Housing Item Limit and Building Blocks

               ===What Counts Toward the Limit?===
Now that you understand that item limits are listed for (general) items of every kind and for building blocks, just remember that ''most'' items you place while [[Decorating Houses|decorating]] a house will count toward the limits. 
:In fact it is far easier to state what ''doesn't'' count at all. That can be summarized as:
*Most [[Book Quests Timeline|books for/from quests]], including [[:Category:Lore and Legend Quests|Lore and Legend books]], no longer count against item limits. While it may not be a complete list, you can look for specific titles in a post on [https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?threads/books-item-count-and-you.421500/ the official Daybreak forums]. [[Player-written books]] do ''not'' count toward the item limit.  
*In the past, items in the Moving Crate (a crate used to move from one house to another or store items) used to count against the items limit in houses, but this is no longer true. The removal of item count from the Moving Crate means it can be used to quickly move large groups of items around the house while you decorate or to stash items you want to access easily later (like holiday themed decorations).
