Ranking All 4 Houses In No Rest For The Wicked

In a game like No Rest For The Wicked, where you have limitless loot but limited inventory, having a house is necessary to keep all the treasures you get from your adventure. Houses allow you to place and keep your storage units and crafting stations, and since there are several of them in Sacrament, knowing your best options from the get-go can be extremely helpful for your long-term progression.

All Houses Ranked In No Rest For The Wicked

Here’s a quick overview of all the houses in No Rest For The Wicked from best to worst:

1. The Homestead

The Homestead is my top recommendation if you want some of the best household quality that justifies the price. Although it’s slightly pricey, this house is the closest to the city’s Fast Travel Point, adding a ton of convenience for you.

On top of that, you get a lavish interior with tons of space and easy manueverability thanks to the built-in ladder that connects both floors. I doubt you’ll need any more houses when you buy The Homestead, so it’s worth every cent and a must-have.

2. The Roost

The Roost is not only one of the cheapest houses in No Rest For The Wicked but also one of the closest to Sacrament’s Fast Travel Point, allowing you to quickly visit it when you want to store something you just found in the overworld. Given its low price and decent size, I believe it’s the perfect starting house for beginners and should be plentiful enough that you won’t need to buy a second house until much later on.

3. The Mansion

As the most expensive house in No Rest For The Wicked, The Mansion is also the most spacious residence. Alongside the standard double-story home, it also has an extra room for more inventory management. However, while The Mansion is great for decorations and dumping loot, there’s no reason to spend 30 silver coins for a house this big.

Personally, I never got close to filling up this house, and since it’s farther from the Fast Travel Point and the other vendors than The Homestead and The Roost, I usually never used The Mansion for anything except placing lamps. 

4. The Knot

Like The Roost, The Knot is much cheaper than The Manor and The Homestead, but unlike The Roost, you can see why it’s so cheap. For starters, its location is abysmal, and it takes you up to 15 seconds to reach it from the Fast Travel Point.

Besides that, its interior is extremely ugly, and although it’s almost half the price of The Roost, you barely get any meaningful space when you’re inside. In my opinion, The Knot is probably the last house you should buy, even if you’re low on coins and want an immediate upgrade.

My Tips On Buying And Managing Houses

When considering all the requirements, I believe owning The Homestead and The Roost is more than enough to ensure you never run out of space to keep your loot. Both houses are closest to all the vendors and have ample room for decorations and item placements. I suggest keeping your excess resources in The Roost and your weapons in The Homestead so you don’t have to travel too far to their respective vendors.

That wraps up my brief guide on ranking all the houses in No Rest For The Wicked. As always, the best house for you depends on what you prioritize—looks, size, or convenience.
