What size of house can you afford right now?

ZiRM · January 2017

The biggest most expensive crown store one.

Glurin · January 2017

1,000,001 - 4,000,000 (large house or manor)

I can afford one large house right now, but that's it. My current plan is to go ahead and do it, then buy one of the small ones to act as a furniture storage facility. That way I won't be taking up bank and inventory space on furniture items that I haven't decided what to do with yet.

It looks just like Fallout 4's settlement build mode which is a massive time sink. What happened? Did the sims trademark the fast and easy way? Placing every single item in first person takes an insanely long time.

1,000,001 - 4,000,000 (large house or manor)

I will be saving my coins until I see a value in what is implemented.

I have a few issues that I need to see play out before I deplete my bank account.

1. No storage
2. No armor or wepon display possibilities
3. No bank or Guild Store access (without crown purchase of banker)

And the most important one:

UNGODLY amounts of materials to craft even the most basic of decorations!

I'm not sure if this is an oversight or a calculated measure with the purpose of removing thousands of hoarded trait materials, but why on earth can you make a Heavy Armor breastplate with ONE Nickel stone, but it takes 1684633234664 of them to make a basic nightstand?

I have almost ZERO interest in housing as it currently is being rolled out. I may just go for the most simple house, put a training dummy in it, and call it an afternoon.

Who cares? They gave no reason for anyone to come by and see your house anyway...

You're not playing any character in the sims. You're playing the mysterious, incorporeal, unnamed entity that builds houses for some unknown reason and orders people around.

If I want almost no gold left

Oreyn_Bearclaw · January 2017

Over 4,000,000 (Easily afford at least 1 manor)

It will depend on crown store pricing, but the current plan is to buy one of the large homes with gold. Yes, I could afford a manor (all 3 if I liquidated some inventory), but that's a lot of gold. I mostly care about a place for some achievement trophies and a test dummy (or 3).

If the Manors are a lot cheaper than I think they will be, I would consider buying one with crowns. Just really hard to justify 3.8 million gold. That took a long time to accumulate. If our guild wanted to buy one for a guild hall, then I would certainly contribute.

75,001 - 1,000,000 (medium house)

I love these people who are all "I have millions of gold but I'm not spending it until storage" or whatever reason.

I can't help but wonder, why?
What exactly are you saving that gold for? It's not real gold.
Why is it important for you to hold onto your millions of virtual money? Most of the people with many millions have hundreds of tempers etc and all gold gear.
It's not like you need to worry about gear or anything. Why are you so miserly with money which has no value outside the game?

Real or not, that gold is still a symbol of time invested. In-game gold represents a lot of effort farming and trading (or so I assume, being relatively poor myself), and most people want to feel like all that effort earning the money was worth it.

Personally, my bafflement is more about the people who don't intend to use the system at all because it has no "function." Housing is pretty clearly intended to be a vehicle for furnishing, which is essentially a new gameplay system just like the justice system was. That is literally its function. ESO is a game, and the entire point of the game is to play around in it, which is what housing and furnishing will allow you to find new ways to do.

Ah well. Their loss for not letting themselves get immersed into the world, I guess.

I can afford large house - but will i buy it? No, i will not. Waste of money, better spend it for gold mats.

Because I would rather spend my coin on something I find VALUE in. Tempers for upgrading my alt's gear comes to mind as an example.

I have the funds because I was hoarding cash for the roll out of housing. With the current roll out I will be spending my in game coin elsewhere. I was holding it for something that didn't pan out for me in the end. No complaints or rants - just a shift in priorities.

I tend not to sweat the little stuff anymore - and EVERYTHING in a video game can be considered little stuff.

NewBlacksmurf · January 2017

75,001 - 1,000,000 (medium house)

To be fair this is my range BUT if they did the right thing and listed homes between 1,000-,2,000 crowns I'd buy on with crowns instead.

SHADOW2KK · January 2017

Over 4,000,000 (Easily afford at least 1 manor)

Moar manors with my gold, moar

Loomis · January 2017

Less than 10,000 (can't afford an apartment)

Ummm ... is there a shack with a burn barrel ? Around 2k gold?

Well... the Crown Store banker does not have Guild Store or Guild Bank access. And the Crown Store Merchant does not repair. So the services that you can offer in your home--even if you had spent the crowns on assistants--will be able to match the services available in town.

I's poor, but I just got here, so maybe I can hit the 10-50K one by the time they release, maybe the next tier, depending on the bottom end price.

Quick tip. You can very easily get at least 20k a day just fencing stolen goods. Only reason you can't get more is because there's a limit on the number of items you can fence in a day. So you should be able to get just about any of the smaller homes you want with just a few days of "redistributing slightly borrowed goods".

Recremen · January 2017

I just bought a kajillion motifs a few weeks ago and haven't had a chance to farm recently, so I'm doing terribly on gold. Oh well!

Yeah, I've got a couple of toons that are doing that already, it's how I got where I am. Advantage of altaholism, you can get a few of them running those "borrowed goods". Just gotta get some levels so I can increase the limit a bit more.

I got the coin for a medium house but nothing i have seen so far about housing really interests me. I was really hoping for storage & inventory organisation (like mannequins for putting complete gear sets on.) to be in housing. It just strikes me as silly that you can decorate your house with a dining suite.. but not be able to sit down at the table (unless you summon your phantom /sitchair).

Actually, they made the chairs functional in homestead. All of them. Even the ones already in the game.

As for storage and mannequins and such, that sort of thing will probably come later. Right now I think their focus is just getting the main structure out the door.

I can afford a large home and I had my eyes on the Riften one. But after watching a preview of it I'm starting to think it's not really good value for the price. So I'm leaning towards buying the small Rift home and save up for the Pact manor.

Good news!

... but my poor joke aside.. I still don't see the value in housing. I have ~700k gold.. that could buy 7 monster hats with good traits that are actually useful!

What, you don't think having your very own Molag Bal statue is useful?

I can afford a medium size house. I feel like I wouldn't even want a large manor as it would only be more of a time and money sink to furnish it. lol

Free inn room. Not going to pay for that useless housing nonsense.
