Last weekend in 2013! What did you do?
Following the advice of posters here, I decided to do a bit of crafting/gathering to put myself in a position to actually contribute to FC housing.
Botanist 28 --> 41
Got my first map! Leveling Botanist is really quite fun if you have Leve allowances AND Grand Company survival manuals (2300 seals for a 50% EXP gathering boost for 2 hours). These levels flew right by.
Weaver 35 --> 38
Went ahead and turned 300+ flax into thread and cloth. Then again with Fleece -> Wool. The Patch 2.1 EXP increase to Quick Synthesis made each Linen or Wool Thread/Cloth net 1500~2000 EXP per synth. I just put 200 mats in, set to 100 quick-synths and go take a break, returning to a EXP gain of 200k!
Then I outfitted myself with 35-40 crafter/gatherer cloth gear and made an extra of each piece of gear for each slot. (If I need it, someone else does too right?) For the first time in ages I have two retainers with 20 slots each full of sellable gear.
Thanks for the advice and motivation guys!
