Purchasing Land for the House
Speak to the NPC who takes the players out of the wards, on the availability of plots. They can also select the aetheryte in Aetheryte Plaza, by selecting ‘Go to specified ward’.
However, most players do find it very difficult to get an available plot, especially in the size that they want. The website, on the other hand, lists down the plots available on a daily basis, so it would be best to check it out.
When the player is done looking for a plot, then they should select a ward and go there. They can check out the number of their plot on the map, as it could be in the subdivision or original area.
Make note that when a user vacates a plot, it doesn’t become available right away, even when you purchase it. There is a timer that you can’t see, which needs to expire before the land can be repurchased by another player.
