With the new housing method in Crimson Desert, players will be able to discover properties in Pailune. You will be able to construct and personalize all the buildings according to your taste, but they will not be presented on the initial map, requiring you to locate the sites by yourself prior to sending workers to start building. Here’s how to unlock the new houses and where to find them.
How to Unlock and Build New Houses
In order to activate a house, you need to visit it and eliminate the threats present in that area. If there are no enemies around, the house will become accessible in the map, which is essential for starting a construction task.
Return to your camp and talk to Ross. Select Mission Dispatch, then navigate to Activities → Construction → House Construction. Choose a builder and assign 10 workers to the mission. After picking a builder, you must assign ten workers to the task, which will take a single in-game day, after which the house will become open for you to personalize.
Alternatively, you can activate the construction process using the map. After you have finished building the house, you must enter the map and press Y on Xbox, enabling you to choose one of three characters that will be able to have their home. Each character can have a dedicated home, where their spouse can also live.
How to Customize Your Houses
Once you have completed constructing a house, check the area to see a fenced-off lot where you can build your preferred home. The locations have the same default house, but the buildings can be modified along with furniture.
The best place depends on what you like. The creator especially likes the Calade location for its good view, proximity to the restaurant, lumber camp, and smithy, as well as the view of the nearby castle. Other suitable locations are Old Forest House and Old Rail Soundhouse.
Keep in mind that the new small houses added to the game are completely different from castles and camp housing.
