A resource for buying houses!

[Lucerna]

Hi everyone! As long as it's okay, I wanted to share a discord I founded that currently helps with housing on Aether and Crystal. It's called Sadu Dothpawrl's Housing Alerts. We call out open plots when we see them, and encourage and support people trying to buy them. For those not on Aether nor Crystal, we also have a housing showcase gallery and tips for buying houses and decorating them. While we allow people to offer relocation spots for gil, we have strict pricing guidelines in place to prevent gouging.

https://discord.gg/mRuMsqR is the permanent invite link, hope to see you there!

Hello!

Would you happen to have an updated link for the discord? I would appreciate it.

Tips for camping:

-Be courteous. If you win a plot, lose a plot, or are joined by another camper please remember not to act cruel or entitled. The other players deserve the same chance you do

-Check city aetherytes at the top of any hour exactly, right as the clock rolls over from --:59 to --:00, this is when demolitions go off

-from the city aetheryte plaza, choose 'Residential District Aethernet,' check the directory page for all 48 wards and sub-wards, plots for sale show a price in white text

-Goblet plots will be abandoned most frequently and camped by the fewest others, conversely, lakefront and beachfront properties are very likely to be taken by relocators

-Use the numpad (with numlock on: 0,0,0,0,4,0) or a controller to target/navigate the placard dialogue rather than the mouse, this avoids 'large mount' griefing

-Type /busy once to automatically reject all tells and trade offers while camping. Enter the command again when done to cancel.

-Conventional wisdom says that a plot will not become available until after the eighth hour of the hidden timer. So if you see a plot become vacant or know where someone relocated from, return in 8-10 hours with the goal of camping 14-16 hours, rather than camping the full 24.

-When possible, do not camp a house on a character that can relocate a different house. Make an officer-alt to camp the FC house on, do not risk your personal. Make a leader-alt to hold your FC while you camp a personal, do not risk the FC house.

+FC specific: give multiple ranks the ability to purchase land for the FC, allowing you to camp multiple plots at one time and/or to camp plots in shifts

-NA users can try Sadu's Housing Alerts discord. This community gives you an opportunity to crowdsource your ward checks with other campers and help determine the time that a plot opened. They also have an informative FAQ.
