Yup, and then you deduct the proceeds from the rest of the mats that you get. 25k can be close. But I usually calculate with 30k to decide whether to buy them or make them myself.

By the way, the summoning bell CAN be MUCH better than the bridesmaid stuff. It depends on your server's economy. It can convert to up to 2 Fieldcrafts Demi IIIs and has the same "felt" drop rate as the bridesmaid stuff.
On Shiva, often times, the mat costs plus clusters are cheaper than 6K for one summoning bell.
