  • Pieces per set: 13
  • Total Materia Obtained: 1300
  • Materia V Obtained: 1193
  • Materia VI Obtained: 107
  • Average chance of obtaining VI materia: ~8%
  • Total Molybdenum Ingots Obtained: ~17325

Total Items used:

  • Molybdenum Ores: 69300
  • Cobalt Ores: 17325
  • Ice Crystals: 86625
  • Materia (any): 2854

Average Prices (I bought all these within the last 2.5 weeks to avoid increasing their price to where they are now)

  • Molybdenum Ore: ~285/u
  • Cobalt Ore: ~180/u
  • Ice Crystal: ~80/u

Overall Expenses

  • Cobalt Ore: 3.118.500
  • Ice Crystal: 6.930.000
  • Left Side Gear (6 pieces): 15.500.100 (bought at Local Merchant in The Ala Mhigan Quarter)
  • Right Side Side Gear (5 pieces): 604.000 (gathered all by myself, but considered MB price for raw mats)
  • Tools (2 pieces): 7.948.800 (bought at Local Merchant in The Ala Mhigan Quarter)
  • Materia: 1.912.180
  • Total Expenses: 55.764.080

Overall Gains

  • Molybdenum Ingots: 69.300.000 (averaging 4k/u)
  • Materia V: 70.267.700 (averaging 58.9k/u between all 3 types)
  • Materia VI: 123.906.000 (averaging 1.15m/u between all 3 types)
  • Total Gains: 263.473.700

Total Profit: 207.709.620

Edit: Formatting.

Edit 2: Apparently FC2 Buff and Squadron Spiritbonding Manual do not stack, so using FC3 buff only or the manual only, could yield even better results. thanks u/Petter1789
