From Official Wiki of the Renaissance Kingdoms

Your character can buy its fields upon:

Your character can own up to two fields.

To buy a field through the land market, a character must:

Transactions (purchase and sale) are immediate.

Notes:

  • Purchase of a second field is only possible by unlocking the skill "Squire".

  • The mayor can put taxes on all fields except on the fallow fields.

Town Hall

Buying a field at the town hall costs:

  • 50 pounds (Pound.png): for the very first purchase only
      or
    • 500 pounds (Pound.png): for all subsequent purchases

    This purchased method allows your character to choose the type of land he want to farm.

    Note that the pounds spent this way simply vanish into the levanesque void. This means they do not benefit anyone, not even the town hall, nor the county.

    Sales offers

    Buying a field by consulting one of the sale offers means buying it from one of the inhabitants of the town who put it up for sale.
    In that case, the price is anywhere between 400 and 1000 pounds (Pound.png) per field (first or second).

    This mode of purchase does not allow you to choose the agricultural plot. It is whichever the seller has previously chosen. It can be reset nevertheless.

    The pounds spent are paid into the house's chest of the field's seller.
