hello, im am lvl 32 and starting to wonder if there are houses for sale in the game, if not will there ever be? I do believe this would be a super cool feature to add to the game if not already in it.
Currently there is no player housing. The Heart of Thorns expansion will bring us guild halls that are kinda like player housing but it’s for your whole guild. As for personal housing, it’s something that’s been discussed by players on the forums before. It’s possible we could get it some day but probably not for a while.
The Home Instance is pretty much like individual player housing. You can upgrade it with Gemstore stuff, and characters from your personal story hang out there.
Yeah its already your own personal housing area that you can add things to, and only you can enter unless someone is partied with you. I can see them expanding on it, but not adding a whole new system.
‘adding to it’ beyond npcs going there as you complete the story, the only things you can add are nodes, you cant decorate or anything, and unless you’re lucky enough to earn a drop or rich enough to buy it, you cant add any good nodes to your home, some are gems only too
Applied Development Lab (asura, Rata Sum) You can mine in any city, whcih also counts for relevant dailies (daily miner/gatherer/logger), all home instances are unlocked at the same time but mining in 1 instance will lock the mining points in all 5 cities for the remainder of the day until reset.
A-Net has provided some ingame nodes providing
sprockets,
quartz,
candy corn,
a skill point,
aurillium,
and a Christmas tree… available from storylines long past & rewards for story/event completion, some are available from aurel vendors.
Mining nodes though the Black Lion Chests
mithril, orichalcum,platinum, (t4,5,6)
hard wood elder wood, ancient wood,(t4,5,6)
different herbs/veggies (snow- and orrian truffles, saffron, ghost pepper,omnomberry and more)(t6) nodes sell on bltp for 100-350+ gold max/1 per unique type/ home instance
Basic harvesting nodes (Gemshop)
a copper, silver and gold mining point
a green wood, soft wood, seasoned wood node
a basic cloth rack (~3-4 jute, wool and occasionally a cotton scrap)
3 low tier herb/veggie nodes Nodes are available via gems in gem shop
You can get easy acces to your home instance using a Home portal stone (gem shop). All nodes are minable ONCE A DAY not influenced by the amount of characters you posses.

Been There, Done That & Will do it again…except maybe world completion.
Two things missing from that list which makes home instances pretty useless .. no bank or TP access except paid-for ‘services’.
I’d LOVE to get away from demented five-year-olds bouncing around, spamming AoEs and now flying inanely in the cities in order to use those facilities.

You can get a node from HoT too, I forget the name, I think its for doing all achievements in AB.
I haven’t found the home instance to be much of use quite honestly. It’s a nice little area and with some improvements (such as being able to change the theme of it and adding decorations plus NPC’s so you can add a trading post and such) it could be a useful part of the game. Some of us like creating things when we’re not chopping up mobs and doing events.
I wouldn’t expect it to be a high priority, but some consideration would be nice :P

Yes, the Aurillium one.

As it stands the home instance is not good enough.
The home instance is a mess at the moment and really has been neglected for far too long. It has no gliding crafting/merchant and a lot of the things you can get for it have really bad placement, for example two of my ore nodes are actually inside each other. Worst thing of all is that the Guild Decoration system was not added to the home instance with Heart of Thorns, it is the perfect system for home decoration.
No, the home instance as it stands is nowhere near good enough to substitute a proper housing system.

I agree with this. It would be nice to be able to decorate home instances or a home in the guild hall. As it stands if you don’t own your own guild hall you can be locked out of decorating it. Since many guilds only give permission to a couple people to decorate and since guild halls aren’t made for 1-2 people there really isn’t a way for individuals to have a place to decorate. Plus theses that repurchased HoT received a free decoration which if used in a guild hall could only be used by those with permission. So you are basically giving your actual money to the guild. I think it would be perhaps possible to have a section in the guild hall that leads to an instance of a room that individual players could decorate for themselves and perhaps have their nodes and other achievement items in.
