Houses
Build your own hall with Crafting, from the Menagerie and Restoration Pool to the Delve Portal, and visit your friends' houses.
A hall of your own
Every adventurer in Emberfall keeps a timber hall on the house row, just north of town. Yours starts empty. You build it up with the Crafting skill, one build spot at a time, and every spot does something useful.
Friends can visit your house, and you can visit theirs. When you're in a party and go home, your party mates are asked whether they'd like to come over.
Getting there
Walk to the house row north of Emberfall and use the entrance there:
- Go home to visit your own house.
- Visit someone else's by typing their name.
Leave through the door to go back to Emberfall. Houses are safe: nothing can attack you inside.
Building
Your house has seven build spots. Walk up to one and tap it to see what it needs. Each tier needs:
- A Crafting level.
- Materials, mostly planks. Planks are made from logs at the Crafting Bench.
- Some higher tiers also need gold, bars or cut gems.
Building a tier uses up the materials and gives you a big chunk of Crafting XP.
| Build spot | Tier | Crafting level | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Menagerie | Pet Pen | 3 | Your pets live here. Choose which one follows you. |
| Pet Garden | 18 | A bigger home for your pets: they wander the whole hall. | |
| Grand Menagerie | 32 | Your companion’s bonus is doubled. | |
| Restoration Pool | Stone Basin | 5 | Bathe to fully heal. |
| Rejuvenation Pool | 20 | Heal, then Well-Rested: +5% XP for 20 minutes. | |
| Ornate Pool | 35 | Heal, then Well-Rested: +10% XP for 40 minutes. | |
| Delve Portal | Delve Arch | 10 | Step straight into the Ashen Depths from home. |
| Runed Arch | 25 | Start a delve at depth 4 (once you have reached it). | |
| Ember Gate | 40 | Start a delve at depth 7 (once you have reached it). | |
| Home Forge | Furnace and Anvil | 12 | Smelt and smith without leaving home. |
| Kitchen | Cooking Range | 8 | Cook at home. |
| Vault | Bank Chest | 6 | Your bank, at home. |
| Trophy Wall | Plaque | 2 | Shows your deepest delve to visitors. |
| Trophy Wall | 22 | A grand wall with a mounted minotaur skull: shows visitors your deepest delve and your pet collection. |
The build menu at each spot shows the exact materials and gold for its next tier.
The build spots
Menagerie
Where your pets live. The Pet Pen gives your pets a home and lets you pick your companion; the Pet Garden lets them wander the whole hall; and the Grand Menagerie doubles your companion's bonus. See Pets.
Restoration Pool
Bathe to heal fully. From the second tier on, bathing also makes you Well-Rested: bonus XP on every skill for a while. The top tier gives a bigger bonus for longer. Visitors can bathe in your pool too, and they get your pool's tier.
Delve Portal
A shortcut into the Ashen Depths from home. The first tier drops you on the first floor. Higher tiers let you start a delve deeper down, at checkpoint floors, once you've reached them yourself.
Home Forge
A Furnace and Anvil at home: smelt and smith without leaving the house.
Kitchen
A Cooking Range at home, for Cooking.
Vault
A Bank Chest at home. It's the same bank as everywhere else, gear and gold alike. See The Bank.
Trophy Wall
Show off. The Plaque shows visitors your deepest delve. The full Trophy Wall, with its mounted minotaur skull, also shows your pet collection.
Suggested order
- Menagerie (Pet Pen): cheap, and the Objective card asks for it early.
- Trophy Wall (Plaque): the cheapest build of all.
- Restoration Pool (Stone Basin), then its second tier as soon as you can, for Well-Rested XP.
- Vault and Kitchen: everyday convenience.
- Delve Portal: once the Depths are part of your routine.
- Home Forge, then the top tiers as your Crafting climbs.
