Use an Uncommon Settlement Title to purchase an unclaimed settlement in a level 1 district. It is an ownership document, not the Land Plot Title used to rent one personal base plot. Research unlocks the title for purchase; you still need to obtain the actual item before buying the settlement.
Get the level 1 Settlement Title
Find the Settlement Title in Shipments and complete its research, then buy the document through the Black Market. The listed level 1 figures are separate costs:
| Cost | Listed amount |
|---|---|
| Research unlock | $100,000 |
| Title base price | $200,000 |
Check the live purchase screen before spending. Do not confuse the title’s base price with its resale estimate, and do not assume completing research delivered the document. Inspect your inventory after the purchase so you know which title you are carrying.
The Uncommon item occupies two by two inventory cells. It applies to a level 1 district; a matching name alone is not a reason to assume it buys property in every district tier.
Check the settlement before buying
Your target must be unclaimed for this document’s purchase purpose. Look for an available settlement in the intended district before committing your funds. Owning the correct title and finding available property are separate requirements.
If all you need is a place for your own base, compare that objective with renting a vacant plot inside an existing player-owned settlement. You do not need to own a whole settlement to become a resident. Buying the wrong type of title will not substitute for the rental document.
Understand settlement ownership income
The owner can obtain a personal plot there without paying for that plot and rent other spaces to residents. The level 1 title lists a five percent share of residents’ laundered cash. Ownership also provides a cut of tenant spending, and the income must be collected in person.
Do not read a percentage as a guaranteed daily return. The income depends on tenant activity, so an empty settlement and a busy one are different investments. Before choosing ownership, consider whether your goal is managing rentable property or simply establishing a home.
Keep the document distinction clear throughout the purchase: Settlement Title for the settlement, Land Plot Title for an individual rental, and a house as the structure placed on your personal plot.
