Tower guard

2013-12-07T23:04:44Z

Jukkken:

[[CDB|Main]] / [[:Category:Bestiary|Bestiary]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

== Description ==
[[Image:Towerguard female.jpg|thumb|A female tower guard.]]
[[Image:Helloweenguard.jpg|thumb|A tower at helloween in Wurm Online]]

''This person seems to be able to put up some resistance. These guards will help defend you if you say help.''

'''Tower guard''' is a [[NPC]] that spawns at a [[guard tower]]. Tower guards are aggressive against those from the other [[kingdom]]s, [[outlaw]]s, and hostile [[animal]]s that you ask them to attack.

* If you butcher them, you can get human meat and lose alignment.
* They usually die by the time they are "aged".

For every 10 [[quality]] of the tower you will get '''one''' guard. The minimum quality required to get a tower guard is 10.
There is a maximum of 5 tower guards per tower; any increase in QL above 50 has no impact on numbers and strength of guards, though it will make your tower harder to destroy.

You can ask tower guards to attack a hostile animal that is attacking you (that you are targeting), by yelling ''"help"'' or ''"guards!"'' in Local chat window,
this is case sensitive and must be all lower case in order to call the guards.

Guards will not attack creatures that are not normally aggro, even if they are attacking you. Such as deer or unicorns.

== Fight Skill ==
Tower guards have 35~40 fighting skill. They are stronger than [[brown bear]]s and [[scorpion]]s, but a lot weaker than village [[spirit guards]].
They can gain or lose fighting skill.
The limit is either twice or half the initial skill, whether they kill or get killed a lot.

== Equipping ==
You can equip tower guards with weapons, shields and other items. They will remain on the corpse on death. Anyone from the same kingdom can remove these items.

* [[Jenn-Kellon]] guards have skill in [[longsword]]s
* [[Mol-Rehan]] guards have skill in [[axe]]s
* [[Horde of the Summoned]] guards have skill in [[maul]]s
* All kingdom guards have skill in [[medium shield]]s

== Halloween ==

During halloween, the tower guard model is usually changed to something spooky. Despite their spookiness, the guards remain harmless to allies.

== Tips ==
*Towers placed inside [[deed]] borders will cooperate with [[deed guards]] in dealing with [[Deed#Permissions|lawbreakers]]. Though, pursuit behavior notably differs from the [[deed guards]].

*It is useful to [[keybind|bind]] calling help to a key. To do this - Press F1 to open console and type in Bind {key} "say Help". Replace {key} with the key you wish to bind it to. From now on that key will call the tower guards unless rebound. Additionally, as long as the text consists of "help" or "guards!" it can be customized for fun. Example, "Guards! Kill this sheep-humping thief!"

*Target needs to be within roughly a 20 [[tile]] radius of a Tower for guards to respond. If the target is within 15 tiles of the tower, the guards will always respond. At maximum distance only one guard arrives per call for help. Distance between you and the Target does not matter (NOTE: it may be about 80 tiles maximum, requires more testing), nor does the distance between guard and Target/You.

*Guards will not answer calls for help against targets inside caves, unless they themselves are inside that cave and target is within tower range.

*Guards stuck inside [[caves]] most often won't respond to calls for help on the surface. To prevent guards from entering caves, place mine doors on all nearby entrances.

*Guards can walk though locked gates.

*Calling guards more than once can help as more will respond. This is because upon requesting help, only few will answer and the rest stays available to help with a different creature or to provide additional support to the guards already helping the player. The second request for help will call more guards if there are any more available. It is believed that this is intentional, so that you can personally allocate guards where and when they are needed. Number of guards responding per call seems to depend on total number of guards as well as distance between target and tower.

*Guards automatically attack nearby [[KoS]] and hostile players. Such player needs to be maximum few tiles away from the guard, distance to tower doesn't seem to matter. Guards are very fast and relentless, they may chase you hundreds of tiles away and will continue even if you leave [[KoS]] deed area.

== Description ==

''The monstruously large type of scorpion found in woods and caves here is fairly aggressive.''

'''Scorpion''' is a disproportionately large, aggressive [[animal]], usually found in the forests or in caves. They can be seen easily thanks to their high-profile tails.

*Stronger than a [[Brown bear|bear]] and [[huge spider]].
*Has a good armour.
*Fast attack speed.
*Is able to bash fences and walls.
*Does stinging, clawing and biting damage.
*Can sting 10 damage per hit on unarmoured bodyparts.
*Moves slowly, so can be outrun fairly easily even on grass.
*Cannot be hitched to carts when dominated, as they are too weak.

== Notes ==

Scorpions have very strong armour, someone with 20 small axe skill and 50ql small axes may do 10-15 damage to spiders, but the same stats and equipment may only do 2 damage to scorpions.

== Description ==
''This small, dirty creature looks at you greedily, and would go into a frenzy if you show pain.''

'''Goblin''' is a feisty little green [[animal|creature]] similar in strength to a [[black wolf]].

== Fighting tips ==
These are fairly weak little creatures but they are not to be underestimated. Alone one of these goblins can be a pushover. But if you're caught off guard with a lot of them, it can get messy. They deal many light wounds and sometimes medium wounds, but mostly on your legs, arms and feet (because they are small), and rarely hit you in the head.

They will go into a frenzy if you are low on [[stamina]] and health. Goblins are attracted to any [[fighting]], including fights with any goblins, making it a certain death if you are not paying attention.

==Notes==
*Goblins spawn near [[goblin hut]]s.
*Often found in groups.
*Uses claw and kick attacks.
*Can pass through unlocked doors and gates.

Personal merchant

2013-12-07T00:22:38Z

Jukkken:

== Description ==
''Merchant_<name> is here selling items on behalf of <player>.''

A '''personal merchant''' is an NPC that tries to sell anything you give him to other players. Then you can come back and collect the money.

Unlike [[trader]]s, personal merchants will not buy anything, they only sell items that the owner gives them, and the owner sets the prices.

[[Image:Male merchant.jpg|left|thumb|Male merchant]]
[[Image:Female merchant.jpg|left|thumb|Female merchant]]

== Contract ==
You can buy a [[personal merchant contract]] from a trader for 10 [[silver coin]]s.

You can sell or give the contract to another player, either before placing the merchant or after dismissing it.
Merchants trade ownership when the contract is traded.

If you change [[kingdom]], you will NOT lose the contract anymore, as long as you dismiss the merchant. This has been confirmed by Rudie, Garfunkal, and Longshanks(Hexd). If you fail to dismiss the merchant and switch kingdoms, you will not be able to take items off or add new items too it - but you will still be able to manage prices (Per Rudie).

Placed contracts do not change servers and will remain on the server where the merchant was placed until you return to it. Contracts which are not for placed merchants will transfer servers within the same [[servers|server cluster]].

== Placing ==
Merchant can be placed either inside a finished [[House (general)|house]] or on a tile that has a [[market stall]]. Go on the desired tile, and make sure no other creatures than you are on it. Right-click the Personal merchant contract in your inventory and select 'Manage traders'. Name your merchant, select the gender and click 'Send'. If the name is too long, a random name will be picked for you.

If you want to place a merchant on a [[deed]] in a building as a non-villager, you need to be on the [[writ]] of the building. If the merchant option is set on the deed, non-villagers may place personal merchants in market stalls.

If the building the merchant is in rots away, he will still be able to trade and be managed.

== Stocking ==

To add items to the merchant, right-click him and select '[[Trade]]'. Drag items from your inventory into the Your offer -window, and the merchant will drag them down to his Demand window. Note that the Prices shown there are his evaluations; if you have set the prices manually, the selling prices will be those. (To set the price yourself, right-click the item in your inventory, select Prices > Set price, and set the desired amount of Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron coins you want for the item.) Once finished, check 'You accept'.

You cannot put containers with items in them nor items inside containers onto a merchant, the container must be emptied first.

The inventory limit for a merchant seems to be about 50 - 55 items.

You can remove items from sale by dragging them from merchant's Offer window down to your Demand window and checking 'You accept'. You do not need to pay for them. If the merchant has gained money, he will give that to you as well.

== Managing ==

After placing the merchant, you can manage it by right-clicking the Personal merchant contract in your inventory and selecting 'Manage traders'.

'''Use local price''' means that the merchant will use his local supply when determining price for items. This is the default. Otherwise the price used will be the standard base value for the item.
'''Price modifier''' is the value he will apply to the price; default is 1.4 times the Get Price.
If you set specific prices on items, those prices will be used regardless of these settings.

If you see that the amount of money has increased in the ''Sold'' columns, remember to go to your merchant to collect the money. Note that merchant takes a 10% cut of the sales.

=== Changing Prices ===
To change prices of the items in stock, check '''Manage prices''' and click 'Send'. A window with all the items and their price fields comes up. Note that in a very busy place, the item may be bought before you change the price. To prevent that, begin a Trade session and leave it open to "lock" the merchant until you have set all your prices.

=== Dismissing ===
To dismiss a merchant, for instance to move it somewhere else, check the '''Dismiss''' box and click 'Send'. A dismissed merchant's items and money disappear, so make sure to take them all out beforehand.

==== Forced Dismissing ====
* If you are away for several months, the merchant may leave or be forced to leave with all the items and coins in his inventory.
* Mayors can dismiss merchants on their deed if the owner has not logged on in over one month.
* If the merchant is wizkilled (an instant kill that GM's and developers can do), he is dismissed, but he can still be placed again as usual.

== Notes ==
* You can also do Get Price etc in the Trade window. This will show you the Set Price of the item, if it was set.
* Items held by a Merchant can be Examined, by anyone, via the Trade window.
* Putting large numbers of low-value items on a Merchant is hardly worth the effort, as you have to set the price on each one individually, even if they are all identical.
* You can now sell low quality items when stood next to a Merchant. See [[Sell]] for more information.
