Servant

A servant is an NPC that players can hire for various services in their player-owned house. There are five different servants, each having a higher Construction level requirement and offering better services than the last.

Players can hire a servant at the Servants' Guild, which is located north of the marketplace in East Ardougne. All five servants wander inside the building except for the servant the player has hired. Before hiring any servant, the player must meet three requirements:

• The player must have the required Construction level.
• The player's house must have at least two bedrooms with beds constructed in each one. If one of the beds is removed, then the servant will not become present again until the bed is rebuilt and the player exits and re-enters the house.
• The player must not have a servant already hired.

If the player wants to fire or switch servants, the player must fire their current servant by either talking to them in the player's house, or by talking to the Chief servant at the Servants' Guild.^[1]

The services provided by servants can be cosmetic or vital resources for training Construction efficiently. All of the servants have the same basic services, but the main difference is that the higher-level servants have larger inventories and quicker response times. All of the servants can:

• Be summoned using the bell-pull in the dining room, or through the Call Butler button on the House Options interface if a bell-pull is present.

• Follow the player like a pet if there are still items to claim from them, even in building mode
• Greet visiting players as they enter the house
• Lead visiting players to the owner if the owner is in another room
• Lead visiting players outside
• Serve tea to the owner
• Serve food to the owner and the visiting players provided the player has a dining room with a table and a kitchen with the necessary supplies
• Serve drinks from the barrel to the owner and the visiting players
• Fetch building materials from the bank:
  • Plank
  • Oak plank
  • Teak plank
  • Mahogany plank
  • Soft clay
  • Limestone brick
  • Steel bar
  • Bolt of cloth
  • Gold leaf
  • Marble block
  • Magic stone
• Take items to the bank
• Un-note noted items (excluding bones), taking the same amount of time as fetching from the bank

The cook, butler, and demon butler can also take logs to the sawmill for conversion into planks. Noted logs can be used, but the servant must first un-note them and upon returning to the player with the un-noted logs, they'll be automatically deposited to the player's inventory, the player has the option of having the servant take them to the sawmill if the player talks to the servant again.

Servants only accept money directly from the player's inventory or by storing coins in a servant's money bag.

After using a servant's paid services eight times, players are required to either pay or fire them. The servant cannot be used for anything else before the payment is made; the servant will temporarily keep the items and will not give them until the player pays. Any items that the servant is holding will be deposited in the bank if the player leaves the house or if the servant is fired.
