Guess it may be better to buy it from someone instead of trying to place it myself (as space would be easier to find) I have 97K for it. I can lock down my key ring on the steps, right?
Yes, heres a link to house security. http://uorforum.com/threads/housing-101-entrance-security-tips-and-tricks.544/ .
There are countless places to put a small tower here, I would grab a deed and look around in an area you have interest in. If you need help PM me I will help you free of charge.
House is placed. I put locked down the key ring outside the door, but may move it to in the doorway later on.
Yeah you will want it on the actual door tile, you can float it to be seen over the door using some stacked boxes or a deco tool. Being able to use it from both sides is ideal. Grats on the house.
It doesn't have to be a double door house does it? Because I don't think (maybe it's the same with double door houses too) there is a tile RIGHT on the threshold of the door, on tile is past it inside the house, one before it outside the house. Can't put the tables between the two to set it up, but I'm guessing you want it inside.
I usually stack two tables inside the door and then place a keyring with a bunch of five keys on top, as that's larger and easier to click on than a single key (also looks nicer in my opinion). This works on single and double door houses.
I think I can do it myself, but do cooks/provisioners sell fish steaks? Is there anything else I can use instead?
anything that stacks, e.g. books, but I simply put two tables, one on top of the other and then sometimes adjust with a deco tool. If you don't have one of those, check Gideon's Large White Marble Store in Yew, you'll find one for sale there.
It can be done on any door, the door tile will be the tile you can walk on to once the door is open. In a small tower the door will appear to be south of its tile, but as an object it is occupying the tile. When its sharing the tile with the door the key-ring be able to be used the same from inside the house as well as outside. As others have stated any object stacked from the floor to raise the key-rings "Z" level will allow the key-ring to appear over the door vs being hidden behind it.
On a side note: I suggest creating macros for "I Ban Thee" and the skill Detect Hidden if you have not already.
