Revision 6

Baluster (Stone) is a stone upright spindle used to fill the gap beneath a Handrails run, the short posts that sit between the rail and the step. Balusters are the safety railings placed along stairs, balconies, and elevated platforms, and the stone version matches masonry-tier structures. It shares the same build time and 750 Max Health as the wooden baluster but is crafted from Stone instead of Wood.

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 Stone 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 (Stone) belongs to the Handrails family. The table below lists the other handrail variants and their build costs so you can match a railing set to your structure.

Stone balusters sit well alongside stone stairs such as Stairs (Stone) and Corner Stairs (Stone) for a consistent masonry look.

Progression Notes

Baluster (Stone) 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.
