That’s a given for me. I like greenhaven cuz I could do the fiber/iron/oil route towards cutlass. But everfall may very well be the most active market in game. Though greenhaven is a close second

[@xDread]

I went with the big house first strategy, rather than multiple small houses. The extra 4hr cd teleports seem nice, but if you empty your inventory before fast traveling, it will only run you about 50 Azoth per fast travel. Losing the extra 10 trophies is the biggest disadvantage. Since you get a 50% discount on your first house, you save 10K gold by purchasing the big house first. I put my big house in Everfall, as it had the most active trading post. I can teleport there with a full inventory after expeditions or farming runs. The big house nets you 4 storage chests, so that settlement will have up to 1,600 extra storage weight. The extra storage has been huge for me! I can do everything in 1 town, while most of my friends are running into storage problems and are having to constantly fast travel between multiple towns to manage all the weight.

[@Anaxzorax]

this is exactly what i did but still struggling with storage even with 4 chets :P

[@SteeveAR]

This is exactly what I am doing. I have the gold and have been level 60 for a few days now but I am holding off on the purchase as I would like to buy once I have accumulated 40k gold which will give me a little breathing space for taxes. Everfall is held by another faction at present, on my sever.

[@FredrikSandberg]

Should I buy a big house there even if it’s held by another faction? I’m currently lvl 38 and I want to buy a big house first for the discount:)

[@bencarey243]

If your faction owns the territory then you can access all storage chests in the game from that territory storage. So you can just take your stuff to any town and throw it in the storage and still access it from your faction owned storage chest.

[@SoyDuckHot]

I personally think it’s better to wait to buy a the most expensive house because it forces you to walk around and do some gathering which will increase skills and crafting. Also because of minimal storage it will force you to craft and sell to make room. Plus a 50% off discount is a free 10k instead of only 2.5k.

[@Larimuss]

Yeh but all my storage gets full fast 😂 I feel like sheds should be 2000 weight.

[@TotalRejection]

I am going with an expensive house in Windsward, and one cheap house each in Reavers Fen and Ebonscale Reach. With those three you have a triangle of settlements from which you can easily reach all the other areas with minimal azoth cost. I chose Windsward as my main settlement because of the location (mentioned above) and three other reasons: - has the highest traffic of all settlements on my server (=upgraded buildings and good trade opportunities) - abundance of basic ressources in close proximity (hemp, raw hide, iron, starmetal, food/vegetables etc.) - controlled by my faction and I like the music :)

[@Patton243]

The map being all green shows you that the servers are going to be a serious problem with the longevity of the game. I see most servers all being one sided by a faction or at best case 2 faction controlled. There should be dedicated PVP servers and the server pops need to be increased to allow good competition.

If you engage with the crafting above lvl 100 at all, it is mandatory that your first house be the biggest option in the most highly trafficked town (probably either EF or WW). You simply can not be a crafter and live with 1k storage, it just doesn't work.

[@maiskk6326]

Exactly ! As a serious crafter you want to wait until reputation rank 30 buy your first house (the T4, ideally when your faction controls the region), load it with 4 chests and buy 2 T1 in the end game zones you spend most time in.

[@saevvyth]

I actually think it is important advice to buy an expensive house as your first house, not a cheap one. You get more value from the 50% discount. Get at least a 15K one first (7.5K is what you'll pay) if you don't want to save up for/grind Rep for a 20K one (10K). You don't only save money, but expensive houses are better. They have shorter travel cooldowns which means it is also cheaper to reset their cooldown.

[@tokyogg1887]

Bought my first house in First Light. It’s a real ez place to gather stuff and I strategically wanted one at the bottom next to cutlass keys.

[@qontinuumgaming5209]

I think this might be the most I have ever disagreed with a guide. In my opinion, buying anything but a T4 house with your first time homebuyer discount is a waste. Sure it cuts the purchase prince in half but the property tax is the bigger issue here. Over time, you will save a ton of gold by cutting one of your T4 tax bills in half. Additionally, storage is incredibly difficult to manage. We do not have the ability to make alts and mule material. Storing stuff in every town is costly in either time, gold (for transfers between faction owned towns) or azoth (porting materials from a storage town to where you plan to craft) so getting T4 houses is basically mandatory. I can see having your second house as a T1 until you can save up for the T4 purchase at full cost but I still think you are better off doing your first time homebuyer as a T4, getting 4 iron storage chests and just saving up for 2 more T4 houses. Last point is Ebonscale Reach is a HORRIBLE design to move around in. Crafting stations are in small batches across different tiers of the town. I would rather put my house in Monarchs Bluff and just spend the 40-ish azoth to port into Ebonscale to do end game content then house recall to my house in MB. The only part I do agree with is your location choice of Brightwood except that should be your T4 purchase with the 50% discount. It is THE best launching point for all of the north zones and excellent gathering routes.

[@isaachailstone4771]

50% tax is only for the first week... then back to normal cost. Your argument is invalid

[@suisiders7181]

What do you think about his advice on buying a house in Reekwater?

[@andreastrulsson8862]

the first house discount do not cut the tax in half for all time tho. got a t4 house with 50% discount, my tax is 1k with tax at 5% in the city i have it.

[@qontinuumgaming5209]

@@isaachailstone4771 If that is true, then only 1 point is invalid. The rest is still perfectly valid. In beta, if you abandon your first house, you lose that gold and you do not get access to the 50% discount to apply to a new house. Throwing 2.5k or more gold away just to buy cheap early and upgrade later is bad financial planning. Now unless they changed that between beta and launch and invalidated that point too, I still stand by the rest of my original post. Buy T4, take advantage of as much storage as you can and don't throw your gold in the trash buying lower tiers and then upgrading later.

[@qontinuumgaming5209]

@@suisiders7181 Unsure. I did not see any T4 housing in Reekwater. Doesn't mean it isn't there. I like the jungle hut look. I have not done much content in Reekwater yet so I can't speak on that part either. I think for now I will stick to 1 T4 in Brightwood, 1 in Monarchs Bluff and hold on buying a third until we get more info on the new zones, their location and if any of those will have housing available. If they are all in the far north then 1 house south (MB), 1 in mid (BW) and one in the north somewhere would give the best strategic coverage of the map.

[@johntroxel7882]

Nice break down; really appreciate these guides. Personally after looking at things I actually decided to have my fist (major) home in Weaver's Fen and not Brightwood because Fen borders and has easy access to the most high level zones directly. I also plan on having a home in Ebonscale and my Inn in Shattered Mountains (those really are best for end game ports), but my third home will probably be in Windsward since that one is at this time is best setup for cooking and all my cooking supplies are there, and it gives quick/easy access to rest of the southern area of the island; the faction I'm in on my server only has one territory at this time so I can't take cheap cross map fast travel into account.

[@Vengfoul]

Best, most cheap house for beginners is the 5k ($2,500 with first buy discount) cottage right across from the Town Board in Windsward. It's been extremely helpful for me with trading as it's centralized between all starter zones.

Personally bought a Tier 4 in WW to start, due to 50% first-time discount, faction-owned, and company-owned. It also gives me quick azoth hops to any of the southern zones for relatively cheap. I'll likely buy T1 or 2 in Ebonscale for grinding accessing to there and jumps to Cleave, Shattered, and Brightwood. I'm torn between Weaver's, Mourningdale, and Reeker's for the third. I like Reeker's, however the town is insanely inefficient to get around in. It's also really close proximity to my WW house. Weaver's gives great access to Brightwood, Eden, and Restless...but MAN are the houses ugly, and seemingly all pricey at that.

[@SoyDuckHot]

Waiting to get a house in the beginning is smart. It forces you to walk around and gather and minimal storage will force you to craft and sell, all things you really should be doing in the beginning.

[@MadameCirce]

The only problem with waiting is that you are hobbling yourself by not having trophy buffs, extra storage, and that sweet, sweet free/discounted fast travel spot.

[@steniz5558]

I'd probably keep the inn at a major trading hub i.e. Everfall/Windsward. I would just dump all my stuff at Brightwood and fast travel to Shattered Mountain whenever I needed to. Same them can be done in for cheap travel to the inn location, fast travel to your home with all your items for sale and recall to the trading hub of your choice that way you're not paying for the weight.

Went for a big boi house in Everfall as my first: It's the primary trade hub on my server and I've made tens of thousands of gold there (currently level 52). IMO, the best housing strat is getting a huge house at the primary market since that's where you'll dump your goods, craft stuff and sell what you make (or just dump excess raw resources for a little extra gold). My plan is basically Everfall, Ebonscale and Reekwater for houses and my Inn where I'm currently questing (which probably will be Shattered eventually).

First light also have a food cart. And also you keep saying end game house and 20k But the biggest house is only 8k if bought in your own region or 10k for first purchase. Second thing is if you spend the discount on the small house you can only have 2 chest inside of it limiting your storage by 1050 weight. I agree with all your location options. But the best buy for your buck is saving up the 10k for the big house and then buy 2 small house for recalls.

[@leodacosta1]

I think getting all T1 houses is the way to go for me. I don't see myself grinding around 2k gold every week just for rent. The first purchase discount is nice, but the taxes remain 100%. Unless AGS bring a decent late-game gold income source that is not quest or player based, paying for 3 T5 house taxes will be impracticable.

Im lvl 45 and I bought 2 houses, 1 in Everfall since its the main city for trading and also had the highest crafting/refining stations early on, so I needed to be able to get there often and I needed more storage space. Then later on they increased the taxes too much in everfall so I had to change to Cutlass keys as my main crafting town since it was the only other town with tier4 workshop/woodworking, so I bought a small house there. But I will probably change these to better locations later on when Im 60 and more towns got higher crafting stations

I'm not buying any more houses until after mergers. Each server being different, it seems reckless to me to buy them based on a server situation that we know will change soon. Yes, everything can change on every server in time, but we KNOW they will change with mergers. I bought a small house in the (then) biggest trade hub on my server (WW) that was also centrally located, had a decently efficient town layout, and had good farming potential. I've not regretted that decision yet.

i needed this so much, had 17k gold and never bought a house because i didn't know where was good LOL

[@hayaMLa]

my character name is reekwater, Lord of the swamp, I thank you for praising my blessed swampy zone, fine sir.

[@Maximumdadgaming]

i must be a good shopper since my first house was that exact one in Brightwood, it just made sense at 2,500c

[@MadameCirce]

I've been going a slightly different route. My starter home is in Windsward for the ease of crafting (great layout plus fresh water) and the location being both central and neighboring Reekwater. My third will definitely be Ebonscale. But my second... That's the one I'm torn on. I'd like Mourningdale so I can be up north, but I think Restless Shores has stolen my heart. I can't help it but I'm a sucker for aesthetic as much as I am location.

[@rnzHitmaN47]

@Circe So which location you chose for your second house? cuz this is the exact thing I was thinking of.

[@MadameCirce]

@@rnzHitmaN47 Restless Shores. I couldn't hang with Mouningdale being a copy and paste of Windsward (only not as pretty IMHO). Aesthetic sways me hard.

Good day sethphir, how much gold do you think is ready to buy a house? I am holding 10k, but am worry about the rent.

[@isaack7]

Gotta go with the big windsward house for the first buy for that incredible first time buy value to get that storage in a well leveled, efficient, versatile town ;p ..... imo of course!..... O.o

[@johnengels8017]

Some of your thoughs a skewed cause you are showing it on a map that your faction owns everything on most servers this wont be the case and your reasons wont work cause the azoth travel cost will be double to triple what you are stating for totaly empty travel and most the time that type of travel will be imposable.

[@Lasto1766]

im doing lev 30 reputation for brightwood to be able to buy the 20k house because of the 50% discount on your first house. Now I feel like I shouldve just bought the 2.5k one

[@elbee2324]

I still think there is value in having a house in one of the starting zones, which is First Light, Monarch's Bluff, Windsward and Everfall. Every crafting material needs lower tier parts, and it's much easier and cheaper to get those lower tiers in the starting zones. It also gives you access to the lower level markets, as materials and items have different desirability in low and high level zones. I don't think having two houses next to each other in terms of adjacent zones is necessarily wise, just house teleport to one and get a cheap azoth portal to the next town over, for when you need to get around for stuff like wars, invasions or to access a trading post. I can understand the argument presented in this video, but there are different approaches and logic to the one presented here. 😃

[@Time-Spiral]

i agree, I think its good to have a house in one of them for the ability to farm efficiently and get all those low level items you need, Iron, hemp etc

[@DarthShadow25]

Seeing green owning basically the whole map is depressing. That server will be dead upon transfer. Although it would be great for Greens only wanting to PvE.

[@coolminer1231]

Hopefully a couple weeks after server transfers they start merging servers and in a way that causes constant competition between factions

[@kirbyduay]

There's also a food cart at First Light settlement.

[@rich2579]

Is that reekwater food cart open to any faction or does the settlement have to be faction owned by your faction?

[@flashfs]

Need to be owned by same faction.

[@WildOink]

Only 1 faction in this server, the other 2 will transfer when the time comes. Thank god im not in a streamer server.

[@etherealceleste]

Ebonscale and Reekwater do not currently offer T4/20k houses.

[@madsisak]

Marauders doing well on your server, huh? :P

[@usefullness460]

When i sell my first house and buy a other one. Does this one have the Discount?

[@ryanjones7903]

Only just started the vid but do people know you can cool down your house TP with azoth? Alot of the times it's cheaper for me to reset my house timer ( around 50 azoth max for T1 reset ) than it is to actually fast travel, meaning the tier of a house barely matters

[@j.merritt5930]

If you want to upgrade a house do the tax breakes stay when leaving the lower LvL house?

[@nokename]

What server are you on? looks nice

[@sIacker]

just got a tier 4 house in Windsward.. hopefully it was a good choice

[@adambrown5172]

Do you have any suggestions for crafting focused people? This is more for watermark and pve stuff

[@thejunkwarrior]

Your server is dominated by green I’m pretty sure most of the other faction is going to transfer out.

[@master8127]

They really need a come back mechanic for factions. On my server govenants are so outnumbered, when server transfers are possible, none will be left

[@followthewhiterabbit1089]

we got like70% green 27% Purple 3% Gold.

[@AlphaZed13]

I’m on his server, my whole purple company will be transferring as soon as that launches lol.

[@giovannikelso6173]

should i buy an expensive one if i can afford it or buy cheap? great vid btw keep it up!

[@MadameCirce]

In my humble opinion as just some other rando player... yes. If you can afford the property taxes easily of course. The extra storage chests and lower fast travel cooldown are great for your quality of life and Azoth pocketbook. But if extra storage and fast travel aren't high priorities for you and all you want are the trophy buffs, you could do a cheaper one and save your gold.

[@CryptoJoeTrading]

I’m saving up for a home with a waterfront view down south

[@Likita666]

Sorry I'm into puns. House it going new world sethphir here! :D

[@kalebd.l8637]

Can you sell your house later on and if so do you lose anything overall what happens

[@psianime]

What do you think the economic center will be towards end game? Right now everyone is just starting out so most economic activity is happening in Windsward or Everfall. Do you think major economic activity will eventually shift to Brightwood towards endgame? Planning to buy the 20k house (with 50% discount) soon.

[@speedymitch1]

In my server it's ending, people are finished and leaving. Brightwood is the main zone

[@DarknEssMGs]

Starting zones will always have some trade because they are best for t1-3 mats, and every craft requires previous tier mats. Having a house in brightwood seems like a good idea tho

[@psianime]

@@DarknEssMGs Brightwood actually has a lot of basic mats and provides T3/T4 refining resources. The only thing missing is the lack of fiber resources from Hemp plants. At 60 you'll be grinding out a lot on level 60+ mobs so you have to take into consideration the proximity of the zones you will be farming end game.

[@marostoo23]

As casual (playing 10-15 hrs/week by) and loving crafting/farming and eventually aiming for end game... What tier house and where should I buy it considering I might not have 2k on taxes weekly in long term, but still needing storage improvements? Thanks

[@DarknEssMGs]

Youd want the biggest house near where youre gonna farm mats. The logic being if you houl 1tonn of t1 mats you wont be teleporting anywhere and you need massive storage for those already refined mats + a buttload of refining materials like crossweave in the same spot, plus you need as big of a storage buffer which comes with house size. Being near a major trade hub like windsward, everfall and probably blightwood is good, because, lets face it, youll be running out of space no matter the size of your chest, its the buffer that helps a lot. Tl;dr you want a big house near places youre gonna max out encumberance often. Not paying taxes only means you cant use trophies/fast travel, still works as a bank. 2k isnt much of a problem atm, its actually quite easy, i mean on my server it takes about 2.5k iron ore to sell I got mine in cutlass mainly because its my faction territory and its a good spot to farm t3 leather which i think you cant get at all in high lvl zones. Also left of windsward is the best hemp farm. Will probably get a second shack in blightwood and a third wherever.

[@Troy-gk8pr]

Those other factions are screwed. They are better off transferring to or rerolling on a more balanced server than even bothering playing there.

[@Khurb]

Pretty sure there is a food cart in First Light as well if I remember correctly

[@xENDxCHAOS]

What game did the term watermark come from? It was throwing me off lol

[@dice1740]

Crazy how one sided a lot of these servers are, including mine on Locuta NA East. Out of the 51+ company's, Cov has 12, we (Muaraders) have 5, and Syndicate has 4. We try to flip a territory and we get outnumbered 2-1. Cov also owns 80% of the territory. Kind of depressing that this is possible ngl.

[@decisive6041]

WOW 😮.. the green color Map; I guess it’s time for yellow and purple to migrate to some other server lol 😂 as their daily travel on that server is really expensive

[@LakerTriangle]

Can you transfer between homes like you can between faction towns?

[@CoronaMuralis]

Home storage just expands your town storage so transferring isn't any different.

[@SuzanneRush]

First Light, Ebonscale, and Reekwater. Based primarily on the visuals to be honest, but it also means I am within one zone of a home in most areas for azoth-efficiency. Already got my 20k home in FL using my first home discount, but have been blowing about 1000 coin per day on Sandpaper levelling furnishing so keep putting off getting the rest (even 'for now' smalls). Hopefully the chest loot changes will let me afford more soon!

[@antharper11]

Man look at all that green. Glad I'm not on your server. I'd be ticked if I was anything other than Marauders lol. We thankfully have a decent split among all factions where I'm playing.
