That is a damn good analysis but it seems to ignore weapons altogether unless i'm bad at reading.

Well it's not my data, just something I stumbled upon.

I have also been curious if the % is any better on weapons but have not had the time to try.

Thank you that was very insightful.

I'm 0/8 on Sarnga and I spiritbond at least 30 appropriate items a day (I'd be very lucky to get one Heaven's Eye IV out of this).
So as it stands, I can't make my own or buy them because the rate is too damn low and I'm poor.
I suggest simply increasing the chance of creating Heaven's Eye IV as this will not over complicate things and can be done without a huge cafuffle.

I'd just like to point out that this isn't a gil sink. Agil sink is a mechanism whereby gil is removerd from the economy. Regardless of the amount you pay for your materia that gil remains in the economy, just in somone elses inventory.

Good point, I think I meant redistribution of gil.

Yoshi-p said a while back that he going to do something about players having so much gil i guess this is pretty much his idea lol but sadly it's not taking away the money it just moving it to other players.

Technically a percentage is being removed.

Hmm... I still have guild marks. I should go see what I can buy. w

I wish you could pool all your guild marks.

I have 83k MRD marks... need 86k for Heavens Eye. Have 50k here, 30k there... too bad can't just add them all up.

i understand the frustration with the materia prices. it sucks.

but i personally spiritbound a lot of belts to get some heaven's eye IV...also traded with fellow LS members. 2mil per materia was outrageous.
maybe you are an unfortunate one whos friends only see $$ so that might not be an option.

grats on your meld though. i went 1/1 personally, then did another 1/5, and two more 2/9.

Unless we are buying te weapons from GM's mules. Hummmm

One thing perhaps to keep in mind is:
If it is challenging to make your own materia, you can still make other high-demand materia, sell it, then use that gil to buy the materia you really want.

For example, if it is hard to make Heavens Eye, perhaps you can still make Intelligence, sell that, then use the gil for buying the Materia you really want.
