Your Tactic for New Wards

So, I am on the fence between trying to relocate to a large in Shirgone on Tuesday or going for a Mist Large.

My gut tells me that the probability of relocating to a large in the mist is way higher than Shirogane - but then it's not a shiney new Shirogane house.

Anyone else having the same dilemma? I don't want another gut-wrenching 4.1 housing experience lol.

I'd focus more on which one you like more aesthetically. From what I hear from Shirogane owners, the interior can be difficult to work with as it's not neutral colors. I get Shirogane is the hot new thing, but I have a Mist house, and I love it.

Mist > Shiro. Oustide and inside. The " Shiro is the newest. " is exaggerated and to me not a good enough reason to pick it. I feel stuck with an Asian theme with shiro houses, which isn't bad, but I prefer Mist over all. Again this is all preference, but the Mist larges are better than any other. The yards and space around them cannot be beat. Shiro larges you're facing the wrong way, but I could live with them of course.

Go look in both mansions. I love shirogane, but I found the Glade mansions had my favourite interior. Also the Green/Red/Purple aesthetic of shirogane houses looks like Ugly Christmas and reeeeally limits the furniture you can make look good (if you'll notice, a lot of the nice shiro house pics have heavily edited colour filters lmao-- we all know it doesn't look that good in reality!).

I didnt have an issue with mine i went with the masonwork wallpaper upstairs with an offical office theme and the downstairs with the cottage wallpaper relaxed residence theme and dont think the shiro interior looks bad aside from the stair case that has a green triangle but thats easily covered.

Over all I preferred the weather and sun lighting in Shiro more than the other places and since I take alot of outdoors pictures that one. XP

So in the end OP, pick what you want :3

Oh for sure! I know some people manage a nice look for them. But you'll notice those are both very neutral walls to choose. Could you imagine how most of the coloured wallpapers look???? (I know, I tried with a small house me and my sis had. Eventually we gave it away to a friend 'cause we didn't like any of the colour schemes we tried with it, XD). It is unfortunate though, because I love the area aesthetic. Lavender beds is a decent second though, so is why we're hoping to move the FC house there. X)

My FC's strategy: Ignore Shirogane since even though I and my FC mates agree it's shiny and awesome, everyone and their mog are going to be trying to purchase/relocate to the new wards. It's our first house purchase so we don't want to have to stress over whether we can get one or not during the Great 4.2 Land Rush™.

We're going to scout out the others this week to see where we want to go and then plan to grab one there. Hopefully a medium if we can raise enough gil in time, but a small will work until we can upgrade later. :D

We decided to go after the less popular Lavender Beds or Goblet, because to the FC as a whole, it doesn't matter where we live as long as we're together. As long as we get a large, it'll be a win! So I'm going after LB first, and if I get unlucky there I'll shoot for Goblet.

Just to clarify since SE hasn't been very clear, but private owners can still relocate? Also if they can which district would fit a tavern themed house best? I have a small in shirogane and wanted to upgrade to a medium.

As long as they don't further change the functionality of things before the houses go live, yes private owners can relocate. As for a tavern I'd personally say LB/Mist. LB has that need deep woods tavern feel while Mist you could go for the seaside tavern look.

make sure to mark yourself as busy when buying the house. Having opposing guild members spamming trade windows right before the purchase opens up can be annoying.

It very much is which is why I walled off the outer walls of my house. It took about 25 walls just for the bottom floor, but it looks much better.

Thanks for the reply dusty. I do use alot of glade furnishings so maybe I'll go for lavender beds.

I really love the location of Plot 30 ( i think ) in shiro but i agree what people been saying about the interior. It looks like a hell to get it look good. I currently live in Goblet (private) and have a Large in Mist. I don't know where i wanna relocate but i know i want to upgrade to a large for private house.

One of out tactics is gib 50 mil to each member and go scout on random places to relocate on a mansion.

I'm planning on grabbing a small mist house on the shore, if I don't get that I'm just gunna head back to my goblet house.

Just make sure they're very careful about which plot they swap especially if it's early morning for them. We had someone swap their personal plot (still not sure if something bugged or they were just tired). Luckily this system wasn't in place at the time and we were able to reserve their old plot and fix the situation, but someone would probably be losing their plot if it were to happen now.

I literally see no difference between the interiors - what am I looking for exactly?

All the pillars are different based on which district. Also the top and bottom sections on all the walls are different based on district. I believe she's talking about the red/green at the top and bottom of houses in Shirogane. As far as walls go, I prefer Mists or Lav Beds. As far as districts go though, I prefer Mists or Goblet (I like the desert with waterfalls and hot tub).

Hmm, I had hardly noticed. I think I'll go for Goblet as I did have a Medium one before I love. Lost it when a family member died and I had to travel home to be with fam :/

I'm planning on moving my fc house to a nicer spot... same size but better view

Well our main goal is to get mansion via relocation. In case we are not able to, something we already considered, we will get a medium one, in case this one fails as well (since my server is really populated), we will just buy one. Gil is no problemo. But i really hope we can relocate simply.

My fc already decided we don't give a flying flub where we locate to as long as it's a large lol.
