Chests
Chests (storage containers) are a type of furniture in Ashes of Creation.[2][3]
- Players must obtain and place storage containers in their player-owned housing.[2]
- Different grades of storage containers have different inventory capacities.[2]
- There are restrictions on the grades of storage containers available in different types of houses.[2]
- Access permissions can be set to allow others to access a player's personal storage devices.[4][5]
- Personal storage chests may be set to permit access by family or guild members.[4][6]
- Players are prohibited from moving goods out of depositories within a node following a siege declaration against that node.[7]
- Gatherables and processed goods that were stored in in-node housing and apartment storage chests become lootable upon a successful siege against the parent node. These do not become lootable if the node survives the siege- even if the housing buildings are destroyed or damaged during the siege.[8]
- Personal caravans may launched from any point of storage (including chests).[9]

Warehouses
Storage points exist at warehouses within nodes and in chests (storage containers) that can be placed in freeholds and static in-node housing.[11][2]
Household security
A permissions system will enable an owner to grant access to specific parts of their housing.[12][4][13]
- Ability to open the door and enter the home.[4][13]
- Access to crops.[4]
- Ability to deposit or withdraw items from storage containers.[4][5][6]
- Permission to decorate but not take anything from the house.[4]
- A property has a single owner.[12]
- Mayors are able to allocate treasury funding to hire mercenary NPCs to defend their node during sieges.[15]
It'll be a single owner based system for those types of properties- for properties in general, but it doesn't prevent players obviously from you know collaborating and pooling resources in order to achieve certain achievements in the game.[12] – Steven Sharif
Carpentry
Carpentry (furniture making) is a Crafting profession in Ashes of Creation.[16][17][3]
- Quality furniture is able to be crafted in-game based on the skill of the craftsperson.[3]
- Furnishing items with in-game functionality will be restricted entirely to those created by the carpentry profession.[16]
- Crafted furniture may contain bonuses based on the quality and grade of the furniture.[18]
Your ability to craft more luxurious furniture comes with how much of a master craftsman you become in the Furnishing profession.[3] – Steven Sharif
Housing decorations
Players may decorate their player housing and other types of buildings.[22]
- Houses will be empty when purchased.[23]
- Players may be able to upgrade to pre-furnished sets when they purchase their home.[16]
- Pre-furnished sets will be almost entirely visual and aesthetic. Only items crafted by the Carpentry profession will have in-game functionality.[16]
- Players may place Furniture, artwork/paintings and other decor items in their player housing.[24][2][25][26]
- Items may only be placed in locations that are suitable for that item. For example: Statues, may only be placed in exterior locations (of Freeholds and Static housing).[16]
- Each size of player-owned housing determines how many decor items can be placed in it.[27]
- Prized items such as achievements and trophies may be displayed.[28]
- Characters will be able to interact with furniture items such as sit in chairs and lay in beds.[29]
- Players will not be able to alter structural aspects such as windows and walls.[16]
Quality furniture can be crafted in-game based on the skill of the craftsperson.[3]
- Furnishing items with in-game functionality will be restricted entirely to those created by the Carpentry profession.[16]
Your ability to craft more luxurious furniture comes with how much of a master craftsman you've become in the furnishing profession... This isn't like you know, I want my house to look good, I got to fork over 50 bucks in cosmetics... Players can craft in-game based on their dedication and focus in that aspect the artisan tree.[3] – Steven Sharif
Player inventory
Personal inventory limits[31][32] are tied to a backpack.[33] Material and gatherable items are subject to quantity rather than weight limits. Caravans and Mules are intended to be the primary mode of transportation of goods beyond these limits.[34][35]
- Mules can carry roughly 10 times more than backpacks. Caravans can carry roughly 10 times more than mules.[36]
- Caravans will have carrying capacity limits and customizable stats, such as defensive points, speed and number of hired NPC guards.[37]
- In addition to expanded inventory capacity, caravans also provide ancillary benefits relating to successfully completing trade routes and other quests.[38]
Inventory capacity will be relatively limited for new characters.[38]
- Inventory expansion and weight management training certificates are available in the Galleria at City stage economic nodes.[38][39]
- A player's inventory has sections for different types of items. Quest items for example will not fill a player's regular inventory capacity.[38]
Item stacks will in general have quantity limits based on the type of item.[34]
- The stacking limit of potions might be one hundred. The stacking limit of food items might be 999 or 1000.[34]
Backpacks
A backpack is an item crafted by artisans that provides personal inventory space.[33]
- The higher level the backpack, the greater the inventory space.[33]
- Different backpack types cater to different activities.[33]
- Gatherer's backpacks are intended to carry gatherables.[33]
- Adventurer's backpacks are intended to carry consumables and items.[33]
In order to roleplay you need to be able to represent kind of what your character is doing in that world and you know part of what animation is doing is creating these sockets on the let's say the belt or the backpack that you know can plug in certain types of props or items that are created by the character team.[40] – Steven Sharif
