There are two types of housing: pre-built and custom. You then place the agreed upon gold/items in. A trade window opens and on the seller's side, a glacial colored deed is shown with the house information. The seller opens the house sign and begins the transaction process. Once you have located a home and decided on a price with the seller, you both meet at the house. Shard specific trading sites are a good place to look for listings or post your own buy requests. They might even say decide to if the price you offer is good enough. If you see someone while searching, ask them if they know anyone selling. You can go to areas you would like to live in and check house signs for sellers. You can stand at a popular bank, such as West Britain Bank or Luna. There are several ways to find a house for sale. There is no real secure method to handle such a transaction and going about how to pay by cash is not going to be covered here. The really pricey homes, such as the ones in Luna, usually only sell for cash. Once you settle on buying, there is another decision. For very large homes such as Keeps and Castles, buying is pretty much the only option available to most players. A big disadvantage is that the price is usually 10x or more then what it would cost to place yourself. One of the main advantages to buying a house is it is usually a lot quicker than placing yourself. They want a house in a specific location. They can't find one because they want a large. They don't have the time to look for a spot. If the house appears, congratulations! If not, keep trying. For more specifics on house placing, see House Placing. The house must also be 5 tiles away from any other player house from front and behind. New housing requires no blocking objects under or within 1 tile of the foundation. Either the house will appear or it will tell you something is blocking. When you are at your spot, select the house size/style and target the ground where the steps would go. On less populated, 18x18 and other large sizes can be found if looked for hard enough. On a heavily populated shard such as Atlantic, medium size houses are all that can fit. Depending on your Shard, the open land available can vary greatly. Once you have enough gold for the house it is time to find the location. Once you have your tool, look at the price ranges to see what is in your budget. Some characters of a persecuted nature advocate always carrying a tool so you can check your bank balance without saying "balance" and getting the public display of your net worth. To build a home you first need to purchase a House Placement Tool from an NPC Architect. There are two methods to get a house: build or buy. The ability to place, decorate, and customize your own home is one of the greatest aspects of this game. To date, no other MMO has implemented a system quite like it.
