Windrose offers 21 stair pieces including straight stairs, corner stairs, spiral stairs, and pier stairs, each in multiple material tiers.

The cheapest tiers use Plant Fiber or Wood, while the estate-grade tiers consume Stone. Each piece previews as a silhouette before placement, and dismantling a placed stair returns 100% of its materials, so you can re-shape a stairwell freely while iterating on a floor plan.17171818Tips19192020Spiral stairs fit in a 2x2 footprint and are ideal for towers. Choose Left or Right based on which direction you want players to turn when ascending.Plank Stairs are the cheapest option; one full staircase costs Wood x10 or less.Corner Stairs save floor space in tight layouts. They cost more than straight stairs but replace two pieces with one.Add a Fence or Rope Railings along the open side of an upper-floor landing to avoid falling.Stone stairs match Stone walls cleanly. Keep material tiers consistent for a unified estate look.21212222See Also23232424Base BuildingSettlement BuildingBuilding PiecesFencesRampsPillars and Beams25252626Variants27272828A complete list of Stairs variants in Windrose is shown below, with thumbnail, build cost, and comfort bonus for each entry.
