Hi guys!

Can anyone explain new vault system very short, please?

Very brief how-to. I’m a bit confused with new changes sinse Sloth III.

Thanks in advance.

Building Cost: 10M gold

Availability: Everyone

A hovel is the starting point for our housing system. It consists

of one room with a vault. You may purchase a hovel on any continent

that has a construction guild present.

Once you have purchased your hovel, you will be transported to your

room and given instructions on how to build it. You will be able to

give your room names, descriptions, and extra descriptions. Please

refer to help house for more detailed information. When building

your home, please keep your descriptions in theme with our world.

Immortals reserve the right to change anything we deam unacceptable.

Each player will only be allowed one connection point per continent

for their buildings. What this means is, your original hovel will be

connected for you when you and from that point, every home you purchase

will need to be connected, by you, in some fashion with the original

one. Please refer to help hdir for more detailed information regarding

how to connect your homes to one another.

You may add extra items to your property such as boards, creatures,

and stores. This will be done buy using the house command which was

referred to earlier in this help file.

  1. A hovel consists of a room and a vault

  2. Once you have purchases your hovel, you may describe it using help

house as a guide

  1. You must purchase a key inside your first room purchase, make sure

you bring a million gold with you, do this by typing house buy key

inside your hovel. This key will be used to open all locks to entrance

rooms on any continents you have purchased houses on.

  1. Once this is complete, to initiate the vault, you must type:

unlock vault comboyouwant

  1. Type unlock vault comboyouset once more to open the vault

  2. Now give an immortal a tell and let them know you are ready for them

to connect it

The house command will be used to give your room it’s name, description,

and whatever other information, items, and creatures you desire. When

adding items or creatures, the item/creature will be zoned in the room

the purchase was made in, so please be careful when using house ‘buy’

command.

Usage:: house

arg1: name, description sector, extra, extra kill

arg2: description

Usage: house

When used by itself, this command will show you a list of housing #’s

and room names to each #. This information will make connecting your

rooms easy. It only shows you the properties to which you own on that

particular continent. The listing only works when inside of your hovel.

At the end of the list, it also gives you the command syntax which

will help with your hovel construction.

Usage: house name

This will give your building a name. Do not include brackets.

Usage: house description

Once the return key is hit you enter the description using ‘string mode’.

End the room description with @ on a new line.

Example:

house desc

] This inn is quite lavishly furnished. The walls are made of a rich

]walnut wood and the floor is covered with a fine, hand made red carpet.

]Comfortable chairs rest behind a large table in one corner while the

]reception desk rests in another. A large chandelier made of elegant

]crystals hangs overhead providing the room with light. Several pictures

]hang on the wall above the desk. Sounds of laughter and music can be

]heard from the north.

]@

Usage: house EXTRA

Adding extras to a room helps a great deal to create a well-rounded room.

Use ‘string mode’ to enter the description. The keywords are the words

that can be used to look at.

Example:

house extra door

]The oak door has large bent iron nails hammered deep into it. Once upon

]a time a sign was nailed here, the edge of the sign spells the words

]“No…..Y”

]@

Usage: house EXTRA kill

Occasionaly you’ll want to delete an existing extra, enter the keywords

for the extra after the kill parameter.

Example:

house extra kill door

house extra kill (will kill all the options in the room.)

Usage: house buy

You may purchase extra options for placement on the property you own.

When you purchase these items, they are zoned to the room the purchase

is made, so please choose carefully. A list of options can be found

at help room bonuses.

In your home you may have one or more vaults, each one can be

accessed using the following commands.

Ok, I have 10M coins and willing to buy a vault.

What’s my first move?

find the vault seller on the continent where you want to buy a vault.

Is this seller a new addition, or olde well-known vendors?

new.

for instance, bh is

essen;sign ledger;dw

or something like that from recall.

(his name is kaya or something)

So, to be able to buy a vault, I must pay 10M coins AND 30 drachmas. Not good, thanks, I’ll run with my junk for awhile.

no. to buy a vault find a vault seller on the continent you want your vault on.

there is one on each continent. iirc bh is the only one where you need to pay drachma

to get to the vault seller, and i am sure if you ask nicely someone would send you to kaya

so you can buy a vault in bh if you wanted to, but whatever.

nice imm trolling, good job yasik! :P

Noone is trolling, I just was trying to get info I didn’t found in help files, and figure out how one can has vault nowadays.

Well, things are going pretty well so far, thanks all for help and advice, now I’m proud owner of private property and can finally begin to hoard equipment.

Btw, where can I get an admin email address just in case I need to report something is not as I think it should be? Can’t find anywhere on the website etc. Thanks in advance.
