Noob Question

[Helyon]

I know housing is impossible to get but how does one know what plots are going to be demolished soon? I hear people saying they are camping out but how do they know where to be?

Also is there a way to check available plots besides running into the housing zone and flipping through it there?

The simple answer is you don't know when houses are going to be demolished, with the exception being the first batch of demolitions that occurred roughly 45 days after patch 3.1 was implemented.

You can check plot availability in each major city Aetheryte, Residential District Aethernet (you need to have unlocked residential districts for that area first).

Thanks! Didn't realize I could just use the main Atheryte so that makes it better...but of course no Small plots. Guess I will check daily and hope something opens up!

People who really wanted to get a house on the first demolition day didnt just stand in front of any house, hoping to be successful. They spent a lot of time in the last weeks to figure out, which houses will propably get opened. They started to observe houses. For example, if you never see the owner going in and out and if you find a christmas tree in november in his house, you can trust in, that the owner hasnt been there for months. Then you can take a look on the community page on the ffxiv homepage and if you see, the owner is still lvl 50 for example, you nearly have a guarantee, that this house will be available soon. The people, which were waiting in front of this houses were more successfull on 12.25. then the other ones, standing at the aetheryte, because they lost time.
