Requirements for Private Chambers
Before purchasing private chambers, players must first attain level 50 with at least one class. Furthermore, players must have attained the rank of second lieutenant in the Maelstrom, the Order of the Twin Adder, or the Immortal Flames.
* The size of private chambers is the same regardless of estate size.
* All estates are allowed up to 512 private chambers.

Pricing for Private Chambers
300,000gil

Settings for Private Chambers
Just like with estate settings, players will have the option to change their room name, edit the greeting for their room, and grant access to other players.

Interior Decorating
Players can customize the interior walls, flooring, and ceiling light of their private chambers.

Furnishings
Players can place up to 50 furnishings in private chambers, with the ability to choose from among all furnishings available in the estate.

Placing a furnishing in private chambers will bind it to you, preventing future trade or sale to other players. Moreover, certain furnishings cannot be retrieved once placed, and will be permanently discarded upon removal.
* Certain furnishings including vendor NPCs and crafting facilities can only be used by the private chamber's owner.
* Depending on server conditions, the number of furnishings permitted in private chambers may be adjusted in a future update.

Vacating Private Chambers
Players must be on free company property in order to vacate their private chambers. Moreover, private chambers must be vacated in order to leave a free company.
* Gil used to purchase private chambers will not be refunded.
* All furnishings must be removed before vacating private chambers.

I wonder where the instance will be...probably a door somewhere inside the house?

There's a Gimp chest in the basement, when you open it there are more stairs going further down.

My question is what happens if you get kicked from a fc? What happens to your room/items and gil invested?

And that's the million dollar question that still deserves an answer. The other thread asking this got derailed heavily by self righteous people talking about how 300k isn't much...... no one debated it, but they needed to see their post and inflate post count.

So it's a 1 time fee of 300k or 300k per room?

Ya my opinion is if you leave you forfeit the 300k because you left willfully knowing consequences. But if your kicked say when you are offline, and you were not expecting it, you lose 300k due to willfulness of another player plus your items and room? I would hope this gets answered

indeed and lets say you can't get kicked once you own a room then? can ppl just troll a fc and say hahaha you can't boot me? this is all stuff that SE needs to make clear

If you vacate it, do you get your gil back? Does it save the room to you so you could put it with it's furniture in a different FC for free? Or do you just lose it?

I'm with everyone else wanting to know whether you can't be booted from an FC this way, as well.

In one of the live letters they answered, that you cant be kicked from a guild, while you have a chamber

and you cant leave your fc until you give up your chamber

I hope we have options to set which ranks of our FC's can or can't create a private room then!

So.... if a player buys a room and goes inactive for a year, you can't dismiss him?

They said they wanted to make it (made it?) so that if FC house is not used for a certain amount of time it will be discarded. Maybe the same will apply to the chambers.

Wait, does this mean we can only pick the furniture for our room from the furniture already used in the house? ._.

Unless they plan on erasing furniture from the FC house if someone removes it from their private room, it's a safe bet they meant you can use FC furniture as well as your own.

This is an unusual way to implement the private chamber imo, I mean you can't kick that person if they own a room in the FC then this means when someone join your FC to harass the members but you can't kick them out because they already built a room in the FC to prevent themselves from getting kicked. Now its permission is a very important thing to consider similarly to the coffer.

Wouldn't it be much better if they make it so the room moves with the player when they leave/get kicked from the FC and then only able to access the room again if they rejoin a FC? Or retain the room but considered "abandoned" until the FC master assigns someone in FC to replace the ownership of the room. Any ways without locking members in that FC.

I'm guessing one room, one time fee, per character.

I'm pretty sure you can but it'll probably be restricted to that one player. Says someone took a "Carbuncle Desk" and used it in there room, it'll be gone from the FC house and no one else can use it.

This, honestly is my main concern. I think the FC Master should still have the power to eject members with rooms from the FC. So it won't seem like troublemakers can hold an fc hostage.

They already stated it's a door on first floor. You can even see it on Defenders of Eorzea video, alongside with new plants and furnishings inside the private chamber.

They said you can't be remove from the FC unless you remove all your Funiture and Private Chamer. So FC Leader can't kick you if you own a Room, it probably a bad design at the moment right now.

That price is insane, first you pay too much for the plot, then I forgot I needed 450k for a permit so I had to go bust my butt more, now 300k for something else geez.

I would of accepted 200k but 300k where the heck is this money going to?

Dungeon, challenge log, market board, doing duty roulette as tank (the role bonus you get everytime, not only once per day)
Currently, 300k can be earned in 1-3 days
