Go to the goblin out in Central Thanalan that teaches you how to meld. He'll take 5 materia, your choice, and turn them into a random new one. Generally the same level as most of what you use, sometimes a step lower, and even more rarely higher. So basically you take all these cheap IV and V elemental or useless stat Materia and try for things you or other people want, like V ranked Crafting/Gathering Materia.

Ooh, nice! Thanks for the advice. May definitely try that out to see if I can get some more crafting materia. Maybe RNG will be nice to me, since I only have my crafters half-way melded, and still a ways off from the new 4-star stuff.
