housing for the poor

As I've rarely broken a million gil my chances of owning a house at the moment are really slim. What if you bought the house on a kind of credit system, you pay a deposit which allows you to put downa few furniture items and the more you pay off the more items you are allowed to place. Eventually once you've paid off your house you could move up a tier and upgrade and start again.

If your main class is Goldsmith 50, how come you've never made a million gil before? I was able to contribute about 10 million to our FC's housing fund last fall. Perhaps it's different on your server, but level 40+ goldsmithing accessories sell for an arm and a leg on Lamia, and they sell fast.

I never have an issue and and that is just doing dailies and maps.

300k for an fc room

They have this already, it's right outside the gates of Nald in Uldah.

That would be a small housing plot.

Glamour Prisms sell well. And they're incredibly easy to make.
Used to make 50-150k a day making/selling about 20-30 of them each day. I don't anymore cause i cant be bothered :P

Considering the mortgages would probably be handled in Ul'dah, you'd get raked over the coals on the interest.

There is no reason anyone can't make a million in this game.

I consider myself poor in this game and I've been up to 5.5mil. :P

People are poor because they don't want to adapt.

You can also try farming t4 for the allagan leathers and such and selling them on the Market Board if you are not into crafting. Also, if you are not using Soildery for anything, you can purchase the Solidery Mats and sell them as well. That's what I do but since I have a small plot now I also sell thavarian onion seeds :]

*the feeling I'm getting from this thread*

"He is poor! Kill him!"

Unfortunately Yoshida has already stated that they do not plan to make a credit system for housing, because, quoting his words from Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)

1:15:10

Q: Can you take out a loan?

A: We've been asked this a lot, but there are problems with how it would be collected, repayment, and other such aspects that would just make it too similar to real life, so we're not planning to have this at the moment.

The poor disgust me.

Unfortunately even if they allowed you to take out a loan/mortgage it still wouldn't solve the issue of the fact that THERE IS NO MORE LAND! So even if everyone had enough money for a house there's no land for us to put a house on. We need to push Yoshi-P to fix that problem before fixing the unjust prices. So while it is cruel and unjust to force one person to pay the same amount as an entire FC it is a moot point when there is literally nothing to buy.

if you want a house, save for it. do what it takes to get it.
Now, if you're complaining about a lack of PLOTS, that's one thing, but a lack of funds is a non-issue in a game where just running a dungeon can net you a few thousand in gil drops, and more if you sell droppable items.

I only pointed out that someone with Goldsmith 50 as their main class shouldn't have money issues at all. On my server, a goldsmith can stock all 40 slots on two retainers in the morning, and come back in the evening to half a million gil from sold goods.

These are my favorite come back because it completely negates the truth. You want something, you work for it. If your life is so chaotic that you don't even have 30 minutes to farm sealant then I wonder you even have time to play the game at all. It's not an issue with time but a lack of effort.

FYI, I wanted a house and spent almost two months farming beast man sealant to buy one. I didn't spend more than 30 minutes a day farming them so "life" wasn't an issue.

Naw, poor people drop crappy loot

No. Housing for the rich only.

There's an issue with supply sure, but if you can't afford a Small plot, you can't furnish the damn place... I'd honestly rather have an unowned plot, than have a plot owned by someone who cannot afford to furnish the place...

Free Company private rooms are basically poor people housing.

So he's prioritizing life outside of the game over earning enough money to buy an in-game house? Cool, great decision! He must feel good about that. Oh wait, no, here he is complaining.

Anyway, yeah, free company rooms are cheap enough for anyone.

And those people are exactly the sort who can spend an hour crafting junk and tossing it on the market boards, going off to work or do whatever for 8-12 hours, and come back to a pile of money from sold goods. If you've taken the time to level a crafting job to 50, you should be able to take advantage of it and make money on a regular basis.

If your having trouble making money - make those glamour things. My friend is a goldsmith and just chucks up those level 1 glamours and makes millions easy. People are fashionable in Hyperion...

I live under the Gridania aetheryte. It's nice, cozy plus you have a mb and hair stylist nearby!

It shouldn't be too difficult to make enough for a small housing by now, back in 2.1 things weren't so profitable to get enough for a house. Since you have goldsmith, you can make accessories cheaply and spiritbond them for a chance of red tier IV materia which could easily net you several hundred thousands each. This is the best way to earn gil if you can't find something else lower that you can get a lot money out off. Anyway good luck with your quest to get your personal house in game.

Or...

That's what private rooms are for.

Housing should be as infinite as everything else in the game, then the land plots will decrease in price.
Also so that servers won't run out of space.

Also it's just a game, nothing we have is real, so the only consideration is game balance and fun; you didn't earn anything in this game cause it's just a game that you play to enjoy yourselves.

I keep getting housing items from events :)

Lol, it was an post about an idea :) I wasn't complaining about being poor. I didn't want to get an fc room because I'd loose it if I ever moved fc.

Making the money? Sure.
There actually being a small house plot to buy?
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnope.

And possibly Retainers?

Still, that's not really a lot of furniture. I had a lot of such furniture lying around, the vast majority I have not used simply because rooms would look nonsense as a result. A house with little more than a Valentione's Cake, a chair with no table, and seven inkwells in it seems somewhat wasteful.

I see the price of housing as a check system; If you can make that much money you're likely in a very good position to furnish the house well (most of my Gil came from crafting, most of my furniture I've crafted myself). If you can't afford a house, then the plot would likely be wasted and sparsely furnished.

You can move to Zodiark. There are lots of plots xD

You aren't trying very hard. Small houses are 4 mil and that's not even a lot of money in this game.

Go craft some accessories and spiritbond them in urth's gift and sell the materia. Do this for a day or two and you'll have enough gil to buy a house easily.
