Question about "odd" player owned NCPs...

[EvilPixieWorks]

I'm honestly sorry I dont have a better description. I was searching out all my shop runes, of my shopping pixie, to see what shops still stood and what ruins are now bad. Dread to say... over 70% of my 5 year old runes are all bad.

BUT... I saw these 2... that were dressed as guards, called guards... and were NOT vendors. They had no menu or options. They acted every bit like mannequins... but I honestly dont know.

I dont think they were personal assistants… or whatever we got several years ago. If I didnt know better, I would assume they were something else. You can only see a paperdoll. They dont act like barkeeps... not unless they have been changed in the last 4-5 years.

I would say these non-active "guards" were just "guards"... BUT then I saw another one, named something different... but I didnt think to mark a rune. The first rune that had these "guards" had been re-marked. I just dont have the space to keep ahold of useless runes... so I didnt even remotely think the save it, when I discovered the 2 from the first time.

Anyone have any ideas?

Again... I'm sorry I dont have more data. I didnt think this would be a big issue when I first happened upon it. Now its part of many questions I have been building in getting back up to speed.

Stewards ?

Yep. Garth is right, they're Stewards. The steward can be renamed and you cannot interact with them unless you are the owner. save for if the owner gives them a keyword, then they will drop one item in your pack every 24 hrs. they were made that way for player ran events. to set them up for a "quest"

Some people I know use them as auxiliary bartenders and load them with the booze made by their characters, or taken from the pirate caches.

I use one for that... The RP community on GLs used a series of them at different RP owned places to lead people on a hunt one year for the Easter bunny I think...
