Elderbough
A cozy two-storey cottage built around a giant oak, with 84 storage slots and a 10-hour build.
Elderbough is a cozy two-storey cottage built around the trunk of a giant ancient oak. The oak grows up through the roof, its roots curl out from under the stone foundation, and a little lookout hut sits on one of its branches. It has 84 storage slots, more than Lantern Hollow Manor, and it takes 10 hours to build. It comes with no starting furniture. If you choose Bring It when you move in, the furniture from your old home arrives in moving boxes.
How to Get
Open the sign on your plot and choose the Houses tab. You can pay in two ways:
- Gold and materials: 230,000 gold plus the materials below. The materials are used up.
- Crystals: 8,299 crystals. This pays for the whole house, so you skip the gold and the materials.
Either way, Elderbough then needs 10h to build. Your current home stays usable the whole time. When the timer ends, return to the sign and press Finish. Elderbough becomes your active home.

Crystal here is the gem you mine, not your crystal balance. Your builder works on one upgrade at a time, shared between houses and garden upgrades.
Inside
Elderbough has one big room with birch-panelled walls and a small entrance hall by the front door. It has no starting furniture. If you choose Bring It when you move in, the furniture from the home you left arrives in moving boxes. Walk up to a box and press E to unpack it. For more furniture, buy pieces from Rowan or craft them at a workbench.
Elderbough has 84 slots of House Storage. To open it, place a piece of storage furniture such as a Small Wardrobe.
Cellar
A stairwell in the corner of the room leads down to a root cellar under the great tree, a second room for your furniture. Walk down the stairs to go below. The screen fades to the cellar on the way down and back on the way up. If you have a pet, it follows you.
- Furniture goes on the floor you are standing on, so walk down first to decorate the cellar.
- Nothing can be placed on the stairwell. Furniture that already stood there is packed into a moving box next to the stairs.
- You only see visitors who are on the same floor as you.
Finishes
Floor finishes cost 175,000 to 840,000 gold, and roof finishes cost 210,000 to 420,000 gold. See Finishes for the materials and colors.
