Lot
A lot (also known as a property) is a portion of land or water within a town on which a Property Marker has been placed.
These lots can be claimed by players using an appropriately sized Lot Deed (certain restrictions apply). After a player has claimed the lot, they can place Decorations on it.
- For details on claiming a lot and placing a house on a lot, see Lot Deed.
- For details on placing a basement on a lot, see Basement.
- For details on placing a dungeon on a lot, see Player Dungeon.
- For details on decorating a lot, see Decoration.
There are several lot sizes (listed from smallest to largest):
Finding an Available (Unclaimed) Lot
When in a scene with player lots, you can identify available lots by the following methods:
- Ask town criers or guards - if you ask “how many houses are free?”, they will respond by displaying a list of all lots in the scene and whether each lot is owned by someone or if it is unclaimed. This listing allows you to set a compass waypoint to any specific lot.
- Holding down the P key - this will send out a visual “flare” beacon from any available lots nearby.
- Double-click on a Propery Marker - the property marker window that pops up will state "unclaimed" if the lot is available.
Scenes that Have Lots
Each Holdfast, Village, Town, City, or Metropolis in the game will have a mix of lot sizes available.
The larger the habitation, the larger the number of lots and the greater percentage of bigger lots available. For example, a Metropolis will have the greatest number of lots and the highest percentage of City-sized lots[1].
Additional Information
Town Criers may also bind you to a town on request, which sets that town as your Recall point for Recall scrolls. This can be handy if you do not own a lot to bind to.
