The Wealthy Potato

  Greetings Fellow Adventurers 🌟   January has unfurled its slow pace, but fear not, for within the realms of seemingly languid progress, significant triumphs have been etched on the tapestry of my journey. Let's embark on this update, where every achievement is a step closer to the grand tapestry of victory.   Mounts Marvel: The month witnessed the triumphant arrival of the regal Chyrsomallos, the Golden Sheep, a pinnacle of elegance and gilded opulence. With this majestic acquisition, only one more gleaming gil mount remains on my horizon—the illustrious Gilded Mikoshi. Achievements Unleashed: Amidst the tranquillity of the month, I set my sights on completing a multitude of achievements. The pursuit of A and B rank hunt achievements from past expansions became a thrilling quest, and victory embraced me. Furthermore, the thunderous battlegrounds of Maelstrom saw my triumphant march, with 89 resounding victories. A mere 11 victories stand between me and the grand ach

  Greetings, Adventurers o/   This week, let's dive into an exceptionally reliable and straightforward method to amass the gil you desire. All you need is a non-culinarian Disciple of the Hand (DoH) at level 50. We're delving into the realm of crafting Magitek Repair Materials—a lucrative venture as Free Companies (FCs) constantly demand these items for repairing their submersibles. To determine which DoH to employ, assess your elemental crystal inventory. Choose the one with the most abundant crystals or the most cost-effective option.   Crafting Requirements: Elemental Crystals 1 Dark Matter Cluster 5 Grade 6 Dark Matter   Dark Matter Cluster : These can be obtained from level 50 timed nodes in both Mining and Botany. Check out this post if you need resources to find these nodes. Alternatively, maximize efficiency by dispatching max-level retainers to collect 9 clusters every 50 minutes—an autonomous approach for those who prefer a hands-free method.

 Hello Adventurers o/ Continuing our series on exploring how to make gil with desnythesis, let’s move forward on to the older extremes.

  Greetings, Eorzeans!   Welcome back to another part in this series of making gil by crafting popular housing items. This time we will be showcasing a couple more items that I have tested to insure they are consistent money makers across multiple servers. For this part we will be going over some relatively newer housing items in the Back Bar and the Waterfall Partition.   Housing Item #1: Back Bar The first spotlight shines on the “Back Bar”, a crafting recipe available to anyone who has achieved level 80 in Carpentry. This item is used to help home designers create a bar aesthetic, which is used a lot in the nightclubs you can see advertised in game making it sell consistently.   The Back Bar is easy to craft as it uses quite a few vendor materials which reduces grinding.   You just need to gather the logs and craft 10 Lignum Vitae Lumber as well as buy 6 sets of liquor bottles. These liquor bottles are bought from Housing Merchants in any housing district or an Apart

  Greetings, fellow adventurers o/ This month may have been marked by a slower pace in terms of achievements, but the crescendo of excitement echoes within the walls of my new haven in the coveted Shirogane wards. Let me take you on a captivating tour through the carefully crafted spaces that now define my in-game sanctuary.     Outside: A Tranquil Oasis Nestled against a backdrop of swaying bamboo and the gentle melody of a nearby waterfall, my plot exudes serenity. Positioned conveniently next to a bustling market board, the exterior is a visual feast adorned with the Sukiya design. This choice not only imbues the yard with an outdoor spa and seating area but also elegantly sidesteps the need for excessive housing items. Crafting a cohesive theme for the exterior challenged my design prowess, resulting in a harmonious blend of aesthetics. To the right I have created a relaxing tropical camp set up using items from the newly released variant dungeon Aloalo Island. To the
