The materia quests come with crafting, however, there is little point in doing it at lower levels. Dungeons drop gear that is generally as good as you can materia and you will go through gear so fast that its hardly worth sinking the money into it. Melded gear is very good at cap levels depending on the job, but at low levels its lack luster. Materia itself comes from spiritbinding 100% to gear then converting it into materia. There is a quest in central thanalan in the north east corner where there are some goblins. Pugilist actually gets second wind and featherfoot which are both very good defensive skills, but subbing something like cure as a cross class is usually not worth it since you won't have a high enough mind to make the heal big enough.
