Mansion Fundraiser

Announcing the Pathfinders Mansion Fundraiser!

With patch 3.1 upon us comes a list of new features added to housing, among being a system to reclaim plots unused by their owners.  This is the perfect time for our company to pool our money and purchase ourselves a large house, and we're asking you, our members, to help us.

Why would we need a large house?  Is it really worth the trouble?  There are multiple reasons for us to upgrade, among them:

All Crafting Benches: We have most of these already, it's true, but our current home doesn't allow for all crafting benches.  I know many of us love to level our crafting classes, and future members will too.  With all crafting benches at our disposal, everyone will be able to benefit from them for any crafting class they want to level.

More Garden Plots: Gardening gives us fruit to dye chocobos, along with rare minions and crafting materials.  We can keep these for our own uses or sell them for a tidy profit.  Either way, more space for more gardening means more for all of us to benefit from.

More Vendor NPCs: A large house will also let us set additional vendor NPCs, letting us have all the various mendors and vendors available for our needs all day, every day.

More Room for Role Paying and Events: Part of the dream we had when founding this FC was to have a group more unusual than most.  Instead of just grinding dungeons all day, we also wanted to be a company that promoted role playing and various other events.  More space in our company house will give us more room to fully achieve these goals.  A bigger and better bar, or maybe a stage for fashion contests.  These are the things possible with more space.

A Prestigious Image: Let's face it, no matter how awesome our group is (and it is, because of all of you!) the bigger the house, the better we look to the world.  We already have the best damn people you could meet in our company.  Each and every one of you who have stuck with us have proven that it was never a mistake to invite you in, and you deserve to be represented to the rest of Eorzea with the best house possible.

Group Achievement: Beyond building airships and aetherial wheel stands together, raising the money necessary to buy a large plot is no small task.  We're not the most hardcore players.  We don't have our server's market economy dominated.  Building up this much gil will be an uphill fight, which is exactly why we should do it.  If we can pull this off, then we will have really done something as a group that we can be proud of.

You Do Not Have to Donate!

It's important to let you all know that you do not need to donate.  You will not be harassed into it.  You will not be excluded from any future events or activities.  You will not be treated badly.  We understand that not everyone has the time to make large amounts of gil, or that some players are saving up for their own goals.  You do not have to worry about having a place with the Pathfinders if you don't donate.

How Much Do We Need?

Housing plots are priced based off size, availability, and for how long they are empty before purchase.  With the high demand for housing already insane, and large houses starting high, we're estimating that we'll need 60 million gil.  If this turns out to be too much, the remaining money will be spent on furnishings, gear and materials for FC members, and supplies for gardening.  This money will not be kept for any individual's personal gain, and that is a promise to our members.

We're currently sitting at 17 million.  Let's hit the markets and make this happen!
