Materia Fusion Problem

[Snake]

Hi there.

When using Materia Fusion, I'm having a problem keeping the Materia I want in the fusion.

For example.

I have ULTIMA and I want to fuse it with MP UP ++ 120% but the outcome always creates the MP UP ++ instead of an ULTIMA with the MP 120%.

Are the purple MP Up ++ etc. useless when trying to create a build where you want the spells with the stat buff?

Thank you.

Materia Fusion is a bit complicated in this game. In short every materia has a hidden class and rank which combined with the second materia's class and rank determines the result of the fusion.

In your example the result should always be mp++ thanks to how the system works, you can't improve your ultima with that. Of course crafting ultima with different fusion would be another thing.

To avoid any unnecessary headaches it's best to craft the kind of materia you want with the wanted stats without using too many fusions to get there.

If you have access to mission M6 - 3 - 4, item in the caverns. Then farm demons, They drop darkness

There are items you can farm as well, depending on which stage of the game are you are at, and if you got item unlocked in materia fusion. But the early method using darkness is good as well.

So basically, once you got a materia with the stat you need. fuse that with darkness, (doesn't need to be mastered) that will increase the stat by one point. So you need 100 darkness materia .

also farming darkness, and levelling that with two moggle power, (so four darkness and two moggle power, sit in the first stage and hope for the moggle summon) (if unlocked) then sell the levelled darkness, for SP. As you will need a lot of SP to do the fusion merging with.

for % based stuff, that is similar, but raises it by 10% per darkness if I remember, but you can use potions, up to 40% and high potions, and X potions, for MP, not sure, not boosted that, as its not really critical. main Spr, Vit and magic, (if you use costly punch, then Atk isn't needed.

There are a few ways to do this, but darkest is probably the easy one to do.
