In Update 43 of Elder Scrolls Online, a new feature called Home Tours was added, which allows you to share your own home or visit other players’ homes and use your creativity to build a home of your own. Most importantly, it allows you to share your creativity and passion easily with everyone in one centralized place.
But there are tons of houses to choose from in ESO. Do you have a choice? If you don’t, that’s okay. In this guide, we’re listing down the top 3 houses you should own in Update 43 so you can explore more of Tamriel in ESO.
The Necessity Of Owning A House
Many players are not used to building or choosing a house in an MMO game, because other similar games basically don’t have such a feature. But you need to pay attention to the fact that in ESO, you can use this house as a creative outlet to use your unconventional and unrestrained creativity. Or you can use it as a storage expansion so that you can store more useful Elder Scrolls Online Items.
In addition, the most important thing is that once you have a house, you can use the fast travel mechanism in the game to travel anywhere in the game except Cyrodiil or Imperial City. This means that you can quickly move between crafting stations, merchants and daily quest hubs, which will greatly reduce the time you need to explore Tamriel.
Best Houses
According to the type of house, 3 best houses are selected for you, namely Inn Room, Apartment and Small Home. Let’s introduce them one by one.
Sugar Bowl Suite
- Location: Rimmen of Northern Elsweyr
- Price: Free or 3,000 ESO Gold
- Traditional Furnishings: 30
- Collectible Furnishings: 2
- Special Collectibles: 2
While there are two very nice inn rooms for journeys and lodgings in Necrom and Rosewine Retreat in West Weald, Sugar Bowl Suite in Rimmen is still widely considered the best inn room.
First up is Rimmen, the chapter hub for Elsweyr, and a very nicely laid out city with some useful features. Next up is this house, which is the only inn room in the game with an outward-facing front door, so you can fast travel to the Wayshrine after walking a few steps to the front door, which is very useful. Also, since Rimmen was the last chapter hub city added to ESO, it is not split into multiple parts, so you don’t have to wait for loading when you use the fast travel mechanic. This is the biggest difference from other houses in the city.
Once you enter Rimmen, you can easily access all the major city constructions in this chapter hub and complete your daily writes without the constraints of the loading screen, and even seamlessly enter the adventure stage. This is very useful for some players who have a time control when playing games. In addition, the crafting area in Rimmen is one of the best areas in the game, with very easy-to-see loops and long sight lines, and navigation is also very smooth. Stable Master, battle master, and Impresario in this area are all located outside the main gate of the city, and the overall transportation is very convenient.
If you don’t have enough ESO Gold to own this beautiful house, don’t worry, you can still get it by completing Room to Spare quest. But don’t get excited yet, you must understand that the disadvantage of the Sugar Bowl Suite is that there are not enough furnishing slots to accommodate all the convenience furnishings you want. If you don’t mind this, then you can enjoy the fun that Sugar Bowl Suite brings you.
Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret
- Location: Mournhold of Deshaan
- Price: 13,000 ESO Gold
- Traditional Furnishings: 100
- Collectible Furnishings: 2
- Special Furnishings: 2
Apartments can hold about the same number of collectibles and furnishing slots as inns, so you can expect to not have a lot of convenience furnishings in an apartment. If that’s a problem, consider the other houses. There are only three apartments in Elder Scrolls Online, but they’re all in great locations.
The most prominent of these is Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret in Mournhold, both because it’s located in one of the original capitals and because it’s closer to Mournhold crafting area. So the value of Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret has remained in the top five of all houses, but as daily quests continue to improve, ESO Gold you spend on it will come back to you in various ways.
As the capital of Ebonheart Pact, Mournhold is also one of the busiest trading centers in the game. The crafting area and Writ turning in Mournhold are not as good as those in the new cities, but they are sufficient for you to handle some daily business.
Regardless of your daily life, it is highly recommended to pick up Flaming Nix Deluxe Garret, because you only need to decorate it with a slightly generous furniture limit, which will be very interesting, and not overwhelming like some of the larger houses in ESO.
Snugpod
- Location: Elden Root of Grahtwood
- Achievement: Reliquary Retriever
- Price: 45,000 ESO Gold
- Traditional Furnishings: 200
- Collectible Furnishings: 10
- Special Collectibles: 4
Snugpod is not only the best small house but also the best overall house in the total game. In addition, it is also the closest house to Stable Master and Undaunted Enclave. Like Sugar Bowl Suite, it has an exterior door, and is very close to Elden Root Wayshrine, Outlaw Refuge, and Master Writ turning.
Because of these convenient transportation and excellent location, Snugpod has become a must-have house in the minds of many players, but because of the increasing value of Undaunted, Mages Guild, and Fighters Guild daily tasks, the value of this house will continue to rise, so get it as soon as possible.
Most importantly, small houses differ from apartments and inn rooms. There are enough furnishing slots to accommodate all housing storage boxes and service NPCs. So in theory, Snugpod is the best house you can transform into a well-equipped guild hall, and it is also the most cost-effective.
These are the three best houses you can choose in Elder Scrolls Online Update 43. You can choose to accord to your own needs, and I wish you good fun in the game!
