Services

The Mainland has most of Kintara's early-game services in one place. The Bank keeps items safe, the Traveling Merchant turns gathered resources into Gold, and the Casino offers roulette and blackjack. The plaza Spinner Wheel grants one free spin per rolling 24-hour window (players with the top-tier $KINS holder perk get two); spinning requires Total Level 5.

The Alchemist Shop sells potions for gathered resources and a weekly rotating mount. The Wishing Well lets players make real charity donations for raffle prizes. The Furni Shop sells furniture and housing decorations for player-owned properties.

Furni Shop

The Furni Shop is a furniture showroom on the Mainland operated by Bartholomew. Players can browse and buy furniture using Gold from their backpack.

The shop contains a regular furniture catalogue and a featured Limited Rare section. Catalogue items are organised by furniture type and style, while the shop interface also includes search and filtering options.

Furniture purchased from the shop is stored in the player's Furni bag. Players can use their furniture inside properties they own, where pieces can be placed, moved, and rotated.

The catalogue is permanent — items stay on sale with no timer. Only the Limited Rare slot rotates, carrying one featured offer at a time. Furniture can also be listed on the Marketplace under the Furni category.

See Furni Shop for the full shop layout, furniture catalogue, and purchase details.

Healing

The central Fountain Plaza restores 20 HP every 2 seconds while you stand nearby. This makes the Mainland the safest place to recover after fighting in the Wilderness. It was also the traditional recovery spot after duelling in the PvP Arena, before the public arena queue was removed.
