I voted no

I would rather they just add furnishing mats to existing surveys(instead of adding a load of new survey sites just for furniture mats when people are already complaining about the bag space the current surveys take up) with the current supply of furniture mats limited to just harvesting nodes, heavy sacks and the occasional event loot boxs, I would rather they were used to actually make furniture for people who like housing to make use of.

(also if they added furniture mats to alchemy and enchanter surveys, provided they added a decent amount to the surveys, they might just be worth doing for more players)

I would only support it if it made housing materials more readily available and hopefully lower prices for those that are into the housing side of the game.

Or its just going to result in a lot of people struggling to find furniture mats they need for their furniture because players will buy them up and stop selling them, just to do the writs to make extra gold each day, making the mats even harder to find for those actually planning to make use of them.

It would also need to be limited to using furniture plans that are easily acquirable, perhaps adding a furniture plans merchant similar to cooks and brewers where you could get the basic plans you would need, without having to rely on RNG to get what you need to be able to do the daily writs.


As for furniture master writs, personally see no reason why they can't drop from existing crafts, they would need to be well planned and reward a large amount of writ vouchers to justify using expensive crafting mats to complete them.

Voted this option because dislike biased polls.

I would vote no because crafting writ surveys already take up a lot of space. Just add furniture mats to either the existing survey sites or to the shipments of planks type boxes you can sometimes get as reward for existing surveys. Or just give us a hireling for it.

Writs have already become almost worthless to do so no, we don't need more of them.

If, and only if, the drop rate for surveys means I’d be gaining more mats than using. Otherwise, no chance they’re getting their paws on my heartwood and mundane runes. Sorry, still bitter about those charity writs. RIP all my heartwood.

100% this.

Depending on the type of write we could get 200 regulus for 1 diagram survey or 100-180 mundane runes for praxis survey

There is no way they are going to do that. They won't even throw a handful of heartwood in with the lumber from a survey, let alone 100+ of anything.

I wish they'd also:

1. Add furnishings mats to hireling mails

2. Stop making everything require Mundane Runes. I mean, why does a damn carpet need runes??? Sure, praxes. Maybe other things that might need a couple here or there.

I agree. It doesn't make any sense. But this is what really irritates me. Every Elsweyr furnishing needs Shimmering Sand that you can only get by doing a daily quest in Elsweyr. Nothing drops it.

You can get Shimmering Sand from deconing gear too. That's how I've got the few pieces I have.

That's good to know.

@SilverBride - I've deconned over a hundred pieces of gear (all blue or better); and except for the few I've used, I have exactly 3 Shimmering Sand. So.... it's not like a really good percentage.

I'm assuming it's gear that drops in Elsweyr? If I'm there for the daily anyway, I may as well grind a little for gear. I'll take a low percentage over nothing.

Thanks!

Based on how we went through materials for charity writs, I'm not confident that the balance would work in players' favour. I know your suggestion is slightly different, but those acted as a furniture materials sink, both in specialised materials and style stones.

I strongly recommend against this!

This Idea is the singlemost terrible idea I have heard in a long while, and here is why:

• the overall availability of neccessary ressources is far too low for daily writs of furnishing
• the availability of furnishing plans (praxis, blueprint, etc.) is too low
• derived from the two aforementioned facts these furnishing daily writs would be effectively exclude 95% of the playerbase of its server
• the other 5% of players able to afford the prices in the guild stores, will be priveledged and pushing these prices even higher with their increased demand for ressources. Take ALT chars into account!
• with this, as a secondary effect, making the availability of furnishing items in the guild stores mush scarcer and pushing their prices higher as well, because of the competition for the ressources
• as a result furnishing your house would be nearly impossible without spending real life money in the crown store,

This is no joke!
It is economical market theory. And interestingly enough: ESO's economy ticks a lot of boxes, when it comes to the concept of a complete market.

OR, in other words: This is a Goodgie Idea.
