As the title suggests, if you could only have one house and gold / crowns wasn’t an issue for purchase. Which one do you choose and why?
Things to consider (a lot of which are largely subjective!!):
Location
- Is it close to main & densely player-populated areas?
- Are there easily accessible merchants, crafting stations, etc.?
- Are the guild traders in this area well stocked / considered higher tier?
- Do you like the landscape? Why? Hugely subjective but still important.
- Is it a start or end game location? I.e. You might hate having to go back to an area you cleared on day 3, which now offers nothing more to you. It might also be somewhere you can farm rare sets for personal use/sale or is the start/finish point for dailies you do religiously (E.g. Craglorn houses - proximity to Belkarth for daily writs, Linchal GM for DB dailies, etc.). Though teleporting negates this, I find a lot of people still find it important.
Exterior
- Space – is there too much or not enough?
- Structures – existing stables, barns, towers, balcony’s, etc.?
Interior
- Space – too much / not enough?
- Rooms – enough to satisfy needs (e.g. kitchens, bedrooms, cellars, ), or too many to aptly fit out on the current item limit?
Though the current item limit isn’t sufficient for 9/10 people, let’s run on the assumption that it will be increased at some stage in the hopefully not-so-distant future!
One house that poses a good argument for a lot of the above points is Sleek Creek in Rawl-Kha.
