Seventy-seven Caravans?

[Anonymoose]

I think the organization is just called "The Seventy-seven Caravans," much like the restaurant is just called "Planet Hollywood," but the one in NYC calls itself "Planet Hollywood New York."

If that's the case, though, calling a single tent your national branch doesn't say much for your enterprise.

It's probably like how 7-11 has nothing to do with 7s or 11s. Discuss.

When they first opened, those were their hours (7am to 11pm).

Actually, if you pay attention to your Craftleves, you'll notice that the vast majority of the higher level ones are issued by The Seventy-Seven Caravans. In fact the main ALC Leve NPC in Ul'Dah is even shouting about the wares which they sell (which is mostly mundane hence why she is not a shop NPC) as she works for them.

From what I gather, there are to very large transport/trade companies in Eorzea, the Black Rabbit Traders which deal mostly with continental import/export (hence why most of the foreign and event stuff comes from them) and the Seventy-Seven Caravans which deal mostly with trade among the three (arguably four but i've seen no proof) city-states.

Also my guess as to why they are named 'seventy-seven caravans' is because they have (or had at the start) seventy-seven caravans, or trade routes, running. Given the fact they are everywhere i'm sure they're above that number right now

Shut up! Get out of here with your "logic" and "evidence"!
