Breaking and Entering

The Breaking and Entering system allows individuals or groups to enter properties to steal items and gain experience. The system entered the Test server in 433 (January 2020) and was released to all 3 instances in 433 (February 2020).

Overview

• The system takes advantage of the new BURGLE verb. It should only work in justice areas that are outdoors.
• There is a new AVOID !CRIME setting, which prevents people from leading you into a B&E instance, even if you're in their group.
• Thieves will want to make use of some Khri. There are three Khri that give an advantage, but which three are currently undocumented.
• Survival skillset placement has a significant impact in multiple ways, including chance to find a piece of loot from a surface and cooldown.

Warnings

• The fines levied for getting caught breaking and entering are high and can exceed 1000 plat. It is highly recommended that you try this system out in the Test Instance before you try it in the live game.
• Failure is determined by the player doing something wrong, there is no random "snake eyes" failure. The fine for being caught is fairly high.
• Stay out of sight. Either dark of night, or stealth is required.
• Don't linger. Unless you're a very fast Thief using all the Khri advantages, you don't have time to get loot out of every room.
• Don't do it too often. There's a message when the cooldown expires.

Subscription Levels

• Premium subscription provides a few bonuses. It reduces cooldown and increases chance of loot slightly.
• F2P Characters don't grant extra rooms, and they don't grant lower cooldown for better survival skillset placement. They also have a very low chance of finding loot, even using Khri.

Getting In and Getting Out

• You need some method of entry, either a lockpick, lockpick ring, or a heavy rope. This will determine the entry method experience you get.

• A lockpick or lockpick ring will train Locksmithing on success.
• A heavy rope will train Athletics on success.
• The item in your right hand will take precedence. If you are wearing a lockpick ring and holding a rope, the rope will be used.

• To exit a burglarized domicile, GO WINDOW.

Experience

• Entry method experience is granted on exit.
• You get half experience if you are caught in the home, or exit the home with a guard in the room you started in.
• You gain experience from SEARCHing or RUMMAGEing through each surface in the rooms, Thievery and Stealth (if you're hidden/invisible).

• Note: you will receive this experience for the action; it is not dependent on finding an item to award the EXP.

• Survival primary behaves slightly differently. Each Survival primary increases the entry method experience. Enough Survival primes will allow you to learn both entry method skills.

Cooldown Times

	F2P Cooldown	Standard Cooldown	Premium Bonus
Thieves	60 min	25 min	-5 min
Survival Primary	60 min	30 min	-5 min
Survival Secondary	60 min	40 min	-5 min
Survival Tertiary	60 min	50 min	-5 min

Your entire group uses the best time, and your entire group benefits from a premium character in your group.

• As an example, if a Premium Bard (Survival Tertiary) and a Standard Thief were to burgle together in a group, both characters would have a 20 minute cooldown. (Standard Thief = 25 minutes, -5 minutes for a Premium character.)

If you attempt to BURGLE before your cooldown timer is up, you will immediately be charged with a crime and taken into custody if you attempt to do it in a justice zone.

You can use BURGLE RECALL to determine how long you should wait. There is also a HELP option, so HELP VERB BURGLE as well as BURGLE HELP will give you this information. Additionally, you will receive the following message when the cooldown timer is up:

A tingling on the back of your neck draws attention to itself by disappearing, making you believe the heat is off from your last break in.

Rooms

• All houses contain a Kitchen and a Bedroom.
• Each primary skillset characters, with the exception of Paladins and F2P characters, will unlock a different room.

• For example, having a Moon Mage and a Barbarian will unlock two additional rooms, the Sanctum and the Armory.

• Non-F2P Survival primary also behaves slightly differently, with each Survival primary in the group unlocking a random room that isn't already unlocked.

• example needed

Room	Searchable Surfaces	Unlocked by Guild	Notes
Kitchen	counter	All	Always present regardless of guild
Bedroom	bed	All	Always present regardless of guild
Armory	rack	Barbarian
Library	bookshelf	Bard, Empath, Trader
Sanctum	desk	Cleric, Moon Mage, Warrior Mage
Work Room	table	Barbarian

• Paladins can BURGLE if they wish, but will not unlock any additional rooms.
• Rangers, Necromancers and Thieves unlock a random room that isn't already unlocked.
