Thanks to everybody who replied. I replied very late but I did read everything not long after most were posted.


@Scottdoom - I still haven't gotten around to checking out MTQCaptures videos but I really like the Eorzea Collection and Housing Snap sites! Thanks a bunch

@Frizze - I've fallen in love with Garlond Tools after seeing your post. It has almost everything I need, no more having to tab between multiple windows

I really appreciate the in depth info about housing. Currently our FC has a total of 10 people but only 3 of us are really ever on. We're at rank 12 now and thanks to Covid leaving my jobless, I'll be the one logging on in the morning to try to snag a plot of land. It's a bit sad to read that shirogane will have the highest competition but also very understandable. I think shirogane is our preferred but ultimately we'll be happy as long as we can snag anything.

I mentioned your suggestion about checking out plots and the guildies and I are going to do so sunday assuming we manage to raise enough money. 4 mil sounds pretty tough but so far between me and 1 guildie, we have about 2.5 mil so far and the other guildmate just found a Hedgehoglet while we were running maps and it's listed at around 1.3mil and selling fairly well so we have our fingers crossed.

All 3 of us have fairly high crafting professions but none of them are 80 yet. I have the highest retainers at lvl 70 but havent been able to get their iLvl high enough but that's something I'm currently working on without spending gil. I think I'm the only one that doens't have at least 2 crafters that are lvl 70+ but I'll be catching up soon. We've been 3-manning Uznair fairly easily except our rng stinks, I think we've ran about 20 maps so far but we always get kicked out after the 2nd-3rd round.

I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that out, it really helped with finding a direction to make gil.

@EaMett - unfortunately we don't know anyone but I think we've made pretty decent progress so far, a little over halfway there in terms of gil

@MistakeNot - thanks for the websites! I stumbled upon gamerescape and consolegamewikis but I've bookmarked the housing and gardening sites! Hopefully I'll be able to use them soon
