Decorate the house would you.

Yeah, this is part of the reason I haven't bothered. Housing was supposed to be something that made me level up my crafters and stuff, but I still haven't. I don't really want to buy too many of them even if it was cheap though, I need that reason to level my crafters.

Trust me level them you wil be happy you did. Its so nice to put several million gil in furniture in your house. While spending little to nothing gil wise doing it. Also quite amusing to see someone pay 50k for a item that only requires 5k in mats to craft lol Also applies to the npc vendors as well, check mat prices first. I just checked on a table npc price 2k mat price 500-600 gil.

I saw a lot of that when decorating my apartments; it's amazing what people will pay for the convenience of the Marketboard. I'll be, and have been decorating my house only with items I've 100% gathered and crafted myself unless it's something that's only available through an NPC. It's not a fast process, but it certainly is satisfying. The benefit of this is being able to make an extra or two to put on the MB and make a little extra cash.

Back the topic of this thread: long as someone is not a flipper or hoarding a house to spite others. Then they free to take as long as they need to decorate. Took me over a week to start on the first floor of my medium and a good 2 months before I touched the basement.

Had it for 6 months now still have not finished decorating it.

I am redoing the first and second of my fc house currently. Once I am done there is going to be a good 2 million gil in furniture between the two floors.

"There are other reasons to own a house besides decorating because SE design the system to be that way."

What other reasons? Please state them all and do you know how easy and cheap it is to decorate a house?

- for an FC, having workshops which gather exclusive minions, mounts, fashion accessories, crafting mats.
- for any house, having gardens which allow people to cross garden seeds.
- to provide a place to hangout for players.

all 3 of those things can be done without decorating, and only the second one actually needs a single piece of furnishing.

oh ok thank you. Yes you are right ..I hadn't thought to garden and not furnish, but if you have a house it's a no brainer to furnish it.

I mean, yeah, after the fact I probably will like having the crafters leveled. It's just so boring to do so! I think I lasted one day last time I tried, granted that was before the leveling them got easier.

I am a bit intimidated at the prospect of fully decorating my house. I want to do it, but I have heard that people have to glitch it out to actually make stuff look good, and I'd rather not do that. I kind of wish they would do some placement qol or something to stop that.

One piece of furniture that doesn't need glitching is the luminous loft. These babies can make any home look marvelous all you need is imagination.

No, amusing is reselling NPC vendors you've bought for 5k (THATS even written on them) for 30-80k xD

Why are you so invested? Why do you care so much about other people's time? You know what would be respectful? If SE could actually fix their system so mostly everyone can be happy that they can get a house. Forcing people to decorate doesn't spark joy with anyone. It's disrespectful as hell

So is gettin a house and letting it rot empty, bc you might as well just get an fc room or apartment. Or stick with inns.

IRL if your neighbor literally has a rotten dumpster as garden and just lets everything fall apart youd complain as well, sooner or later...

Im not saying burn 5441354353 gil on your house, but if you bother to get one then at least do ANYTHING with it or give it someone who yearns for it. Theres so much stuff for free or REALLY cheep... when i was new most furniture was expensive or rare, nowadays you get primal stuff for 3k or even less... it doesnt kill you to place a garden patch, any tree or flower and maybe a well or spring, or pond... anything.

If you wanna deco your house, more power to you.
Past that point, how and how fast people deco is their business.

Unless you want to do it for others, since you claim it's quick and easy. I'd actually love to see you personally message everyone in your ward and offer since the issue is yours.
