Housing
Housing & Real Estate covers Kintara's player-built and player-placed structures, the tools used to construct them, and the rules around where they can live. The system is intentionally light: every player starts with a basic Hammer from the tutorial NPC on the Mainland, and uses it to set up a permanent home in an approved region.
Types of housing
| Type | Where | How to get | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shack | Whisperwood | Build with a Hammer and gathered materials | One per character. Can be moved with the /pickup chat command.
|
| Apartment | Mainland | Introduced in update 3.6 alongside banking and merchant cycles | Urban alternative to the Shack. |
Placeable structures
In addition to housing proper, players can drop small functional objects in the world.
| Object | Function |
|---|---|
| Firepit | Provides healing for the player who placed it and nearby allies. |
Tools
- Hammer — issued by the tutorial NPC; required for all construction.
Moving and removing
The /pickup chat command lets you relocate your existing housing without demolishing it from scratch. This is particularly useful for the Shack in Whisperwood, where players sometimes want to migrate closer to gathering nodes or away from PvP risk.
