Revision 5

Baluster (Mahogany) is a wooden upright spindle used to fill the gap beneath a Handrails run, the small posts that sit between the rail and the step. Balusters are the safety railings placed along stairs, balconies, and elevated platforms, and the mahogany version matches timber-tier structures. It is taught by Plans: Mahogany Staircases and Railings, the same plan that unlocks the matching mahogany stairs and rails.

Building And Placement

Like every snap-together piece in Windrose, this part is placed from the build menu as a silhouette preview that locks onto compatible Building Pieces before you spend any materials, so you can line it up exactly before committing. It is part of the wider Base Building system, where structures must sit inside a settlement's bonfire radius to stay functional.

Demolishing a placed piece refunds 100% of its construction cost, so swapping a Wood version for a higher tier later carries no material penalty beyond the time to rebuild. Higher material tiers unlock as you explore new islands and recover recipe plans from points of interest.

Related Building Pieces

Baluster (Mahogany) belongs to the Handrails family. The table below lists the other handrail variants and their build costs so you can pick a matching set.

Pair balusters with the stairs from the same plan, Stairs (Mahogany) and Corner Stairs (Mahogany), for a complete mahogany staircase.

Progression Notes

Baluster (Mahogany) is part of the building progression: craft it from a workbench once the listed plan is unlocked, using the materials in the build cost table above. Demolish it any time for a full material refund if you decide to rebuild in a different tier or location.
