Which House to I taaake? [SOLVED]

It's not Fryday! (or fried egg, although I do have a pinch of salt, and an egg...)

Should I move at all?I have a nice big bog house that came 7.5k - www.glitch.com/realty/LCR2T...

It has a herb garden, can make crystals, some animals now (which can be replaced).

Basically if I was on house arrest, the I wouldn't really die.

The thing is, there are nice homes in Alkolal, that are much bigger, have bigger cabinets, map reception, more crop plots, which is nice and all when you reach end game.

Money also isn't a problem because I can gather the currants needed over time.

Moving isn't a problem.

My main concern is that there are no Herb Gardens with in the bigger house, and I love to rely on Silvertongue, etc. The soil appear to not be universal throughout Ur.

Should I ditch my constant favor feeding, herb providing, home, for a house that have more space and won't be in all the time (except for parties)?
Should I get all the icons first?
Or are they both the same?
Should I wait for house upgrades?
Thank you!

  • i love the cottages since they let you have 5 trees. Even the 50k houses don't have that many.

    and 16 cropping plots are plenty for me. I would like to have some herb plots, but i get that it's good for the game for players to continue to collaborate to get some things - ie community gardens (cause other than that and minerals, why leave the house)

    some bog houses come with a dark patch (egg tree possibly) and a firefly swarm even. something to think about if you like the one you have.

  • I have a big house in Andra, and the only good things really are the sitting room to arrange my cubimals in and the big cupboard. I actually find the big white box look a bit soulless. BTW Andra is better than Alakol if you do move because it's next to the ancestral lands.

    If you're happy where you are, stay there! Don't succumb to peer pressure!

    BTW how's that essay coming along?

  • I don't know what to tell you.  The big houses are very elegant, but there's a certain downmarket charm to the litttle bog houses.  Teleportation is getting more expensive, and the big houses aren't as central, which could cause some annoyance.  You should go with whatever seems like the most fun.

  • I live in a big house & like having the big garden plots but the cottages have way more charm. I have 4 tree patches, which is nice, but I do wish I could have some swanky skull decor. :)

  • I actually moved from a 50k house in Alakol to a 7.5k bog house as soon as a new batch in Shimla Mirch opened up.  I wanted a herb garden and, unfortunately, the most expensive model that has one are the 7.5k houses.  The only thing I really miss are the additional tree plots but I'm loving having my private egg plant.

  • The "More crop plots" selling point is just hype. Honestly - More plots means tonnes more work to plant crops. 

    Look for a place that has 8 -12 plots. That should be more than enough. 

    The best houses are in Shimla and Groddle

  • More plots means tonnes more work to plant crops.

    Means more crops harvested. Funny how that works.
