9 Coke required now? (or other)

I did not have any cracked materia from 1.0. All my materia was stored on my brother's account who was killed between the downtime of 1.0 and 2.0 and thus his account never got migrated. I know the token price and all I've been pointing out is that you don't have to farm tokens. The items are not bind on pickup. You can buy them from the AH. So if it's faster for you to farm up the gil to buy the materials than it is to farm dungeons, as it was for me, then some the pieces are worth it. Also, I have ran less than 10 dungeons and spirit bound 3 sets of ilvl 55 gear. You will get about 30% per run especially in CM.

I'm going to run a quick check(because that's what trolls do lol), but I'm pretty sure that you don't need a single piece of materia in the crafted HQ gear for them to be equal to DL gear.
