    You need to get story tokens by doing quests by the travelling bard in travellers outpost.Then you can buy estate tokens from a trader on the top part of travellers outpost (near the stash and klass).

    i thought there is also a quest where you can directly get estate tokens...30 story tokens for 1 estate seems very expensive

    I did the quest from Boltag once and it gives 1 estate token per week. I tried to do it again yesterday but he didn't give me the quest. Maybe it hasn't been a week yet.
    Did you talk to Boltag?

    If he is not providing the quest you may have already completed the quest for the week or you owe passed due upkeep. If you do not currently have your house available due to late rent you cannot receive the quest from Boltag until it has been paid.

    Circular logic...Can't pay rent because can't get quest...Can't get quest because rent isn't paid because can't get quest to pay rent.....oh, sts...((insert colorful expletives))

    No wrong. In RL u can buy a house OR rent a house. If u would buy a house in RL and pay also rent for it, its time to visit a mental home

    A house owner has to face monthly costs like taxes, insurances and any additional costs plus savings for maintenance, to sum it up, upkeep, not rent. If I have no job, I can't buy a house nor pay the rent for an appartment and without a fixed home address I won't get a bank account and without the bank account, I won't get a job. At least in my country, I don't know how it is in Wurmiland. So, no home <--> no job.

    But upkeep should be a bit less costly

    Then we can shine a light on the relation between acquisition costs and upkeep: e.g. for the lodge the monthly upkeep is 8x4 estate tokens, if I buy the 25 estate token kit plus 7x1 estate token I need to spend 270 plat, that would be more than half of the house purchasing costs and is disproportionately high. Realistic upkeep shouldn't be higher than 1% of the original costs and since this is a game, players should be able to work for their progress in game, so not giving the weekly Boltag quest is really stingy.

    Yes...but upkeep is disproportionate to your real world equivalent. At that rate, My upkeep would be very near to my purchase price....every month. That's not realistic. If sts wants housing to be successful, it must reconsider...or foreclosures will rise and the homelessness rate will skyrocket. I've already seen a tent encampment in Windermere...how soon before the Occupy Arlor movement takes root?

    My real worl equivalent was a reference to your post on the circular logic: If we don't pay our upkeep fee = no home, we don't get the Boltag quest = no job. Upkeep costs should be a small percentage of the acquisition costs and rent isn't that much higher since the renter pays for additional costs. Nobody would rent a house if he pays 1/2 of the whole price every month, that was was Wurm said, we practically have to buy and rent our houses at the same time. So if we pay some sort of installments we are getting charged with astronomical high interests and thus ripped off by the property sharks. I am not completely against any payings for upkeep, but those should be possible by doing quests in game. If we keep our posts up, maybe we get heard some day. My post in housing feedback has already been edited, so a good sign that it has been read lol.
