Three Ravens Mercantile Located at: The Raven’s Rest The Mist Ward 20, Plot 60 (Southwest Subdivision) Three Ravens Mercantile is an Ishgardian-owned trading company which specializes in the manufacture and trade of high quality, hand-crafted goods to customers all across the land. Originally founded in the wake of the Calamity, the company employs individuals from a variety of highly skilled disciplines and crafts. Our customers and clients run the range from individuals seeking one-off works of art to companies and workshops wishing to buy products in bulk. We are, for a limited time, opening our doors to new recruits. Whether you be an experienced artisan seeking steady employment, or a prospective apprentice who wishes to learn a trade, any and all are welcome to apply. We have a host of positions available, from skilled artisans and material suppliers to security and housekeeping. For more information, please drop by our company headquarters (currently located outside of Limsa Lominsa) where you are welcome to submit an application of interest. *** OOC Information Please feel free to take a look at our carrd for further information. We are a small trading company themed FC located on Zalera. Though we are currently open for recruitment, we are not looking to grow too large or too fast. Therefore, we are primarily looking for members who enjoy a smaller, more casual FC environment where characters can get to know each other well. As a trading company we are looking for crafters, gatherers and more business-like characters, but we are open to anyone provided we can find an IC position for your character within the company (which, really, shouldn’t be too hard). Senior positions (IC only) are available with discussion. Our carrd has a list of potential roles available for non-crafting characters, and we are open to any and all ideas. Patrons and customers are also welcome. Our main requirements are that you be happy within a smaller community and have a character with a lore-appropriate background and name (or a reason as to why their name is unusual, if that is the case). We are a fairly lore compliant group, and while we are fine with people getting bendy with the game’s lore, we would prefer not to engage in anything that is straight up lore breaking. We are a medium-casual RP group, where RP is encouraged but not mandatory. People are welcome to attend events with each other, set up spontaneous RP if they feel like it, and in the future we will set up our own FC events and RP nights. Outside of RP we like to do casual group content such as roulettes, mount farms etc, and are looking to set up map runs and deep dungeon forays in the near future. While we are located on a lower population server (Zalera) we do have a small discord community and are considering setting up a CWLS for communication across the data center. If you think you might be interested but are currently on another server we’d still be happy to hear from you. For further information, please feel free to get in touch with Lothaire Valenfort in game, or via discord (Valtiere#9845), visit our FC house and/or apply in-game via our FC.

This thread will outline the general Free Company chest status and etiquette. Due to the currently limited space of the Free Company chest, there are some things to bear in mind when going over what might or might not be available. As a note, I generally keep a lot of supplies in my Chocobo Bags and on my Retainers -- so if it's not in the Free Company chest, feel free to message me and ask about what I might have. Hopefully there will be an increase in Free Company chest space in a future update so that asking around is irrelevant... but until then.... If interested in keeping up with the Free Company supply and making use of it, please message me on if your character within the Free Company is a Gatherer, Artisan, or Both! We can give you the appropriate permissions depending on what you classify your character as. Gatherers will only be able to donate to the Free Company chest, Artisans can take from the chest (within reason), and those that classify as both are free to give and take as needed as well as are expected to resupply what they used up. Depending on what you classify as, you will be listed in this post in your own segment so that people know you do. Gatherers will be given the role Itinerant. Crafters and those that Dual Crafter and Gatherers will be given the role Artisan. In order to gain the Artisan role, however, you must be ranked a Traveller with the FC first, which is earned when you have spent enough time with the guild to where we feel we can trust you with freely taking and depositing items into the Company Chest. We expect you to abide by the rules set in place to the Free Company Chest, otherwise we will remove you from your role for repeated offences. I shall do my best to update the lists below as necessary, keeping levels as current as possible. I will do my best to devote time on Sundays to update everyone's levels. If you would like to provide one of your alt accounts to effectively be storage for the Free Company, you can do that as well! As noted, space is a luxury that FFXIV seems to find itself short on. So if you would like to provide one of your alt characters to carry certain items, there will be a form provided to show us and others that alt and what that alt carries on them. Supplies for Crafting--> Crafting is one of the things that is absolutely welcome to level up and take from the chest for. Just remember to take within reason so that others can get what they need over time. If you are a combination of Artisan / Gatherer, please make an effort to resupply what you took if you have the capability. If not, then inform one of the gatherers of what you took, and they might be able to go out of their way to do a resupply run if needed. Supply & Provisioning for Grand Company Orders --> If your order is for gathering supplies, then we ask that you just gather the supplies yourself. If your order is for crafting items for your Grand Company order, then please take what you need to craft what it is that is needed. If you have the capability, please make an effort to resupply what it was you took! Applying for a Provision / Supply Position--> When you apply to become a Gatherer, Artisan, or both, here is what you must provide to us: Applying for Storage Character Position--> When you apply for one of your characters to become Free Company storage, here is what you must provide to us: Primam Chorus | FreeJayFly Botanist lvl 80 Miner lvl 80 Fisher lvl 53 Carpenter lvl 80 Blacksmith lvl 80 Armorer lvl 80 Goldsmith lvl 80 Leatherworker lvl 80 Weaver lvl 80 Alchemist lvl 80 Culinarian lvl 77

I was actually surprised for once not to find something listed up in the Sounsyy compendium thread. Does anyone have any lore (or has there been any lore dumps) on the Disciples of the Hand and Crafting in Eorzea? Is it magic and doesn't take much time to do? (e.g. uses crystals to expedite the process?) or is it something that takes a long time to master and learn, and it can take days to weeks to make a sword like in real life?

Xihsa'li's crafting order basics The way I craft for Free Company members is generally like this: I'll never ask you for gil. Only mats. I can, and often will, give you pointers on where to get the materials cheap, or if the materials are more expensive than the finished product on the MB at the time. Since I buy materials in bulk, sometimes it happens that I have enough materials to provide some of the materials for what it is you want crafted. If these aren't horribly expensive and/or scarce, I generally won't ask you to provide them. If you bring me all mats, I'll make it if I'm able. I am only able to make the Carpenter 4.2 items, not the other crafting classes'. Where and when to ask you? When can I get my items? Ask me on discord on the #crafting_requests channel, or in-game. We can agree on the when and how once you give me a request and I check whether or not I have the materials on hand. If you bring me all mats, I will craft for you as soon as possible. Waiting times only apply when I have to check my retainers and the cost of items on the market board. Xihsa'li's Crafting Classes Subject to change as I level all my classes up daily... Will update here as often as I remember. Crafting Class Current Level Master Crafting (Max.
