Deeds

Deeds are documents that function similar to scrolls in that they can be read. Unlike scrolls, reading them will cause a different effect. Most of the deeds can be read to construct buildings on the world map, with the exception of the deed of heirship, which will allow you to claim heirlooms from the heir trunk.

Deeds of buildings[]

The following types of deeds create buildings on the world map:

Deed	Deed cost	Maintenance	Max Items	Area	Total Area
Cave	0	0	100	34x22	748
shack	35400	170	150	22x12	264
cozy house	75000	800	200	25x16	400
estate	186500	1800	300	27x18	486
cyber house	373000	3200	350	27x18	486
small castle	1335000	5000	400	35x24	840
palace*	2204000	7200	400	42x50	2100
storage house	10000	750	200	20x16	320
farm	45000	750	80	22x20	440
ranch	80000	1000	80	28x17	476
museum	140000	1500	400	34x20	680
shop	200000	5000*	10-400	34x20	680
dungeon*	500000	0	350	60x80	4800
discarded ranch*	500000	0	400	60x34	2040

NOTE:

No Cave deed exists. It only appears before you build a new home.
A shop initially has room for 10 items, but is expandable until it reaches 400. The maintenance was lowered to 2000 in Elona+.
A dungeon can only be bought in Elona+. Both the Palace and Discarded ranch are Elona+ exclusive.

Every building you create with a deed increases your taxation. As you increase ranks of your buildings, you gain more income. Buildings also incur monthly operational maintenance costs. These costs are reduced by 15% if the deed was blessed. This is likely no longer the case as in Version 1.16r fix2b, blessed deeds show no change to maintenance cost in comparison to normal deeds.

You can only have one house, so if you place a new one, the old one is removed. This concerns buildings from the following list (in order of cost and size):

The cave you start out with for a home (Default name is Your Home until you change it via the dialogue option with a hired maid)
shack
cozy house
estate
cyber house
small castle
palace

The items from your earlier house will transfer to the new house when replaced, all piled up into the central square, forcing you to re-distribute them around your new house; in Elona+, if you use the "deed of removal deed", your current house will be moved to the new location with all of the items remaining where you put them. Servants from the earlier house will not transfer.

Deeds of heirship[]

You can read deeds of heirship to claim items from the heir trunk in Your Home. If you play as an adventurer from a gene file, the trunk will be filled with the items in the original adventurer's inventory at the time of making the gene (except for Precious items, Deeds, Kitty banks, figurines, cards, and small medals); otherwise, the trunk will be empty.

These deeds always look the same and have the same name, but do not always stack together. Each will award between 1 and 3 additional heirlooms (As of version 1.69 of Elona+, each deed will always award 3 heirlooms). Deeds that stack together will not automatically grant the same number of heirlooms. A deed that lets you "claim +2 more heirlooms" lets you take 2 full item stacks--if the trunk has, for example, 10 scrolls of oracle in one stack and 1 potion of defender in another, they can all then be taken.

Deeds of property transfer (Elona +)[]

Deeds of property transfer can be read inside of player owned properties to register that property to the deed. Reading the deed a second time on the world map will move the registered property to your location. After the property is relocated the deed will be consumed.

Deeds of vehicles (Elona +)[]

The following types of deeds change the vehicle the player uses on the world map.

Deed	Deed cost	Maintenance	Cargo limit increase	Notes
carriage	30000	500	10
truck	120000	2000	20	When on a road tile, movement time is multiplied by another 3/5.
magic locomotive	600000	10000	30	No movement penalty on snow. Reduces players MP while traveling.
land battleship	1800000	200000	100	Immune to desert heat. Prevents monster and rogue encounters.

Wishing for vehicle deeds will spawn a deed of carriage or wish for truck deed.

Deeds of ships (Elona +)[]
