Incoming Faculty: Professor Ravella Morlock

Leave a comment

Everyone please welcome our newest Professor, Miss Ravella, DPS extraordinaire, treasure hunter and friend of furry creatures. In addition to meeting the level and ilvl requirements [60 and i255 until 4.1], she has volunteered to take over the website blog from Headmistress Kela, which will be her charitable time contribution for the FC.

Kela will be switching her focus to PR and recruitment. Initiatives include her typical upkeep of Facebook, Reddit and Discord recruitment connections, soliciting and updating testimonials, promotional game capture videography, member surveys and active in-game recruitment.

Meanwhile Ravella will be in charge of all news reporting on club meetings and events. This means all Club officers who host events (and anyone who attends events as willing) will be responsible for getting Ravella screenshots and brief synopses of how events were received in order for the blog to report your successes! Please make sending media to Ravella for posting a high priority.

Thank you, everyone!

Honorable Meta Achieved

Leave a comment

In a fit of silliness and desire for that sweet, sweet exp, the Stabbies have discovered a new meta: White Mage, Summoner (with Titan Egi), Samurai, and Ninja. With this killer party comp Sukutak, N’Tohj, Kotone, and Ravella successfully cleared the level 63 dungeon Shisui of the Violet Tides.

Our intrepid adventurers wanted to see how far they could get without a tank and pulled a couple of trash mobs when they realized: N’Tohj has a pocket tank! For the rest of the dungeon Titan Egi valiantly tanked and was saved from certain death numerous times by Sukutak’s heals. Meanwhile, Kotone and Ravella stabbed everything in sight with sharp objects. The group only suffered one casualty at the very end of the first boss, but other than that stormed their way through the dungeon to victory!

Nymian Royal Academy celebrates Stormblood Early Access with Record Numbers!

Leave a comment

The Nymian Royal Academy would like to personally thank and welcome everyone who logged in on patch day for Early Access to the second expansion of Final Fantasy XIV online: Stormblood! The Academy reached record online numbers of 26 members simultaneously, and the best part was we were all helping each other adjust to the new content, whether that was commiserating over the instanced server being down, or pairing tanks and healers with DPS to help them get in their leveling queues. Helpful information about new job actions and new jobs  was also available to anyone who needed it.

In addition, over the past 48 hours we had 6-7 people join our academy from various recruitment sources. We are so thrilled that we are reaching new players – and encouraging veteran players to find a home with us so they can benefit from what we have to offer and give back to the community.

Our members are really what make our Free Company great. As excited as I am for the new expansion, the most thrilling thing about it is having such an awesome, solid team to work through it together.

Incoming Faculty: Ponyo and Luna

Leave a comment

Just a quick update on our two new professors.

Professor Ponyo Amasawa will be responsible for creating guide content for the first thirty levels of play for all classes. Her guides can be found under the guide tab of the menu of the main page and will seek to answer new player’s questions about their chosen role within FFXIV gameplay. She is also an accomplished Dragoon with an Alexander: Savage clear.

Also introducing Professor Luna Arianrhod. She has volunteered to develop and publish mechanics lists including diagrams for difficult content, beginning with Extreme Primals. She will also be producing free-company wide uniform strategies that will ensure everyone seeking to run this content with an FC group has a single point of reference for the preferred strategy. She plays both Dragoon and White mage proficiently and is working on her Warrior. Her accomplishments include leading members of the Free Company to victory in Thordan Ex and Sephirot Ex.

Congratulations and best of luck to our new leadership.
