Rise of the Ronin longhouses explained
The longhouses work as personal spaces for you that give access to many features. You unlock the first longhouse during the Follow Your Blade Twin mission, but you get others as you progress in the game.
In the longhouses, you have access to many functions. You can store items and send your Pilgrim Dog to look for money. In the Relax menu, you can wait time pass in case you need to be in a specific moment of the day to start a mission, find the option to respec your character as well change their appearance or the appearance of your equipment.
The Talk menu allows you to interact with the characters visiting the longhouse at that moment. Talking to them is important in case you want to increase the bond level with them. This is possible by giving a gift to them and this is only possible in the longhouses.
Rise of the Ronin longhouse Remodel system explained
The third and one of the most important features of longhouses is the Remodel system. By using it, you set weapons, hanging scrolls or paintings on the wall, and display accessories in the house to activate special buffs. The effects are listed below:
- Weapons: Buffs the drop rate of weapons of the same type as the one displayed.
- Scrolls and paintings: Increase the acquisition of many elements, from coins, weapon proficiency, items from money sacks, and items dropped from enemies.
- Accessories: Using them increases the frequency a determined type of character will visit your longhouse.
The buffs gained from the weapons are great if you are still looking for a good one to use of a specific type. Sometimes you have a great katana but what you really need is a polearm. The scrolls and paintings will help you farm money or Skill Points from the weapon proficiency. Lastly, accessories are crucial to develop bonds since the characters who visit you are completely random.
How to get furniture in Rise of the Ronin
Before you can enjoy all the buffs longhouses can offer, you need first to acquire the furniture to use. The easiest way of getting items to display in your longhouse is by finishing missions.As one of the rewards you get for completing Ronin, Bond, or Grass Roots missions, you might find pieces of furniture.
To expand the list of buffs you have, you may want to consider buying pieces of furniture. You can exchange them for Silver Coins, which is a special - and rare - currency in the game. In case you have some to spend, you can visit the Photography Studio, the Cat Collecting, and the Official NPCs. To unlock the items sold by these NPCs you need to first complete their challenges.
Good luck in making the perfect place for you in Rise of the Ronin!
