ESO Housing & Decorating, All things Homestead Options

[haute ecole rider]

My housing guild (Divine Design Alliance) just started its November Showcase. I’ve entered my Gorinir Estate (aka Spiral of Circles) for the first week. Already it’s been selected as one of the Homes of the Week, and my GM has asked permission to enter it in the Home of the Month voting at the end of November.

It’s not properly a HOME so much as a Walk in the Woods. For those with EHT, there is a little book just inside the entrance. It won’t be visible to those without EHT, but it’s such a tiny little detail. It reads:

A Walk in the Woods.
Please wait for the little forest spirit, he will guide you.
Follow him at his pace, and feel the forest around you.
Where he stops, take a few moments to meditate and experience the magic.
If you lose him, do not panic. For he has shown you what you need to know.

It is my primary and open to both Divine Design Alliance and The Chorrolites for the month of November.

I had the tour some time ago and it is indeed a beautiful forest!

I made sure I had the latest version of EHT, and reset its options to default, just in case, but I don't see a book.

I do see the tour guide, and its pace is just right!

@ghastley: the book is tiny, and is on the ground on the top step of the entry. When you log in, before stepping forward, it's best to look left and down, it's leaning against the rock that has the little vvardenfell glow sprout coming out of the top. You have to right click on it to read it, it's a custom book from EHT FX.

Here's where I'm looking.

[haute ecole rider]

Yup, that’s the right place!

I have republished the FX to the guild. Please let me know if it is still an issue.

Last night I picked up the Divines sigils and stands from the luxury vendor and had Jerric set them up so that I could see if they look cool. (They do.)

Today I have no idea what house we were in. Sigh.

Since this thread already exists, I won't create a new one.

To get to the NA Guildhall the hard way, you can type

/script JumpToSpecificHouse("@mALX1", 62)

and for the EU server it is

/script JumpToSpecificHouse("@ghastley", 36)

Since both of these are Primary Residence, this is totally unnecessary, but that syntax works for other houses, assuming they are open for visitors.

So the same line will take you to my Hunding's on NA server as well, even if I switch it from Primary there.

On NA server, I have about 30 houses, but most aren't worth a visit, because they're empty, or being used as warehouses for surplus furnishings. The ones below aren't necessarily complete, but in decent shape for a visit.

Autumn's Gate (Unna's home) - 28
Black Vine Villa (Taminwe's) - 7
Twin Arches (Laurie's)- 34
Ald Velothi (Minx lives here)- 44
Domus Phrasticus (Bo's home) - 26
Exorcised Coven Cottage (Spreads') - 49
Sleek Creek (Cat Man Dhou) - 23
Velothi Reverie (Vicuña's) - 20

EU server has fewer, and really only one looks lived in

Captain Margaux's Place (Angua's home) - 16

Twin Arches - 34 is getting there. I’m trying to do blue instead of the usual red, which is harder to find.

This week’s book furnishings from Filer Ool in the Infinite Archive are worth checking out. They are The Waiting Door which looks like a small notebook, and Uluscant’s Manifesto which looks like a very cool open book. They cost 1,000 archival whatevers each.

If you haven’t found them yet in the world you can quickly add them to your lore library by reading them in someone’s house as a furnishing. I put them both in my Daggerfall Overlook on the table by Squire Caw. You’ll need them in your lore library to be able to purchase them in furnishing form.

I really need some tips on creating houses from scratch. The Hunter's Glade is one I've seen done by other players and they look so good. Like this one? Makes for a nice cozy environment. I have a bunch of items to build the base, but it has been so long that I think there might be some better building items available. When I get back on the first thing I'll do is probably start building my house haha.

[Acadian]

Good luck with your Hunter's Glade.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help. Buffy's houses tend toward the small side using a prebuilt structure, so most decorating, not building. We also pick houses based on proximity to amenities and especially a wayshrine. Like Snugpod and Cyrodilic Jungle House.

Haute Ecole Rider is a great one to ask, let her show you her Daggerfall house/town. It is AMAZING!!!!!! That will give you the inspiration to build anything you can imagine! I think it is her best, and she has done some really great ones!

As I said, we generally don't build structures, but Buffy did build a stable for Superian in the Cyrocilic Jungle House. Screenshot.

Thanks.

I see. Those do seem very appropriate for Buffy. I like Snugged and I think I've been to the Jungle House( I admit I like to surprise guild members by showing up uninvited to their amazing homes). Nice home, too! I love Superian in the backround. If we had cross play, I'd love to visit.

I'll be sure to ask for tips and pointers! Did she ever post them on here?

I don't think so. I took pics of it, but lost all my old photos when my old computer hard drive crashed. There is a way you can see it, people on here might know how to do it (I can never figure it out). You can try right clicking on her name on the game and travel to her Primary Residence and hope it is the Daggerfall house; but there is also a way to choose which of her houses you want to visit and that is the one I don't know how to do.
