The Butler is an NPC(Non-Playable Character) which can be used like a house addon that allows the storage and retrieval of items you would normally use to adventure with such as [[Reagents]], [[Potions]], [[Bandages]], [[Arrows]], [[Orange_Petals|Orange Petals]] and the butler will even store and help you don your [[Armor#Leather|Leather Armor]]! This is an instant transfer of your stored items to your character that can even be chosen to be bagged up or equipped which allows only a few clicks to become restocked. In addition to this quick restock, the items contained on the Butler do not count against the homes storage limit, which makes a great addition to your home maximum storage limits!
The Player Vendor can be added to public houses to sell all your various goods and items. There are currently four types of player vendors, the original vendor contract, player rental contract, long term vendor contract, and long term player rental contract.


The Butler works much like a Barkeep or Player Vendor Rental Contract where you have a deed you purchase to place in your home and then options to dress and give commands to the NPC. The Butler Contracts are available from the [[Exotic_Item_Vendor|Nadine the Exotic Item Donation Vendor]] located in front of the [[Britain|West Britain Bank]] and is purchasable with [[Donation_Coin|25000 Donation Coins]]. You can have a maximum of 2 butlers per home, however this can be increased with [[Butler_increase_deed|Butlers Increase Deeds]] up to a maximum of 10 Butlers per home! However, for those with more extravagant homesteads, separate Butlers can be assigned to the outside of these homes which could increase the maximum number of Butlers to 20 for a particular property.
Basically, this allows for players to either do their own vendors with the vendor contract or offer rental space to other players with the player rental contracts. The newest change is the addition of the Long Term contracts.
