Free wayshrines, which are particularly useful when you first start a new character and don't have access to every province yet. I hope to one day have a home in every area. I just bought the one in Rivenspire a few days ago.
Also, you can buy crafting stations by doing master writs, which you can then put in the home. It just makes things a little more convenient.

Probably worth adding to this that, you can in fact travel to every zone fairly quickly now, and unlock them if you want. One Tamriel added "Navagator" NPCs in each zone, which can take you to other zones with a specific pattern.

Navagators will access the previous, and next zone, in your current alliance, and access the equivalent zones in the other alliances.

Zones progress like this:

Pact: Stonefalls/Deshaan/Shadowfen/Eastmarch/The Rift
Covenant: Glenumbra/Stormhaven/Rivenspire/The Alik'r/Bangkorai
Dominion: Auridon/Grahtwood/Greenshade/Malabal Tor/Reaper's March

So, if you're in Wayrest (Stormhaven), you can book passage from the navagator to Glenumbra, Rivenspire, Grahtwood, or Deshaan. If you're at one end of the chain it does loop around, so you can get immediate travel from Glenumbra to Bangkorai via the navigator in Daggerfall.

It makes getting around the map, on low level characters, much easier.

Only to ZOS so you continue to spend cash

Just something to do when your tired of farming.......redecorate.

Target skeletons. It's such a stupidly amazing feature that has helped countless amounts of people, like me, perfect their rotations. Personally, I loved it for the fact that I could do it alone, and you don't really need a tank or a healer for it.

It's more than just being able to see your numbers increase, too. Personally, I spent many nights just hanging on the dummies, and it did more than just increase my dps: it gave me the confidence to be fine doing dps tests and stuff. I was always anxious when it came to that crap and avoided it as much as possible, and so I just stuck to healing.

. The biggest barrier that people get caught up in nowadays is that you have to apply your own ele, and/or you won't be provided with the correct buffs that a particular guild will provide for it, etc. Which I can understand, but you gotta look at the big picture and not the just the number that pops up on the screen. You'll eventually know when and what you screwed up on, and that's the idea behind it. As I like to say: It's the players, not the gear that put up the scores. It only helps you get there.

Anyways, enough of the positivity, i heard it's frowned upon here.

It's a safe haven when you have a high bounty. I have all the crafting stations in my home and a dps dummy. When I have a high bounty, I go there and do my crafting, make my potions, make food, whatever needs to be done. I, also, have my merchant and my banker there so I can unload my inventory without having to go into town and encounter the guards.

Well,

-it's fun decorating your home especially with achievements,
-you can also host guild events in there like auctions or tournaments.
-crafting stations like the guys above said
-target skeleton for dps test



-They should also introduce a "well rested" buff like when you sleep/log out in your own bed you get a small increase in exp gain or even stats for 24 hours or something.
-would be nice to be able to store items in chests too.

Is there any point in becoming Emperor, become a Master Angler, or achieve 'Stormproof'?

For crying out loud, just ignore housing if you don't like it and do your own thing - it's not like you had to pay extra for it.

Personally I love decorating and re-decorating (when I want a new look or acquire a new piece).

i love the houses...it makes questing, exploring, crafting, shopping and most especially farming - much easier...

hopefully zos will add more cool stuff for people to stay home...while they're staying home...

That thing is turning into a weird ass meme.

When you log off your Chars want a Place to sleep.

I saw so many Chars from Logged out accounts Crying and Freezing under the Bridge in Dhalmora. Shame on you to give them not at least a Room with a bed.

Hi everyone.

So I've got the free room, and a couple of items but I don't really see the point of having a home. You don't need a bed, and I don't think you can store items in chests and such can you? Can you display trophies or weapons ect? Does anyone actually go back to their home once they've finished it and got it the way they want it? What for?

Thanks everyone.
