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

Due to their limited supply and high demand, keys are consistently among the most expensive items listed on the Marketplace.
