Why oh why did they lock housing behind rank 6?

[Vallug]

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?

It is for me and a few friends..and thanks to previous statement I am grinding the FC level like crazy so no worries, it will be mine soon enough.

I am with OP on this, SE should of put that stipulation at the beginning then, not added later, basically screwing everyone else because they couldn't make the gil fast enough.

Though allow everyone else and yeah people who only had a few members also probably did it as well which gives kind of a unfair advantage.

We have housing join our free company, oh you don't have one. no need rank 6, sorry I aint joining.

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?

The third tab, "Expert Delivery", becomes accessable once you reach a certain rank within the Grand Company. There you can give pink, green, and blue items to the GC in exchange for Seals (and FC points).

It'll take about 3 weeks to rank 1-6 if you just do dailies & fates & gc dailies.

If you specifically craft stuff for GC turn-ins, it's easily doable within a day. It took me about 7-8h to 1-6 via GC turn-ins.

Since when is it like this?
Back when we created out two person FC we tried everything to get to rank 6 and it took us almost 3 months.
I know that gear turn-ins know give you FC points (that's why we're rank 8 by now, else we'd still be rank 6 I guess xD) but is it enough to rank up your FC so fast?


And why shouldn't it be ok for an FC of only a few friends to have a house? That's not the same as personal housing for only yourself.
There are still plenty of free plots so it's not like my small FC is kinda "stealing" the plot intended for bigger FCs.

Let's have a crystal ball moment here. I see a future rage thread about how someone lost there FC house because they took a break from the game.
OP... Get some people in your FC. These houses were not meant for personal housing. if nobody uses the house it gets taken back.

if nobody uses the house it gets taken back.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere.

Our small FC (5 members for now ) is almost to rank 6, and got some gil to buy a plot, we will try to get a good spot, but this FC is kind of a meeting point for all members.

Then, with a small garden, getting ready for a chocobo stable, and personal rooms which expands the FC house for everyone.. is there a need for a bigger house?

For us, I don't think so.

And after that, personal houses will come, will be the new trend, so this FC Housing serves as a 'main' point only.

OP keep up the good work, you'll get it.

Here you go ...

is there a need for a bigger house?

Well it depends really - small houses can have only 1 garden patch (medium 2 and large 3), less crafting tables (4 instead of 6 or 8) and other limitiation like this are on the way ...

[GalkaBikini]

I didnt make it..I made about 500k alone..400k from my best friend and 2mil from another friend.

By chance was your friend named "Sfgdfgd Dfgfdgs"?

From what I recall, seems we will be able to craft inside our personal rooms, and then there will be personal houses..

We can come up with the maximum crafting stations a small can afford, and then compensate with our rooms/personal houses.

Just like gardens, with 3 max for large plots, the number of people that want to put seeds in it makes it the same than a small one, the which we'll do rotations.

So far, we are only 2 crafters, so we won't have much problems.

As you said, only time will tell if they will limit. then we will adjust accordingly.
