Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[mokarran]

I dunno if it's been mentioned before (I'm sure it probably has) but can we please get a wallpaper that's just a single, solid, dyeable color?

Crazy patterned wallpapers are nice and all but I'd really like a solid color...

I would like a gardening house. Big room, lots of space. Maybe buy a room like a private chamber but cheaper and only you can give permission to certain people to help tend to your plants.

Could we set alarms on our chronometers? I'd like to be able to set a time (Eorzean time) to be alerted while I'm in the house caught up in other things like crafting. It would be extremely helpful to get to the hidden nodes on time.

Also, I know I've already mentioned this, but while I'm on the topic of clocks--Could you please make a cuckoo clock that has a chocobo that comes out and kwehs every hour? It would be so cute!

Here's some more furnishing suggestions!
I don't need a lot of functionality in these, they just need to look good.

(Indoor Furnishings)
- A Magic Pot, as in the creature in Labyrinth of the Ancients and on the Isles of Umbra. A lamp, statue, or the real thing, whatever it takes.
- A wastebasket. This was one of the first furnishings that one could obtain in FFXI, or at least one of the first I got.
(Tabletop)
- A set of red wax candles. Similar to the ones found throughout Tam-Tara Hard Mode.
(Wall-mounted)
- A framed adventurer's certificate.
- A group portrait of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.
- Grand Company recruitment posters, using the designs from the Lodestone posts about the GCs.
- An Imperial propaganda flier, possibly in two flavors: original and defaced.
(Rugs)
- A bearskin rug. We have bears now, and their pelts go great in front of fireplaces.

I only have one crafting class to 50 and have not obtained any master recipie book yet so I may be missing out one some furniture (I don't know if they have any), but I am struggling to find a decent flooring. More carpet options would be great.

master recipe doesnt effect your housing furniture recipe. You get all housing furniture recipe as a lvl 1 crafter, you just cant make most of em because you dont have enough stats required

Just got my small house (solo FC) and kinda disappointed at the limited exterior "furnishings" available. Really like to see things like a Koi pond with 2-3 fish swimming around, trees and bushes that flower based on the in-game season. Other "natural" landscaping options (not a fan of the game themed monuments, striking dummies, etc) - I'd love to just have a nice garden.

Being able to set your home point to your personal room. Would be an extra incentive to have a personal room and be great for people who miss having their mog house as their home point in ffxi.

Would very much want:
Not being kicked out of the house and room upon logging/exiting duty.
Able to customize the vendors' gear.
A watering can that can water an entire garden at once.
Better visibility on the gardens so people can know that a plant needs watering or can be fertilized without actually clicking. Like if it hasn't been tended recently, have it grow weeds or the soil looks baked. If it's been fertilized, make it slightly sparkly or something.

Better UI for chocobo stables

Just a quick mock-up... I hate managing menus, and I like to see more information at a glance. Having the orange rank number to show capped xp really isn't enough for me. I'd like to see the entire xp bar without having to right-click into the details. I'd also like to see at a glance who's got that purple choco, and maybe mouse-over something to see that it's actually Gloom Purple.

I want more alchemy supplies/science supplies. I really want my personal house/FC room to look as much as a laboratory as possible.
Beakers and other equipment would be nice. Right now there is only the microscope and the alchemy furnace (Which does not look sciency/alchemic AT ALL).

Some plain white floor and white walls would also be awesome.

Ooh oooh ooh and floating aetheric geometries in cases, or as pictures, or something
