I was also looking to craft the Chardis Gear since It never seems to drop for me in the Dungeon. I am also not able to find it in the armoring menu when using the forge.
Please Devs include this set in the items that can be crafted with Materia.
I’m pretty sure I got chardis (and blighted growth) in non-M10 laz (or gen) runs, why did they change this? Like, seriously. Getting Chardis drops was awesome for str builds as it was good enough with weapon perks armor pieces to run end game content. Getting end game content as you progressed through the mutation levels was very rewarding. I am pretty sure we all don’t mind the grind, but there needs to be a sense of satisfaction along the way.
Isabella’s armor drop was something different again, as that was meant to be the dungeon at the end of the narrative…
