Are There Weapon/Armor Racks For My House?

Akisohida

Just wondering. I'm the type who likes to display gear I find. You know; little momentos of my adventuring life.
Can I? Can I make weapon displays and armor racks to put gear in so friends can see it when they visit?

Many have been hoping for dummies or mannequins that they can hang old armor on to display, but as far as I am aware there are nothing like that now. Their may be racks that already have weapons on them much like weapon shops but one of the housing experts can speak more on that.

There is not currently, but there should be and honestly, it is something I CAN see them adding down the line.

One of the things that I loved about the original run of Star Wars Galaxies (aside from being able to build your house literally anywhere) was that you could pretty much use ANYTHING you looted as decor. Armor pieces, odd statues or parts...anything.
And since you could set your house for anyone to access people would have their vendor set up and then have displays of many of the items that they were selling or people would have collections of all of their old armor from noob up to endgame.

It would be nice, but I recall when they did it in Skyrim. Nothing but problems. Leave and all your gear is on the floor, or even better, put an armor piece on a dummy and POOF its gone forever

Dummies to display our armor in our homes would be a great addition to housing and storage, even if the actual visual was a general standard render for all of them!

Ideally, we'd be able to see the armor style rendered on the dummies, but even if that's not possible and we could drop the armor pieces in the dummy to keep them together by set, I'd be happy.

Even more ideally, the dummy would count as one furnishing slot and not each individual piece on it, sort of like a miniature 10-12 slot chest. 😍

LOL in Skyrim you also can't forget tiling the entire floor in coins one by one or seeing how many bottles you can fit in from wall to wall.

I would even be happy if once you put the armor on the dummy it locked on and could not be changed again. It would still be a great way to hang older sets

One eerie thing from Skyrim mannequins was how they sometimes moved from where you put them. Or their limbs or stance might be altered.

Yeah.... I finally had to have at least two (and it might have been three....) mods to fix the damn things. *SHUDDER*

Yeah, there's nothing like being in your cellar and actually catching them move out of the corner of your eye. Nope, nope, nope...

Ugh. Yep. Been there done that, have the scars to prove it (okay - not real life scars.... just assume scars on my psyche or something....)

Oh, just FYI.... if you have LotD installed, be very DAMN sure you have every mod that "pretends to fix" mannequins installed. LotD has HUNDREDS of mannequins....

One thing that would be great if they were going to go the Skyrim Hearthfire route would be the greenhouse where you could grow ingredients. That actually worked and looked really cool

Considering many have been asking since housing released, I feel the opposite. For whatever reason Zenimax just refuses to do it when the assets already exist in game.

Weapon racks - go to any major city like wayrest there’s plenty next to merchant stalls.

Weapons themselves - see above, could also just add another function to craftable weapons to make them available as furnishings as well as functional pieces.

Mannequins - check a few houses out in Vvardenfell specifically the Scarlett judge’s house near Suran.

Still nothing outside of a breakable ceremonial greatsword (Ansei sword), a special dagger (blade of woe) and farm tools.
Sorry but the longer time goes on and the more year long themed furnishings go on, the less hope I have for these items making it as furnishings

Bradyfjord

It does seem like a missed opportunity by not adding things like this to the crafting system in some way. Each region of the game could have its own weapon racks/mannequins and other odds and ends. And it doesn't need the level of playtesting that is required for new armor sets and so on.

No there’s not. Maybe one day, but not now. If it ever does come get ready for it to hit your wallet hard. They’ll charge a heap of real money for those because greed.

Not yet, it took us 3 years??? to get walls, ramps, and stairs. Armor and weapon racks are one of the most requested furnishing items though. So maybe some day.

i really want weapon racks and mannequins. as others have said, the assets are there.

please, zos!

Definitely a missed opportunity.. with all the sets and detail level in houses people would eat it up.

Sounds like there is fear from past game mistakes, it really doesnt need to be over complicated with functionality.

Place rack type (weapon or armor)
Interact with rack
Insert desired equipment from inventory menu
Display for glory of the empire

Seems like an easy cash cow to me. First ones free then you're hooked lol.

I'd be happy just to be able to place weapons, armour and other items which have models in the house as furnishings instead of being restricted to items which are specially designated as furnishings. In other TES games I like collecting interesting items for my house, or keeping things I got as quest rewards but can't actually use. I know we have achievement furnishings but that's not really the same.

This. I also liked to keep things I found interesting. Sometimes, I would 'retire' something, and weapon/armor racks were great for that. But tables and corners are great too, depending on the items.

In Morrowind I loaded Crassius' house with all kinds of stuff (after he left the story) before I got around to getting my own home.

Hello,

If you are on PC, you can download the impressive addon Essential Housing Tools (EHT) which let you place items like you mention in your house.

For example:

Weapon Rack:


Weapons:



An (imaginary) Elder Scroll:



The illusion of a flying arrow:



But I agree that a true weapon rack, or armor stand with your own made weapons and armor would be awesome.
This is the second best thing you can get though.

Yeah, it would be really neat if we got to use the -actual- display options that are in the game for our housing, together with some function to set them up with armor & weapon visuals we choose...

I mean, there are such things in the game.
Like... the costume manniquins in a certain tairlors ship in Abah's Landing where you get to pick your clothes for going to a wedding party...

...or the armor manniquins in a certain masked crimefighters home in Vvardenfell...

...or various weapon stands all over the world...


And its not like there haven't been discussions made about this ages ago:

Yeah, well... we don't need that sort of thing in ESO, really, we don't... not in our homes anyhow. I would like to see them as mobs we can hack to pieces tho, as kinda hommage to that glitch back in Skyrim...
