    Lost House - Question

    Hello - I had bad luck last year and lost my job and had to put FFXIV on the back burner.

    I think around Christmas I got an email saying they were taking away my in-game house. It was a real downer to get this type of email especially over the holidays.

    I recently was able to return and cannot find where to ask for my Gil and house items. I talked to a lot of NPCs and found one that talked about it I think but has no options to actually get my items and Gil. I sunk just about all of my in game money into my house - anyone know where I can get this back?

    I contacted a gm and part of the response was do ask other players.

    Sorry to hear this happened but bad news

    Reclaiming Gil and Items
    When an estate has been demolished, gil and certain furnishings will be placed in the care of the resident caretaker for a fixed period of time.

    Redeemable from the Resident Caretaker
    80% of the price paid for the estate grounds.
    Indoor and outdoor furnishings that are not destroyed upon removal.

    Not Redeemable from the Resident Caretaker
    The construction permit required to build an estate.
    Furnishings destroyed upon removal.
    Housing exteriors.
    Private chambers.
    Company workshops and any registered airships in the workshop.

    * Players will have thirty-five days to redeem items from the resident caretaker before they are made irredeemable. Items belonging to a free company estate can only be retrieved by members with the authorization to purchase or relinquish land. Items belonging to a private estate can only be retrieved by the owner.

    :'(

    Thank you for the information and also thank you for the crafting offer.

    I'm not sure I will ever buy a house again after losing pretty much all the Gil I've earned already but it is appreciated.

    Sadly I missed that campaign but I wouldn't have been able to log in that month anyway as I need to buy WTFast to log into FFXIV. I live in California but for some reason I can't log into FFXIV naturally. It's the only game I have this issue with and haven't been able to figure out why.

    It's only $6, but it was a very hard year. Happily things are better now

    I also (wrongly) assumed that the game would have mailed my house items back to me so I could pick them up when I was able to subscribe again. I haven't ever seen a housing system work like this in a game before.

    That 35 day limit to reclaim your stuff is pretty stupid. If we were on the same server I could help you out a bit. If it was a small house, at least know that it's probably pretty easy to get your gil back. Just need to find the good ways to make gil.

    I see you have no crafting or gathering classes. Depending on how your server is, even battle classes have some pretty decent ways of making gil. Most of them are probably at level 60, though. Good luck, and I hope this doesn't dishearten you too much.

    I'm sorry. I wish it hadn't come to this. If it helps at all, a lot of the community was very vocally opposed to the 35-day holding time for your gil and furnishings on these forums, but it was still implemented that way. If you ever switch servers and find yourself on Diabolos, feel free to look up my FC or me(alt is Myluria Taelaris, and she's the one subscribed right now).

    In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    That's really nice of everyone and everyone's reply is why I think this game has such a great community. I hope in the future they decide to mail people's Gil / Belongings rather than just break everything - if I knew this was going to happen I would have thought twice about returning and also buying Heavensward.

    That said I am enjoying Heavensward so I am glad I didn't know because I wouldn't have returned if I did. I did only have a small house but Moogle and Carbuncle house items aren't cheap . Hopefully when I get caught up and learn how to make Gil I can get a small house again. I really do love having a home in MMOs and this system was one of the things I looked forward to and hope I get to enjoy it again someday.
