Okay, so let’s talk about this FFXIV housing lottery thing. It’s kind of a big deal if you’re into virtual real estate—or whatever. First off, there’s this whole “entry period” scene that lasts for like five days. You throw your hat in the ring (or your gil, I guess) during this time. Then there’s this tense four-day period where you find out if Lady Luck is on your side. But here’s the kicker: If you win and don’t claim your prize? Say bye-bye to half your deposit. Yep, 50% gone. Just like that. Brutal, right?
And hey, if you’re lost like I usually am, you can check where you’re at in this whole process by popping open your Timers menu. There’s a housing tab just waiting for you. It’s like a little GPS for your virtual mansion hunting.
Alright, so maybe you’re a planner, always thinking ahead, right? Here’s the scoop for July 2025. But, oh, hold on a sec, there’s a catch. Our little schedule here? It’s blissfully unaware of maintenance times. So, if the servers decide they’re taking a little vacay, you might wanna be ahead of the game. Like, a day or two earlier. Just a heads up.
What else? Yeah, server resets. Those pesky things. The whole timing of the switching periods hinges on them, and of course, it varies depending on your time zone. So keep your eye on that if you’re seriously gunning for some prime digital real estate.
Anyway, good luck out there in Eorzea, or wherever you’re calling home these days. Go nab that dream plot!
