Housing Notifications
Are you a poor Homeless Eorzean? On the look out for that first Small House?
Go to the #role-and-event-assignment channel in SWORD Discord and click that little Moogle emote to add yourself to the Housing Notifications role. Then whenever a Housing Sweep occurs, you will get pinged with the location of empty plots! For real-time housing notifications in-game, ask any officer to add you to the Cross-world Linkshell (SWORD Housing). Good luck on Housing Savage.
