Tier 4 Materia rate?

[Simaril]

If I want to make crafting (cp, control, craftmanship) materia, (obviously I can get them from crafting gear). Anyone know what (III or IV) you get from what level gear? Will the "Patrician's" set give me III or IV??? How about the "Militia" off hands? The IV control materia was over 70k last night :/

Meanwhile, I made and 100% spirit bound a 3 cobalt hammers by Quick Synthing 4 stacks cobalt ingots to get rid of excess materials and leves (dealing with the tough stuff). Ore and ingots sell absurdly cheap - so the leve was decent profit.

9 ingots = 1 triple turn in leve. 4 stacks of ingots = 44 leves.
44 X 3(triple turn in) X 500gil = 66,000gil

I should have worn junk gear to convert, but instead I was wearing nothing but a hammer **addition** Wearing just a hammer, I was getting 100% spiritbond, and 50% damage after about a stack and a half(?) [more than a stack, less than 2] of cobalt ingots as a lv50 arm.

My method of profit on the QS items, plus his method of spiritbonding a full set looks like a winning combination Alas, I've run out of leves :/
