What is housing for exactly?

The Gilincome is going to 0, what you mean is the Giltrading for Items at the Market.
But thx to the taxes the Money on the Server´s decrease slowly but steady.
We cannot make much money out of nothing like sell to an NPC or daily quest.

Actually, if you wanted, you could get an incredible amount of gil. There's an ARM leve in Limsa which gives 1000 gil per turn-in, triple for HQ, and can be turned in 3 times per allowance. That's 54,000 gil into the economy per person per day. If you wanted ones which require much less individual effort, there are several LTW leves which turn in 3 times and often return the skins used to craft the target item. Those are only around 21,600 gil per person per day, but it's fairly easy to do. The only thing keeping people from abusing the hell out of leves like that is the insane abundance of gil everywhere else. The projected deflation has not occurred. Prices which should be falling due to oversupply and competition are bolstered by the legions of people hanging out with 2 million gil and nothing to do with it. ilvl70 armor sets cost 2-3 million gil per set to make based on Coke/Fat/Peacock prices. I'd imagine that practice is also pushed swiftly along by the gil sellers, who have quite an operation going as the near sole suppliers of crystals at this point. MB on Coeurl was down to the last 580 or so wind crystals, and 500 of them were from a gil seller (Andyu -- retainer who sells nothing but shards and crystals in stacks of 500 and 1000 and has a constant supply... doesn't even pretend to be legit).

Hello,

I have seen the videos during live letter about housing that some FC can buy but I am still unsure what the purpose is... Is it only for the FC to have a place to gather?

If yes, is it worth putting loads of gils in it when you could define any place as your HQ?

I hope we can get more information soon because I still have no clue if housing will change anything.

housing will change EVERYTHING! buy a house, and you can instantly clear any dungeon with the push of a button! you can oneshot everybody in PvP! you can... have the game make toast for you!oh wait, it can't do those things. What are you expecting housing to change, exactly? Maybe you should tell us what you would want from it. Company housing is more or less a gathering place for your guild. We have heard a few things about it, like you can sell things from it, access your chest there, hang out, its you/your company's personal space. We'll apparently be able to build other things in the future, not just houses.

It bugs me when people seem to expect that every new feature must advance their killing ability in endgame or something. Not saying that's you (I don't think it is) but I see a lot of this sort of "how does it help me win?" stuff. Can't we have some 'for fun" features too?

I don't
I just want to know if it has a purpose, that's it ^^
I am all for only "fun" features, now just need to know what those are
They just said at the time it was super expensive to buy and did not go in detail about what you can actually do inside
So I was just wondering

[Reslin]

I for one am excited for housing.

Only FC housing will be available after 2.1 patch is that correct?

Imagine if they put a PC inside your house then you can play games in your house while you playing FFXIV

not a bad idea. Yakuza 5 has a similar feature that you can play retro Sega games in the game center. maybe we can play FF1-6 in our house.

Imagine if you could play Final Fantasy 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 in your house that would be awesome.

Hey, I heard you like playing a tank, so we put a PC in your game and now you can play world of tanks while playing a tank in FFXIV.

Atm I'm still confused on how house would work too.
Is it FC buy the whole land, and later on the members could purchase the plots on the land and build stuffs there?

I also remember hearing there's some buildings (Something like towers) that can give buffs,
