Homes
Homes give you a permanent place to decorate, keep belongings, install Home stations and offer rooms to other players. An online home belongs to your account: your other characters can enter and manage a purchased home too. The building is exclusive to one owner across the online world.
What you can do at home
| Feature | Type | What it provides | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|

| Let rooms | Renting | Offer separate rooms at a daily price and collect the rent. | Renting rooms |
Ownership and access
The three-home purchase limit belongs to the character who bought the homes. Account-wide ownership does not turn that into a three-home limit for the whole account. Deleting the buying character releases its purchased homes, even though the account's other characters could use them. A house awarded to a knight and a guild's hall have their own ownership rules.
| Door setting | Who may enter |
|---|---|
| Private | The owning account. This is the default for a new purchase. |
| Party | The owning account and the owner's party. |
| Guild | The owning account and eligible guildmates. |
| Public | Anyone. |
A tenant with an active room rental can enter even when the general door setting would keep them out. Permission to enter is separate from permission to open a container or use a station; set those permissions on the individual decoration.
Online and offline homes
| Home | Ownership | Decoration record | Purchase price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchased online home | Shared by the owning account; one owner for that building online. | Kept online so visitors see the furnished home. | Footprint and town size; see Buying. |
| Offline house | Belongs to the offline save. | Kept in the save. | Daggerfall's house pricing. |
| Owned ship interior | Belongs to its owner under the ship's rules. | Its interior can be decorated; furniture is kept with the relevant save or online record. | See Ships. |
Buying a house offline does not reserve that building online. Online purchases, decoration changes and rentals can draw on the Bank of the Empire account; see Banks. Check the confirmation before paying or selling.
