On Excalibur the most expensive plot of land is 312.5M, this price is before any reduction over time. Haukke manor sits on a much larger plot of land with a very large house with a lot of very nice furniture and even "pets."
Just how wealthy would the Haukke family have to be to purchase all of that? Do you think any of the gil was RMT'd?

One day you will queue for Haukke Manor only to find yourself standing in a large orange square, before being forced out with the message, "Cannot enter a construction zone."

They had their own "mansion". Taking in count the price of a large "house". I bet they had like a trillion gil at least. They may be even related to RMT activity...

The question is "how old is the haukke family" it could well be it started small and simply grew. But I think we have yet to see the last of this manor and that perhaps one day it might be different :) Revenant toll is still changing after all ;)

I always knew there was something off about Lady Amandine...you know...other than the fact she tried to kill us.

Didn't the Elder Seedseers of old use to live there?
Guess it was paid for using the people's money. ;) -

12-22-2013, 01:18 PMHumsterMKXWell, not much now. The Soul market kinda crashed lately. Too many ppl selling their souls for Gil to buy land or Gain brownie points for the Random Gods so they get their loot, due to the lock outs.Quote:

Haukke Manor is filled with the souls of banned gil farmers and buyers. Their souls corrupted and forced to give back the gil they've stolen from the economy. Why do you think the monsters were carrying gil in the first place? The house is a cruel reminder of greed and corruption, they got their house at last, but at what price?
They're giving it back, they're giving it all back. -

So yeah... I really wanna know. -

I was referring more towards costs after the initial plot of land, such as construction, furniture, ect. that would come later. The number was just a lame programming joke - its the maximum value an unsigned 32-bit integer can hold.

Based on the title, I came in here to say "not rich enough to buy land in Limsa," but then your post tricked me. I thought this was about lore, and I came in to troll it, and here you are already trolling my expectations of trolling your post.
Well played, OP. Well played. -

Well I heard a rumour that the Haukke family invented pulling out the camera, they must have made a mint when the servers first opened.

Have you considered moogle pelts? I don't think anyone will miss anything if certain moogles go 'missing'. In fact, some people might applaud the forethought.

Well if you've been to Haukke HM you'll see that the place isn't what it once was, its quite run down. None of you younglings will remember patch 2.0 but back in those days Haukke Manor was quite the palace. Bit of a shithole now actually.
I guess my point is that Haukke Manor is really old. I bet that was built way before the thriving city of Gridania was. The land prices would have been dirt cheap then. I think Mr Haukke got lucky with that buy. He's be spinning in his grave if he saw the land prices now.
OP, your question begs more questions.
How much did Mr Haukke sell the manor to Lady Amandine for ?
Did he bang her before he packed his bags ?
Did Mr Haukke know Mr Qarn or Mr Dzemael ?
Where is the kitchen or the bathrooms in the Manor? -
12-23-2013, 10:02 AMbob13bob

The Haukke Family is clearly heir to the Diablo Franchise fortune.
