While I admit I went through about 9 million gil pentamelding my DoH/DoL Aesthete gear at the final bit of ShB after I ran through several hundred of each type of materia I had stockpiled (I did not have good overmelding luck that crafter tier...), and I managed to get through with only like 900k on pentamelding my gear this time -- mostly for one slot, because apparently all my bad luck was concentrated on that one particular ring -- I had someone mention in a despairing tone on Discord earlier tonight that they'd spent more than thirty million gil on materia for pentamelding their DoH/DoL gear in the past week, and I just about swallowed my own tongue.
