STATUS FURNITURE

==================================================

If you're looking to reduce the weekly status point cost of your apartment or house, you need to furnish it correctly. This list will help you to do so.

A few quick caveats:

First, this list only deals with player-crafted furniture items. There are, of course, noncrafted furniture items in the game that also have significant status point reduction values, but all of them are either no-trade quest rewards, or no-trade items purchasable only with status points from city faction merchants. The furniture items listed here, on the other hand, are things you can obtain with relatively little hassle, either by checking your favorite broker or by bribing your favorite carpenter.

Second, the status reduction values listed here assume that the items are of pristine quality. Lesser quality items will provide less of a status cost reduction.

Finally, as was implied above, this list only includes items of "significant" status reduction value, which means items that provide at least a 100-point reduction.

==================================================

-- 900-Point Status Cost Reduction:

T7 rare furniture items each provide a 900-point status cost reduction. These items are made from harvested acrylia or xegonite clusters, lumbered ebony, moonstones or nimbus roots.

-- 500-Point Status Cost Reduction:

T5 rare furniture items each provide a 500-point status cost reduction. This includes all cedar, ebon and linen (but not "rough linen") furniture. To have a friendly carpenter make such an item for you, you'll almost certainly need to supply the rare harvested item, either a severed cedar, an ebon cluster or a figwarts root.

-- 400-Point Status Cost Reduction:

"Halasian Bearskin Rug," a T5 common furniture item, provides a 400-point status cost reduction.

-- 300-Point Status Cost Reduction:

T4 rare furniture items each provide a 300-point status cost reduction. This includes all oak, feysteel and cloth (but not "broadcloth" or "sackcloth") furniture. The required rare harvested items are severed oak, feysteel clusters and oak roots.

"Oil Painting of a Castle," "Oil Painting of a Stone Castle" and "Paladin Brazier," T5 common furniture items, also each provide a 300-point status cost reduction, as do "Fine Painting of a Stone Building," "Ornate Bedside Table" and "Ornate End Table," T4 common furniture items.

-- 200-Point Status Cost Reduction:

"Long Ornate Shelf," "Oil Painting of a Brick Castle," "Oil Painting of a Sea Shore Cliff" and "Wooden End Table," T4 common furniture items, each provide a 200-point status cost reduction.

-- 100-Point Status Cost Reduction:

T3 rare furniture items each provide a 100-point status cost reduction. This includes all fir, steel and ruckas furniture. The required rare harvested items are severed fir, steel clusters and dandelion fibers.

Additionally, "Fine Landscape Painting," "Generic Wall Sconce," "Painting of the Sun God" and "Short Militia Shelf," T3 common furniture items, each provide a 100-point status cost reduction.

Common T7 furniture items each provide a 100-point status cost reduction, as well.

==================================================

A CLOSING NOTE ON TIER 6 CARPENTRY:

There are no T6 player-crafted furniture items which provide significant status point reductions, and no rare T6 furniture items at all! That's right; there are *no* rare T6 furniture items. Feel free to bug your favorite GMs and/or developers to try to get this oversight corrected!
