CaspianRoach: Just got Grebuloff from a level 90 Highland Exploration, so it can drop from that one as well, just like the other types of explorations.

All [[Highland Exploration]]s require a payment of 2 [[Ventures]] and take your [[Retainer]] 18 hours to complete.

==Walkthrough==
The North American and European datacenters primarily use [[Party Finder]] to challenge (Extreme) content. Using Duty Finder to match with random, unprepared players is not recommended and will be more difficult than pre-forming a party.

==Steps==
*Re-attune to the aetheryte at [[Natalan]].
*Use the Duty Finder to confront [[Garuda]] in the [[Howling Eye (Extreme)]].
*Bring the vortex ritual focus to [[Vorsaile Heuloix]] at the Adders' Nest in [[Gridania]].
*Deliver the vortex ritual focus to [[Urianger]] at the [[Waking Sands]] in [[Vesper Bay]].

==Journal==
*Commander Vorsaile Heuloix wishes to send you against the latest incarnation of Garuda.

*After briefing you on the unusually potent manifestation of the primal, Commander Heuloix bids you confront Garuda in her domain in the Howling Eye. Travel to the Coerthas central highlands and battle your way to the beastman aetheryte deep within Natalan.

*You have fought past the ranks of the Ixal to once more stand before the Natalan Aetheryte. Assemble your companions, and do battle with the Lady of the Vortex!

*The Howling Eye (Extreme) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.

*You have defeated the primal Garuda and obtained a strange object fashioned of bone.

*Deliver the bone curiosity to Commander Heuloix at the Adders' Nest in Gridania, and inform him of your success against the primal Garuda.

*Commander Heuloix surmises that the unsettling memento you retrived from the Howling Eye is likely some manner of ritual object. Return to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay, and consult with Urianger on the nature of your grisly trophy.

*You deliver the ritual focus to Urianger, and the scholarly Elezen surmises that Garuda's enhanced powers are likely the result of an altered rite of summoning. Doubting the Ixal's willingness to meddle in the traditional ritual, Urianger suspects the involvement of the chaos-breeding Ascians. As if to underscore his suspicions, the Scion prepares to tell you of yet another primal threat...

Materia

CaspianRoach: Incorrect item level for level IV materia. See this for confirmation https://i.imgur.com/5bix8PV.png

{{see also|Types of Materia}}
Materia can be used to enhance your gear. You can attach materia into a piece of equipment with socket(s) to improve its attributes.

Players can acquire materia by extracting it from pieces of equipment with 100% spiritbond. Spiritbond percentage increases as you use that piece of armor in battle, crafting or gathering.
 
==Creating Materia==
{{main|Spiritbond}}
To create materia, you must first complete the quest: {{questlink|feature|Forging the Spirit}}. The quest giver is [[Swynbroes]], located at [[The Bonfire]] in [[Central Thanalan]] (23,13).

You can create materia from your weapons, armors and tools with [[spiritbond]] of 100%. You can increase the spiritbond percentage of a piece of gear by earning experience through battle, crafting and gathering while wearing that piece.

The type of materia you create from a piece of gear depends on the gear's intended class. For example, when you extract from a piece gear designed for a [[pugilist]] or [[lancer]], you will receive materia that is ideal for physical, melee damage dealing.

==Materia Tiers==
Lower level gear produces lower-tier materia. Additionally, higher materia tiers require higher level gear for melding.

*Tier VI and VIII materia "cannot be melded onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot."
*NOTE: Various materia has since been discontinued, such as Fire, Ice, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning materia – used to add elemental resistance to gear. In addition, various core-stat materia was also discontinued, including Intelligence, Mind, Strength, Dexterity, and Vitality materia.

==Melding Materia==
The easiest way to meld (attach) Materia is to find a [[Materia Melder]] (NPC) who will perform the service for a small fee. This method has no level requirement. You can find them near one of the [[Market Board]]s in any of the three cities or player housing if the owner has purchased and placed a [[Materia Melder Permit]].

To meld Materia yourself, you will need to complete the {{questlink|feature|Waking the Spirit}} quest. The quest giver is F'hobhas, located at The Bonfire in Central Thanalan (x:23, y:13). You will need to be level 19 or higher with at least one [[Disciple of the Hand]] (crafter) to accept the quest. Once completed, you will unlock the "Materia Melding" action.

===Forbidden Melds & Overmelding===
It is possible to meld more materia to a piece of gear than the available slots. Doing so requires completing the {{questlink|feature|Melding Materia Muchly}} quest given by Mutamix, also located at The Bonfire in Central Thanalan (x:23, y:13). You will need to be level 25 or higher with at least one Disciple of the Hand (crafter) to turn in the quest.

Note that you can accept the quest at level 19, but can't turn it in until level 25. However, you can turn in the quest as any level 25+ class, including Disciples of War or Magic.

The quest involves melding 8 materia to gear in front of Mutamix. To save time, you can use one piece of materia and one gear socket. Simply meld the one materia, then right click on the item and retrieve the materia you just melded. Then, meld that same materia back into the same slot. Repeat for a total of 8 times.

Once complete, the "Advanced Materia Melding" action replaces the standard "Materia Melding" action. Advanced melds are better known as forbidden melds or overmelding.

Forbidden melds allow you to meld up to 5 materia to a piece of gear. However, the chance of success is low, typically starting at 45 or 35%. The probability of success decreases further depending on the number of materia already melded. Going for a full five melds (pentamelding) typically ends at about 4-8% for the final meld.

Crafters attempting pentamelds often lose lots of materia during the process unless extremely lucky.

==Materia Transmutation==
{{:Materia Transmutation}}

==Removing Materia==
You can remove materia from items using the item context menu. While doing so, there is a chance of preserving the removed materia for further use.
