Also, if anyone has done the world transfer before, about how long does it take? Minutes, hours, days?
There are small and medium houses available in the Lavender Beds on Mateus, or there were last week when I was scouting my housing location. Of the five medium houses that exist, four were available in at least one ward. Which is too bad, because the fifth one is amazing and I definitely would have bought it had any been available, lol. There are small houses all over the place, though I didn't check to see if any specific plots were available. And almost all of the available plots are at minimum price (typically 8-10m for medium, <2m for small).

The transfer was basically instantaneous, I was shocked. And I moved four characters at once. Definitely took minutes in my case. But keep in mind you can only bring 1m gil per character plus 100k per retainer. If you have more than that, invest in something to sell once you get to Mateus. (You could also try making more characters on your original server, since you can transfer them all at once. I didn't do that myself because making new characters on Gilgamesh was a pain in the butt, but I think it will work.) If you're really looking to maximize your cash, I'd suggest making a character there and scouting around in the market boards to pick some good stuff to buy. Or if you're lazy and impatient like me, just stock up on MSQ coins, which typically let you bring over about 75% of your money but do so instantly. Things sell slowly on Mateus due to the low population, so even though you may end up with far more money, you won't be able to make it instantly.
