Hope so. Tie it to getting rank 10 or even rank 20.

From what I understand, Black Chocobos =/= Companions (And thus companions can't fly.) We'll probably get a quest to get either a free black chocobo or a free one-person airship (Or both! One might be harder to obtain than the other.)
I won't be able to get Rank 20 until I get my own plot of land, since my current FC does planting too often and I can't cross-breed because of it.
That was my understanding too. It would be a new mount. I hope it's done like you say, as a quest rather than something painful.
They really should have done a planter for the FC room or Inn room. It's freaking weak that they gate so much behind gardening and then made it an FC or personal house only thing.Quote:

here's to hoping that "Condomeniums" have a planter that you can buy (a one-seed planter and a three-seed one for cross-breeding.) And limit the planter placements to FC Rooms and Condos only to disallow Hardcore FCs placing them in their already 3x8 large house plots.
If I remember correctly, they said they would give us a flying mount as we play after expansion, like a new free chocobo (black chocobo I supose) with a quest or something. Then there would be 6 other flying mounts to collect.
You got roluettes, you have treasure maps to sell the materials you find, you got challenge logs; how can you not have a fraction of that amount in a month?
I don't gather maps usually, and I have to solo all my maps, since my FC is usually not on, so I tend not to bother.

Adventurer in Need is 24/7 tank and healer, and I can't really do healer in trial roulette. I don't like big FCs, and will never join one who has 50 players active at once.
Maps are so easy to get on your own. Sell peistskin maps on the market, use the others for your purposes; treasure coffers usually have a piece of gear you could use to spritibind, convert it into materia, then sell that materia. Coffers can also have unhidden leather maps which you can either sell for mad gil or open it and hope the materials are rare and valuable (usually it is so).
And you don't always need the adventurer in need bonus. Just doing the roulettes once a day racks up your default bonuses.
I managed to save up to 5 million gil (with minimal spending) just doing dungeon runs, roulette runs, treasure maps, etc. Yes, it's not fast, but you can still get a ton of change doing the small things once a day. You don't need to be a hardcore crafter or content runner to make millions in a few hours.
I'm honestly expecting the flying mount to be a new mount. If they make any changes to our current mounts, the only thing I could see them doing is making them faster. Something like increasing the run speed from 100% to 150%. Something similar to what WoW did when it upgraded their mounts.
353 gathering is enough to get Grade 3 Thanalan soil, that along with treasure maps, doing Ixal dailies (which are still very profitable for non crafters), gathering clusters or ores and so goes the list...
Honestly, excluding those people with land availability issues, anyone who claims to have no gil for a house is not even trying at all, so many ways to obtain gil without devoting your life to crafting, with very little time investment as long as you don't spend all your earnings right away.
My comment is this, I'd like to see mounts given a "SPRINT" option like the character has. The cool down can be longer but the short burst of speed would help to get to locations a little faster, especially if grinding fates. H
Which is my other comment, can we STOP with so much grinding, you have to grind for everything in the game. Either dungeons or fates, but GRIND GRIND GRIND. I play to relax, but it's getting to the point that I fell I leave work, and come home to work more. The game has lost it's progressive feeling.
I hope our regular companions CAN Fly!! If ANy Chocobo's can, I hope R.30 Companions unlock a "Fly" Command. So Dope. I'm only R. 11 . . . but dayum.
On a side note, whatever happened to barding giving chocobo stats? wasn't this a thing? Now it's just there for looks.
Barding could be obtained that allows companion chocobos the ability to fly.
Might be something cool they could add later, allowing our companions to continue to be useful.
Do I think flight should be locked behind higher chocobo rank? No.
You sure do have a lot of excuses for people trying to help you out. Can't do this... can't do that. You can make what you decide to put into it. Best I've personally made in 7 days is about 2 million gil. I typically stick with trying to make about 15-50k daily though because I usually only put in at most 1-2 hours (if that) into gathering items to sell.
#1 Gather treasure maps daily. Sell.
#2 Retainer quick exploration every hour. Sell. (do some fates to get seals for more ventures or levequests)
#3 Weekly challenge log.
#4 Levequests. Profit.
#5 Gather lumber. Sell.
#6 Get carpenter up to walnut. Make lumber. Sell.
#7 Mine Ore. Sell
#8 Get jeweler up to silver. Make silver ingots. Sell.
#9 play the MB. Buy low, sell high (infrequent but can work)
#A Scour MB for everything under vender value. Purchase, vender.
#B Dungeon runs in between everything else.
#C Dungeon runs for items that sell. ie. bloody knives, fine wax, etc. Sell.
#D ***Make your own spiritbond party***
