wrothgar home

cheeseaddict · November 2017

anyone know why there is no homes available in wrothgar?

Cadbury · November 2017

Originally, I thought ZOS took the stance of not adding homes to DLC areas because it would prevent certain houses being locked behind paid content. However that no longer seems to be the case, so yeah I'd love to have a home in Wrothgar.

At least the two Orcish houses in Bangkorai are nice

I would pay good coin for an Orsimer Longhouse. Love that style.

Wrothgar needs a house. My Orc needs a home

Want a home in Wrothgar? Well, I think you'll be getting an answer sometime tomorrow, when the showcase drops.

EDIT: Scratch that. Apparently, Pariah's Pinnacle won't be available this month. Hopefully next month?

The Pinacle notable will be right next to Malestrom it’s open for previewing now.

Krainor1974 · November 2017

Wrothgar dream home.

I am praying I can afford it.

There is one on the Gold Coast that was added long after DLC release. It was a crown store exclusive and only available for a short while. I'm almost certain they will add more as crown store exclusives to further monetize the content.

I would prefer house to be lock behind Pay content than currently behind Pay wall of 10K crowns xD

UGH I am so wanting this house its crazy. I've watched a few youtube videos showing it. If they would be SO kind and you know let us know how much to save. I haven't really spent that much gold and have been working double time to save. but since I don't even know if they will let you buy it with gold I'm more then a bit nervous about it.

At this point i went into CWC once and plan on grinding through Wrothgar. Because what if you need to have done some sort of achievement for this to get it? I have a pretty good amount of things done on my main. Most of the museum stuff done - but I overthink everything lol

Krainor1974 · November 2017

I been buying achievement , lux items preparing for my Pinacle house been working on it all through pts so I know exactly what I want to do.

Some note on this thread based on the comments:

1. Regarding houses and paywalls, so far the practice is that Zos does NOT lock anyone out of DLC zone houses, but they DO somewhat lock out chapter zones (Morrowind) by making the homes contingent on area achievements. I’d expect this to continue. If they release dlc area homes you’ll likely be able to own them, but only port in and out if you don’t have dlc access.

2. The Wrothgar home is Pariah’s Pinnacle. It will open for preview for servers that have updated to Clockwork City (11/11 for consoles). However, PP is not for sale yet and there is no pricing info. If it’s like the other home, the Observatory, it might be a crown-only offer. The Observatory is 12,000 crowns for reference.

3. If you want a Wrothgar(ish) home, there are two Ancient Orc style homes in Bangorai.

Mournoth Keep, $325k: this is one of the best values in the game, IMO. Lots of outdoor space, giant patios, nice interiors. Awesome views. It’s not snowy enough, but maybe someday Zos will offer snow covered trees and outdoor items. This home is also fifteen feet from a wayshrine, which is nice.

Foresaken stronghold, $1.3 million. It’s sort of the same but 50% larger.

That wrothgar house was in the pts... is it safe to assume it will be purchasable with in game gold? probably cost as much as the other manors which I'm fine with. PLEASE just don't make it crowns only...... no release date

Krainor1974 · November 2017

It will be the CS Orc notable like the others so might be just crowns

SunnyBunny · November 2017

For me I bought the Wrothgar DLC which is fine. I really do love the zone a lot, although I am slowly working my way through it.

The Bangorai houses I didn't like to much not sure why just didn't.

If the keep it as a notable home for like longer then a few days that would be great to be honest.

Krainor1974 · November 2017

I spent the whole pts fixing up the Pariah Pinacle to be my mains vampire sanctuary. I’ve been buying achievement items , crafting or having a friend craft the items that I would be putting in there. As soon as it’s released I would just have to set it up with the items in my personal and guild banks and than add as time goes by.

@Cadbury

If you have a DLC House or have access to one from a Friend/Guildie, you can port directly to the house from the map. But if you leave the house through the door, you are ported back to where you were before you went to the house.

That's not entirely true, since you can purchase either of the two homes still available (Ald Velothi and Amaya) for Crowns, completely bypassing the in-game achievement requirements. But, you CANNOT purchase the homes with gold unless you have access to MW and completed the requisite achievements.

So, basically, any home in a DLC area will likely be available to anyone to purchase WITH CROWNS whether they have access to/own the DLC or not. But, IF any are available for gold, you likely won't be able to purchase them with gold unless you do have access to the DLC.

I'd love to see some homes in DLC areas available for purchase with gold. But, so far, it seems ZOS' model is to have CS only ones in the DLC areas. MW was an exception, since it is a chapter, though it still had a CS only limited-time house. The ones available for gold don't even have to be giant monstrosities. I'd love to see small/medium homes (even apartments) for sale in towns/cities, esp. in DLC areas - even the Hollow City. I couldn't care less about the Coldharbour Estate (I'm almost certain it'll be CS only, unless they somehow make it related to a HC achievement), but I'd love to have one of the homes in the HC, which would be available to purchase with gold after you complete the zone.

But, it seems that a lot of people like the notables. Not that I'm against large homes - I do have Tel Galen and Lake Amaya, but they aren't huge like the manors. I have no interest in the Pinnacle, since it just looks like a big giant awkward monstrous place, but I know others (who are certainly more creative than I) are really looking forward to it. And, if lots of people want giant homes and are willing to shell out large amounts of Crowns for them, that's all we'll probably see for the most part.

I was disappointed that the Orbservatory was not available for gold, but I was somewhat pleased that it's not limited time. It gives people a chance to save up for it, if they want. But, how long it'll be in the store before they remove it to make way for new stock, is anyone's guess.
