Sacred:NPC

An NPC (NonPlayingCharacter) is a character in Ancaria that you can interact with, not associated with a player in the game; they are controlled by the game itself. Some of them play special roles, such as Quest Givers, Smiths, Merchants and Combo Masters. Others merely converse with you. What the NPC says may provide useful information later in the game. It may also be an indication of your esteem in the "community". The more quests you complete, the more you are appreciated.

In Sacred Underworld

NPC's are shown as blue or white dots on the minimap. White indicates that the NPC will interact with a quest; blue NPC's will just speak with you.

In Sacred 2:Fallen Angel

Only NPC's that you can interact with are indicated on the map or minimap. These will always be quest givers and are indicated by a question mark ? icon or an exclamation ! icon.

	White ? icons indicate an NPC who is offering a quest or continuing an already begun quest.		White ! icons indicate that you should speak to the NPC to continue a quest in progress or receive a reward. *An exception to this is the "Epic Office Quest" Easter Egg. The task of which is to talk to all the missing Ascaron employees in order to gain entrance to the Ascaron office.
	Gold ? icons indicate an NPC who is offering a Campaign quest or continuing an already begun Campaign quest.		Gold ! icons indicate that you should speak to the NPC to continue a quest in progress or receive a reward.
	Blue ? icons indicate an NPC who is offering a quest that is specific to your character or continuing an already begun Character quest.		Blue ! icons indicate that you should speak to the NPC to continue a quest in progress or receive a reward.
