Should I keep upgrading my tools?

I found only one buff from Lucis - it allows to use 4hit progress sequence for 3/4 star crafts.
Obtaining Lucis is hard. I switched between chockers rods and duckbills (a lot of woolen cloth drops from fc3 desynth) and don't know what is the best. Rods gives 4 moonstones/72 min, 3 chokobo calls (90 min) gives 1 stack of hippo skin and 1 stack of raptor sinew. Ixali quests are very slow, maps are very random and slow too.

I'm sorry but I have to lol, as I completely disagree. Obtaining the Lucis tools are time consuming, which doesn't equate to being hard. Also where I may have spent 3-5M/job getting supras and artisan's OH I only spent about 1-2M over every job getting Lucis (I only fasttracked about 60 moonstones, the rest i just farmed on dailies and maps). The only reason I would suggest getting them at this point is that we don't know if they will be further upgradable at 3.0. I remember reading Yoshi-P stating that if you had a fully upgraded Zeta or Lucis you would get some sort of reward with the new relic/tools for having them. Now obviously this could change or not be true, but I would assume that at 60 Lucis tools will still have their uses. As they stand now, they aren't needed for 4 star, they only help slightly.

Do what any crafter worth their salt does.. Throw money at your problem and make it go away..

On my server, it's about 3-4k per militia choker. that's like ~20k per moonstone in gil..

I already have 10/11 Lucis tools. fisher waits ). As i remember, to get all 220 moonstones and 660 math items it is nesessary to buy >16 stacks of skins and the same amount of sinew. And >12k of crystals. Such massive purchaces quickly kills market positions. With rods i saw in my world a little another situation. There are 3 gathered components. In most cases i saw that 2/3 are sold at asseptable price level and one - at unacceptable.
