NPC Interaction Tips
Immortal Realm Important NPCs Reference: Who to Talk To reference table
| Tip |
Detail |
| Listen for ambient text |
Some NPCs speak quietly; you have to be near them |
| Whisper for private dialogue |
Some NPCs respond differently to whispers |
| Don't hit civic NPCs |
Triggers Civic Justice crime tracking |
| Talk to senior Order members |
They handle more complex interactions than juniors |
| Be patient with curators |
Some shops only open after demonstrating progress |
Common Mistakes
- Looking for an exclamation point. UO NPCs don't have quest markers. Find them through context.
- Skipping ambient dialogue. Many quests start with overheard NPC speech.
- Treating named NPCs as flavor. They're the system's actual interface.
- Asking junior Order members for senior actions. A Clerk can't issue a Crown Writ; that needs a player Recorder+ at the Civic Authority gump. Bail Contracts also need Recorder+; Parole Deeds need Witness+; Writ Promotion needs Arbiter+.
- Hitting an NPC by accident. Civic Justice flags you. Be careful in busy cities.
