[RegnumMagik]

That's not something you should ask here, and not everyone are in the same server as you.

Is this materia supposed to be this expensive? wth.

It's needed for a quest the sellers know this, they also know most people will buy the item instead of making one hence the high price.

Pretty much this. All of the materia that are required for quests have inflated prices.

As a LTW, you can spiritbond it yourself actually...

Some of the high-end gathering accessories can be crafted with a LTW. What I would suggest is making the following:
- Raptorskin Choker
- Raptorskin Ring x2
- Raptorskin Wristbands of Gathering

The last part you are missing from a high level Gatherer's set would be Electrum Earrings, which requires a GSM to craft.

Meld a materia into them - just one of the cheapest Tier 1 materias on your server. If the items are HQ, the spiritbonding rate increases by +20%, and having a materia increases it by another 20% (not sure if additive or multiplicative). Then just go for a few DR high runs, and spiritbond them. I'd suggest playing a tank, since you can choose to take things slow, and control the pace of the dungeon. Or a healer, a loss of 150 per Cure isn't gamebreaking in something like Copperbell HM. You should switch out to your normal gear for boss fights though, but feel free to equip the above accessories for fighting trash mobs.

I just did the LTW 50 quest 2 days ago. Gatherer's Grasp 3 were about 11k each on my server too.

Thanks. I was confused as to how I could spiritbond gathering gear if I didn't have a gathering class. And I'll see if I profit from making those.

Well since you are a LTW, you can make your own Gathering Accs and SB them, that's what I did and got my materia from it.

[SilverRhythm]

Well that's how people play the trick of demand vs supply vs price

They know this materia is compulsory for LTW last quest and all those unfortunate people levelling LTW to 50 is going to cry seeing this at the end :P

did my relic for a sub class last week, crit III is no cheaper...

Wow. My server SA3 are not even 20K anymore. Actually, I think the only grade 3 materia that stays over 20K right now are Quicktongue 3s...and they're usually 25K-30K...
