History of Housing in FFXIV
_{(and other additions for parkour enthusiasts)}

Below is a timeline of additions and changes made to the housing system as it may pertain to the world of jump puzzles. It's interesting to see how far the system has come since it was first added, and also to think of how far it still has to go. Regardless, jumpers and builders both can't help but be grateful for the hours of fun that housing has provided for us.

Patch 2.0 – A Realm Reborn
27 August 2013

Square-Enix releases the reboot of Final Fantasy XIV to replace the 1.x version, which was taken offline on 11 November 2012. While many features were scrapped completely, some were reworked and carried over.

Equipment dyeing was reworked; it was no longer part of the synthesis system and instead received its own right-click option. This opened a new standalone system with its own UI.
Dyes became universal, being available to use regardless of material type.
Total number of dyes at implementation: 43
Dye could not be removed once applied, only dyed over. (Terebinth didn't move dye color until 2.1)

Patch 2.1 – A Realm Awoken
17 December 2013

Housing system implementation, only available for free companies that have unlocked the Land Acquisition perk by achieving rank 6.
Mist, Lavender Beds, and Goblet are added. Free Companies may purchase land in any district, regardless of their Grand Company allegiance.
Plots are available for purchase right away, with initial prices set depending on world population (prices rise with higher populations).
Plot prices devaluate over time by 0.14% every six hours, up to 360 times, meaning a plot could reach its minimum price (half of the initial price) after 90 days.

Worlds belonging to this tier: Aegis, Durandal, Gungnir, Masamune, Ridill

The reasoning behind a tiered system was that higher polutation meant a higher supply of gil. The developers wanted to keep housing exclusive and hard to obtain. By raising the prices on higher population worlds, they could take gil out of circulation and make obtaining a free company estate more competitive. Pricing would be standardized across all worlds in a later patch.

Terebinth, Sunset Orange, Kobold Brown, Qiqirn Brown, Aldgoat Brown, Acorn Brown, Shale Brown, Coeurl Yellow, Raisin Brown, Lime Green, Marsh Green, Cactuar Green, Ochu Green, Turquoise Green, Seafog Blue, Peacock Blue, Raptor Blue, Othard Blue, Storm Blue, Currant Purple, Plum Purple
