Housing Tips and Tricks

Ahoy, pirates! As I continue working on my Aquila bath house, I have decided to post some tips that might help you achieve the look you are seeking for your homes. So, without further adieu, here are my housing tips:

Tip 1: Themes-
This one is I live by when decorating. It not only helps me decide how to decorate, but also what house will work best. Each house has a different style and feel to it, allowing for tons of possibilities for options on looks. Creating a theme for a house helps to keep the look unified and not a massive storage shed for all those potted ferns. My Haunted Grotto and Cutthroat Cove are 2 good examples. The Grotto is dark and mystic looking. My theme for it was to turn it into a eerie playground for a witchdoctor, with a mysterious Aztecasaur temple and a spell crafting area. The Grotto's look and theme are based on several worlds that play well off each other to make one well rounded house. The Cutthroat Cove's massive beaches and large cave system made it prime for a Cool Ranch themed world, complete with a mining operation and a Bison village. This house focused mainly on one world for it's style, with accents taken from the other points in the spiral. 2 different ways to decorate than can lead to great results.

Tip 2: Patience-
Decorating a house can take a while, especially when it comes to the items themselves. Sitting around the bazaar, going back and forth to worlds, planning where the items are going, setting them in the right location, and double checking the look. This all takes time. Some houses have taken me months to set up, mostly because of time and money. Which brings up tip 3...

Tip 3: Farming-
Gold is going to be your biggest factor in decorating a house. If you want to strive for that certain look you want, you need gold and lots of it. Friar Sand is the best fight for gold. He's a straight forward fight that drops lots of gold (approximately 1,000 gold a fight). That expensive little trinket you need to make your home complete will be yours in no time.

You'll want a lot of this for decorating...

These are all the pointers I have for you. I've gotta go make sure Hawkules hasn't wallpapered himself to the wall again. Until next time... Pirates... UNITE!!
