housing for the poor

[kyuven]

if you want a house, save for it. do what it takes to get it.
Now, if you're complaining about a lack of PLOTS, that's one thing, but a lack of funds is a non-issue in a game where just running a dungeon can net you a few thousand in gil drops, and more if you sell droppable items.

I only pointed out that someone with Goldsmith 50 as their main class shouldn't have money issues at all. On my server, a goldsmith can stock all 40 slots on two retainers in the morning, and come back in the evening to half a million gil from sold goods.

These are my favorite come back because it completely negates the truth. You want something, you work for it. If your life is so chaotic that you don't even have 30 minutes to farm sealant then I wonder you even have time to play the game at all. It's not an issue with time but a lack of effort.

FYI, I wanted a house and spent almost two months farming beast man sealant to buy one. I didn't spend more than 30 minutes a day farming them so "life" wasn't an issue.

So he's prioritizing life outside of the game over earning enough money to buy an in-game house? Cool, great decision! He must feel good about that. Oh wait, no, here he is complaining.

Anyway, yeah, free company rooms are cheap enough for anyone.

And those people are exactly the sort who can spend an hour crafting junk and tossing it on the market boards, going off to work or do whatever for 8-12 hours, and come back to a pile of money from sold goods. If you've taken the time to level a crafting job to 50, you should be able to take advantage of it and make money on a regular basis.

No. Housing for the rich only.

There's an issue with supply sure, but if you can't afford a Small plot, you can't furnish the damn place... I'd honestly rather have an unowned plot, than have a plot owned by someone who cannot afford to furnish the place...

I keep getting housing items from events

And possibly Retainers?

Still, that's not really a lot of furniture. I had a lot of such furniture lying around, the vast majority I have not used simply because rooms would look nonsense as a result. A house with little more than a Valentione's Cake, a chair with no table, and seven inkwells in it seems somewhat wasteful.

I see the price of housing as a check system; If you can make that much money you're likely in a very good position to furnish the house well (most of my Gil came from crafting, most of my furniture I've crafted myself). If you can't afford a house, then the plot would likely be wasted and sparsely furnished.

[Issachar]

As I've rarely broken a million gil my chances of owning a house at the moment are really slim. What if you bought the house on a kind of credit system, you pay a deposit which allows you to put downa few furniture items and the more you pay off the more items you are allowed to place. Eventually once you've paid off your house you could move up a tier and upgrade and start again.

Free Company private rooms are basically poor people housing.

If your having trouble making money - make those glamour things. My friend is a goldsmith and just chucks up those level 1 glamours and makes millions easy. People are fashionable in Hyperion...
