Question on relocation

[Ametrine]

There are still a good 60+ open plots in Goblin (we have mediums and larges open still), and I snapped a really oddly placed home for myself thinking my chances of getting a home at all were so low, I should wait by plot I likely won't fight for.

Anyway, while it has a fabulous view, my now garden themed home feels a little awkward surrounded by open desert canyon and brick. So I looked around Lavender Beds and found a slew of really good smalls I can relocate to with just a bit more money.

ANYWAY, how does relocation work? Is your house just straight lifted up from the old plot and dropped on the new one? I know exterior furnishings get moved into storage, and that relocation is cheaper than outright purchasing, but that's about it.

I'll be moving from a small to another small, too.

When you relocate your house, all of your furniture inside and out is thrown into the store room (so make sure you have enough space for it all). Your housing skin will be "translated" to the matching one. So if you have, say, the Oasis Composite Wall, and you move to Lavender Beds, your house would have the Glade Composite Wall. If you have the special skins, they remain the same. No matter if you move bigger or smaller.

As for the cost, you pay the price of the new plot minus 30% of the minimum value of the current plot. It's a pretty simple process. Once you relocate, your old plot will be placed on a random timer, preventing people from purchasing it for a certain period of time.

As for the cost, you pay the difference in plot price between the plot you have now and the new one. So if the plot you have now was 3 million and this one is 3.5 million, you'd pay 500k. If it's less, you pay nothing, but you don't get the difference back. It's a pretty simple process. Once you relocate, your old plot will be placed on a random timer, preventing people from purchasing it for a certain period of time.

Nope nope nope! You pay the price of the new plot minus 30% of the minimum value of the current plot. So moving from a small house, that's anywhere from 558,000 to 446,400 gil that would be discounted from the price of the new plot. The rest of the info was good though.

Thank you guys! I'll move some furniture to the saddlebag just to be safe when I get some more stuff sold.

I have items growing in my garden, I assume I need to harvest it first?

You can put the garden in your store room and it will suspend the growing, and then you can plop it back out. At least, I'm fairly certain that's how it works. I know flower vases kept their flowers across relocations.

Storage stretches to 400 inside, 40 outside when you relocate, so going from a small to anything else you won't reach that limit. As far as the garden goes it will just go into storage and be in a stasis mode. Everything will still be planted in it, but the growth process will not progress until you set it back down in the yard.

It's all glazenuts, thav onions, and onion princes, so I'd rather wait it our verses losing all that gil to test it @.@

EDIT: Okay, that's really nice to have implemented.

Thank you muchly, again guys.

I have a question about this. A friend asked me but I have no idea. She has a neighbor who has had the same sparkly plants in their yard for weeks now (she's told me she would go check weekly), so is it safe to assume the garden patch can get suspended indefinitely if you put it in storage and then take it back out?

Presumably it would keep ready-to-harvest plants suspended in that state as well, since I'm not even sure that the server could read to change phases on it (from ready-to-harvest to dead).
