Room decorations as drops?

[Maero]

Hmm i can get behind the idea as my retainers are too lazy to bring me housing items anymore, lol

Only if they're additional drops and not "instead of" drops. Loot tables in HW dungeons are absolutely stupid with how many things they have per chest already (and made worse by how often every side chest has garbage instead of loot).

Yes exactly additional drops i mean who wants a plush of a boss you beat or maybe a fat cat? or maybe a cool rug of a monster or boss of that run or hell maybe it's head? or poster? really anything i mean SE did go the way of PSU when it comes to setting up your room so why not ^V^

Would be useful,my retainer always bring back the fishes .. She's not even fisher ...

You can get mats for furnitures from dungeons and trials already.
Not exactly the same what OP want, because there is still work to do to get the furniture, but similar enough.

Well not everything needs to be gated behind crafting right? i craft my self but it be nice to get some really cool room stuff by doing runs lol hell it may keep ppl doing runs longer :P

you can also sell the mats and buy the finished furniture with the gil (if you farmed and sold enough mats) in the MB.

Think someone's probably beaten me to it, but isn't that what retainer quests are for?

Make them really awesome. Also, make them untradeable/unsellable. Watch the forums burn, as SE once again rubs in peoples' faces how few of them can actually obtain a house, even if they have the money.

"Well, gee, I just got this great, rare, untradeable furnishing. Would be nice if I had something to, you know, furnish."

I think you're idea is neat, who doesn't love getting the occasional rare vanity item from dungeons? I know I get excited to see a pet drop, but I think a lot of crafters (myself included) are worried that crafting has only a few roles in FFXIV and one of the few things it does excel at is making vanity items (glamours, pets, furnishings) so the idea of taking some of that away from them doesn't sit well. So I agree with Nalien, if furnishing items are going to drop from dungeons I would rather it be the mats and keep crafters in the loop.

The idea would work if housing was more common. As it stands now, only a handful of people out of a ton have houses and if you are one of the many who don't have one, getting a piece of furniture as a reward in a dungeon is a slap in the face "Hey, see this niiiiice chair? If only you had a house to use it in!" That's why a lot of people hated that one seasonal event that offered nothing but furniture because if they didn't have a house, then there was no point in getting the items.


Not to mention that you couldn't really sell the furniture drops for a good chunk of change unless the drop rate was pre Atma numbers.

This is why i said they can be like minions drop rate some minions easy sell for a mil and such. And once again getting a room it self is not very hard :P find a good fc ask about rooms move in done deal
