The **Homestead** is a housing system introduced in the PWI Elysium expansion. Players are able to obtain their own space which they can customize to their liking. They can shape the landscape, place buildings, trees, flowers and more. The Homestead also offers materials for skill upgrades, materials for Dragonbreath Weapons and other rewards such as Star Chart items and War Avatar Cards.

## Unlocking the Homestead

In order to acquire a Homestead, players must be level 70 or higher. To unlock your Homestead, talk to Vyn Yen, the Warrior in West Archosaur (522, 657). Each player can only obtain one Homestead.

In order to level up the homestead, players will be required to reawaken and reach certain Boundary levels.

## Overview

After you obtain your Homestead, you can access it from the menu at the bottom right of your screen. Once you click the icon to enter your Homestead, you will be teleported inside. The Homestead is an instanced space, but unlike Dungeons it does not have a timer and other players are able to enter without a squad. You cannot enter your Homestead if you are outside a safe zone or you are in PK mode (which displays a set of swords next to your name).

### Homestead Interface

Once inside, your character's Health and Mana bars will be replaced by the Homestead interface. If you wish to see your character's interface you can click on the small arrow at the top left of the Homestead interface.

In the Homestead's interface, you can see your Homestead's level, experience, Prosperity, Cleanness, and energy. Below you have three buttons with the names M, Q and E. Clicking on E will allow you to exit the Homestead. Q will bring up the Homestead quest log. M will bring up the management window.

In the management window, you can see the values of your Homestead. When the Homestead has enough experience to level up, the Up button will light up and clicking it will bring your Homestead to the next level. The Homestead will not level up automatically. If you do not manually click the Up button, the Homestead will continue to accumulate experience without leveling up. If your Homestead does not level when clicking this button, try hovering over it and check that the level and boundary requirements have been met.

Below your Homestead values, you can see your resources and the Exchange button which allows you to trade materials at a 1:2 ratio. This is useful for when you're running low on certain materials but have an excess of others and want to craft an item.

Underneath the resources, you have five options.

#### Settings

Settings allow you to control who can enter your Homestead and whether you want to allow your spouse to manage your Homestead. In the settings you can also re-name your Homestead by using a Bloom Whisper Stone from the Boutique. A free Bloom Whisper Stone is given to players after completing the initial Homestead quests.

#### Construction

Construction allows you to customize your Homestead. It has its own interface.

#### Codex

The Codex opens up a list of craft-able Homestead items. Here you can find information for each craft-able item such as what level Workshop and what mastery is required to obtain their recipes, the amount of materials they need and what is their Prosperity range. The Codex is also used for setting Valuable Assets for Prosperity or for finding Contractors for specific items by clicking on Search Contractor at the bottom right of the Codex interface.

#### Manage

Manage allows you to kick unwanted players who are currently in your Homestead.

#### Upload

Upload allows you to display your Homestead in the Homestead Ranks. This creates a copy of your current Homestead and players from other servers can visit it. You can display your Homestead for a minimum of 7 days or a maximum of 30 days.

### Prosperity

Higher Prosperity gives your Homestead more energy, allowing you to craft more items daily, or craft items that require a high amount of energy. It also unlocks higher tier Collection quests which are necessary for farming grade 17 weapons.

You can gain Prosperity by crafting items from different categories. Each item offers a random amount of Prosperity out of its Prosperity range. You can assign different items as Valuable Assets to raise or lower your Prosperity. Click M at the top left and open the Codex. Here you can select an item for each category and set it as a Valuable Asset. You can only get Prosperity for one item per category. You cannot change Valuable Assets during the time that you have a Contract up.

### Cleanness

Cleanness allows your Homestead facilities to work, and if it reaches 0 your facilities will stop producing Cerise Gems and materials and you will not be able to access certain features of the Homestead. Cleanness can be restored by using Cerise Gems, coins or a combination of the two. You can do this by clicking M in the Homestead interface and then "Add" next to Cleanness in the management window. Your Homestead will lose a certain amount of Cleanness every day after the server resets. If your Homestead has high Prosperity, then more Cerise Gems or coins will be required to restore it.

### Energy

Homestead energy is required for crafting items. When the energy runs out, you can no longer craft items in your own Homestead. The energy resets every day at 00:00 server time.

## Homestead Facilities

The Homestead Facilities are buildings with different functions that help your Homestead grow. With these, you can level up the Homestead, craft items and complete quests to farm grade 17 weapon materials.

### Harvesting

Fragrance Garden (homestead lvl1) and Charger's Paradise (homestead lvl 11) are important facilities that produce Cerise Gems. You can plant seeds in the garden, and place animals in the paradise. After a certain amount of time passes, which is dependent on which type of seeds and animals were used, you can harvest. After harvesting you will gain Homestead experience, Cerise Gems and Minion pouches.

Cerise gems are essential for the Homestead. They are used for cleaning, for refreshing Collection quests and for recharging the material facilities. The current number of Cerise Gems is displayed at the top left of the screen.

Higher-level animals and seeds give more experience, more Cerise Gems, and higher quality Minion pouches.

You can level up your Fragrance Garden and Charger's Paradise to get even more experience and Cerise Gems per harvest. This will become important at higher Homestead levels when larger amounts of Cerise Gems will be required.

You can buy the standard seeds and animals from the NPC Vyn Ren at West Archosaur near the Apothecary. Higher-level seeds and animals can be obtained from Uncharted Paradise and Dawnlight Halls.

### Crafting

The Heavenly Creation Workshop and the Wonder Market are the facilities from which you can craft items. The Heavenly Creation Workshop is for crafting items related to your Workshop's mastery. The Wonder Market is for crafting trees, flowers and trophy statues.

In order to craft an item, you need to obtain the item's recipe, materials, and Homestead energy, all of which will be consumed once the item has been crafted.

#### Workshop Mastery

After you level up your Workshop to level 2, you have to choose a mastery. This will decide which recipes you can obtain from your daily Delivery quests. Regardless of what you choose, you will never be able to craft everything you need. This makes it important to work together with other players that have a different mastery than you.

You can reset your Workshop's mastery by using an Artisan Heart Stone from the Boutique, but you will lose all of the recipes of your previous mastery.

Workshop Masteries:

* Construction can craft from categories: Wall, Door, Scene, and Facility.
* Decoration can craft from categories: Art, Decor, Relief, Paint, and Hanging.
* Furniture can craft from categories: Bed, Shelf, and Table.
* Handcraft can craft from categories: Carve, View, Lamp, and Interior.

#### Contracts

You can place a contract in your Workshop and other players can come into your Homestead and craft it. This way players can craft items even if they don't have the recipes. When players craft items from your Homestead, you gain Homestead experience and your Homestead energy will be consumed, but it consumes the other player's materials.

You can place a contract by clicking on your Workshop, choose Contract, choose the recipe you wish to contract, click Add, choose price and amount and then click Confirm.

### Resources

The Galleries are facilities the produce materials (resources) which are required for crafting items. The Galleries will only produce materials for as long as they have been fueled with Cerise Gems. They can be filled for up to 36 hours. You can refill them any time you want as long you have Cerise Gems. The amount of materials the buildings generate depends on their level. Higher-level Galleries require more Cerise Gems to refill them.

You can see your materials displayed at the top of the screen in this order (from left to right):

* Cerise Gem
* Jadestone from the Jewel Gallery
* Deity Wood from the Void Workshop
* Transition Crystal from the Curio Gallery
* Brocade from the Fashion Gallery

### Cornucopia

You can obtain a Cornucopia for your Homestead by taking the quest from the NPC Gold Bowl of Wonder at West Archosaur. This gives you a recipe to craft it. Enter your Homestead and right-click the recipe in your inventory. You can now craft the Cornucopia at your Wonder Market.

From the same NPC, you can buy different types of Red Envelopes. By placing Red Envelopes with your coin or Gold in the Cornucopia, other players can enter your Homestead and pick up an envelope with a random amount of coin or Gold. As an example, if you placed 20,000,000 coins and 50 Red Envelopes, the first player that picks up an envelope will get a random amount between 1 coin and 19,999,999 coins. Each player can only pick once. The last player that picks up an envelope will always get the remaining coins.

### Elysian Arena

*Main article: Minions*
The Elysian Arena allows you access to the Minions which can improve your Homestead facilities. You can also have your Minions fight against other Minions to gain rewards.

## Homestead Quests

Homestead Quests are daily quests and have their own separate quest log. Press the Q at the top left corner of your Homestead interface to bring up the Homestead quest log. Quests in the Homestead quest interface do not auto-complete; players must manually complete each quest under the "Complete" tab in the same window.

Sometimes other quests may show up in the Homestead quest interface, such as those from the Dragon Brush Event or the "Way of the Cook" quest in the What Lurks Below quest series.

### Delivery Quests

Delivery quests reward you with recipes to craft Homestead items. Delivery quests have a variety of objectives to complete that is usually achievable by players of any level.

#### Gardening Manual

Under the Delivery tab of your Homestead quest log, you will see a quest called "Gardening Manual Page". After accepting this quest, you will get a list of Wonder Market related quests. If your Wonder Market is level 1, you will only see one option. Higher-level Wonder Markets will have more options, each one corresponding to a certain level. Accepting one of the quests and completing it, will reward you with a random recipe for a tree or a flower of the corresponding level. Gardening quests usually require you to find and talk to a specific NPC or to find a specific location with the aid of a treasure map.

#### Handbook Quests

If your Workshop is above level 2, you will have a Handbook quest, named after your Workshop's mastery (Construction Handbook, Decoration Handbook, Furniture Handbook or Handcraft Handbook). Most handbook quests can be completed immediately within the Homestead Quest interface. The only exceptions are the Novice quests which require you to deliver a backpack to a certain NPC, and the Professional quests which require you to dig a certain crystal somewhere in the Midlands.
