This morning when I popped online, it appears my auctions had sold quite well last night so I went ahead and checked the total funds we had saved up and I landed right on 450k gil! Our house has been bought and built and is ready for decoration! You can find our house in Mist, Ward 1. I named it "Raven's Roost" for now but the name can be subject to change based on what we all want.
I held off on placing a company aetheryte crystal there just yet since I read you can only have one and it seems to be permanent placement so I didn't want to tempt fate and put it somewhere we would like to have something else. Now I could be misunderstanding and it could be that once you place the crystal, if you want to move it, you have to destroy and go buy another one.
Anyways, shameless character/house screenshot!
We have plenty of neighbors now and they are all starting to build houses as well. Since maintenance tonight will interfere with decorating and what not, Thursday I will be in full force gathering and crafting so we have stuff we can put outside and inside. I may have to max my alchemy class finally since it makes some neat stuff as well.
Just shooting out yet another thanks to everyone that helped save up for the land and building permit! It took us a awhile but even with our small numbers, we sure know how to save money!
