Housing System (Serenitea Pot Guide) - Starting Guide & Workflow

House System Starting Walkthrough

No. Procedure
1 Place all furniture you have to raise Adeptal Energy to 2000
2 Gather Wood & Materials. A stack of 50~100 for each wood type should be the goal
3 Buy all Vial of Adeptal Speed from Tubby. Use it to speed-craft unlocked furniture for Trust Level in the next step
4 Craft all available blueprints you have once for points. Your goal is to reach Trust Level 2
5 Buy blueprints to unlock more furniture you can craft. We recommend high-utility structures such as Forge at this stage

1. Place All Furniture You Have For Adeptal Energy

lace All Furniture You Have For Adeptal Energy

Place all your available furniture in interior & exterior. With the free ones given to you by the game, this should raise your Adeptal Energy to 2000, giving you double Realm Currency (4 -> 8) for faster expansion. This will be needed to increase your Trust Level & unlock items fast.

You Can Recall All Furniture Later

While some may consider it to be messy to drop random items in their house, it is a necessary step to get faster growth for this phase. You can put back all furniture later on.

2. Gather Wood & Materials

Gather Wood & Materials

Players should then start gathering materials needed to make all sorts of furniture for use in later steps. Essential items include berries & crops for dyes, Silk Flower for fabric & wood of all types. To avoid wasting time going back & forth for resources, focus on farming at this stage.

Wood Materials - Where To Farm

List Of Items Player Should Stock Up

Tree Wood Respawn After Daily Server Reset

Based on our testing, trees will become available for harvest after the daily server reset. Also, the rate that wood dropped with each swing is fixed. We found that using Claymore & Sword has the most optimal tempo for wood farming.

3. Buy All Vial Of Adeptal Speed & Use Daily

Buy All Vial of Adeptal Speed Daily

Furniture requires a huge amount of time to craft (~ 14 hours), making it highly inefficient to just wait for them to be made organically. Players should buy Vial of Adeptal Speed from Realm Depot daily & use it to fast-track their furniture construction. A maximum of 5 can be bought for 10 Realm Currency each.

Vial of Adeptal Speed

Use On 4 Star Furniture As Priority

As you go up the trust Levels, more & more 4-Star Furniture blueprints will become available. These will take an whopping 16 hors to craft. so prioritize using Vial Of Adeptal Speed on them.

4. Craft New Furniture For Trust Level Points

Craft New Furniture For Trust Level Points

To unlock further functions and quality of life improvements, you'll need to farm Trust Ranks here fast. The only way to do so is to craft never-made furniture to get points. Craft all furniture you've unlocked regardless of if you want them or not for now to get through this phase. Your goal for trust Rank is 2 & 4 for extra crafting slots & better store items.

Focus On Buying Blueprints First

To quickly increase Trust Rank of Tubby, you first need to craft different kinds of furniture. Most blueprints can only be bought at Realm Depot so it is recommended to buy Blueprints first and use whats left for Vial of Adeptal Speed

Tubby Trust Rank & Rewards

5. Buy More Blueprints From Tubby

Buy More Blueprints From Tubby

As you make & place more furniture, your Adeptal Energy should increase for more Realm Currency. With the extra currency at hand, players should buy more blueprints from Tubby for items they are somewhat interested to keep the Trust Rank points flowing in. If you ignore this daily step, your growth in the Serenitea Pot with be severely held back for the future.

The Items You Can Place Is Limited

You can only put a certain number of items in your realm. Focus on putting items that has more Adeptal Energy when you are still trying to level up the Trust Rank of Tubby.

Trees don't reset daily, they reset a few moments later.
This is confirmed by Taka gg's video.

Hitting multiple wood only targets 1 (weirdly enough), so polearm and sword are the most optimal ones.
