Relic quest: question about melding materia

[Malendroit]

I ended up eating the cost. If you haven't been leveling a crafting class up to this point, you should have plenty of gil to spend on what you need.
Also check at the bottom of the Market Board list. I found 2 of the weapon on the Midgarsormr server that had already been melded and were slightly more expensive.
(about 80k for the melded weapon, which wasn't a bad deal considering that quicktongue III's were selling at ~30k a pop and the rod itself was about 8k).

I figure I can take up a craft later, but doing it solely for this quest is very time consuming.

Yeah, I have 300k gil and nothing to spend it on, but the idea of spending 100k on just these two things....I just need to get over it
