We need more ways to make gold in this game.

That 2k wouldn't cover the repairs it would take for me to get your mats for you xD

I didnt even say what the mats were, thats some strong assumptions. In this specific case it takes 8 monster drops (which are 35-40 and can be farmed in sacrifice gear to make materia and not bother repairing as much, also cheaper to repair. This should take around 16-24 kills). 3 ore which is 3 hits from a vein. 4 synths. And 50 something shards. Note that most of the time the leve replaces 6 of the 8 market cheaper monster drops as part of the reward.

Some high level leves are easier than this, like 5 synths 15 logs 25 shard for a 5 lumber turnin with same gil reward but different item reward.

Ps. All shards are lv1 and can be gotten naked with the lv1 tool so in terms of repair cost these should be ignored.
