11 Overview
22  
33  
44 Home Building is a lifestyle system in Honor of Kings: World that gives every player a personal homestead in the open world. Unlike instanced housing in many other RPGs, your home exists directly in the game world; you walk into the housing area and it loads seamlessly without a loading screen or teleport transition. The system launched alongside the game on April 10, 2026, and is accessible from early progression onward. Housing integrates tightly with farming, pets, cooking, and the game's social systems, providing a self-contained loop where you grow crops, sell harvests for currency, buy furniture, and invite friends to visit your land.

66 Players receive four areas (plots of land) in total. Each area is a square section of terrain that can be customized with buildings, furniture, farming plots, incubators, and decorations. New areas unlock as your housing level increases, with the final fourth area unlocking at housing level 22.

88 Getting Started
99  
1010 After completing the introductory main story quests that unlock the housing system, you gain access to your first area of land. A teleport point is placed on your homestead by default, allowing you to return home at any time. You can also press 5 to open the Build Menu, which is the primary interface for placing, moving, and removing objects on your land.
1111  
1212 The Build Menu lets you pick up items, rotate them, place new structures, and take apart existing ones. Every piece of furniture and every building can be freely repositioned anywhere within the boundaries of your plot. There is no grid snapping requirement; placement is freeform within the area's borders.
1313  
1414 Housing Levels
1515  
1616 Your homestead has a dedicated leveling system ranging from level 1 to level 40. Gaining housing levels unlocks new areas, furniture blueprints, crop seeds, features, and rewards. Leveling up triggers short tutorials that introduce each new mechanic as it becomes available.

1919 Each level grants a mix of new seeds, furniture recipes, and feature unlocks. The progression is designed to introduce systems gradually so that new players are not overwhelmed by the full scope of the housing loop on their first visit.

2121 Farming and Crop Planting
2222  
2323 Farming is the core economic engine of the housing system. Your land includes dedicated planting plots where you can sow various crops. Each crop type has its own grow cycle, and once a crop finishes growing, you harvest it manually or let your pet assist with maintenance.
2424  
2525 Grow CycleDescription5 hoursQuick-growth crops for frequent harvesting sessions. Ideal for active players who check in multiple times per day.16 hoursMedium-cycle crops that align roughly with an overnight or daytime away-from-keyboard window.20 hoursLong-cycle crops that yield higher value per harvest. Best for players who log in once daily.
2626 Crops need watering to grow properly. You can water them yourself, but if you have a fed pet on your homestead, the pet will automatically water your plants for you. Friends who visit your land can also water your crops, and doing so earns them a small amount of housing currency.
2727  
2828 Incubators and Herb Cultivation
2929  
3030 Incubators are specialized growing stations that cultivate herbs rather than food crops. Herbs operate on a 20-hour growth cycle and produce ingredients used at the Medicine Stand. Unlike standard farming plots, incubators occupy a fixed footprint and cannot be freely repositioned in the same way as furniture. They unlock at higher housing levels and expand the crafting loop by feeding into the potion-making system.
3131  
3232 Medicine Stand
3333  
3434 The Medicine Stand is a crafting station placed on your homestead that lets you brew potions and consumables from herbs grown in your incubators. This ties the housing system directly into the combat loop: grow herbs at home, craft potions, and bring them into dungeons and boss fights. The Medicine Stand becomes available as a housing-level unlock and provides an alternative source of healing and buff items alongside the cooking system.
3535  
3636 Vegetable Stall
3737  
3838 The Vegetable Stall is where you convert harvested crops into housing currency. After collecting your yields from the farming plots, you bring them to the stall and sell them. The currency earned is used exclusively within the housing system to purchase furniture, building materials, house presets, and decorations from the in-game store.
3939  
4040 This creates a self-sustaining economy: plant crops, harvest them, sell at the stall, spend the currency on furniture and new seeds, and repeat. Players who engage with farming regularly will accumulate enough currency to afford full house presets and premium furniture sets over time.
4141  
4242 Personal Fishing Lake
4343  
4444 Each homestead includes a personal fishing lake where you can fish without leaving your housing area. Fishing at home follows the same mechanics as fishing in the open world, and the catches can be used for cooking recipes or sold for additional income. The fishing lake provides a relaxing side activity and ensures that players who prefer to stay on their homestead still have access to fishing content.
4545  
4646 Build Menu and Furniture Placement
4747  
4848 Pressing 5 opens the Build Menu, which is the main interface for all construction and decoration on your land. From this menu you can place new furniture, move existing items, take structures apart, and rotate objects freely. The system supports freeform placement within each area's boundaries, so you are not locked into a grid or predefined slots.
4949  
5050 The furniture catalog is extensive, covering categories such as weapon stands, crafting stations, tables, chairs, fences, lighting fixtures, garden decorations, and more. New furniture blueprints unlock as your housing level increases, and additional pieces can be purchased from the store using housing currency earned at the Vegetable Stall.
5151  
5252 Store Presets
5353  
5454 The housing store offers pre-made house templates called presets. Each preset is a complete themed layout that includes a house structure, furniture arrangement, and decorations. You can preview any preset before purchasing to see exactly how it will look on your land.
5555  
5656 Presets cost housing currency, with full templates running around 232,000 currency for a complete setup. Available preset themes include the Farmstead, Scholar, Street Violet Villa, and various others that unlock at higher housing levels. Purchasing a preset places the entire layout onto one of your four areas, though you can still move and customize individual pieces afterward.

5959 Each of the four areas on your land can use a different preset theme, so you can mix and match styles across your homestead. For example, one area might be a working farm while another is styled as a scholar's library.
6060  
6161 Pet Integration
6262  
6363 The pet system is deeply woven into the housing loop. Pets live on your homestead and provide several automated services when they are fed and active.
6464  
6565 Automatic Watering: Fed pets water your crops automatically, removing the need to manually tend every planting plot.Field Watcher: Your pet acts as a Field Watcher that guards your crops from visitors who try to steal your harvests. If a visitor attempts to take your crops, the pet kicks them out.Pet Dispatch: You can send pets on exploration missions called Pet Dispatch. These missions run on a timer, and when the pet returns, it brings back extra recipes, crafting materials, and other items. See the Pets article for full dispatch details.
6666  
6767 Keeping your pet fed is essential. An unfed pet will not water plants, guard crops, or perform dispatch missions. The feeding mechanic ensures that players regularly interact with their pet rather than setting it up once and forgetting about it.
6868  
6969 Social Features
7070  
7171 Housing in Honor of Kings: World has a robust set of social features that encourage players to visit each other's homesteads. Pressing 8 opens the friends list with a housing tab that lets you see which friends are online and teleport directly to their land.
7272  
7373 FeatureDescriptionVisit FriendsTeleport to any friend's homestead by pressing 8 and selecting their name from the housing list.Water Friends' CropsWater your friends' plants to help them grow. You earn a small amount of housing currency coins for each watering action.Steal HarvestsAttempt to harvest crops from a friend's land. If their pet is active and fed, the Field Watcher pet will kick you out before you can take anything.Pray for CropsPray over a friend's crops to double their yield. For example, a sunflower plot at 5/5 yield becomes 15/15 after a prayer blessing.Leave MessagesWrite and leave messages on a friend's homestead for them to read later.Visitor LogsCheck a log of who has visited your land, including whether they watered, stole, or prayed for your crops.Stranger VisitsPlayers who are not on your friend list can also visit your homestead, though they have more limited interaction options.
7474 The steal-and-guard dynamic adds a lighthearted competitive layer to housing. Friends can try to sneak crops from your farm, but a well-fed pet will chase them away. The prayer system is purely cooperative, letting friends help each other maximize crop yields at no cost.
7575  
7676 Area Themes and Customization
7777  
7878 Each of the four areas can be customized with a different theme or preset. Beyond the store presets, you can manually build and arrange each area to match your preferences. Some players create a dedicated farming area on one plot, a social gathering space on another, a PvP practice arena on a third, and a scenic nature area on the fourth. The system is flexible enough to support purely functional layouts, purely decorative shows, or anything in between.
7979  
8080 Housing Economy Loop
8181  
8282 The housing system operates on a self-contained economy that feeds back into the broader game.
8383  
8484 Plant crops on your farming plots (5-hour, 16-hour, or 20-hour grow cycles).Water and tend the crops yourself, or let your pet handle watering automatically.Harvest yields once the crops finish growing.Sell at the Vegetable Stall to earn housing currency.Buy furniture, presets, and materials from the housing store using that currency.Grow herbs in incubators and craft potions at the Medicine Stand for combat use.Send pets on dispatch missions for extra recipes and materials that feed back into crafting.
8585  
8686 Because the housing currency is earned through gameplay rather than premium purchases, the progression is accessible to all players. The system rewards daily engagement: logging in to harvest crops, sell at the stall, and send pets on dispatch builds up your homestead over time without requiring marathon play sessions.
8787  
8888 Tips
8989  
9090 Feed your pet before logging off so it waters your crops while you are away.Use the 5-hour crop cycle if you play multiple sessions per day; use the 20-hour cycle if you only log in once daily.Visit friends' homesteads and water their crops to earn free housing currency.Preview store presets before buying them to make sure the theme fits the area you want to decorate.Check your Visitor Log regularly to see if anyone has been stealing your harvests, and make sure your pet is fed to prevent theft.Pray for friends' crops whenever possible; doubling their yield costs you nothing and strengthens your social bonds.Set up your teleport point at home so you can return quickly between dungeon runs or exploration sessions.

9292 Pets Living in Your Home
9393  
9494 Your home plot is also where your pets live. Cats are one of the confirmed pet types that can physically inhabit your house: they wander the rooms, interact with furniture, and stay around between sessions. Pets are not purely a pickable companion stat sheet. They are a part of the home life-sim loop, and you feed and care for them as an everyday activity rather than a one-off training screen.
9595  
9696 Care includes feeding and paying attention to your pet on a regular cadence. A well-cared-for pet reflects the state of your home: an engaged household with happy pets, stocked food, and clean spaces is part of how the game tells you that you are keeping up with the life-sim layer. It is also a visible signal to any friends who visit your plot.
9797  
9898 Farming and Growing Crops on Your Property
9999  
100100 Beyond decoration and pet care, your home plot is a working farm. You can till farming plots, plant seeds, and grow crops as a steady source of income and crafting materials. Farming runs on its own daily cadence separate from combat progression: crops take time to mature, they need watering and attention, and each planting decision is a small bet on what you will want in a couple of days. This is the loop that keeps the life-sim side of the game running alongside the combat side.
101101  
102102 Farming feeds into the rest of the home economy, including the shops, incubators, and resources covered in earlier sections of this page, and it overlaps with the pets automation tools that can water fields on your behalf when you are offline.
103103  
104104 Friends: Visit, Help, or Steal
105105  
106106 Other players can visit your home plot, and you can visit theirs. What they do once they are inside is where the social layer opens up. Visiting friends can help your farm: watering your crops, helping plots grow faster, and speeding up your overall farming cycle. Friends can also steal your crops. Crop theft is not a bug or a grief hole, it is a deliberate part of the social friction that makes the farm loop feel alive. A friend dropping by to grab a few of your fruits is part of the texture of the neighborhood.
107107  
108108 This combination of helping and stealing keeps the home plot from feeling like a single-player museum. You decorate for yourself, but your plot also becomes a shared space that your friends and guildmates interact with. Check the multiplayer page for how friends appear as blue silhouettes in the world and how the invite loop brings them physically into your home.
109109  
110110 Extensive Decoration
111111  
112112 Decoration depth in Honor of Kings: World is deliberately deep. Beyond the furniture lists and presets covered above, the game supports a wide range of placement, theming, and customization choices so that two players of the same housing level can end up with wildly different homes. Decoration is not just a cosmetic afterthought, it is a visible expression of the time you have spent in the life-sim systems and the social status you project when friends and strangers walk through your door.
113113  
114114 Feed your pet. Make pet care part of your daily hub-return routine, not a forgotten window.Rotate your crops. Plant a mix of short and long cycle crops to smooth out your daily yield.Lock down visits. Decide which friends can visit freely. If you care about crop theft, farm around trusted houses.Show off. Host friends in a themed home once it is built out. The space reads as a statement once it is fully decorated.
