[[File:Buttons detail.png|left|100px|A detailed image of some buttons.]]
'''Buttons''' are a [[Pay-to-play|members-only]] item that players can obtain by picking the pockets of a [[Male H.A.M. member|male]] or [[female H.A.M. member]], killing H.A.M guards, opening [[Ogre coffin]]s, or by killing [[crawling hands]].

Buttons may also be obtained during the [[digsite]] quest in the north-eastern pit of the digsite and in the [[Fishing Trawler]].

Buttons are not [[stackable items]] - each pile occupies one slot in the [[inventory]]. They are also not tradeable, either to other players or any kind of store.

The default action for buttons is to polish them - this is usually done by left-clicking (see [[Game controls]] for more information), and results in the message: "You rub the buttons on your clothes and they become more shiny." This changes them into [[polished buttons]], which are used in [[Animal Magnetism]]. This requires level 3 [[Crafting]] and grants 5 Crafting experience, and is the only use for buttons.

The [[archaeological expert]] says: "I think these are from the nobility, perhaps a royal servant?"

==Trivia==

*The examine text refers to a pantomime character based on the real-life [[wikipedia:Richard Whittington|Richard Whittington]]. Interestingly, the shortened form of Richard ("Dick") is censored out by the [[chat filter]] in the game. This is also demonstrated by the [[address label]], since players couldn't say "Address" before.
*Buttons were made untradeable after the [[Trade limit]] was put in place due to players scamming others by saying the buttons were rare and valuable.
*Strangely, Polished buttons aren't members-only items, while normal Buttons are. The act of polishing turns Buttons into free to play items.
