Furnished or unfurnished homes. Is furnished worth it?

    I'm going with unfurnished. I'd like every item to have a personal experience attached to it.

    If you'd still be paying in crowns for the unfurnished version, then yes, it is absolutely worth it to get furnished.

    If your choice is instead between "paying gold for unfurnished" and "paying crowns for furnished" then it depends entirely on how heavily you weigh the real money cost against the time cost of getting in-game gold to pay for everything, and that's not something anyone else can tell you.

    Furnished absolutely. The gold you'd spend ingame to get the same items provided via the furnishing option is exorbitant. Valuewise, you're saving a ton of gold via a pre-furnished purchase. Add up what it would cost in gold to get all the stuff they give when you buy the house furnished, and be prepare to be shocked.

    The dollar per gold ratio for the furnished vs unfurnished seems to make funrnished a good deal IF crowns are not limited.

    the gold vs crown dollar for houses in general favors large of small with crowns.

    but, i would advise considering buying say two medium in game houses with gold and one medium in-game house with crowns furnished. Then take say 1/2 the furnishing in you furnished to split to the other two. At that point you have three "partially furnished homes." then look at each and buy a few things you must have from the individual crown furnishing windows.

    my suspicion is (unless you are dead set of big house) you will have three properties at good locations with more available furnishing limits and more available "special item limits" and more functional space than you would have had with the single big one - and crowns to spare.

    but really if you are set on large - i was until just before homestead - go crowns furnished - the mathn is just too good to not. The use gold to buy smaller properties when you want and scarf up some of the crown stuff to set them up.

    Thats my take anyway.

    Keep this is mind as far as quality as well. I've made purple quality furniture that when put down looks as basic as anything you'd find in a run down tavern in Eastmarch. Mats and rarity of the recipe didn't reflect the quaint look though.

    I decided to get the Earthtear Cavern because it's huge and I bought it furnished which still leaves ton of space for additional furnishings. If you look at the crown store and add up the various cavern sets, it's an additional 11,500 crowns vs 3,300. 96 items in total if you buy the sets, so I don't know how many items come with the furnished house.

    And, I've tried to price the pieces in the auction houses and forget it. One cup is 5,000 gold. If you've been playing since opening day and play ESO only since that time, then maybe you have lots of gold to buy furniture.

    With the Craglorn cave I love the furniture. I have been a fan of the Redguard furniture which seems to be the main theme with that furniture. Elloa estimated if you buy the furniture for that cave individually it would cost 60k+ in crowns so getting it for a few thousand was a great deal. The majority of the furniture in the cave is purple Redguard designs so definitely not "junk" imo.

    I bought my houses with Ingame gold and crafted most of the furniture myself . Bought a few pieces from guild members . I like doing things without spending real money if possible .

    bought sleek creek and mournoth both furnished. i didn't care much about the interior in r/k as the courtyard is the place to be, there.

    mournoth interior has some great potential with gold purchased additions and rearrangement.

    worked for me.

    ofc, ymmv.

    One more thing to consider: you can assume that buying/creating furniture for house cost (very roughly) at least same amount of gold as buying the house. Or similar amount of time spent on farming.

    It is fun by itself if you like it - or boring chores if you don't.

    I bought my home prefurnished. Later realized those furnishings are about the most basic, ugliest, pieces of furniture available. Now all those items are completely filling my inventory since you can't deconstruct them, sell them, or do anything but delete them. So the option is to delete something you paid for, since there is no storage, or buy a second home to use as a storage unit until these items somehow find a place back into your home. Looking back it would have been smarter to get an empty house.
    Use the free inn rooms as storage warehouses. :) Right now, that tiny tiny Vulkhel Guard inn room is my storage closet, but I may have to expand into using a second inn room as a storage closet eventually.

    If you're buying with crowns there's no reason not to get furnished. Most of the nicer furnished homes come with a large amount of purple and blue furnishings plus a ton of green and white, which in the end would cost hundreds of thousands of gold to buy ingame. If you're going to buy unfurnished you might as well save up and buy it with gold.
