Question: Ananta House Vendor

Hi guys =)
So my FC wants to have an ananta vendor in our house and I've been delegated the task of doing so ;) I mean, I was kinda hoping that we'd get one anyways XD However, I don't know how to do this ^^"
We've got a mender, melder, dye vendor and low lvl crafting mat vendor already. Can someone let me know how I can switch one of these out for an ananta (I assume 4 is the max for a medium house).

Thank you o/

never assume. pretty sure they upped the cap on them. i'm too lazy to look thru the notes again.

medium house can now have 8 NPCs.

I'm assuming you can buy the Ananta vendors from the beast tribe as a reward eventually. Someone please correct me if im wrong, not 100% sure on this.

Thanks for the replies! ^^

I'll try to avoid it in the future ;) Also, had a quick look on the patch notes and it says medium houses have gone from 4 to 8 NPCs now (as per what youkulm said ^^)

So these vendors are items? Or is it like how the mounts an minions work, where you get an item and then you unlock the actual thing?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just found the vendor bit in the patch notes and it said that they're items. Must not have read it properly the first time. Where do they usually sell these permits so I can have a quick look when I log in tonight =)

You receive a item (such as Material Supplier Permit A-2), and you then treat that as like any other housing item. Go to housing, indoor furnishings (have to be inside the house for it). Then use the permit. Permits are bought with gil (there's also an outdoor expansion of duties permit available for retainers). You then select a race and gender, and then plonk it down (but it may be you plonk it down first then decide race/gender, I don't quite remember)

Thanks for the help guys! =D When you know that you're looking for an item, it's a lot easier to find ^^ Just to confirm as well that it is an ananta beast tribe item.

Thanks again for your help everyone and I'll remember to look this thread up when I get the item and need to use it ^^

The Ananta house vendors are unlocked by doing the beast tribe quests, not sure what you rank you have to achieve with them though.

You buy it as an item, a 'permit', from a vendor. Then you place it in your house, that's it, job done :) .

According to the Eorzea Database the cost of a Ananta mender is one Dreamstaff - so agreed you have to get the mender permit from the Ananta.

As far as Ananta quests go - I'm at level 5. "respected" - and no vendors yet.
but that is when you get the Charmed emote ;)

we might not have it long enough for the rep yet, anyone know the requirement?

if you started right after patch dropped and before daily reset tomorrow (Feb 8) you should reach Rank 6 Honored. Perhaps will be available then.

Judging just from the names of the quests they're locked behind, I would see the vendors being rank 6, Marid mount rank 7 and Griffin mount rank 8.

You can buy the Ananta vendors from the Independent Sutler in every housing ward already.

That's the same NPC who sells all the other permits.

You're thinking of the Allagan Nodes. Ananta is only available from the Anantas

Oh, you're right. My bad. I was sure I read Ananta when I was last time at it.

Can Confirm, Ananta Vendors are available after reaching Rank 6 with the Ananta Beast Tribe

Nice! I've been saving up all my Dreamstaffs (Dreamstaves?) worried that each NPC would cost 5-7, each. Good to know that I can buy the rest of the Ananta rewards now!

For anybody who has them, do the ananta NPCs have a different look for each role or do they all look the same?

They do not. -_- They all look exactly the same, just different names. WHICH IS DUMB. I have a house full of lady snakes now tho :=3

I got mah snekks now... Rank 6/8 for anyone interested in knowing how long they need to wait. I'm going to post how they look because they literally look like the NPC at the BT, so there is no spoilers to be seen. I repeat, they look like the ordinary npc, so they are not spoiler material.

Little bit of gripe now:

They do not respond to you... at all. They wont look at you, wave, bow... nothing.

They're also huge, but that's not really a complaint on my end. ;)

They do put their hand up as if to say hello when you click on them though.

I'll have to go talk to them again.

The housing NPCs tend to do their animation as soon as you set them down, so you might have missed it, then they won't do it again unless you run pretty far from them and walk back up again

Ah that actually works out well for me. I wanted a couple of matching snake lady guards for my throne room, but didn't want to have two NPCs doing the same job to get a matching look.
