Is the answer armor? The ones that yield greater rewards (growth rates for materia) usually have less options (slots to place them in).

The Dragon Bracelet (Armlet?), on the other hand, has more slots, but a normal growth rate. And the Blue Dragon in Gaea's Cliff drops one!

By the way...the title to my last post said "looks like this is a good one," but after reading back a ways, I see that almost every riddle here is a good one.

I'm new to riddle threads, so I can't claim the judgement of a veteran, but I think the riddles here are consistently better than ones I've found elsewhere. I'll try to come up with good ones, too.
