Elder Scrolls Online: The New Gold Road Furnishing Plans Will Be Found In These Two Best Locations!

Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road Chapter is coming to PC and consoles, and with it comes lucrative gold farming opportunities from farming new Furnishing Plans!

Furnishing Plans farming in ESO has the potential to provide players with rare and expensive Furnishing Plans that can then be sold for large amounts of ESO Gold, and this is especially true whenever a new region is introduced to the game. Typically, in a new ESO region, we will have the opportunity to obtain some new ESO Furnishings and Furnishing Plans. This means that players will be willing to spend a lot of gold on the latest stuff, especially this endgame ESO housing mains!

In this guide, I share some basics of ESO Furnishing Plans farming to get all players up to speed quickly and allow everyone to farm Plans more efficiently, no matter where they choose to farm. Besides this, I also share two of the best locations to farm Furnishing Plans in Gold Road Chapter! Without further ado, let’s get started!

Furnishing Plans Farming Tips

There are three varieties of Furnishing Plans that can be farmed in Overland, Green, Blue, and Purple. Green is usually the most common plan sold for the least gold, while Purple is the rarest.

Especially for any of the new Purple Furnishing Plans from the new DLC and Chapter areas, these used to sell for millions of dollars on PCNA. Because of their rarity, they are rarely released with a limited supply, and there is an enormous demand for them any time you are hunting for containers.

Whether you are hunting legally or as a criminal scum doing illegal looting, you have a chance to receive Furnishing Plans that correspond to the base outfit styles that you are unique to.

So if I were to farm plans in DLC areas Bearer’s Rest and Fargrave, by looting the containers there, I might receive a nice Fargrave Furnishing Plan because that is the area I am in. Alternatively, we can get Furnishing Plans that are available in the base game like Argonian or something.

Once you have looted all the containers in an instance, it will become a ladder and you cannot loot them again. So unless good Furnishing Plans are available, what farmers like to do is reset an instance so that the container can be re-equipped and farming can continue.

Every player has a different preferred strategy for resetting an instance. But some common ones include previewing or looking at the house in Crown Store and then walking straight out the door, back to your last location, then walking out the nearest door in the instance and back.

However, you have to be aware of the fact that resetting the container is not always necessary in instances, such as Bearer’s Rest. Also, in other cases, it will give you loading screens when you walk in or out, and the items in the container will be refilled at that time.

If you want to increase your chances of dropping Furnishing Plans, then you absolutely need to make sure you wear Homemaker Champion Point at any time you are farming plans. This will give you a 10% chance of finding a second Furnishing Plan when you loot any of them in Overland.

Finally, if you have Azandar al-Cybiades Companion from Necrom Chapter. It is not a bad idea to summon him and have him accompany you to farm plans.

If you have unlocked Azandar’s Inquisitiveness perk, you will have the opportunity to discover Research Portfolios that can contain crafting recipes, such as Furnishing Plans, Treasure Maps, and Survey Reports. This way, whenever you search for containers, you will be doing a lot while farming plans.

Farming Locations

So where should you go to farm the new Furnishing Plans that come with Gold Road Chapter? Here are some possible locations.

Rustwall Estate

Rustwall Estate is just a short walk southeast of Skingrad. In Estate you will find Legion Barracks, which has about 20 containers to search, and in Estate you will find Legionary, which has about 20 containers that can be searched without getting stolen.

What works well here is to go through the door and then walk around the perimeter of the room in a clockwise direction while looting all the searchable containers.

I prefer to do a preview and go into Crown Store after I have looted all the containers. Then leave as soon as I get there, resetting the instance and refilling all the containers. Unfortunately, the containers won’t refill if you walk straight out of this place and come back.

Outcast Inn

If you don’t get the loading screens, there are also a couple of searchable containers in Outcast Inn, located northwest of Skingrad, right next to the door that will give you loading screens, which is very convenient.

There are a few ways to get into Outcast Inn. But the room with a bunch of containers you’re looking for is on the first floor, right next to the stairs leading to Cellar of the Outcast. Here, I was able to quickly loot a bunch of Wardrobes in a small enclosed area, put them in my backpack, then dash out the door and walk back out to do it all over again.

This reset method was definitely faster for me since I didn’t have to open Crown Store or wait for my teleport animation to finish, but there are fewer containers here than in the first location.

Outro

In conclusion, both of these locations are great for starting to farm Furnishing Plans on Gold Road.

Farming Plans is undeniably pretty RNG-reliant. So, unlike farming for materials or doing daily Crafting Writs, they reward you with a more reliable and steady source of valuable goods that can be exchanged for gold. But you may not always get something valuable when you search for Furnishing Plans in containers.

So remember, the benefit of this gold farming strategy is that your mind can go off for a while you farm. So it’s something you can do while doing other things, like watching a video or waiting for your dungeon queue to pop up.

Of course, if you get really lucky and get a Purple Furnishing Plan, it can sell for a pretty penny, especially if you get it early in Gold Road.

That’s it for this guide. If you saw it before Gold Road went live, you’re totally ready to get started. Good luck, good Furnishing Plan farming, and may you be blessed by RNG gods!
