11Housing is not an optional side system in Soulbound: Online. Every player is given an apartment as part of the game, and it is where your crafting stations live, where offline production happens, and where a good deal of the player economy is transacted. The apartment you start with sits in Virelda and is entered through a keypad beside the door.22Sizes44Apartments come in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Penthouse. Size decides how much room you have to build inside, and which rentable overworld locations the apartment can be attached to. Most players hold a Small apartment for a long time, because almost every rentable door in the world is specified for one.66Who Gets In88Access is set per apartment, and the four tiers are worth understanding before you start storing anything valuable or running a shop.1010SettingWho Can EnterClosedNobody but you.WhitelistOnly the specific players you name.FriendsAnyone on your friends list.OpenAnyone at all.1212Visitors get in either by walking through the entrance or by entering the keypad code. Opening a city apartment to the public is a deliberate design choice rather than a risk: it is how players run shops, and the studio has said a roadmap goal is to let other players pay to use your stations, generating income while you are offline.1313Furnishing And The Room Editor1515Inside, an apartment is decorated with furniture and fitted with stations. Furnishings are bought at the Yoku Forge in Arcadia and crafted at your own benches, and a room-layout editor handles the arrangement. Add-on modules sit alongside the furniture and change what a station can do, adding crafting slots, cutting craft times or unlocking recipes it would not otherwise carry. The studio has also said furniture that grants stat bonuses, and station cosmetics, are planned for later in Early Access rather than shipped today.1717One rule is worth reading before you move: giving up an apartment removes all of its furniture and stations, including the experience those stations have accumulated. If the apartment has a rented plot attached at the time, that lease transfers to whoever takes the place next.1919Renting A Door In The World2121An apartment can also be attached to a rentable location, which is a real door out in the overworld rather than only a keypad entrance. That gives your home a street presence, which matters if you intend to trade. There are thirty-six of these doors across the world, and four of them come with a farming plot attached.2324ZoneRentable DoorsVirelda24Arcadia City5Neo-Tilus4Farpoint Rift32526An unrented door carries an Open tag. Activating it brings up the rental panel, which checks three things: that you have an unassigned apartment of the right size, that you meet the location's skill requirements, and that you can pay. Thirty-four of the thirty-six locations want a Small apartment; the two exceptions sit in Neo-Tilus and accept any size.2627Rent Terms2829Rent is quoted per day but charged up front for a whole term, and you choose between a seven-day and a twenty-eight-day term from a dropdown. The total is simply the daily rate multiplied by the days. Virelda locations charge materials as well as gold; one Virelda door, for example, is listed at twenty-five gold plus ten copper ore per day, which works out at a hundred and seventy-five gold plus seventy ore for a week.3031Auto-renew can be switched on so the rent comes out automatically at the end of a term, and you can rename the nameplate on the door. If a lease lapses there is a short grace period before the location is released, and once a door is given up there is a cooldown measured in hours before that same door can be rented again.3233Why It Is Worth The Gold3435An apartment is the engine room of your character. Production continues while you are logged off, so a well-fitted base turns time away from the game into gear and materials. Rentable stations and farming plots generate gold, apartment ownership feeds into the Teshimi VIP area in Arcadia, and guild bases, which turn an apartment into a shared physical location in the world, are on the studio's published plan rather than in the build.3637Rents, sizes and location requirements are being tuned during Early Access, so treat specific numbers as current rather than permanent.
