Some simple housing questions
Reivax
✭✭✭✭
I haven't gathered much materials yet, maybe enough to craft one thing, so I hesitate to waste them learning, so pardon these simple questions...
All my players can enter and travel to all my houses? They'll all enter and see the same decorations or furniture?
If I make something, like a bed or shelf, and I place it in my pitiful little room at Rosy Lion, can I later move it to a new home I have?
Are the decorations bound once placed? or can you use for a bit, then sell or trade to another player?

✭Yes, all your characters can use all your houses. Houses are shared across you account, and that includes decoration. So if your main puts down a table in your inn room, Alt 1 can go in and interact with that table, and maybe add a plate to it or something.
Yep, you can move furniture between homes. To take a placed item, you can go into the editor, select the item, and press R to return it to your inventory. Then, just carry it to your new home and place it there.
Once you place an item, it is account-bound. So, you can't place an item in your inn room, then decide you're going to try to sell it. Once you place an item, it's yours forever. - Nope, this only applies to achievement items. The more you know.

The third point is unfortunate. I search, grind, find a recipe so I can make item x, I use item x for a while and then find item y, which is an upgrade to x, it would be nice not to just lose that effort but to be able to replace and sell or trade the original.PS4 -NA ADWood Elf - StamNB - DPSNord - MagDK - TankHigh Elf - MagSorc - DPSDark Elf - Mag Warden- Healer1 -
Reivax✭✭✭✭I have another question, I'll just add it here.
If I buy a furnished house with Crowns, can i move the furnishings that come with it same like moving the ones i make? or are the purchased furnishings stuck to the house they were bought with?0 -

I don't think that is correct... I got the free house, purchased a table as required by the quest, and once I got some recipes/blueprints, I crafted some shelves, a cup, and a candle and started filling my hole on the wall.
A few days later my Mara purchased a house with Crowns, and gave me decorator permissions. First thing I did was pack up all my stuff and brought it to her home. I handed her all the items and then she placed them on the floor so we could start moving stuff around.
That suggests crafted items are not account bound.

Tevalaur✭✭✭✭✭I do believe that the only items that are account-bound are the achievement-based purchases and attunable crafting stations.┌───────────────────────────────┐Author of Sunshine Daydream's Guide to Crafting└───────────────────────────────┘Is Uncle John's band calling you?

Flashygrrl✭✭✭Yeah, regular house stuff is not account-bound. Was one of the first things I checked.
Crown stuff isn't stuck in your purchased house either, it's account bound so it just gets plopped in your inventory.1 -
Reivax✭✭✭✭I bought a furnished house. I tested and the furnishings included with it can be moved to my other house, but they are account bound.
They have a crown icon next to them in inventory, too.
So far, that I can see, nothing I've made is "bound" even once placed.
None of the furnishings I've found in the "wild" are bound once placed.
The two achievement based furnishings I've bought so far were bound.
Most common furnishing I've found: Ink wells. I think I have about 10 of then.
Coolest furnishing so far: Cheese Slicer (you can buy it after doing Public Dungeon dailies achievement)
Most creative thing I've tried: I found a hatchet, and I rotated it so that it looked stuck in the wood pile. And I placed a pie, and rotated about 5 knives to all look stuck in it at angles.
Before wasting tons of gold on furnishings at a guild vendor, go to all in-game vendors (NPCs) and familiarize yourself with what can be purchased. MANY guild vendors are selling furnishings you can buy in-game for 150-250 gold, at prices in the thousands.
Most in game vendors sell something. I think Weaponsmith and Armorer are only two that don't have something for sale.
Thank you for everyone's help and answers.

Thank you for the correction. I had read in early patch notes somewhere (probably on PTS) that all items were bound once placed. Glad they changed it. Living vicariously through my characters.

cyberjanet✭✭✭✭✭If it helps, I crafted a bed and placed it in a house. Then I decided I wanted a bigger bed, took the old one out and sold it at the guild store.
Used furniture, looks good as new.Favourite NPC: Wine-For-All
Mostly PC-EU , with a lonely little guy on NA.1
