Nobody answered me in homes and castles.. but when a house is IDOC, how much time does it have till it really decays from the time it switched to IDOC? Im sitting on one now and I was just wondering

**Adam** · 11th March 2007, 10:13 AM

There's a good guide on UO.com about the stages of decay

http://guide.uo.com/house_6.html

Housing State

Approximate Duration

Like New

1 hour

Slightly Worn

1-2 days

Somewhat Worn

1-2 days

Fairly Worn

1-2 days

Greatly Worn

1-2 days

In Danger of Collapsing

12-24 hours

This is from the Stratics Homes & Castles forum:

2. What are the different stages of house decay and how long does each last?

Like New
Slightly Worn
Somewhat Worn
Fairly Worn
Greatly Worn
In Danger of Collapsing
Demolition Pending

-Each stage last about 24 hours, except for Like New (about 50 minutes) and In Danger of Collapsing (just under 8 hours).

-If a house that has entered its last stage of decay has rented vendors working out of it, the house will not fall until the vendor’s rental contracts have expired. At that time, another timer begins running to give the vendor owners time to collect the items and gold from the vendors. Once these waiting periods have passed, the house will begin to decay normally.

I Think its 12-24 hours from the moment it goes IDOC. Could be more like 8-16 though.

From my short time camping them it seemed that the majority of them would drop from the hours of about 10am-2pm EST. This was on Catskills shard...

Passion · 11th March 2007, 10:18 AM

ok... thanks for the heads up. I heard that the info on uo.com was outdated. And someone else told me 7 hours.

Stratics says over 18 hours, but I was camping a house 2 days ago and it fell at around 12 hours or less because when I logged back in.. it was down.

Im thinking 7-8 hours. Guess Ill find out.

Passion · 11th March 2007, 11:35 AM

7-8 hours is correct... How do you open paragon chests? sry, im a noob.

**DiP** · 11th March 2007, 11:55 AM

GM Lockpicker needed.

Swamps Edge · 11th March 2007, 11:46 PM

IF I recall correctly..it is around 7 hours after IDOC then poof.

Level 1 paragon chests can be opened by a GM mage using the unlock spell. Level 1 chests drop from Trolls, Earth Elementals, Ettins, Greater Mongbats, Gazers, Enslaved Gargoyles. Ore Elementals, too, I think.

Hmm.. well these were chests that were stacked in a house from efreets, drakes, cyclopian warriors... I dont have a gm lockpicking skill. I tried hacking it up with an axe, but that doesn't work. Wish there were service contracts available for that...

**Vepl** · 12th March 2007, 07:25 AM

Passion I am sure you can find some thunters who will be glad to open the chests for you. Mine is on LS so I can't be much help
