[FFXIV] Housing Savage : Shirogane Mafia FC house


Hey there! Been a while since I updated this blog but I finally found a reason to. I've been focusing on growing my Facebook page Huffy Panda Bur. I post screenshots, videos and I sometimes stream my adventures in Eorzea. Hope you decide to visit. I am also active on twitter now since I found that a good portion of lalafell population frequent it.  



I've been doing some decorating and I recently did one for my friends in SANCT. They didn't really give me any theme to go on and pretty much gave me as much creative freedom as they can (and the budget to go with it) XD. It was tons of fun. 

I figured that going with a Dark Mafia-Esque theme for their FC house. With their current FC leader's approval, I went to work on it.

BASEMENT


They wanted a stripper pole but there isn't anything that would work like that in the game at the moment so .... they got this thick pillar. haha I tried. 

This bar was initially a blue Matanga elephant bar but they thought it was a tad bit much so I resorted to changing it to something like this instead :) 

This loft couch set has one each side of the basement bar

View from the top 


GROUND FLOOR

Next, I worked on the ground floor where I made 2 lounges, the waiting area, and the function room 




The waiting room is where visitors are led when waiting for their host. 

There is also a waiting couch by the private rooms 

The function room is where you can find the karaoke/entertainment system

People watching K-drama while lounging


 This is also where you'll find all the essentials. Mender, Materia melder, FC chest, and the likes.

Going up the staircase leading to the 2nd floor rooms. 



2ND FLOOR

The room on the right is the boss room. This is where the boss receives important guests or members who seek an audience or advice.


This is also where they keep the "goods"


The room on the left is the meeting room for leaders 




GARDEN

Outside is the Zen garden and the secret hot springs on the 2nd-floor balcony. 





 Hope you liked it. You can visit their FC house (if it's open) here:

Server: Tonberry
Data Center: Elemental
Shirogane Ward 7, Plot 46 (Southern Shirogane Subdivision)

I'll probably try to shoot a video of it later and update this post. :3

Shadowbringers Early Access To-Do List (WIP)

Just thought that I’d compile stuff that you can do once early access kicks in. If you have suggestions and corrections, please feel free to leave a comment below so I can update this :)

If you have side quests that you have yet to finish in the Stormblood high level areas, you may want to consider doing them and waiting for Shadow Bringers before you submit them for completion for the EXP.








Beast Tribe Quests

Do quests from Kojin and Ananta Beast tribe quests but do not turn it in until you login after maintenance




Port to Peering stones and fly to the Ananta Area and get the quests






Teleport to Tamamizu and get the Kojin Beast Tribes



Challenge logs

If you don’t know how to do this, you can check this blog here for pics and info









Race Change

If you’re switching to Viera/hrothgar or any other race, as soon as the patch hits, make sure to use your fantasia before maintenance starts and prepare your character template via the Benchmark tool

Final Fantasy Christmas Gifts 2016

I usually give out gifts every year to my friends in Final Fantasy. This year, it is something small and fragile.

Ideally, I wanted to distribute them in a gathering to save myself the hassle of delivering them individually but couldn't organize one when everyone would be free so individual deliveries it is! XD

I'm so happy that my friends received them and even happier that some of them posted it on their walls :)

My first attempt at making the frosted glasses was a week before December. I was an amateur so it didn't come out good. What came out of it was terribad and I didn't want to give it to anyone for Christmas so I decided to have it done professionally.

I had a template for the Eorzea Meteor as a design but it doesn't look nice on the frosted glass. The glass maker asked me if I had anything else on me that he could use and I had this moogle art from deviantart saved in my flash drive. He did a trial on one of them and it came out nice so he made the rest of it using that design.

Took a week before I could pick them all up and a whole month and a half to deliver them ^_^

[WoW] Back in Legion

It's been 5 years since I hung my Horde flag and left World of Warcraft and thanks to some good and really persuasive and supportive friends, I am now back in Azeroth and loving it.

The moment I saw the login screen, I remembered how awesome it was to play this game back in 2007- 2008. It felt so epic to see Dark portal in the login screen and I relished every moment of it.



Everything from the login screen sounds to the loading screen, sent me to an abyss of nostalgia. It's like a miasma of Blizzard awesomeness engulfing me and in it, I got lost.

I could almost imagine the smell of Orgrimmar especially now that there is a new Warchief :3

I logged on to some old toons but it felt so different. There were so many class changes since I was gone that I felt overwhelmed. So I decided to level a new character and start over.



With heirlooms, it's not too bad since I manage to level at least 20 levels a day. (And it could be faster if you're not as lazy :P)



I'm surprised to find the guild I am in, there are so many players online most of the time. Around 30-40 on peak hours. Whoever said that this game is dead will probably want to take it back... (that includes me)

I have yet to explore Legion areas but I'll probably post some info once I get there and share stuff to returning players :)


















30 Days of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Day 09: Most enjoyed Beast Tribe.

I never thought I'd continue this. I guess I was just waiting for the right answer to this question.

The first few beast tribes were okay but they have little quirks that didn't quite seem to appeal to me. Sylphs had tons of annoying quests that require you to carry things far in the map and stay out of combat, Amaal'ja's desert quests didn't appeal to me either. Especially the fate ones. Sahagin is okay for me, but the small space can get a bit irritating when you wanna move around. Gnats creep me out cause they remind me of insects and Vanu Vanu... well they have a nice dance but nothing else that appeals to me.

The answer to this challenge is definitely definitely the moogle beastribe quests.











Moogles are extremely adorable. I love everything about their beast tribe. Their quests are funny, their dailies are enjoyable and their rewards are ummmmppfff marshmallamazing!



I love the moogle slippers, the cloud mallow mount and best of all, the moogle dance! I can't stop... I just can't.

Hello Wello Marshmallows! Just updating my blog.

It's been a while since housing was released in the game and I've always expressed my dream to live in a large FC house with my friends in Limsa Lominsa's Mist housing wards.

With the insanely expensive housing costs, this wasn't possible for us until the recent patch. It was a race to patch and buy houses in Tonberry after 3.3 patch day and the fear of not being able to buy an adequately priced house was everyone's worry. We were lucky enough that Marach was able to secure a good house for the FC.



I was still at the office when Plebe told me about it and I was so excited to get home. I scurried home after work, as fast as my little lala legs could take me. And when I was finally standing in front of our new house, the feeling was a mix of happiness and excitement.



Our FC is small but I'm lucky that we're blessed with really good people and friends (who can craft really good stuff). So it didn't take long before we started filling in the empty spaces of the new house.





The FFXIV forums and FFXIV cribs episodes were huge inspirations for our interiors. We did a few clippings and floating effects here and there and it turned out quite nice.

All in all, it took us around 3 days to completely decorate the house from basement to the 2nd floor.

Though my personal favorite is the Oriental deck out in the yard. I'd summon my minion and sleep in the garden if i'll be AFK.





With Plebe and Marach's hard work, the last touch was to turn our house into a Moogle house.



It's absolutely stunning!

If you're in Tonberry, please feel free to drop by our house to hang out or have fun. We always love having guests over. :D

Mist Ward 11, Plot 2. Just port to (Mist West) and you'll end up in front of our house.



Cheers!
