Walkthrough

Players can trade Mutamix Bubblypots in Central Thanalan (X:23.7, Y:13.6) 5 pieces of any kind of materia and he will give you one random materia in return. The returned materia is guaranteed to be a different type than the starting five, which can be mixed to improve the odds of getting the type the player wants. Occasionally players will get materia that are higher grade than the ones they have traded in.

Steps

• Speak with Mutamix.

Journal

• Kokosamu would share news of his master's latest advance in the arcane art of materia manipulation.

• As Kokosamu tells it, Master Mutamix has developed a method for combining multiple pieces of unneeded materia to give them new form and life─a procedure known as transmutation. He encourages you to speak with the esteemed goblin scholar, that you might enlighten yourself as to the specifics.

• While the precise process of materia transmutation is too complex to be imparted to a layman, Mutamix generously offers to perform the procedure whenever you so desire. To take the goblin up on his offer, you need only bring him five pieces of unwanted materia.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Kokosamu: Riddle me this, friend——have ye ever found yerself in the unfortunate situation where yer pockets were near to burstin' with all manner o' materia, save for the sorts ye wanted the most?
Kokosamu: Well, I have, and I tell ye, it felt like I'd brought a sack full o' fishin' poles to a gold mine. Now, I ask ye: what if there were a way to melt down a couple pieces of materia that weren't availin' you naught, and mold them into a shiny new piece that——Nymeia willin'——just might strike yer fancy?
Kokosamu:' This most handy procedure is somethin' we like to call shifty-makin. Rather, that's what Master Mutamix calls it. Meself, I've coined the term transmutation, which I'm hopin' might find favor with adventurers like yerself.
Kokosamu: How's it all work, ye ask? I could tell ye, but why ask the student when ye can learn from the master? You'll find Mutamix right over there, likely jumpin' out of his boots lookin' to trade tongueflaps about his discovery.

Speaking to Mutamix Bubblypots

Mutamix Bubblypots: Pshhh... Shkohhh... Uplander seeks knowings of shifty-making, yes? Then uplander should make openears to tongueflaps of Mutamix.
Mutamix Bubblypots: Process of shiftymaking is of big help-use. First, be taking five need-not materia, yes? Melty-mix this one, mixy-melt that one, squeeze and squash, then bigeyes! Five need-not are reborn as one shiny-new!
Mutamix Bubblypots: Shkohhh! But shifty-making is not simple like crafty-making. Knowings of shifty-making are much and many, and uplander's braincase——though big for uplander——is small.
Mutamix Bubblypots: Uplander need not be making worry-face. If uplander has many need-not materia, bring them to tent-ring. Mutamix will shifty-make for uplander!
