Relic Questline about 30% too much IMHO

Bad thing about Novus are the ton of Grade IV Materias that you need.
You need about 11 ish grade IV's per stat.

On my Server piety 4 is at 380k. So thats about 4,2 mil Just for piety. Same for Det / Savage Might.

I hope the gilsellers have a fun time.

Or you could form a spiritbound group and go nuts with AoE, if you get what you need sweet but if not then sell all unwanted materias for profit and buy ones you need. Oh and its also best way to rank up your chocobo so its win-win.

Even if you spirit bind, it costs about the same. It costs X number of materia, and each materia is worth Y gil. That you get your materia from a different source does not change the actual worth of that materia.

Well yeah ofcourse it doesnt change the prices but every IV you get from bonding is personally free for you as you are not buying it from MB, but if you value irl time then its "cheaper" just to buy them. Maybe i totally missed your point as its getting pretty late for me atm :P

I was going more for "Okay, you now have a Tier IV materia. You can either meld it or sell it. The difference in gil depending on your choice is the same (aside from taxes) as the difference between binding and just buying."
