How do i not lose items as i get a new apartment?

so was gonna trade in my old lavender beds apartment for a fancy new one in kurogane but i ran into an issue - unlike plots apartments seek have no ‘relocate’ option on them and if i move without figuring out how to save my items, i would lose my massive cover-a-countertop-enough-that-it-looks-like-it-IS-the-countertop collection of 8 or 9 use bowls of the lovely DoH/DoL table food from last year’s all saints wake event which in my infinite wisdom i decided to eat in a manner that they would have an even number of uses rather than just eating 1 and moving on. it on mogstation but that level of a collection easily outdoes the cost of the stormblood expansion and i ain’t made of money irl so i need a in game solution to my issue.

as for what i’ve tried so far- put stew into my lab beds apartment storage [which was successful] went to vacate apartment and got a fancy message saying i’d lose items and they would refund nothing but mentioned nothing about storage whatsoever [i panicked at this and refused to select confirm fearing for the safety of my items] tried to take the stew out in FC personal chambers and FC main area [neither pulled the stew up as being in storage] searched for vendor for stew itself [it that season again right now and the currency i bought it from last year’s vendor with and duty i farmed that currency from both returned so i thought MAYBE i could just farm it all over again but as far as i can make out no vendor is selling it. i checked the alluring peddler who is only selling this year’s stuff and Recompense Officer who only has this year’s werewolf outfit and last year’s Vampire’s Vest for me]

I don’t have an apartment, so I can’t guarantee any accuracy to this, but can you move the items to storage, and then, after relocating, remove them from storage? I’m not sure if that would work, to be honest, but there really isn’t another alternative, from what I can see.

SE should honestly just remove the “will be destroyed upon removal” restriction from food crafts. They removed it from several others; might as well remove it from all items. It’s arbitrary.

any help in figuring out how to get my items safely from my lav beds apartment to a kurogane apartment or better yet experiences of having done so successfully would be GREATLY appreciated. i’m too scared to click confirm without more information as to what will happen if i do

you mean the apartment storage? i heard it gets destroyed along with the apartment is that not the case?

if you mean my inventort only untouched meals can be put back in your inventory. use them even once and that no longer is an option

Umm... Don't the foods not disappear anymore? I just put some food in my inventory and back onto my table, it wasn't destroyed.

Edit: Just saw your most recent post, tried it, you're right. That's silly.

oh! you said ‘relocate’ there is no relocate for apartments only things oh plots

they can’t be put in inventory if used even once

if i hadn’t used them at all this would just be an inventory space issue sadly it’s not so simple

You cannot save anything that's destroyed on pick-up when moving apartments. You have to empty out the apartment and storage beforehand. It's either get a new apartment and sacrifice the explodables, or stay and keep all the goods that'll disappear.

Can a player buy 2 apartments?

I only have 1 so far so I am not sure if you can just buy an additional apartment since players seems to be able to get more than 1 house.

you can actually only own 1 of each type of housing per character. eg 1 FC HQ 1 private chamber 1 personal house and 1 apartment. in order to get more housing then that (which honestly is more than a person needs as is) you need to acquire them on an alt. so no i cannot just get another apartment. i could however try and get a personal house. i don’t have one atm cause i only need 1 room for my crafting zen haven and didn’t feel the need to be greedy and take a whole house and plot to have 1 room worth of stuff but if devs are gonna be discriminatory to apartment holders and favor plot holders maybe i ought to reconsider buying a personal house. cause you know creating reasons for MORE people to try and get a resource that is ALREADY so thin people are raging about not having it is TOTALLY what devs should be doing in this situation [see the sarcasm there?] seriously-they should be doing the EXACT opposite and be FAVORING apartments in order to stimulate growth in unlimited plot types.

Just be aware that the storage is tied directly to each individual type of housing you have (house -> house storage, apartment -> apartment storage, etc) so the items you're trying to move over would still be stuck in the apartment.

No, you cannot. You can only occupy one apartment per character.
