Hi! I tried to make NPC who can be hired like mercenaries now, but for free, so you don't need to give them anything, but I couldn't come up with idea how to do it? Maybe somebody has done it before already?
 
I take 'zero' credit for this. I did not write it and in fact I do not use it on my shard. It was written by Haazen and It was given to me by . . hmm . . cannot remember by who. It is quite old and was written for RunUO.

Anyway maybe you can tinker with it for your shard so he works for 'no pay' or for only a very small amount. Take a look and good luck with it.

Ty PyrO for the response. I tried that by replacing Gold with Kudos (Exchangeable Game Time Reward Tokens). Got this.
Errors:
+ Mobiles/Medic.cs:
CS0246: Line 167: The type or namespace name 'Kudos' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I clearly have Kudos but, it says could not be found... hmm:D

As in the using daat99; statement? Thanks for the help. Not sure how to word it though so,I tried this:
using System;
using Server;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Server.Items;
using Kudos;
using Server.Spells;
using Server.Spells.First;
using Server.Spells.Second;
using Server.Spells.Sixth;
using Server.ContextMenus;
using Server.Misc;
using Server.Mobiles;
using Server.Network;

Same result:(
