Securing a plot of land in Final Fantasy XIV involves participating in a lottery system. The process consists of distinct entry and results periods, and understanding this schedule is crucial for players aiming to acquire in-game housing. Players can check the housing schedule directly within the game by accessing the Timers menu and navigating to the housing tab.
The lottery system requires players to place their bid during the designated entry period. Should a bid be successful, the player must then finalize the purchase within the subsequent results period. Failure to claim a won plot during the results period will result in forfeiture of the land and a loss of 50% of the deposited gil.
For July 2026, the FFXIV housing lottery schedule is as follows:
Entry periods are slated from June 28 to July 3, July 7 to July 12, July 16 to July 21, and July 25 to July 30.
Results periods follow directly after, running from July 3 to July 7, July 12 to July 16, July 21 to July 25, and July 30 to August 3.
These periods begin at the server reset time, which varies by time zone. For North America, this is 8 a.m. PDT on the west coast and 11 a.m. EDT on the east coast. In Brazil, it is 12 p.m. BRT. For the UK, the reset occurs at 4 p.m. BST, and in Western Europe, it is 5 p.m. CEST. For Japan, the reset is at 12 a.m. JST the following day, and for the east coast of Australia, it is 1 a.m. AEST on the subsequent day. Players should note that this schedule does not account for potential maintenance downtimes, and it may be advisable to place bids or claims a day earlier to avoid conflicts.
