Tips on getting your first house or getting a relocation in 5.35

Make sure you change your configuration to hide special effects and otherwise reduce graphics to avoid lag in potential crowds.

Also, disabling other player names will help.

If you're using a keyboard, you can target then interact with the placard by pressing NUM0 on a standard keyboard while facing it to avoid accidentally clicking on any other player that might show up at the same time. If you're not used to using it, you may want to test practice. If it doesn't work or you're not using a standard keyboard, go to the Keybind menu and check to see what is listed for System - Confirm (will be at the top).

Also can click X (default keybind) and then mouse click but num0 is faster.

Hi, regarding the house prices, what are the upgrade cost? I am only playing this game since March and the pricing does confuse me a bit.

Upgrade costs were included in my original post.

How much gil you'll need detailed here:

Follow that link for a table of costs that cover first time buyers and relocators.

Hello all,

Thank you so much for this information. It's very helpful.

I have an additional question that I found conflicting information on. I am assuming the newer info I found is the correct answer, but asking here just in case:
Will FC private chambers be completely retained during a relocation? i.e. have the same room numbers, furniture left in tact, etc.

Doing god's work with this thread dude, I for one never would've thought to log out inside the wards

Workshop and private chambers remain intact when the FC house is relocated. It was a problem before relocation was added in 4.1.

I didn't see this anywhere - although I might have missed it. If you are relocating, make sure your indoor and outdoor storage has enough storage left for items you currently have placed. I would suggest if possible emptying your storages completely (place those housing items on a retainer or in your chocobo bag or inventory). You won't be able to relocate if the number of items currently placed in your house and yard exceeds the amount of room in your storages - I found that out when a dream plot came open a while ago, luckily I had time to run home, empty my storage and run back to relocate. Housing items placed in your house/yard are moved to your storage when you relocate, hence the need to make sure you have room in those storages so you can relocate quickly.

So I have read all the tips and I get scared with the minute (i really want a house :-)).

If I boil everything down it goes like this:
- Check out what house(s) you want
- Do several practice runs from the local aetheryte (includ. possible alternatives from primary house), best use speed run as using mount costs too much time.

On the day:
- log out in any ward near the NPC
- download patch as soon as possible
- In Europe, Brussels time, maintenance is done at noon, so is it best to start checking
11.30 on if you can enter? Or really only from noon?
- when back in, run to NPC and choose new ward
- In the new ward run to aetheryte and go to your ward and speed run
Click or Num(0) or whatever on placard

Did I miss a step??
Also how do you use elusive jump for this? the jump is backwards, are you supposed to jump backward through the wards?

Getting more and more nervous with the minute.

You got the gist of it. Historically the servers have been booted up on the hour (they know people would be upset if they opened early) but it's really worth consistently checking about 10mn ahead and mashing that in the last 2mn.
With the official launcher, you should be able to refresh by going to the world list then back to the login. Should be a little faster than rebooting the game. Someone else can weigh in here.

Elusive jump would require you to look behind you a split second so the jump propels you forward. Might be harder to do based on your control scheme. If it's a pain just sprint.

Keep in mind that any number of things could go wrong, a slow login could lead to a 15mn queue (why I suggested practicing moving through the character selection menus), abrupt disconnects, etc. etc.. It's worthwhile logging in with friends so that they can guide you to the proper cities/wards that still have plots open in the event you got unlucky.

YoshiP made a point of reminding players during the live letter than servers will not be brought online before the scheduled time on Tuesday because of the new wards.

Do make certain you've downloaded the patch as soon as it's available (usually 2-3 hours before the scheduled end of maintenance) so that's out of the way before the servers come online.

Also, sometimes the game will launch slowly right as maintenance is completed. If you hit Play but it seems like nothing is happening, don't panic. Give it 10 seconds before trying again. Hitting it a second time when you successfully did it the first time will make it take longer for you to log in and you'll end up stuck in a bigger queue.
