Water's Edge

bridgetrose · June 2021

I thought Water's Edge would be available the first day. I'm not seeing it.

The crownstore on the website says it is now available, although I'm not in game yet to confirm.

Thanks. Didn't think to look in the Crown store. Too busy looking at the Blackwood map and not seeing it.

would it be possible to get the Ivory Brigade Clasp also in reward chests from delve quests?
it seems to this one, theses items drop only in world boss rewards?
cause this one cannot do world bosses alone

If it’s in the new zone, just show up and there should be plenty of other players there already.

The only problem you might have is doing enough damage to get the loot.

you get the style material only from worldboss dailies reward chest, there is sometimes an Ivory Brigade Clasp in it or from deconstructing. its not because of crafting a setpiece, you need it for crafting leyawiin furniture.
the stylematerial in other chapters dropped usually in reward chests for both dailies. delve and world bosses, but now not.
thats why this one ist so sad.

I see. Like Markarth you could get Arkthzand Sprockets style mat from either delve or world boss daily, though it was only a chance (unlike Elsweyr and Summerset where it was guaranteed).

I guess it means they have further reduced our ability to get these new style mats in the new zone. Instead of a chance of getting one from each, it’s now a chance of only getting one per day.

That is unfortunate and unfair in my view.

thats right, it drops only in worlboss rewards and even there its not guaranteed like - example - Culanda lacquer in Alinor rewards. also there is only one set, frostbite, you can deconstruct to get additional ones.
its really boring and sad to get those items. how should this one get enough to furnish waters edge?
its really unfair

That makes me glad I don’t plan on buying any Blackwood houses.

I am still doing dailies for Markarth to get Sprockets. Down to at least one toon now, after months of doing them on multiple toons.

I made a post about it when Markarth launched but couldn’t get anyone to chime in about it also.

I remember the fuss when Summerset launched and the only way to get the Culanda Lacquer was through the daily, that was a big deal then and people got real upset, yet it was a guaranteed drop there.

Now there is RNG in the daily and the lack of outrage is causing this kind of creep that is getting worse each update.

The Culanda Lacquer was not a guaranteed drop from the start in Summerset - they changed it after a while because people complained. While it would be no problem for players that only want to craft their armor with it (and who does these days when you can change the looks) it is a big bother for every housing project where you easily need hundreds of those to furnish a house.

I would love for ZOS to make it not so irregular and thus difficult to get style mats that are also needed for housing - it would be nice to have a guaranteed reliable drop from dailies for example.
It was at least better in Markarth with the sprockets - you had to work for them but got them reliably with dailies.

I had a chance to wander around the waters edge house it's a really nice space with potential. I also had a chance to go to pantherfang chapel. I really love the layout. But I can tell by looking through it that it will be difficult to actually furnish this notable home. Given the size, I also realized how lonely it looks with no activity at either place. Waters edge needs people walking around and town street noise. People laughing, dogs barking horses neighing people passing by in carriages etc. As for pantherfang it needs pious people walking around, it's a fort it needs guards, stableboys, house keepers, grounds keepers all kinds of people. If we are going to have these wonderful homes let them come alive! Just my two cents. As for obtaining the home I am rethinking my purchase of either of these. 6000 crowns is a lot of crowns to spend on a home that is devoid of any activity in the middle of a busy city. Don't get me wrong I love the architecture of the house but it is devoid of life.

@Alurria You can use house guest to walk around the perimeter of your home. I saw someone do it with Proudspire Manor. They had housequest walking outside the house. It made the outside area come alive.

P.S. Just do all the Blackwood quest and buy Waters Edge with gold.
