Gil Spam

[Felis]

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.

Materia melding have nothing to do with level up a DoH class.
just buy the needed items for the leves and GC from the MB, if crafting them yourself is too much for you.
Also, you can buy materias from the Diadem shop, if they are overprized in the MB.

You don't craft do you?

If you did you would realize that leveling a craft to 60 means jack shit. You won't be able to craft anything worthwhile, because everything even remotely interesting is locked behind star recipes that need MOAR STATS.

How do you get MOAR STATS? Dump millions of gil into the RNG slotmachine or spend weeks on the red script grind.

Leveling a craft to 60 is MAYBE 25% of the effort required to get ready to craft 2* patterns, and lets not even begin about chances of HQing them.
