Spiritbond is gained with a piece of gear as you accumulate Experience Points while wearing it (or if capped perform an action which otherwise would yield experience points). When spiritbond with a piece of gear reaches 100%, you can extract a materia - if you have completed the prerequisite quest (called Forging the Spirit.)

Spiritbond Rate

Chart of SB v. iLvl

Spiritbonding rates are determined by the item level compared to the level of content. For maximum spiritbonding, attempt content ~10 levels higher than the ilevel of the gear you are seeking to spiritbind. The "spiritbinding level" of a dungeon can be determined by the iLevel of the gear that drops.

HQ gear increases the rate of bonding by 20%. Each piece of materia bound to the gear being spiritbonded will also increase rate of bonding by +20%.

Various items (shown as Increased Spiritbond Gain) will increase the rate at which spiritbond is gained. There are also several buffs available.
