    I highly recommend to combine this with the Materia Mastermind and/or level 99 achievements.

    In my opinion, the easiest and fastest way to obtain this is defeating the Magic Pot in the Northern Crater. You have to feed him an Elixir and then defeat him for a whooping 8000XP and 1000AP. Sometimes they come in two.

    Fill all slots of all characters with an "All" Materia. You can buy ALL Materia in Fort Condor for 20.000 GIL each.

    You need 8 slots in your weapon and 8 slots in your armor for the best outcome in my opinion.

    There are also double AP weapons with up to 4 slots for every character and also one triple AP weapon for Cloud and for Cid but they have only 2/3 slots. There are no armors with triple AP and only 2 and 4 slot Double AP armors.

    Clouds Apocalypse can hold 3 Materias and have Triple AP.
    Cids Scimitar can hold 2 Materias and have Triple AP.

    You can use what ever weapon and armor you like. I preferred to use the 8 slot weapons and armors.

    In Mideel you can buy Wizard Bracelets they cost 12.000Gil each and have 8 slots.

    8 slots weapons for all characters:

    Cloud: Enhance Sword can be bought in Junon for 12.000Gil.

    Barret: Solid bazooka can be bought in Costa del Sol for 16.000Gil.

    Tifa: Kaiser knuckle can be bought in Junon for 15.000Gil.

    Red XIII: Centclip can be bought in Costa del Sol for 14.000Gil.

    Yuffie: Spiral shuriken can be bought in Costa del Sol for 14.000Gil

    Caith This: Gold m.phone can be bought in Costa del Sol for 15.000Gil.

    Vincent: Long barrel R can be bought in Costa del Sol for 13.000Gil.

    And for Cid: Dragoon Lance this weapon can also be bought in Junon for 6200Gil.

    If you choose Cloud, Barret and Cid, like me, a full gear set with 16 slots in total cost 70200Gil. If you have not that much money just duplicate the Ether item up to 99 and sell them for 750 each for a total of 74250Gil. If you don't have Ether, buy them for 1500Gil each and duplicate them then.

    If you start from scratch, you need to master 72 "All" Materias. If you dont have any "All" Materias to start with, they can be bought in Fort Condor for 20.000Gil each.

    A Mastered All Materia can be sold for 1.400.000 Gil, it is the highest selling price in the game.

    The optimal way in my opinion is to give every character only "All" Materias in every weapon and armor slot. This nets you a total of up to 48 and needs a full growth circle of two to four full Mastered Materias for all 3 characters.

    After mastering a Materia they "Reborn". This will give you a new Level 1 Materia for free. All Materias need 35.000AP to Master.

    To get an optimal outcome you also need the W-Item Materia you can found this in the Sector 8 Tunnel raid "on Disc 2". You have to go the tunnel all the way to the south even if characters say this is wrong. Alternative you can dig this later out in Bone Village. You can duplicate as many Elixir as you like, if you have a minimum of two. With W-Item equipped take one Elixir. Take another and with cn_A and push cn_B to "stop" using it push cn_A again and cn_B again and so on. Every time you duplicate one up to 99.

    Here is now a video solution for where to fight and how to set up the Elixirs.

    Level 4 Limits are not needed and i highly recommend not to fight alone

    My Toxic Frog 2To add to the above, the Comet materia also sells for 1,400,000 Gil and can be mastered/re-born quicker than the all materia.

    TVthePunisher@My Toxic Frog 2 - While it may sell for the same...to say it can be mastered/re-reborn quicker is inaccurate. A couple factors:

    1 - you can buy All Materia...which means you can already have multiple slotted in weapons/armor across 3 characters. Comet cannot be bought, only found...and that one has to be reborn to get more. You're spending significantly more time with rebirthing a Comet over and over to get an extra one.
    2 - It is NOT quicker to rebirth. Comet requires 72,000 AP to master. All only requires 60,500. That's an 11,500 difference...couple that with what I mentioned in step 1 it's just not worth going down this path.

    I mean it's a neat suggestion that it sells for 1.4mil but just because something does sell for that much doesn't make it a viable time-saving solution...both because it cannot be bought and it technically takes longer to master each one. In the time that you master 1 to rebirth another (to then go and master that one) you could have mastered 48 All Materia as this guide suggested with 48 more having been reborn. That's over halfway there to getting the Gil you need for this achievement...meanwhile the time you take to master just one comet at a time is so many times longer.

    This is best done in the northen crater at the end of the game, you will need the W-item materia to duplicate items (look up the dup trick for details) which is found on the train tracks during the midgar raid just follow the tracks all the way south, and at least 1 elixir.

    If you missed the W-Item materia during the raid it can be dug up at bone village.

    Double and triple growth weapons are not needed but will definitely make this go by faster, the 2 triple growth weapons are clouds apocalypse found in the ancient forest and Cid's scimitar found in the underground reactor in junon this weapon is missable, by this point you should have plenty of double growth weapons so I'm not going to list them all.

    The double growth armlet called rune armlet can be purchased at bone village.

    Now make your way to fort condor and purchase 24 ALL materias which sell for 1.4 million Gil once mastered.

    Once you have the weapons and armor and all materias continue into the northen cave until you get to the point where the party will split up, choose the left path for at least the 3 characters you're planning on using.
    On the next screen you will split up again choose the up path for at least the 3 characters you're planning on using.

    Now you should be at a swamp like area, in this area equip as many ALLs as you can (with double growth W&A it should be 8 per character) now run around until you run into a monster called the magic pot which you must feed an elixir before you can kill it, each one will net you 8000 EXP and 1000 AP making it the best place to master materia and also to reach level 99.
    Once you master an ALL materia don't forget to remove it and equip the new one that was born from the one you just mastered

    You will need to Master 72 ALL materias to reach 100 million gil
