Housing
Housing & Real Estate covers Kintara's player-owned residences and rentable rooms.
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. Players can also rent rooms through the Navigator.
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. Any unsold property can still be bought in-game at its fixed price; once a property has been sold, its key can only be obtained through the Marketplace or player-to-player trading.
Key Types
Every property has its own named key (for example "House 3 Key" or "Mansion 2 Key"). Keys come in three classes, each covering different residence types:
| Key | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Flat · Trailer | |
| Apartment · House | |
| Penthouse · Mansion |
Rooms
Rooms are rentable player spaces that can be opened to everyone or locked behind a password. When creating a room, the owner can choose its size, layout, floor, backdrop, and name.
Rooms use Room Life, a weekly payment system:
| Room size | Capacity | Room Life cost |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 10 players | |
| Medium | 25 players | |
| Large | 50 players |
Kintara Club members pay 20% less Room Life. Property owners receive 25% more Room Life for the same Gold payment.
A player can hold up to three rooms at the same time.
When creating a room, the owner also picks one category from a fixed list — Games & Mazes, Hangouts, Role Playing, Guilds, Trading, Parties & Events, or Other — which is how other players find the room in the Navigator.
Rooms can be furnished using the Catalogue button inside the room. Furniture purchased this way is stored in the player's Furni bag and can be placed, moved, and rotated inside the room.
Navigator
The Navigator is a live room browser available from the compass button in the HUD or the Navigator tile in the mobile menu.
Players can use the Navigator to:
- Browse rooms across every server.
- Search rooms by name or category.
- Sort rooms by activity and player population.
- Enter a room directly from anywhere in the game.
- Find rented rooms and player-owned properties.
- Discover rooms and properties advertising events.
The Navigator can be opened while the player is anywhere in the game. However, travel through the Navigator is refused anywhere in a wilderness-family realm (the wilds, caves, Emberstone, and the Dunes) — even from a safe spot. Browsing the room list is always allowed.
Player-owned properties appear in the Rooms list when the owner is home, shown with a light-on indicator. Properties can also appear under the Navigator's Mine tab.
Room Management
Room owners can give trusted players permission to place furniture and kick other players from the room.
The following room-management commands are available to the room owner (the owner must be inside the room to use them):
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
/kickall
|
Kicks all players from the room. |
/pickall
|
Picks up all furniture in the room. |
Money Printer
Every property owner can buy and activate a Money Printer inside their residence — a machine that earns passive Gold paid out of the Casino's net profit (what players lose to the casino). In periods where the casino is at a net loss, printers pay nothing.
- 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 the casino's profit 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.
Real Estate By Region
There are 8 trailers, 5 houses, and 3 mansions on the Mainland, and 10 flats, 5 apartments, and 3 penthouses on The Pond.
Mainland
The Mainland is the primary urban hub for real estate and offers three property tiers.
| Property | Image | Key required | Tier | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trailer | Entry-level | 20 Gold | Most affordable Mainland residence. 8 units. | ||
| House | Mid-tier | 50 Gold | Standard Mainland home. 5 units. | ||
| Mansion | Luxury | 100 Gold | Top of the Mainland real-estate ladder. 3 units. |
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 | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat | Entry-level | 400 Gold | Standard Pond apartment. 10 units. | ||
| Apartment | Mid-tier | 1,000 Gold | Mid-range Pond residence. 5 units. | ||
| Penthouse | Luxury | 5,500–7,500 Gold | Top-floor Pond residence (Penthouse 1: 5,500 · Penthouse 2: 6,500 · Penthouse 3: 7,500). |
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 and rented room can be furnished with furniture. Furniture is sold by Bartholomew at the furniture showroom and can also be purchased through the Catalogue button inside a player's own room or property.
Purchased furniture is stored in the player's Furni bag. Pieces can be placed, moved, and rotated inside rooms and properties.
Furniture placement is server-authoritative, so the layout shown to one player is also visible to other players. Furniture is solid, allowing players to walk around couches and chairs instead of walking through them.
See Furniture and Furni Shop for available furniture and catalogue details.
Events
Players can advertise an event at a rented room or at a property they own. These event locations can appear in the Navigator so other players can find and join them.
Owned properties can appear in the Navigator's Mine tab.
Obtaining A Residence
Any unsold property can still be purchased directly in-game at its fixed Gold price — at the property's For Sale sign on the Mainland, or via the elevator tour at The Residences on The Pond. Once a property has been sold, its key 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 |
| Page 3 | 48 slots | 20 Gold |
| Page 4 | 48 slots | 50 Gold |
| Page 5 | 48 slots | 75 Gold |
| Page 6 | 48 slots | 100 Gold |
Placeable Structures
In addition to housing, players can drop small functional objects in the world.
| Object | Function |
|---|---|
| Money Printer | Property machine — earns passive Gold from the Casino's net profit. One per property, 1,000 Gold, with the payout scaling by key tier. |
| Firepit | Temporary campfire built from 20 Stone + 20 Coal + 50 Wood. Stand next to it to heal — it lasts 30 seconds before burning out. |
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 and rooms. |
| Site Foreman | Building guide | Mainland — gives the starter Hammer for Shack construction. |
