The Ishgardian Restoration - A Community in the works!
Good Morning, tumblr and friends!
Francy here, or, Francel Mun.
As some of you may be idly aware, I have been slowly making my way through the Firmament grind, steadily on the way to the Pteranodon mount. However, the Diadem slog is long, lonely, and tedious, and in terms of Skyward point allotment, somewhat unrewarding. The Expert crafts are more bearable, but it is still a lonesome endeavor.
In that vein, I had an idea that perhaps it would be nice to build a community centered around Crafting and Gathering, and, while specifically having the Restoration in mind, it need not entirely be just that. So, I have organized, and, am in the process of growing a discord community specific to the Diadem, and Firmament crafting with a social nature in mind. Whether you want to commiserate, level, or mentor and assist, there are roles to choose from, and friends to make. Or, even if you should just like to quietly lurk, and read, and see what is contributed in the social channels, this is alright, as well!
The discord is not limited to just those present on the Crystal data center, as parallel crafting and gathering is possible, and DC travel is achieved. It is possible to be from different DCs and enter the Diadem (but not the Firmament).
If you would like to discuss joining, please feel free to send me a private message. In order to negate the possibility of bots joining, I will not be linking the discord in this post.
Reblogs and sharing this post in some manner would be greatly appreciated! Supporting those going for this achievement is my goal, and hopefully, even after we reach our goals, we can keep this community alive to help others walking the path, later. Whether you are just starting, have been slowly working on it when you can, or, really putting the pedal to metal, we would love to have you!
Thank you for your time, and consideration!

12. Quarry.
I'm afraid your quest I'm declining,
As I need to spend all today mining,
So I'm terribly sorry,
But I simply must quarry.
(And tomorrow's reserved for refining)
FFXIVwrite2024 is #backonthegrind Gathering silliness!
Plants and rocks, wahoo! Finally finished my Lodestar tools for BTN & MIN.
This feels good because I started both of these relics many patches ago and stalled out HARD. I think my down to the wire procrastination style gave me the attention span I needed to finish them up lol
(...I don't think I'm going to finish the fishing rod before DT but that's alright. I have the Crystalline one which is still very pretty)
Level 100 HQ gatherer gear made! This is the first time I've been at endgame with a new expansion, so I got to have my first experience making my own gear, which was a bit intimidating at first but I found a helpful guide and it was honestly so much fun. (I'll be making crafting gear too when I get there; I leveled gatherers first so I could level my retainers and start selling materials. My crafters are all 95 or above so I'm well on the way.)
I actually love this gear (it really works on Ariane) and I think I'm going to be wearing it unglammed for bit.
Also, Cornservant. 🌽
