Settlements
When you start thinking of starting your own settlement, you'll need to save up some money to cover the costs of establishing your deed. In addition, there is a monthly amount you need to allow for routine upkeep. Failing to keep enough cash in your settlement's coffers will put you at risk of it being disbanded due to abandonment.
The upkeep costs on these servers are considerably less than typical servers. Here is a breakdown with some samples:
| Founding the Settlement | Monthly Expenses | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tile Price1 | Perimeter Tile Price1 | Guard Recruitment Bonus | Deed Upkeep1 | Perimeter Upkeep1 | Guard Salary |
| 20 iron | 10 iron | 20 copper (2000 iron) | 2 iron | 1 iron | 10 copper (1000 iron) |
- There is a 30 day grace period on upkeep after the settlement is founded.
- The minimum upkeep on any settlement is 3 copper.
