I got the level 50 Botanist, similar gear but no materia melded yet. The prices of the Cocoons and Clusters have virtually dropped that most crafters either harvest them for their personal use or stockpile for when the Market Board is favorable. I have seen the price per cocoon drop over 100 gil in just a weeks time, and even the HQ is dropping in price. I don't have Miner high enough yet (just level 33) but the Darksteel is not going as high as it was in the past. The Clusters are starting to be botted on this server, enough to the point I have stopped farming them.
