Cobalt plate = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ingot.
Cobalt ingot = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ore, 2 iron ore (4 needed)
Cobalt rivets = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ingot (3 needed)
Iron ingot = 1 ice shard 3 iron ore


Totals: 41 ice shards, 6 earth shards, 4 cobalt ore, 11 iron ore... I can't imagine those materials costing less than 609gil
I think you missed my point. The direction the game is going, you won't be able to sell anything unless it's to a vendor. True Faucets in video games don't require other players to trade you their gil for your stuff. They require gil to be created out of thin air. Right now one of the most lucrative faucets is Kite Shield.
