'''I see towers and tower guards. What are they?'''
:[[Guard tower]]s are scattered around the islands; they are there to protect you! Around each of them you will find a number of special NPCs (“Non-player characters”), the tower guards. You can call out for them to help you against hostile creatures, but only if the creature is not too far from the guard tower (technically: within 20 tiles) and the creature has been “targeted” by you, i.e. it already attacked you and thus appears in your “target window”. To call the guards use your “Local” chat tab and enter “help” or “guards!” (without quotation marks). If the creature targeted is within tower range every call for help will alert 2 of the guards to run and attack it. After a cooldown time of 10 seconds you can call again and alert the next 2 guards to join in. (A guard tower can have a maximum of 6 5 guards; usually there are only 5.(Some special types of towers can even have more).<br><br>
