Freehold placement

Freehold plots require a bound deed (permit/certificate) from the parent Village (fase 3) or higher node in order to place the plot.[4][1][2][5][6][7]
- Freehold deeds are obtained through completion of a Lord's quest to ascertain worthiness for lordship over an estate.[8][3][1][2][5][6][7]
- That was for a time a lively debate on our design team about whether or not there should be a level gate essentially from even preventing the potential for ownership. The reason why I chose to keep it at level 50 for now is because there are alternate systems that provide access at lower levels through permission setting. So it's one thing to own the home, it's is another thing to access the contents and to continue progression. Let's say, in the processing profession, you might want to gain mastery in: that mastery process leaves the nodes at around level 30 in the leveling experience for a processing profession; and so one of the debates on the design team was whether or not we should reduce the level requirement down to level 30 so that there's a seamless transition from node-based processing progression and the Freehold capability of progression.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Deeds may only be used to place a freehold if the deed holder successfully wins a freehold auction for an estate.[4][12]
- You're going to see a little bit of change and this is one of the first ones: that these are predetermined locations that exist around the node or under its vassal structure that you will have the ability to bid on; and to give you a sense there, this allows us to customize a bit of those predetermined parcels, like a Sherwood Forest type of example.[3] – Steven Sharif
- A deed holder who has won an estate auction may then claim the estate from within a barony in that node's ZOI, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes. Placement of the plot is enabled by using the deed item in a player's inventory to get a top-down view of the estate, then selecting the desired location for the plot.[4][12]
- It'll basically be an item in your bag; and once you get to your parcel, you claim that piece of land and then once it's claimed you'll be able to use the item to go into top-down view and layout actually exactly where your freehold will go on that parcel of land. You'll have a lot of freedom, so a lot that will be going through looking at your whole area of land you now own claim to and then deciding where the best spot to put your freehold in there would be.[12] – Kory Rice
- Freehold plots must not be placed in close proximity to any of the following:[4][17][18][12][3][2][5][19][7]
- Collections of freeholds placed in close proximity are still considered part of their parent node and do not become a separate node, other than via roleplay.[28]
- Adjacent freeholds do not share any bonuses with their neighbors, but guild halls owned by partron guilds may confer benefits to surrounding freeholds.[29][23]
Baronies
Baronies are large designated swaths of land in the ZOI of a Village (fase 3) or above node, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes.[4][17][18][3][2][5]
- Baronies contain parcels of land, called estates, that are reserved specifically for the freehold and guild hall systems.[4]
- A barony can only have a single guild hall.[4] The number of baronies that can have an active guild hall is determined by the node's stage.[30][31]
- Guild halls are not able to impose any taxes on freeholds within a barony.[32]
- Guild halls owned by partron guilds may have the ability to confer benefits to surrounding estates by speccing into passives in their guild skill tree and carrying out a lengthy quest line.[29]
- Each zone of influence in the world has designated large swaths of land that act as these parcels that can be catered to specific points of interest or thematically relevant; and you might want to bid on that almost county-sized area, where you then get to place your freehold. And once you have bid on that area at the node, then you can acquire the freehold plot and you go out into that zone- that section that you have bid on and acquired, and you place your freehold footprint, which previously we had set the freehold size to about a half an acre; however recently that's changed, well not recently a while ago that changed, to be one and a half acres or roughly 100 by 60.[18] – Steven Sharif
- Players obtain freehold deeds by completing a quest then winning a freehold auction at the parent node. These deeds enable the player to claim a freehold plot in a specific estate.[4][18][3][1][2][5][6][7]
- Imagine the parcel as more like a county that exists around the node; and so if you have a node in the center and you have its zone of influence around it, that's a mass group of land. And then, if you were to take a county line marker and create counties around essentially the node, that is what you would be bidding on. And then once you've achieved the parcel's certificate for that county, then you go out with your... footprint of your freehold, and you get to place the freehold within that county wherever you want- that's not obstructed by some other, road, or POI, or very large feature terrain.[17] – Steven Sharif
- Placement of the freehold plot is enabled by using an unplaced freehold deed item from the player's inventory to get a top-down view of the estate, then selecting the desired location for the plot.[4][12]
- There is a minimum distance between Baronies in addition to the minimum distance between freehold plots.[23]
- Baronies don't impose any appearance restrictions on freehold buildings.[33]
