"Housing is Pain", or "Why We Can't Have Nice (Instanced) Things"

Most people with houses don't do crossbreeding. It's just too..., complicated. :')
Most do when they have their house 'new'. And then never touch this again. xD

(same for the higher buffs)

This is not actually entirely true, in my experience. I'm sure it's true for some folks, yes!

But my FC often has a Thavnairian Onion loop going in one stage or another, because we keep the FC chest stocked for newcomers who are leveling their chocobos. I also spent the better part of a year gathering the materials (via submersible) to stockpile the Grade 3 company buffs for XP and reduced teleport costs, as well as charging them up ahead of time. We were thus able to have chonky buffs up constantly for quite a while when Endwalker launched (month and a half or so, I think it was). And I know of at least three other FCs who did the same sort of buff stocking, albeit in less obscene quantities than I aimed for.

(I grant I won't bother with the grade 3 buffs again until like... probably somewhere in patch 6.3, but once we're there I'm absolutely going to start that long project once more, to prep stockpiles for whatever 7.0 might be.)

And I know quite a few people who enjoy the gardening system and tinker with it. The "tenant" slots on my house are actually all used up by friends who do not have a house and like to play with gardening; I just use the FC plots for my own gardening projects (as they're basically always on behalf of the FC), and let the friends in question use my yard for theirs.
