Housing System

Housing System #

The Housing System in A Dawn of Heroes allows players to claim personal instanced homes, decorate them with functional or aesthetic furniture, and control access and environment. Whether you’re a humble traveler or a wealthy baron, your house is your sanctuary, customized, private, and fully yours.

Overview #

  • 17 unique home interiors are available, in different styles and sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.
  • 90+ pieces of placeable furniture can be used to decorate your home.
  • All homes are instanced per player, allowing multiple players to own the same house type without interference.

Some furniture types do not count against the furniture cap, and can be used freely up to their own individual limits.

Furniture System #

Furniture in A Dawn of Heroes serves both decorative and functional purposes. Here’s how it works:

Key Features #

  • Unlocking Furniture: Each furniture must be unlocked using Epic Tokens or Boss Tokens.
  • Shared Ownership: Once unlocked, a furniture piece can be used in any of your compatible homes.
  • Place Anywhere: Furniture can be placed anywhere within the home and freely adjusted through an intuitive UI panel.
  • Persistent Layouts: Entering the same house from different access points will load your saved custom furniture layout.

Furniture Types #

  • Standard Furniture: Counts towards the furniture cap.
  • Uncapped Furniture: Does not count towards the cap but is still subject to its own placement limits.
  • Faction-Specific: Some items (e.g., Drow Altar) require the owning character to belong to a specific faction.
  • Utility Furniture: Includes on-use functions like:
    • Healing Fountains
    • Portals
    • Banking access
    • Summonable merchants
    • And more…

Housing Control and Functionality #

Entry Permissions #

You control who may enter your home:

  • Always Allow: For trusted party members.
  • Ask for Entry: The player is prompted before allowing someone in.
  • Deny Entry: Full privacy.

Settings are accessible via the Player Menu > Housing Tools.

Pets #

Homes can house your pets as ambient NPCs:

  • 1 in Small Homes
  • 3 in Medium Homes
  • 5 in Large Homes

Note: Pets assigned to your home can still be summoned outside.

Instance Lifecycle #

  • Your home instance remains active for 10 minutes after the last player exits.
  • During that time, you can fast-travel back to your home from the player menu. This function has a cooldown of 10 minutes

Preview and Purchase #

  • When you approach a house, a preview panel appears showing:
    • House size
    • Faction restrictions
    • Aesthetic theme
    • Entry permissions
    • Whether it is faction-locked or open to all

This allows players to preview the layout and settings before purchase.

Faction Restrictions #

  • Some homes are open to all factions.
  • Others are faction-specific, and can only be purchased and entered by players of that faction.
