Sure thing, here goes nothing.

So, okay, there’s this thing in FFXIV — yeah, Final Fantasy 14 if you’re not a fanboy already — about scoring a dream house or something through a lottery. It’s like five days of “entry period” chaos where everyone’s probably glued to their screens, followed by the “results period” — which is four days of either ecstatic joy or bitter disappointment, I guess.
If you actually win (hooray for you!), you’ve got to seal the deal during results days. Miss it, and bam — the plot’s gone, and oh, you lose half your deposit. Why? No idea why it’s 50% — doesn’t seem fair. Anyway.
And hey, if you’re in the game wondering where you are in this lottery circus, just pop open that Timers menu and head to the housing tab. Simple, right? Or maybe not.
Now, if you’re the organized type — not me, obviously — and want to get ahead of things, there’s the housing schedule for July 2025. Yeah, I know, it’s a bit like plotting world domination or something. But seriously, watch out for maintenance times — they can mess up your plans, like a surprise plot twist you didn’t see coming. Maybe think of doing your bidding or claiming a day early. Or two. Who knows?
Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit: all these periods switch up at the server reset, which happens at different times depending on where you are. Fun with time zones, anyone?
