Houses return on Investment

[trallero]

Hello, I am a bit new to the game anmd to level 60 and I am trying to make extra coin. I mostly farm motes or hyssop for coin, but I don’t own a single house. I was wondering if owning a house would pay itself out by increasing my gathering yield and luck.

I saw that three tier 1 houses would cost around 25k (with the first discount), but then the harvesting trophies cost around 4.5k each. All of that comes out to almost 40k in all. I saw that there is also a lifestyle buff that I quite don’t understand, but would add an additional 20% to harvesting yield, but it costs 2500 coin. Do I have to pay for this?

All the other house perks are nice, but I don’t care much for them, all I am looking for is to know if that 40k+coin investment will eventually pay tenfold or if I will just end up breaking even or worse.

Tier 1 houses are 5k each. First one at 50% off so 2.5+5+5 is 12.5k for 3 houses.

You dont pay for town buffs, those are for the controlling company but you do benefit from them. Although yield bonus is not often a used buff.

If you are only farming motes and hyssop not sure it would pay off. If you were farming wirefibre, ori ore, ironwood it would over time since the major gathering trophies really help for the t4 mats (tolvium, blisterweave, etc).

For mote/hyssop farming there’s no need for trophies at all. Just make sure you have the yield increase perk on your tools and you’ll be set.
