Oh, I don't know, I mean the prices of materials *are* dropping at the MB.

Earlier today, I wanted to make Lv74 tools. One of them was a Lapidary Hammer.

Said hammer requires a Manasilver Nugget. I don't have Manasilver and I wasn't confident in my ability to HQ them.

BUT, I saw 2 of them up for 2,000g each. Heck yeah! 4k gil for a new tool? gimmie!

I've been seeing all kinds of materials in the 70s for <5k per.

Lots of people are crafting now. It's no longer "Only the Rich or Already Established Need Apply".
