How Player Houses Works in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon
Image Credits: Questline, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon
Player-owned homes do exist in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon... but it’s more of a late-game flex than an early-game necessity, but they’re definitely nice to have.
There are houses you can buy, houses you can earn through quests, and storage systems you can use that don’t require a mortgage.
Can You Own a House?
You sure can. There are multiple player homes throughout the game, especially in towns and hub areas.
Some are expensive to buy, like 20,000+ gold
Others can be earned for cheap or even free through questlines
One free-ish option involves helping or romancing a noblewoman named Alisa
Look around each zone, especially in towns with inns or pubs nearby. Many homes are gated behind a sign you can interact with, or they’ll unlock after completing a quest chain.
What Houses Have and Can Do
Provide private crafting stations
Give you your own bed (for a 5% XP Rested buff)
Let you decorate using overpriced furniture
Offer personal storage for gear and items you want to hoard
But here’s the thing: the game already gives you shared stashes in most towns and forts. You don’t need a house to store items or craft gear.
Where to Get One Early
In the first region, there’s a mansion on the shore near the starting fortress.
You can clear it out as part of a quest, and depending on how you handle Alisa’s storyline, you can buy it for 500 gold or even get it for free.
Not a bad deal... assuming you’re willing to do some relationship management.
Should You Even Bother with Houses?
Depends on what you want.
If you're just looking to store loot or craft gear, the public areas and shared stash chests work fine.
Buying a house is more about immersion, style, and roleplay. It won’t change the game mechanically in any big way.
That said, it is pretty dang cool to have a place to call your own... even if it took slaying hundreds of wolves and selling cheese to afford it.
Final Blurb & FAQ
Houses in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon are available, but not essential. You can buy one, earn one, or skip them entirely and just live out of your stash chests.
They're more for convenience and fun than actual utility, unless you’re committed to the fantasy of being Avalon’s most stylish hoarder.
