If you’re thinking about investing in FFXIV housing but are unsure where to start, or have no idea how much gil it may set you back, we’re here to help. From massive mansions in The Mists to cosy cottages at The Lavender Beds, you have plenty of options to consider when setting up a new home for you and your free company.
A plot of land ranges anywhere from 1,488,000 to 50,000,000 gil, and that doesn’t even include the property permit. So, it goes without saying, you’re going to need to save up your hard-earned money for a long time before you can move in. We recommend speaking with the rest of your free company, so that you can split the cost equally, and live in the lap of luxury together.
With the recent release of FFXIV Endwalker, there’s never been a better time to pick up a plot of land in this epic MMO game although there are some changes that are yet to come that you will need to take note of. Here’s what you need to know about FFXIV housing.
You can set up a house for yourself or your free company in four different areas, The Goblet in Thanalan, The Lavender Beds in The Black Shroud, The Mists in La Noscea, and Shirogane in Hingashi. A fifth area in Ishgard is also one the way.
There are five different kinds of FFXIV houses available to purchase. They vary from a little expensive to extremely expensive, so you’ll need to save every gil you receive if you hope to become a homeowner any time soon.
You must buy a permit for your cottage, house, or mansion, within 45 days of purchasing the plot. To do this, head over to your housing menu, select ‘Estate Hall’, and then ‘Purchase Construction Permit’.
You can furnish your property in many different ways and even make some helpful installations to help get things done in the comfort of your own home. Our favourite installations include the chocobo stable, where you can raise and train your company chocobo, and the aquarium where you can display fish that are caught by fishers in your free company.
As of patch 6.0, plot relocation is currently disabled. We’re not sure if it’s coming back or not at this stage, but this is tied to some wider housing changes which will be coming as part of the 6.1 update later this year.
Come patch 6.1 – which going by the current schedule is likely to drop sometime in March or April 2022 – three additional changes will be implemented to the housing system. This is in addition to the new district and the end of plot relocation introduced in patch 6.0
