    I thought I read that they wouldn’t be added in the crown store right away, but a little bit later.

    Well there's been a Soul Shriven House guest in the housing crown purchase area for years...

    Sereyne is worth it. Just her, though.

    And they have dialogue. But other than that they don't have a use.

    By the way, do they have unique idle animations or do they just stand around (or walk around, if you path them)? If would be a bit bland, as long as you can't assign them any emotes?!

    It's 5k for a banker or merchant you can pull out anywhere to sort out inventory, so I would hope somewhat less than that. I did see one offered as a quest reward as well.

    They need to redo the guard as he walks around with one arm behind his back like he's strolling through an art gallery or something. Move his hand onto the hilt of his sword at least and he may look like a guard not a tourist... just saying

    On collections, you can see that one will be available via some skyrim event. Sorry for being vague, I am not logged into the game right now.

    I'm not logged in either, but that should be Phedre the antiquarian, I guess. At least it had been datamined some time ago that she is somehow linked with the Skyrim event. So she is a reward and doesn't have to be bought with crowns?

    Alright. I am logged in now. Here's the info. Collections > Furnishings > Houseguests > Historian Phaedre > "Acquired as part of the Lost Treasures of Skyrim Event"

    REALLY curious to know when the event will be!

    Somewhere between September 16th and mid-late October would be my guess.

    Summerfall was late September, Dragonrise in early October. I guess this could be the equivalent to them.
    And late October brings the Witches Festival, so it will probably take place before that.

    Summerfall gave pet+mount+Psijic Villa.
    Dragonrise had pet+costume+furnishing (hoard of treasure).
    A houseguest would be a fitting tier 2 or 3 reward for such a thing.

    So, Phaedre will be one of the rewards (I guess the 2nd). Another one - the 3rd - will most probably be the Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery home. Anyone has an idea for reward no 1?

    Another pet? To keep some constancy? ;)

    Would have been my first guess. But on the other hand they also changed from mount to costume to house guest for the 2nd reward ;) I've just been wondering if someone might know more about it, if there had been another datamine or something?

    There is a datamined picture of Phaedra with a deer pet, what i believe may be a tattoo and costume and the Alpine house.

    Had been seriously fun if he helped in an duel, and not like ESO followers but more like an dungeon boss.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    If he helped out in a duel, the PVPers and Duelist would complain that it is "pay to win" and OP and needs to be nerfed. LOL

    I agree, unlike the banker and merchant there is little use for the housequest other than esthetics. I would price them between 1.5 to 2.5k.

    This is probably asking too much, but it would be nice to have the guard carry a torch at night like the guards in Skyrim.

    Actually that's a static "furnishing" - you can't add a path to him, or interact with him, unfortunately.
