Mook Remake - Layers

[Kinaed]

Layer 1: Set mobs with an @<guild> desc. If a mob has it, and a player orders the mob around, the mob will comply.

Layer 2: Mob special abilities:
- guard an exit
- aggressive targeting of a specific intro
- record RP events in a room for reporting
- prevent actions in a room
- ... other ideas...?

[Estelle]

How many mobs are we talking about here?

[Kinaed]

I imagine guilds would buy them the way people purchase retainers, from a guild-only shop.

Reminds me - we need a way to retool mobs that are purchased.

[Estelle]

I think that would be a good idea. Not too cheap, however, and with a maximum limit?

[Kinaed]

How much do you think they should cost, and how many do you think the limit ought to be?

[Estelle]

I really am not sure; I would wager they should cost perhaps as much as a bodyguard at the trading post, except with more capabilities added.

Also perhaps a limit of 5 per guild or something, else noble guild could get 100 through starting gold alone. :D

[Enix]

I like this, and as well, you could tie this in with ALSO helping combat skills or ordering them to set up for a spar or somthing, give them some wooden weapons and order them to wield

[Kinaed]

Add also:

- repairing EQ
- teaching skills? - Have players teach mobs skills, and from there mooks can teach players?

[Kinaed]

Anything else Mooks should do? I'm percolating on them.
