Grade 1-4 Materia

Could we purchase these with poetics as well please?

You can't really get any low level stuff with poetics (which makes sense since the vendors are in lv 50+ areas). Might make more sense to sell them for GC seals IMO. Not that they aren't already dirt cheap as is.

Selling low-grade materia has been a great revenue raiser for my low-level alts. They go for maybe 1000 gil each on that server.

On Gilgamesh and every server I checked today on Aether Grade 1 Crits were at the least 5k. Grade 2s were 20k at the cheapest. On my server, I didn't bother to check anywhere else. Grade 3s and 4s were about 1k each maybe cheaper.

there are 2 quests which require grade 1/2 materia(as far as i remember), that's why the prices of those are usually a bit higher then grade 3/4. what do you need the low grade materia anyway, other then using it to increase desynth chance,where u can use grade 3-4 which are much cheaper? i haven't bothered soul-binding low lvl gear in a while, but usually u can get yourself low lvl gear from npc and do a few faits, it should go rly fast.

also what "Clicked" proposed sounds like the better solution to me.

ARR relic is one example that requires them.

i know, this is one of the two quests i meant (ok its more then 2 but its 1 quest type "relic quest") and because of the relic quest the prices are usually higher then grade 3-4. other then that what are they needed for?

as well as forcing melds low levels have better chance. Then of course there is math. If you only need 4 points to cap why would you use a 12 point materia.

ARR Relic needs a Grade 3 specifically for one part of the relic and then you need about 80 grade 1-3 ranks of materia to meld with the alexandrite for the scroll.

Since you can get a ton of grade 4 materia from ARR beast tribe dailies - combat materia as well as crafting/gathering ones - and you can buy grade 1-3 crafting/gathering from Ixal, it would make sense to be able to buy combat materia from other ARR beast tribe vendors for coins.

Beast tribes become obsolete really fast after getting their minions and outfits... they may be used for venture coins, but that's pretty much it.

Offering materia for sale would be neat. Maybe add grade 5 materia as reward for completing HW beast tribe quests and grade 6 materia for SB ones at highest reputation.

We get grade 4-6 materia from almost every content. But beast tribes... they seem to be lacking once maxed - except for leveling alt jobs.

I mean... If you REALLY want...

You can do Ixal quests and buy a ton of level 1-3 crafting Materia and then go take it all to Mutamix and shiftymake it until you're left with only combat materia.

Like some crazy kitty is doing >.>

(Seriously, we need QoL updates for Mutamix... When I walk up to him with several 999 stacks of materia I get the same dread as when I queue up for Eureka ;_; )

Relic requires 2x Grade 3 (Melded onto a specific weapon, as it's forming the "Base" of the Relic)

Then Novus requires 75 melded grade 1-3 materia (Though, with fail chances, it's likely you'll need more than 75 pieces of materia)

Crafting job quests too, although not nearly as many as the ARR relic quest.
