We need Mannikens and Weapon Racks in the Game for Housing

So many of us would love to be able to load a particular weapon or armor on a rack in the house. This would add both functionality and beauty. Please do this ZoS!

Agreed.

I totally support this. Even if mannequins were a crown store only item for $5 each I would still buy several.

Mannequins*

yeah i can't for the life of me figure out why i cant have a weapon rack to load weapons onto, or display cases to display different types of trinkets/daggers/collectibles/treasures

I'd set an image of some mannekins I've seen in game (Suran) in the Scarlet Hero's house but its a bit more work than I'd like to make an effort for.

I'm pretty sure it's a work in progress that we'll get when it's ready.

It'll be interesting to see how they implement it. The quick and nasty way is a motif furnisher vendor who sells a mannequin of an armour set which is locked behind knowing the entire style.

I'm hoping they are doing something a bit more in depth than that...

And weapon/armour info ☺

Absolutely! 100% behind this idea.

Several posts have suggested adding mannequins/dummies to housing. I think that's a GREAT idea.
Given the need to wear dropped gear rather than crafted -- at least in part -- it's hard to display the cool armor you can craft. Mannequins could solve that problem.

Mannequins are a way to introduce a SMALL amount of storage to housing. Whatever the reasons are for not having more commodious storage in houses, mannequins might not violate them.

Mannequins might be the easiest way for multiple characters to share our best/most valuable gear. So coming home for a quick-change might be a great reason to keep visiting our houses.

Perhaps they could come in two sizes -- full-body and head-shoulders-only. The latter, of course, would be ideal for monster gear.

I don't know how hard it would be to code this up. There certainly are mannequins in the game now, most obviously in the Thieves Guild quest line and upstairs at the Vile Manse. But I suspect that those use some quick-and-dirty shortcuts that wouldn't work in a robust version. So I'm not holding my breath.

But mannequins would be really, really, really nice to have.

Need? You mean want.

I would wholeheartedly agree with this... as long as the mannekins looked like banekins...

Solariken · July 2017

Functional mannequins would be neato. I would like to see farming (and item cap increase) first but that is personal preference.

Bannekin Mannekins sound cool - and I like that you said that because it reminds me of how an Aussie bud of mine would say that.

Also Npcs as well, empty cradle is bad and empty beds bad

Yes, would very much like to have armor mannequins. I would buy a house if they add them or some other type of storage.

Would also pay for them in the crown store.

mewcatus · July 2017

+1 for a great idea.

@dodgehopper_ESO When i was doing the scarlet judge quest i went into a house that was part of the quest and saw 6 of these (mannequins) around.. I have never seen them in ESO before so it made wonder if they might be coming sometime...

Personally i think they should just make our offline characters place-able like mounts are..That way you set it up, place it in your house and never have to interact with it. But i would take anything tbh.

I have a picture of my character with his arms up in the air questioningly next to a pair of mannekins in the hopes of showing my point. It was from exactly this location in the Scarlet Judge's house in Suran.
