Pasifika's step-by-step guide: Goldfish Bowl

You will need:

1 Sunbreeze festival
1 Goldfish bowl (note that this is not the same Goldfish bowl as the one we're making)
1-??? Super scoops
1 Goldfish set
1 Only slightly over-prized Glass sheet
1 Piece of Lauan lumber
1 Crawler calculus
1 Tiny goldfish
1 Black bubble-eye
1 Friend with decent to very tough crafting skills
1 Linkshell
1-??? Additional friends
Some other items for the craft, like a Bottle of Sieglinde putty, a Bronze ingot and a Light crystal

The list above may not be complete, so follow these instructions to aquire the required materials and resources to get your very own Goldfish bowl furnishing - in 8 easy steps!

1. Wait for Sunbreeze festival. Once it arrives, get your Goldfish bowl and as many Super scoops as you need and get scooping. Tear your gaze off the hypnotic dancing Tarus long enough to get enough fish for the Goldfish set - but don't turn them into points! Be really smart and give them to your friend with crafting skills, so *he*(/she) can get the Goldfish set, because its ex. (It's not rare, so don't worry - your friend can get their own, too! :D Optionally, you can get the set for yourself and take the "risk" with that lvl 10 woodcraft synth, but where's the fun in that?)
2. Check for the price of glass sheets at Jeuno AH and be horrified. D: 10 or even 20 times as much as usually, because of the festival! Check the prices again a couple of times, then forget about it untill your friend with crafting skills (who's keeping your Goldfish set) reminds you about it after a couple of months.
3. Get moving! Keep checking the prices of some necessary items and grab them off the AH when you can! Send them to your other character for safekeeping, because your inventory is constantly overflowing anyway.
4. Realise that there are no suitable fish for sale at the AH and you sold all you had left to NPCs when the Sunbreeze festival ended. Get your Goldfish bowl and that 1 last Super scoop out of storage (Who would throw something like that away?) and very carefully scoop up some fish - don't rip that last scoop! You can get some nice goldfish in the moats in Northern San d'Oria, for example. Ignore the stares as you fish with your scoop, they're just jealous because they've run out of Super scoops already.
5. Buy a Lauan log and get a Wind crystal, then craft the log into a piece of Lauan lumber. Even *you* can do that much, and it gives the finished item a nice homemade touch.
6. Change into lvl 8 WAR/WHM and go Crawler hunting with your friend for the Crawler calculus. Get killed by 3 Yagudos and a Goblin, then ask for a Raise in your linkshell because your homepoint is somewhere far away. Finish your hunt for the calculus, but be more careful this time.
7. Check that you now have all the necessary items for the craft, and tell your friend with crafting skills that you have them ready. When they tell you they didn't mean they're in a hurry about it when they reminded you about the Goldfish set, tell them *you're* in a hurry now that you remembered it. Send them the items ASAP and have them craft the Goldfish bowl somewhere where you can see them - it's a Light crystal synth, so it's beautifully sparkly and shiny. *_*
8. Take the finished Goldfish bowl to your Mog House, place it in your collection with all the other items that have moving/shiny parts and admire it.. the fish really move! Just a little, but they do move...
