For the stage of the Relic weapon quest where one has to double meld materia onto the class weapons why doesn't square offer the weapons and materia for sale from an NPC? I feel like this would be a good way to remove gil from the system and even the playing field for newer members.

I know there are possible problems such as people undercutting those prices on the wards, or preying on ignorance of new players who might not know those items are available for sale from an npc, and the aspect of a time sink that would be partially removed from the game.

I am by no means a player that does not have a large amount of gil, so please do not take this as me complaining about the system that we currently have.

What do the rest of you think?
