Hey Folks! Gorpo here!
I want to announce a gathering contest!
Here's the deal: we need lots and lots of shards/crystals/clusters, and some people eventually donate them to our chest, and Amaya and I are using a lot of our own to craft FC stuff. But we need to build a stock way larger than what we have now, a stock the size of our FC.
So, every shards/crystals/clusters donation will give you points:
Clusters - 5 points each
Crystals - 3 points each
Shards - 1 point each
The gatherer with more points get 2 Gordian Furnitures introduced in patch 3.05, your very own steam powered writing desk and chair (check the video). But that's not all, I will harass…… I mean, I will ask nicely to some of our most beloved members for some mat donations, and craft some cool stuff. These points can then be used to bid on these things (including the first place, getting first will give you the furniture AND the points to bid).
Every shards/crystals/clusters donation starting today 6pm EST to August 31 6pm EST will be valid, but here some tips:
Try not to donate 10 times a day, put some shards/crystals/clusters together then donate, this way we can keep track of your donation. If you have the time, send a /tell for me or Amaya, or a moogle mail about your donation.
As soon as people succumb to my incessant….. I mean, decide by themselves to donate the mats, I'll post more prizes and initial bid value.

Hey Folks. Gorpo here!
83,550!!!
That's the total number of shards/crystals/clusters donated in the Gathering Contest! O_O
We definitively steped up our game, and our crafters have enough crystals to keep glamours, food and all sort of good stuff on the FC chest.
Thanks to all that participated! I will post the final results (and prizes) tomorrow, but you can check the google sheet now.(https://goo.gl/K5d6pR)
