We want to start saving for a house. A lot of us have the "Go Big or Go Home" mentality when it comes to the housing.
The original goal was a house by 2.2 release sometime in May. This is impractical as we would need to be saving ~6 million gil per week. At our current active members that would be roughly 300k per week. This is obviously not foreseeable.
So..I've done my best to come up with a way everyone can pitch in. I believe for the house, that everyone will use, everyone should pitch in a little. This will not be a mandatory thing what-so-ever, but strongly urged.

Ideas/Solutions:

1. Treasure Maps - We can have anyone with a 50 gathering class grab Timeworn Peisteskin Maps as much as possible. If we take 8 people out with at least 1 map each that is roughly 80k per run if we donate all the gil received. This once a week can help.

2. Philosophy Materials - Philosophy Tomestones have become a bit of a joke to farm. When actively farming you can get 1000 a day easy enough. So…the idea here to take the Philosophy Materials and giving them to one of our crafters to have them turned into sellable gear. This gear usually sells for 100-200k on the Market Boards. Even if you can only spare 1-2 materials, anything helps.

3. General Donations - You make your own money and you're good at it!? You're wealthy from 1.0!? You buy gil!? (just kidding <.<) Well this is where you can help us out!
If you feel like donating please do so. Withdrawals from the FC bank is locked except for the top 2 members. A grab-and-run incident won't happen here. Money's worth in this game sans housing is low.

4. Mercenary Scenarios - This is a touchy subject. This one required our best and brightest to sell themselves and their services to make money for the Free Company. This could be a bad thing or a really good thing depending on how it was processed. Nonetheless, it's a way to make money.

If you guys have any more ideas please share them!
