One thing you can do in Final Fantasy XIV is buy a house. You can either buy a house with your Free Company or buy your own personal house.The requirements for buying your house are that you need a character to be level 50 in one of the adventure classes, second lieutenant in one of the Grand Companies for personal housing, and rank 6 or higher for Free Company Housing. The big thing is finding land that is for sale in the residential areas which are, The Mist, Lavender Beds, The Goblet, and Shirogane. The second thing is making sure you have enough gil to purchase the land. Prices vary depending on who is selling it and the size of it. Small, medium, and large plots are what is available and this affects what size house you can place on the land. Once that happens you can choose the kind of house you want depending on the size of the land. I got my personal house in The Goblet pretty close to my Free Company and a few friends. I was pretty excited about my new small cottage.

What comes next once you buy the land for your new house? You need to buy a housing permit from the NPC vendor which is usually close by in the residential area in order to build a house on the plot. The prices for the houses are as follows: Small house - 450,000 gil Medium house - 1,000,000 and Large House - 3,000,000 gil. What comes next after you have everything you need? Customizing your house outside and inside of course. You can decide where you want to place your house on your land and then customize the colors. You can also write a custom message on the placard in front of your house.

What comes next once you have your new house set up? Decorating it of course! You can craft or buy furniture and decorations for outside your house and inside. You can also craft food dishes on your Culinarian to put inside your house and yes, your characters can eat them. Each dish has a certain number of servings so people who visit your house can be treated to a snack. Many of my wonderful friends in the game gifted me furniture that they crafted for me as a house warming gift. I love each piece they gave me because it was thoughtful and they crafted some pretty amazing things. One thing that I loved was the bench and table that I had in my little garden outside my house because it looked like the summons Carbuncle.

It's fun decorating the inside of your house because you can make it however you like it. There are a ton of choices when it comes to choosing flooring and wallpaper for each room. Creating or buying each furniture item for your house lets you get creative with how you want it to look and show off your own personal style. For my small house I had an upstairs and a downstairs so I had my choice of two rooms to decorate. For my first floor, I have a pretty nice pastoral theme I like and it's nice and simple with a few furniture pieces.

For downstairs, I made it a little different. I chose a little more blue for the walls and had a jacuzzi on one side for a relaxing corner. A bed for Pirotess and a little table spread out with foods I had crafted on my Culinarian made a cozy little spot for resting and snacks. I love both rooms in my little house, but I'm pretty fond of the downstairs one because it turned so nice and relaxing.

Having a house in the game is pretty nice and it's been so much fun decorating it. You can always redecorate it too for a change or even for the different holidays. You do need to log in to keep your house though, not every day, but enough to keep it. If there has not been 30-35 days of activity on your account, you will get an email informing you that your house will be demolished if you don't log in. All you have to do is log into your account and walk into your house so the game server counts the activity and you are no longer considered inactive. After 45 days of inactivity your house will be demolished and the plot of land will be put up for sale, so make sure you log in so you don't lose your house. Is it worth it to buy yourself a personal house in the game? I think so. I have had a great experience with it having a place to unwind after adventures, decorating it, and inviting friends to come hang out and have fun. Getting your own house is pretty easy, you just need the gil and the permit to do it. Once you have it, go nuts and show off your style and have a great time! Thanks for reading, everyone. See you at the next adventure!
