Sorry for delay, were problems with logging in.











Next weekend I'll not be able to post pictures (will be away for a week, 31-7, in another city... playing D&D).
Also, after return, I'll move all furniture from Mournoth Keep to Forsaken Stronghold.

If you like the pictures, I suggest give the picture comment an awesome rating. They login at 2:00am / 3:00am local time to post the pictures for us.

Thanks @Enemoriana !

Yep Whoever priced Clockwork items is insane (nothing new I guess, lots of ZOS prices are ridiculous). Compare that sextant to the telescope for example (which I think has a reasonable price tag for the size, and the lack of all special lights or moving parts or effects).

Reminds me of the Clockwork Trees you get that are Crowns only: 140 Crowns for a single blue tree, 870 Crowns for a single purple tree. Suuure, I'm sure maaany people will buy a single tree at a 520% markup. With current exchange rates, that's ~400,000 gold for each tree.

Yup. There is absolutely no price consistency in this game. 🤣 Some things are egregiously priced for seemingly no reason. I guess Clockwork trees are expensive because they are shiny? 🤔

I've given up on figuring out the mystery - I'm pretty sure a profit department just rolls some dice somewhere to determine the prices, lol. They make very little sense:

1 single House Guests (talking doll for your house) is 2,500 Crowns.
TG DLC which is hours of content, a trial, a skill line, and a Fence (which is a doll for your house AND a service) is 2k.

1 single Fabricant Tree is 870 Crowns.
Markarth DLC with hours of content, an arena, AND new furniture (many of which have special effects, or lights) is 2k.

A tree with animated petals falling all around it is 2,000 gold at a regular Housing Vendor.
A tiny sextant with no lights, effects, or moving parts is 75,000 gold.

I really can't see the logic, and apparently prices aren't determined based on complexity / effort either.

Thank you for the thorough sleuthing. 👍 I'm going to go with the dice roll theory too. RNG at ZOS marketing department?
