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.
