If you are staking for a town slot and decide to switch factions, your town will be relocated to a detached county. You will then need to choose a new slot from the Invite/Rent Offers view.

You will receive an in-game message notifying you about your faction switch and staking, instructing you to select a new slot within your new faction. You can choose a slot from the same tier (or a lower tier) that you previously occupied.

With the updated staking system, you no longer stake for a specific slot but instead gain the ability to settle on any slot within the tier you staked for—or any lower-tier slot—within the Faction Leader’s County. These slots are available to you without taxes or additional requirements.

These slots would also be available to other players who are not staking for land access, but these players will have to pay taxes.
