Have you made Antiquarian’s Alpine Gallery your new main home?

idk · October 8

If you received this new home free have you made it your new main home or even a home you are using other than to store furniture?

I am undecided at this point. I have merely added the new "house guest" and a mount, both with pathing. All I really use a home for is DPS dummies and generic crafting stations with access to my banker and merchant assistants.

BTW, this is not a dis on this home as it is very different than the other two homes we have received freeish with the last two chapters and other homes in the game. Personal taste plays a big role in our choices.

Nope - will continue to use Mournoth Keep. Also was out of space for "special collectibles" so not using the houseguest. Sampled her chat in another house, and figured she is not needed.

This will never be my main home because each of my characters already have their own main homes. And it's really not a good design for a private home.

Right now I am using it to display a lot of large items that didn't fit into my other homes. But I am thinking about turning it into a lodge with sitting areas in the lobby, and a dining room set up with buffet tables, guest rooms upstairs, and a wine tasting area on the outside deck.

EvilAutoTech · October 8

I have not yet changed this to my primary. I need to move some of my attunable stations over first.

Morwaenna · October 8

Yes I did and after several hours of furnishing it I instantly regretted it and wished I could have my temple home back.

ArchMikem · October 8

Yup. Bit less practical than Lucky Cat Landing, but much prettier. I themed it around being a Khajiit Embassy.

doomette · October 8

I would for my console account, but my current primary residence is used by friends not in any of the bigger guilds with all the bells and whistles in their guild house, and I don’t want to take up slots in the antiquarian house to move that stuff over.

Pinesy · October 8

Nah. It doesn't feel very home-y to me. I will enjoy filling it out with treasures as I find them, though

My primary is my mystical blue glowy cave. I love the aesthetic of it, even though I decorated it over a year ago. (It's open for visits, too!)

markulrich1966 · October 8

no, I use Forgemaster Falls as primary. It is several times larger, so when I teleport there to store something in the chests, I often end up half an hour just going to the several different locations I have set up there.

a small Park with moving animals at the top waterfall,
a gallery in the mainbuilding
a gallery in greenhouses on the water with a wide view to the sea and the psychedelic music of the psijic jukebox
another one at the bottom waterfall
a cave at the cliffs

Normal houses don't attract me long to stay, but large compounds inviting to climb and exploring pathways do

Oreyn_Bearclaw · October 8

Nope, feels very much like a second home, cabin in the woods type of thing.

I do like it. I still keep everything at Bearclaw Manor (Ebonheart Chateu). It is not technically a guild hall, but if I were to change it, i would need to do it quick because enough people use it. Honestly, doubt that will ever change. I will say that this is the first house in years that I am sort of itching to decorate, but I am unlikely to add the necessities it needs to be a primary (transmute, crafting, Trial dummies, etc).

Donny_Vito · October 8

The idea of decorating another home is burdensome, mainly due to my lack of interest in housing. To be fair, I felt the same about the Psijic one too. I'll check it out this weekend though, and see if any of my guild mates have made it their primary.

CaffeinatedMayhem · October 8

Working on the Gallery's build, no it will not ever be my main. It will be opened when finished.

NaranjaIslands · October 8

I always loved going to the museum as a kid... So now I'm building a museum of my own in TESO.

Taleof2Cities · October 8

It's a great topic question, @idk.

But, no, I've had Twin Arches for years as my primary ... no reason to change now I guess.

joerginger · October 8

No, all the crafting stations and Mudus stones are at the Coldharbour place and that needs to be able to be used as guild crafting place. So that house has to remain my primary residence forever.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · October 8

Nope. It does not feel like a home to me (no defined areas to use as bedroom/bathroom/kitchen, etc.). I'm just using it as a dumping ground for excess furnishings. My main home will always be the Grand Psijic Villa.

Langdon64 · October 8

No. But it will become a grand library.

theskymoves · October 8

No. It's going be another storage house, like the Psijic Villa and the Hall of the Lunar Champion.

Odovacar · October 8

No. But then again I'm not too interested in housing. I just have my dps dummies and odds and ends from achievements. I did walk through it though, lol.

Fischblut · October 8

It's very-very nice house, I love the watery area there. But so far, no house could replace Ebonheart Chateau for me

i've used the first floor as the main bedroom, the second floor as the "trophy" room but i've also built another floor above the top floor using planks of wood and stones for a staircase to create another bedroom. I'm no architect so it looks rough but serves a purpose.

zaria · October 8

Nope, its still serenity falls, might move it to Hall of the Lunar Champion down the line.
Primary Khajiit and the lower item limit and long way to wayshrine make its most relevant for storing spare seats of the snow prince

Destai · October 8

Glorified storage closet. With no nearby Wayshrines or valuable locations, it's kinda pointless to me.

My main home is Sleek Creek, with its proximity to Rawl'kha - grab crafting writs, do my horse training, and sell my stolen goods. Alinor Townhouse, Quondam Indorilia, Snugpod, and Old Mistveil are backups for various characters that have good locations and layouts.

BigBragg · October 8

Not for me. May casually make it into a cabin getaway, but I have invested too much in putting together my Earthtear to swap it out.

Sylvermynx · October 8

For my "main main" yes. My other NA main (second account) uses Thieves Oasis. The EU accounts I'm not sure yet.

RavenLake · October 8

The Alpine house was built to house antiquities, not really to "live" in imo. I have the Lunar Champion house and Twin Sands, but neither of those is truly "homey" to me. I've yet to find one I really like.

SpacemanSpiff1 · October 8

no, it is storage house #3 for me. not a bad property, but i'm not moving out of serenity falls.

carthalis · October 8

Yes I've made it into my new primary home. As much as I love the manor in Summerset, this one is nice with the cabin style feel and water areas

gatekeeper13 · October 8

Still have Mournoth Keep as my main house but spend enough time in Alpine Gallery, placing antiquities.

Love the new house.

faeeichenlaub · October 8

In my headspace I turned it into a alpine Nordic lodge restaurant and inn. Huge all you can eat buffet table. Stammtisch for the regulars. Fully stocked bar, big hearth fireplace. ax throwing/games. Live Crab tank (pathed pets). I added a whole Inn area w 3 guest rooms making a 4th floor.

I need an eso+ weekend to add more to it but even at 300 furnishing looks pretty awesome. Hoping for bards and the new housguests to really bring it to life.
I think it's a great fun home.

Xillean · October 8

Yes but mainly because is the best home I have. I do have Lunar Champion but dont care for that one to much and didn't actively play during the Psijic House event to get that one.

I do like it but as others have said its not really a home more like a gallery which im sure was the point, I do like the idea of making it a lodge or restaurant of sorts.
