Free Company House: Weapon and Armor Display

[Hvinire]

We got an update from the Housing Supervisor about another way to decorate your humble Free Company abode.

The team is looking into display stands for many of the flashy weapons you have earned throughout your adventures!

Not only that but they're also hoping to add mannequins of each race or a means to change race settings for your mannequins within the settings so you can see how some of your best armor looks on each Eorzean body!

How is this going to work? Do we craft the weapons and armors to place on the mannequins or is it from our Armory Chests?

Yeah, I'm curious too. Would it be a rack for each individual? When you have dozens if not hundreds of people in some FC's, this sounds kind of... potentially troubling.

Doesn't matter only the people in charge of the FC and the FC housing get to tinker with it... I really dislike the fact that normal housing is not coming out first. Basically ALL the housing features that are about to be released are for only a very small % of the ffxiv players??the rest of us get to sit back and hope! wish! and twiddle our thumbs while that small % gets to do what we all want to do...

You do know that you have an option to start your own free company and get your own house, right? If you're sitting back twiddling your thumbs, then take that time you were gonna waste with thumb twiddling and instead get busy, it's not easy but get to work and you can have those things that you are complaining about. Wife and I started a free company and we are saving most of our gil for the housing, we first made sure we bought all the +1 lvl50 gear/weapons/accessories for our ALTs lvl50 jobs (plus each ALT is taking WHM to lvl50 so geared up 2 jobs per ALT,) we have 12 characters between my wife and I (10 real characters and 2 mules) all on the same server, that cost a pretty penny, a few million gil total, if I remember correctly.) After we did that, we started focusing on saving all our gil for the FC housing. The small house will probably cost around 850K so we are estimating that the largest houses cost 12-20 million, so we are just saving near every penny we have to get it (which means barely ever using teleport, it adds up after a while, wtf was SE thinking making teleport cost gil instead of anima, seriously, horrible idea. It should be anima first and once your anima runs out, then it can cost gil until you have enough anima to teleport again.)

You mean all of the past armour pieces long discarded because they cannot be stored in our armoir?

Learn from your mistakes, throwing away any U/U gear/weapons is a big no no. We all have PLENTY of storage, I'm legacy and I have more U/U and dated gear than I could count and I'm always getting drops and chests from hundreds of leves, yet I don't have any storage issues what-so-ever and I've also kept all useless event items from 1.0-1.23, like all the colorful eggs and dodo roasters and all fireworks and all that crap, yet still no storage issues. I have every job leveled on my main characters, lowest would be lvl20 on with a few 50s in there, so I have full gear for all the jobs and extra gear I keep just to wear for fun and I have multiples of the same Aetherial gear, yet still no storage issues...

I'm thinking you guys that have this problem aren't spending any time on item management, especially those that rushed to endgame and never do anything else except endgame runs, etc... If you don't balance your time, your character will become a mess and you will be forced to do things that you should never do, like discard U/U gear/weapons because you don't understand that the armoir is NOT for anything but event gear and special rewards, not only that but they do NOT update it when there is a new event, I think they do that so people don't just get the rewards and then put them away immediately, they want us to actually consider using the gear for a little while before allowing us to store the item in an event storage box. It is the same as FFXI has done since the beginning, you cannot store new event items until the next significant game update.

...throwing away U/U armor because you can't store it... ROFLMAO

Eh some of us only have one toon you know.

I'd assume it would be somewhat similar to the FFXI style Mannequin system (or better, hopefully not worse lol.)

Maybe like Runes of Magic? All you had to do there was click on a mannequin and drag armor to the same corresponding slot on it as you would like your character. It wasn't complicated.

been hoping for this so i can display my primal weapons

[Nahara]

I would really like to see some kind of bookshelf for displaying the many arcanima grimories we can collect. It would look really weird to have them on a more traditional weapon rack or wall mount.
