Homestead Basics

The Homestead is account-wide and works in parallel with your character's active skill timer. Use it as a steady background loop rather than waiting on it before gathering, crafting, or combat.

• Plant crops before leaving for a longer gathering, crafting, or combat session.
• Use crop pages to compare grow time, yield, XP, and compost-adjusted timers.
• Queue station jobs whenever their outputs support your current goal.
• Collect station outputs with the character that should receive the items and XP.
• Expand farm plots when the extra parallel capacity is worth more than the listed materials.

The Homestead has seven stations covering farming, cooking, smelting, and item quality. Use the Stations Guide to choose what to build next; each generated station page lists its exact requirements, costs, recipes, and outputs. Shared Storage moves ordinary items and unequipped quality equipment between characters; equipped gear must be unequipped first.
