Hello, it's Icy! ^_^

But I can't find what I'm looking for! So, you're bought a lovely house and you're looking for juuuust the right bit to fill it. If you're on a console, you'll have to search and search through the guild stores looking for that perfect recipe or furnishing, but if you're on PC, you're in luck! Check out the Tamriel Trade Centre website and search for exactly what you're looking for! I've used this multiple times to find exactly the pattern I'm looking for, and it's sort-able by time last seen or price, which is particularly helpful. And it's not just for furniture of course; you can search for any items that can be found in a guild store. You can help out by installing the companion mod which will upload what it sees in a guild store to the database. Today's Video

Finally It's been nearly 2 months since Homestead launched (is that right?) and I finally have Sleek Creek decorated to my (almost) satisfaction and it's turned into a comfortable home. I picked Sleek Creek specifically for the water it has running through the property; it's the only affordable house with that luxury. The other thing that makes it great for a first house are the large garden areas, and the small inside areas. It's REMARKABLY hard to accumulate furniture by either farming or buying off other players. This is meant to be end-game content, so it should take a while, it's just I want it NOW (and I don't want to pay crowns to get there). So picking a small house was the trick to getting it feel "full" and "finished". When judging the Pact Militia Housing Competition something that was clear was people just didn't have enough "stuff" to fill their houses. Picking a small house with a big garden makes t...

Pact Militia Housing Competition Of COURSE I was going to run a housing competition. With two other Pact Militia officers (thanks Asha and Irileth) we toured about 20 homes to find the best decorated residences. Categories were finalised as Best Garden, Best Outdoor Creative, Best Interior, and Best Overall. With permission, please enjoy the Best Garden below. Thanks Mithrys for letting me look around your Goronir Estate! ^_^ Today's Video

I love pots, and I'm not even kidding I have a thing for them, elegant pots, and I use them to decorate my own in-real-life home. I also have a thing for vases, usually pottery, or turned wood. I have 20 or so pieces, ranging from 50c at the second-hand stall for a nice looking dark brown glazed vase, mass-produced but elegant, to the pot on the right, which is ACTUAL art, bought in Australia's Red Centre, at a gallery in Alice Springs, many years ago. Many, MANY years ago. But it is, indeed, a prized possession, and I love it dearly, and I exhibit it proudly. Today's Video

Coldharbour - that is all As you can see from the video below, this was a VERY good run through Coldharbour, but I've had better. I've now picked up about 5 purple furnishing recipes from there and it's worth taking your time and looking in EVERY container. I've also had some luck with lower-level provisioning recipes dropping from here, including a purple recipe I didn't know. Learning as many purple and yellow provisioning recipes as possible is VERY important to improve your chance of getting a Provisioning Master Writ (and improves the chance you know how to actually make the item to complete it) Tips Coldharbor Go around Coldharbour as often as you can Open every wardrobe, trunk, dresser, cabinet (best drop chance), crate, barrel, basket, and sack (lower drop chance) If you have ESO+ save EVERYTHING. If you don't have ESO+ save all style materials, decorative wax and flour Weapons and armour found in containers (unless green) have a tiny chance...
