Concerning the Housing...

[Stakanov]

I know there's a limit of only 1 house for a FC and one personal house per account in each world.

My question that has been nagging me for a long time is what would happen if in the same world having a character with a house for my own FC and I have a secondary character who is part of a FC that also has a house, however I am not the owner but if ever the guild master gives the right of master to my secondary character, would this destroy my main character's FC house, knowing that as FC master it would be as if my secondary character owned a FC house, and so would this be considered the purchase of a new house and thus the destruction of my FC house with my main character?

I've asked the Novice Network in my world and apparently it won't destroy my main CE house, but I'd like more advice, especially from housing experts.

I hope I've made my question and dilemma sufficiently understandable.

NN is right in that regard, there aren't any repercussions if you would have a fc house on another char in the same server and get transferred ownership to be fc lead.
Nothing will be destroyed, you would just get another house on the second char.

[Stakanov]

That's very interesting, thank you for your answer, I have a second question in mind.

If the secondary player is below level 50 and therefore doesn't meet the requirements for owning a house, is it still possible for the FC master to give him the rank of Master and thus give him full rights to the FC house even though he's below level 50?

Or does it only work if the secondary player is at least level 50 and has the ability to obtain housing?

[TsukinoRan]

That's possible. After all, the requirements are only for getting a new house, not transferring ownership of an old one.
So you could get ownership transferred but wouldn't be able to move to another plot, for example.

One personal house per account, per world.
One FC house per character. (Which is limited by each character being a member of 1 FC-it 'belongs' to the FC with that particular character's name on it)
Alt can inherit the FC house, as long as the FC is distinct from your primary character's FC (Presuming you own that one as well, if not it becomes irrelevant.)

Every character you have can acquire an FC house, provided each one is a distinct FC. You're simply limited to the one personal house per world.

That sound about right, Integrity?

Having 50 lvl is not a requirement for buying a house (an FC one at least).

A master can freely give leader to any character of any level (even level 1 characters), as long as they meet the 30 days-in-FC threshold. The character that bet on the house and bought it will still be "tagged", blocking you from buying any more FC houses on this account unless they leave the FC temporarily before betting on and buying a new house with your other char.

"You do not have a character on the same World on the same service account that purchased and maintains a free company plot
* If the character in question purchased the plot, they may still submit a lottery entry for the purposes of relocation."

Are you sure? Apparently from what I understand it's not One FC house per character. because in that case there will just be relocation right???

Basically, the only way is for your alt to be in another player's FC and for him to give you the rank of Master so that you can have 2 FC houses in the same world for the same account.

If you ever create 2 different FCs with 2 characters from the same account at the same server, only 1 character will be able to have a house for his FC, and if the other ever buys a house, he'll destroy the other character's house.

That's the idea, isn't it?

Imagine not owning an entire ward by yourself.

[Tekmaal]

I read elsewhere that that was only the case for like a week, but they never updated that particular information. Haven't tested it myself, so yeah, was also kinda waiting on Integrity to reply here. If anyone would know the exact mechanisms in play, he would.

"You don't need a workaround, you can literally buy 8 FC houses per account. I know the housing mini site says you're restricted to 1 FC house per account and you were... for a week, back in early 2018.

Ever since then there's been no such restriction and anyone can buy 8 FC houses per server, as long as they meet the requirements (having a rank 6+ FC, having 4+ people in the FC at the time of purchase and obviously having the required Gil). The game doesn't even send you to the mini site and nothing in game mentions this past restriction either. I have no idea why they don't update the site.

Personal houses are still limited to 1 per service account, per world, as you mentioned."

The other responses are correct. Your fc house will be fine. You can have fc ownership transferred to all 8 of your alts which is how people end up owning 8 fc houses per server.

You can be low level. I created a new character only level 3 and inherited an fc. You don't need to be level 50 to take ownership of an fc. As others have said, you just have to be in the fc for at least 30 days.

Yeah you need to have a separate account or a friend. So let's say you have account A with 8 alts. You use account B to create an fc and obtain an fc house. Then you transfer ownership of the fc to your alt on account A. Rinse and repeat. You won't be able to do this on only a single account.

That's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation I now have all the answers I wanted. And to think that before I thought we could only get 1 FC house per server...

I only have 1 account but I have a friend ready to help me, I'm also going to offer to buy FC houses to players since I have gils, I have 1,200,000,000 gils as a starting price for a Large FC house and 500,000,000 as a starting price for a Medium FC house I give the prices if any players here are interested, I'm only interested in the Zodiark World.

[Integrity]

I guess if you have the gil then why not. But it's so expensive and such an overpay. I personally would never purchase a house from another player. I have 1.5 billion gil which is more than I ever need. But if I buy an fc large mansion for 1.2 billion that would pretty much wipe me out. I would rather patiently bid and spend at most 50 million for a mansion.
