    This is so fun! AB player, here. I have three questions.

    1. What about the source of the clothing for the house actors? Is there a limit on where those clothes come from or can they only be the clothing recipes from the NotD recipe books?

    2. I got a catacomb recipe book while grave digging for a NotD quest. Is that recipe book allowed? It's just the catacomb brick style building blocks.

    3. I got a cool looking house item from one of the NotD-only collection quests. (It's a red lined coffin. May that house item be used?

    Thanks for doing this competition.

    It's any two or three room inn, right? Q, FP, G, Kelethin, Halas, Maj'Dul, etc?

    Yep, apparently! :)

    I don't know if we can make "extra" rooms, like in Neriak or Gorowyn places (they do seem to lend themselves to such, with those high ceilings ;->)...

    I did mine today after getting the answer. First time participating in anything like this. Fun stuff. Hard to do using only NotD items!

    1) Sorry I am not sure of the answer on this one
    2) Yes this can be included since it is NoTD and everyone can get it
    3) This can also be used as it is something anyone can get

    Hope this helps.

    I think the question re: the clothing used can be answered by, "Any clothes that aren't Appearance items from the Marketplace"? Keeping with that part of the theme?

    Question... can we use the house utility items. You already stated the expanders and the teleports. Can we also use the guild hall door and the rent reducing Treasure Horde?

    Xx :D

    is Tundra villa in halas allowed? it's listed as halas 3 room home by eq2furniture, but it actually has 3 rooms downstairs, and hallway and large room upstairs

    Something to keep in mind about the houses: I think the only "true" 3-room places left are in Qeynos and Freeport; all the others are listed as 1-, 3-, and 5-, even by the devs, when in reality they've been 2-, 4-, and 6-room places respectively for several years. The lazy buggers just haven't gotten around to properly naming them yet officially. :-/

    This was a really good challenge. It sounds easy but then you go to build something and its like nope can't use that, or that or that!

    I did end up doing the starter halas house, when do we publish- do we do as soon as its ready or wait until the 31st?
  13. Faeonara Well-Known Member

    You can publish it when you are ready as long as it is before Occ 30th . Make sure to add NOTDiy_2019 in the title.so the judges know what house to look at Judging will be held on Oct 31st .

    If it's got two physical rooms, yes. :)

    If it's got four physical rooms, no. :(

    I presume... :-/
