Why oh why did they lock housing behind rank 6?

Though I'm sure you have the support of all the gil buyers who simply have no time to earn their stuff.

It's going to take a little bit longer (and cost a wee bit more) now that they've adjusted the HQ point rate with 2.28, but it should still be doable in about 12-14h.
If you're at the point you can make 3m in 2 days, you've nothing to worry about.

What do you mean GC turn-ins? The Supply and Provisioning turn-ins? I thought you only get 1 of those for each craft and gathering class per day?

I just turned in SO MUCH gear and got 1 FC rank. I was amazed. I havent tried the other two tabs for materials..but I can see the gear being super useful.

Tip: everything gives you more FC points when you're the only one online. Do high level dungeons and greed roll everything, store doubles in retainers etc. When you're the only person left online in the FC, turn in everything for GC seals. i70 stuff gives 105 FC points per if you're alone.

You can easily powerlevel your FC if all your members work together like this.

You're rude and wrong.

Here you have someone from a 4ppl FC that brought a house on a good spot when most of those "proper" FCs couldn't even afford a ugly plot.

Don't let ppl like these get you down Vallug.

Also crafting HQs helps, use auto craft to make shit while you're afk.

I have no issue with the OP as I'm sure they'll expand their FC going forward. I do take issue with the solo FC people though. The ability to powerlevel an FC is an oversight on the devs' part. Getting more points if you're the only one online makes no sense. I wonder how many people need to be online before multiple people turning in is better.

I'd like to add that, I started a 4-man FC 2 and a half weeks ago. We hit the 17mil mark (we had 3mil when we started) and hit rank 6 last night with one of our members inactive and the other being on vacation for the last 2 weeks. We did it with just two people. It's easily do-able. And yes, we're saving for a medium sized plot, have fun with your cottage, Ooshima.

So, rock on, OP! You can do it. :]

Thanks for all the support~

FC housing was not intended as a stand in for personal housing. Yes, you can work around it so it can be your personal housing... but that isn't the intent.

Sorry. :(

Maybe wait for personal housing?
