After meeting with Canthion back at his bank , he tells you to obtain at least one piece of furniture for the room so that he can give it to you . The simplest way is to buy at least one piece of furniture from the nearest Home Goods Furnisher in the city ( in Vulkhel Guard , Rozhika in Daggerfall , in Davon ' s Watch ) . It is also possible to purchase furniture with Crowns , though this would require you to have bought a house before the quest , as the Crown Store for furniture is only accessible when in an owned house . Since every house purchasable with gold requires you to have this quest ( A Friend in Need ) already completed , this method is not recommended , and it is best to stick with buying the items from a Furnisher . Another method is to craft something after learning a blueprint , which can be bought from most merchants or found in containers when exploring . Crafting the furniture however requires resources and knowledge of the blueprint ' s crafting level , though if you have these requirements , it can be simple to make them . Receiving the house . After you have at least one piece of furniture , meet with Canthion at the inn ( Aldmeri Dominion : Mara ' s Kiss Public House in Vulkhel Guard ; Daggerfall Covenant : The Rosy Lion in Daggerfall ; Ebonheart Pact : The Ebony Flask in Ebonheart ) and he will let you complete the quest , giving you the room and the other rewards .
