spiritbounding questions

[Rinaku]

I have been gathering for quite awhile and notice it hasn't increase much about 2 weeks i think? It is at 39% my miner lvl 50 weapon its blue, and my green gear that is my hat.
What are ways to spirit bound faster?
Do i need to mine the same lvl as my gears? how does it actaully work?

Thanks but still a bit slow but did ran some dungeons and it went smooth then grinding,
but i'm wondering how do you get certian materia I wanted to get quicktounge and craftmanship does it depend on any gear that has spell speed and one that has craftmanship specially III/IV

I believe that all you need to do is spiritbond and convert a lot of gear. If the gear has the stat that you would like the materia to have, then convert that. As far as I know its fairly random, so you might have to convert several pieces of gear to get the one you want.

For example I could convert 10 of the same piece. Sometimes I will get +Control, other times I will get +Craftmanship.

Other than that, just grind on whatever would give you the most exp. Go as high as you are comfortable with, and just do as said in the video. There's no real way to make it super quick, but you can make it quick-er. A lot of people do the FATES in Northern Thanalan to spiritbond gear. It's about as quick as you're going to get it, and it's relatively low risk.

I notice it is random, I got a materia that was random that wasn't really a stat from the gear but seems fun gambling haha
I hope white gears are ok I'm doing the highest one I can just can't do green gears yet reason why I'm also getting craftmanship materia
