Housing Items

[VictorTheed]

Thinking bout taking a break cause I been playing FFXIV for 7 years and done all I wanna do, however I own a house and an apartment, which brings me to my questions.

If I don't plan on coming back till like a month before 6.0 next year should I go ahead and gather my housing Items and put em in my apartment cause I know I'll lose my house, do u lose apartments to or just housing? Plus were do the housing Items go if I don't put em in my apartment?

It’s easier to gather your housing stuff, but in case you don’t they go to a kind of escrow NPC in the neighborhood markets. I forget the name but essentially an item reclaim. Note that some items can not be reclaimed once placed (usually used food, flowers or fish tank contents)

Also, consider selling your house so you can recoup some straight gil.

Easiest way to do it would be join a FC, get leadership, turn house into FC house, then leave the FC cash in hand. Again, gil...not RMT.

You keep apartments forever. If your not going to play for another year, I recommend dumping all your crafting materials and storing all your housing items from your house into your retainer and apartment inventory. You could lose your housing items if you just leave it to housing demolition as it'll be put on a timer.

Unlike plots, the apartment you buy will remain yours no matter how much time you spend without visiting It.

When a plot is demolished, all items and 80% of the purchase price are placed on the Resident Caretaker npc for 35 days. If the items and gil are not claimed before the 35 days are up, the server eats them. If you do plan to take an extended break and do not want to lose certain furnishings, I would recommend moving them to your apartment ahead of time.

This is only true if the game reclaims it (i.e. auto-demolish), right? I was under the impression that if you proactively relinquish/demolish, you get no gil back?

[DrWho2010]

you proactively demolish you get nothing back.

Which to me is unacceptable. Those are the people SE should be enticing to give up their homes, especially now with the auto-demo timer still being deactivated. If anything, you should get MORE gil back for proactively demolishing than for just sitting around waiting for 45 days.

watch and then a player driven system opens up to make extra gil by flipping houses when the system is already overflowing with gil. houses would change hands between a select few so many times it would be ridiculous.

Another 20-50 million gil getting added back to the economy won't make much of a difference when there are already hundreds of billions floating around.

The flippers still have to get their hands on a plot before they can flip it. The purchase timer makes that difficult. Someone who wants to buy the plot to actually use the house has the same chance of getting as the flipper.

At this point, there's a need to either give players an incentive to give up a house they aren't actively using and/or make it less desirable to own an unused house in the form of recurring fees. It could always been done as a limited time amnesty - relinquish your house before X date and get 100% of the purchase price back, similar to what players were given if they chose to transfer during the data center shuffle.
