I just feel like there's too much to take in. It's not easy juggling all these materials needed, all the gathering and then making good enough collectables to cap.

I'm really starting to feel totally out of my depth with this game now.
Firstly, where did you try to acquire your mats? You do know the LTW Guild Supplier and your FC house vendor sells VERY cheap mats right? I hope you're not buying anything from the MB.

Secondly, how the heck would you have money to meld materia if you don't even have money to get mats for crafting? It makes no sense to me... You supposed to be selling HQ crafted items to earn gils for materia, and melding materia should be the very last luxury thing to do.

Leveling LTW supposed to EARN you gil, not deplete your gil.
