As mentioned above - why are there boulders in the middle of Moon Sugar meadow? They split the area oddly, and limit the scale of decor to the smaller plots.

Wraithome is nice: I've always liked the deisgn of Vaults of Maddness. Thank you for the 2 portals to the upper galleries.

Furnishings: FINALLY! Moon sugar cane and Tenmar Dija! Two things I've wanted since Elsweyr released! However, my favorite round cacti with the orange tops are still not available for purchase.

OMG THANK YOU FOR PROVISIONING STATION THAT IS NOT A CAMPFIRE!!!!

Also not a fan of the "mixed" Clockwork documents, I would rather pay 50 vouchers to gamble on purples.
Thank you for *coughfinallycough* releasing CWC and Summerset documents.

I think gambling 30 for purple blueprints isn't such a bad idea, considering the fact that DLC's contain far less furniture plans than expansion packs.

True, but now we're back to double gambling - RNG *if* you get a purple, then RNG again for it to be a purple you need.

As far as Wraithhome, I'm sold.
Shut-up and take my Crowns/Money.

Some feedback:

1. Need More Macabre-style Furnishings please
   The available list of said furnishing styles is sorely lacking, and currently limited to a small selection choice from achievement vendors and Luxury furnishings.
   
   Example suggestions:
   Blood Pools, Remains/Bones, and Bone-Piles similar to what can be found just about everywhere in the open world and various parts of coldharbour would be nice.
   Also, building materials that use the same "material" the home is made of; dark, blue'ish rock, etc... would also be nice. Stairways, Walls, and Platforms using the same materials would be most excellent.
   
   
2. Lose the invisible walls except to the very boundary edge of the environment
   No one likes invisible ceilings or walls that make no sense.

As for Moon-Sugar Meadow:

Some feedback:

1. Feels like its own abandoned-zone and less like a Property
   Coldharbour Surreal Estate has a clear "boundary" as far as the size of the plot, and an enormous height with which to build. Moon-Sugar has a very limited height and several desirable sections are inaccessible due to invisible walls, namely:
   
   The Waterfalls
   Gorgeous Area, but cannot build anywhere near the upper-level pool or close to it
   The Giant Stone Arch
   Looks fantastic, but cannot build near, into, or upon it.
   
   
2. Lose the invisible walls except to the very boundary edge of the environment
   No one likes invisible ceilings or walls that make no sense.

Also, regarding the mastercrafter recipes, I find myself questioning some of the choices of what items to turn into these crafting recipes. Generally, I feel that the gold mastercrafter recipes should be items that would see common use, be universally popular, and not extremely niche or specialized, since those types of items fit better on the luxury vendor. If you have a recipe for an item, you want to craft it, for your own use or to sell to others. The more niche items you can buy from the vendor if you need a few of them, or you can disregard them if they're not to your taste.
But, this batch of mastercrafter recipes is once again a mix of something universally useful, and something very niche.

Elseweyr Cart, Masterwork is very niche. How often do you need a cart in your home, how many homes even have large outdoor space that would fit this cart, and it's in khajiiti style, so doesn't fit most other homes. Very niche, would have been better as an achievement item or luxury vendor.

Elseweyr Grill, it's universally useful, but the distinct Elsweyr style of the item may make it less useful outside Elseweyr or Khajiiti homes.

Elseweyr Gate, Masterwork, definitely a niche item, very few houses need an extra gate, very few of them even have an area suitable for it. The only house I can even imagine this being useful is the new empty plot land house. A whole recipe for a single house only? Not a good solution. This is an item you'd need perhaps 1-2 of in your entire lifetime. Would definitely have been better at the luxury vendor instead of as a recipe.

Elseweyr Incence, Fragrant, an ok recipe I guess, though I wonder why it had to be a gold recipe, when the other Elseweyr incences are blue and purple recipes, and they are much grander and larger than this very small one.

Chaise Lounge, an alright recipe for mastercrafter, can be used universally.

Statue, Shrine Lion. I really wonder about this one. We already have no less than two of the exact similar statue type sold as achievement items in overland zones, the only thing you did was remove some of the paint from it, and put it up on a stone pillar. Was it really necessary to waste a mastercrafter recipe for this? Was there really no other item that suited better as a recipe?

Elseweyr Cage Filigree, also an ok recipe, though I doubt it will see much use, due to costing a very expensive chromium grain, and with very few pets fitting into the size of it.

If we take a look at some older recipes, it's the same pattern.

Frog Caller Untuned, sure it's a fun item, but very niche, and doesn't really fit many homes. Should have been achievement item, or luxury vendor.

Alinor Grape Stomping Tub, also niche item, haven't seen this one being used in any single home. Would have been better suited as luxury vendor or achievement item.

Pottery Wheel, another item I have never seen used in any house. Sort of a weird item to put on the mastercrafter recipe vendor.

Dark Elf Tent Canopy, extremely large, and Dunmer style. Will most likely never be used.

Now, what are some recipes that actually work well as mastercrafting recipe items?
Miniature Garden Bottled, Hlaalu Stove Chiminea, Relic Vault, the three Alchemical and Mage's Apparatuses, Dres Sewing Kit, Hlaalu Bathtub, Hlaalu Salt Lamp, Alinor Ancestor Clock, Figurine Dragon's Glare and Silver Kettle Masterwork are all good examples of items that are high in demand, universally popular, racially neutral and would fit into most homes, which makes them great candidates for recipes like this.

Unfortunately, since every new batch of mastercrafter recipes seem to tie in with the latest DLC, I see that the trend is to make these recipes more and more niche, where the items they give would be better fitted on a zone achievement vendor, or at least the luxury vendor. I hope you will consider this point of view in the future for new mastercrafter recipes.
