What's the general, overall housing space situation these days? I'm thinking of returning to the game but it really depends on this. I'm willing to transfer to low pop servers. Even if everything is generally full, is there enough turnover of plots to give someone determined enough a shot at one?

Ainsley McTree posted:I think the dungeon grind is the part that's turning me off the most; low level dungeons are kind of snoozefests compared to the cool level 50 stuff, and there are some dungeons I just plain never want to see again, or at least never run with pubbies (lookin' at you, Aurum Vale). Only two of the atma dungeons are <50. Although one of those IS AV (the other is DD). All the others are level 50 dungeons

That's good then; I thought I'd seen people asking to do low level dungeons for relic stuff, but it must have been something else. Still, DD and AV are the two that I want to do the least so even that's making me re-think it.

Bauxite posted:I feel like requiring 40 people is a thing that should never happen, but having a raid that's "up to 40 people" could be fun for a big guild that doesn't want to turn people away. It's why wow's flex technology is so great and hopefully the new thing for mmo raiding. Have it be a giant clusterfuck where you're on a respawn timer and people die a lot and make it a fun shitshow instead of serious time raiding. Can confirm he doxxed me on his guilds website after I canceled the domain he threatened legal action to take against me for owning it. Guess he didn't like having his character name forwarded to meatspin for a year.  I'm sure the person doing the video work in first person mode on nihilums world first kt kill was giving it his all.

Hopefully it's less of a clusterfuck. Didn't GW2 have a sane implementation of housing? I quit playing after they banned a bunch of people for "exploiting" crafting at launch, so my memory is fuzzy. ...we're not going to have to buy new housing in Ishgard to get our airship stuff, are we!?

I think they need to do something different. My uncle once got a crystal trophy from US Airways for being one of the top ten flyers in the world one year. It was a beautiful/shameful reminder that he spent something like 5 cumulative months of his life one year sitting in a plane. They should send you an exquisite statue of Godbert with a disapproving look on his face.

Minrad posted:Any good ways to earn money before expansion end, or is it the same old of "spiritbond poo poo" with turn 4 replacing northern thanalan? My tried and true method has always been selling poo poo my retainers find. I'm not obscenely rich, but I can buy more or less anything I want if I get the urge to buy it. Fat cats and floss silk are my favorite things to see and I run my retainers ragged to get more. Ixal quests to get sealant and sell it daily is still a decent, steady income, but not nearly as good as it was a few months ago. Gathering things like volcanic rock salt, darksteel ore, crawler cocoons, and elemental clusters can be too if you are diligent about it and the market on your server isn't totally flooded at the time. If you have access to a garden you could always grow some glazenuts or thav onions, though don't expect the payout to come quickly. Only so much time left before the expansion to grow crops as well. And dumb as it sounds, flipping stuff sold by NPC vendors at 10x to 100x your cost on the MB still works if you find the right thing to flip.

Also keep your eyes on items that can be purchased with excess seals/tomes and putting up reasonable stack sizes. I made a killing last week on coke because I caught it at around 6k per. I threw them up in stacks of 9 and they sold almost instantly. Last I checked the prices had dropped again but stuff like that is worth keeping your eyes on.

I made a character on a random euro server and it even has small houses available. Plenty, too. I think Excalibur has a grand total of one large though. Or maybe that sold recently, too.

Splitting big stacks of cheap into smaller stacks of expensive, crafting items that everyone needs/wants regardless of level, or just watching the normal fluctuations of the market. (Yes, the markets fluctuate. Especially mid-to-high-end materia, sometimes around 2,000 gil over the course of a week.) (Yes, Altruzine. I know. You think I have too much gil.) Honestly though, my first six million were made by selling HQ brass rings, 20 or so a day, at 5,000 gil apiece. The beauty of it was that all the mats were buyable from the Goonhaus vendor, and a macro took care of HQing them 100% of the time. It's not sexy 4* crafting, still isn't, but the markets are there, you just have to look. (GSM leve turn-in, desynth, and levelling items. You could tell which was which by how many sold at once.) That market's tapped now, I only sell in there for some teleport money, but still. Do some looking. (I have not yet begun to make money. I'm waiting for my AH plugins, once Yoshi-P gives us the freaking mod API we've been promised.) SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Apr 22, 2015 |

I've noticed that checking the ixal delivery daily for things that are only in stacks of 99 are a good way to make some money off people being lazy doing their daily.

Yes, and sometimes, but this is incredibly rarely, you can hoover up a bajillion stacks of one, and repost as one big stack. Nobody likes having to go through and buy a hundred 1-stacks of ore, when they could just buy one stack of 99, for example. Oh, and vendor-sold items. Do you know, most people aren't aware that you can buy the raw gems used in level 18 accessories? Even if they do know, I guarantee you, they'll still forget from time to time. I did, levelling up my ROG on the way to 50ing everything. Went and bought some Amethysts, only to realize after the fact that I'd done a stupid. Can make some money that way, too.

Spent the afternoon pony farming. Anecdotally I'd say the drop rate now feels like about 1/3, give or take. Quite reasonable overall, especially if you can get a static to do it.
