One was previewed on ESO Live today.. a fence you can summon! Although they will take more of the profits than a normal fence will.

There will also be a personal banker and a personal vendor later on.

When you summon an assistant they take place of your pet. They are trying to make it so the assistant disappears when you enter combat.

It was also mentioned they are earned via Thieves Guild.

    I'm REALLY excited about a personal banker. They mentioned the fence will give you less gold for items than a regular fence... didn't mentioned the banker. Sure hope there aren't "banker fees" or anything!

    you know there will be probably access the bank for x cost not per item but if you think about it when farming would make runs last longer( I use a guild bank that the guild died out long ago a lot to store goods to transfer over) so this would be great even if it was just to store items because I am full and want to keep going haha

    It sounds like for TG DLC there will be one type of assistant released, the smuggler, and that future types will be released in later DLCs? Is that correct? (Yes, I know I'm full of questions today) :smile:

    Maybe the banker can be used to bank Tel Var stones in IC.

    Wait. I remember seeing something on screen about Cyrodiil.

    Just checked the past broadcast. On mousever (over the Fence assistant) it says they cannot be called in Cyrodiil. @Shader_Shibes

    I imagine this is because they take the place of your pet.. and pets aren't allowed in Cyrodiil.

    Just re-listened and you're correct. Rich says "there will also be a personal banker and vendor later on".

    You will be able to purchase the different types of assistants through the crown store..............for convenience.
    I wonder how much they will actually be.

    Hmm, that sounds pretty cool.

    Of course, what I was really hoping for was an assistant with a butterfly net who would catch all of the insects within a certain radius of you while you walk around, so that you collect fishing bait. And maybe another one with a bunch of mouse traps that kills all of the rodents within a certain radius of you while you walk around, so that you collect guts for bait. And stuff.

    I'd take this, not for the bait, but just to get all the bugs away from the chests / resource nodes and prevent me from ambushing rats every 10 minutes.

    if so, let's hope the banker isn't gankable.

    @Lylith @GlassHalfFull You could see during ESO Live it stated you cannot summon your fence in Cyrodiil (which IC is considered part of) so pretty sure the banker when it comes won't be either.

    Haha. I would then shake my head at anyone who bought it... Since you can buy the whole DLC for that... And during the DLC you earn it.

    Yea but i'm thinking its going to just be the smugglers assistant in the DLC just to get us........"hooked" lol
    The other assistants will be crown store cause its purely...........Convenience. I don't have a problem with it though. I am pretty sure this will end up happening.

    Sooo... Sounds like my concept here (http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/149698/summonable-beast-merchants-and-banker-concept/p1)... glad to hear they are adding this functionality.

    If the "merchant" isn't a mudcrab... Imma be sad. :disappointed:

    my remark was mostly in jest, but i certainly appreciate the information as i've not seen the most recent ESO live.

    thank you. :)

    I hope at least some of these assistants are not tied to the Thieves' Guild as an organization (as in, I don't have to be a member to get them). I may help them on the side, but some of my characters are above joining their filthy ranks.
    I don't want to force my righteous altmer to join criminal scum just to get the vendor assistant she so rightfully deserves.

    ...well in ESO Live they appeared to be in the collections menu. So I'm thinking they are account wide? Only need 1 thief!

    When I first read that we would be able to summon an assistant well let's just say that's not what I had in mind. Fencer, banker, vendor...Is your goal to turn towns into ghost towns?

    What's next? Summon a crafting table? Seriously, who comes up with that stuff? Do you guys have a book of bad ideas?
