Black Fox Consortium - Welcomes new and old players. (A UK/EU casual-hardcore FC)

http://file3.guildlaunch.net/366273/Crest-banner.png

After a short hiatus, BFCon is back and recruiting. We are a small and friendly FC (capping our membership in the 20s) which has been around in one form or another since the beta of Final Fantasy 14 and originated way back in Final Fantasy 11. We are a mid-core group focused on camaraderie in the sense of helping each other out and having a good laugh while kicking back and playing the game. However, that doesn't mean we don't like to work hard to get content cleared while balancing life outside the game.

Our ideal new members will be patient, hardworking with a great sense of humour who love a good laugh but are focused enough able to commit to the FC and each other. They should have a willingness to learn and a can-do attitude.

We currently have openings within all sections of our group, ranging from "FC fool" to "overly annoying super chatty member", from "mega helpful member" to "brooding emo loner" (we have to constantly refill this spot as they keep leaving...), from "know nothing about the game noob player" to "done most things, but still love the game player".

...If you think you can find your niche within our FC, then read on.

What we offer?

• Organised very experienced leadership
• Extremely friendly and mature experienced players
• Banter and chatter in relaxed atmosphere
• GMT based (most are in the UK)
• Discord Server
• Rank 8 FC with buffs available
• Large house in the Lavender Beds
• Four max rank airships

What do we want?

• Dedicated, loyal players who want to grow with us and the game
• Players without attitude
• Players who want to give as much help to others in the guild as we want to give them

What we don't want...

• Elitists
• Drama Llamas
• Whiners
• "Me! Me! Me!" people.

How can you join us?

Easy!

Applicants should include the following: CV, 5000 word essay on why they want to join us, passport details, fingerprints/DNA sample, photo ID, proof of address, 30 min powerpoint presentation on game strategies and correct online etiquette. Also included should be their family secret recipe for either chocolate cake, cheesecake or cookies.

Alternatively, you can fill out an app at our website. This website isnt used very often now due to the use of discord, but will give you an idea of what we are about.

I wanted to add a note to say that unfortunately we are no longer able to accept Whitemages. However, all other jobs are still welcome :)

We are currently about 20 strong, but still looking for just a few more (no more than 10) before we close recruitment.

The FC has grown with very lovely people, both with returning players and new players to the game. Sadly, we must focus more towards DPS players now in our growth as we have almost reached our 30 man cap. If you are looking for a truly friendly FC, one that will take the time to help you when you need it, then give us a looksie. If you have any questions feel free to post questions, poke around our website, or even contact us in game.

Cheers!

Hi again.

Our recruitment was closed for a while and we'd like to apologise to those who tried to apply while we didn't have enough spots for you all, but we are now opening our doors once more to a very small amount of new members. If you'd like to part of our very friendly, helpful and active Free Company you can apply directly on our website. Spots are limited, as we don't really want to go above 30-35 members, so act fast :)

Hi, do you have people doing coil 6-9? I'm a 109WAR, 106PLD, 103BLM looking for a new group to do it with.

Although we do intend to get some raid groups going in the future, we are still helping our members up through the levels, doing relics and story dungeons and generally getting gear. We aren't planning on any serious "raiding", nothing like mandatory nights or set groups for a while. You are probably looking for a more hardcore than we are :)

Shame not recruiting, I'm trying to find a home for myself and two friends.

But we are recruiting now, for a limited time :)

oh sorry I thought your last post said recruitment was closed ;) I'll go nose at your website some more then.

-Edit: Done :)

Long time no bump!

Hi everyone.
Just wanted to pop on and say that our recruitment is currently open and we are looking for a few good guys and gals to make up our numbers. We are looking for friendly, helpful and active players who are interested in working through and learning content as a group. We run regular events - coil, primals etc - so why not drop on by our site and check us out.

Spots are limited as we would like to stay a small, tight knit FC (quality over quantity and all that).

Still recruiting 1 or 2 more. Why not drop by our site and give us a look over if you are looking for an active, friendly and small FC.

Hi my boyfriend and I are looking for a good home. He's a returning player and I'm brand new. If you could take us both that'd be great! I was wondering who we could talk to in game to get an invite?

We'll shoot you a /tell :)

Hi folks,
I have just been reading your recruitment thread and your FC sounds like a nice place. I am returning after about a 6 month interval. I am a part-time student full-time worker and had a few other things to take care of, but am now looking to play again.

Last time I played was when turn two was in full swing, so I am sure a lot has changed.
I like the sound of your playing ethos and would gladly join if you'll have me, cheers.

Orveth

hey guys u still requite ?

Thanks for all the interest.
We have now closed recruiting again so we don't get too big. However, we always hold a few spot open for emergencies, so if you would like to chat about taking a spot contact either myself (Kaliska Rhele) or Vackashken Zuth in game for a chat.

Take care all, until we open again.

Hello again.
The the patch fresh and the expansion looming we have opened our doors once again to a few players.
Over the past 6 months we have made quite a bit of progress, have 2 raid groups, one on T12 (static), one just cleared T9 (flexible). We have cleared all primal Extremes and are looking forward to beating final coil and heading into the expansion to challenege all the content together.

We are looking for a few active players who are helpful and willing to get involved with all our Free company has to offer. We need people who are committed, but not crazy hardcore about raiding (we don't raid 5 times a week, but we do like to work hard to get content clear), but in saying that, we aren't looking for people who only turn to raid and do nothing else with us. After all we are a close knit group of friends, who enjoying playing the game together, chatting on TS and having fun. If you can't laugh it off when we wipe for a 4th, 5th or 6th time and you are likely to enter enrage, then please don't apply. A sense of humour is a must, as rules such as "picture thread of shame" and "pink hair" (for dying) are often applied during raids.

As we intend to stay small, we will closing recruitent again when we reach 40 members, as we feel that anymore and people will start to feel like a number rather than a memeber of a team.

So if you think you might like tocome and join us, drop us an app at our site, or send Vackashken Zuth, myself (Kaliska Rhele), Luna Lumie or Ryain Fyr a /tell in game.

Friendly bump:

Thank you for all the interest we have gotten - there are only a handful of spots left now. We're looking for people to fill in last raid spots if you're interested (but not exclusively). If raiding is new to you, that isn't a problem. We don't bite your head off for mistakes or not knowing how something works/are new to the fight. We will help you grow into these kinds of things with little, to hopefully, no stress and have a laugh along the way. :)

We are currently looking specifically for a PLD and SCH to join our 3rd Raid group. (Groups 1 and 2 are both in Final Coil.) Raid experience is not essential, but a no rage, can do, work hard and stick at it attitude absolutely is.

Hello, I'm a 112 Scholar on t10 at the moment looking to move servers and get raiding. While I do main BLM as my DPS I started out as a Scholar and am very exp'd on the class. I would be happy to join the 3rd raid groups as their new scholar.

Available to raid most nights except some Friday/Saturdays, but I'd let you guys know in advance.
I do have TS if needed.

I have put in an application at your forums, but if I fit the criteria that you're looking for please get back to me here and I'll look into moving asap.

Thanks for reading. :)

Friendly bump.

Were still looking for a handful of members to venture into 3.0 and beyond with! If you applied before, but were sadly turned away (because we met our 40 man limit cap), please feel free to re-apply. We have a handful of spaces left and application are looking for a few people. We're not looking for numbers here but people who want to progress, but progress as friends and have a laugh along the way.

Any questions? Please ask here or send myself or Vackashken Zuth a tell!

Happy hunting!

Hi there! I'm a PLD looking for an EU server to transfer to after a 2-month break from the game. Not the most experienced (i123, highest turn cleared T6) but definitely willing to work hard, without rage and maybe in an unconventional way. Are you guys still looking for a PLD?

We are, if you would like to talk to us, ask anything or see if you think you would fit before transfering, please feel free to make a character on Cerb and catch us when we are on (Kaliska Rhele or Vackashken Zuth), we'll be happy to answer anything. For applications you can check out our website - clicky.

Just a quick update. The healer spot is now filled, but we are now looking for an active, but nice and friendly (read: no elite attitude) TANK (WAR). We are looking to fill the spot with a helpful and active player who will become a long term member of the FC, not just a raider number.

So with the rush of the expansion come and gone and players having settled down, we are back to recruiting to fill our missing raid spots. We are currently looking to fill 3 spots over 2 groups.

• The first spot is in an already establish team.
• Before the expansion they had cleared all content up to T13.
• They are ready to get raiding and are looking for an WHM.

Next up we have our newly forming team.

• This team has not started raiding yet and is forming to tackle the Heavensward content
• They are looking for 2 DPS (One BRD or MCN) and one other (not BLM)
• They also require a healer (preferably a SCH or AST)

If you read our OP, you will see that we are a small and tightknit FC who value players over experience. Having the right kind of helpful attitude is far more important than previously raiding experience, but a no-whine/rage quit/I give up attitude is a must. We'd like to ask that players considering joining are at least geared to a standard that will allow them to start raiding as soon as possible.

You can apply direct at our website by clicking the "join community" button on the top left of the page. Or if you have futher questions, please feel free to contact either myself (Kaliska Rhele) or Vackashken Zuth in game.

So a little update once again :)

After a slight shuffle of jobs after the expansion hit, we are currently looking for brave souls to join our humble FC and its raid groups. We are semi-hardcare/casual - meaning that we like to play hard when we can, but don't enforce a strict "you must raid 5 days a week" kind of attitude. We are a friendly folk, helpful and chatty (read: banter), who not only raid together, but help eachother out with leveling, PVP, primals, story...well pretty much everything.

So what are we currently looking for?
That's simply...2 Casters (1 SMN and 1 SMN/BLM) and a SCH to finish off our raid teams. Normally raiding 2-3 nights a week and use TS. While experience is nice, it is not required as we value the plater as a person rather than a job, so as long as you are willing to learn, gear up and try your best, you'll fit right in.

You can apply direct at our website by clicking the "join community" button on the top left of the page. Or if you have futher questions, please feel free to contact either myself (Kaliska Rhele) or Vackashken Zuth in game.

We have recently filled the SMN spot and are now only looking for a Caster (SMN or BLM) and a SCH (or AST).

Still looking for a few souls, brave and true.
We like to keep at a max of about 40 members, so have a few of spots open. We are running all the content in the game and have 4 Rank 50 airships with HM Diadem unlocked.

If you are looking for a small, friendly, active FC and have a can-do, non-elitist, fun loving attitude then why not drop by and submit an application on our site. We look forward to hearing from you!

We are back and recruiting again for our FC!

I have updated OP to reflect our current status. If you have any questions or would like more info, please contact myself (Kaliska Rhele) or Vackashken Zuth in game.

Look forward to hearing from you, see you in game and Happy Hunting!

Just giving this a gentle nudge. We are slowing growing and have some awesome players now, why not join us :)

We have a handful of spaces left for gregarious people - right now in particular we are looking for a drg for a last raid spot. If you are interested and would like more detail on that spot in particular, please come find us in game and have a chat. Relevent information in on the front page of this post :)

Hello everyone - just a small update and bump. We have a handful of spots that have opened up on our self-imposed 30 member limit. As usual we are seeking very friendly people who want to give as much as they get. Please refer to the first post of this thread for details. :)

Right now we are looking for a Dragoon to fill in raid team 1s roster, Team SASS. Savage experience is not necessary, we'd prefer you grow with us to be honest since we tend to keep members for years at a time. A very flexible schedule is a must when it comes to days and we tend to start at 8:15 server time. If you want to be part of a group that doesn't disband every couple months and truly looks to be friends, please strongly consider us. Any questions please post here or we can set up a time to speak on discord to hammer out details.

Thanks!

Well, it's been a long time since we have actively recruited, but here we are again.

We are currently looking for a few souls to join our small and active FC. We still pride ourselves on being friendly and helpful, running all types of content for our members in a supportive atmosphere. We also have a discord server which is frequently used.

We aim to be as drama free as possible and tend to recruit people based on personality rather than skill or experience. We believe that you can teach a "bad" player to be a great player, but you can never turn an elitist idiot into a good person.

Anyone interested in joining us should contact one of the following people for more information:
Kaliska Rhele
Vackashken Zuth
Moshi Stormborn
Saishen Fuma
Kerrath Vahl

Still a handful of spots left, please feel free to enquire.

2 spaces left :) Questions? Send a /tell or ask here!
