Congratulations everyone! Wear your Eorzean PhD proudly for one month and we will tally again in October. In the meantime, greed ALL of your dungeon drops and turn them in frequently to your Grand Company, let’s get our weekly and monthly rankings up again! Thanks everyone for your efforts!

Hey everyone, as you know we publicly recognize those who excel at earning company credits each month and award titles for those who placed first in each week, and glamour/mount/minion prizes for those who rank in top 500 server-wide for the month overall.

Unfortunately we didn’t have as good a month as we do typically, likely due to the current content lull, and the release of Eureka which doesn’t provide drops for seals. Regardless, we will honor those who participated this month and do better in April!

Those who rank first among FC members each week receive a special in-game rank title: Eorzean PhD. Those who rank in the top 500 players on Brynhildr for the whole month can request a prize item, reasonably priced glamour, mounts, minions, furniture or gear!

Congratulations to everyone, but especially Nine Zu, who kicked butt this month. Thank you again for participating as your performance helps the Royal Academy rank high against other FCs on the server and encourages recruitment and growth.

As many of you may be aware, recently we hosted a Free Company Fundraising contest to raise gil for our estate move to a mansion in Shirogane. With patch 4.1 our dream became a reality as we moved into our stunning beachside mansion at Shirogane 12/7. It features a distinctive Carbuncle library exterior and, naturally, a tonberry theme inside with as much Marsh Green dye as the Headmistress could buy.

While many participated in the contest only one qualified for the grand prize: George Hyrule who not only matched Kela’s donation but over doubled it. Originally the prize was set to be free crafted furniture for life, however George very magnanimously refused to claim the prize. Let’s be real: if the man can make that much gil is he really needing someone to craft him furniture?

Knowing that such generosity couldn’t go unrewarded, Kela and leadership struggled to determine what reward would satisfy someone with near infinite knowledge of market fluctuations and essentially a bottomless supply of money. The reward decided upon was free avatar fanart! Kela isn’t a master artist but she did her best and the result is as you see it.

From the Free Company leadership and all the members who now enjoy our Company estate, thank you George Hyrule for your dedication and generosity. You are an inspiration to all of us.
