The game does “tell” you when a piece of gear reaches 100 percent Spiritbond… Sorta. Especially with crafting and gathering gear. It can be surprisingly profitable if you do a lot of endgame content, which raises Spiritbond faster, too. Extracting actually generates new Materia out of thin air.

This is different from removing your existing Materia (which is shown as “Retrieve Materia” when you select an item). At 100 percent Spiritbond you can “Extract Materia” from the item. This is a percentage level tied to every piece of equipment you wear: armor, weapons, and accessories.

On a related note, make sure you’re always checking your Spiritbond. You can just break down your weapons and gear and lose all that precious Materia in the process for zero reward. That’s great! Except the item is lost in the process - along with whatever Materia it had equipped. Several such missions have you turn in a weaker tier of weapon for a better one. Most actions that destroy or otherwise “delete” gear from the game don’t warn you that you have Materia still equipped. Naturally, you don’t want to just throw it away.įFXIV does not hold your hand in this regard. The newest stuff, on the other hand, can really run up a tab. Older grades of the stuff usually go for cheap on the Market Board. So long as you have the gil and/or “cracked cluster” needed to buy the Materia. You can choose to boost your skill speed, survivability, damage, healing, etc. It’s the chief way to customize your character for combat, since the best weapons and armor for each class are usually a foregone conclusion. Materia is an extremely valuable resource in FFXIV. So let’s take a look at our guide to a few things FFXIV doesn’t tell you (or at least does a really poor job of directing you towards). There’s a long way to go before we’re done. With that out of the way, we should really get to the heart of the matter. Yet how do you know where to find the right quests in the first place? In such cases we try our best to call out these elements in the body of the sections where those instructions can be found in-game. Most players can probably follow directions laid out in a quest. Yet it doesn’t always tell you where to find that information in the first place. In some cases, the game technically tells you where certain things can be found or what they do. This still may be a tiny bit broader than our usual articles in the same vein. That means the real trick to this tips guide is separating what feels like a genuinely important or useful “thing the game doesn’t tell you” from random trivia. Going all the way back to the release of A Realm Reborn, in fact. Just as FFXIV has been years in the making, so too have we been playing it for years. There are many things not addressed in this tips guide at all! Yet over the course of roughly 13,000 words we’ve hopefully put together something like a good guide to where you should start when looking for things you might have missed, too. Not that this is a comprehensive list by any means. It’d be hard not to let a few things fall through the cracks after years of continuous development, of course, which is why we’re here to hopefully help plug those holes.

The game is full to bursting with things the makers of Final Fantasy simply don’t want to tell you. FFXIV tips aren’t terribly tough to write.
