    How would you make the Goblet more appealing?

    I decided to finally upgrade to a medium house, and only the goblet housing was left. I found a plot that I fell in love with. It's view is off the side of a cliff is amazing. I enjoy the feeling of being all alone in my big house on top of a mountain! :3

    However, the goblet fences are unappealing in my opinion. They're the least interesting/detailed fences out of all the housing and don't seem to match the houses themselves. They seem out of place, almost like they were done quickly.

    And for some reason, the goblet feels more condensed than the other housing? That might be on purpose, not sure. None of the houses truly feel like they're standalone like in the lavender beds.

    I'm interested to hear what people would change in the goblet to make it more appealing? If anyone has any opinions they're willing to share.

    I find Goblet unpleasant because it's too sandy. In my opinion it should be more "lush oasis"-like, even closer to jungles, maybe.
    So, more foliage.

    Lavender Beds suffer from overly wide roads with shitty texture and ugly neon flowers.

    The Mists area is too gray and kinda lifeless.

    I think the condensed feel IS indeed on purpose.
    Because as somebody who has a personal cottage in Goblet, and FC mansion in Lavender. I can definitely tell that all the amenities (MB,Bell) are further away in Lavender Beds and it is not for the difference in plot.

    I personally like Goblet because of that, but I guess most people that engage in housing don't use the house for what I use it for (my house is unfurnished, I only go there to craft because there's merchants + having less lag reduces my chances of crafting macro gone awry)

    I live in the goblet and while I love it, it needs more green. As an oasis in the desert, I would expect way more palms and ferns and other plants growing along the paths and giving shade. It would look so much better if there were more plants, more shade and actual NPCs running around the place.

    I agree. If it looked more like an oasis I'd love it. But it needs a LOT more greens for that to happen...a lot more.

    not only does it need more green (LOTS more and bump up dat saturation SE!) but also some aqua water... even on the brightest days the water is drab AF



    also we pretty much have all brick lining the water where as the concepts sees way more green...



    this is just how the water looks in real places like this...



    EDIT: and why can't we go in the tower?

    WOW! I would be in awe if I ever saw that IRL...

    I really, really hope someone from SE notices this and maybe even suggests it to the dev team.

    Or if players could go behind waterfall, find secret stairs that leads into tower. Secret Oasis Spa.
