This is the official discussion thread for the blog article Introducing Homestead.

There's no place like home after a long day of adventuring. Homestead, The Elder Scrolls Online's player housing system, is coming in February 2017. Learn what you can expect at launch, including how many homes there will be, how you get them, and details about home decorating and furniture crafting!

    Maybe I missed something, but I dont remember reading anything about storing items in your home. Will be able to store items like in the bank?

    They did say you can place items in your home, and they said you can have chests in your home, but I did not see confirmation as to whether the chests will be functional or decorative. Big open question.

    Chests are just decorative; you won't be able to use them as an extension to your bank. You will be able to place a personal assistant in your home, though.

    Disappointing, but many thanks for confirming.

    Will we be able to use existing motifs for crafting furniture? Or will there be separate motifs coming out?

    Also, what area will the prices be in? 100k? 1 million?

    Super stoked for this!

    Understand if you're not ready to share now, but at some point I'm sure many of us would love to know what the future plans are for inventory space. I've been hoping that housing would bring either functional chests or mannequins that would let me store gear sets outside of bank and inventory. At the moment I have 11 characters just holding stuff and my inventory is still full to bursting. #theorycrafterproblems

    Another feature that would be really nice is setting house permissions for an entire guild, not just individuals. I have at least one guild where everyone would be welcome, but would be a pain to add them one at a time.

    This looks very promising if you are into housing :). Very positive news.

    My question is if (or when) balance and itemization issues will be addressed, or it will be exclusively about housing?

    So pets can roam around your house or did the characters just have pets out following?

    We plan to have a fair amount of skill and item rebalancing in the same update.

    No storage chests? How about weapon racks or mannequins? :'(

    Loving the trophies and achievement vendor idea though - awesome work there!

    But how about those storage chests, mannequins and weapon racks? :D

    Alongside knowing the price of the houses, or at least a figure estimate from @ZOS_GinaBruno, I'd like to know if there are any plans to add mannequins that we can put costumes on?

    I have a ton of costumes I'd love to display in my house. :smile:.
