Servants

Servants are created using a Servant Coffin. Servants can be given commands and tasks to acquire resources for the castle. In order to give commands to your servants you must build a Castle Throne.

Be careful to use servant lock doors on the exterior of your castle/territory. Servants will freely open and close any doors that are not of the servant lock door type.

How to Capture a Servant
After activating Dominating Presence, an ability (default R) Kiss of the Vampire is available. Weakening a human to below 30% HP and using the ability will allow you to channel and "charm" the human. Escort the charmed human (this human can be killed by enemies) back to an available Servant Coffin, and proceed to convert the human into a servant with 100 Blood Essence. It will take 1h 30min in real time to convert a Servant. This can be reduced by 50% (to 45min) if the Servant Coffin is in a room with Crypt Flooring.

Servant Equipment
Servants can be equipped with the following items: chest armor, leg armor, foot armor, hand armor, a weapon, and an accessory. Equipping your servant will raise their Gear Level and Power according to the following equation:

$$PowerLevel = ((9 \times Expertise) + 9) \times GearLevel$$

For example, a Servant with 20% Expertise will have a Power equal to 10.8 ($(9 \times 0.2) + 9$ ) times their Gear Level.

Traits & Quality
The traits of each servant as well as their Expertise are determined upon converting the charmed human into a servant, thus it is recommended to charm a human with higher blood quality as well as the traits desired. The location of capture (Farbane Woods/Dunley Farmlands/Silverlight Hills) also determines what location-based perk they gain.

Each servant perk helps to reduce difficulty of their Castle Throne mission, and can not be stacked. This means that having just 1 servant with that perk is sufficient to lower the difficulty of the mission. You can check the perks required to increase the success rate via the Castle Throne interface.
