Gil Spam

[RyuSaarva]

If SE wouldn't design crafting to be as tedious, grindy soul crushing and RNG infested (Hello 16% chance overmeld with materia @120K gil a pop) then we would not have this problem.

More people would level their crafters, more people would EQUIP them at 60 (the true brick wall grind) to be able to craft star recipes.

More supply same/less demand -> Prices go down. Economics 101.

SE simply fails to account for player mentality when it comes to crafting, since we all know how much better asian folks can tolerate mind numbing grinds compared to western players.

what your melding is 16% that seems really high unless you don't even overmeld items propelry and grade IV control materia is about 180k and grade III is 60k right now on phoenix, so since I am out of materia right now, I only craft tools and body pieces which I don't plan to meld before grade V materias become easier to get.

Meld chances (e.g.: Chestnut accessories): 100% -> 35% -> 16% -> 11% -> 7%
Generally it is not advisable to use Tier IV materia on Slot 4/5 since you burn way too much gil trying to press that one in.

Also LMAO for calling a 16% chance "high". It is crap like this that makes people shy away from Engame crafting.

The result is what you people lament: a few persons controlling the markets.
