Use the special moongate next to the Haven gate (near where new characters start). It takes you to a safe room that contains a number of gates and vortices. One of the vortices will age a character sufficiently to place a house. (Another one ages it so the skill cap is consistent with the account's actual age and not maxed at 700.)
A minor modification ....
Haven and Britain Bank have the same Gate Tina is talking about.
The Account age will be set to allow you, regardless of how old the account is, to get a 720 Skill Cap.
There is a Vortex/Gate for SpellWeaving that sets all SpellWeaving Quests as Completed (Both Summons Spells are enabled).
There is a Vortex/Gate for Pet Bonding. This requires the Pet to have been feed and Wonderfully Happy, BEFORE going through the Gate. Both you and the Pet need to walk through this thing. Note you should see a sparkle effect when you walk through and when your pet walks through, thnis means 2 sparkle effects one for you and one for your pet. When this has occurred you need to Feed your pet again. If all went well you should see the Pet status turn to Bonded, after you have feed it after walking through the gate.
Just a note, if you are going to use the Brtain Bank Gate .... often, you may want to mark a rune a distance from the bank as the one in the supplied Rune Book will most likely be blocked.
Now that ChrissayEAMythic notes that TC1 and Retribution are bonded in terms of housing, I guess I am going to need to go to TC1 and check on my houses.
