getting screwed

[bota456]

I am really starting to hate this RNG timer for buying houses I sat infront of two house waiting to buy them trying every minute or so to buy it with no luck I got tired of the one and went to bed as it was already 3 in the morning for me and the other i had just checked and one person walked up right after and bought it even tho not even a minute went by after i had tried they need to do something about this cause i have been trying to get a free company home for several weeks now.

I don't know what your server is like for housing, but recommend buy a small plot anywhere first (Goblet?) and then relocate to a plot you actually want. Relocating bypasses that RNG timer which is likely what the person who walked up to it did.

Sadly that will cost you a little more money, but it makes life a lot easier!

Were you buying it for FC? New requirements now, if personal your just salty then -.-;

The person that got it after you checked probably relocated their house to that spot. The timer is for a straight purchase and doesn't effect moving/ upgrading your house.

Can you relocate from the same district like relocate a small shirogane house to a medium plot?

That's really not necessary. I sympathize with the original posters. I'm not sure why some people like beating others when they are down like this.

I spent 8 hours in front of a plot a couple weeks ago waiting for what I hoped to be my first house to open up, only for someone to come up and transfer their house to it before the RNG timer expired.

It's an insanely frustrating thing to go through, and the last thing you want to hear afterward is things like this. Don't be a jerk.

I went through it, got some friendly advice from others here, and now I have proudly purchased my first home in Shirogane.

It sucks, but you'll find a plot you really like again soon enough.

I believe you can. At least, someone told me they know someone who did just that in the thread I linked above.

Theres really no limits on relocation. The starting plot can be any plot, any ward(subdivision or normal), any district, any size - and when you find the plot you actually want open you can move over in a snap. Youll get a small amount of the original plots value as a discount on the destination plot(30% of the minimum sale value). As an FC moving plots youll find that your workshop and airship/sub status is unaffected, and private rooms any members may have put up before the move get transfered over automatically as well - gardens are frozen until you re-establish them(if you had something growing it wont progress, but it wont get worse and die either - it just waits for you to put the garden back together) and any chocobos stabled will be ready to retrieve as soon as you place the furnishing in the yard.

This probably won't come up, but mentioning anyway as it's good to know, you can actually only relocate once every 5 minutes. I was trying to do some plot swapping a while back and found out the hard way when I wanted to relocate out of one plot, move something into that plot and then move into that one just vacated... and it throws up an error saying about it must be 5 minutes since your last relocation.

Most people are probably unlikely to ever have that problem, but it's something to be aware of!
