  Homesteads allow you to own your very own piece of land. The best part about it: It's absolutely free! No service required or anything. With it you can grow and build various things. Most of them will be for show but there are quite alot of items that can help you as the player out. From Anvils to Herbs there is no reason for anyone to not build a homestead (besides being lazy! lol)
  
  

  [SIZE="5"]How to Create a Homestead:[/SIZE]

  
  
  In order to obtain an homestead you will need a permit:

  How do you obtain this wonderful permit? Luckily Nao will present you with one upon logging in when G14 releases! (You must be at least level 10, thanks to Caim for pointing that out) Along with the permit you will be given a quest to create the homestead. The reward for that quest will be 1 pickaxe and 3 strawberry seed packs. We shall get to more detail about that later.
  
  In order to create the Farm you will need to access the new farm tab (it will appear to the right of the Actions tab at the bottom of your screen, gaining the default hotkey of A). From there simply click create homestead:
  
  

  [Image: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa251/jointhemadness/Farming/Create.png]

  
  
  From there you will be given the chose to own land in one of the three areas: Uladh, Connous, or Vales. The selection will not change the grow able crops, but there are a few items that can only be built in certain Homestead locations (You can make snowmen in vales). Also note that if you have a homestead in vales the weather in vales affects the homestead (I.E. You would gain more herbs if you picked them while it is snowing at vales).
  
  Note: You can refer to the list of growable items from mabinogi wiki to compare and contrast. The link to it is here.

  Once you pick your area you will be prompted to create a name for the homestead. It can contain up to 20 characters and only takes letters, numbers, and spaces.

  Congrats on making your new homestead! Now it's time to work on it~<3[/Font]

  First Few Days of Homestead:

  [/SIZE]
  

  [SIZE="3"]Day 1:[/SIZE]

  
  
  Alright post 2! In the previous post we covered creating a homestead, and now with one created it's high time to enter it. Once you enter it you will be greeted by blatt, who will show you around your land, and the homestead ore you can collect from the deposit. First things first. Grab a pickaxe (if you completed the quest you will have a free one in your hands and let's get to mining!
  
  

  [Image: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa251/jointhemadness/Farming/Gathering.png]

  
  
  The ore deposit gives out ores on a daily basis, and only will regenerate at midnight (pst for our server). You will gain a total of five ores per day, unless you are a service user or an event is going on right now. Luckily you can lucky and huge lucky gather the deposit for massive ores!
  
  (Note: Anyone know how much service users will obtain per day? That info would help quite a bit thanks~<3)
  
  Now that the ores are taken care of, let us begin to work on our little plot of land. First off Take a good notice to your top left. There are two buttons just below your F keys. The top one is for modifying built items, and the one below it is for the building menu. Since we do not have anything that is already built (you can move around the ore deposit and warp, but more on that later) we will just have to build something~

  At level 1 Homestead you can only build one thing, a Home (Tent lol). It costs 5 Homestead Ore and will take 10 seconds to complete. When you select create for any item you must place it in a free location. Anything in the area of that item you are creating, including you yourself will prevent it from being built. In addition you can use Page Up and Page Down to rotate the item clock and counterclockwise.

  Upon completion of a building or crops being harvest the player will gain chicks, which is basically exp for homesteads. That one home you build will net you 50 chicks, which is enough to level you up to level 2! With level 2 you will get to watch a nice cut scene, and be rewarded with increased land! As you continue to work on your land you will gain more and more space:
  
  

  
  
  • Level 1 - 9x9 Space
    
  • Level 2 - 17x17 Space
    
  • Level 4 - 25x25 Space
    
  • Level 10 - 33x33 Space
    

  
  
  At this point you used up all of your homestead ore to create your new tent-home, so you are pretty much done for the day. Also note that you cannot enter your new home, even if it looks cozy enough (boo...).
  
  If you would take note to the upper left, the top button there is for map editing. Once you click it you will enter map editing mode and be able to modify the items around you.

  The only difference is a few growables (Vales get snowmen where you can get tons of snowballs from, but cannot grow apple trees for apples and whatnot), but I'll just refer to the wiki list for now, it's a bit easier that way lol -half lazy-

  Ores are not tradable, and you cannot go inside your tent/house/mansion

  Physis can have Snowfield Apple Trees.
  
  Physis is the only area that actually has an item advantage of Snowballs.
  
  Also, a word about naming your Homestead: it works like when you name your Family. You cannot have two or more Homesteads of the same name, but it doesn't share the same naming capacity as characters/pets. Meaning, for example, you can name your Homestead after yourself, somebody, etc.

  So vales is best is you want to grow mana herb. What are the pros and cons of Connous and Uladh?
