Idea to make relics less of a grind...

How to kill an economy 101. I just did my own spiritbonding to get my materia, there was zero out-of-pocket expense. It takes time and effort but it's doable. Easily.

That's assuming you can even get the materia you want out of the process.

Oh, you can. Maybe not every time, but you do eventually. The materia I didn't want, I put up on mb, or gave them away to my fc members, or put them in the next set of gear I crafted to speed up the sb rate, my fiance and I would simply gather our mats the night before, craft the stuff when we logged on, and spiritbond (usually used the small cave in coerthas, sometimes urth's gift) a set of hq gear melded to it's safe limit bonded so fast between the two of us. Only frustrating part was getting the element IV materia, but then we'd just take those to Mutamix, and if it was something we didn't want, threw it up on the mb, it takes time and effort, it's not hard though.


Edit since I forgot to say it before: I like the idea the OP is going for, as others have said it'd take some tuning and tweaking, but overall, it's a good idea.

Quite the reasonable option here, altho Im sure it would need some fine tuning but overall Im also up for it.

Well, you can get 10~13 per try... and materia I to III arent that hard to make... as for the IV... well, the place holder route might help the most.
