Apartment

An Apartment is a player's own housing in Soulbound: Online — a piece of land that every player gets as part of the game. Players can also rent additional locations around the world using in-game resources.

Accessing your Apartment

Every player gets a free apartment in Virelda, just to the left of the tavern. The early quests lead you to it, so you do not need to find it yourself. Use the keypad next to the house to enter:

Access Restrictions

You can set who is allowed in:

Closed – no visitors
Whitelist – only specific players
Friends – players on your Friends List
Open – anyone

Visitors may enter by keypad code or by walking through the entrance.

Home button

The Home button in the top-right corner of the main interface teleports you straight to your apartment. It is free to use but has a cooldown, so it is not a substitute for planning a route.

Your apartment number

Other players need your apartment number to visit by keypad. To find it, open your inventory, choose Key Items, go to the fifth tab (Apartments), and hover over the Home icon.

Apartment Perks

Access to Teshimi VIP events and exclusive in-game content
Furnishings (including rentable crafting stations that generate gold)
Rentable overworld entrances and gold-producing farming plots

Apartment Sizes

Apartments come in four sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Penthouse. The size decides how much room there is to build inside, and which rentable locations the apartment can be attached to.

Moving out

All furniture and stations, including accumulated XP, are removed if you give up an apartment. If the apartment has a rented plot at the time, the lease transfers to the new occupant and can be kept or renewed as desired.

Renting Overworld Entrances

An apartment can be attached to a rentable location — an entrance out on the overworld (for example, near Granny Smith). Nearly every rentable location asks for a Small apartment; the two exceptions, NT_2 and NT_3 in Neo-Tilus, accept any size. Rent is quoted per day and paid up front for a term of 7 or 28 days, in gold and — at the Virelda locations — materials as well. To rent:

Find an "Open" tag on an entrance
Activate the entrance to open the rent dialog
Select duration and enable "Auto-renew" if desired

Rent and requirements differ by door. Some also ask for skill levels: the two cheaper doors in Arcadia City, for example, need Gearforging, Crafting and Hacking at level 15 and cost 2,100 gold for 7 days or 8,400 for 28. The full table is on Rentable location. Turn on Auto-renew if you mean to keep a door for a long time, so the lease cannot lapse while you are away.

Furnishings & Editing

You can decorate your apartment with:

Crafting Stations and Generators from Yoku Forge
Event decorations (for example, Halloweeb)

Use the Apartment Editor to place items. Each floor is an individual room, so plan your layout accordingly.

The best way to start editing is to see how far each floor can reach. Each floor in a medium apartment can use 36 tiles, and can only be 9x9, or 81 total tiles. With three floors to work with, a player can build a layout that is both functional and distinct from everyone else's.

"The Apartment Editor can be tricky when sizing floors. Add a co-manager to help if needed." — Community feedback

Crafting Stations & Generators

Crafting Stations require power from Generators fueled by coal or fuel sources from hacking. All generators must have fuel to operate any station.

Recipes & Blueprints

Stations and Generators start at Level 1. Reach Level 2 to unlock more recipes once enough experience is earned. When starting out, promoting your apartment for experience at each station is essential. It's worth setting the gold-per-minute to free or very little so that more people use your stations and level them quicker. Special recipes drop from dungeon chests or come from trade, each with limited crafts. The higher the tier of recipe, the fewer items players can craft from it.

Options

Toggle Generators/Stations ON or OFF
Set visitor crafting fees per minute
Cancel pending orders

Upgrading stations

Higher-tier recipes need higher-level stations as well as the skill level, so upgrade stations as you progress. To upgrade, hover over the station, right-click, choose Manage, then Upgrade. Once you have the materials the upgrade is instant; there is no waiting timer. The first upgrade of the basic stations is cheap (players report copper and hemlock only), so it is worth doing early.

Run several stations

Some recipes take a long time to craft. Build more than one station where you can, and start long crafts before you leave to quest, explore or run dungeons so the timers run while you are away.

Power

Every station and generator draws a share of the apartment's power, shown as a percentage. If the total goes over 100%, every machine switches off, so you cannot simply keep placing machines. Check your usage before adding another. Right-click a station to see its power draw and manage it.

Permissions

Permissions exist at two levels: for the apartment as a whole (see Access Restrictions above) and for each crafting station individually. You can therefore let visitors use one station without giving them the run of everything. Check both before opening your apartment to friends or the public.

Earning gold from your Apartment

You can earn gold through rentals, with prime locations (for example, near DeSat Bank or Witch Doctor) generating more.

Known issues

Furniture rotation (September 2026): the rotate option is shown when placing furniture but does not currently work. It is not your controls; for now, place furniture in its default orientation.
