Eq2 Gold--Quests

A s always, the creators of EQ2 intend to keep the players busy living out their lives of exploring the vast lands and the tantalizing quests.

From the moment you enter Norrath, you should be expecting quests to jump out at you. No longer will you have to seek a quest. The quest will find you although you may not be looking for one "Expect the Unexpected" !

Also, the quest system has been completely redone for the betterment of the game and for the ease of the players. No longer will you be required to type sentences or key phrases to trigger a quest from an npc! Come to think of it, you will not be required to type at all for a quest. You will receive options from the npc and you will have to choose what and how you want to respond from a multiple choice list.

How much does my first inn room cost?

The initial inn room is free to purchase and costs 5 silver per week (real time) for rent.



What happens if I don't pay my upkeep?

The penalty for not paying upkeep is the inability to enter your home. If you are already in your home when your rent becomes due, visitors will not be able to enter your house until the upkeep has been paid. Upkeep does not accrue over time; if you don't pay it for three weeks, the rent will still be the same as if you had only skipped payment for one week. Everything within your home will remain there even if you have not paid your rent.



Why can't I purchase a home with status points?

You must achieve a specific guild level before you are able to purchase a home that uses status points as part of its cost; the guild level varies depending on the home you wish to purchase.



Can I purchase a two-room or three-room home if I don't have status points?

Yes, you may still purchase these homes if you do not have any status points. However, the cash cost of such homes will be greater if you do not elect to purchase one that requires status. Also be aware that there sometimes are two choices within the same price range. For instance, a 2 room inn in North Qeynos is the same cost and carrying capacity as in Qeynos Harbor, however, Qeynos harbor's inn room's have a few more indoor decorating options.



What does each of the access levels mean?

You may set either a default access level, which applies to all characters, or set access levels for specific characters via the housing access window.

* None: If your default access is set to "none," then no other characters can enter your home. You may also set individuals to have this level if you wish to ensure they can never enter your home.
* Visitor: Visitors may enter your home, but cannot perform actions on any items within it.
* Friend: Friends may enter your home and can move items around within it, but they cannot pick them up.
* Trustee: Trustees can perform most of the same functions as the actual owner. They cannot, however, pick up items placed in the house that are considered no-trade.

Can I share my room with a friend?

If you make someone a trustee of your home, they can place and move tradable furnishings. They can essentially perform all of the same functions as you, save for relinquishing your home, placing and picking up no-trade objects, and paying for upkeep.

How many objects can I place in my house?

The number of objects you can place in your home varies based on the size of the floor plan. You can place 100 objects for every room in your home (i.e. if you own a three-room home, you can place 300 objects). The initial one-room apartment that you are given can hold 100 items, including books, pets, furnishings, etc.

Can I store items from my inventory or bank, in my house?

Yes, you now have the ability to store up to 2 slots worth of items within your home. You can access this feature through the door menu from inside your home.


How do I change the look of my floor, walls, and ceiling?

Move your mouse over the surface you wish to modify, double-click, then purchase one of the other surface options (you may also right click and access this window via a context menu). After purchasing an upgrade, you may "Set" your surface via the same window. Please note that you will not be refunded any money spent on upgrading these surfaces should you choose to relinquish your home.



How many characters can use my bulletin board at once?

The number of merchants who can use a bulletin board varies by the size of the home. Your initial inn room will allow two characters to sell at one time. A five-room home, for example, allows twelve merchants to use a market bulletin board simultaneously.



What are some of the benefits to housing?

There are a number of benefits to player housing. You can become an enterprising merchant within your home, selling your wares to others. Tradeskill devices may be acquired and placed within your home so you can craft and sell items in your home simultaneously. You can purchase a house pet as a companion or to show off to your friends. Homes are also extremely customizable, providing yet another way to personalize your character and establish an identity in the world of Norrath.
