Wildstar Open Beta - Housing

Finally, after much waiting I've finally got access to housing. From what I understand, once you reach level 14 (I assume it's that since everywhere I've looked it said 14) and you go to your main city you will received a missed call/message giving you a housing quest. Once you complete this simple quest you get a plot of land. To build a house costs 1 Gold (advance houses aren't accessible to level 35 I think). I was lucky that after much questing, challenges and crafting I had some items to put around the place.
One of the nice features in this housing system is the ability to alter the size of most items. Mixing the sizes around is nice if you want to have variants on visual looks, but it can also be used to make nice little spots to jump to for a bit of fun.
A little fun with various bed sizes.
By increasing the tree size, I can jump onto higher spots for a better look around.

At this level though I do lack money and supplies to really build up on this, but hopefully I may have some better screenshots of what more I could add to this place. This also means I have yet to alter the sky and the level of lighting in the place. Lights themselves work within a light radius as seen below and while I don't mind it too much, I must admit I'm not on maximum graphics so I can't be sure if it could be improved.
Overall, so far I'm enjoying it and I can see myself putting lots more time into this with higher levels in crafting and more currency. Some of the better stuff does require form of currency called Renown which from my understanding, is earned by gaming with other people and the items that do use it are expensive. Given that I'm sure I've not earned any yet, I don't know how easy/hard it is to obtain.

Till next time...

Perhaps I need a smaller bed...
