How I can try catch house's timer and buy house

Every check 30min or hour?

I believe right now it is random. The reason for this (unfortunately for you) is to stop people jumping on a house as soon as it becomes available. All you can do is keep checking

It's random. If you can your best bet, although more expensive, is to grab any house you can then relocate to the plot you prefer. Relocation is not affected by the timer.

If buying for 1st time,it's random. Like they said, buy any small you can, then you relocate whenever. Timers for auto demo are every hour on the hour, so once you get a house, that's your best bet for sure.

It depends upon the server on how random it is. You could go onto my server and walk up to just about any empty house and buy it on the spot. It might not be the most desirable but the point is you are in something that will let you relocate to a more desirable plot and bypass the timer. It does cost more but if a person really wants something cost is a secondary concern.

Housing sucks in this game. You pay a Sub and should be able to buy a house with that Sub. This game can sometimes be a joke. SE you suck at designing housing.

When one subscribes to the game he/she still has to go through obstacles to complete msq max a job level, get that desired gear set or mount.

With housing, its also provided. SE did not want its players to sleep in the streets.

1st form of housing is the INN, free of charge you have a private space where you can access retainers get haircuts, fix your glam, play orchestration rolls log in log out inside the INN Room.

2nd form (tied) are FC Rooms for 300k Gil, and Apartments for 500k gil.

3rd form are the Plots for 3M small plot, 25M medium plot, 45M large plot, and you need to have some patience just like leveling through the game it will not be handed over that easilly.

So for now just play and see what the game has to offer.

It depends upon the server on how random it is.

I think on your server, I waited around half an hour for a plot in the Goblet. Meanwhile, I'm on Malboro in Lavender Beds going on hour five waiting for a plot to become available for purchase and can't go off to do a buy/transfer because pretty much all of them are on either on the random timer or someone else waiting on it to open up. Since the random timer can't be seen, that means that people like that will spend their time sitting there and waiting, clicking the buttons and spamming their chat log with the "This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase." message all because they want a house, and that's the BEST case scenario because I've seen multiple people fighting over a single plot all because of that timer, leading potentially to escalating altercations.

What makes matters worse is that promoting the plot transfer method as a means of bypassing the random timer means that someone could do this repeatedly in the span of minutes and effectively exploit the timer as a means of keeping multiple plots out of the hands of players buying a house, and the lack of an adequate gil sink in the game short of teleportation means that running out of gil doing it would never be an issue for someone willing to do that.

Seriously, whatever dev thought the random timer system we have now was a good idea clearly had neither regard for nor understanding of human decency.

Well there is a random timer between 0-22 hours since the house demolition that will make the plot available, however relocations aren't affected by this random timer so if you have a plot already in that server you can relocate without having to wait.

The random timer is at any hour: minute: second.

I keep seeing this "22 hour" time. I'm not sure where or when this bit of misinformation got started, but it's completely false. I don't know if anyone has reached the actual maximum time yet, but I know of several plot timers that have gone well into the 26-28 hour range. This is both from personal experience, as well as reports from FC mates and trusted friends.
