ESO U49 PTS: Night's Den House!

Patch Notes: The Night’s Den: A New House! Earned by completing the introductory quest in Night Market. It even has an entrance directly from the Night Market!

Screenshots + house feedback below.

Night's Den – Entrance & Courtyard:

Night's Den – Vault:

1. The vault visual is based on your character's gold. As reviewed here, we'd prefer a more constant visual via banked gold, designated character, or deposit to the pile itself.

2. There seems to be a "sweet spot" at 6 million gold where the door sparkles. (5 mil = a little sparkle at the bottom, 6 = full sparkle.) Beyond 6 mil, it no longer sparkles (bug?). The pile stops growing at 7 mil. Everything beyond 7 mil has the same visual.

+ See ALT text below:

↑ 7 million gold, UI hidden, max pile visual. Baron Jangleplume placed to show that you can place things inside (although you cannot go inside yourself; only look at it)… and because he is happy there :3

I think this is a missed opportunity to give us a swimmable giant pile of gold a-la-Scrooge-McDuck 😹

Night's Den – Bank:

This is locked to start; unlocked via progress in the Night Market. As stated here, most of us will need to find a group for this difficult area. It's essentially a Trial.

After unlock, this will give you access to your bank and Guild banks.

Night's Den – Faction Wings:

Wings are unlocked via achievements in Night Market factions.

I hope a way to preview the wings will be added to future PTS – I'm sure many of us will base our faction choice on which wing we'd like to build in.

Night's Den – Height Limits:

Unfortunately the ceiling is low, so you cannot build outside with the cool skybox.

Good thing the base house is unlocked via the intro quest because the Night Market is a Trial-difficulty area. Most will need to group.

The house comes nicely-decorated as-is. Lots of the new, colorful lanterns I assume will be unbound. Nice!

Vault should be based on bank, designated character, or deposit directly to the house pile.

Bug – the vault door stops sparkling at 7 million+

Could the Vault be enterable so we can swim in the gold pile like Scrooge McDuck? 🥺🙏💰

Please give us a way to preview all 3 wings: I want to pick the faction whose wing I want to build in. EDIT: This should come in PTS 3, week of January 27. More info: one, two

We really need portals & custom spawn for housing. Else, this will have the same problem as Hall of the Lunar Champion: 1. too many load screens; 2. too many areas to build in, not enough slots.

Too bad the ceiling is so low. Would be nice to build outside with the interesting skybox, but it's impossible. (But I get it, there's probably no landscaping done out there.)

ESO U49 PTS: Night’s Den House – Wings

Week 3 of the PTS is up, and it's EU copy. This time tester characters are given the relics, which will allow unlocking the house wings.

Good news first! –

A couple of the unlock furnishings are pretty cool.

There are ZERO load screens to the wings! So it's not like Hall of the Lunar Champion (HotLC) ^_^

As for the wings themselves... see below.

Unlocking the house is explained in part 1:

It's easy, you just do an intro quest.

Unlocking the wings:

Relics, you'll actually have to work for by defeating bosses in the Night Market (on Live server). Here's how it looks once they're earned:

The purple items bottom-right in the first shot (using the Glimmering Lamp memento) are the Relics, loading after withdrawing them from a tester box. After all Relics were consumed, all three mementos were unlocked.

Then, at any of the Night Market merchants, you can "buy" all three Collectible furnishings:

As you can see, they were free on PTS. I don't know if that will be the case on Live also.

I really like the Gleaming Lamp replica! The eyeball moves :)

The Windglass Replica rotates

The spider on the Egg of Arac is animated, moving its legs slightly

Next, place each item on its pedestal in the house (just like at HotLC):

The Wings:

(Info in ALT text)

The wings are small, empty rooms

Lightly themed after the Factions

Immovable pillars in the center

No load screens! Nice!

So for those who only want to do housing and really don't want to group for Night Market combat / trial, I think this is OK: these aren't entire full zones like at HotLC, and perhaps not interesting enough to bother with.

(I'll be honest: personally, I'm not motivated to unlock these rooms. Maybe only the last gold room, with the cool lamp Collectible. And to be clear: for me, that's not a negative! I'm very OK with having less to grind. I would also do some Night Market to unlock the bank, as well as the merchant furnishings, and Antiquities.)

However, you might still want the furnishings – Collectible slots are so important for us in Housing!

More furnishings:

After you unlock the Relics and obtain the Collectible furnishings, you'll also receive a Mail from each Faction containing some furnishings:

Let's see what they gave us. These are all Bind on Pickup:

Thousand Eyes:

Nothing to write home about here. These are all cheap, craftable and event items you can easily get otherwise. (And because these are all Bound, I'd rather not have them clogging up inventory.)

Glittering Goad:

Ok, that's a little more interesting! The Maormer rugs and Redguard pottery are Crown-only items normally. (Again, all items bound.)

The Ruckus:

Again, all craftable. Nothing that's really expensive nor difficult to get otherwise.

So, in terms of room uniqueness and furniture quality, Glittering Goad seems to be the only faction worth doing. The Ruckus is the least interesting overall; the faction may appeal most to combat-centric players.
