Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Many Houses have a balcony, but why cant you place furniture on it? Would be nice to place a bank, some chairs or even stacks of firewood on it =D



Pretty please?

Can we first start with being allowed a way on the balcony with out glitching / hopping like mario up things to it

yeah, that too. I mean there is a door inside the house that leads to the balcony, it should be useable to get there.
(btw, i like the jump riddles to get to places like this XD )

As someone who really likes to roleplay as a more scientific/savant character, I dearly, truly, deeply wish we had more alchemy/astrology related props. Star maps like in the Athaeneum Astrologicum or potions (getting recolored elixirs gets old fast), mortars and pestles and other things we see in the Alchemy Guild in Ul'dah. It is hard to make a laboratory looks... like a laboratory without this kind of props to decorate.

I also wish there was more Gubal Library decorations, like those green round lantern things we find in the dungeon in the second boss arena...

Can we please get more carpets?
Not rugs, carpets.
Like the Manor Flooring.
Everything else is tiles and tiles are cold on my feet when I get up in the morning.

Can we get tatami mats in different colors? Like wheat yellow for example.

Also, with Shirogane housing being the new in thing, please let us have floor chairs too!

And futon bed! (as a tabletop item please)

Housing districts would be improved by changing the menu for the aetherytes within the housing districts. The current housing shortage is a larger issue, and I support prioritizing a solution for that, but once you have a house it is easy to end up isolated from any friends who have houses.

When I access a crystal, I would like it to give me a list of all the crystals on the ward, and an option to "select a different ward" at the bottom of that list. I get a new list to select the ward number, and a final list to select the crystal within the specified ward. I could go directly between any two crystals in the district.

This would facilitate visits to friends houses, and make the experience of having a house more enjoyable. Unless you are lucky during the opening of a new ward, or you buy a plot off a player (which is an offense?), you can't be near your friends. I believe this this feature could help bridge that gap. Thank you.

Customizable Inn Rooms Client side would have solved a lot of issues. Most players just want a place to 'come back to'. To hit a bed, hit sleep and be logged off and log in the same place (as opposed to being booted out into the main section of Apartments) It'd be really nice if people had that sort of option.

Of course, people would still want Apartments/housing to share with their friends Server-Side, but the option of being able to decorate an inn room however you desire client-side would solve most of these issues without even impacting any server stability.

So I actually originally thought about this over on the outdoor limits thread but it is worth repeating here. What about pathways as a decore item that equips to the house, similar to a chimney or awning? There would be a basic one for each house (Riviera, Oasis, Glade, Hingan) and maybe like two or three general ones that could be swapped instead?

This would help ease the item limit for those of us who just want a neat path across the yard but doesn't force itself on those who want something that doesn't just go from edge of yard to front door.

Example, maybe a nice walkway of crushed white gravel for Riviera, one edged with flowers or small mossy stones for Glade, a rich carpet for Oasis, and maybe some pristine tiles for Hingan?

Only part i don't like is the "equips to the house". Because if you use a house glam your SOL. Id like to see one solid walk way though

Defeats the purpose a bit as the point was to get walkway items out of the yard and away from the count.
