Access to secure containers can now be assigned by the house owner.
When a house owner makes a container secure a window will appear with the following options:
Accessible by only owners and co-owners,
Accessible by only owners, co-owners and friends.
Locking down secure items in houses will change in the following ways:
Only the player that locked down an item or the owner of the house will be able to unlock that particular item. This will not change previously locked down items until they become re-locked down. Items on top of or below other locked down items will be accessible. Players will be able to use dyes on any dye tub, including ones that are locked down. However, black dye tubs will no longer be dyeable under any circumstances. This will affect all previous black dye tubs that exist. Keys on a keyring will not count toward the lock down total in a house. The keys within the keyring will not decay, however the keyring itself will still subject to normal decay situations. Players will be able to use any locked down container, except a secure container. Note that items inside of a container cannot be locked down unless the container itself is also locked down. As stated above, locked down items will only be able to be released by the player that locked the item down, or by the owner of the house.
The following items will be useable when locked down:
Runes may be used for recalling. Treasure maps may be viewed by anyone. Rune books will allow recall scrolls to be added by anyone to increase the amount of charges. Visitors to a house will be able to recall to a location from a locked down rune book in that house. Books will be readable by house visitors. Visitors to a house will not be able to scribe text into a locked down purple book. Candelabras and lanterns that are locked down will be operable by the house owner, co-owner, and friends of the house. Musical instruments will be operable. Locked down dyes will be useable on locked down dye tubs (except true black dye tubs which will not be dyeable as described above.) Locked down mugs, glasses, cups, will be useable by anyone.
