Runes of Magic US / AU

1) They don't share fatigue. They're independent so if you hit the "chat" option for housekeeper A, they will get 15 fatigue. The others will not.

2) Yes, I guess so. I have one physical attack buffs and 5 others all for crafting so I can guarantee myself plenty of unbridled and galloping gales.

3) Yes, if I am understanding you correctly, yes you can have more than one embrace. My attack housekeeper for example gives 6% PATT and 1,200 attack power OR it gives physical critical hit rate but you can't have all THREE.

Adding onto what Acet said, personally I have two full physical attack NPCs, you don't necessarily get the buff (on occassion I've had really bad luck and not gotten it from all 8 uses from both my housekeepers).

That and if you do get your buff for siege or whatever it is you need it for you may end up running an instance later in the day or something so it's helpful to have multiple buff housekeepers.

As far as crafting goes, max all of your housekeepers with crafting, it's good if you don't get what you want from crafting most of the potions that are useful come from crafting levels below 80.

@3, Acet they're asking about having Protection and Magic, yes and no you can have them at the same time but it's overly complicated to and they get overwritten easily, you can have Mcrit and %HP or %Defense.

You can't however have it the opposite way unless you have low level protection buffs since the protection npcs always give a % buff.

Thanks for that!

So if I understood your post correctly, it is important to have every housekeeper have crafting maxed to 80, but not overly important to max 100? I had some trouble waiting for a 100 crafter with 100 Charisma.

Would 100 cooking be more important than 80 cooking, or would it not matter that much, like with crafting?

Lastly, I read your house is shared by all characters in your entire account?

Cooking determines what level food you're getting so yeah it's important, this link might help you a bit better

The only potions you lose by not having a housekeeper that's level 81+ are aggro potions and a 50% speed increase potion that lasts for 10 seconds.

A little more clarification.

Housekeepers are per character basis. You cannot access housekeepers from another character even if it's on the same account.

With regards to buffs, you cannot have multiple curriculum buffs at the same time, however, once the affinity/level reaches 76+ (from memory so might be off a level or two) you start getting multiple buffs. One being a fixed amount and the other being a percentage. So if you choose Protection Curriculum you would get a flat hp and a percentage hp or a flat def and a percentage def. (Just one example)

If you want to insure that you get a Luck potion keep one house keeper at 40 chat . In addition the food that it gives adds different than the food you get a 100 and you can have both on at the same time. The food your get at level 40 adds to critical hit rate and the food you get at 100 adds to attack so by having a level 40 you can get and use both at the same time.
Gives you a much better success rate I have 1 houskeeper at 100 cooking for the best food. Charisma isn't that important unless you need a lot of potions it doesn't make better potions only more and usually you can get more than enough.
