An educated rant: Why pentamelding is %@$&*!-backwards

[LauraAdalena]

1. You can have a friend or FC member or even a random person meld you.

2. The current level 90 dungeons drop materia from chests, and while you’re grinding you can spiritbond your gear and when it reaches max extract materia. If you get materia you don’t need you can sell it on the MB and make gil, or take it to just north of BlackBrush and transmute the materia into different kinds. And if you get a DOL/DOH materia make even more gil off of it.

(Other options include: doing content for the “Adventurer in Need” bonus that give cracked clusters, OR doing A-rank and S-Rank hunts.)

Edit: also your comparison is like a drunk person explaining how to make a soufflé when he’s never made one.
