Housing

This Housing guide is intended as an information portal for players looking to understand the renting and purchasing of houses on Alterworld Online.

House Rental, Settlers Island

Players and Guilds can rent housing (in the form of land property and Ocean property) at Settlers Island
Settlers Island can be found as an option on the Alterworld Online travel portal, located in the major cities
Players can rent a maximum of 1 property on Settlers Island
The price of the rental property is determined by the size, lock-down capacity and position
Player vendors are able to be placed on your property for players to shop items you chose to put on the market

Visit the Foreman NPC (can be found in the major cities on Alterworld Online)
The Foreman will sell deed recipes for custom Alterworld Online housing deeds
Open the recipe to see the items you will need to fulfill on the recipe in order to obtain the deed for the house
Once the recipe is fulfilled, return the recipe to the foreman to trade for the Deed you have fulfilled
Use the deed to place the house on Alterworld Online

To create a housing recipe, you will need to purchase a 'house drafting desk' from the Foreman NPC located in each major city on Alterworld Online
Lockdown your house drafting desk in your home
Select the house recipe you're looking to obtain
Depending on the complexity of the house, a minimum construction and inscription skill (or minimum combined skill) will be required to create the recipe
Recipe's require housing items in order to complete
Once the recipe is complete, return to the foreman NPC and provide the foreman NPC your completed house recipe to obtain the custom house deed

Adding items to Housing recipes will increase the relevant construction skill in your Extended Skills on Alterworld Online (example: While you're adding Wooden Frames to the recipe, this will also give you a chance to increase the extended skill 'Framing')
Some housing items may be found on the Foreman NPC, others may need to be resource that needs to be gathered or crafted on Alterworld Online
Adding items to Housing recipes will not always be successful on your attempt
Success rate is determined by your skill level in the aligned item on the recipe
Success rate will increase as you master the relevant housing skills aligned to the task you're completing in the recipe
Becoming a master in all housing skills will decrease the gold outlay, making deed sales more profitable for the player on the market
Placement of the deed you receive

Housing skills relate to the extended skills Framing, Brick laying, Roofing and Stone Masonry

The Construction skill relates to the placement of the house
Success rate on placement of the deed on Alterworld is determined by your construction skill level
The success rate will increase as you master the relevant housing skills aligned to the task you're completing in the recipe
Becoming a master in construction and a trusted member of the community may be seen as a lucrative career opportunity?

Alterworld custom houses can be found here
Alterworld custom houses can not be purchased via the house placement tool or vendors. They are only available by completing recipes through foreman and using Alterworld's construction skills.

Visit the town's Architect NPC
Purchase a House Placement tool from the Architect
Double-click to see the list of available houses to place and the price you must pay to place it on an available land slot
Purchase the house you would like and place the house deed on an available piece of land on Alterworld Online

Player Vendors are only available to be placed on an player owned or rental property/house on Alterworld Online

The placement and positioning of your property is an important consideration
Having an owned house, that is close to a busy town entrance or popular player area (e.g. Travel Portals) will increase visibility of your player vendor and provide more opportunity for transactions / gold to be spent by other players
Having a rental property on Settlers island, close to the busiest areas of the island (e.g. The Travel Portal or highly populated rental area) will increase visibility of your player vendor and provide more opportunity for transactions / gold to be spent by other players
If you would prefer a discreet location, you may be able to battle this disadvantage by fantastic marketing on discord, ingame or our forums

In order to make adjustments to locked or secure items in your property, purchase an interior design tool from the Architect NPC
Double click the interior design tool to provide you with options on what you can adjust
