Patch 2.1 Notes for Housing

Andromeda · Dec 14, 2013

Housing has been had one of the bigger question marks in the patch mainly because it was not decided until recently how expensive they would make housing. The notes go into great detail on the housing prices. There are several things to remember with it. You need to know what server you're on as the server changes the price, non-legacy versus legacy and even population. The TFF Server Ultros is one of the more expensive non-legacy servers, likely due to the high population of the server. There are also 5 rankings for plots of land which change the cost and the cost will lower every 6 hours for a total of 360 times. So unpurchased land will get cheaper. However, land will still be very expensive even the cheapest is 4 million gil with the most expensive being 625 million.

Start saving.

Free company housing has been added.

Free companies can now purchase an estate, upon which a hall can be built, in any one of the three residential districts regardless of Grand Company allegiance. Estates can be customized with a variety of fixtures and furnishings, creating a unique community space to be shared by free company members.

Purchasing Land
In order to acquire an estate, free companies must first unlock the Land Acquisition entitlement by achieving rank 6. Having done so, examine the placard standing before the empty plot of land you wish to purchase. Its current price will be displayed along with a devaluation timer (details below). Please note that only free company members with the proper authorization may purchase land.

* Purchasing land or housing using gil obtained from RMT (real money trading) or other illicit means is strictily prohibited. Any land or estate hall deemed to have been purchased through such means is subject to seizure.

The Devaluation Timer

The price of a plot of land is set to be reduced 14% every six hours.

Example:
Small
- Starting Price: 8,000,000 gil
- 10 Days Later: 7,552,000 gil
- 15 Days Later: 7,328,000 gil
- 30 Days Later: 6,656,000 gil
- 90 Days Later: 3,698,000 gil
* The price will reduce a maximum of 360 times in 90 days and will will fall to half its starting price.
* From patch 2.2 onward, a free company will automatically relinquish its land if its estate is unused for a prolonged period of time.

Plot Pricing
The initial price of land at the release of patch 2.1 will vary depending on World population and economy. Prices are also affected by location, and there may be differences between plots of the same size. The following is a list of starting prices for each World:

* Pricing for Legacy Worlds has been set higher due to the greater amount of gil in circulation compared to newly established Worlds.
* The grouping listed above is subject to change based on variance in population and economy.

Each residential district is divided into a number of identical wards. Even if the plot of land you desire has already been purchased in a certain ward, it may still be available in another.

Additional wards will be added as required based on fluctuations in the population and economy of each World.
* The price of newly added plots will be based on the starting prices for that World.

Building an Estate Hall
In order to build an estate hall on a plot of land, players must first acquire a construction permit. A construction permit can be purchased from the Housing window while on your property.
* From patch 2.2 onward, players will be able to hire a retainer to serve on the free company estate.

Settings on Your Housing
Once you build the house, you may change various settings on your house such as the name of your house, a message to your Free Company members and who can enter the house.

Remodeling the Estate Hall
An estate hall is comprised of four mandatory fixtures (roof, exterior wall, windows, and door) along with up to four optional fixtures (roof decoration, exterior wall decoration, placard, and fence). These components can be crafted, purchased from vendors, or obtained by exchanging company seals. In order to remodel the hall, company members must be given authorization by the company leader.
* Once placed, exterior parts cannot be retrieved.

Outdoor Furnishings
Certain furnishings can be placed on the estate grounds outside the hall. These furnishings can be crafted, purchased from vendors, or obtained by exchanging company seals. The following actions are available when editing outdoor furnishings:

Move: Change the position of selected furnishing.

Rotate: Rotate the selected furnishing.

Remove: Remove the selected furnishing.

The number of outdoor furnishings that can be placed is dependent on plot size:
-Small: 20
-Medium: 30
-Large: 40

* Once a furnishing has been placed, it can no longer be traded or sold on the market. Furthermore, certain furnishings will be lost upon removal.

Remodeling the Interior
Certain interior fixtures such as wall, flooring, and lighting can be customized. These components can be crafted, purchased from vendors, or obtained by exchanging company seals.

Indoor Furnishings
Your estate hall can be decorated with a wide range of interior furnishings. Categories include tables, lamps, plants, wall mountings, carpets, and more. Certain items can be placed on top of others, such as lamps upon counter surfaces. Interior furnishings can be placed and adjusted in the same fashion as exterior furnishings mentioned above.

The number of interior furnishings that can be placed is dependent on estate hall size:
-Cottage: 50
-House: 100
-Mansion: 200

* Once a furnishing has been placed, it can no longer be traded or sold on the market. Furthermore, certain furnishings will be lost upon removal.

Painting Fixtures and Furnishings
It is possible to change the color of certain exterior fixtures and furnishings. To paint an exterior fixture, select Paint Exterior by accessing Housing within the Social menu. Individual furnishings can be painted when selected from the inventory.

Relinquishing Land
In order to relinquish a plot of land, you must first remove the estate hall and all furnishings. Once the plot is completely vacant, it can be relinquished from the Housing menu. Only free company members with the requisite authorization can perform this action.
* Gil will not be refunded upon relinquishing a plot of land.
* From patch 2.2 onward, a free company will automatically relinquish its land if its estate is unused for a prolonged period of time.
