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
A Servant's power is directly correlated with its Gear Level & Expertise. All other equipment stats have no effect, including durability level. Servants can be equipped with the following: Weapon, Chest, Leggings, Boots, Gloves & Jewelry Equipment. The total power of a Servant is determined with the equation below:

$$Power Level = 9 \times Gear Level \times (1 + Expertise %)$$

For example, a Servant with 50 Gear Level and 20% Expertise will have a Power of 540. ($Power Level = 9 \times 50 \times (1 + 0.20)$ ) A Servant's expertise is determined randomly on conversion, based on their blood quality. See the table below. ** Unofficial.

Blood Type & Faction Perks
Servants have 2 perks that each will provide a benefit when going on hunts in which the perks are active.

The first perk is based on Blood Type, and will reduce the difficulty of a Hunt in a given location by 100. The second perk is determined by their faction, ie. location of origin, increasing loot gained from succesful hunts in that region by 20%.

Perks do not stack, so sending a diverse group of servants on hunts is advised. The supported perks of each area can be found via the Castle Throne interface. Additionally, parties of 2 / 3 Servants will each gain a +25 / +50 Power Bonus, respectively.
