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 Foreman NPC
Deeds to houses are available to players to purchase if they are unable to afford or craft there own Alterworld Custom House
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
