Seems I've completely forgotten how to PvP since taking a break from the game. Won't stop me from dragging down anyone unlucky enough to get matched with me.

Mostly. I think you will just fill any sort of queue required. Pretty much everything but savage stuff and coils as far as I know. I don't think it necessarily matches with sprouts.

yeah it is just queue filler roulette, nothing to do with needing a sprout in the group. it can give you anything besides savages, coils and current expansion extremes.

Is low-grade crafter materia used for anything of note?

crafting/gathering gear often use lower tier melds but you can also usually just use a higher tier one and overcap if you dont care.

Usually for final melds on accessories where you'd otherwise overcap a stat, or for budget melds. MH/OH melds for anyone other than crafting millionaires this tier is 6x Command IV's, since you otherwise gotta burn a huge hole in your pocket to omnicraft.

Specifically it tends to be useful for CP melds, since it often has very low caps and is generally much more valuable than the other two stats once the recipe thresholds are met. Lower level materia have higher chances to successfully overmeld and can be cheaper, so if you can use it you do. Sometimes specific low level materia will be ridiculously expensive, typically when the teamcraft meld guide recommends a lower level Cunning somewhere, and you end up better off melding something higher level at worse odds. For example, on Omega you currently need to pay 3x as much for a Cunning V or VII as you do for a Cunning IX.

Also you generally meld 10s in your guaranteed slots and probably 8s in your first overmeld even on "budget" sets. I did not do the budget set so I think my total meld cost for my crafter gear this tier was around 20M, but I was uncommonly unlucky with the overmelds. It's taken me several days to make it back, since I was traveling for the first 4 days of the patch so I couldn't partake in the really profitable part. Omnicrafting: a little expensive to set up, but makes decent cash.

Yeah, that's the MH/OH setup: Control X, any CP that'll cap it, and then 3x Control IV's to finish it off. The Craftsmanship requirements from Teamcraft are bang-on accurate (3722 gets you exactly to max Progress with a standard rotation) and easily achievable with budget melds, so it's mostly a matter of how much cash you wanna burn on Control IX's.

Tbh youd probably get more money out of materia by crafting 10 collectables and using the scrip for Cunning VIIs than you ever would out of ehcatl spiritbonding.

The level 16 quests are one IV materia and 2 Oaknots and are (reasonably) fast to do, so they're a good option if you want a bunch of IV and under materia with little effort every day. The only part that's bad about them is the annoyance of carrying around the gloves and a separate gearset for them, but it's a minor quibble.

Melding anything more than guarantueed slots and cheap cp melds to cap on tools sucks, and even that’s pretty annoying compared to just capping CP on them

I kinda wish I could form/join a static to do endgame content, but I can't really stay on a schedule between medical stuff, Japanese classes and my living arrangements. Cause sometimes it feels like it's random which evenings I'd have available save for the classes which are always twice a week. And also that Yoshi-P lately keeps putting content patches when I'm out on vacation.

They can "evade your trap while remaining blissfully unaware of your presence" as you huck large sleep bombs at them, in which case they don't despawn and you can try again.

Alert: bad post spotted.
I had a goobbue take 27 lures. 17 on the first attempt, which it de-spawned as i had to go make more.

Also call me a dummy but do XIV players tend over-complicate things? I did a little smidge of mythic raiding in WoW, but I feel like I never had to pore arcane strategies like 'mario kart' or whatever this thing means:

utterly indecipherable. they have played us for absolute fools.

What happens if your pasture is full and you try to capture something? Does it just not let you or does it ask you to release something after capturing?

I've been leaving a slot open just in case I see something I want to grab while out gathering.

It'll let you pick one to release to replace them (or you can just release the animal you tried to catch)
