Template:Artisan buildings
If you want your Freehold to play a part in crafting and processing, artisan buildings will be something you’ll want to make room for on your Freehold. Since the highest levels of processing can only happen on Freeholds, having artisan buildings that benefit processing, and the stations associated with those artisan buildings, can make your Freehold an important component of the world’s economic chain. Constructing an artisan building will allow players to place the profession stations related to the profession of that building, and those stations can be placed anywhere on your Freehold where the surface allows. Profession stations do not need to be placed within the artisan building specifically. In addition, artisan buildings provide their bonuses to all stations on the Freehold.[2]
Artisan buildings are freehold or node buildings that give general benefits to the freehold or node and allow the placement of workstations for artisan professions.[3][4][5][1][6]
- Processing stations.[5][7][8]
- Freeholds are the only place that master and grandmaster processing is available.[5][1]
- Crafting stations.[5][7]
- Players can craft up to journeyman level on freeholds.[5][1]
- Freehold building blueprints are required for the construction of artisan buildings on freeholds.[1][6][9][10][11][12][13]
- Currently freeholds have a combined maximum total of six artisan and business buildings that can be placed in addition to a homestead.[14]
- A minimum of two artisan buildings will be required to max out a particular profession.[14]
- Maxing the freehold building tech trees for that profession will grant access to all four of its workstations.[14][15][5][1]
- Artisan and business buildings require permits and may incur upkeep costs.[2]
