Rain's Decorating Guide

[Rainwhisper]

I've typed up a list of all the purchasable, craftable, festival, reputation, and taxidermy items and posted it here.

I've also added it to one of the worksheet tabs on my Character Reference Sheet which can be found at the top of the right column of this page if you would like to have this information as an Excel spreadsheet..

Pictures of the items are available here. All of the pictures are up now!

I would like to publish (on the floorplans page) a list of how many of each kind of hook are in each floorplan. If you know that information for your housing type, please post it below.

I welcome all suggestions on format, content, and typos . Please let me know if this is worth the time I'm putting into it.

I did some experimenting, and 300x300 seems to be about the ideal size, although it still makes the pages a bit clunky. I'm sorry for the darkness of some of the shots, but some items could only be found in Dwarf country .

I'm concerned that I wouldn't have the bandwidth to host MP3's of the house music. Any suggestions in that regard?

I'm also attempting to make it a more comprehensive guide to housing as a whole.

I couldn't have done it without their help. In case you haven't noticed the pattern, Evolution of Light in particular deserves a special word of thanks. They went out of their way to help me find the items I needed. - Rain

Items I still need to screenshot. If you have extras, feel free to mail them. If you have one placed on Windfola or Roheryn, please post the address and neighborhood here. I'll update this list as I get new shots.

Items Needed: None (until Book 12 comes out).

Does anyone want to host MP3's of the house music?

[Jadowyn]

Nice list, very usefull.

However it needs to include a list of those items/recipes that can only be gotten thru the various reputation vendors.

[MrBloodworth]

Don't request images at 300 x 300, Cut them down yourself.

[Rainwhisper]

I'm certainly happy to crop them as well, it's just faster if they're already 300x300.

I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the reputation vendors...adding that to the list.

[TouTheou]

First of all, thanks for list, very handy!

A suggestion if you need it, , I'm interested in the trophies that can go on walls. I'm sure I can figure it out for myself, might be a good addition to your list though?

(ADDED IN EDIT) After reading the OP closer I noticed you already had trophies in mind... :doh: Sorry, and thanks again.

... Assuming you don't want to log on to Windfola and give me the cash to buy one of everything, feel free to instead post in this thread a 300x300 close-up Jpeg of any housing items I haven't put on the site. Hopefully that will avoid people sending me 10 images of the same piece of furniture. ...

I bought a whole lot of stuff for my house on Rohyren (where, thanks to Fastus the pig, money is no object). I've got screenies of most of the non-rep. vendor and crafted items from there. Plus I've got pics of some of the rep. items due to kinfolk getting them for our house. If I can find the time, I'll see about getting at least some of them cropped, hosted and linked. Might be a couple of weeks, though. RL intrudes. /sigh

[Kaonashi76]

May I suggest including a list of the festival items? E.g. scarecrow, sundial, etc.

[Rainwhisper]

Bah! There are festival items??? Going to check that out now!

Pictures are up for about 30 or so items. Putting them up as I get them, but I'm officially broke

[Glorindon]

I've been looking high and low for a housing guide with pictures. Thanks for your hard work on this. Looking forward to your additions. I'll try to post some pics as I get them, but you already have most of the items I own.

[skunky27]

Although your guide is not yet completed, I nominate it for stickitude!

Please sticky!

Thanks Rain, this is exactly what I have been looking for. I will take some screenies of things that I have and post here for you to use.

So completely appreciated. I really like the way you have everything organized.

When this is completed it will be the ultimate housing guide. Thanks!

[Rainwhisper]

Thanks Skunky. Another 30+ images going up this evening. It would be done if I weren't broke .

-Rain

[Morzain]

Thanks for the guide man. Really helps people out when they have a guide to base their ideas on. =)

[Rainwhisper]

Another 30 images are up.

All Fall Festival and Taxidermy items added to the item list and the spreadsheet.

Now all I need is a list of all the Reputation items. I've got screenshots of about 10 of them, but I don't know the vendor. If anyone is feeling industrious, I would be thrilled to get a list - from any of the four vendors, that gives all of the data that I've got listed on the item list above. Unfortunately, as a lowly 28, I don't have access to them.

-Rain

P.S. Thanks for all the positive feedback...it keeps me motivated.

Wow, this is really quite useful until they put in a housing dressing room. Looking forward to more pics.

[Rainwhisper]

Mafia,

Are they planning to put in a Housing Dressing Room?

-Rain

[Rainwhisper]

Thanks Glorindon! That's exactly what I needed.

Mafia,

Are they planning to put in a Housing Dressing Room?

I don't know. But it has been suggested a few times and based on this game's history, Turbine does a good job of trying to implement reasonable suggestions.

[chiefspart2]

warg trophy is listed as large furniture (correct), but its picture is listed as small.

[Rainwhisper]

Fixed. Thanks much! I'll be adding the rep items this evening, assuming I get back from teaching my class in-time.

[Gennie]

This is a great guide

[Rainwhisper]

OK, I think every housing item in the game (minus some descriptions) is up there now, so I'm focusing on getting screenshots (and replacing some of the darker ones). I just lot 20 images accidentally, so I guess I'll be heading back to some of your neighborhoods .

Anyone who wants to speed up the process and has silver to burn, feel free to look me up on Windfola.

-Rain

[Rainwhisper]

Another 30 images posted or updated.

I've still got several that are too dark, but I could only find them in dark, dwarven houses or at night .
