Houses

Houses are the centerpiece of your daily life in the Black Desert world.


While it serves various functions, houses can also show off your creativity and style.


A house is considered as an individual space separate from the common game areas, and it is possible for each Adventurer to each own all houses in the world. If you have the money, you could have hundreds of houses (however, the number of houses available for residential purposes are limited).


Houses are mainly used for production activities, however, you can use them for different purposes. Its interior can be decorated with wallpapers and furniture, and it can be a place where you can play with your pets. You can take a rest in your house, repair it yourself, or read books. You can also host your friends and guild members.


Buying and Selling Houses

Open the World Map and click on a town to view the houses available for purchase.


You can identify the houses you can buy easily because they are colored in blue.

Once you buy a house, adjacent houses become available for purchase, and the list of houses available for purchase becomes larger.

In simpler terms, if you want to buy a gray house instead of a blue one, you must buy adjacent houses first.


You need to spend contribution points to purchase a house. The larger and more functional the house is, the more contribution points will be needed.

Therefore, you may want to check the strategic value of a house before you decide to buy it.


You can sell houses at any time to retrieve the contribution points you invested, but you won’t receive the time and silver invested on improving the house and changing its functions..


▲ The houses in blue are available for purchase immediately.

In order to buy a gray house, you must buy all adjacent houses first.


Setting up House Function (Usage)

You must assign a usage when you purchase a house. If you don’t select one, the house will automatically be assigned as storage.
