ESO Housing & Decorating, All things Homestead Options

[mALX]

Thought we should have a thread that focuses in on the housing so we can come right here to search out tips for crafting furniture or decorating that we might pick up - or just discuss which houses we want; what our plans are for it; or even just how much gold we have amassed in anticipation,

Me personally - I absolutely LOVE that Redguard home at Hallin's Stand = Twin Arches! (73,000 gold). It is my favorite of the small houses; LOVE that house - and it has its own yard! But ... most def will have to do the Hallin's Stand town quest if you want to shop in the town, lol.

My first choice had been the Redguard house in Sentinel, but I learned in one Youtube vid that we can't decorate the rooftop patio on it - that was kind of a game changer for me; I mean - every rooftop in Sentinel has chairs/urns/pillows - except the Players? I am hoping that person's vid was wrong on that. (325,000 gold).

If I can swing it, I want that island Redguard home in Port Hunding = 1,295,000 gold, and I am not sure I'll be able to swing that one.

So far I have saved up: 795,000 gold.

My plans = when the Crown Store prices are posted, it may completely kill my plans to do this, but for right now my plan would be to hoard my gold I've saved up and buy my home furnished via the Crown Store.

That will give me funds to refurnish it, but also give me furniture to sit on in the 'tween (because I've seen via YouTube how expensive the furniture and decorations you can buy are) - and it may take a while to find the motifs/plans for furniture crafting (and find the mats, because my friend Aussie said they are not very easily found).

Eventually, I'll have it decorated to my own taste instead of the Crown Stores. But of course, all this depends on how many Crowns they will charge, lol.

So what are your plans? Which house has you the most excited?


For anyone who hasn't seen them yet, here are some vids on the housing available with the "Furnished" option active:

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!

[ghastley]

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.

[ghastley]

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.

[ghastley]

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.
