Housing

**Housing** is a feature available early in the game. Once players reach level 14 they can visit their faction's capital city and complete the quest *Housing of the Future* after which the housing plot for that character is available.

You start off with simple designs and can build them up into more desirable designs with different features, the inner outer, walls, roofs, doors, windows, wallpapers and furniture can all be changed or added onto your home. Items in your home such as furniture are not restricted by physics, you can make chairs, tables, flower pots, shelves and everything else float.

You can scale items inside the house to be five times bigger or smaller, and have up to a plethora of items in your house.

For more about house customization see Customizing your house.

## Acquiring housing items

Around the map housing items have a chance to drop from mobs which you kill in the open world, from crafting and from quest rewards.

## Rested XP

When you log off in your home you are granted rest XP, the amount obtained is higher than when logging out elsewhere in game.

### Extra multipliers

Additional boosts to the amount of Rested XP gained can be obtained by placing specific decor items on a character's plot.

Some decor items have a special characteristic in the sense that they provide a small, medium or large boost to Pride, Ambience, Aroma, Lighting and Comfort. For all five categories the decor item with the highest boost is applied as bonus to Rested XP gains. Under ideal circumstances players obtain a Large boost for each category.

## Sockets & plugs

Around your home is an area of land which you are able to build facilities on, these are called sockets. The things you build on top of them are called plugs. You can build Mine sites and farms which you can harvest resources from. Additionally you are able to create craft stations on your land. Your plugs will give you daily quests which you can complete for rewards.

## Other players access

Others players are able to visit your Housing plot if the Visitor Rules (Private, Neighbors Only, Roommates Only or Public) permit this. In addition rules can be set allowing players to harvest your gardens and resource nodes. If they do this you can choose to either have the materials send to you by mail, to share with the person who gathered the resources or to let that player have all the resources they gathered.

## Housing Expeditions

Houses can have expeditions; a type of mini expedition that you enter on your own or with your friends, which will scale accordingly. Housing Expeditions also have their own unique decor rewards which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

## Communities

On September 6th 2017 the Homecoming update went live which saw the introduction of the Communities feature, known to some as Neighborhoods while they still in development.

Communities are mega Housing plots in which five actual player housing plots can be placed. In addition Communities have a shared area between the five plot which can be decorated aswell by Community members who have the relevant permission.

## Useful notes

You are able to teleport to your home from any location in the open world
