If you cannot afford the best gear and aren't a crafter, maybe a crafter friend could help you gear up at a lower price than the marketboard. You could also try melding materia onto the cheapest lv70 gathering gear to give you leg up in the mean time and see if you can earn gatherer's scrips currency. Avoid referring to collectable rotations written before 2017 since one of the actions had its GP cost and effect increased.
I was told you can only turn in collectibles for scrips 12 times a week? So by that calculation, it makes it seem like the maximum I could get is around 400-500, so it seems like doing that to get a full set would indeed take many weeks. Is that wrong?
