FFXIV – SamaGamer

The introduction of the lottery system and new plots of land in the Ishgard Empyreum system remedies the housing situation in FFXIV a tad bit, but it’s still not enough

These days, a plot of land ranges anywhere from 1.4 to 50 million FFXIV Gil – and doesn’t even include the property permit. Housing has been a problem in the MMO for more or less a year and with the recent release of Endwalker in December 2021, new players are struggling to get their dream home. Thankfully, in patch 6.0, the new Ishgard Empyreum district was added, as well as a lottery system for obtaining the houses less strenuously. Houses can offer many great tools to users, whether it’s an apartment or house. For one, players can use it as an outlet for self-expression; they can gather furnishings to decorate their homes, or even raise a Chocobo companion through the Chocobo Stables. But how does a total newbie get to know this complicated and expensive “hobby” within Final Fantasy XIV?

The Current Housing Types in FFXIV and Their Prices

There are five different kinds of houses available to purchase in Final Fantasy XIV. They vary from affordable to being extremely expensive; you’ll need to save every FF14 gil you get from your quests if you hope to become a homeowner anytime soon. From the most expensive to the cheapest, here’s everything you need to know about each type of housing in the game:

Large plot – This is the most expensive piece of land you can get in all of Final Fantasy XIV. A large plot can cost between 19.8 to 50 million gil. In this type of plot, you can build a large mansion that can house three floors and a huge garden. The permit for the large mansion is 3 million gil.
Medium plot – A medium plot of land can cost anywhere between 7.9 to 20 million gil, depending on where it’s located. You can then choose to build a medium house in this type of land for an additional 1 million gil which will have three floors and a large garden.
Small plot – A small plot is typically known as the middle ground in terms of getting an affordable house with a bit of room to spare. These cost between 1.4 to 3.7 million gil, and you can build a small cottage in this piece of land for an additional 450k gil. These properties are two-storey and have a small garden.
Apartment – An apartment will set you back around 500k gil. To purchase it, you will need to be a second lieutenant or higher in your grand company and have at least one job level at 50. Compared to the other housing types on this list, apartments are fairly easy to acquire since there are many of them. However, they’re not available for free companies.
Private chambers – Private chambers are essentially single rooms within your free company building. These will typically set you back around 300k gil. It’s worth noting that you’ll lose your chamber once you leave your free company.

A Heavy Burden for the Players

Owning a home isn’t as easy as having enough money for the purchase in FFXIV, but Naoki Yoshida and his development team are bringing changes to the housing process in two ways: by adding the Empyreum district and implementing a lottery system. Since all land is usually purchased, the only way to get a plot is to wait for an opportunity for it to become available. Whenever a house is demolished, a random timer that ends anytime from 30 minutes to a whole day starts before the land can be bought. The housing market in FFXIV is already crowded, and this rings true when we take a look at the numbers. According to the Final Fantasy XIV Census that was conducted in April 2020, the (most populated) American server, Malboro, has over 114k active characters. Meanwhile, there are only 17.2k apartments and 5.7k houses per server. FFXIV’s 6.0 patch not only hopes to alleviate the stress for players, but in time, this will mean that houses and plots of land will become more accessible to newer players.

Conclusion

Coe patch 6.1 – which going by the current schedule should drop sometime in March or April in 2022 – three additional changes will be made in the housing system. Note that this is in addition to the new district and the end of plot relocation that was introduced in patch 6.0. First off, land devaluation will be removed. Second, it’ll no longer be possible to give Free Company members the ability to purchase land, nor even immediately promote them to the rank of master. And lastly, a lottery system for acquiring plots will be introduced. While the FFXIV gil prices for houses and lands won’t be going down anytime soon, as long as Yoshida and his team put in the work needed to make changes little by little, we’ll – if all goes well – be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Needs some advice on getting an edge on your FFXIV game?

Well, I’ve got tips for you! Here are some quick tips that you probably didn’t know and can apply to your game right now!

1. Read your tooltips: Tooltips are essential when navigating across all aspects of the game. Even the more experienced players can benefit from tooltips. Especially when you get new abilities. This is simply a difference between clearing a dungeon or continuously wiping. If you don’t read your tool tips you may miss a bunch of information about your abilities and waste your potential. Countless times healers fail at their job because they aren’t using their abilities as they should just because they don’t know their abilities well enough. Tooltips will cover you in all aspects from this.

2. Double pull mobs: when tanking Dungeons, you can almost always double pull the mobs. The way you act for three mobs versus six mobs is no different and it’ll make the dungeon go much faster and you’ll get all the commends. Now some of you may be afraid of tanking and that’s okay, but keep in mind that all of us will end up tanking at some point regardless of the job that we are playing. Overall, I think a lot of people put tanking up on a pedestal and are afraid of it. Still, in reality, the other tanks don’t want you to know that they have no idea what they’re doing either. If you are looking to buff up your gear in those challenging mob situations, try getting a head start and buy a package from SSEGold. You will get everything you need to be ahead in your game, including: FF14 Gil, items, class packages, power leveling, etc.

3. Everyone should do damage: Everyone’s job is to DPS and always has been. Every little bit of damage helps make the fight go by faster and can even skip the mechanics that may have been too difficult to deal with. Yes, healers should DPS when they are comfortable in doing so. Everybody takes time to learn their role, so be understanding of new players. Remember, a healer’s main job is to heal, but every bit of damage you help contribute will make it, so you need to heal less, the enemies cannot hurt the tank if they are dead.

4. The meta doesn’t matter: Don’t let anybody tell you not to play a job because it’s terrible. Every job can do every piece of content in the game. Play what you find to be the most fun, and you’ll naturally get better at the job.

5. Push Buttons: This may sound silly, but you need always to be pushing your buttons. The single most common thing that will improve your performance in this tip is you should never ever! ever! ever! be doing nothing. This is almost so important that you could even press the entirely wrong buttons, and as long as you keep your GCD (global cool downs) rolling, you could still do better than the other guy.
