Heheh. So true! I actually spent millions and countless items and time trying to get it in 1.0 - I had the worst luck!

First thing I did in 2.0 was go get my Materia Certification and boom about 5 minutes later I had my crown. Took me longer to figure out where to actually pick it up than to do the melding!!
