Housing

Overview

The housing system allows you to acquire and decorate homes throughout the world. Homes are available in many sizes, cultural styles, and locations. After you acquire a home, you may begin to decorate it with furnishings and can fast travel to the interior or exterior of the home free of cost.With a home, players can do any of the following:

• Decorate the home to match your desired look.
• Teleport to the inside or outside of the home free of charge.
• Host friends and guildmates.
• Display trophies and treasures from dungeons, trials, and arenas.
• Use crafting and dye station furnishings.
• Practice combat rotations against training dummies.
• Duel fellow players, except inside of inn rooms.
• Place assistants, pets, mounts, and houseguests, plus have them follow custom paths.
• And much more.

How to Access

Acquiring your first home is easy. Seek out Felande Demarie in major cities such as Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall, and Davon's Watch. She is inside inns looking for someone to give an inn room to. After you agree to own the inn room, the inn room from that city is added to your collections, and she gives you an item listing all the houses available for purchase using gold.

You can purchase most homes for gold or crowns. Homes that are purchasable for gold are listed in the housing Collections Menu under the "Not Collected" category. Selecting houses in this category shows you any purchase requirements. Selecting "Preview House" teleports you to the home. You can then purchase the home by pressing F5.

You can purchases some homes using either crowns or gold. These houses are listed on the Crown Store and in your "Not Collected" category in the Housing section of the Collections Menu. When you preview these homes, you can choose between the Unfurnished or Furnished versions. Only the Unfurnished home is purchasable for gold, but paying with crowns allows you to purchase a home without meeting any requirements.

Homes that are purchasable only by using crowns are in the Crown Store under Houses or on zone maps. These houses have two versions on offer: Unfurnished and Furnished. Furnished homes include a wide array of hand-placed furnishings, at a dramatic discount compared to buying those furnishings individually. Most Crown Store houses are available for only a short period of time before they are cycled out. Most homes return eventually, but it may be a long time before they come back up for sale.

Houses

Homes come in many styles, sizes, and shapes. The location of the house determines several of these factors. Most homes match the style of the zone they're in, but this isn't always the case. It's always worth previewing a home to see how it looks and feels before you decide to purchase.

The size of a home determines how many furnishings a player can place within it. There are three general house sizes: Staple, Classic, and Notable. As the house size increases, so does the furnishing limits. You can find these limits in the housing editor when browsing your furnishings. These limits are doubled for ESO Plus members.

Once you own a home, you can teleport to the inside or outside of the home free of cost, so pay attention to the location when purchasing a home since it might help you get around quickly and cheaply.

Housing Editor Basic Overview

When in one of your homes, you can open your housing editor by pressing F5. In this mode, you can hover over any placed furnishings and press |k200.0%:114|k to edit their placement, change their angle, or put them away. You can press |k200.0%:114|k to confirm your edits, or X to cancel.While in the Housing Editor and not selecting a furnishing, press R to open the Housing Editor Menu. On the left is the information about the house, such as the house's name, its location, furnishing limits, primary residence status, population, and permissions. On the right is the Housing Editor.

• The first tab in the Housing Editor is for placing furniture from your inventory, bank, or storage. You can use the categories to find the furnishings you wish to place or search for the name. All you need to do is press |k200.0%:114|k on the furnishing and press R to preview the placement in your home.

• The second tab in the Housing Editor is the Purchase tab, which allows you to purchase furnishings for crowns. These furnishings are a mixture of Crown Store exclusive furnishings, some in-game furnishings, and craftable furnishings.

• The third tab in the Housing Editor is for editing any placed furnishing in the current home. To retrieve or edit placed furnishing, select the furnishing from the list and then choose what you wish to do with it.

• The fourth tab in the Housing Editor is the Settings tab. Here you can set a home to be your primary residence, as well as change visitor permissions, banlists, and current occupants of your home.

Housing Editor Advanced Tools

The housing editor has several tools you can use to help decorate your house more precisely and easily.

The editor has a few filters you can use to search for furnishings within their Category and help narrow down which furnishings you want to place. Also, you can place furnishings directly from your inventory by right clicking the item and choosing Place.When you have a furnishing selected, you can choose different modes of alignment for placement:

• Pressing |k200.0%:115|k aligns the furnishing to the closest surface.

• Pressing T toggles on or off Surface Drag, which causes the furnishing to stick to the closest surface as you move it around.

While hovering over a placed furnishing, you can do a couple of things other than just picking them up.

• Pressing TABULATOR lets you cycle through any overlapping furnishings.

• Pressing F enters Precision Mode, which is used to move or rotate furnishings by specific increments along Straightening and Aligning.

• Pressing |k200.0%:115|k lets you Link placed furnishings together. You can move and rotate linked furniture together if you edit the parent furnishing.

Permissions

You can set custom permissions on each individual house that you own, or choose to keep them all the same. You can edit these in the Settings section of the House Editor while in your homes. There are four permission types, along with the ability to ban other players:

• No Access: Other players cannot enter your home.
• Limited Visitor: Other players can enter your home but can't use any of your interactable furnishings.
• Visitor: Other players can enter your home and use your interactable furnishings.
• Decorator: Other players can enter your home and move placed furniture, but they can't remove or add any furniture.

In the General tab, you can set your default visitor access for your home. In the Visitors tab you can add specific players and adjust their specific permissions. In the Guild Visitors tab you can also add a specific guild to your visitor list and give them specific permissions.

In the Banlist tab you can add any player you wish to ban entry into your home. You can also ban entire guilds from entering your home in the Guild Banlist tab. Any player who is on a banlist is not allowed to enter your home even if they are in a guild that has been given access.

If necessary, you can kick current occupants out of your home by right clicking on their name in the Occupants tab.

Furnishings

Furnishings are items or collectibles that you can place inside your home. Some are just decorative, while others are interactable and offer special functionality, such as lighting, crafting, storage, and so much more. You can place furnishings anywhere, including having them float, clip into walls, and exist outside of playable space such as in water, behind walls, on ceilings, etc. As long you have the space and resources, you can do whatever you see fit in your home.

Item furnishings can have as many instances of them placed in your houses as there is furnishing space and quantity in your inventory or bank. Once a furnishing is placed, they leave your inventory or bank.

Collectible furnishings can have only one instance of them placed in a home, but you can place them in every home at the same time. As long as you have space and have them unlocked, you can place them.

Special item and collectible furnishings are categories for the furnishings that are more intense on you and your guests' systems. These have much lower limits on how many you can place in a home. Special item and collectible furnishings placements still act the same as their standard counterparts.

You can preview furnishings that have extra functionality before placement by cycling through their furnishing states in the preview window before you place them. Once placed, you can choose the state the furnishing is in, or interact with it to use it. Any player who has the correct permissions can interact with these functional furnishings.

Some furnishings require placement on a flat surface before you can interact with them. This is indicated by a green or yellow outline. Green means you can interact with it, while yellow means you won't be able to interact with it in its current location.

Crafting Furniture

Players can find crafting recipes for furnishings throughout the world. A recipe is a single-use item that once consumed unlocks the ability to craft that recipe at its tradeskill's crafting bench. Each recipe has a main ingredient that determines which crafting station a player needs to use to craft that furnishing.

To craft a furnishing, first interact with a craft bench, and open the Blueprints tab. This contains a list of that specific tradeskill's recipes you currently know. Next, select a furnishing you want to craft, and if you have all the necessary ingredients, you can craft that furnishing.

Crafted furnishings are not bound and can be stored in your bank or sold to other players and vendors. You can also preview and purchase all crafted furnishings in the Purchase tab of the Housing Editor for crowns.

Master Writ Furnishings

You can purchase some furnishings and furnishing plans from Rolis Hlaalu or Faustina Curio by completing Master Writs. Look for these vendors in the cities of Elden Root, Wayrest, or Mournhold. Many of these furnishing plans are locked behind certain requirements or require you to have maxed out a tradeskill to craft them.

Rolis Hlaalu offers training dummy crafting plans, crafting stations, seven rotating furnishing plans, and more. Every odd update, Rolis Hlaalu's rotating furnishing plans are moved to Faustina Curio and he receives seven new furnishing plans.

Faustina Curio offers furnishing plans from previous updates and the Grand Master Crafting Stations. These offerings include previous Folios of rotating furnishing plans from Rolis Hlaalu, along with Documents that contain furnishing plans exclusive to different zones. Every odd update, Rolis Hlaalu's rotating furnishing plans are added to her offering and the previous offerings are bundled together into a Folio.

Storage Furnishings

Storage furnishings are collectible furnishings that you can place in a home and use to access a set amount of personal storage. Each of these furnishings has their own separate storage space. Every home's version of these furnishings will have the same contents.

To use a storage furnishing, you need to place the furnishing in your home. When you interact with it, a storage menu will pop up where you can deposit or withdraw any item. You can access a specific storage furnishing's inventory only in a home.

You can acquire storage collectibles from Rolis Hlaalu for Master Writs, any Tel Var General Merchant, or the Crown Store. You also acquire a single unique storage collectible from the Level Up Rewards system.

Attunable Crafting Stations

Attunable crafting stations are special items that you can use to duplicate an item set crafting station from the world into a furnishing that you can place in your home for your convenience.

Attunable crafting stations need to be "attuned" at an item set crafting area before they can be placed in your home. There are attunable stations for all four durable equipment types: Blacksmithing, Clothing, Jewelry, and Woodworking. If you wish to make every piece of a set in your home, you need to attune one Blacksmithing, Clothing, Jewelry, and Woodworking station at the desired crafting stations in world.

To attune a station, locate the crafting station in the world that you want to attune your station to and stand next to it. While standing next to it, locate the station in your inventory under "Items" and use it. It then changes to become that type of station.

The newly attuned crafting station is found in your Furnishing section in your inventory. You can now travel to any of your homes and place it as a furnishing.

You can purchase Attunable Crafting Stations from the Master Writ vendor Rolis Hlaalu.

Grand Master Crafting Stations

Grand Master Crafting Stations allow you to craft items from many different item sets at the same station. You can purchase them from Faustina Curio in Elden Root, Wayrest, or Mournhold for 1,500 Writ Vouchers, provided you have completed the "Grand Master Crafter" achievement.

To unlock sets, place the Grand Master Crafting Station in your home, then press "Add Item Sets" to select previously attuned item set stations to consume. Only the owner of the Grand Master Crafting Station can add item sets, and those set stations are consumed in the process.

Character Pathing

You can create paths for your pets, mounts, assistants, and houseguests to follow. In the housing editor, press Q while targeting an eligible character to create a new path. Once created, you'll see a node under that character and another node held in front of you like a furnishing.

You can use these nodes to mark the path you want that character to follow, and once you confirm your path edits, the character will immediately start walking from node to node. When possible, they prefer to walk on solid ground, but they may float if they don't have anything beneath them to stand on. Characters also avoid sharp turns, rounding them off instead. The faster they are moving, the wider this rounding may be.

By default, new nodes are added to the end of the path with |k200.0%:115|k, but you can also add nodes in the middle of the path by first targeting a previously placed node.You can access the Path Settings menu with R while editing a path to change the path type, swap in a new character from your collection with the Change Object setting, or pause pathing for the character temporarily.

You can choose from three types of path in this menu:

• Ping Pong: The character walks down the path until they hit the end, and then walk back to the beginning.

• Loop: The last node in the path is connected back to the first node, forming a circle.

• Random: Each time the character reaches a node, they choose their next location at random from the rest of the nodes in the path.

When targeting or editing a node, use U to adjust the character's movement speed as they approach that node, choosing from walk, jog, run, or sprint. You can choose how long the character pauses at each node with I, from 0 seconds (no pause), all the way up to 3 minutes.

Training Dummies

Training Dummies are furnishings that allow you to test your builds against opponents of varying difficulties. These opponents have health and stats similar to various bosses and enemies, but they do not fight back. Each Training Dummy displays how much health it has in its description.

You can purchase Training Dummies on the Crown Store occasionally, but you can also craft them using recipes from the Master Writ Vendor, Rolis Hlaalu.

If your permissions allow it, visitors can also train against Training Dummies in homes.

Furnishing Vendors

Many furnishings can be purchased only from vendors throughout the world. There are four general types of vendors that sell furnishings: Achievement, Home Goods, Luxury, and Master Writ.

Each zone will have an Achievement vendor and a Home Goods vendor. You can find these in most larger cities and each has unique offerings based on their location. You can purchase their furnishings for gold, and their offerings will not rotate.

You can purchase an Achievement vendor's wares only after completing specific achievements or completing an antiquities codex entry. You can find these requirements when hovering over a red item on their store.

The Luxury Vendor, Zanil Theran, carries a specialized selection of furnishing that rotates every two weeks. Zanil is in either Coldharbor's Hollow City near the bank or at Craglorn's Belkarth Festival Grounds. You can purchase his wares only on weekends.

The Master Writ vendors, Rolis Hlaalu and Faustina Curio, are in the cities Elden Root, Wayrest, or Mournhold. They carry a variety of wares that are expanded every odd update.
