Novus Zodiac Weapons/Quest Problems

[azura84]

Currently the game is progressing apace and this also includes the amount of time spent using lower level equipment (if at all, Palace of the Deep has made equipping our characters for leveling virtually moot from level 1 to 60 since its release). This has made the stock of low tier materia, particularly tier 1 materia, extremely scarce. Thus the quests for previous relics (albeit item level relevance has diminished) is obscenely pricey on low volume server market boards and I'm willing to bet buying T1 materia on high volume is going up as well but I can't testify to that. As it is my wife and I could barely finish our relics with just the number of materia on the MB and it cost me nearly 2mil gil to do so.

My proposal to development: find a balanced way of selling at least T1 and T2 materia via vendors, put them in beast tribe vendors or make them available by gil.

It could also be done by equipping low level gear and going out to spiritbond them, I am aware, but this is seriously dated content and this material is used for virtually nothing else, there really isn't a reason they can't be on vendor supply by now.

It seems like this isn't in line with their goals of making past relic quests easier. I hope they fix it through a vendor, like you mentioned, or some other way besides spiritbonding junk gear.
