Well, with my version of "properly managed" it doesn't net anything. (Though I guess technically that meets your standards, since 750k * 0 deluxe plots = 0.) I do have a medium plot, and I've enjoyed growing some Krakka Roots for my chocobo, but I've never sold anything I've grown and have no plans to do so. Nor do I generally gather or craft items to sell, though I enjoy both gathering and crafting. I gather, craft, and grow stuff I want myself. Market Board selling is for times a quest or leve rewards an item I don't want and I want a place to dump the junk where it might be useful to someone.


The primary purpose of a personal house is to have a place to decorate and hang out at. If you're into role-playing, it serves as your character's home base, allowing your character to actually settle in Eorzea rather than just living out of a hotel while visiting there. Even those not interested in role-playing can enjoy the aesthetics of decorating the place as they like, in much the same way people enjoy finding outfits to glamour, making their character look as they'd like.

The primary purpose of an FC house is a place for the members to gather and socialize.

A secondary purpose of housing (personal or FC) is to have a stable where you can train your chocobo and a garden to support that training.

Earning gil by growing excess items to sell is at best a tertiary function of housing, and not one you should expect everyone to be taking part in.
