I will say 4 floors are max. I was only able to build one extra floor = one floor more on main roof and each corner towers. Sure I could had build between them too, but I don't want a big cube.

I believe you are wrong as anything I tried to build higher would end up in moving crates.
Try use a sextant on top floor. Mine say: -You are at w0, 2215, 877, 71

71 is the highest I can build

is the top floor built with craftable tiles or rubble? I believe several people built higher castles using rubble than are currently possible using stone crafting.

different land masses have varying heights. I know the Malas land-mass varies a bit (used to have a custom there and one corner had different vertical measurements than the other).

All I know is the ~70 limit... I kinda like my castle to have towers and such.

A mate of me has reached more than 120 in the z-axis. You can check the height with the sextant tool. It will now show also the z-coordinates.

We had a housing decoration contest on Drachenfels last month. If you like to get inspired visit DF and double-click the post of the banner of the winners in Luna (can be reached through the stable, 2nd floor). A link with pictures is here

The 2nd placed is my favorite but this castle is really laggy.
The mate i mentioned was not in the contest.

5th floor = goza only
4th floor = new custom tiles

70 71 or 72 is typically the max height for fel or tram. Malas goes to 120 I believe.

The top char statue is the very nw corner of the 18x18. This is in malas. However fel/tram cannot get this high.

Hello Mates,
you are all right in your way of argumentation.

I figured out: Floors made with craftable Stone Pavers will have a max hight of 74 so u can place anything else. Building up higher than 75 so it depends where u are.... on the west side of Buildings / Castle u can go up to 77. When u built higher than 75 and after the next server up all is gone... have a look into your moving crate ;)

I Reached the max hight of 112 with Gozas... and im able to place there Raised Garden Beds and Fontains of Life.

In order to be legal i sent a Mail to Messana and i asked the GMs and our Shard EM. They confirmed that it is ok like i did it.

This is what i learned while i redesigned 2 Castles

Have Fun
