How would you feel about lowering the amount of Ancient sandstone for Fargrave furnishings?

The Fargrave furnishing plans feel like outliers in terms of how much trait materials (Ancient Sandstone) they require. To my knowledge, no other type of plans require 12 pieces of trait material for one piece of furnishing. I know that Craglorn was here from the beginning, and old players might have accumulated a lot of it. However, it comes from chests mostly, and farming Craglorn trials and endlessly running around Craglorn to make just one piece seems excessive. I love the color of the Fargrave pieces, but the cost prevents me from making more than one or two pieces for a build (and only when I'm truly desperate). Would you like the amount of Ancient sandstone to be lowered to be in line with the furnishing plans from other zones?
If you'd prefer to keep it as-is, I would like to hear your reasoning.

✭✭✭Yes, lower the amoutI would also include the older Dwarven Plans that use 16 Dwemer Frame in that too, those are a nightmare to farm!!
Possibly the Deadlands plans that use large numbers of Daedra Heart to, although those are quite easy to get.
I often wonder why ZoS seem intent on punishing anyone who like to decorate??
I mean at this point the crazy over priced Crown Houses must be a good portion of their income!!

Kappachi✭✭✭✭✭No, keep it as-isit's one of the things I farm to sell, if there's a big sink for it then demand goes up and it's worth more. I wish more things were material sinks and want them to go up elsewhere as well so things worth 10g could have a use and maybe go up to 100g+ even if relatively simple to find.0

You are right, forgot about the Dwemer Frames. Would be nice to get those adjusted too.2 -
Starbridge84✭✭✭Yes, lower the amoutIt would be nice to have it a couple lower than what it is, but I wouldn't say drastically. I think some furnishing patterns need to be reworked to reflect the cost of materials by the size of an item. A goblet and a wall segment shouldn't require the same amount of x resource.
Small table top items, 1 or 2.
Small chairs and tables, 2 to 4.
Large items, 4 to 6.
Massive items like platforms, walls and other structural things 6 to 10.
I don't think rarity of the item pattern should influence the cost, and if you want to argue that point perhaps maybe 1 or 2 but any more then that is pushing it.
I've been apart of the game for a while now and I've seen virtually zero consistency in the cost of furnishing materials.If you want to see what all the craftable lights look like in ESO, use this command on PC NA./script JumpToSpecificHouse("@Starbridge84", 71)0 -

✭Yes, lower the amout1. I agree; Dwemer frames too
2. For those who don't know, here's a way to get tons of Sandstone:
(If you're building Fargrave towns every weekend and this doesn't suffice, ignore.)
For any event that has some group-with-guildies / fight bosses to-do item, go to Craglorn and join a rift train.
This is just one example with a map; there are other efficient paths with other bosses:

Rift Bosses drop Sandstone; easy to get hundreds upon hundreds. Obviously you can do this at any time with others or solo, it's just incredibly fast and efficient during events due to the amount of people. Only downside is you do need good DPS; if you're not in top 12 you won't get drops.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, lower the amoutHousing could use a balancing pass in general. What chair in real life requires 13 heartwood? The extreme cost of housing is part of what makes it genuinely the true endgame and in my opinion, the only P2W part of the game.[PC/NA] Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS), Retired Trialist, and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore.- Current GM of Hard Dungeoneers
