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. 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 |
|---|---|
| Flat · Trailer | |
| Apartment · House | |
| Penthouse · Mansion |
Real Estate By Region
Mainland
The Mainland is the primary urban hub for real estate and offers three property tiers.
| Property | Image | Key required | Tier | Release price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trailer | Entry-level | 20 Gold | Most affordable Mainland residence. | ||
| House | Mid-tier | 50 Gold | Standard Mainland home. | ||
| Mansion | Luxury | 100 Gold | Top of the Mainland real-estate ladder. |
The Pond
The Pond offers apartment-style residences with a waterside view. Housing NPCs Beauregard and Marguerite are located here to assist with property tours and purchases.
| Property | Image | Key required | Tier | Release price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | Entry-level | 400 Gold | Standard Pond apartment. | ||
| Apartment | Mid-tier | 1,000 Gold | Mid-range Pond residence. | ||
| Penthouse | Luxury | 4,500–6,500 Gold | Top-floor Pond residence (Penthouse 1–3). |
Whisperwood
Whisperwood is the only region where players construct their own personal structure rather than purchasing a pre-built one.
| Property | Image | Key required | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shack | None | Self-built | One per character. Built with a Hammer and gathered materials. Can be relocated with the /pickup chat command.
|
Customization
Every residence can be walked into and decorated with furniture. Furniture is sold by Bartholomew at the furniture showroom on a rotating basis. See Furniture for available items.
Obtaining A Residence
Keys were originally purchasable with Gold at game launch. They are no longer available through any in-game source and can only be obtained by:
- Buying from another player on the Marketplace
- Direct player-to-player trading
Due to their limited supply and high demand, keys are consistently among the most expensive items listed on the Marketplace.
Bank Storage
Players can also expand their Bank storage by purchasing additional pages with Gold. This is separate from housing but also a significant Gold sink:
| Bank page | Slots added | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Page 1 | 48 slots | Free (default) |
| Page 2 | 48 slots | 10 Gold |
| Pages 3–6 | 48 slots each | Cost increases per page (unconfirmed) |
Placeable Structures
In addition to housing, players can drop small functional objects in the world.
| Object | Function |
|---|---|
| Firepit | Provides healing for the player who placed it and nearby allies. |
NPCs
| NPC | Role | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Beauregard | Housing guide | The Pond — assists with property tours and purchases. |
| Marguerite | Housing guide | The Pond — assists with property tours and purchases. |
| Bartholomew | Furniture shop | Furniture showroom — sells decorative items for residences. |
| Site Foreman | Building guide | Mainland — gives the starter Hammer for Shack construction. |
Tools
- Hammer — issued by the Site Foreman on the Mainland, required for Shack construction.
