I got a house?!@

[BucklesTrespen]

So I just snagged a house - not something I want forever in the least - when the new 4.2 houses open will I be able to transfer to a new ward / plot? I read FC leaders get first dibs - but do people who already own plots get to get in on this action?

Like, can I transfer from my small Lavender Beds one to a medium Shirogane?

Also, how do you transfer from one plot to another? I checked youtube and didnt see any videos demonstrating this.

Thanks.

Based on what they've said in the Live Letter, it seems so, yes.

Relocating is actually really easy. You just go up to the sign like you did when you bought that house, but you'll see a new option to relocate house, just click that/confirm the price and that's it, it instantly moves all your furniture into storage at your new house and removes the old plot.

Relocation is not limited to fcs only during the initial release, just fresh purchases. You can relocate to any available plot of any size in any district. This shows it from the live letter when they first introduced it. Not sure if anyone managed to get english screen grabs of the process at all because usually they're busy in a flurry of clicks trying to lay claim to the plot before someone else gets to it.

And I can't say this enough, be very very careful if you have the ability to move both an fc and personal plot when selecting choices!

Congratulations and good luck with your transfer.

Oh wow, so I can decorate now and not worry about having to strip the house down before relocating?

And I can totally go small - medium and just pay the difference?

Hot dang! It's my lucky day

[Elamys]

Yep! Congrats and I hope you have as much fun as I have with the housing system

[BucklesTrespen]

Well I did have a house a year or so ago, but after a death in the family I had to go home for a month (US to UK) and by the time I got back it had demo'ed -- but someone else is enjoying that and at long last I'm not homeless anymore!

This is gonna be such fun!

[worldofneil]

Not exactly. It's the full price of whatever plot you're buying, minus 30% of the lowest price your plot could be worth.

So for a small that 30% figure is between 446,400 and 558,000 depending on what your current plot grade is.

But even if I have a small house and everything in it - when I relocate I pay X extra (money no issue here) -- and then I get a generic version of the Shirogane one?

So small wood house - relocate - large wood Shirogane?

Yep. The special housing skins (moogle, chocobo, merchant wall, etc) will also transfer up as well. Might check the mbs right now if there's any that you fancy as they're rather cheap at the moment since retainers started bringing them back.
