Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[DarkDedede]

I leave my home open to the public but I certainly wouldn't want someone making regular use of my bell if they just happened to find my humble abode a comfortable place to craft on a regular basis.

I do understand your point. An alternative solution would be to grant FC Chest and Summon Bell access to either people on your friends list, or temporary access to someone that you invite to a party. That way the home owner would have more control over who has access. I also feel that this type of access should also extend to house merchant NPCs.

I would love to see an event that offers this tree again. I started my character the day this event ended and I missed it . It would complete my house decor outside. Anyway it could be added to mogstation for purchase? Non marketable of course .

Would be better if they just added event housing items back to their events each year. It'd get messy with people selling used housing items. If it's a personal house, you could try putting up a PF notice saying how much you're willing to pay for a used cherry tree and temporarily give the seller tenant rights to set the tree down. It doesn't always work, but worth a try. Paying more for a tree than you did for the house + plot is a little nutty.

Sorry if this was already suggested not trying to steal anyone's idea but there is no way anyone is going to read every comment on 124 pages, so real free to let me know if it was already suggested. I was out doing my sylph daily as I was running up the tree it came to me, wouldn't it be cool to have sylph inspired housing wards, with tree house homes just like the one we run up for dailies only possibly a bit bigger because that platform at the top is kinda small, & the tents could be for the npc's to stand in. I personally would love this for a future update, what's everyone else think?

1. please consider adding more housing items from GS, would love to have the glowy panels that are on the walls and floor as well as the baseboards ^^

2. the big balloons behind the glass, would like an indoor and outdoor version of those too if possible.
3. also indoor and outdoor item limits need a huge huge boost asap.
4. eastern cherry trees available again plz as well as a variation of those, maybe in a different color?

I would really like to see some more housing designs or glamours like the moghomes, esp if they were of stone or marble like Nymian/Bronze Lake ruins or Amdapuri civilization. Of course Ishgard or Allag Empire designs would be nice too.

Slates

Basically saved yard/apartment/house/fc room layouts that can be called upon to place bound furniture located on yourself and retainers. This way if you get an area you way you like it, but would like to decorate for a holiday/event or try something new, you could always recall things to exactly how they were. If storing this information on the servers would be a burden, store it locally and just have the layout sent to the server when called upon.

Can the restrictions for number of crafting facilities for Private Chambers and Small and Medium houses be removed? The limitation really doesn't seem to have a solid reasoning behind it, since the facilities themselves have an overall minor benefit. They're also much easier to make these days, so people might want to use them for aesthetics.

More trees. Not bushes, trees. More plants in general, really. Not just flowers, but beds of ivy or flower beds (of different styles, and not planters), and in a variety of sizes to help fill space without robbing people of item count.

More themed items - instead of one or two items, I would like an entire spread - couches, chairs, loveseats, desks, tables (side and coffee), plants, beds (single and double), pillars (decorative and plain), baths (large and small), lights, and partitions. If you're feeling super generous, housing skins to match!

Restriction removals - if I want to put a pond in my bedroom, I should be able to. If I want to put a chair out on the lawn, I should be able to. If an item has a limit count, I don't want it to count for a housing item - doubly so if it has a limit count and I can't remove it without it being destroyed.

Make aetheryte crystals and mailboxes part of the outside menu - the same place where you set awnings and fences. These are borderline necessary items, and to have them count against an already limited item count is a little ridiculous.

A housing chest - where I can place just decoration items for when I am not using them, accessible by my tenants and my alts.

More paintings, wall-scrolls, wall items in general. I don't want another painting of a leader - I want landscapes, I want wall-mounted fountains and planters, I want varying sizes (mostly lengths) so that I do not have to use an enormous amount of my limited item slots to make a place feel lived in.

I'm thankful for the orchestrion - but I hate the look. I'd love just a small music box I can place on a table.

Longer partitions, chameleon partions, partitions with arches (in each wall style and a chameleon) or just door frames. One-person baths (no, not showers... though I'd like more styles for those!) and circular baths. Plain baths, decorative baths, even a large wooden basin for the truly cash-strapped!

Curtains that'll fit doors and partition arches. Fishtanks or even fish bowls. Children's furniture - cribs, mobiles, little chairs. Bathroom fixtures.

Housing is my endgame!

Greetings Dustytome,

I would like to request the materials for the large garden pond be changed either to 8 unbreakable rocks, 8 mossy rocks and 8 terminus putty or to large stacks of fewer raw materials. Remove the fieldcraft demimateria from the list altogether. It takes 27 inventory slots just to craft it because the rocks don't stack and additionally I don't see anything to justify more than double the rocks from the regular garden pond or the requirement for fieldcraft demimateria. In addition please add some life to these ponds so they look more naturally placed. Some grass fronds around the edges and some lilly pads floating and some cat tails while a dragonfly hovers around would all go a long way (and THAT would be worth fieldcraft demimateria).

While this adjustment won't make it in time for Patch 3.35, we are planning to make it easier to craft the large garden pond!

It looks like the development team worked their magic and this adjustment is in fact going to make it into Patch 3.35. Details to follow in the patch notes!
