Final Fantasy XIV: How to Buy a House using the FFXIV Housing Lottery

In the world of Final Fantasy 14, the rules have changed once more, and anyone looking for FFXIV housing will have to figure out the new 6.1 Lottery System. The good news is that Square Enix has already detailed how the new FFXIV Lottery works, as well as the best ways to acquire an Empyreum plot. Empyrean is a location made up of 48 available wards, or 24 primary subdivisions, with exterior fittings designed to complement the surrounding Ishgardian architecture, as many fans would already know.

HOW TO USE THE FFXIV HOUSE LOTTERY TO BUY A HOUSE

When it comes to the world of Final Fantasy, the FFXIV 6.1 Housing System now uses a lottery to determine who gets what plot of land. You must first choose the area you wish to purchase and then click on the placard located near the plot. This will give you the option to enter the Final Fantasy XIV Housing Lottery, as well as other details about the plot's dates and events. During the lottery period, you must pay the required amount of Gil to acquire the land.

According to Square Enix, the FFXIV Housing Lottery normally takes nine days to complete, with the final four days removing the opportunity to enter. If you win the housing lottery, you will be contacted, and you will need to meet specific requirements in order to complete your purchase. Certain lottery periods may be shorter than the typical 5 or 4 full days due to occurrences such as scheduled maintenance.

Once the previous lottery's results period has expired, a new lottery cycle will begin. The current status of the housing lottery can be found on the Housing page or by looking at the placard of the relevant parcel of land. Here are some of the prerequisites for securing your Final Fantasy story:

Buying as a private individual:

• You must have at least one level 50 class.
• In one of the Grand Companies, you must be a second lieutenant or above.
