The FC
Living Story
Our FC's own story is a living story driven by player actions rather than an overly planned one. You can also help chart the FC's direction by running your very own campaign.
FC goals
We do not aim to be a large FC, rather one where everyone knows each other.
Timezone
All time zones welcome if you can make it to events, which is typically Sat 9pm EST.
RP Hooks
Thrill of the hunt
You are a retired adventurer who misses the thrill of taking down a monster once more.
Or perhaps a novice who wishes to make a name for themselves?
Whatever the case, the hunt sends your blood pumping.
profit
You're in it for the Gil, facing down the fiercest monsters for the right bounty.
Rare monster hides and organs also sell for a pretty penny to the right craftsman.
Or perhaps you want them for yourself...
food
You're just in it to experience a meal you can't find anywhere else.
Gamble with fate as Zizzy cooks up an experimental dish with whatever you catch.
Love it or hate it, it'll be an culinary experience!
Locations
We have two monster hunter lodges - A fishing lodge and a hunting lodge.
Going wherever the hunt takes us!
Balmung, Limsa, W27, P50
fishing lodge
Our FC headquarters is The Cat's Paw fishing lodge, located in the culinary capital of limsa, a melting pot of spices and dishes from various ports. Equipped with our very own submarine for underwater hunts or travel to other ports. And what better way to relax after a hunt, than enjoying a custom cocktail at our steampunk bar.
Balmung, Empyreum, W30, P55
hunting lodge
When Ishgard opened it's doors Zizzy saw it as an opportunity to hunt down new recipes in the cold and harsh environment. Thus, The Cat's Paw hunting lodge was opened! Our original location and main tavern for tavern nights. Critters tend to be fatter in this winter land, and fat is flavor! But watch for the skies, for monstrous dragons also roam the land.
