Hmm, it'd take 2.5 Rank IV Accuracy materia's to get ACC to max on it. No big deal, except that that Heavens' Eye Materia IV costs over 100K a piece right now, it's the only battle materia thats price has really held up unfortunately. XD
Guess I could just put three Rank III's and settle for +18 ACC, or something. That or resell it.

Don't settle.
Meld 2 Heavens Eye IV into the given slots.
Then gamble with a Heaven's eye 2 or 3 to max that stat.
Then choose the next important stat and do your 4th and 5th melds of grade IV materia
Basically you fuse the most expensive stuff first as it has less chance to fail. (the values are close to this)
Slot 1 - 100%
Slot 2 - 100%
Slot 3 - 46%
Slot 4 - 24%
Slot 5 - 12%
Why can I give them money? What's the point?
Why would I need more than 2 of them? I assume the amount of stuff they can hold is limited but are the markets in the three cities not all connected?
Retainers can also be used to store extra items, plus if you really enjoy sending retainers on ventures, buying more would increase your ability to do so.

Makes sense, assuming I don't resell. (I'm torn, this'd be a no brainer except for that absurdly priced materia!) Then I guess I could put parry on the rest, since it's relatively cheap right now.

Ah, that'd explain why so many of the crafted pieces don't have the most desirable stats.
Well, I'll mull it out over the course of the day. While I can afford this, at 110K a piece just for the Heavens Eye IV, it'd turn this piece into an absurdly expensive stop-gap piece.
Shame I didn't check the price on that first, I just assumed it would've fallen down to the 10-50K range, like most the other pieces of battle materia.

No point, but you can take the money the make from the stuff you sell from them.
Each retainer has 175 inventory spaces once you start getting a lot of crap a third one starts to sound good. Also each can have 20 items for sale at the same time, if you want to sell more stuff you'd need another.
The markets are connected, but the taxes might vary (I've never seen this) and the buyer's fee depends on where they buy from so 2 items listed at the same price in 2 different markets might not end up being the same price for a buyer.

I know, I just figured that if I could throw this together for less then 500K total, it'd be worth the money not having to worry about ACC every time I saw an item I wanted to equip that didn't have ACC on it. Again, I'm pointing to the Fending Ribbon, or almost any of the Soldiery accessories.
At this point though, I'm tempted to sell it to somebody within the FC on the cheap, take 100-150K loss on it, so that they can maybe do the melding themselves and resell it for booku bucks. 100-150K loss wouldn't be a big deal to me right now, and would teach me to do my research before making these kinds of purchases.
Crit Rate. And the accuracy cap for SMN's is higher since we have to account for the pet...not sure on the accuracy for Coil 2 but 450 is perfect for the first Coil.

So I've been playing solo for a bit. How do I join a random group to quest together? I'm like level 8. I sent in my GAF application. But in the meantime, I'm lonely

The game is largely solo until you reach, 14 I think, at which point you'll have to team up with other players to tackle dungeons.
In the mean time, you can use the party finder to recruit a bunch of other low level players to do Fates with you on the overworld. You should find the party finder under the, social menu I think it is. That or the party menu, I really should have this memorized by now. XD

Wanting to play with others definitely isn't a bad thing in this game, and if you can recruit some people to do low level Fates with you, you'll be able to get upto level 15 more quickly, and get to the portion of the game where you're regularly interacting with other players.
Also, if you're in a low level area, and you see somebody putting together an Atma farming party, join immediately.

I've always been able to run dungeons through RP.
I guess it just depends on your connection. Luckily I'm usually around a decent one anytime I am playing the Vita.
Make sure you go through their chat support (avoid email), it seems to be the most reliable in terms of getting results within a reasonable amount of time.

It's not a connection issue for me, more of a hotbar placement. I can do story quests just fine, but for dungeons I need more than 1 hotbar and switching on Vita is painfully slow. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.
And only £5 more to ship outside the UK! I should buy one... I vastly prefer the ASCII/English keyboard layout to the Japanese one (shift-7 for an apostrophe, are you nuts?); it's my only complaint with the one I've got.
So finally hit Dragoon. I couldn't find the abilities, but had to equip the stone. And it seems to reset the hotbars, and I can only equip 3 cross class skills for now?
I expected the worst, going in the level 30 Lancer quest. But it was easy. And I was only level 30.
I died twice, due to his adds.
But the third time I killed him, as soon as he started to ramble about not losing I unlocked myself from him and went for his adds asap. Once they were dead I resumed doing what I did, just basic combo him to death. Didn't even need IR, Second Wind et al. I didn't heal.
Also, I did the manor dungeon. But how the fuck was I supposed to know you have to Return? Are there hints or am I missing something?
I do notice that things do become more tactical from level 30 onward. And I do have some problems with controller targeting costing valuable seconds, even though I use filters.
You just hope someone in the dungeon has run it before, notices you're new and is nice enough to actually tell you instead of having you walk all the way back.
A guy did just that, for which I'm grateful. He wasn't an ass about it. But I didn't get a commendation even though I was doing a good job otherwise. Oh well, I've learnt something yet again. Can re-run it, telling another noob =)
I do need a kb though. The more I progress the more I feel its sort of required.
You don't /have/ to use Return, that's just one of the things people use to make that dungeon go by quicker. Nothing wrong with walking back to the entrance with your own two feet!

Why, back in my day you had to do just that. With a sack of rocks on your back. And it was snowing indoors somehow!
I did that a couple of days ago, everyone returned and I thought they interacted with something to telephone onward. I was looking around all over and they were already in the next enemies before someone finally decided to tell me.

Three hours to get through Stone Vigil.
It was a nightmare.
Oh well. Guess I should come to terms with the idea that things will go wrong repeatedly from now on.
I had the same trouble when I ran it. But there were 2 of us who were clueless and the other guy went and got a mob to attack us. So after they finally told me to return I couldn't do it. Turns out dying has the same effect...
People are also forgetting about Guildhests. Those start at level 10, and are small encounters for a group of 4 and eventually 8. Think of them as "training" for the real dungeons/boss fights.
Sigh, I've been doing 2-3 EX Titan tries each day (queuing takes ages) and I'm still far from beating it.
By far the most difficult fight in the game I've tried.
