Housing

A key part of Elin is managing My Home, a location the player sets up as a home base for housing.

Housing has several mechanics relating to land ownership, delegating tasks, raising your community, and Crafting.

Land

You can acquire land by reading the Land deed in a place that does not belong to any faction.

In Elona, each property had its own set of uses, but in Elin there is no such classification.

By combining Land Feet, Residents, and Home policies, your land can be used for a variety of purposes.

Please also see our pages on Farming, Ranch, etc.


In addition, relocation deed allow players to move their land to any location.

The terrain and land feats do not change when moving, so things like moving a sea map to the middle of a grassy field are possible.

Taxes

Taxes are due at the beginning of every month, with a tax bill being mailed to the player. Not paying your taxes in four month gives the player negative karma, and can lead to repercussions.

The amount of tax is the sum of [ base tax + fame tax + voluntary tax ].

The Base Tax is increased according to the number of months elapsed and the income from the fourth and subsequent non-tax-exempt land, while the Fame Tax is increased according to the player's fame.

The voluntary tax is a tax that can be paid at the player's discretion. The player can choose not to pay it, but if you do, you will receive gold bars as a return gift in proportion to the amount of the tax paid. The amount of voluntary taxes can be changed by asking the maid of My Home or the secretary of the town.

Hearthstone

The Hearthstone is a mysterious stone placed on a player's land that allows him to store inhabitants in the stone and pull them out on another piece of land, rename that piece of land, and publish that map online.

As the hearthstone levels, more features of housing are slowly unlocked, but the danger level of the home also rises. Hearthstones level individually on a land-by-land basis, and leveling hearthstones in another land the player owns will provide bonuses to all lands based on the type of land held. The growth of the pact stones can be controlled by My Home policy.

The following table is an example of a hearthstone in Meadow. The maximum number of inhabitants and other values vary depending on the land feats it has.

Meadow
Level Admin Points Population Danger Level Build Mode Other Benefits
1 5 6 3 Terrain
2 10 9 7 Relocation Utility Department Policies
3 15 12 11 Clearing Item Protection
4 20 15 15 Mining 2nd Feat
5 25 18 19 Collecting, Recipe Network
6 30 21 23 Free Build
7 35 24 27 3rd Feat

Buildings

Four walls (or more) and a door!

Build mode

The Build Mode allows you to freely edit your Home using a dedicated UI.

To use this mode, you basically need a “build board” sold by Loytel.

As long as you have the ingredients and facility, you can save yourself the trouble of crafting, but be aware that you will consume Oren instead of Stamina.

Initially, only terrain can be raised or lowered, but as the pact stones grow and the “Construction” home skill level increases, new functions are released. When “Free Build” is eventually released, the build mode can be started from the “Build” icon in the lower right corner of the screen, next to the journal, and the build board is no longer required.

Residents

Roles

  • Maid
    Expands your land, applies to pay additional taxes to Mysilia, and change the player's title. You can appoint your favorite residents and livestock as a maid. Gold bars are used to expand the land, which can be up to 90 km2 in size. Additional tax payments will increase the amount of taxes, but Missilia will send you back a number of gold bars corresponding to the amount of additional tax payments.
  • Livestock
    Consume grass to produce milk and eggs. Production efficiency varies by races. If the livestock can be sheared, they can also consume grass to recover the sheared hair. Livestock are not counted as residents, but instead cannot do their original jobs and hobbies, cannot be bought and sold, cannot be taken on adventures as pets, and no longer generate requests. You can appoint any resident as a livestock or return them as a resident from the resident board/list.
  • Secretary
    Although not strictly a role, the presence of a secretary/elder NPC allows for investment in the town's development level/trading in the influence store. Investing in the town's development is not cheap, but it increases the size of all merchants in the town at the same time. The Influence Shop has the same selection of goods as in other cities, but the furniture collection tickets are for Missilia.

Jobs

Each resident of My Home has a primary job which they will try to fulfil if your home has the proper facilities and signboard, and a hobby which they will do on the side.

The efficiency of the job is variable, depending on the skill level of the residents and the quality and healing traits of their beds.

Also, some types of NPCs have fixed jobs and hobbies, such as a magician whose job is research, and a farmer whose job is farming and his hobby is tinkering in the fields.

Also, some NPCs have fixed jobs and hobbies. If their job and hobbies are not fixed, you can reroll them by using the Whip of love; it can be purchased as you progress through the main quest. Some are selected only for job, some only for hobbies, some for both, and some are possessed only by certain NPCs.

Commodity Stockpile Sign

  • Npcs will use this area to gather and drop trash. They will place trash in the proper sorting bins if they are in radius of this sign.

Lumberjack Sign

Designates a room or a 4 block radius as a lumber yard.

  • Residents with lumberjack jobs or hobbies will move into this area to work. However, they will not be able to actually cut down trees growing in the area, only deliver logs procured from somewhere else as an effect of their work.

Ranch Sign

Designates a room or a 4 block radius as a ranch. Livestock NPCs gather around this area.

Fishing Sign

Farm Sign

  • If you have set up a Delegated farming policy, only fields within the area/room designated by this sign will be subject to automatic cultivation & harvesting.

Signpost

Placed at the map edge of a base, a signpost specifies where it will appear when a player enters the home from the direction in which the signpost is placed.

  • Only one square at the edge of each direction on the map can be designated; placing a signpost in the center of the base has no effect.
  • When used in conjunction with a guidesign, the effect of the guidesign takes precedence over the signpost.

Guidesign

Designates a room or 3x3 area as the location where a player will appear when entering the home.

  • Once this is in place, the player will appear at the location specified by this sign, no matter from which direction you enter the home.

Skills & Policies

At the house board, the player can enact many decrees and skills for My Home that apply many various effects. Certain NPCs can effect the level of the skill.

Plans, bought from scholars for Gold Bars, can allow you to learn new skills and policies.

Certain NPC jobs and hobbies affect home skill levels.

You can raise home skill levels at the cost of Gold Bars, at Skill Level +5 bars/level. Innate cap refers to the maximum level that the skill can increase through gold bars alone; it can still be increased further by resident jobs.
