Private Rooms and One Per Estate Items

[Titor]

Does anyone know if the 'one per estate' items apply to private rooms? There are a few items with this tag I would like to put in my room, but I do not want to lock out the FC from ever using these (Or anyone else in their private rooms). Or will they not be able to be placed in private rooms at all.

Agreed I posted the same elsewhere and just saw this one too. Technically (as in how the code sees it) is our room seem as part of the Estate, or just a door to a different instance. I imagine the same door / "portal" would be needed for the various players so that we don't have walls and walls of doors.

I'm surprised that this isn't a separate instance that could be decoupled from a particular FC house and moved to another. I'm not an FC hopper but with the variety of stories I've heard, enabling a clean break is in everybody's favor. Otherwise, things like- a person leaving on bad terms with unique items (only 1 allowed on estate and can't remove without losing) would have no incentive not to just leave it in their room and complicate things). Maybe the interior would look different if moving from one house type to another, but based on how rarely I transfer I would be fine paying gil for a 'moving company' to convert my couches and other items back into the small square inventory items you use to launch them with, and just made them binding. That way the private room ownership and everything in it can go.

You can only have one in your room but it's a separate counter from the estate. I'm pretty sure that they specifically stated this during the live letter where they announced some of the personal room details.

I'm leaning towards it not being allowed in private rooms. Furnishing items will probably get a new tag on the description that states they cannot be used in private rooms. It doesn't seem very likely they'd allow us free reign so easily.

Did they? I guess I never paid very much attention to that part.

Found and quoted from LLXV:

Q: Will private chambers have access to all furnishings available for the free company house?
A: Yes, they will, so you'll be able to place a vortex couch or other rare furnishings in your private chambers. However, it won't be possible to use garden furnishings. Your private chamber is a room and doesn't have a garden, so naturally you won't be able to use them, but you'll have access to anything that can be used indoors.
