Editing Housing (section)

==Purchasing a House==
Each house in Asheron's Call has a purchase price that is made up of [[Pyreal]]s, [[Trophies]] and one or more Writs of Refuge. In addition, each house also requires upkeep on a monthly basis (with the exception of Residential Quarters, which require upkeep every 3 months). '''One thing to make note of:''' If you own a cottage, villa or mansion, and you abandon it, you may not purchase another facility for 30 days. 

'''Note:''' A list of the required trophies can be found on each individual house page.''

===Writs of Refuge===
A new form of currency was introduced to Asheron's Call for the purpose of purchasing and maintaining houses. The [[Writ of Refuge]] is an item granted by members of the Zaikhal Arcanum for performing certain tasks or retrieving and returning certain trophy items to them. These tasks are geared roughly toward the level of the purchaser of the home at each level.

Arcanum Agents can be found in most cities and towns. Stop in and talk to one and he or she will tell you what items can be traded for writs. It is also possible to obtain writs through certain quests.

===The Covenant Crystal===
Covenant Crystals appear wherever there is a home. It is used to purchase and pay maintenance on the home. They link the character to the home and display the name of the homeowner once the dwelling has been purchased.

The covenant crystal accepts either pyreals or exact trade notes. For example, if purchasing a Villa you can use 2,000,000 pyreals or 8 [[Trade Note (250,000)|MMD Notes]].

After purchase of a dwelling, the first period's rent/maintenance is due, which is also paid at the covenant crystal. The next due date can be found on the [[Map Panel#House|Housing tab]] of the Map panel.
