Trade Waterways Wandering NPC Guide

There are a number of characters that wander the Abyss who you may encounter. They may be a help, a threat, or simply a distraction. These chance encounters often present you with a choice of interactions that may bring you additional riches or even personality changes.

Bone Picker

"Might I interest you in some slightly used body parts?" (again)

Details
  • Location: Most floors (Districts 1-7 and Ship levels 1 & 2)
  • Interaction Options:
    • The Bone Picker has several items he'll sell to the player:
      • Healing Potions - Always available
      • Adventurer's Remains - 1,000gp - Once every 7 days
      • (If unlocked) Mausoleum Bone Tallow - 10,000gp - Once every 7 days
  • Notes: The cooldown timer on Remains and Tallow appear to be 7 days from the last time collected, not tied to the weekly game reset. If you have insufficient gold, the interaction will be dismissed without affecting any cooldown timers.

Shady Merchant

"These top-quality artifacts can be yours today for the bargain price of 5,000... no only 2,000 gp! Quantities limited, act now before they're gone!"

Details
  • Location: Port Town Districts 1-7
  • Interaction Options: Paying 2,000gp will give you one random but usually good quality Trade Waterways Junk.

Faction NPC

This wandering NPC will be a differnt character on each Faction route, but the interactions are the same. He will first greet you several times,then ask for aid, and eventually reward you with small items and treasures.

Royal Knight

  • Interaction Options:
  • The first few meetings he will simply greet you politely.
  • Twice, he will be 'ailing'. First he requests an Antitoxin, then an Invigorating Draught.
  • After providing both requested items, every subsequent meeting he will gift you a magic scroll, some sellable items, or Sahuagin Scales.
  • Note: If you don't have the item needed or choose not to help, the request will eventually be repeated at a later meeting.

Adventurer-Looking Man

This adventurer is apparently interested in checking out the competition, and maybe improving his odds.

Details
  • Location: District 7 and Ship levels 1 & 2.
  • Interaction Options:
    • The adventurer asks if you're headed to the Arena.
      • Answering yes will randomly trigger either a friendly chat with a small gift, or an attack by a group of Hostile Adventurers.
      • If he attacks, the combat will provide a chest with a moderate amount of gold.

Water God Priestess Regia

"Hello, do you have a minute to talk about our watery sea god?"

Ugo in the Ship's Hold
