Post-IDOC House Placement

Plot Broker’s Ledger

• A new House Raffle System has been introduced, replacing immediate house placement at IDOCs with a raffle-style process that provides all players an opportunity to compete for newly available housing plots.
• When a house collapses, the plot will enter a raffle state and become available for sign-ups via the Plot Broker’s Ledger.
• All raffles will remain open for a minimum of 24 hours and maximum of 48 hours before winners are announced.
• Sign-ups will close 30 minutes prior to winner selection, this timing is separate from the existing IDOC decay cycle.
• The existing IDOC decay cycle remains unchanged.
• IDOC house locations are available via the City Trade Minster.
• Players may purchase raffle tickets using gold and platinum.
• Players must be able to place a house in order to participate in the raffle.
• Ticket ownership is tracked account-wide, allowing participation from any character on the account.
• Ticket prices increase progressively with each purchase a player makes across all raffles.  This increase is specific to each account participating in the raffle.
• Upon purchasing a ticket, players will receive a map in their backpack displaying the plot’s coordinates.

Winner Selection and Claiming

• At the end of the raffle period, a single winner is selected.
• Winners will be notified via in-game mail, and will have three days to claim the plot.
• If the winning account does not claim the plot within the allotted time, the plot will not be re-raffled but instead will be open to regular house placement following a 24-hour cooldown.
• Only one winner is selected per raffle.
• The right to claim a plot is account-bound and cannot be transferred, traded, or sold.

No Entry Scenarios

• If no players participate in a raffle, the plot will automatically become available for regular house placement after 24 hours.

Kindlehart

• Kindlehart is a new recurring holiday event that will occur every February*
  • * The initial date for this event will begin when Publish 122 goes Live, until March 16th, 2026.

Overview

A ritual performed by the Bardic Collegium at the Shrine of Compassion has unleashed a surge of uncontrolled flame across Sosaria. Many creatures have become Kindlehart Infused, and glowing Kindlehart Shards now appear throughout the land. To help restore balance, adventurers are asked to gather this scattered power and return it to the Bardic Collegium.

How to Participate

• Defeat Kindlehart Infused creatures to claim their Kindlehart Flame.
• Search the world for Kindlehart Shards to recover wayward Kindlehart Flame.
• You will need a Flame Resonator, crafted by a Tinker, to extract flame from shards.
• Skilled Bards can extract flame from lesser creatures with Peacemaking.
• You will need a Radiant Vessel, crafted by a Master Glassblower, to safely store the flame you collect.
• Return filled vessels to the Bardic Collegium in Britain to receive rewards for your efforts.

Details

• Any creature has a chance to spawn as Kindlehart Infused
  • Identified by a special tooltip and visual effect
• Most Boss-level mobs will always spawn as Kindlehart Infused and provide extra Kindlehart Flame.
• Radiant Vessels:
  • Crafted by a Glassblower with Sand and Gold Dust
  • Auto-fill when Kindlehart Flame is gathered
  • Change color and tooltip based on fullness
  • Deposited into the Essence Collector for Kindlehart Coins

• Flame can also be extracted:
  • By slaying creatures
