If you have alchemist or know someone that can make the ethers for you, the materials for Mega-ethers are relatively easy to get, the hardest ingredient being Black Truffles which are uncommon from Harvesting and rare from killing Boars.
Yes, this is another topic that has been discussed in this thread as well. I have an issue with this, too.

Medicines and such shouldn't be required for the job to do it's job. They should be handy to have and great in an emergency, but not something that you simply cannot do without in order to function. They should make a task easier, rather than making it possible.
