That would be awesome, but keep in mind I don't have much in the way of repaying you

Who said anything about repaying me? Wink

A fellow RPCer crafted me a full set of HQ iron armor back when I was starting out (which I still have, thanks Dev!). So, the least I can do is pay that forward. If I ask you for anything, it'd most likely only be to grab me a material or two (like an Aldgoat Horn or something, some of the recipes have oddball materials) if I'm missing them to make you your gear.

Gegenji beat me to it but if you are in any rush then I can be online now and get your gear back for you ^^   Sorry to hear about that though. Not sure if I ever ever done it myself, thankfully *laughs*

I'm suddenly reminded of sharding my tier shoulders right after Pandaria came out and losing my tier transmog because of it.

More sympathy.

This would be the exact reason why I decided a long time ago to always wait until my classes are into their "blues" (read: artifact and other post-50 gear that, for the most part, can't be converted) before breaking gear down for materia.

RE: Wow what the..... - SicketySix - 02-26-2015

I get the page icon, but when I clicked the icon to break stuff down it only displayed a list, so I did not once think that it was displaying items in a gear set..

Are y'all opening up your armory chest inventory and just double checking the item name form the list, or is there a way to break it down from the inventory?

What really sucks is I was in my level 14 miners gear at the time, so yeah still have that......So I guess the only gear that is actually considered safe is equipped gear.

Either way, it was just really bad luck on my part coupled with not really paying attention to what I was doing. Luckily I wasn't breaking down some super awesome end game gear and was just breaking down pre-50 gear.

Oh, yeah, I never use the Convert menu itself. I break down my gear from my Armory Inventory exclusively. See, if you right-click on your items, there's a whole list of things it shows - Try On, Meld, Desynth, Link and so forth. The "Convert" - if present (sometimes there's stuff you can't) - option will reduce that item to materia. That way you're looking at it in the inventory and can spot the page icon and make sure you're not destroying those.

Oh man, I never noticed that, what a waste!

Keep in mind that this works for Desynths too - and ARM/BSM desynths are equipment as well. To keep you from reducing your gear to its base components and/or an assortment of demimateria.

Awesome, thanks for the headsup!

RE: Wow what the..... - Kage - 02-26-2015

Definitely, if you can utilize the visual of your Armory Chest.

You can "right-click" meld, desynthesis, convert from that area.

This way you don't meld a material on the wrong item or desynth/convert an item you have to a gear set.

that's a really good idea...i haven't broken too much down since i'm worried of losing a piece i need or worse yet; a glamour piece...sooo stuf is strewn across my two retainers, invo and armory. i think it's way past time i clean up a little xD

i do have the bad habit of turning gear i'm using into flame hall on those deliverly missions tho.. >.>;;;

Maybe that's where a few missing gear set pieces have gone......

That's why I make sure I set the dropdown option to only show stuff in my normal bags. Then, I just drag the stuff I want to turn in from my Armory into my Inventory and go to town. Blush

RE: Wow what the..... - SicketySix - 02-26-2015

Oh well, glad to figure this out now rather than at lvl 50.

RE: Wow what the..... - Khoure - 02-26-2015

cant say this has really happened to me since ive been using inventory to convert the whole time and always caught the little page. That being said, I have wasted materia points by melding higher grade materia that exceeded the points max for the gear. That one gives a wrtten warning in bright red, so i dunno what that says about me lol
