2480 Crafting?

[Tlamila]

overmelding VII to everything is also a overkill, my melds for clothing are normally 2xVIII/1xVI/1xVII/1xV and for accessories I use IV and III for the last 2 slots and for tools I overmeld 2 low level CP materia to cap it and nothing else.

That is more than enough for the current expert recipes, in fact I feel like I am overgeared for them.

It's actually easier to get VII, since now you even get it from your own gear, than older ones, and older ones are just as expensive or more.

I just checked the prices and they are not normal currently, seems like crafting pvp made people buy all the V materia and they are really expensive now while VII and VIII are cheaper than ever but all other materias are still way more cheap, I have been buying dirt cheap V and VI materia for a long time so I have lots of them and thousands of lower tier materia too from previous expansions.
