Why are houses so expensive :(

[Blackcanary]

Houses are not that expensive, they actually gone down in price a lot. A small house is almost dirt cheap as 3.7 million is very easy to make in the game. If person has crafting/gathering leveled up could make that in a month with little effort or less them a week with effort.

Dirt cheap 3.7 mil that is expensive not dirt cheap and not everyone has the focus to get all garthering/crafting to level 60. My highest crafting is cooking, can't spell the game term for it, and that's only at level 45. Just getting to level 45 was a chore in its self. I made the money I have so far from manly that crafting job. No matter what Small should be free. Why you have to by them makes no sense to me at all.

c'mon it's 'culinarian' -- just a fancy word for cook.

I actually only have the single crafter leveled up (CUL) and specifically avoided most of the 'omni-crafter' focused advice and made my own path. It's surprisingly easy to find niches that are profitable as you're leveling. Try taking a look at the Leves from 10-50 and you might be surprised to see how much money you can make from the turn-in rewards alone, let alone by selling the item rewards you can get. Gathering is the same way, this game has a big trade-off (in my opinion) between really fast but gil-intensive leveling options, and slower casual ones that can end up generating a lot of money in the long term.

just some wandering advice from a fellow cook!

Purely battle class characters can make plenty of money themselves. You are just blind to the avenues available to you, available to everyone is the two free retainers and even as battle classes they can litteraly generate money hand over fist for you without lifting a finger.

Ok so please tell me what's would be the best plan for me I work from 8:45 am till 6pm Monday to Friday. By the time I get home it's like 7:30pm I have to eat dinner of course and I'm so tired from my students I can only play for about 1 hour to maybe 2. Because once it hits 10 I just wanna go to bed. Also keep in mind I some times have to work on Saturdays in Japan school are also opened on Saturdays. Then there is the time difference as well. I'm still playing on a UK server because I'm still learning Japanese. So with all this info what would all suggest would be the best way for me to make Gill with out losing interest and it becoming o feel like a chore. Where I am actually making back money that I might have to spend to buy the items I might need to craft something?

Have you been selling the materia V you can get from turning in mhach matter every week?

How about using your retainers to get stuff?

There is some money to be made in selling certain levequest rewards too.

If you ever decide to pick up gathering, there are lot of things you can get that you can sell for decent money too. I don't know about your server, but I can net ~70-80k just from selling a map each day. It's like 1-2 minutes of effort.

Sorry what's a "map" and I'm on Odien my Botanist is level 16.

I am pretty sure I whined about the cost of housing on the forums two or so years ago as well.

I have no crafts leveled (6 CUL lol) but I finally managed to buy a small plot the other day.

Tank expert roulette everyday for that bonus, solo coils and extreme primals for items to sell, and send your retainers out on quick ventures often for more items to sell. It is going to take a while for the gil (over a year for me) to accumulate but it is not impossible to buy a house with no reliable source of income.
