Housing System Overhaul #
We have completely reworked the Nordock Housing System using modern scripting and user interface solutions. The new system offers enhanced flexibility, usability, and immersion:
- 17 unique player houses of varying sizes (small, medium, large)
- 90+ customizable furniture items, placeable and movable with a new UI panel
- Furniture unlocking system with Epic/Boss Tokens
- Persistent layouts across all instances of your home
- Adjustable access permissions, pet hosting, and more!

As part of this update, Benzor, Brosna, and Mulrok Village were slightly revamped with new house entrances.

The banking system is now fully UI-based. You can deposit and withdraw gold through a user interface, no more talking to banker NPCs or relying on speech commands.
