Suggestion in Pricing New Housing Wards Plots

[Arabian_Wolf]

I would also really like to know where people are getting enough money that the 10 million for a medium house (if you dare wait for the price to drop) is considered chump change and not a massive investment.

I'm sitting at 2.5m at the moment, and facing a lot of expenses or days of farming to get my master crafting books. Also the master II books from ARR, never got around to those.

It is hard for people to tell you their gil making secrets, because at 2.0 release they told some and the prices for items they unveiled plummeted to the bottom.

You can start crafting and invest in that, and study the MB market and find a niche item you can make steady gil from.

on my server lvl 50 gatherer stuff sells for lots of money, volcanic rock salt sells for 3k gil and you can gather 35 of them every hour, that makes 100k gil per hour for zero effort

same with darksteel ore, gold ore, thav mistletoe etc., most of them are 1-3k ea and you can gather 25-35 per hour

getting a gatherer up to 50 is also nearly zero effort

Gil varies from server to server.

But really, i wouldn`t treat 10m as "change" on any of em. Still, is pretty obvious that new housing will be more expensive, i bet to see mid houses arround 80 mill, +120 for mansions and smaller ones right at 30m

All the suggestions for making money that I see thrown around involve taking money from one player and giving it to another; I am more curious where the influx of money into the economy is located. There has to be SOME place where insane amounts of gil are created in order for people to end up with maxed out gil on two retainers as is the case for one crafter on my server. Those two BILLION gil has to come from somewhere originally.

Hopefully it will be adjusted based on current economy (Price being raised).

Don't want it to be the same price as when personal housing was released.

Otherwise all plot sizes will be taken on all wards 30 mins after new wards patch is live.

They could you know... make housing wards dynamic and add more dynamically with scale based on demand. That's one of the best things to do as a developer. Auto-Scaling.

You mean gil generating as I take from your post.

It is variety of stuff, not only from a specific source, From my knowledge one of the ways I'd say allagan pieces you can choose from quest rewards (especially allagan silver pieces and above) are one of the ways to generate gil when you trade the m to NPC vendors, among other stuff I can't recall at the moment.

And those gil capped players, I believe RMT is one of the reasons.

That is what I hope, but the system need to be extremely active as if it mistakes it will be housing crisis all over again when the prices are set low.

Quest rewards, roulette rewards, mob kills, selling things to NPC's. You'd be surprised how much it actually adds up when you have thousands of players all doing the same things. For example, completing Leveling Roulette as an Adventurer In Need creates 9000 brand new gil and injects it into the economy.

RMT typically abuses mob kills to generate gil en masse through the use of a large number of bots.

Well untill they make instanced housing I have no chance to get small house (could buy medium a few times, but I wouldn't be able to make it cozy and nice) because someone will buy them all 10 minutes after they will be released anyways, last time they released it I got home 4 - 5 hours after the servers were up and there were no small houses available anymore.

I'm fine with that; but no matter how high you raise the price houses will STILL sell out quickly on big servers. The poorer will simply miss out. The rich will have an easier time buying out all the small plots and reselling them. Lol
