Pre-introduction Guide of Homestead System — Where Winds Meet Building Guide

This guide was written before the Homestead update launched. For up-to-date tips and post-release information, see the Homestead v1.8 — what you need to know guide.

The first city to receive this system will be Qinghe

In the future, we will also receive an extension of this system for the Invisible Mountain location.

🔰 Types of currency for which you can purchase building materials and how to obtain them:

🍈 One of the most important currencies, melons, for them you can buy a large number of various furniture in the store, as well as seeds, buildings and books to upgrade your workers.

How do I get them?

There are several ways, here are the main ones that will be available to you and bring you a good profit:

🍈 Weekly cargo tasks in which you give away the collected resources and cooked meals

🍈 Achievement system

🍈 From the constant sale of food and wine in your tavern

🍈 By selling excess materials to a trader

🪵 The next currency is ordinary logs, for which you can buy structural units (they are already available for construction in the guild)

🪵 You can also just chop bamboo as before

🪵 You will also send workers to collect resources and receive a lot of materials every day (this is the best option)

💚 Green drops that are used to purchase unique items

💚 They are obtained by growing vegetables in the garden beds.

🌾 Another currency that is used in homestead is wheat

🌾 This material can be obtained by completing weekly cargo

🌾There are also weekly quests.

🌾 Achievements

🔰What kind of workers are they and what are they for?

In order for any of your businesses to work or in order to gather resources, you need employees, often with specific skills.

In order to unlock skills and raise the level of workers, books are needed, which are redeemed weekly in the store.

You also get them for weekly quests/homestead activities.

🔰 How do I get more workers?

You need to go to the workers menu, find the ”+” and click on it, then select the NPC you are interested in and follow further instructions, there may be conditions for hiring or just a conversation.

To begin with, I suggest that you allocate a place on your island (it will probably be more convenient to place new stoves or stoves with tables, because everything will be in one place, then you may need to place production in other locations, but I’m not sure about this information, since I did everything only on the island and that was enough for my needs).
Don’t forget to put up beds for your employees, because without them you won’t be able to hire new ones.

Each type of production will have its own decorative elements, such as a large oven or stove, tables for visitors, and flower beds.

First, you need to hire workers and allocate them to resource extraction.

At the same time, purchase seeds and plant plants that will be useful to you for meals or drinks.

In pottery, you need to set up the production of wine jugs.

You also need to decide on a set of dishes that you will cook and sell (as well as deliver to cargo).

In the same tab, you can switch to the tavern’s assortment and provide waiters with created dishes and drinks.

This is the whole production, then you will only need to raise the level of the homestead system in order to expand the business and the range of furniture in the store.

The maximum level is 10

🔰 In order to upgrade the homestead system level, you need to:

increase the level of production elements (pottery, kitchen, etc.)
increase the level of prosperity (build buildings or place furniture on the island or in places where this system is available)
collect enough 🍈**melons **

Some of these mechanics will most likely be described in the quests that will accompany this new type of gameplay, so my guide is just for a first introduction so you know what to expect.

End.
