Housing expensive

Why is housing so expensive? I was wanting to get a house with my fiancé but when he told me the prices it was a downer because I enjoy getting things like that and I haven't really found a good way to make money. If anyone has any good ideas about making money please let me know

3m is sufficient to purchase a small house, according from many posts i read from other players,
just play more(ie. unlock all daily roulettes and play them daily), spend less(ie. don't buy any crafted gear)
and sell fast(ie. sell item fast on MB), then you should have enough gil in 2-3months.

Pretty much that, although on balmung the smalls start at 5m and ive only seen a plot open for a small "once" in 2 months.

Buy cheap gear when lvling from shops, use dungeon pick up gears instead, pick up some kind of gatherer/profession
Originally i started fishing/cooking, was crap.
Started goldsmithing/mining and made 2 mil just this week "while" leveling to 50 doing pretty much only ore mining and ingot crafting from ores along the way.
hitting up some botany now.

FC houses are designed to be expensive. Multiple people within the FC are "supposed" to put their money towards the house. 5mil may sound like a lot for you, but if you get your FC mates to pay towards the house, it's easily affordable. 10 people, each paying 500k is more manageable than just the leader paying 5 mil.

This, it is specifically called "Free Company Housing" and is intended to be purchased by groups of people pooling their money together although some rich players use it as their private house. Personal houses will be introduced sometime in the near future although we don't know yet if two people can share a house. It will be interesting if they planned for that what with the wedding system being added probably around the same time.

I wanted personal housing like in ffxi where I can decorate it the way I want without a free company involved. That's one of the things I liked about ffxi is that it was my private housing where I could decorate it how I wanted to and even garden in there.

We're getting personal housing within the next few patches. It's "supposed" to be affordable for one person to buy because...they're personal. SE has not released any info about what it'll cost (as far as I know). You can buy a personal room in the FC house for 300k, but I dunno if you can allow other people to decorate and stuff.

You can not. Not yet, at least.

Well you know what i already pay 15 bucks a month for my subscription plus whatever extra you want to buy they have a store? And i hope they add personal housing because personally i dont want to socialize with 12 year old kids who tell me how to do my job when i'm the one who pays for my account. And i've started telling people whenever they try to tell me how to do my job do you pay for my account? Seriously why would i want to socialize with ppl like that? And these ppl are in the Fc's that we dont want to join just because we want a personal house.... This game hmmmmmm

She posted an angry reply to a year old thread about something that's already been resolved.

So I'd say "yes".

We'll have her "Oh, when did that happen?" reply Summer of 2016.

3m is not enough on some servers. They start at 4.5m on Hyperion.

Whereas in other games you can get your house right away and then sink all that gold/gil in actually engaging in the housing system. >_> It amazes me that so few people realize the design flaw in FFXIV's housing.

Ya i'm that good i play with my eyes closed lol. I just dont know how to make money in this game besides crafting. Definitely not like ffxi where you can farm and do other things to make money.. But i guess wow players wouldnt understand that

Selling carry runs (must have a static)
Spiritbonding (must be able to craft/meld your own sets)
Gathering (must invest in gear)
Growing and selling Krakka roots (must have a mansion, otherwise profit is small)
Ventures (must pay $ for additional retainers and need to level them first)

Because this ISN'T FFXI. This is XIV. Different game, different system. Please, learn to understand that. WoW players are not even to blame for this. You've been complaining multiple times that housing is not like XI, because this isn't XI. It's XIV.

You can earn plenty of money doing the challenge log(long way though) and running dungeons. And then you have the things Nyonmyan have said. You can even hunt some monsters for skins. As the skins are needed by 3 and some are selling for a lot.

So because we know what we're doing when you don't, we're "wow players"?

Those of us who aren't snot-nosed brats figured out how to make money and buy houses. Ever hear of playing the market? Works in every game. Goofing around with it, I made 12M in around 3 weeks, which paid someone to relinquish a small, and left me enough to buy and fully furnish it.

Come make some money for me then, but just because someone complains on here doesnt mean you need to answer, why dont you keep your snot nosed opinions to yourself.

You're the one who responded to advice with an insult (ironic, you accused us of playing an inferior game for playing this one better than you are). Despite your highly abrasive attitude, people HAVE been giving you very good advice, but you seem more interested in complaining than in actually taking that advice and solving your problem.

Why don't YOU go play WoW? I hear they give you a fort, these days! Or, if FFXI was so much better, go play that again? OR you can put on your big girl panties, take the advice we're practically spoonfeeding you at this point, and play the game.

Seriously, play the market board. This game is full of people with more Gil than sense. I can buy a pair of boots from a vendor for 12k, and hock them on the board for close to 90k. My 2 year old could do it.

Instanced housing dimensions like Rift, would make ffxiv the best. Affordable, creative, indepth, enjoyable,every single one is unique, and player created...literally.
So sad they chose to be one of the worst (when it comes to housing I mean) :)

Its people with bad attitudes like you that lead towards a toxic community. most of the time its only people trying to help you be better. Sometimes they will be douchey about it, but not usually. Be nice and others will be nice. Be mean and all you do is ruin other people's enjoyment. Your $15 a month is just as valuable as mine.
