Taverns are special places, or in some cases a whole map with tagged with the [Tavern] tag, that are intended to RP and have some special mechanics.

Finding a tavern

Most large cities have a tavern, most of them can be easily be spotted by advertisement boards displaying what alcohols are on sale on that moment and a bartender NPC selling them.

When a character enters an area defined as a tavern will present an accompanying entry flavour text. This text is displayed once every 30 seconds to avoid spamming messages.

Leaving those special areas will also display an exit flavour text.

Tavern Effects

State changes

The normal behavior for states will stop, as rest, food and thirst will not decrease.

Resting

Allows resting to above 50%, as areas with the [Rest] tag.

Special beverages

Some player made drinks will have additional duration (90 instead of 30 minutes) and they will last through resting.

Tavern Management

Some taverns are also have quarters and shops inside them, and the owner has the following power and responsibilities:

Quarter
- Evict any room owner.
- Gain 45% of the 45% of purchase price when interior quarter is bought.
Shops
- Can check the shop sales log and evict their owner.
- Gain 45% of the purchase price when a shop is bought.

Taxes
- All taxes/maintenance costs paid by Tenants go DIRECTLY to the Tavern Owner, so if each quarter owner feels their quarter is not secure and raises their Lock / Trap power, the tavern tax will be raised.
- Pays 3x maintenance for each interior quarter when unoccupied.

Bartendering

Some taverns also allow to work as a server to gain ranks and experience.

The taverns that allow this mechanic are easily identified because as they have advertisement boards with a randomly generated list of drinks in the area so players can see what it is available and different placeables inside that the server can pur them.

The list of drinks available, which changes each reset, will be a combination of a quality, location and drink type.

To start working as a server, seek the NPC bar recruiter and the "Server" tag will appear on your character name while in the tavern.
