Elder Scrolls Online has a new post on their blog detailing the upcoming homes coming to ESO. Looks like I won’t be homeless with the ability to purchase them directly from the Crown store.

You must first complete “A Friend in Need” quest to get your first home (free little room) and to have the ability to purchase new homes via gold .
To get your first home
For the tutorial quest, seek out Canthion the Wood Elf Housing Broker. Look for the “Housing Brochure" in the bank for every major non-DLC zone city. You can also find him at the following locations:
- Aldmeri Dominion: Auridon, Vulkhel Guard, in the Vulkhel Guard Manor & Treasury
- Daggerfall Covenant: Glenumbra, Daggerfall, in the Bank of Daggerfall
- Ebonheart Pact: Stonefalls, Davon’s Watch, in the Uveran Bank
(Note: You must go to the location that corresponds with your character’s home alliance.)
Once you’ve started “A Friend in Need", follow the quest through to completion to earn the deed to your first humble abode: an inn room apartment. Obtaining the inn room unlocks it as a new account-wide collectible, which appears in the new “Housing" category in your Collections. Here are the three available inn room names and locations:
- Daggerfall Inn – The Rosy Lion (Daggerfall Covenanent, Glenumbra, Daggerfall)
- Ebonheart Inn – The Ebony Flask Inn Room (Ebonheart Pact, Stonefalls, Ebonheart)
- Mara’s Kiss Public House – Vulkhel Guard Inn (Aldmeri Dominion, Auridon, Vulkhel Guard)
If you wish to get the free inn room for each alliance, simply complete the “A Friend in Need" quest on one character for each alliance.
After acquiring your first home, it’s yours to keep for no additional cost. There is no mortgage or upkeep fee associated with any of the available homes in ESO, and they are available to all characters on your account.
