A few questions for returned player

[Enkidoh]

Welcome back!

1). Sadly you cannot log out inside your room in a FC house and reappear back in there when you log in next time like in the Inn Room - you will automatically appear outside the house when you next log in if you log out inside one. I assume it's because the house interiors are temporary instances, but I'm not sure. Luckily though FC houses are classed as sanctuaries though so you do still get rested exp if you log out inside one.

2). You can have up to two free retainers by default, but you can now also hire more by purchasing them outside the game through the Mogstation. From what I understand, you can hire up to an additional six retainers, making up to eight in total (2 free and 6 paid). Each extra retainer on top of the default 2 costs an extra monthly charge to hire however.

3). The only way you can tell if there is any land available is to click on the entrance to a housing ward or to click on the aetheryte in each city and manually view the wards - lots that are already owned will have the owner's name plus the price they paid for it beside it, but if it's available, it will have no name beside it. Unfortunately there is no easy way to check if a housing area has any available land or not sadly.

Hopefully this has helped.
