Houses¶

Placing a house¶

One house per account.
Use a House Placement Tool and pick a design. The price is listed in the tool and taken from your bank.
You can't build in towns, guarded or no-build areas, or anywhere something blocks the footprint.
Re-placing (changing design) charges or refunds the price difference.
Houses must be at least 10 tiles from any Garden Plot.

A house lasts 30 days without a refresh. It goes Like New → Slightly → Somewhat → Fairly → Greatly worn → In Danger of Collapsing, then collapses.
Refreshing: the house refreshes whenever its owner, a co-owner or a friend walks in or uses a door.
When a house collapses, loot goblins collect the decayed items.

Each design has a base number of secures and lockdowns. Owners can buy storage upgrades from the house menu:

+25% storage per upgrade, up to 10 upgrades (350%).
The cost is your current secure count × 500 gold, ×1.15 for each upgrade you already have. It comes from your bank.
Upgrade costs are added to the house's value.

Up to 15 co-owners.

Upgrade	Cost	Effect
Recall enhancement	15 Platinum Coins	You and your friends can mark and recall inside the house
Storage upgrade	see above	+25% secures and lockdowns

Vendors: public vendors (more for bigger houses), 1 animal trainer, up to 5 custom NPCs and up to 5 barkeeps.

When you demolish your house, you get back 80% of its value (including storage upgrades) as a bank check in your bank box.

Platinum-bought town houses also refund 80% of their platinum price.
Everything left inside stays on the ground, free for anyone to take, and the land opens for a new house.
Staff demolitions give no refund.
