Want to get your spoopy on and don't want to cough up 3.5k crowns/250k gold for the witch's coven? Humblemud is a nice alternative!

Saturnana✭✭✭✭✭Friendly reminder that nobody needs to 'cough up' any amount of crowns to get the Exorcised Coven Cottage.
You can purchase it for 250,000 gold (during the festival only!) after completing the "An Unsparing Harvest" achievement, which can be found under the Holiday Event / Witches Festival achievements tab. @Saturnna | PC / EU

Donari✭✭✭✭Apparently it's a FFXIV thing? I don't know that I'd consider it American so much as something promoted by that game, which isn't Western in origin iirc. Until the ZoS Witches Festival blog I'd never heard it used for anything but FFXIV events. I don't play that game but my friends gush about it now and then.
Personally I detest the word. Maybe I'll come around in a decade or so, that's how long it took me to stop hating on "sci fi" and "d'oh!" respectively.5 -

Served its purpose, though. You clicked on the post. 1 -

Not the point of this thread, but sure, you can buy the cottage for gold.
Humblemud is still significantly cheaper, though, for those who don’t have 250k gold kicking about and/or don’t want to spend the gold on a Halloween novelty. Also, Humblemud is conveniently located next to a fantastic crafting hub that is only surpassed by Alinor!

✭I detest it too!
But apparently it's a meme that originated when someone noticed a mispelling of the word 'spooky' on a Halloween decoration in an American chain department store called Ross Dress For Less, and it goes back at least to 2009.....maybe before that.1 -

BACK ON TOPIC.
In case you didn’t know, if you turn the bog totem item from the luxury vendor upside down, you get a cool green mist! While my budget coven cottage is better seen at night, daytime shots show the mist better.Edited by Aurielle on October 21, 2018 9:41PM2 -

I thought it was a combination of "spooky" and "poopy", and referred to the quality of all that badly manufactured plastic trash that they fill stores with at this time of year.
But now I think you may be right

Some Halloween store misspelled the word spooky and it caught on with the internet...
Because grown adults talking like 4 year olds is clever and funny now.1 -

✭✭I couldn't help myself; I NEEDED the Coven Cottage the moment I stumbled-upon it several weeks ago.
This is very much a work-in-progress. I need a bigger diversity of spooky/creepy items for both inside the cottage and in the yard.
This target dummy fulfills my intent much better than I had anticipated; it startles me every single time I go there, because I forget it's there.
There's no place like home.

Exactly, this is the level of humor we're talking here. I do have a 4 year old and he loves to say "poop." I laugh too 'cause of how he says it and that he gets such delight from it.
However if a grown person were to do it, I would think that they are mentally handicapped.
If you are considering to type this word for humor, instead go to some IRL adult friends in a public place and say it, and try to make it sound funny.1 -

I hope you both have an EXTRA spoopy day!
On topic: excellent work, @bearbelly and @Caligamy_ESO
Edit: Also, I JUST noticed the creepy face poking out of the coffin, @Caligamy_ESO . Nerien’eth?

Esquirel✭✭Humblemud = commonly referred to as "poop" hut.
Halloween = "spooky".
Humblemud in Halloween Decor = "spoopy".
Awesome job btw. Loved the video tour.
