NPCs, shops and quests

Click a person in town to talk to them. You need to be within 5 cells of them. The conversation opens at the top left of the screen, with their name across the top and their portrait beside what they say.

The rules

• Walking more than 5 cells away, changing map or teleporting ends the conversation.
• Clicking another NPC starts a new conversation in place of the old one.
• Buying, selling, repairs and quests all need you to stay within the same 5 cells.
• Most shopkeepers will not serve a murderer. With 200 or more PK points they tell you to leave.
• You can drag the conversation anywhere; every box under it moves with it.

When somebody has work for you, an Available quests list appears under the conversation on any page that is not a shop or a counter. Click a row to read the quest in a window beside the conversation.

The list

The Quest window

Pick a shop page in a conversation (Mr. Kang's Weapons, for example) and the goods list opens under it. Your bag opens beside it too, so you can sell.

Buying a potion

1. Click the row. Its edge turns gold.
2. Press + until you have the number you want.
3. Press Buy for …. The button shows the total.

Buying a sword

1. Click the sword's row. The grid opens on the right, and the shop's own button says Pick one on the right.
2. Hover the cells. A second-hand one shows its wear, its price and who sold it.
3. Click the one you want, then Buy for … under the grid.

What you sell to a shop does not vanish. If it is different from a new one, the shop puts it on its shelf and anybody can buy it.

• One shelf per counter, shared by everyone. Newest first. It survives the server restarting.
• Equipment is kept only when it differs from a new one: worn, repaired, refined, dyed, or carrying extra stats. A brand-new sword you sell is simply bought; there is nothing to shelve.
• Things that stack are pooled into one count (“12 left”) when the shop does not make them itself. If it does, the row stays Unlimited.
• The price is what that particular item is worth, at the shop's own rate. A sword worn to nothing costs about three quarters of a new one; extra stats make it dearer.
• A shelf holds 200 items. When it is full, the oldest goes. Nothing decays while it waits.

With a shop open, your bag changes: a click picks an item to sell instead of picking it up. Nothing is sold until you press the button.

1. Open a shop page. The bag opens with it if it was shut.
2. Click each item to sell. It gets a green border; click again to unpick it. Items this shop does not buy are dimmed, and clicking one tells you so.
3. Press Sell (or Sell 3, and so on). Everything picked goes at once, whole stacks included.

What a shop pays

• Half of what the item is worth. A new item is worth its list price; worn down to nothing it is worth three quarters of that, and every repair takes a little more off.
• Extra stats add 10% to the value for each point.
• Each shop buys only certain kinds. A weapon smith buys weapons, a jeweller rings and necklaces, an ore page only ore. Try another counter in the same town.
• You cannot sell what you are wearing or anything locked.

Besides shops, a page of a conversation can open a counter: a box under the conversation where that person does a job for you. You cannot open these with a key; you go to the person.

Some people mention services that are not open yet: master refining, refinement stones, item fragments and weapon crafting are only words on their pages for now.

Press J. Every quest you hold, grouped by where it comes from, with the details of the one you pick.

The rules

• You can hold 25 quests. People still offer quests when your log is full, but accepting one is refused until you finish or abandon something.
• Drag the window's edges to make it bigger.
• A kill only counts if you are the one credited with it. A quest that says in a place counts only kills on that map.
• You can abandon a quest anywhere.

The quests you are working on, written over the world at the top left of the screen. L shows or hides it.

• Each quest's name in gold, and its objectives under it with your count. Both turn green when done.
• A quest you have just taken tracks itself. Untrack it in the log and it stays off.
• What you track is saved with your character, so it is the same on any computer.
• It has no frame: it is words with an outline, so it stays readable over any ground.

In a group, pick a quest in your log and press Share. Everyone else in the group is asked whether they want it.

• It goes to the whole group, however far away they are.
• You have to hold the quest yourself. You can share again after 30 seconds.
• Accept takes the quest where you stand, from nothing: their progress does not come with it. You still need the level, the earlier quests and room in your log.
• Decline says nothing to the sharer.
• Only one offer is open at a time; a new one replaces the old.

Anybody with something for you wears a mark over their head, so you can see from across town who to talk to.

• A daily comes back when the date changes, not 24 hours after you did it.
• A mark does not change the moment a daily comes back; it catches up the next time you talk to somebody, change map or take or hand in a quest.
• An event quest can only be taken while its event is on. The log shows how long is left; you can still hand it in after the event ends.
• Today every quest pays experience, and dailies pay gold as well.

Five notice boards on the Shandam side hand out daily hunts. Click a board as you would a person; the dailies you can take are listed under it.

Every daily

• The board only lists dailies your level is inside. Outgrow one and it stops being offered.
• Each can be done once a day. There is no other daily limit: take every one you qualify for.
• Only kills on the named map count. Killing scarecrows in Border Village does nothing for the Bichon Province board.
• Hand in at the board you took it from.

Storage is not an NPC here. Press S anywhere to look in it; putting things in and taking them out works only in a town's safe zone.

It is shared by every character on your account, holds 100 items to start with, and costs nothing. See Items and the bag for the window itself.
