Need a house.

[hyperion]

Hey all, I need a house so I can hoard up tons of stuff for crafting. What's the best house to try to get for a poor noob? Ha, there needs to be a term for poor boob. Proob?

Thanks, everyone. So let me get this right. I'm going to buy space at banks, somehow get storage chest to put in my house (no idea how to do that yet, looks like you cannot buy or build them), then create more characters who serve no purpose except to carry around your stuff and deposit in a bank or your crates, after you log off as you and log back in as them. Oh boy, it does sound like a hassle, but I would really like to do crafting...

Well, I can HIGHLY recommend the Subscription. :)

It is 100% not necessary, but it does save a lot of hassle. I have done it both ways, so am familiar with the ups and downs of both.

The Subscription DOES give you a lot of benefits; you won't feel like you are wasting your money. And, you get 1650 Crowns per month as well. You can use those Crowns to buy storage boxes, DLC content, Banker, whatever. Towards the goal of going No-Sub if that is desired. :)

You are right about wanting to craft, though. If you are serious about having good gear, then you need to be a Master Crafter.

Pretty much the ONLY way to get the best gear in the game is to be a top crafter and upgrade the gear you get to the desired Traits and Gold standard.

It is not hard and RNG does not need to be involved. But you must have the capability and the mats to do it. :)

The other option is to do what all of us did before the Craft Bag was a thing.

* Make a bunch of Mule characters
* Put mats in the bank
* Withdraw them onto the Mules
* Keep a stack in the bank for immediate crafting purposes
* Refresh the bank when a mat gets low

Also helps to sell any no longer needed low-level mats, if one is not planning to do a lot of alts and thus would need to craft low level gear again.

That all costs zero dollars and no need for a subscription. And no need to setup housing or boxes or banker. Did it this way for years and works just fine. :)

As you own Elswyr, you get a free house for doing the main quest. And its a huge house.

live in the mud. Stuff your belongings into the mud. Soft mud insulates goods and keeps them moist. Save house payment for several moonsugar binges

Well, I tall you all, inventory management is getting to be a chore real fast. Don't have 3300 gold for bank storage. I'm just running around doing quest to try to get that much money and my 80 slot bag is full all of the time. Going to be a challenge.

So, if you join a guild, at banks you can list items for sale to other players.

Cosmetic/furniture crafting items go for a fair bit. I've been selling Heartwood / Mundane Runes / Corn Flowers and some other highish value easy to access mats I get while gathering to pay for inventory expansions-- Stuff I get while getting "real" crafting mats.

I dont know if this is considered the right or wrong thing to do, but it's been working for me as a new ESO player.

Part of the fun. :)

Figuring out what is important to keep. What is OK to Vendor. What should be deconstructed for mats.

It all comes natural with time in the game. None of it is hidden or broken. Pretty much nothing is irreversible. When in doubt, just vendor stuff at a traveling merchant! By the time you get to Lvl 50 CP160, when it really matters, you will know what to do!

90% of the crafting materials are useless until max level, sell everything but the items that upgrade to the next tier of item. Seriously, all the wood/ore/etc, sell it. Seriously, watch the video that was posted above.

How do you use your mount for storage? I see it's supposed to be possible, just not sure how to even access it.

You go to a Stable Master (Horse icon on the map). There, you can train your Mount (all mounts on that character are 'trained', but it is training per character). There are three categories: Speed, Stamina, Carry Capacity. You can train 1 point every 20hrs. It costs 250g per training point. 60 point max in each trait.

I always train Speed first, but if you don't mind the running, then Carry Capacity is a good choice. Each point in Carry Capacity adds 1 point of storage to your character. So a fully trained mount adds 60 carry capacity to your total.

I see, thanks.

I still do not get it. So why am I collecting these Writs to do which all require materials, when I am supposed to sell all my materials because they are useless? I did a few writs and the most trouble I had with doing them is not having the materials to do them. So I either bought the materials if I could, or I ran all around the map looking for them. Wouldn't that situation be made even worse if I sell all of it?

So, trying to build crafting skills is basically a waste of time?
