The Butler is a type of Non-Player Character (NPC) in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) known for his role in assisting players with various tasks related to their Player-Owned Houses (POHs). He is primarily used in conjunction with the Construction skill and serves as an important helper for players looking to manage their homes more efficiently.

Location

The Butler can be found in the vicinity of Varrock, specifically at the Remington area, where he resides near the player’s house. He can be summoned to assist players that have a POH built in this area.

Role and Functions

The primary function of the Butler is to act as a servant to players, providing several essential services that facilitate the management of the player’s house. These services include:

• Fetching Materials: The Butler will retrieve materials for the player, which can be used for construction or to fulfill other needs within the house. This ability allows players to gather resources without needing to leave their homes or make multiple trips.
• Moving Furniture: Players can instruct the Butler to move furniture items within the house. This is useful for re-arranging the layout or when upgrading furniture without having to demolish existing pieces.
• Paying the Butler: To keep the Butler working, players need to pay him a small fee, usually amounting to a few coins, which can vary depending on the type of service requested.
• Assisting with Quests: In certain quests that pertain to the player’s house, the Butler may lend his assistance or be a requirement for quest progression.

Dialogue and Interaction

The Butler has a unique dialogue system that allows players to interact with him seamlessly. Players can speak to the Butler to access his services and inquire about various tasks. His responses often reflect a polite and formal tone, typical of a dedicated servant.

Requirements

To employ the Butler, players must have a Player-Owned House in the area of Remington or have completed certain quests that introduce them to the Butler as a character. Additionally, players will need to ensure they have enough coins to pay for his services.

Tips for Players

Utilizing the Butler effectively can save players a significant amount of time when managing their Player-Owned Houses. Here are some tips for maximizing the Butler’s utility:

• Always keep a stock of coins on hand to pay for his services, as running low can hinder house operations.
• If working on high-volume construction projects, consider using the Butler’s material-fetching ability to maintain a steady flow of resources.
• Experiment with different furniture arrangements using the Butler’s moving service – this can lead to discovering new layouts that improve both aesthetics and functionality.
