You don't need to level any craft to convert to materia. Just to meld it to gear.

I'm not sure how much space it really saves when I turn the thing I didn't need anymore into water resistance materia I also don't need.

Still it's good advice. Every once in a while you'll get something useful, and it beats the hell out of vendoring things for 50 gil apiece.

once bonded 100% just go to your character ability screen and select the convert/materia button, FYI, you have to complete a quest to do this. it takes place during the main story quest when you talk to the goblin about materia.

Do the quest from this guy, right click on the item, click convert.

Not entirely true, it takes you to Mutamix, but the guy who gives the quest is the one behind him. I got into the level 30's missions before I realized I had missed the materia quest.

I get now why they allowed you to convert stuff to materia before you could start melding it - because otherwise you might start having armory issues with gear you're not sure you want to give up. I went through and just zapped any gear at 100% spiritbond into materia. Chances are good I can always get a replacement for cheap if I need it.

I got suckered for 180 days. Apparently someone in our LS had a friend who couldn't create on Balmung, so who knows what the server situation is across the board. Either way, the 6 months is ok with me at the pace I'm playing.

I have yet to be asked to even input any payment information anywhere.
Guess it's different for everyone.

You can go ahead and set it up on the Mog Station now, to avoid any nasty surprises on your first billing date.

And to avoid the inevitable server problems when that day comes and hundreds of thousands of people are trying to input their payment information at the same time.

Both of these need to be checked O.o If i can move gear to a retainer and get it again, sweetness.


I have some gear it wont let me put on my retainer because there's already one of them there, so it appears you can have more than 1 of a unique item, if that's what your reffering to.

I think you can also have two retainers, so you can put the second potion on the second one and be rid of them both from standard inventory for good.


We can have two retainers???? Are you sure?? If so, you just saved me a ton of space.


I'm fairly certain I remember the retainer NPC saying you can have two retainers (but only two.) I'll have to test this later.


I have gotten and used 2 retainers on one character, so I can confirm it.

correct, today was charge day for people with 1.0 accounts who got a free copy of the game and did not upgrade to a CE this go round. We only got 14 (+7 apology) days free.

Anyone who paid for the 2.0 game, be it the base game or the CE, got at least 37 free days.

Mine says something to the effect of payment not needed since my subscription is currently active.

19 more free days for 2.0 purchasers. No transgender potions I'm afraid.

I think if you prepay with Crysta it takes it. But if you have direct billing set up via credit card, it doesn't.
