Don’t really care, it’s a move in the right direction!

And have you seen it on PTS or something? Didn’t know it was available yet

Edit: never mind I must have missed the videos, it’s a classic home for 250K gold, still I like this idea and hope we see more of the same

Better than the hole in the wall you get for gold.

At least we don’t have to look like a skeleton this year.

This is good news! I had fun during the event last year but boy was I sick of all the bones everywhere.

All of the standard houses up to the 3 faction mansions can be bought for gold.
The apartments are free.
The hut is much like the Raw''kha house in price and probably size.

The hut includes the surrounding grounds on the PTS, so I assume it will be the same on live. That's well worth the 250k price tag in my opinion.

It is the identical hut to the

Sentinel's hut in the Will of the Woods quest in Viridian Woods, Bangkorai

.

The hut is in-game already and can be previewed. It's just southwest of the Hag Fen wayshrine in Glenumbra.

I've been wanting an outdoorsy place and this fits the bill perfectly.

Jayne_Doe · October 2017

I'm not sure if I will purchase it or not, but I agree that it's great to see a holiday home and that it's available for gold as well as Crowns.

Is this the start of a trend where they'll release holiday-themed houses during the other holiday events? Would be cool to have a nice cozy wintery cottage for the New Life Festival!

Cool costumes, too bad everyone will be using them...

While its not a manor, it is a step in the right direction. Added a mask, a house and some furnishing so all in all its a win.

I thought it looked the hut in Hags Fen.

No you don't.

They said its automatic after doing the quest starter for it or if you did that last year.

Well you can buy the hut with crowns today... still not available with gold. Rather sketchy IMO.

I'd caution against buying the nfurnishings as chances are those are ones we'll be able to craft with the festival drop boxes

Need the achievements for a gold purchase, so until then... Or is there an extra achievement added this year for the house?

It's the same achievement from last year, the one you get for completing all of the sub-achievements. I think it's called Unsparing Harvest.

I agree.

It's not going to be everyone's favourite home but making it available for in-game gold or crowns was a pleasant surprise.
