Housing | Crafting WildStar Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Building and edition
Everyone would like to have their own strip of land, somewhere in the wilderness, to be able to build his little house. In Wildstar, this is an option and everyone, who reaches level 14, may receive their own land.
After you meet the requirements, you only need to go to the capital city and you should receive a quest to obtain the house. It mainly consists in seeing the styles of various interiors, after which you go to the nearby hologram of a house. You will then get to your own plot.
The first thing that you need to do is erect your own house. Above the skill bar, there should appear the options that you need to use:
Landspace - building of structures on your own land. With this panel, you can build your own, first house. The majority of houses that you can build depend on your level so, you start with only several possibilities. There is no option here, for you to decide where to put walls or about the layout of rooms.
Apart from the house, you can create a garden for yourself, the venue site or mines, which are going to regenerate the deposits of minerals. Very useful for crafting. Of course, such things go to waste, after a while and you need to put them up again, after a while.
Apart from that, you can build the site for challenges which, after being completed, provide you with rewards. Challenges regenerate after some time.
Apart from that, you can also upgrade them. To upgrade a structure, e.g. a mine, you need to have the appropriate FabKit. Fabkits can be obtained while exploring the world, for quests and, most often, by crafting.
House - you determine the looks of the exterior. The looks of the roof, door and the sky. You can specify that fireworks should crack in the skies, for the whole time.
Crate - this is your inventory of the items that you can put up on your entire estate. If you have the adornments in your regular inventory, you first need to click the right mouse button, for that item to be transferred to the Crate. Now you only need to click on "Place" to set the item on the ground.
Vendor - this is a store with various items, which you can buy for your house. Usually, they cost quite a bit.
List - this is the list with all the items that you have placed on your land. Now you have the house and you would like to adorn it. You simply need to access the Crate and select what you want to place. Click "Place", and the item will appear on the ground. I recommend that you click on the item and drag it where you want it to be placed, in general. Then, access the "Toggle Advanced Control" tab. This should open a window of advanced edition, where you can set the size of the item, move it around and rotate, as much as you want.
Bonuses
Apart from the looks, the house can also provide you with several bonuses, which are sure to reinforce your character.
Buff board- it is always located next to the teleporter outside. Once a day, you can select an buff for higher experience from dungeons, from quests and monsters, or additional experience from PvP. It remains active for the next 23h but, if you die, you lose it irreversibly.
Rest EXP - nowhere can you get more rest experience than in your own house. The more items, which increase the comfort, are there, the more additional experience you receive, while away from the game. After you are back, you do not receive it immediately but, you will be able to see it in the bonus for defeating monsters.
Additional Crafting resources- on your property, you can put up a mine, an excavation site, or any other place where, you can obtain resources, without the necessity to explore the entire map.
Challenge sites - on the property, you can also put up sites in which you will, occasionally, be receiving challenges. For completing these challenges, you are rewarded with random rewards, just like in the outside world.
