23.5.4 House Mobs
A house mob is a mobile you can purchase for your house/haven. Unlike pets, the mobile can never leave the confines of your house. House mobs can only be purchased by the owner of the house. The basic price of a house mob is 200 credits, which gets you: - The mob itself (including fully customized descriptions and name) - Mob will be level 20 (See note) - The ability to move it about via tells - The ability to order it to wander, or remain still. - Resets to a defined room in your house in case of death. House mobs are non-refundable. Note: Mob levels do not correspond directly to player levels. A level 20 mob is roughly equivalent to something like a Cerberus from the Great Rock, a level 120 mob to a squirrel from Kalydian, and a level 220 mob to a weaker end-game area mob. Actual bashing area mobs will often have attacks that are stronger than their actual level, so your results may vary. Beyond these basic features, you can purchase the following addons: Env. Confined 15cr Mob cannot wander into a different environment. Sentience 25cr Grants the mob the ability to speak and emote. Coward 25cr Flees the room whenever it's attacked. Guardian 50cr Responds to any other house mobs you have nearby when they are attacked, like a guard. Teacher 100cr Mob is capable of teaching skills. Sentry 100cr Attacks people on your enemy list if they walk in the room Blackjack* 100cr Blackjack dealer (comes with table) Roulette* 100cr Roulette dealer (comes with table) Farkle* 100cr Farkle dealer (comes with table) Tough 150cr +100 levels, can be purchased twice. *Note: Blackjack, Roulette, and Farkle need to be on separate mobs, and cannot be in the same room. You will need to contact Razmael to set those features up. House mobs can also use the reactions system to give them life. Refer to HELP REACTIONS for more information. GUIDELINES ---------- * Mundane mobs only. That means no Dragons, unicorns and other sorts of extraordinary beast. * There must be already an existing type of mob in Aetolia that is the same type of creature as the mob you are ordering.
