Building a Home

To create any sort of home, you need a House Placement Tool, purchaseable from Architects. There is one in Britain, near the Healers/Smithy. Goto a World TP, Custom, LB Castle. Its five steps to the North-East.


Creating a home can be costly, but larger homes hold more items. You have the choice between Classic homes (pre-built) and Custom homes (2-story or 3-story homes you build, The Sims style). You are allowed TWO houses per account. Additional slots can be purchased for 400 ED (includes 50 ED attachment fee).

Next up is finding a plot. You can build anywhere in Trammel, Malas, Magda (a mirror of Malas, specifically for housing), and some parts of Tokuno. The surface must be flat, free of obstructions, and cannot be built close to other homes. One tile East-West, 6 tiles North-South.

Tools in the Home

Deco Tool - Used to arrange items in your home.

Yard Wand - Used to purchase and place special items in and around your home.

Yard tools can be used to build stuff outside of your home, in your lawn, as well as inside. They can be sold by double clicking on them (this might rotate the item instead. Simply single click for a drop-down menu to sell it). Yard items can also be raised/lowered with an Interior Decorator. You can create bridges that connect homes in this fashion.

Apartments

For those without many belongings or gold, an apartment may suit you best. Head to a World TP, Custom, Apartments. Any of the tiles near the World TP lead to small, VERY cheap rooms in inns, or on the outskirts of towns. Not much storage, but its quite cheap.

There are also rent able buildings further down from the World TP, that are quite costly, but much larger. These are buildings in towns, with prime locations, or lavish designs. They are quite costly in the long run, however
