Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Alaina]

How about having a weapon rack/wall mount where you could put your old weapons and shields on display.

On the other side of things, how about a manikin that you can dress up with armor you're no longer using too?

I also would love a weapon rack for old weapons...

Much like these. They already have models they just need to make them usable.

A guest book would be nice. People could leave a name and a rating or generic pre fab comment. Giving people the choice to add their own message would leave you open for harassment. A second suggestion would be adding curtains, would love to see city state drapes or chocobo yellow/moogle white curtains.

Every idea in this thread are wonderful!! I love the fact that ppl are really driven to make housing better.

Copy Rift se...once again I am /praying you allow us to build and create > just dropping someone elses work down and that's that.

Please please take all these wonderful ideas ppl have and let US make it happen, in our own personal way. Rework the core ui and let us build and design unique homes and everything in them!!

Lets change housing from a 1/10 for player creativity and depth, to a 10/10!!

I would like different options for the staircase. Treat it like the chandelier and allow us to change it out. The ones we have now re very limiting.

More indoor plants, I cannot get enough of those XD.

Also MORE SLOTS! The amount of slots we have are just too limiting.

Some new options for exterior fixtures would be great! The roof and wall decorations are fairly limited currently. Here's a few suggestions.

Roof Decorations
Striking Pole/Levinrod: A rod that occasionally crackles with electricity and attracts lightning strikes during rain and storm weather.
Antennas: A lunar transmitter replica or other Garlean, Allagan or Ironworks technology, whether for aetherial or radio wave signals.
Balloons, Kites and Windsocks: Weather balloons or various festive floats, and kites in animal, monster or airship shapes.
Flags and Banners: With designs for each Grand Company, or your Free Company's standard! Don't forget Ala Mhigo, Ishgard and Doma!

Wall Decorations
Lookout Tower: A fortified guard post with installed anti-air harpoon. As a bonus, it's a convenient way to reach the manor's roof!
Deluxe Retainer Counter: A fully stocked marketplace stall (with a canopy!) like those used by NPCs in major cities.
Garden Shed/Pumphouse: An enclosed utility shed for storing garden or stable implements, pumping fresh water, washing laundry, etc.
Magitek Generator: Garlean or Ironworks power generator like those found in various Imperial Castra, with glowing lights and dials!

Edit: Also seconding the curtains and drapes request! An FC member made a comment earlier today about separating spaces with hanging cloth, and some dressing would go a long way to liven up the windows.

I know the option to turn off/down the main lighting has been brought up, but I just want to add my support for that idea. Every single one of my room designs is based around blocking off the main light so I can have a cozy room and it would be amazing to simply be able to turn it off.

I would also love to see partitions for every type of wallpaper, or the ability to wallpaper partitions. I love the wallpapers but I can't ever use them unless I don't mind the partition walls looking different. I would like to be able to create cohesive smaller areas with partitions without being stuck with the three default wallpapers.

50-100 more item allowances at every level from personal rooms to mansions (probably even more for mansions, they tend to look incredibly empty) would be incredibly helpful. I never have enough slots to place little things on shelves and really make it look lived in.

Also, kudos on the little touches like the adventurer's adyuses and the scattered documents added more recently. As someone who generally prefers a realistic, lived-in looking room, I really appreciate that every new housing item isn't a GIANT FLAMING GARUDA SKULL. Mundane little objects like books, papers, mugs, boxes/crates, spare change, keys, jewelry boxes, schematics, and framed pictures are wonderful.

I would love a sink/washbasin for interior furniture!

Our FC tried to setup a private chamber as a functional workshop, stuffed with all of the craft boosting furniture.

The problem is, only that player is allowed to interact with the furniture and benefit from the buffs.

Please make private chamber furniture functional to all FC members, not just the owner of the private room.

Wow I wasn't aware of this, definitely glad to hear because I was planning on buying a private room for an alt specifically for this sort of room. U saved me from a big disappointment !~~

Please create a Rank permission/setting for housing that decides whether or not a person in certain rank can consume food furniture. This would prevent malicious use of them such as clicking them multiple times just to make them disappear.
