House manual

Adventuring is tiring — characters lucky enough to own a home soon learn to love a comfortable bed. To bid, stand in front of the house door and use the !bidhouse command.

Houses are private buildings players can rent: regular houses to rest, shops to build a business and guildhalls where a whole guild finds shelter.

• Protection

  A house is a protection zone: nobody attacks you inside (but health and mana do not regenerate). Only guests can enter, so your items are safe.

• Better recovery

  Sleeping in a bed while offline restores 1 soul point every 15 minutes, health and mana while the food lasts — and trains your skills too.

• Unlimited storage

  Chests of drawers and other furniture store items without the depot limit.

• Prestige

  A beautiful house impresses the community — and lets you show off your trophies safely.

• Restrictions

  Up to three houses per account. Guildhalls can only be rented by guild leaders. You can only bid on or buy one house at a time, and the character must have left Dawnport/Rookgaard.

• Auction

  In the Cyclopedia "Houses" tab: pick the city, filter by "Auctioned", select the house and click "Bid". Confirmed bids cannot be withdrawn — only lowered to the current highest bid.

• Selling and transferring

  The owner selects the house in the Cyclopedia and clicks "Transfer": picks the date (up to 30 days ahead), the character and the price (0 gold = free). The buyer must accept before the date and have the gold in the bank; the owner can cancel until it is accepted.

• Weekly rent

  Rent is paid in advance, straight from the bank. Without funds on the due date you get a warning and one week; after that you are evicted and your items go to your inbox (large furniture stays).

Warning: players who do not log in for 7 days lose their house at the next server save.

Owners and sub-owners edit house rights with "spells" spoken inside the house:

• aleta sioGuest list

  One name per line. To uninvite, delete the name.

• aleta somSub-owners

  Sub-owners can also invite, uninvite and kick characters.

• alana sio "nomeKick character

  Kicks the character out of the house. Anyone can kick themselves.

• aleta gravDoor rights

  Facing a door: sets who can open it. Great for private areas in guildhalls.

List shortcuts: * stands for several letters, ? for one, *@guild marks every member and rank@guild a rank. A line starting with ! excludes matches; with # it is a comment.
