Why are houses so expensive :(

[Masekase_Hurricane]

I mainly sell grade matters and glamor prisms. Have around 25 mil atm. Just have to save and not spend.

Sometimes I think I find myself looking for ways to spend my gil more than ways to earn it.

Man... I have 21 mil and I don't even craft beyond my raid food. This game throws ducets at ya. And that's all with a costly minion addiction.

I didn't think the small house pricing was high at all. People complaining about the price seem to forget that everyone knew housing was going to be avalible this patch since patch 3.1

To the OP, There are comparable spaces to xi's inn already in place. You get your own inn room for free. Granted you can't modify the furniture therein, but there are also free company rooms you can buy for only 300k. If that's not enough, the apartments they plan on adding in the future should accommodate better. If you want the works, a ward home, well that'll cost a little more but that's the nature of the beast.

I don't blame TC. This game provides ways to make Gil but not everyone knows about. And people who know it don't want to tell the others (happen in every MMO, I think).

I'm on the Odin sever a lot of stuff is over priced like a level sword for glad is 18k on are server lol. So I'm really careful with my money. I have never been able to hit 1 mil.

I spend alot of money on stuff that I can't gather for cooking since my BST is only level 16.

From what I gather from your posts, this is the real problem right here. You are spending excessively/unnecessarily. I had 1.8 million by the time I leveled my first class to mid-50s (NIN), doing MSQ and daily roulettes, without grinding/crafting.

I penny-pinched. Sold everything I could on MB, vendored all junk drops, rode the chocobo porter, and most importantly, did not buy anything I didn't have to. That is being careful with your money.

Real-life money management principles apply in-game as well. You need to determine your goal. Why are you spending time and gil on cooking? If your goal is to save 4 million for a house+permit, you should be leveling a gatherer, not a crafter. Buying mats to craft with is not saving - at best it's investment/speculation. At worst it's just throwing away money (if you don't intend to use your CUL to make money in the future).

It's much better to just level BTN or MIN and sell the mats. It might not feel like much, but it adds up. Oh by the way, have you checked your retainer for gil? If not, you may have a good chunk of change there.

You mentioned not having much time. That's fine too. As others have mentioned, you make a lot of money simply through leveling to 60, completing the MSQ, and selling every quest reward you don't need - no crafting/gathering required. At level cap, daily roulette/quest rewards also add up. The bottom line is this: You're spending too much. Stop spending unnecessarily and your money will increase as you run content.

Shame you not on Ragnarok server I would take you in our Fc and show you how to make gil without crafts/gather. Then use that gil to focus on crafts/gather to increase your funds.

That would be amazing thank you for the other though.
