Guide
The guide will help you locate shops inside cities and towns. Double-click the guide or select the "Find a Shop" option on his contextual menu. If you are not close enough to a town, a system message will say, "There are no shops nearby. Please try again when get to a town or city."
If you are close enough, a menu will appear showing you all the shops the guide can lead you to. Locate the one you want and press the blue diamond.

You can also leave your herald in your house to greet visitors. The herald will stay put if you logout. He will say things such as:
- Welcome to the home of [Owner Name]. Please keep your shoes off the furniture.

- *squints* Not you again! Fine, fine... whatever... come on in, I suppose. *sighs*
- Welcome to this humble marketplace. If you need any assistance [Owner Title] [Owner Name] will be glad to help you.
- Come Friend! Enter [Owner Title] [Owner Name]'s wondrous shop of many things! If you can't find it here, I suggest you go somewhere else!
- *Looks [Visitor Name] over with narrowed eyes, scowling, and points to the sign on the wall* "Reagents for spell casting only. Please do not eat!"
Lucky Dealer
The lucky dealer is a gambler's best friend. He can 1 four-sided die up to 4 one-hundered-sided dice. Double-click the lucky dealer or select the "Roll Dice" option on its contextual menu. The dice selection menu will appear. You can select 1 to 4 dice to be rolled and whether those dice have 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, or 100 faces. Pressing roll will have the dealer randomly generate the results and announce them to all in this fashion:
- Name of Roller - Number of Dice/Faces of Dice - Amount on each individual die - Combined Total
For example if the dealer says, "Frank rolls 2d12: 5, 11 [Total: 16]" it means that a player named Frank picked 2 dice with 12 faces each to be rolled. One die came out as 5 and the other 11. The combined total of both dice is 16.
- Anyone can open the dice menu on your lucky dealer and have a roll
- Rolling too many times in a short time span will cause a few second delay
Fortune Teller
The fortune teller can give you answers to your question. Or rather, give you some random responses. The answers given have no bearing on the question asked and are random everytime. This personal attendant is more of a novelty and is the least useful of the bunch.
Double-click the fortune teller or select the "Tell Fortune" option on its contextual menu. A menu appears asking for a question. Type in the question you want answered and press OK. A board will appear displaying your question and 3 cards. If you have Tool Tips enabled you can mouse over each card to get the meaning.
- The question has no bearing on the answer
- Only the master of the Fortune Teller can ask questions
- Can only be female
