When the HW HQ leveling gear goes for 100k+, 200k for the endgame melds seems reasonable enough.

Obviously the NPC wouldn't be able to overmeld.

That way, crafters will still be depended on and there is an advantage. much like crafters being able to repair anywhere, anytime, and can repair their stuff up to 200%, instead of 100%.
If the gear can't be overmelded what is the point of overmelding?

Your prices are way too low. That way nobody would need a crafter for the melds ever, because earning the gil would take as much time as looking for a crafter.

The NPC could be an option, but it shouldn't be more effective than the crafters.
