Frosthaven buildings
Updated
Board game: buildings are campaign infrastructure, not character classes. Start with the Barracks, Alchemist, Craftsman and Workshop at level 1. Numbered envelopes introduce additional buildings.
Construction rules and official cross-checks
Unlocking places a level-0 foundation sticker. Pay the level-1 cost before adding the building card to the deck. Prosperity is a requirement, not a resource you spend. Sun effects resolve in operations; moon effects are downtime interactions.
Initially you can construct the Logging Camp, Mining Camp, Hunting Lodge and eligible wall, or upgrade the Craftsman, Alchemist or Workshop travel tools. A Workshop travel tool uses the construction allowance just like a building upgrade.
Resource buildings can each be used once per party per outpost phase, not once per character. The payer and resource recipient may be different characters.
- Use construction and crafting, event decks and challenge rulings for the adjacent systems.
- The tables separate the prosperity requirement from resources actually spent. Prosperity rewards are track checkmarks, not entire prosperity levels. Costs are base construction/upgrade costs, not repair or rebuilding costs, and do not apply campaign discounts.
- Official FAQ 4.0 independently confirms the starting buildings, the level-1 costs for Mining Camp, Hunting Lodge and Logging Camp, and the costs and +5 defense effect of every wall below. It does not verify all later building levels.
- Quest-to-envelope links below are community-recorded routes, not a complete list of every possible campaign unlock. Opening an envelope is not the same as constructing its building.
Numbered building index (spoilers)
22 numbered buildings are listed here. Workshop travel tools and five wall sections are separate records, not eight extra numbered buildings.
Availability and quest routes are community-recorded except the starting setup confirmed by FAQ 4.0. Each number links to its level-by-level costs and rewards.

Questions
What is building 90?
Spoiler: 90 is the Town Hall. FAQ 4.1 links it to challenges. On reaching three checks, the associated section may be read immediately after the scenario so the Town Guard perk can be used in the next outpost phase. First-printing envelope sticker numbers should be 1, 5, 8 and 9.
What is the Tower of Knowledge?
The official envelope checklist identifies building 83 as the Library. It does not list Tower of Knowledge as a building name, so that search phrase should not be treated as a verified additional building.
What are the numbered building names? (Spoilers)
21 Inn; 24 Garden; 37 Trading Post; 39 Jeweler; 42 Temple; 44 Enhancer; 65 Metal Depot; 67 Lumber Depot; 72 Hide Depot; 74 Tavern; 81 Hall of Revelry; 83 Library; 85 Carpenter; 88 Stables; 90 Town Hall. This is an identity list, not an unlock-order recommendation.
What is building 74's level-3 prerequisite? (Spoilers)
The party must already own the first three Ancient Coins. These are special campaign items, not three ordinary gold. The first- and second-printing Ancient Coin puzzles differ, but both are solvable.
