Housing Questions

Hello. Returning player here. Haven't played for...2 years i think.
I have some questions about housing:

1. I have someone that i'd like to share the house with. ( a girl ofc ). If i am to buy the house, can she set it as a primary residence ? I know there is something like "visiting the player's house but i don't want her to use that.
2. I heard there are some housing permissions. If so, can i give her access to everything house related ? And when i say everything, i really mean everything.
3. What are the benefits of owning a house? (except the: adding blacksmith/woodworking/clothing/alchemy/enchantment stations, "playing" with different furnitures and adding a "training zone"? did i say that correctly ? Tho i have no idea how a training zone looks like.

Thats all for now. Waiting for some answers, thank you and have fun playing ESO !

    You can set it to allow another player access and decorating privlage, that's about full useage I'd say... I'm not sure if another player can set it as a primary residence though!

    1. No
    2. No. You can give her Visitor-access, or Decorator-acces, which mean she can move the furniture around the house, but cannot add or remove anything.
    3. You have all the benefits in your post: crafting and expecially attunable crafting station, that allow you to have any set crafting station in your house (one set/crafting station). You can also have a training dummy (sceleton), that gives you your DPS-numbers. Then you can count fun of decorating, being creative, role-playing, hanging around in your house.

    There are possibly more coming, but nothing for certain yet.

    You cannot share ownership. She can only be a visitor or decorator. She will always have to choose to visit your primary residence.

    Main benefits of housing is for role play or to be creative. There is no storage but if you have assistants you can place them. You can put in regular crafting stations and you can attune crafting stations to allow you to craft set pieces at your home.

    You can have a training skeleton to practice attacking to measure your damage per second. You can buy one with crowns, craft one after earning writ vouchers, out buy one from another player or guild store.

    You cannot share houses. All houses only belong to 1 person - it won't even show up on the map as an owned house for her and she can't set it as her primary residence (which would send her friends there if they picked to visit her). You can only set her to be a visitor, and the most she can have is 'decorator' permissions, which allows her to move items around but not to add or remove them.

    Benefits are fairly minimal. It acts as a free wayshrine, which is more or less useful depending on where the house is. I often use the free inn rooms in Daggerfall and Auridon for this purpose because they're right in a main town (the Ebonheart one is less useful because Davon's Watch has more services).

    Other than that there's attuned crafting stations you can get which allow you to craft sets without going to the set location, which is good for ones in annoying places like Cyrodiil and dungeons. And there's a training skeleton you can buy or craft which lets you do DPS checks.

    Some people enjoy just having a house to decorate of course, or use it as a dueling arena or for role-play.

    Ok,thank you for your answers. It's kinda ruined my mood finding out that she cant add/remove furniture or that she can't set it as a primary residence. maybe they'll "fix" this in the following patches.. thanks again for the fast answers.
