Houses

Joining a house has several benefits, such as gaining access to house spells, house point shops, and monthly rewards for reaching house point milestones. Each house earns house points in a different way (see help house points). To join a house, visit the respective hall and seek out the administrator. There you can type 'house join <house name>' and pay a fee of 25000 gold and 2000 questpoints to become a member. The command 'house list' will list all 9 houses.

Every time you earn a house point, your personal pool of house points increases and you also contribute to your house's overall pool of house points. House points are reset on the 1st of every month at 8AM Eastern Standard Time. Houses who have earned at least 150000 house points will be rewarded with a random house reward (see help monthly reward for details). A note will be posted on the house forum listing rewards for each house. This helpfile contains an overview of the various ways each house earns house points. House point amounts are in parenthesis.

Slayers Killing a monster in your level range (See bottom of helpfile for details) *Surviving Round 20 in Colosseum (E = 30, M = 50, H = 75, I = 100) **Duel in the arena (Winner = 20, Loser = 10) Unique mob kill (150) Unique mob kill in Hardcore (150) **For 15 minutes after an arena duel, it is not possible to earn house points in the arena. If fighting someone in the same house both members will earn the house points (see above for house point amounts). Alchemists Dosing a mob (5) Crushing a gem (5) Unlocking a recipe (200) Foraging for ingredients (5) Brewing potions (see below for house point amounts) If the difficulty level of the recipe is between 67‑100%, house points earned will be the recipe potency/3 (per potion). If the difficulty level of the recipe is between 34‑66%, house points earned will be the recipe potency/2 (per potion). If the difficulty of the recipe is between 1‑33%, house points earned will be equal to the recipe potency (per potion). Failing a brew will cut the house points by half. Example: Recipe difficulty is 70% and potency is 20. You successfully brew 14 potions. House points earned will be 14*(20/3) = 84 house points. If the potion brewing fails, 84 would be cut in half. Newbies Level up (1*your level) Killing a monster in your level range (See bottom of helpfile for details) Healing a player (2) Entering a never before explored room (1) *Logging in once a day (20) *New characters must wait 1 day to start earning points for logging in daily. For example, when you create a new character, it will automatically join Newbies, but it will not be able to earn the 20 points until 24 hours later. Newbies and Slayers earn house points for killing mobs. The amount earned is based on level and hardcore mode. For levels 1‑49, you earn 1 point, levels 50‑99 earns 2, 100 to Hero earns 3, and Legend earns 4 points While in hardcore mode, the point amount is tripled. If you are in a group and have group boost mode on, each additional player will raise the house points by 1. If the mob is a boss, this increases the house points by an amount that is higher the higher level the mob is. Healers with redirect experience on also earn the above amount (see help redirect experience).
