It’s inherently stressful Final Fantasy XIV real estate lottery Coming soon with patch 6.1 and New details are out if you feel itchy because of them.

- The lottery operates on a 9-day cycle (Earth time), and is divided into two periods: five days in and four days with a result (where you can confirm said outcome).
- To qualify, you need to be at least one rank at level 50 and “hold the rank of second lieutenant or higher in one of the Companies” [an in-game NPC faction].
- If you represent a freelance company (FC, or player’s guild), the FC needs to be ranked six or higher, have four or more members, be a member for 30 days or longer, and be allowed to buy or give up the land
- To enter the lottery, you go to a sign in the title image. When the lottery is opened, you can choose to “join the lottery” and deposit the required amount (for example, three million gil): if you lose the lottery, you will be refunded 100%, even though you have 90 days to get it back. upward.

However, starting with Patch 6.1, the rebate system will be discontinued and residential lots will retain the value they were originally listed for.

Rest assured that even though the symbol has changed, the amount received by the player remains the same. ”

Final Fantasy XIV. Other MMO makers have struggled to provide a good system with wide open spaces and often use unstable content. While it’s far from perfect, it’s neat that there’s at least one big game that maintains the old-school player housing tradition.
