Do people think that (I think tier 2... Sunstone, sphene, malicite etc) Rings are not worth it from 37->...

I'm Rank 37 and I'm able to get silver nuggets for about 2k a nugget.... I pick up the gemstones anywhere from 2k-3k... (either raw or finished)

The synth costs roughly 6k and you get 2k back if you NPC it.... so you're looking at taking a 4k hit in mats.. Which really isn't too terrible considering the alternatives.... plus you're getting about 400/500 a synth....

So even if you go Silver needles... which will cost you 1 nuggett (2k) but probably nets you 150-200 (haven't done it in awhile) you're going to end up spending 2 nuggets worth (atleast) to accomplish the 1 ring synth.... which puts you already at spending 4k (not counting crystal cost) which you NPC for 1000.. costing you 3k a synth...

So at BEST you're saving 1k gil.... thoughts?
