Extreme Primal Club Stacks to Victory against Sephirot

Leave a comment

Congratulations to Prefect Luna Arianrhod and her club members who cleared Sephirot Extreme for the first time tonight. Clearing members include Headmistress Kela, Professor Sukutak and Prefects Ponyo and N’tojh. The party also included two pick-up tanks and a black mage and suffered about five wipes before clearing.

Luna is optimistic about the future of the group. She intends to learn and teach the Minstrel’s Ballad (Nidhogg’s Rage) to our community next.

A big thank you to Luna for her effort and time. See you next week!

It is my great pleasure to introduce formerly Prefect Sukutak as our first official Professor.

The requirements for Professorship are ilvl 255 on a battle class or i180 on a crafting or gathering class, and volunteer support responsibilities which can either be 1) writing guides 2) teaching content to members in-game or 3) recruitment time.

Sukutak has offered not only to research and post Job guide summaries on the website, but has also generously purchased our new domain xivacademy.com, which we will be relocating too very soon. He is also an i265 WHM and an accomplished gatherer.

Additional immediate candidates included Prefects Luna and Ponyo, who meet the ilvl requirements but have yet to decide on a volunteer opportunity. We look forward to having promote them very soon.

If you are interested in being reviewed for a professorship, please contact Kela either in-game, though discord direct message or via email at [email protected]. Thanks!

Airship Club Completes Project

Leave a comment

Tonight the crafting and gathering club finally finished the Free Company Airship, a project that has been in the works for the past month. Officer Sukutak wasted no time in sending the ship on its first exploratory voyage. By exploring sectors in the Sea of Clouds, we can unlock upgrades to our current ship, or unlock the ability to have multiple ships concurrently.

Any prefect is welcome to send the airship out on missions, in fact it’s best if it’s always out exploring so make sure to keep an eye on it!

Anyone with an interest in crafting and gathering is welcome to show up at the meeting time – 9pm CST Wednesdays – to help with progressing this important contribution to our company. Thank you to Officer Sukutak and club volunteers for your efforts.

EDIT: The name of the Airship is now Company Airship Doinky McDoinkface. I believe Prefect Xiru needs to be credited for that creation, if I correctly recall

First Junior Varsity Savage Team Meeting Sees Clear of A9s

“So easy a popoto could do it.” – Prefect Sukutak

Headmistress Kela offered her first ever Savage raid learning night, teaching Alexander: The Eyes of the Creator (Savage). Unfortunately, do to real-life constraints (read: College Basketball), only one student was able to participate: Prefect Ponyo. Undaunted, Kela took to Party Finder to fill the roster, making a party of mostly people seeking first-time clears.

Due to the simple nature of the mechanics of the fight, Ponyo was able to complete the instance on only the fifth pull, the run lasted a little over six minutes and there were minimal deaths. Ponyo played as her main job, Dragoon, while Kela supported her while healing as a Scholar.

Ponyo was thrilled with the clear, and emphasized afterward how easy the instance was to clear and learn. Now she’ll be able to join farm parties in party finder, earning easy and unlimited i270 accessories from now until Stormblood.

If you’d like to learn this instance from Kela, it’s not too late! Simply express your desire/availability under the requests channel of the Free Company Discord, and Kela will schedule a second night to learn and run A9s.

Led by Prefect and Officer Sukutak, the Royal Acadamy had a busy night on Wednesday evening with over 12 people online simultaneously. Suku, Kela, Ravella, Korodi, Luna, Ponyo and Xiru specifically crafted, coordinated, purchased and gathered our way to the completion of the Airship’s second-to-last component.

The construction is scheduled to finish next week.
