okok... i've been drooling at your homes for quite a while... i have a few questions and if this is the wrong place to ask... well... please someone move it to the right section.How do you get a garden with a house? and where do you get all the cool stuff u put in that house? i mean... awsome... i played SL for a while and there you are able to create everything you want from your house to your... weapons, whatever. But as i see eq2 is quite evolved in the house decorating biz.So pls where do i get stuff for my house or garden? i understand there is a carpenter skill for making some of the stuff but the rest? paintings? flowers+trees for garden? where form? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/385970365b8ed7503b4294502a458efa.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />i am amazed at what a good job the developers did with this housing thing and even most amazed about how nice some made their homes...

[Elorah]

Carpenters make most of the items used...  there may be a few that are status merchant bought.  You can look at <a href="http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g9&menustr=070000000000" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eq2traders furniture database</a> for all the crafted items.... <a href="http://www.everseek.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Everseek</a> has a decent listing too of more then just crafted furniture (it just isnt updated as much currently)You can also ask in the forum about a specific look, I am sure that many people would be willing to tell you what the item is...There are MANY ways to make gardens...take a look through eq2traders and see what I mean...Just take different items and place them together for a nice look/effect...Good luck and Happy Decorating!

Carpenters do it all! There are trees, bushes, flower bushes, hanging plants, etc; all made by Carpenters. There are some plants, like the bonsai trees, which are obtained through quests or, in the case of said bonsai tree, though expansion/adventure pack rewards you gain via the /claim. There is some stuff that's made via Erollisi Day recipes and some that can only be made during Frostfell.As for creating gardens, if you're wanting a house with built in soil areas for your garden to grow, you can only find those in Qeynos or Freeport unfortunately. Otherwise, you'll have to figure something ingenious out to get a garden like setting in one of the other houses (one means of doing this is via the Carpenter made planter).But basically, it's Carpenters, quests, Carpenters, special holiday recipes, Carpenters, collection rewards, and... Carpenters. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

to cool... too cool...okok... one more... let's say i have a few items and i put them in my house... like some LoN loot (paintings especially...) what hapends when i leave the house for another house? can i still use my stuff? or must i get new stuff? i suppose i can only use my painting once in a a house but what if i change house? is my painting lost? or since i still have it in my inventory i can set it up again in my new house? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/385970365b8ed7503b4294502a458efa.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />man i have a lot to ask! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Your furniture will all be moved automatically to a new house. Once you acquire the new house it will appear in a moving crate in the new house you acquired. So all you have to do is take the stuff out of the crate and place it where you want it to be.

<p>You can get big chunks of status from Heritage Quests and reasonable chunks from writs (both adventure and tradeskill). Start small with your starter apartment (qeynos and freeport ones have a small built-in windowbox or flower bed, IIRC). While you're leveling your carpenter and experimenting with decorating just toss in a few writs as you go to build up status (and faction for those status items you'll want later). I myself thought I'd *never* build up any status... but now I'm sitting with over 500,000, a nice lil 3-room in North Freeport and my quested warg. Not too shabby, IMO. </p>

Some of the big houses in FP and Qeynos also require a guild level of 30.Those houses are nice, But I actually like the Gororwyn and the Neriak houses better.  You can see that you can make a lovely garden anyplace....  I will see if I can post a few Screenies of my Gorowyn one...  It is by far, not the best (or even very good) but it gives you an idea to not limit yourself...Not to mention, the 5 room in Gorowyn, Neriak and Kelething are cheaper and non status....

Ooohhh... Elorah will post one of her houses.

If you want a garden there is another option with a soil for garden that doesn't require a guild or status. They are the 3 room houses in Freeport and Qeynos. The garden area is on an outdoors area as well. You can go to any house, right click on the door and choose "tour" to give a look at the empty house before buying it. It is a good idea to do that so you can see the shape the house and start thinking on how you want to decorate before spending big amounts of money on it.

[Elorah]

Be kind.....  I am not that good at decorating, but I enjoy it and like what I make of it..  lolBy the way, to have a house in gorowyn and Neriak, you must be evil...  Kelethin is only for Good.<img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/sariana57/EQ2_000067-1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/sariana57/EQ2_000068.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/sariana57/EQ2_000070.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/sariana57/EQ2_000069-2.jpg" alt="" border="0" />

Kahlef i have no problems with decorating, i used to play SL, where as i said before you did it all by yourself, from terraforming your land to building your house, furniture, plants, everything. I used to have there a huge piece of land that i decorated in a gorean/fantasy stile so my only problem will be getting a nice nuff house and getting the stuff i want <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Bruji]

Decorating is such fun, that it takes up most of my playing time.  I would also love to have a "real" garden area but believe me you can make one that looks just like if it was a garden.  Once you get the knack of placing things, which imho is a pain.  You will decorate and redecorate a zillion times.  Of all the houses, I love the one on Gorowyn.  I made a char just to get a house and I am enjoying it A LOT. And yes you will get a lot of houses.....hehe...give yourself sometime and you will drool everytime a new housing area appears.  Its a lot of fun and starting from scratch is a blast.  Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

[Vooz]

that Gorowyn pops a lot in here... evil city? what race? i really don't care if i'm a good or evil race as long as i have fun...

[Elorah]

Gorowyn was the latest city added with Kunark.  It is the home of the sarnak, but any Evil can move there if they do the Citizenship quest....The homes are HUGE compared to the ones in FP and Qeynos... Neriak was the last one before Gorowyn and it is seems larger as well. 

[Kahlef]

Kind? Why would I have to be kind, Elorah? There is no need for that as that piece you showed us is very beautiful. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />*sneakly copy the pictures for future "reference"*@VoozooWell, the thing is, from the little I can understand of Second Life, the only limitations there to build anything is your skills and imagination. Here we have to work with the items and houses the developers give us. There is no way we can create the items we want or change the shapes of the houses. Although Qeynos and Freeport houses have a limited option to change the walls, floors and ceilings.The controls to move furniture around are probably more limited too.That doesn't mean though that each house is a clone of another. You can take an object and either use it as it is or with another to give an illusion that is something else. For example, to use shelves to make stairs or paintings to make screens and so on.Every time you think you saw all that could have been done with those items, someone comes and proves that there is a lot more that is possible. Also new furniture is always coming out, either in new quests or as new recipes.As for Gorowyn, any neutral race can start there from level 1. Evil races or those who betray to the evil side must first change their citizenship there to be able to buy houses in that city.Like Elorah said they are huge. I disagree with her that the Neriak houses seems larger though. The Kelethin ones seems to be larger for me but that might be due to the color of the walls. All that blueness from the Neriak houses make it feels a lot more... hmm... evil, due to a lack of better word to describe it. Elegant evil though. Not B movie evil.

[Elorah]

Eeeep! I meant that Neriak seems larger then FP and Qeynos 5 rooms...Thank you for the compliment Kahlef.  I get nervous to show the houses that I decorate and there are sooo many amazing decorators on this forum...  lol

[Kahlef]

Ah, in that case, I agree Elorah. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Heh, I know about how it is when it comes to being nervous. Every time I post a new house it is like "Will they like it?", "What if someone likes it enough to visit it and I am there at the time? What do I do then?" and other things like that. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

<span class="postbody">Gorowyn if in Freeport? or how do i choose it?</span>

[Kahlef]

If you have Rise of Kunark you can choose to start in Gorowyn if you are a neutral race or Sanark (the latter don't even have any other option). Citizens of Freeport have to do a quest to become citizens of Gorowyn. <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Citizenship#Becoming_a_Citizen_of_Gorowyn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here</a> is the info for that quest.

[Malki]

Humans only have those 2 starter areas, but, if you are evil, you just swap citizenship to Gorowyn, its easy to get to, so you can pop over there and take a peek at the houses.Also, if you didnt know, you can right click on a house door, and choose visit, and select a house to go in and look round at <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />As for outdoor spaces, the 3 room Freeport and South Qeynos ones have back gardens, very plain, but a blank canvas <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />They cost 96g with no status, and 3g86s a week for rent <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />EDIT: Arggh, beaten by Elorahs speedy typing *waves fist*

there are special weekends when they "boost" the drop rate, i got mine from eq1 and then trading them for other stuff and other stuff for more boosters and so on. Takes time and a lot of neurons wasted to get to the point where you can have a seriuos amount of boosters to trade with but once you get there i think it's worth it. You can get very good deals in LoN if you keep track of the posted trades and check them regulary. A lot of ppl get loot form boosters but they don't want the loot, they just play LoN... so they trade a lot of good stuff for a few boosters hoping to get more nice play cards. eh... sony made a very good business from our addictions... what can i say? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />

lol.  I meant that I try to farm for them on the bonus weekends..   Never gotten one...  *sniffles*

[Vooz]

buy a booster from sony so you are allowed to trade in LoN and i'll help u get some stuff there.But you must first buy a booster... that kinda sux but it's the only way you can trade in LoN... sony at it's best... milking the life out of us <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />P.S i wish i could convince that blasted carn. plant to stay where i put it! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/1069449046bcd664c21db15b1dfedaee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

<p>Welcome to our newest decor-junkie.</p><p>Couple of things that might help...</p><p>1) Look at the stickied thread at the top of the forum. Better Homes & Hovels, Fireplace, and Fishtank are fantastic to see how other folks have combined different items. Sometimes you can borrow (STEAL, STEAL) an idea from other person, but often it will kick start a different idea. After seeing all the lovely fishtanks, I promptly stuck my fish in a Halasian cook pot, with a smoking bottle tucked 'inside' for the steaming stew effect.</p><p>2) The fishtank thread will also have some good pictures of different plants you can get in the game. For the dirt to plant your flora in, Orge furniture is a nice grey stone, and Fir tables/chairs are a dark brown sandstone. These are both pretty easy to craft, meaning you should have the receipes in the first few teir of carpentry.</p><p>3) Finally, if you have open character slots, you might be willing to sacrifice a few Wood or High Elves. The racial quest for these races gives plant rewards. Unfortunately on be character of that race, so folks who need extra plants have been know to create toon, get quest item, place in house of toon to become the new owner, kill off now useless deflorinated elfie...wash, rinse, repeat.</p>
