Owning a home in New World brings certain benefits. First of all, the house provides an additional place to store items. In addition, you can teleport to it from anywhere in the world. However, buying a house is not easy, because you need to meet certain conditions first. This page of the guide describes how to buy your own home.
How to buy a house?
Houses for sale are located in each settlement (there are several houses in one settlement). Each settlement, in turn, is assigned to a specific territory. Every territory lets you buy some upgrades – lower taxes, lower crafting costs, or buy a house.
To obtain these improvements, you must raise the level of the given territory. You can do this by carrying out missions in the given territory. These can be story quests from NPCs or simple missions from a notice board in a settlement (hunting animals or providing food).
Unlocking the improvement that lets you buy a house isn't everything, because each house has a certain price and requires the appropriate level of territory. Other than that, purchasing the first house is possible after reaching level 15. You will be able to buy the second house at level 35, and the third at 55. Only after all these conditions are met, the purchase of real estate becomes possible.
Levels (tiers) of houses
It is also worth paying attention to the level (tier) of the house. The higher the tier, the more expensive the house, but it will provide more benefits:
Tier 1 - 5,000 gold:
- Fast travel renewal time: 4 hours
- Places for lights: 4
- Maximum number of pets: 5
- Places for storage chests: 1
- Required territory rank: 10
Tier 2 - 10,000 gold:
- Fast travel renewal time: 3 hours
- Places for lights: 6
- Maximum number of pets: 6
- Places for storage chests: 2
- Required territory rank: 15
Tier 3 - 15,000 gold:
- Fast travel renewal time: 2,5 hours
- Places for lights: 8
- Maximum number of pets: 7
- Places for storage chests: 3
- Required territory rank: 20
Tier 4 - 20,000 gold:
- Fast travel renewal time: 2 hours
- Places for lights: 10
- Maximum number of pets: 8
- Places for storage chests: 4
- Required territory rank: 30
The price of the first house is reduced by 50%. Besides that, after buying a house, you will have to pay tax weekly. Its value depends on the level of the house, as well as the amount of taxes in a particular settlement. It is worth adding that the tax is reduced if the settlement belongs to your company. Unpaid tax does not result in the loss of the house. However, this blocks the option to use fast travel, decorate the house, and have bonuses from trophies.
