Fair Winds- Stunning 'house boat'

Thee_Cheshire_Cat

The windows in it, are actual windows. You can look down inside, or while inside, see the world outside.

The sounds, the view of the ocean... the SIZE of this thing is just spectacular.

i don't usually like being on boats, as i find them suffocating and confining. Not with this one. The details have been well-thought-out, and it's just.... *Chefs kiss*

If you have a character that is, or may be a captain one day, THIS is the home for them.

There is even a fun detail where other large ships occasionally float by in the distance.

If you jump off, you are caught in the current and have until you pass the boat before you die, to climb back up.

Well done, ESO devs, well done.

I'm waiting for the Shadow Queen's Labyrinth, so it may be a long time before I can add this one to my collection, but I have enjoyed visiting on Preview.
I like hanging out in the upper rigging...







And, there are other things that pass by in the water...
(or, at least there used to be when it was first on the PTS.)

Only bummer is you leave the Zone Chat when you buy the house.

It got quite goofy during the Preview. xD

Khajiit has a dream, he would like to share it with you.

Imagine....
1. Sailing the delightful ship around the fishy seas, finding fishing areas for special fishies and other fun adventures
2. Adding player-craftable armaments as furnishings, with their own slot count and siege-like effects
3. Having ability to assign other players in house to various ship-related tasks such as cannon firing and deck swabbing
4. Having ability to have special "fleet" groups with other players in their ships.
5. Having pve ship battles from comfort of sailing ship home. Destroy the Kraken! Obliterate the Pirates and steal their booty!
6. Having pvp ship battles from comfort of sailing ship home. Sink their fleet for the Glory of our King and/or Queen! Raise the <insert primary color here> banner!

Imagine.

Yarr.

i had a stroke of inspiration over the weekend and decided to build my fair winds house like a warship, using the "surplus siege" furnishings from cyrodiil achievement vendor

so i have a bunch of ballistas on my boat with some catapults on the top and bottom decks (bottom deck would be "storage" obviously)

but theres a lot of really fun ways to set this up, i should go buy some more

We need cannons. There are open cannon ports below deck. Can we have cannons please ZOS?

I love this house/ship, but am having trouble figuring out ways to furnish the top deck while keeping the nautical look and feel. Ideas anyone?

you could add flags like the ones from fargrave home goods or banners.

harbour furnishings like harbour floats or mooring lines.

if you have the high isle angler achievement you could buy a few oars to put near or in the entrance boat.

fishing furnishings would be decent decor as well.
kelp, fishes, seashells, sea sponges, or

Luna Flora, thanks for your recommendations. Much appreciated,

Although the luxury furnisher Zanil offered it not long ago (so i guess u have to wait some time), things like this would fit too...

Yup. That was the "other thing" to which I was referring.

Whoops. Thanks for the info and correction.
Both of those costumes look very similar from the back.
