Is this true??

Edit; this is not official. Just estimated value of items with crowns in house.

[Edited title to be more accurate for content]

"Furnished crown value should not be mistaken for an approximation of how much the furnished version of a house will cost. It is simply taking the furniture found in those houses and seeing how much those items are indiviually in the Crown Store on the PTS."

Nope. Nothing official. Just speculation.

I was so dissappointed with zos when i first see this. I mean 25k for a medium house thats insane. Its like half price of minimum salary in my country. Just for medium house. o.o

Take this with a ton of salt. Nothing is confirmed yet

Try reading the post?

These are approximate totals of the "value" of the furnishings inside of each furnished house based on the crown prices for individual furnishings.

In other words, these are decision-making metrics unrelated to crown price.

I didn't know GW2 Heart of Thorns had player housing

Patient lets be patient and wait for official info.

There's some housing prices listed in the PTS patch notes but I do not know if that will carry over to live.

I don't think it lists Crown prices.

No crown pricing there. Whenever there is PTS testing of stuff and there are crown store items, the crown prices are always 1 crown.

If the house are close to those crown store prices I think it will be the end for me

Exactly! If they ask like 100$ for crown exclusives that would be greedy. 1 house more than game itself dlc and stuff.

On PTS, if you buy an unfurnished house and then use the buy option for furniture there are prices shown. They range between 50-400 crowns per item. I spent 5k crowns in 15 minutes, putting down a couple of carpets, a bed, a table, a couple of benches and chairs and some lights. My house still looks extremely... minimalistic.

When a single table or bed or carpet costs 400 crowns I can only imagine what a house will cost...

@Cyrediath

The crown prices did the home have not been revealed if it's an estimate.

Well, I hope 400 crowns per item isnt the final price... Otherwise its kinda pathetic. XD
I dont care about housing, but I feel bad for those who do if these prices will make it to live server.

Lets assume some of the figures are true, there will be some people who will pay out for this and defend it whilst having the neck to complain about crown crates. The amount of people who have stated on here that they'd happily pay 20k-30k for housing on here have more or less told ZoS they'd be mugs to charge only 5500 crowns per house when they'd be willing to be bent over a barrel and fleeced for $100's.

At the end of the day, it's us that ultimately set the prices found within the CS because if items didn't sell ZoS would be forced to lower some of the prices.

Loomis · January 2017

Lol 25k crowns .... 230 ish US dollars ... I highly doubt zos would be that stupid for in game digital fluff on a game shop store that would be unheard of

But who knows... I'm all about free markets so I hope they charge as much as they can get whether it's 1 million at 10 bucks a piece or 10,000 players at 1000 bucks a piece ... Or 4000 players 230 bucks ..... Finding the sweet spot for the most revenue is what free markets are all about

Most I would pay would prolly be 50 bucks for a nice one if I decided to get one ... Still not sure I really want one yet though not sure it's really does anything other than fluff albeit have not read anything on benefits yet

It'd be nice if that were actually true. We have no say so in their pricing. They'll do what they want regardless of how you feel about the subject.

TheValkyn · January 2017

45,900 crowns for a furnished home? No, even ZOS isn't that inept. That's a little more than $330 for a housing item... Their competition titles sell it for $10.

Indeed. Use a whole salt-lick, because this could change, or even be completely off the mark.

Only way to be sure of the Crown prices for Houses? Just wait and see.

That means a furnished Earthtear Cavern would cost $475 USD. I don't see them doing that at all. That's a ridiculous amount.

As far as individual items...I remember when RIFT introduced dimensions (their version of housing), you could buy individual items from their cash shop as well. My friend and I made a guild hall that included 6 buildings, a trail up a mountain, a sunken ship in the lake, and all sorts of random decorations. We hit the cap on space for items, and we ended up spending a combined $20. The dimension itself cost...I think $5? So $25 total for an unfurnished into furnished housing area. That seemed reasonable to us, and we both worked in fast food at the time, so I figure that's about what ESO will charge.

yes! its also good for players like rp. imo i would feel good with 1 crown pack 35 euros i guess max for crown exclusives so i would be happy and with time i would buy my furnitures also i would feel like im supportin the game and it wouldnt effect me much but 100 dollar is a lot really. it would be too greedy. i really dont expect something like that even for manors, which in my opinion crown exclusives will be cheaper because no tite etc and people will want to buy 3 manors for title and zos should keep the price reasonable so people will see buying 3 manors reasonable.

Yeah I remember Rift dimensions being very cheap, I had a couple.

Obviously it's speculation, but I have a feeling that anybody thinking a manor will be in the 5k crown range is going to have kittens when the prices are released. There has to be some correlation between gold and crowns. 3.8 million gold is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in this game (other than guild trader spots). I expect the crown price to be equally out of line with what we have seen so far.

My guess is 25k for a manor.

I think you will be able to get a house for 5k crowns, but I don't think it will be a big one.

rotaugen454 · January 2017

If these prices were real, they'd have to sell crowns in much larger packs.Who would make 10 of the 5500 Crown pack purchases just for one item?

Corvusco · January 2017

If those would be the final prices, I guess they would sell a couple of them and the prices for gold seller would explode

.

I'm thinking they want to sell more than a couple so they will come up with some fair prices.

5.500 crown 35 euros right? its around 450 euros for 3 manors. Its insanely overpriced because also there will be furnishing. Nothings was more expensive than biggest crown pack in game which is 5.500. i think they can make it max 16.500 for furnished crown exclusive that will be the highes price because higher than that would be so greedy imo. People will want to buy other houses and want to buy some furnitures and 105 euros for crown exclusive with all furnitures would be maximum price.

i think crown exclusives will be 5.500 and manors will be 6-7k because of title.

Real Money always will be more important because people are actually paying to game and zos should appriciate that. In most countries 300 dollars minimum salary and making crown exclusive with furnitures 100 dollars will make it impossible for people lives in this countries. World is not all about usa/england/germany. I see people "ahh i can give 25k anything lower that would be a joke because its expensive with gold bla bla" yea maybe you can even pay 50k there are people can pay 100k crowns. But most of the players in eso wont pay more than 5k crowns.

Zos made elk mount 5k crowns and only few people bought it because they wanted to seem exclusive. I dont see many people riding that mount. for an example instead of selling x100 mounts from 5k =500k crowns, eso can make it 2.500 crowns and 1.000 people would buy it 2.500.000 crowns.

If zos make anything furnished more than 15k crowns they will be on gaming websites headline like "greedy zos"

Sigtric · January 2017

What I would do is treat it like any other product that is sold with accessories on the side that are needed.
Let the main product sell for the absolute minimum you can get away with, and put the mark up on the smaller stuff.

I'm just speculating here but this may be what we're seeing, with some fairly high prices for a single piece of furniture at 400 crowns. They'd make a killing nickle and diming people over time at 100-400 crowns a pop to furnish houses, but the crown costs of the houses they go in would have to be very reasonable.

Nahh you have to look at other mmo cash shops. Housing in swtor, wildstar, and so on. $50 for the best houses. Now furnishing them can be in the several hundreds and with the furniture pricing ESO is going the same way. Cheap house, expensive to make it yours.
