The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind Guide Combat, Crafting, and Activities Homestead

Furnishing Your Home

There are well over 3,000 furnishings, and more added all the time. Make your house into a home and really show off your style!

Now that you’ve acquired one or more homes, think about adding your own furnished touches, provided you didn’t buy the abode fully furnished—though you can still add touches to it. See the Appendices at the end of this book for a full list.

Different Furnishing Types and Crafting

Any item you can place inside any of your homes is known as a furnishing and uses this identification in your inventory. Though many items are simply gathered to make your home look more pleasant, especially if you acquire scenery of the same or similar styles, there are some furnishings with special functionalities, such as:

Living assistants, available whether you own a home or not, you can situate at a house to serve you or your guests.
Seating objects you can sit on.
Lights you can turn off and on.
Books you can read, including almost 300 Mages Guild reprints of the collection from Shalidor’s Library. Note that these do not increase your Mages Guild skill line.
Target Dummies you can practice combat skills on. There are multiple types, including , a regular and a robust version. They’re usually crafted after the plans are awarded to you by the Mastercraft Mediator Rolis Hlaalu, who does not appear unless you have a completed Master Writ to turn in or have done one before. Skeletons are also available from the Housing Editor’s Purchase tab.
Crafting stations to practice one of the six trade skills on. These can be purchased from Rolis Hlaalu, the Mastercarft Mediator, for Writ Vouchers or from the Housing Editor for Crowns
Why not invite your friends to your home for a crafting session? It’s far easier, more sociable, and quicker for creating furnishings, especially if you’re interested in crafting item sets!
Mundus Stones can be placed in your home with Morrowind, purchased directly from the Housing Editor’s Purchase tab.

Are you close to the item limit for your home? Check the House Information panel in your Housing Editor for the maximum value for furnishings, as specified earlier in this section. ESO Plus doubles the amount of items that you can place in your home.

There are a number of methods of obtaining furnishings:

Home Goods Furnisher: Journey to a main city or capital to find these vendors, who offer stone and plants found in the given region, and a basic array of furniture and other items.

Achievement Furnisher: Throughout Tamriel, these merchants allow you to purchase special furnishings after completing specific quests and achievements. There’s some fine statuary available, assuming you’ve adventured hard enough to unlock the sale of these!

Holiday Furnisher: Sells achievement furnishings associated with the regular Holiday events in Tamriel.

Luxury Furnisher: For the good stuff, visit Zanil Theran, found in Cicero’s Food and General Goods Store in the Hollow City inside Coldharbour, for some premium and special items only available for a short time. Zanil is only present on the weekends.

Other: The Shadowy Supplier is a Dark Brotherhood skill that unlocks Remains-Silent in Outlaws Refuges and the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. This NPC provides the player with beneficial items once per day with a rare chance of being awarded a furnishing. A set of books can be purchased from the Magisters in the Mages Guilds once a collection has been discovered.

Crown Store (and Housing Editor): You can purchase furnishing items at the Crown Store, or for crowns once you’re inside your home and using the Housing Editor to place scenery, but want to purchase an item you don’t have yet. These items can’t be traded for gold or sold to others.

Fishing: Try a Fishing Hole to randomly obtain some fish-themed objects for your home. The type differs depending on the type of Fishing Hole: fresh, salt, river, or foul.

Furnishing Crafting: You’re able to craft a great many items for your home, with the added benefits of selling them to fellow players. Each type of trade skill has its own plans (a little like a Provisioning recipe), found in scenery throughout the lands, purchased, looted from foes, or stolen. Craft any plans you obtain at the appropriate crafting station, which doesn’t need to be in your home, though it can be. To obtain higher-quality plans, raise your trade skill, and be warned that crafting quality items may require tannins, tempers, or resins. The following types of plans are available, which use some new materials, as well as others you’ll be familiar with if you’ve crafted before:

Alchemy Formulas, using Alchemical Resin.
Blacksmithing Diagrams, using Regulus.
Clothier Patterns, using Bast and Clean Pelts.
Enchanting Praxes, using Mundane Runes.
Provisioning Designs, using Decorative Waxes.
Woodworking Blueprints, using Heartwood.

Craft these to add Inspiration to your chosen trade skill, and even if you don’t have a home, you can still sell the finished items to other players. Thousands of plans are available, so get crafting mirrors, banners, lamps, bookcases, nightstands, barrels, pots, basins, braziers, hammocks, beds, pillows, vases, bottles, frying pans, trestle tables, shrines, tiles, totems, candles, and much, much more!

Master Crafting Writs: To buy crafting stations (both regular and set-related), plans for master-crafted furniture and furnishings, ebony-related items, Target Skeleton plans, and rare furnishing parcels, pay a visit to Rolis Hlaalu, the Mastercraft Mediator. Rolis, who can be found in Wayrest, Mournhold, or Elden Root, takes Master Writs if you’ve completed them. Look at the Crafting section for more information on Master Writs.

Other Activities: You can also find Undaunted busts when looting the final boss of any arena, Trial, or veteran dungeon. Tried murdering or pickpocketing someone for a recipe or other small furnishing item?
