Homestead
Released February 6, 2017 - PC/Mac, Consoles - Patch Notes
This free update introduces the player housing system with 39 uniquely-themed homes that can be acquired throughout Tamriel. With over 2,000 individual decorative and furniture options, plus Furnishing Crafting, players will have a lot of options available to make a house a Homestead, especially with being absolutely freely able to decorate it the way a player wants to, except for set elements like the house itself.
Homestead
- Homes can be purchased with gold or crowns
- Acquiring a Home:- Purchase the home in the Crown Store for crowns- Find Canthion the Housing Broker to acquire a quest that grants you a free apartment (one per alliance)- Find homes scattered across Tamriel, make sure you have the prerequisites, and purchase them for in-game gold
- The Housing Editor:- The Place tab allows you to place furnishings and collectibles from a categorized list of available options- The Purchase tab contains a large list of furnishings available for a la carte crown purchase- In addition to directly selecting any placed items in editor mode, you may also retrieve placed furnishings from a list of placed items in the Retrieve tab of the editor, without needing to locate them in the home- You can also search each tab by item name to further filter your results
- Home Decoration:- After you enter a home you own, you can enter the housing editor and start placing furnishings- Once placed, a furnishing is removed from your inventory or bank and is stored in the house, counting towards the maximum number of items that can be placed in the home- You can place each object at any location and at any angle. The only limitation beyond the Furnishing caps is there is a small safe area near the main entrance which cannot be filled with items- In addition to furnishing items, you can also place assistants, mounts, non-combat pets, and a new category of furnishing collectibles called Trophies that includes Undaunted Busts
- Furnishing crafting also utilizes several additional types of materials- Woodworking Blueprints primarily use Heartwood, from lumber nodes- Blacksmithing Diagrams primarily use Regulus, from ore nodes- Clothing Patterns primarily use Bast, from fibrous plants, or Clean Pelts, from beasts and other sources of leather- Alchemy Formulas primarily use Alchemical Resin, from mushrooms and alchemy plants- Enchanting Praxises primarily use Mundane Runes, from runestones- Provisioning Designs primarily use Decorative Wax, from crates, barrels, and other sources of provisioning ingredients
