So i made a guide about the new feature "Homestead" for my faction, but thought it might come in handy for others as well so here you go.
- I tried to collect some infos on my own in game and made several researches in our PWI forum.
Since that feature is also new for me i can not fully ensure that everything is right. so feel free to comment if i explained anything wrong or if you want to add anything

As soon you fulfill the mentioned requirements you will receive a Pop-Up.
Follow the questline and you will be ported to your homestead at the end of the chain.
[
: At the beginning of the chain you got to kill a Sigil Dragon, fly around and find the blue/silver dragons, NOT the golden one where your quest tracker leads you to at first]
First Steps in my homestead:There is a small in game introduction that leads you quick through the first steps to place your buildings and the interface, i will try to explain here a little more in detail for what your buildings are actually used.
Farm/Ranch
Your can earn Cerise Gems and experience for your homestead with your Fragrance Garden & Charger's Paradise.
You need Cerise Gems to maintain your homes cleanness and to activate resources production.
You have to buy seeds and animals in Archosaur West at NPC Vyn Ren, the Trainer (522. 659) or get high level seeds/animals in Uncharted Paradise Instance.
In your garden you will have to seed plants to receive Cerise Gems.
You can choose between 3 basic seeds.
- Wheat > 1 hour growth time (8.400 coins/seed)
- Peppers > 4 hours growth time (33.600 coins/seed)
- Pumpkins > 12 hours growth time (100.800 coins/seed)
Harvesting those plants will award you also with experience for your homestead. The shorter the growth time of your plants, the better is your experience income, but it also requires more work like that.
If you upgrade your garden, you will receive more experience and cerise gems over time.
Here you can place animals to receive Cerise Gems.
You can choose again between 3 basic animals.
- Baby Bunny > 1 hour growth time (10.500 coins/animal)
- Pheasant Chicks > 4 hours growth time (42.000 coins/animal)
- Baby Goats > 12 hours growth time (126.000 coins/animal)
Harvesting those animals will award you also with experience for your homestead. The shorter the growth time of your animals, the better is your experience income, but it also requires more work like that.
If you upgrade your Charger's Paradise, you will receive more experience and cerise gems over time.
Resources Production
You have 4 Workshops/Gallery's to produce new resources.
Jewel Gallery - Void Workshop - Fashion Gallery - Curio Gallery
You have to fill up those workshops with Cerise Gems in order to make them start working.
You can add gems manually or fill them up instantly.
You have to empty your stock regularly, click on the collect button for it.
If your timer hits 0 hours, or if your stock reached its max limit the production will stop
In your Jewel Gallery you produce Jadestones.
In your Void Workshop you produce the material Deity Wood.
In your Fashion Gallery you produce Brocade.
In your Curio Gallery you produce Transition Crystals.
Make sure to ugrade your workshops.
Each upgrade will need different amounts of resources and cerise gem and will consume coins.
Upgrading will increase the production amount of resources over time and your resources stock.
Item Production
Your Wonder Market and Heavenly Creation Shop are used to craft items like trees, buildings, furniture and so much more.
You can open your Codex to find the list of available items and to find out the requirement for those items.
Crafting items will consume energy and resources, most recipes are limited aswell.
Every day you can complete a daily task/quest on your buildings to earn new recipes.
In your Wonder Market you can only craft items for yourself.
You can craft trees, flowers and trophys here.
The higher your wonder market the more different daily quests u can receive for it.
Example:
Open your Quest tab > Delivery.
You will find a red quest called Gardening Manual Page.
Accept the quest and you will receive the page in your inventory, open the delivery quest tab again.
If your wonder market is upgraded you will find a list of possible quests, if it only has the basic level you just have to pick it.
Read the quest info before picking one, it lists the possible recipes you can get with it, check in Codex if u are unsure how the items look like. [Nature> Tree - Flower]
To complete the quest you will most likely try to find a hermit, they are hidden all over the open world map in pwi.
Merchants in small villages will give you 1 free echo item, that will give 1 random hint about one of the many npcs. Ask in world/faction chat or friends if you cant find the hidden NPC.
In order to get Trophy recipes, you have to buy Basic Trophy Chests in Archosaur West at Vyn Ren, the Trainer (522. 659). You can combine those chests for higher grade trophy recipes.
Heavenly Creation WorkshopHere you can craft items for yourself and other people can visit your home to craft items if you set a contract free.
Basic Recipes:At the beginning you will receive basic recipes from your quest, but you can also obtain more from a Merchant in small villages.
The Merchant sells Residence > Building recipes for different prices and Generic Design Pack: Basic (105.000 each), those packs will grant you 1 random recipe, so you have to try your luck.
As soon your homestead reaches level 4 you can upgrade your Heavenly Creation Workshop for the first time. At this point you will have to choose a mastery of four.
You can have only one mastery at the time, so choose one you like. It is possible to reset the mastery, but as soon you do that you will loose your already learned mastery recipes.
You can choose between four masterys:
- Construction
- Decoration
- Furnishing
- Handcraft
Once you did choose your mastery you will receive every day a new quest for new recipes based on your learned mastery.
After picking your workshop quest you may be ported out of your homestead, make sure you will NOT afk, the quest acception will be timed and is really short like 30 seconds. People with latency problems reported already that the quest failed and you can not redo it, so pay attention here. Walk to your NPC, deliver the quest, port back asap to your home and finish the quest in your questlog.!
If you upgrade your workshop you may receive different tasks in your quest.
Metal Elementalist ~ Forest of Haze (690. 493)
Wood Elementalist ~ Broken Plain (363. 894)
Water Elementalist ~ Icespine Pass (470. 285)
Earth Elementalist ~ Land of Buried Bones (130. 415)
Fire Elementalist ~ Land of the Burning Heart (131. 782)
You can set up contracts, means you offer people to craft items on your homestead and receive money for it.
You (Vendor) provide Energy Costs + the recipe.
The Customer will use his own resources + pay the price you set + fee it costs to craft the item.
Once you set up a contract your required energy will be locked down > you can not use it unless you cancel the contract.
Make sure you do not forbid people to enter your homestead if you want to sell items to random people, they need to visit your buildings in order to craft it.
You can control that way if you want to give a friend some free/cheap goods as well, just change your settings as it pleases.
