Necessary Free Company Qualty of Life Upgrades

So yes. I like gardening.

Our FC has a designated gardener, who was a regular member at first and for whom we created a special rank so that he could run full-scale crossbreeding projects with no interference. This person later joined the ranks of our leaders.

When chocobo feed was introduced, most of our production shifted towards that. We sold a few stacks of early Krakka Roots on the market board, which allowed us to finance a startup in-company Chocobo feed business that's possible largely because our gardener has complete, unhindered control over the gardens and one item page of the Company Chest to hold the seeds, topsoils and production. We now have a healthy stock of Krakka Roots, which we sell to our members at a discount price (about 2/3rd current market price), as well as a small stock of seeds for high-grade items and chocobo feed.

The discount is very welcome and everyone is allowed to benefit from it, yet while we price our items fairly, we're still able to build a small profit from this commerce, which goes directly to the Company Chest's Gil Coffer and serves to both perpetuate the production of Krakka Roots and finance the production of cross-breeds. We're currently growing high-grade chocobo feed in a cross-breed setup to produce Thavnairian Onion Seeds, the first of which have landed in our chest this morning.

Thavnairian Onions and other high-grade Chocobo feed will also be sold in a similar fashion. We expect to be able to shave off several hundred thousand gil from the current market price of Thavnairian Onions. We are quite proud to be able to offer these to our members at a much more reasonable price

The other patch was filled with Garlic Jesters (which are currently the most expensive Mandragora minions on our server). The minions serve as special prizes for our company events, and a small part of the batch will be sold on the market board to further finance our enterprise.

If we were to use the gardens only for profit by selling everything on the Market Board, we would be denying our members a precious service, forcing them to either live without these items, or pay the full price on the Markets, while giving them no opportunity to use the gardens. On the other hand, if we were to offer the production for free, we would meet some heavy production limitations and would not have the opportunity to expand into more exotic varieties. We feel that our current in-house market has proved to be an appreciable compromise with regards to how we use our gardens and how we distribute our production. Again, this is largely possible because access to some features is restricted in order to optimize the process.

My Fc just recently bought a large house and in doing so our garden expanded, Noticing the increase in volume I'd like to know if it were possible to add a quality of life button for fertilizing the crops all at once instead of one at a time. or being able to macro and use the fertilizer without going through targeting > menu > inventory. We could simply make some kind of feature that would allow it to be more user friendly on repeatedly using the fertilizer. Thank you for any kind of response.

I doubt the idea of selling things to our own members would go over well in our FC.
We are first and foremost a social FC, and I think that providing these things for free adds to that.

But it sounds like it is working well in your case and that is the most important thing.

I wish I knew this 48 hours ago. GM already rejected my item restoration, and there isn't any choco feed that induces vomiting.

Gm rejected my claim as well. So my chocobo is stuck at rank 12 now since I have to wait 5 more days for onions to grow. Takes a lot of work to cross breed those.

Honestly we should get our onions back since its noy our fault our onions didnt work for no reason.

[Amelia_Seyruun]

what if they kick the person on purpose and the person wasted 300k on a private room.

it's why I think whoever buys a private room gets to keep it even if they move to a new free company.

Here here! I say if a person leaves/is removed from a FC they get a 'private chamber voucher' that they can turn in to their new FC's house. Because lets face it 300k is a lot of money for the average player.

As a quality of life adjustment, in patch 2.38 we’ll be making a change so that you will receive a warning message if you try and feed a Thavnairian onion to a chocobo that does not meet the requirements to increase their rank cap.

No mention of this in the patch notes. Has anybody seen if it made it into the patch?

While I don’t have a specific time frame at that moment that I can share with you all, the development team is looking into furnishings that have multiple objects as a set, the addition of more outdoor furnishings, and they will also be looking into increasing the cap on the amount of objects that can be placed.

Additionally, we have some ideas for indoor/outdoor furnishings based on characters from other FINAL FANTASY games. We plan on adding them as we move forward, so please look forward to seeing some familiar looking items.

[Zephyranthes]

Good to hear. 20 outdoor furnishings for a Small house is really insufficient currently.

[Mihana]

*snipped* ... and they will also be looking into increasing the cap on the amount of objects that can be placed.

This is good news indeed! There's not enough space especially in large houses. But to add to the requests, would it be possible to look into the ability to apply wallpaper to partitions as well? Some of the large wall partitions people use to create separate rooms really stand out reminding you they're not actual walls. Be nice if we could decorate these to match the rest of the room. Aside from that, maybe doors we could place/attach to entryways?
