    It's faster (and cheaper) than the other available options, to be honest. The massive HP increase of everything in HW, the far more spread-out nature of world mobs, and the lack of a Castrum Meridianum equivalent means that it's a long, dull grind to spiritbond even a single piece of gear. The cost is also a major concern, unless the drop rate for IVs on 51+ gear is somehow massively increased over the base 45+ gear. I can get a full set of the crafting stuff from Mor Dhona and slam out a fully spiritbound left-side in less than 30 minutes over at the Castrum by Wineport (Meteor Survivor Rings + Potion, but no cheap materia melds) and will always, at the very least, equal the replacement cost of the gear after selling the materia (with an average of about 1 IV for every full spiritbond run). The same can't be said for HW binding, especially if you're trying to spiritbond DoM/DoW stuff.
