Personal House Owners Upgrading

[MizArai]

There is absolutely no limit on workstations in association to house size.

When did they remove that? There used to be a limit on how many work stations you could have based on house size. Large could have all, medium could have like 3 or 4, small could have like 1 (maybe 2).

correction - nekohime is correct. I looked up limits and it's 2 for private room, 4 for cottage (small house), 6 for house (medium), and 8 for mansion (large house).

I think there's been some confusion here between workshops and workstations. Workshops are where you build airships, workstations give you a little bit of extra CP when your crafters aren't at 70 yet. Workshops are the same for all house sizes. Workstations are limited to 2 (private room), 4 (small), 6 (medium), and 8 (large). Players can access all 8 workstations from a medium FC house if 6 are in the house and the other 2 in their private rooms. Workshops are considered much more important for FCs because of the content locked behind them, while workstations are by no means required for leveling crafts and are completely useless for anyone who doesn't craft or has already leveled them.

That's VERY dependent on your server. On Balmung all medium and large were gone pretty much right away.

That's not true, I was online about an hour ago on Balmung and while I didn't see any larges available, there are still mediums open in many of the districts (I witnessed Mist and Goblet personally).

There are still open mediums on my server in the non-Shirogane wards. I didn't expect that so didn't save for it, but I did switch from Shiro small to Goblet small since I found a much nicer view. Plot 14 in Goblet. Right next to the waterfall, swimming pool, has it's own moat as well. Ka-ching!

Shirogane, Mist and Lavender Beds are like most popular housing areas. I wouldn't be surprised about them being taken right away.

As for Goblet, we all know there are sand haters like Anakin Skywalker.

Yo, I got the med in the brimming heart with a view to the pool too (plot 19)! People are giving the Goblet way too much crap, the middle area is 10/10.

People hate on the Goblet, but if they were really that desperate to own a house, they wouldn’t scoff at the chance to buy one there. If it’s between having a house in the Goblet and not having one at all, I’d take having a house.

When I got home from work yesterday, only four of the plots in my ward were purchased. Most purchased in any new Ward in the Mist was 12.

After reading the numerous posts in the forums I am thinking that their real issue is not that gardens and stations are more limited, but rather the size and/or plot location status. It appears the new, first time buyers are most interested in the latter except for the bigger FCs or individuals that enjoy cross breeding. Another percentage of the playerbase like myself, looks for not only planting capabilities but also as a deco-freak, the ability to get creative in a medium+. As the solo house owner of a medium (was in a small for a year), I utilize both plots available and all the deco spaces alloted. I do share this house with family/friends and also belong to a small FC that just relocated to a medium after a year in a small. I am an omni-max crafter and gatherer and am capable of gathering mats to build and send out a sub. Unfortunately, I cannot and have to depend on the FC for this "IF" we can get 3 others on to assist the send. Perhaps upgrading housing with more garden capabilities and workshops might make people happy, perhaps not but it's a start. I know I get cranky when I want to cross breed and someone has the 2nd plot constantly growing Krakka. A 2-story loft type house instead of the single story on existing small plots would help with the space/deco freaks also.

There is, actually. You can only have all the crafting workstations in a large house. My medium FC house can only have 6.
