Housing & Real Estate covers Kintara's player-owned residences. Each residence comes with a key that grants access and can be walked into and customized with furniture purchased from Bartholomew at the furniture showroom. Every property can also run a Money Printer for passive Gold income. Keys are the most sought after, rare, and expensive items in all of Kintara. At launch they were purchasable directly with Gold, but are now exclusively obtained through the Marketplace or player-to-player trading.

Key Types

There are three tiers of keys, each unlocking different residence types:

Key Unlocks
Bronze Key Flat · Trailer
Silver Key Apartment · House
Gold Key Penthouse · Mansion

Money Printer

Every property owner can buy and activate a Money Printer inside their residence — a machine that earns passive Gold by paying out a share of the Casino's losses.

  • Bought for 1,000 Gold from a pop-up option while standing inside your property.
  • One-time activation, no fuel or upkeep. It accumulates Gold passively (even while offline) and is claimed at will.
  • One printer per property.
  • Your cut of casino losses scales with your key tier — Gold Key properties earn the highest cut, then Silver Key, then Bronze Key.

See Money Printer for full mechanics and the tier payout table.
