Eyeshield, a lot of crafters already had their gear max melded. Doing it right now is pretty much insane because of the massive spike in materia costs. For the gear sets I do not have maxed out I am going to wait a couple weeks until the price of materia goes back down if I decide to buy. You might consider taking a day of playing and just going into CT, running Dungeons, or grinding monsters with Crafting gear on to spiritbond, this making the cost significantly less.
