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!

Contest Announcement: Campus Upgrade Fundraiser

Leave a comment

Headmistress Kela is offering a unique opportunity to members of the Academy who are active in the months leading up to the Stormblood expansion.

Shortly after June 20, there will be a patch to the game which will include the addition of a new housing ward, so Large plots will become available again. It is our hope that by that time we will have raised the requisite 40 – 50 million gil required to upgrade our Medium size house to a Large size mansion.

To accomplish this, the Academy needs your donations!

As of this posting, we currently have 10 million gil allocated for this impeding upgrade, which means up to 40 million gil still needs to be supplied.

Kela herself has pledged as much money as she can provide in the current economy, however anyone who is capable of matching or exceeding her contribution by the time the house is purchased will receive FREE CRAFTED FURNITURE FOR LIFE, from Kela, available whenever desired on request.

Here are the current standings:

Right now, 5 million gil is the magic number, but as Kela donates more, the stakes will be higher and the goal more challenging. Are you up to the task?

All that you have to do is add gil to the company chest as you are willing and able. Kela keeps track of all donations via the company chest history, so rest assured that your contribution will be counted appropriately. Updates will be posted about monthly here at the blog, so make sure you’re checking regularly (or following the Free Company via twitter)!

Here’s hoping you participate, best of luck, and enjoy your lifetime supply of free furniture!
