Freehold buildings
Freehold buildings that can be placed on a freehold plot serve three main purposes.[3][2][4][5][6]
Freehold buildings require blueprints and materials to construct.[3][8]
- Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.[9]
- Some freehold buildings have multiple tiers, with different footprint sizes.[2][10]
- Upgrading a tier will not change the size of the building in terms of footprint, but may increase in height.[10]
- Basements in freehold buildings are to be decided.[11]
Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[3][12][13][14][15]
- Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.[3]
Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.[2][16]
- Freehold skins are applied to blueprints matching the type of building: housing, artisanship, and business.[3][2][17][18][16][19]
- The freehold building blueprints must be obtained in-game first before the cosmetic can be applied.[16][19][18]
- Players are not locked to the racial appearance of a freehold building blueprint.[20]
- The way we look at it is the freehold is your space so we want you to be able to make it look the way you want it to.[16] – Jeffrey Bard
Freehold progression
Freehold progression unlocks new bonuses, abilities and capabilities for freeholds.[21]
- Freehold buildings are able to be levelled up based on the length of time and productivity of the freehold.[21]
- We want there to be progression in many systems and part of the freehold progression is that when you establish these base buildings the longer and more productive you are and exist with that freehold, the more opportunity those buildings will have to both level up: offering new bonuses, new abilities, new capabilities; and just surviving in this world is a feat in and of itself, so it's rewarded by allowing progression with those things.[21] – Steven Sharif
Freehold professions
- Artisan buildings on freeholds enable placement of processing and crafting stations.[4][22]
- Business buildings on freeholds allow freehold owners to provide services to other players.[2]
Player owned businesses
Our business owner system... grants players a meaningful existence in the world and rewards them for their persistence, dedication and survivability.[24] – Steven Sharif
Taverns
The longer a tavern is in business and the more patrons served, the faster the tavern will level up.[25][24]
- Q: What benefits do players receive for taking on the role of a tavern owner?
- A: You will get noticeability with regards to your creations because that will be displayed to the characters that consume those things; but, in addition, you can get certain types of itemization rewards depending on the number of patrons that you serve. You can also reap economic rewards, such as gold from the inn that you are selling your goods at. And then you can unlock access to certain types of recipes and or vendors based on the level of reputation you build up in that particular node.[25] – Steven Sharif
- Taverns have tech trees that allow the tavern owner to specialize and upgrade specific bonuses and services provided by the business.[26][24]

Crowdfunding
Freehold building skins were offered as Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding rewards and were available in pre-order packs.[17][28][29][30][31]
- Freehold building skins can also be achieved in-game.[32]
- Freehold skins can be applied to blueprints matching the type of freehold building: housing, artisanship, and business.[3][32][2][17][18][16][19]
- Cosmetics that we have sold as part of different packs throughout the past- our pre-order system: Those cosmetics are split into three primary categories: housing, artisanship, and business; and we will have a breakdown that we're going to be releasing of the cosmetics that have come previously and which categories they exist in, but players will have the option to override the appearance of a blueprint that exists within one of those categories with an associated cosmetic skin; and that is obviously not just something that can be purchased through the pre-order system, but also can be achieved in-game as well- our cosmetics that can be applied to specific building types. And we don't get as granular where, let's say, you might have a shrine cosmetic, and you have, let's say, a blacksmith building that you wouldn't be able to apply the shrine to the blacksmith building. If the shrine exists in the artisanship lane you can apply it to any artisanship type building, but not to a house or business. so giving a little bit of additional context there.[32] – Steven Sharif
- The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins apply to homestead buildings.[4]
- A planned feature may allow multiple buildings to be replaced by a single large cosmetic skin.[36]
- Cosmetics that are are very large in size- we will have a system that's not been developed yet, but we've been planning for this: we'll have a system where multiple buildings can be occupied space-wise by the larger cosmetic. So, a cosmetic might replace the visual appearance of one particular building, but then you'll be able to have that footprint occupy multiple buildings to replace the visual appearance. So that way you're still utilizing the similar amount of space.[32] – Steven Sharif
- Baronies won't impose any appearance restrictions on freehold buildings.[37]
