Sailing the Aetherial Seas

This was a new find for me! Ever want your very own apartment in the Crystarium (that isn't instanced?). Look no further—you even have a nice view of the Wandering!

(photos 2, 3 & 4) - Akyaali - 16.4, 34.2

Cozy little place to (try to) keep warm from those frigid Coerthas winds!

The catch: you’ll need to progress the Stormblood story because there are a few prerequisites (which you can find here). Pro tip: save your Allagan pieces from quests etc to fund your efforts.

Ohhh, this was an exciting find while I was grinding out FATEs! Just past the stronghold sits a whole-ass ship just waiting for some piratical RP adventures. It’s nestled in the cave formation under the cliff. Think The Inferno, One-Eyed Willy’s ship from The Goonies.

Tons of tables and chairs over the space of three floors, packaged in the clean minimalism Hingashi aesthetics is known for.

I get quite excited when I stumble upon a place with perchable platforms, and Foremast is one such place! All kinds of bridges, landings and jetties for your piratical (or lawful nautical) needs!

There’s something I really like about the giant deck on the front of one of the buildings, and the crates set up like seats in front suggest that the resident miners use it for a make-shift stage or meeting spot.

Need to question someone away from prying eyes? Look no further - only the cold, stone walls will bear witness to whatever happens in here. Even better: there’s only one way out.

Perfect spot for a military outpost (obviously), but some of the empty rooms could easily function as proxy locations for other places like Ishgard or Mor Dhona.

Nestled within the delightfully eerie Dimwold, this is one of the few NPC-less, enterable houses in the game that I’ve found. Perfect for hunters, hermits, or just your regular everyday Rhalgr-lovin’ Highlander.

All in all, a  fun little spot for a travelling caravan, miner camp, band of merchants... oh, and there’s a handly  little cave for all your smuggling needs.

Vagabond looking for a place to lay low for the night? Just need a break from the relentless desert sun? Take a load off on one of these premium wooden crate seats.

Looking for a place to fence some goods? This unassuming nook might just suit your needs.

You’ll not want for chairs, benches, tables, or anything else you’d expect of a relaxing waterfront paradise. The shady trees of the Black Shroud will protect you from the sun, too!

A lovely set of “landings” could be a colourful and elegant place for some RP! Requires flying in the Shadowbringers Il Mheg zone.
