Where are the hardcoded (non-MB) gold "faucets" in FFXIV?

So from what I'm seeing here... even just owning an apartment is a "blow your fortune that you won't see again for a long time" kind of commitment? That's... I'm sorry but that's dumb.

It also makes my current FC's 3-week inactivity kick look particularly audacious should one buy an FC apartment.

Personally I wouldn't buy a FC room. I think apartments are a much better investment and there was talk about upgrading those to small, medium and large. You can't lose that apartment and there is no activity timer for them like there is for housing. That discussion took place back around 4.2 so it's hard to say if that will even see the light of day.

You don't risk losing an apartment with a FC kick and that's pretty sad if they actually kicked you with an inactivity of only 3 weeks.

Oh I'm absolutely not buying an FC apartment. I expect these guys to kick me shortly after the WoW expansion launches haha!

Not really. By the end of ARR and start of HW you should have around a million gil just from playing the game unless you have squandered it on stuff you don't need. The amount of gil you earn increases over time as you go into higher level content.

Buying a house will be expensive unless you play the market board to build up a fortune, but an apartment is something everyone should be able to afford long before hitting level cap.


Fact is that there are very few things you actually need to spend gil on, so you can save almost all of it.
