    I did some spirit bonding in the South Shroud was pretty fast. My question is why do people talk about putting material on the gear you are trying to Spirit Bond?

    Because each materia increases the spiritbonding speed.

    I believe one materia ups it by 20%, two by 40% etc.

    Trash elemental materias are good for this.

    It speeds it up by a reported 20% per materia, just as the HQ vs NQ version of the equip would. Ever since the increased base value of materia was implemented some patches ago, melding for binding isn't very cost efficient in most cases.
