SoloQuest Hired Bots

Adventurer Liaisons are in a tavern or inn near the gates of every city, in the Plane of Knowledge, in the Bazaar, and at every Wayfarer camp. Look for them on the Find menu.
One hired bot at a time.
End the contract by camping the bot with ^camp, or by telling the Liaison to dismiss it.

Set by your level, up to 500 platinum an hour at level 65.
Billed every 20 minutes, with the first payment due when you hire.
Payments come from your bank first, then your shared bank, then the coin you are carrying.
If you cannot pay, the contract ends and the bot leaves.
As long as the bot is out in the world, you are paying for it.

Bots arrive equipped based on your account progression, your level, and the power of the gear you are wearing (or your corpse is wearing).
You cannot take their gear, and it is lost if you replace it with your own.
Take your own gear back with ^inventoryremove. Any of your gear still on the bot when the contract ends comes back to you by parcel from the Wayfarers Brotherhood. Self-found characters can collect these parcels.
Bots have no AAs until level 60, and nothing beyond Luclin until level 65, when Planes of Power abilities open up.

Remove a bot from your group and it stays parked where you left it, ready when you need it.
If you die with the bot in your group, it comes to your bind point with you.
If you die with the bot parked and your bind is in the same zone, it stays where you parked it.
If you die with the bot parked and your bind is in another zone, it comes to your bind point with you and rejoins your group.
If your bot dies, it leaves your group and reappears at the zone's succor point at 20% health and no mana, with Resurrection Sickness, its buffs and its pet gone. Once you are out of combat, ^summon it and invite it back.
If you log out, the bot camps with you and billing pauses until you log back in.

The experience penalty makes leveling alongside a bot deliberately inefficient. A bot is for the fight you can't otherwise win, not for the grind.
