Recommended melds
Filling all 16 sockets with Craftsman's Competence Materia XII costs 59,840 gil on Mana.

| Earrings | 1 | 3,740 |
| Off hand | 1 | 3,740 |

Every socket is costed with the same materia, which is the simple reading. Substats are capped per piece and overmeld success rates fall off, so a serious melding plan splits stats across sockets — treat this as the ceiling on cost, not as optimal play.
Methodology
Crafter and gatherer sets are ranked by item level, then by Craftsmanship, Control and CP (or Gathering, Perception and GP). Real crafting gear is chosen to hit specific stat thresholds for a given recipe, so treat this as a starting point and a cost estimate rather than a target set.
Stat weights used: Craftsmanship 1, Control 0.9, CP 0.85.
