I wonder if decorations extend to the "account-wide" aspect of the homes or if you have to re-furnish the same home when you're on another character. For something like the attuneable crafting stations, account-wide would be very, very useful. Goodbye long, horrifying hike to the Armor Master crafting station, even if I got AP randomly while hiding out in the district. ('Course I still need to get 3 blank attuning stations to get all 3 of them)

But...omg, I'm really anticipating the changes to crafting. Stackable motifs? Master Writs? Aetherial Psijiic Ambrosia components in exchange for Vouchers? Frick yes.

I guess since the PTS just released the update we'll be getting some more details on the patch soon.

Awesome, thanks for the links! I'm going to enjoy some coffee and house hunting this afternoon. I think the outdoor spaces are going to be amazing.

monkey, I'm guessing it will all be account-wide, but I don't know for sure. I am so excited about the crafting changes that I still can't form a coherent sentence on the subject.


Added: hazmick, thanks for the January store link. Jerric tried on the witch robes this morning before we really looked at them. The bare shoulders are a nice sassy touch, and the shoes are super cute. Not the look he is going for. Can't wait to see the desert lynx. The PC crew wants more pets.

I'm wondering why they aren't offering a furnished preview of the Hallin's Stand house?

But on a completely different topic - never had any desire for the Hunding house until I saw this vid. Now I'm dying for it !!! Unfortunately, I've got only 690,000 now, meaning I have one month to double it, then need to learn how to make furniture quickly, lol.

Ooh, I love that "Vested Interest" costume!!! And I've seen those baby Lynx cats, they are adorable!

Thanks for the link, Hazmick !!!

Hmmm, seems like a lot of Hammerfell garb. Are they trying to tell us something?

Right? Getting us geared up for that Hunding Mansion? BWAAHAA!

Lol, indeed!

Also, this one feels that the witch robes should be a little... wilder.

They looked kind of boring to me. I don't understand what makes them "Witch" robes. They had no appeal to me.

Exactly! To Khajiit, they just say "Look at me, I'm a mage!", not "Hey I'm a badass witch! FEAR ME!!".

So these crafting motifs will probably need mimic stones like the Frostcaster set?

No. Assassins League requires Tainted Blood (dropped rarely when using the Blade of Woe to kill an NPC) and Dro-m'Athra requires Defiled Whiskers (dropped by bosses in the Maw of Lorkhaj).

Both styles have been in the game for a while, this is just the first time they've been added to the crown store.

Oh ok, so the motif can be found in game?

Yep. Dro m'athra from Maw of Lorkhaj and Assassins League from world and delve bosses in the Gold Coast zone.

Ok cool!

Alcast has done some quick videos to showcase the houses:

Small homes

Medium homes

Large homes

Manor and crown store exclusive homes



I was worried that the small homes would be too small, but it looks like they're all decent sizes. The Argonian and Bosmer style homes in particular are nice and cosy. Anything above medium size seems more fit for a guild!

I agree about the home sizes. Jerric and Darnand will happily start with a tavern room to get the hang of building and decorating, and while the large homes look amazing, I'm the most excited about some of the small and medium ones.

Much to my shock, my main PS4 guild got a Daggerfall trader and sold all of my expensive stuff. This means I am suddenly close to a large house budget, but I expect that the crew will want multiple small and medium ones to work into their stories. The PC gang is in the small house range. They will have to be patient and choose carefully.

Thank you for those links! I am going to watch them more than once more I'm sure.

I just got an email about some special Crown Store items that are only here till Monday:


New Adorments Available Until Monday


I can't get it to give me a link for some reason from the email, I even clicked on the picture itself and it went nowhere.

That'll be the Sailor's Squid Goatee beard and the Wavy Triple Braided Updo hair, in the limited time offers section of the crown store (under 'featured'). 1000 crowns each.

Booo! Too much crown!

What is going on with them and the price gouging?
