Furthermore, the thunderous battlegrounds of Maelstrom saw my triumphant march, with 89 resounding victories. A mere 11 victories stand between me and the...

  Greetings, Adventurers o/   This week, let's dive into an exceptionally reliable and straightforward method to amass the gil you desire.

  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 hous...

  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 ...
