My crew has been farming Dreloth Ancestral Tomb, trying to pick up some more furnishing plans for the St Delyn Penthouse. Each trip gets us at least one plan, and a recipe, but it seems we've reached the point where they are always duplicates. We got a lot of racial motifs, too - half the time, it's the race of the character finding it.

Khajiit should check the guild bank again. Many were dark elf of some variety, but some were Khajiit plans.

When Laurie's next research slot opens up, I'll be asking for a nirnhoned resto staff, as she has a writ that wants an eight-trait set, and we may as well learn nirnhoned instead of training at this point. She's pretty close to having an even seven traits learned, with shields complete. We're debating whether to move to eight with nirnhoned items, and let the others turn up in game play, or to request other traits from guild members, and wait for writs that required the nirnhoned trait.

Blossom is about a trait behind (mostly sixes), and Laurie's keeping her research queue full. I'm thinking of having Cat Man Dhou go hunt a few skyshards, and invest in the research passives, so he can move up a bit, too. Unna just needs skill points to move her clothier up to 10/10, but her using mid-level mats is an advantage right now. Wizwen or Taminwe might get their clothier skill raised to ease the demand for Jute.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up!

HhhhHHHhhhhhhhso the Crafting Monkey hit 45 in Jewelry Crafting and now I'm considering throwing every single bit of jewelry his way until he hits like 49 so he can cap it off with the skill book at the crafting station in the northwestern part of Summerset. By that I mean have everyone doing JC writs give their rewards to him and pass up their only decon. hmmmmmmmmmm

(Also, maybe I should consider seeking out Triune, Bloodthirsty and Harmony traited jewelry for research. But then it's probably best to wait till the price goes down a bit.)

Rakaand finally left the isle of Stros M'Kai and headed to Daggerfall for a free room at the Rosy Lion. Now I need to figure out furnishings!

I'll be glad to donate some, my game bank is overfull of them, lol.

The problem I had with furnishing the first room is that the game doesn't give you enough plans or materials to make things for yourself. So take any hand-me-downs you can get to start with, and replace them later. At the beginning, you won't have the crafting skills, or materials, to make anything decent.

Unna slept on a bedroll, and sat on a stool with her mug on a crate, for a long time. It took six months before we got her a proper Nord bed, and then we had to buy the blueprint, because it refused to drop. I forget the skill requirements on that, but she was already past L50 before it replaced her bedroll.

The economy is also crazy. The plans for the Hlaalu vellum lamps that Minx wants for the free inn room in Vivec cost more than Unna's house! So we're waiting for them to drop for us. We've only found plans for one type of room divider (Wood Elf), and again they're all high-priced.

I might take you up on that, lol. Looks like much grinding is involved to get enough loots for furnishing.

It looks like Summerset's eased the burden just a bit with how they handle furnishing plan drops, since you can find the different tiers (blue, green, purple, etc) as separate drops now. So at least there's that. I'm still waiting on Furnisher writs or something similar for a reliable source of these plans that doesn't involve vouchers. :T

Anyways, I can now confirm that Nirncrux drops from Jewelry nodes. I hit 'R' a split second after noticing so I only got the little notification instead of the actual node. Also it's Craggle Rock, I'm not slowing down too much.

I'll gladly unload some! (as long as you are on the PC game, that is). Is your account under the name Kane? I'll send you a mailing first to make sure you will get the stuff when I send it - or I can put it into the guild bank for you to pull out; are you in our "Chorrolites" guild for ESO? Has Acadian set it up where you can draw stuff out of the guild bank? (and if he has, make sure to draw 2,000 gold out and buy yourself a guild Tabard from the Chorrolites guild store to wear for guild functions).

I appreciate that!! I am indeed on PC, and my username is ThomasKane and my character name is Rakaand.
Nope, not in any guilds! Just free roaming at the moment.

Sounds good, Kane! Just you sent you a friend request as well as an invite to the guild!

Edited for typo.

Awesome, thanks folks!

The guild is just us here at this site; friends. (so only 15 members). We don't have a store other than our guild tabard for sale (which the guild bank gives you the 2,000 gold for so you don't have to pay for it).

You are free to take any items you need from the guild bank; there is armor, weapons, recipes, motifs - anything you need! Also, I'll be glad to send you whatever I have, my bank is so full of furniture I can't add anything to it, lol.

Also, you can right click on my name and choose "Visit Primary Residence" to go to the Guild Hall anytime = great place for building up characters, you can change their Mundus stone, test them on the combat dummies (then look at your chat box for the results of your sparring session), make new armors, etc. Or just hang out and enjoy the peace of the place, lol.

Word. Khajiit liked to go there and tweak his characters in peace.

I don't think there's anything in the UI that tells you:

1. If you have permission to visit the residence
2. What house it is

The first may just be that the option is or isn't presented. The second can be bypassed by each player adding the note by their name in the guild poster, but that's only accurate if they remember when they change it. Add-ons may provide the extra info, but I haven't investigated. mALX keeps Hunding's constant, as guild-hall, but haute is always changing hers, as she's often showcasing a new one. I'll probably change from Twin Arches to Sleek Creek when I get more furnishings in place, as it has more space.

Good points, ghastley. Snugpod is always Buffy's primary and the whole chorrol guild always has permission to visit or even just use it as a convenient port to Elden Root. I need to remember to make a note reflecting that by my name in our guild roster.

Now that Cat Man Dhou has moved from Moonmirth to Sleek Creek, I'm using his old home as a warehouse. That at least saves some bank space for the Alchemy and Enchanting surveys we never get around to. All it has currently is bedrolls, crates, and a few "rough" furnishings, but the Imperial bed may end up there, too.

If there was an easy way for others to go there, and browse the junk, it would make a good yard sale location.

Wow! Now you only have to refine 10,000,000,000 more dust, and you'll hit 50!!

Woo Hoo! Misa made 50 with the help of a friend crafting rings for her = I provided the mats, the friend crafted the rings and handed them back to me to grind up. It really helps build it up a lot quicker than relying on dropped jewelry.

Right now she is trying to get those new research traits done, lol.
