    I tried searching for the answer but could not find it.

    With the Lord Pledge, we get the Royal Scepter that discounts one person's lot taxes by 50% once per month. What if I bought myself a city lot (Since Lords get a rent-free Town Lot), can I use the scepter on myself each month to lower the cost?

    Thanks and sorry if this has been asked elsewhere.

    I assume so. But I haven't seen that answered specifically before.

    I wonder if the Royal Sceptre stacks with the Royal Orb to grant a free month or does it reduce to 25%.

    One is for lot rent the other for vendor rent.
    And it would be a very strange code if two uses of the same object would make it free. It would take several lines of code and a flag to remember etc.
    instead of the much simpler X*0.5 which would be one row.

    The Orb is for vendor commission I believe.

    Yes, I just double checked the orb is indeed for a vendor, completely misread it.

    I think you can use this on your own lot the way the description in the pledging are is written. Any means any in my book.
    Royal Sceptre

    Help out a friend! Grants the player the ability to reduce the rent of any lot deed by 50% for one month. Can only be used once per month.

    So dirty. Let's not make the game an M rating with our naughty posts. ;)

    Though the thread title is pretty bad too...doh.

    Heh. I am a Lord Pledge as well and think we should start a "Council of Friends" where we just use it on our very lordly selves! ;)
