Access your Hideout via the waypoint menu (Fleur-de-lis symbol) or by typing /hideout in the game chat.

Hideout Types

Initially, you'll have one Hideout type. Discovering additional Hideout maps within the Atlas of Worlds unlocks more options. There are four Hideout types in total: Felled, Limestone, Shrine, and Canal. Switch between them by interacting with Alva.

Hideout Customization

Personalize your Hideout by placing and arranging objects and NPCs. Rotate, move, add, and replace items and decorations. Import and export designs to share creations with others!

Strategically position essential NPCs like Doryani (item identification), Ketzuli (disenchanting), and Alva (currency exchange) near the entrance for easy access. Don't forget Stashes and a Waypoint! Remember to balance functionality with aesthetics, as other players might visit.
