Wrong you need a lot of specific mats,(even if you plan on making 1 of everything, most mats you are only going to use less than 10). If Spiritbonding, then most mats are going to be from level 50 nodes if you are going for tier 4 materia.

Also just gathering everything you need to do crafts won't keep you gathering class leveled to the point you need to keep up with leveling your crafting classes, even if you do them all at once. If your leveling your crafting class with leves, even using just triple-turn in ones.
