Final Fantasy XIV3.4 Patch - FAQ for FFXIV Balmung

Q:1. What's the endgame situation like (PF and clears.)? While not looking for savage statics we do like to clear EX primals and farm them like no tomorrow! We've cleared all but Nidhogg EX (due to lack of learning parties on our server) and we are eager to get that done, as well as head into the new primals coming in ffxiv 3.4 patch! Is it easy to get into learning groups? How long to farm groups usually stay together. Is the PF fairly active late at night? (we game till about 3am sometimes or longer depending on work)

A:1) End game can be active, if you start a learning party, it isn't hard to fill in the 1 hour window. The farm parties can vary in how long they stick together.

Q:2. The economy: My FC leader is an avid crafter who has all classes leveled to 60. So, naturally he is interested in the Economy and Market board on Balmung. What kind of stuff is most profitable? How often does the market shift? Zalera had a pretty brutal economy so we're hoping Balmung is a bit more stable. Also, what is housing like? How often, if at all, do houses become available for purchase?

A: 2) The market isn't hard to make a million ffxiv gil, the market typically favors buying during the week and selling in weekends. The market for houses is pretty locked down, I see PF for housing all the time(for wanting to buy) but pretty much will always go unanswered. There isn't much incentive to sell.

Q:3. RP community: while my FC leader isn't a huge RPer (he did table top way back), my wife and I are experienced Rpers! This was a main drawing point for the two of us. We're are open to joining a mid/small active RP FC. We'd also like them to be fairly active when it comes to end game content as well since as stated my FC leader isn't all that much into RP. (might convince him otherwise)

A:3) There are many mid sized FC's that fit your description so finding one shouldn't be too hard. In fact, let me offer up my free company for you to consider. The name is Death By Hairball and we are a Miqo'te/Au Ra only FC. We are a mid sized FC with around 51 members. We have a medium house in the Lavender Beds. We are active and do weekly events together. We're like a family that help each other and try to progress as far as we can as an FC. We aren't really an RP FC, but starting Saturday we're trying to do a weekly RP event. So we're trying to get a little RP in the FC. Below is our weekly schedule of events:

Mon - EX Primals 7:30pm CST

Tues - Maps/Aquapolis 6pm CST

Wed - Palace of the dead 6pm CST

Fri - Pony farm 5-7 start time (whenever we have enough we'll go)

Sat - RP Event

We also are trying to get everyone final coil clears before 3.4 drops. So if you guys need any of the coils (T1-13) we can schedule a time to do that as well. We generally have around 10-12 people online during our peak hours (5pm-10pm CST mon-fri) and there's always someone online. So if that sounds like your kind of FC, just put in an application with us or find me or Kasumi Ikern in game.
