Apartment
An Apartment is premium player housing, typically bought with real-life cryptocurrency. Apartments are a type of NFT.
An owner of one or more apartments is known as a Land Holder or "holder" of a Land Deed.
Apartment Perks
Apartment holders receive exclusive perks:
- Exclusive content, such as access to Teshimi VIP events
- Access to Furnishings, including gold-generating rentable crafting stations
- Rentable locations on the overworld, some with gold-generating rentable Farming plots
- Maildrop rewards
- Log-in rewards
- Access to Holder channel on Discord
Purchasing an Apartment
See: apartment listings on OpenSea.
Apartments come in 4 sizes:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- Penthouse
Note: Medium and larger apartments can have an entrance rented on the overworld, near towns and dungeons.
Verifying a Land Deed
After purchasing an Apartment, new holders must verify ownership with Collab Land via the official Soulbound Discord:
After verification:
- The apartment will be linked to the player's in-game account
- A "Key" icon will appear next to the player's Discord name
- The player will have access to the Holder-only channel on Discord
Accessing an Apartment
Apartments can be accessed via keypad in Arcadia city, just north of Fritz's lab.
Restricting Apartment Access
Holders may restrict others players' access to their Apartment.
Holders have the following options:
- Closed - not open to the public
- Whitelist - only select whitelisted players can enter
- Friends - only players on the Friends List can enter
- Open - open to the public
If an Apartment is not Closed, then other players may visit by punching the Apartment Number into the keypad in Arcadia or walking through the Apartment entrance on the overworld.
Renting an Overworld Location
Holders of Medium or larger Apartments can rent entrances on the overworld for quick access. For example: in cities or near dungeons. Renting costs gold.
To rent a location:
- find an "Open" tag on an Apartment entrance in the overworld
- Click the entrance to open the renting window
- Set the amount of time to rent.
- Don't forget to set the option to Auto-renew if you don't want the rental to expire!
Rentable Farming Plots
Some overworld apartment locations come with farming plots, which the apartment holder can charge other players gold to rent (similar to crafting stations). Farming plots are rented by the day. These plots exist as instances, so multiple players can rent a plot at the same time.
Example:
- MrGold's rentable farming plot
- Lux's rentable farming plot
- X's rentable farming plot
Furnishings
Land holders have access to a variety of apartment items:
- NFT furnishings from OpenSea
- Crafting Stations and Generators, furniture, plushies, etc. from the Yoku Forge in Arcadia
- Event decorations (i.e. Halloweeb)
Placing Furnishings
The Apartment Editor is currently used to design an apartment.
Each Furnishing must be placed individually. Holders are encouraged to combine various assets to create the apartment of their dreams. The end result can be stunning!
"The Apartment Editor can be a tad frustrating when installing your floors. Each floor acts as its own individual room and has to be increased a little at a time. The size of the rooms are determined by the size of your apartment, but once you get the hang of it this is pretty simple to do. If you are having issues, consider adding a manager of an active player that can assist you with laying out your apartment floors. Once completed you can easily remove them as the manager and feel free to tip!" -
Crafting Stations & Generators
See: Crafting Stations
Crafting Stations are powered by Generators. The ratio of generators to stations depends on the Level and thus Wattage of each.
Generators run on Coal. Each generator has its own Coal queue; once the Coal is burned up, the generator will cease to be powered.
Note: all generators in an apartment must be fed Coal in order to craft at 1 or more stations.
Recipes & Blueprints
All stations start at Level 1 with basic recipes. A station can reach Level 2 for access to more recipes after reaching the required experience on that particular station. Likewise, generators can be Level 1 or Level 2.
To gain access to additional crafting items, Apartment Holders must obtain recipes or blueprints from dungeon chests or trade with other players. Each special recipe or blueprint has a limited number of crafts!
Options
- turn generator(s) and/or station(s) ON or OFF
- how much gold to charge visitors per crafting minute
- cancel orders in queue
Holder Channel
Apartment owners can interact with other Land Holders and gain access to exclusive developer interactions, including first looks at dev notes, updates, and feedback.
Holders must have their account properly linked and the "Land Holder" icon (purple key) next to their server name to access this channel on the Soulbound Discord.
In-game Currency Rewards
Maildrop Rewards
Apartment Holders can receive maildrop rewards.
For example: Commission Credits were granted for the Lunar New Year Event, based on the size of each apartment on the account:
- 20 for Small apartments
- 40 for Medium apartments
- 60 for Large apartments
How Do I Claim Maildrop Rewards?
Rewards are sent via in-game mail. To receive rewards:
- Holders must have their wallet linked to their account with the apartment(s) prior to reward distribution
- Log in after maildrop rewards are given
- Click the Mail button near minimap and claim rewards
Log-in Rewards
Apartment Holders have been granted Pioneer Credits for daily log-ins. This currency is slated to be used for a Loyalty Rewards program.
Price History
As with the vast majority of NFTs, Soulbound apartments have lost most of their value over time. Reportedly, some apartments were worth around $19,000 USD at peak and have dropped to hundreds or less by February 2025.
Holders can earn gold through rentals. More gold will be accumulated by apartments in the most convenient locations, such as near Granny Smith or the Witch Doctor in Virelda or near the DeSat Bank in Arcadia.
Some players engage in out-of-game gold to ETH or USD trading, serving as a means of supplemental or hobby income. The player "_blank", who owns a popular Level 2 station Apartment, stated the amount of gold earned from apartments is not very high - thus, the real money conversion would be limited. However, this may change depending on any new systems planned by the developers, as well as playerbase population.
As of February 2025, the exchange rate is:
- 1k gold for 0.00038 ETH
- 1k gold for $1 USD
Updates & Community Suggestions
The Soulbound team has future plans for additional NFT item integration, Crafting Station and apartment space updates, and the host space Teshimi. Community suggestions for an extensive multi-item NFT store, mini-games, and theme packs have also been submitted. Holders have also requested the ability to link multiple wallets and thus even more apartments to one main account.
Suggestions and feedback can be submitted via the Soulbound Discord.
