If you’re playing FF7 Ever Crisis, it’s crucial to understand how materia synthesis works. This guide breaks down the basics of materia synthesis and what rarity or chance of rarity you will get based on how long the synthesis takes. Let’s dive in.
Materia Synthesis
In FF7 Ever Crisis, materia synthesis is a key part of the game. When you synthesize materia for your characters, the time it takes determines its rarity. Getting 5-Star materia is the goal for maximum damage, healing, and high sub-stats.
My suggestion for all materia synthesis, once you have materials to guarantee certain rarities, is to use as few as possible. For example, if you can guarantee a 3-Star, use fewer rarer synth materials and more commons. This way, you maximize the value of the rarer materials that are not easily obtained.
Except for the lowest level 1-Star materia, you can only guarantee 2-Star and 3-Star Materia. If you lack the materials for a 3-Star Materia, it’s best to use materials to guarantee a 2-Star Materia at its minimum level, which is level 2. Making level 2/2-Star materia covers 99% of your synthesis attempts. Levels 3 and 4 from adding synth materials don’t increase the chance of higher rarity and mostly waste precious materials. Most materia only needs two or three 3-star synth materials to reach level two, while the guaranteed 3-Star at level 5 requires over 10, with most needing at least one 5-Star synth material.
Refer to the image below to see the materia outcome based on the starting synthesis wait time. Longer times increase the chance of a more rare materia. If the synthesis time is between two rarities, the outcome could be either, but it’s more likely to be the lower rarity than the higher one.
