Level XI materia?
Why is level XI materia so much lower ( +18) than level X (+36)?

It's used for overmelds in crafted gear (where you can meld more than the shown materia slots).

It’s to meld beyond the first overmeld slot. Gears that allow advance melding will let you meld up to 5 times.

When they release a new tier of materia, there's one without limitations that's slightly lower than the previous tier's set and then there's one that can only be slotted a limited number of times.

As mentioned above, everytime a new set of materia releases it comes in two tiers; One that can be overmelded(XI) and one that can't be (XII) but has higher stats.

Overmelding is the act of putting more materia on a piece of gear than it actually has slots for. This requires a bit of luck to succeed and the requisite crafter level (you can always ask crafters for help).
Note though that this can only be done with craftable gear.

XII can be used for the slots that already exist on gear, and for the first overmeld. Beyond that, you need XI.
If you aren't using crafted gear then it's safe to ignore (or possibly sell) your XI materia.
