Deeding and Settlement Costs
Cost Overview
Deed tiles make up the size of your deed. Perimeter tiles are an extra boundary surrounding your deed tiles, which is a buffer zone where non-citizens cannot build and things decay faster.
- Deed Tile Purchase = The one time purchase of deed tiles.
- Perimeter Purchase = The one time purchase of perimeter tiles, which surround the deed tiles.
| Deed Tile Purchase | Perimeter Tile Purchase |
|---|---|
| 1c per tile | 50i per tile |
Overall cost will include 3 months of upkeep, which is deposited into your settlement's upkeep upon purchase.
- Deed Tile Upkeep = Monthly upkeep cost of deed tiles.
- Perimeter Upkeep = Monthly upkeep cost of perimeter tiles, which surround the deed tiles.
| Deed Tile Upkeep | Perimeter Tile Upkeep |
|---|---|
| 20i per tile | 5i per tile |
Configurations
Default Minimal Deed Configuration
Costs the least, but does not give you maximum tiles for the money. This configuration does not include optional costs like guards or additional perimeter. Since upkeep minimum is 1s per month, it doesn't make sense to use this configuration as you're not getting the maximum tiles for the money.
| N,E,S,W Setting | Size | Number of Tiles | Tile Purchase Price | Upkeep | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5x5x5x5 | 11×11 | 121 | 1s 21c | 3s (1s x 3) | 4s 21c |
Minimal Configuration 1
Costs more initially, but gives you more tiles for the same 1s upkeep. The actual 96c 60i upkeep is rounded up to 1s since upkeep cannot be below the 1s minimum. This configuration does not include optional costs like guards or additional perimeter.
| N,E,S,W Setting | Size | Number of Tiles | Tile Purchase Price | Upkeep | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10x11x11 | 21×23 | 483 | 4s 83c | 3s upfront, 1s thereafter (96c 60i rounded up) | 7s 83c |
Minimal Configuration 2 (Suggested)
Costs the most initially, but you gain even more tiles by adding 1 to one of the directions, which puts the monthly upkeep slightly over 1s at 1s 1c 20i. For the 3 month upkeep cost upfront the 1s 1c 20i is rounded down to 1s (because it is below a certain unknown threshold), but subsequent monthly upkeep for the settlement will be the actual 1s 1c 20i—a slight increase for 23 more tiles. This configuration does not include optional costs like guards or additional perimeter.
| N,E,S,W Setting | Size | Number of Tiles | Tile Purchase Price | Upkeep | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10x11x11x11 | 22×23 | 506 | 5s 6c | 3s upfront, 1s 1c 20i thereafter (1s 1c 20i rounded down) | 8s 6c |
NOTE: It doesn't matter where you use the 10 and 11's, as long as you have one 10 and three 11's in the N, E, S, W setting.
Things To Know
- All deeds get a free 5 tile perimeter.
- Decay sets in when upkeep drops below 30 days (Mythmoor).
- The settlement guard setting defaults to 1. If you do not set guards to 0 when deeding, you will be charged 2s per guard to purchase them and 1s per guard after. Settlement guards are not necessary on the Prime map. Find a place that already has a guard tower, or build one. Tower guards are not strong enough to kill high end mobs on Plains and Northlands, neither are settlement guards, but they can still be useful for offloading mob aggro during the fight, or to escape.
