Tower guard
Description
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 kingdoms, outlaws, and hostile animals 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.
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.
Fight Skill
Tower guards have 35~40 fighting skill. They are stronger than brown bears and scorpions, 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 longswords
- Mol-Rehan guards have skill in axes
- Horde of the Summoned guards have skill in mauls
- All kingdom guards have skill in medium shields
Halloween
During halloween, the tower guard model is usually changed to something spooky. Despite their spookiness, the guards remain harmless to allies.
Tips
It is use full to bind saying Help local 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.
Guards only need to be close top the Target , not you , This you can call them on a target far away from you.
Calling guards more than once can sometimes help as more will respond. (BUG?)
