Yeah, sucks when an investment decision turns out to be terrible. I get it.
Literally the best armor, weapons and jewelry in-game are crafted, so that’s not particularly true.
Can you get decent drops too? Yes, but you’re not going to win a war with decent gear vs the best gear.

Like literally anything in this game is not worth it. Change my mind

Crafting furniture is useless, because most normal players, you know the ones who only play a couple hours a night or so, don’t want a house because of the stupid tax system. Cost of home ownership in this game is horrible and is designed in a way that prevents a need or desire to keep. Make taxes monthly, reduce the taxes on homes considerably since they are weekly, or remove the taxes completely and furniture will be way more valuable.
I’m nearly 170 furnishing and yes, it seems fairly pointless from a money making perspective, but i think it was clear that the cosmetics would have lesser demand early on.
But the tier 2 trophy items are ridiculous. There’s only 1 item on my trade post (stacked deck) and it is listed for 10,000. I don’t think there would be any buyer for a t2 trophy that expensive, so even the trophies are pointless.
I disagree. I have made 95%+ of my coin by crafting and selling my crafted items.
Im also furnishing lvl 125 right now, it is and was a hard grind to lvl up this profession and it costs hell of money… and you dont get anything back from it. Chests and trophys are super cheap on my server, people are not willing to pay the price which furniture is worth. The materials are super expensive but no one wants to spend the money on interior right now. But i think when the time goes by people will do it. When they dont know what to do with their money they might get into cosmetics and if not… who cares… i have lots of fun. But i am missing all the epic and legendary items to craft some more… cant find them and if, they are above 5000 Gold. Same with the schematics…
Housing in an MMO can be a great thing if implemented correctly, more storage=good. Most games that offer housing actually do a pretty brisk business selling custom furniture designs an such in the shop. It usually has HUGE appeal to the RP type players and certain demographics of gamers. As implemented in NW, housing is just a massive gold sink with no benefit other than extra storage. Housing needs to be cheaper, better furnishings should result in cheaper upkeep, better territory standing and they could even implement an Animal Crossing type ratings system with leaderboards for people to compete for. They also need to implement company headquarters that can be purchased and outfitted with various bonus items and things like DPS test dummies and company only storage.

Well, not only that, but in a game like ESO, everyone’s on the same megaserver, so you can easily appeal to the RP / cosmetic crowd since everyone’s in the same place.
Here? If you’re on a server where 90% only care about war, it’s going to be a rough road for any furniture crafters, because most of them wouldn’t care about housing even AFTER they’ve geared up their characters.

It will be worth it for a small window when the majority of the player bases starts buying houses.
I know of MANY people who arent buying houses until server transfers are done with. The crew I play with alone is 20 ish people and none will buy one until we are sure we are staying on our server or whatever is going on.
We just dont wanna chance it “in case” we arent able to take houses with us, even we apparently can, im not holding my breath. I wanna decorate REAL bad
… if everyone had the same attitude you do?
There would be nobody BUYING those materials.
Think about that for a moment.

Yeah, I get that; I do trust that houses will transfer over though, because given how expensive they are - especially if full of rarer furnishings - if they didn’t I can see people going BANANAS about it.
Maybe because you were one of the first to craft the items, before the rest of us caught up with you.
Maybe at end game is possible to make money, but during levelling almost items are at rock bottom prices, due to the excess in offer vs demand.
If your whole goal is to make a bunch of monopoly money by selling stuff, no it’s not worth it. If you enjoy crafting and do it as a form of entertainment then it’s most certainly worth it.
As hard as it may be for some to grasp, a lot of people really aren’t concerned in the least about the virtual monopoly money profit/loss balance sheets in MMO games.
We craft because it’s fun, and to have stuff to give to our friends when they need it or just to surprise them. It’s worth it.

Furnishing is going to be a lower tier choice for a lot of people. Even as mor epeople level up, my bet is there wont be as manyfurnishers.
In 2-4 weeks the balance on most servers will shift from 5-10% at 60 (yeah, there arent that many 60s) to 40-50%. Its a new game, people are scared to spend their money. Housing will be lucrative as a majority of players start buying houses (which they WILL do). Chests and trophies will be sought after by literally everyone. The other stuff, yeah maybe it wont sell directly, so sell the mats to get the other players up to 100 or 150 crafting.
I realize the FOMO is strong in this thread, but the grass isnt always greener. Not every singel armorsmith/weaponsmith is just rolling in money dude.
So I built a gun deck at the back of my house using furniture from my leveling. Furniture crafting is totally worth it.

The Devs really should figure out a way to make the furniture skill useful. The only money makers that it has is storage and trophies. Furniture is practically useless unless you are making a gundeck in your back yard.
Problems with the two money makers. 1. Storage boxes are not soul bound so at first (if you are early enough when the server is created) then you can make a lot of money but after a while people start selling their boxes back and below cost. Not worth it to make them. 2. Trophies are way to hard to get mats for and the mats generally cost as much or more than the trophy sells for (exception being Luck, Mining, Armor on my server). I make as much selling the epic or legendary. Don’t even bother making the trophy.
A Solution : Make the decoration points worth more than “bragging rights”. Each 100 points lowers your tax rate by a % or more. Or have it increase settlement status %. Something.
A even better Solution: Along with the above solution make it so that buying higher tier stoves, cauldrons, training dummies, etc increases your skills in that area cooking, alchemy, weapons. I know that trophies do this but man those suck to get.
In a nutshell they need to figure a way to make furnishing your home worth it.

they need to make it more fun. Housing, IMHO, is always been a fun thing to do in downtime in MMOS. i feel as it’s tied into the big crafting grind, think many can’t be asked with it. do I waste resources on housing or something actually worth it?
I like the recipe drops, but increase it, also there needs to be housing item drops. Maybe, certain enemies, you can grind to get a piece you want.
Right now housing is only useful for an extra teleport location and maybe trophys
