22 Overview
33  
44 Arches are decorative and structural opening pieces that frame doorways, entryways, and large open wall gaps in masonry-tier construction. Windrose offers roughly 10 arch pieces, primarily in plaster and stone material, that snap into wall openings to give a settlement a finished, classical look.

66 Arches belong to the late-game estate building set rather than the starter shacks. They sit alongside mahogany, stone, and timber pieces in the highest construction tier, and most of the category unlocks together from a single recipe plan looted while exploring rather than being available from the first Bonfire. See Building Pieces for the full category list and tier order.

1313 Estate-Tier Use
1414  
1515 Arches are almost entirely an estate-tier aesthetic. They snap into open wall gaps and pair naturally with Column (Stone) or mahogany pillars to form classical-style entrances. The Columns and Arches plan unlocks most of the category at once, so a single recipe drop opens up arches, half arches, columns, pillars, and beams together.

1717 Beyond entryways, arch and facade pieces double as under-roof decoration: the open cutout tucks cleanly beneath the eave of a 45-degree tile roof, which lets you dress the gable end of a large hall without leaving a blank wall.

2020  
2121 Combine Arch (Plaster) with Column (Stone) for a classical-style entry portico. The pieces snap cleanly when placed side-by-side.Tall Arch (Plaster) is ideal for the great-hall look; budget extra Stone before starting.Semi-Arch pieces fill awkward gaps where a full arch will not fit. Useful for niche shrines and display alcoves.Arches do not replace doors. A door panel must still be placed in any arched doorway that should open and close.
