That's really hard to imagine. I'm using gamerescape, so the nnumbers might not be right...

Kite Shield = 6 ice shards, 6 earth shards, 1 Iron Ingot, 1 cobalt plate, 3 cobalt rivets... NPC pays 553 gil, 609 for HQ
Cobalt plate = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ingot.
Cobalt ingot = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ore, 2 iron ore (4 needed)
Cobalt rivets = 5 ice shards, 1 cobalt ingot (3 needed)
Iron ingot = 1 ice shard 3 iron ore


Totals: 41 ice shards, 6 earth shards, 4 cobalt ore, 11 iron ore... I can't imagine those materials costing less than 609gil
