Homestead Guide
Homestead is a base-building and player housing system where players can design, customize, and share their Homestead with others. It functions as a social hub, offering a space for creativity and interaction alongside the game’s auto-chess–style gameplay.
Buildings
This gamemode offers a wide variety of buildings, including crop and material harvesters, processors that refine or produce products from those resources, and miscellaneous structures with unique functions.
Harvesters
- Mills and Fields - Used to grow a wide variety of crops, each with different growth times before they are ready to be harvested.
- Mines - Used to harvest Raw Ore.
- Logging Site - Used to harvest Logs.
- Elemental Altar - Used to harvest Leyline Essences.
Processors
- Refiners
- Lumbermill - Used to process Logs into various materials.
- Ore Refinery - Used to process Raw Ore into various materials.
- Essence Crucible - Used to process Leyline Essences into various materials.
- Producers
- Kitchen - Used to create products from crops grown in the Fields and materials processed by the Lumbermill.
- Alchemy Workshop - Used to create products from Leyline Essences and materials processed by the Lumbermill, Ore Refinery and Essence Crucible.
- Forge - Used to create products from Raw Ore harvested from the Mine and materials processed by the Lumbermill
Note: Creating products from these producers consumes stamina. You regain stamina daily, and you can also earn more by completing Request Daily Rewards, or Homestead Quests.
Miscellaneous
- Radiant Spire/Divine Shard - The heart of your Homestead, primarily upgraded to unlock access to additional buildings.
- Gate of Avalon - Used to allow visitors on your Homestead.
- Home Cairn - Used by visitors to leave messages on your Homestead.
- Treasure Chest - Used for collecting AFK Rewards while inside your Homestead.
- Dream Pavilion - Used to collect additional Homestead resources each day.
- Decor Workshop - Used for creating decorations from your homestead in exchange for resources.
- Decorations - Used to customize the appearance of your Homestead and have no important functional purpose. But it makes your Homestead pretty though.
Requests
Characters from your journey will occasionally visit your Homestead to ask for help, requesting specific products in exchange for rewards such as Wish Points and Ancient Coins. Fulfilling these requests is essential for progressing in this gamemode, as those resources are required to upgrade your buildings.
- The “Give Up” option rerolls the selected request, taking 5 minutes to generate a new one.
- Daily Rewards - Fulfilling requests earns you rewards such as Diamonds, Lucky Keys (used in Lucky Flip), Stamina, and Mirage Orbs, which are used to craft decorations in the Decor Workshop. You can also claim daily rewards faster by submitting higher-quality products, indicated by the number of stars each product has.
For the most optimized setup to produce higher-quality products, refer to this guide by the Yaphalla Community:
Dream Pavilion
The Dream Pavilion is a system that boosts your Homestead’s efficiency by activating Dreams, which temporarily increase the production rate of specific types of harvesters.
- You can only activate 2 Dreams each day.
- The first Dream each day can be activated immediately.
- The second Dream each day requires completing a Dream Objective to activate.
- Any unclaimed Dreams will automatically activate the next time you log in.
Darkswarm Invasion
Constructing, upgrading, or even using your buildings attracts Hypofiends, which raises the Aggression Level. Once it reaches max Aggression, a Darkswarm Invasion will occur, causing Hypofiends to attack your Homestead, reducing the efficiency of your harvesters. You must defeat them to end the invasion, but you only have a limited number of attempts for each Hypofiend battle.
- You can request assistance from other players to help you defeat the Hypofiends.
- Weekly Contribution Rewards - Defending your own or other players’ Homesteads earns Contribution Points, which grant additional rewards based on the amount you accumulate.
