Tavern

Taverns are part of the civil service family which provide shelter to players, as well as a bed, food and a place to refresh, restock and prepare for tackling the next adventure. Taverns are great places to log a character out, because they will accrue a "Replenished" buff which increases movement speed and all primary attributes by 15% as long as it lasts. For each hour spent in a bedroom, the character gains 10 minutes of this buff (stacking to a maximum of 180 minutes). The buff begins counting down whenever the character leaves the bedroom.

Features
There are a number of reasons a player might visit a tavern on their character. There are quite often role-playing activities going on in a tavern, such as fable-telling (Verrinari), drinking games or just socialising. They also rent out bedrooms for short-term stays, offer meals and other food, tend to your vehicles or steeds, and sometimes even offer local quests.

Accomodation
Talking to the Bartender will give you options to book a room. Cost varies depending on the region and quality of the area. Once purchased, you will have be able to access one of the tavern's bedrooms, usually upstairs, where you will gain the Replenished buff. You can now safely log out and let the buff accrue over time, so that your character is charged and ready to go next time you log in.

The next time you log in and leave the bedroom, it will lock behind you and you'll need to book one again.

Refectory
The refectory is a part of the tavern that serves meals and food to the hungry traveller. Certain foods provide different 'food buffs'. After logging in with a replenished buff, acquiring a further food buff is a great way for any player to begin their adventures.

Some larger taverns also have a Culinary Instructor who can teach certain recipes to players who have picked up the Catering hobby. Chefs may also sometimes offer players quests to hunt down exotic foods or ingredients.

Garage & Stables
Around the back of the tavern is where you probably parked your steed or vehicle, and rest assured that they are well-taken care of by the tavern tenders. Any damage that had been sustained will be restored, compliments of the house.

Entertainment
In larger taverns, players might find a gaming salon with card tables and billiards, where they can face off against other players or participate in competitions.
