My #1 alt is lv 90 with all crafters/gatherers 90, My #2 alt is lv 90 with 5 warrior retainers at 90 and a leather worker at 90 to make the mats the retainer's get. My #3 alt is lv 90 and has 5 botanist retainers she has a lv 90 carpenter to make her mats, my #4 alts is lv 90 and has 5 miners retainers and also has a lv 90 goldsmith to make it's mats. Since then I have recruited 3 but 2 have quit. I have no job so I can play them al daily and love doing so. I am not a shell and DayDreamer18 would agree. With my system is place I am rich and won a mansion but lost to a zero. Every week I get to do 5 custom deliveries and buy purple mats and make anything i want for free. That's how you make gil to buy a house
Correct, I would not consider you a shell FC. You have actual playtime in the game and you're making use of the FC, not purchasing them with three alts under level 20 with a nonsensical FC name and flipping it for gil. I have nothing against small FCs, my own falls in that category.
