  • Noble Barding

JP FC progress:


Sadly we didn’t win the lottery, so we are still homeless.

There are seven potential plots to bid on in the ongoing lottery, that ends on the 27th, and we have our eye on a few of them.

I’m gathering materials for the repair kits we need to support the submarine and airship missions, as well as topsoil for planting in the garden.

We transferred some funds over to JP to have enough money for a few eventualities, so we don’t face the dilemma of not being able to bid, just because we don’t have money.



I went and put together a new glam using the skirt we got from the Valentine's Day event. It is cute, though you have to use boots, if you don’t want the socks to show.

Hopefully i’ll be able to report better lottery news next week.

Greetings April, Grand Nagus and any other guest hosts,

The bids are in, now we wait. In this case, we wait for SE to tell us who’s won the lottery for the Berlin FanFest tickets.


Jaffa Cake progress:


Jaffa got her event quest done, and got the event attire, along with the other housing stuff and music rolls you could get from the event.


Candy Shop progress:

 Got the event quest done on Æble. She is going to provide the base housing items if we should be lucky enough to win the lottery for the house!

I’ve been hunting for a plot for multiple days. Last cycle I saw a medium plot that had about eighty bidders trying to get it.

I’m not going to talk about the plot I bid on at all, you never know who might listen!!

All I'm gonna say is that I'm in love with the location of it.



Received my first NieR Automata CD.

Greetings April & Grand Nagus and Big G in case he's made another appearance.


It's been a better week gaming wise. Below are some FFXIV screens and just one from NMS.


Cheers,

Grand Nagus:

Final Fantasy XIV



Level 60+ sticker game on a bi-weekly basis.

The goal is to do 9 tasks, as you can see on the right side, 9/9 completed.



Each completed task will grant you a sticker. If you complete one line, two lines or three lines is totally RNG, but you can use the SECOND CHANCEs to repeat one task as often as you have second chances to spend (max of 9 second chances can be held at any time).



Chocobos can eat buff foods. If you train them on one feed, they will have it as their favorite, or preferred food, and it will give them a bonus of an additional 5% to the buff of 10% standard. But you can feed them any of the buff foods, for the normal 10% buff at any time. The buff will last until the Chocobo retreats from battle, aka after the 30 / 60 mins of presence you get from calling them and not extending it, or until you log out.

So you only need to apply one feed item, if you remember to reapply the summoning duration before it expires.

Candy Shop progress:




We qualify for land purchase now, as the technical term is called.


So I've been scouting for a few nice available plots already
We need to prepare for the housing phase of the FC.

Getting the money to buy the plot, getting the items, leveling the jobs on the characters to be able to craft housing items, so there is plenty to do.

Continuing Stormblood MSQ on the JP DC.
