NPCs are not identical to each other. There are three different groups of NPCs.
  
 
=== Normal NPC ===
 
=== Normal NPC ===
The normal NPC is the simplest form of the NPCs. There is usually little [[Life Points]] and little [[Attack Strength]], but can drop a nice amount of gold. Known NPCs of this type are the [[Old Man | Old Man]], the [[silver fox]] or the [[Spirit of Pur Pur]].

=== [[Unique-NPC]] ===

=== [[Unique-NPC]]s ===
A far more powerful NPC-type are the Unique NPCs. Since these [only with single strokes [[strike]] may, and usually on a much higher [[Attack Strength|attack]]s and [[Life Points]] number feature, it makes sense against a [[group]] to fight them, or weaken it with [[firearms]] too. Furthermore, can never be two identical Unique NPCs on the [[World]] exist (an exception is) the [[Tower Spirit]], from which there can be several.

The youngest, but that stubborn generation of NPCs are the group NPCs. These have a very high attack power and have a very high number of health points. These NPCs are only affected by the group-harm and may even have an immunity to firearms.

The latest, but the most persistent generation of NPCs are the Party-NPCs. They call very high [[Attack Power|attack powers]] and huge numbers of [[Life Points]] their own. These NPC's can '''only''' be harmed when killing them in a [[Party|party]]. Some of them are even immune to [[Ranged Weapons|ranged weapons]]. Just as the Unique-NPCs do, Party-NPCs are able to move independently or defend themselves.
  
Mostly, however, is worth the trouble to kill those NPCs, because they can drop including coveted neck parts.

+
== EP-Output of NPCs ==
The release of [[XP]] in the victory against an NPC is from 0 to remove, for example, when [[Jerodar Apprentice]], to as little as 20 to remove the water phantom. However, we do not get XP when the XP 5 times higher than the Academy-limit and you have at least 5000 XP.
+
The output of [[EP]] in the case of a victory in a fight against a NPC ranges from 0 [[EP]], e.g. when killing the [[Jerodar Apprentice]], to as much as 20 [[EP]], when killing the [[Water Wraith]]. You will not get any [[EP]] when your amount of [[EP]]s is five times hight then your Academy-Limit and you can call least 5000 [[EP]] your own.
  
 
== Gold from NPCs ==
 
== Gold from NPCs ==
Each NPC drop after his death of a certain amount of [[gold]], which ranges from 0 gold coins (Example: [[snake]]) up to 200 gold coins (Example: [[father of the sting shot Hedgehog]]). By the [[character's ability]] [[pillage]], these amounts can be increased. The amount of gold may also increase if the NPC for some time was not killed. In this way an NPC can drop in a kill up to 10,000 gold coins when there about a month was not killed, but there are 500 gold coins bonus after just one days. This is so to speak Golddropbonus "accumulated funds" of the NPC. However, some NPCs are excluded from Golddropbonus, see [[Category:NPCs without Golddropbonus]].
+
Each NPCs drops after its death a cartain amout of [[Gold Coins|gold]], which ranged from 0 [[Gold Coins]] (e.g. [[Rattlesnake]]) up to 200 [[Gold Coins]] (e.g. [[Father of Spineshot Hedgehogs]]). By learning the [[Skill|skill]] [[Plünderung]] these amounts can be increased. The amount dropped by the NPC you are about to kill increases automatically, if the NPC is not killed for a certain period of time. In doing so a NPC can accumulate an amount of [[Gold Coins|gold]] as high as 10.000 [[Gold Coins]], if it was not killed for a month or so. There is a bonus of 500 [[Gold Coins]] rewarded as soon as the NPC was not killed for a day. This so-called golddropbonus is actually nothing more than "accumulated funds" of this NPC. However, some NPCs are excluded of this goldropbonus (have a look at [[Category:NPCs without Golddropbonus]]).

After each feeding it is again possible to extend the shelf by the [[Staff of Magic]] or [[Rod of the great magic]] too.

translation of plünderung, schlachthof, futterstelle as it is ingame

As NPC (Non-Player Character) are all creatures or characters called, which are not played by Players. These inhabit in large numbers, the Freewar World.

Most of them are exist to be killed in order to get EP, Gold and possibly Dropitems too. Some NPCs also play a role in Quests.

Has a NPC been killed it respwans after a while and can again be attacked and killed.

You can find NPCs with totally different attack powers, ranging from Shadow Weasels or Hares, which can be easily killed by a beginner without loosing no more than a Life Point, to the Old Grotto Snake, for which you should have a few hundred thousand EPs.

Since 21 October 2006 some of the NPCs have got their own image.

NPC-Species

NPCs are not identical to each other. There are three different groups of NPCs.

Normal NPC

The normal NPC is plainest form of NPCs. Usually they do have very little Lif Points and also very little Attack Power, but they mostly drop a nice amount of gold coins. Best known NPCs of this type are the Old Man, the Silver Fox or the Spirit of Pur Pur.

You can only have fights to death with this kind of NPCs.

Unique-NPCs

A far more powerful type of NPCs is the Unique-NPC. Since these can only be struk by single strokes and they have a much higher attack power as well as a much higher number of Life Points, it is advisable to fight them in a party, plus to weaken it by using ranged weapons in the first place. Furthermore there can never exist two identical Unique-NPCs worldwide. The only exception is the Tower Spirit, which can exists several times.

Many Unique-NPCs can move independently or defend themselves by incapacitating the player, poisoning him, etc.

Party-NPCs

The latest, but the most persistent generation of NPCs are the Party-NPCs. They call very high attack powers and huge numbers of Life Points their own. These NPC's can only be harmed when killing them in a party. Some of them are even immune to ranged weapons. Just as the Unique-NPCs do, Party-NPCs are able to move independently or defend themselves.

However, it is mostly worth the trouble of killing one of those NPCs, since they might drop a desired amulet.

EP-Output of NPCs

The output of EP in the case of a victory in a fight against a NPC ranges from 0 EP, e.g. when killing the Jerodar Apprentice, to as much as 20 EP, when killing the Water Wraith. You will not get any EP when your amount of EPs is five times hight then your Academy-Limit and you can call least 5000 EP your own.

Gold from NPCs

Each NPCs drops after its death a cartain amout of gold, which ranged from 0 Gold Coins (e.g. Rattlesnake) up to 200 Gold Coins (e.g. Father of Spineshot Hedgehogs). By learning the skill Plünderung these amounts can be increased. The amount dropped by the NPC you are about to kill increases automatically, if the NPC is not killed for a certain period of time. In doing so a NPC can accumulate an amount of gold as high as 10.000 Gold Coins, if it was not killed for a month or so. There is a bonus of 500 Gold Coins rewarded as soon as the NPC was not killed for a day. This so-called golddropbonus is actually nothing more than "accumulated funds" of this NPC. However, some NPCs are excluded of this goldropbonus (have a look at).

How to

shrink NPCs

NPCs can be found by using a Unified Soul Capsule, a Great Soul Capsule or normal Soul Capsules, a Soul Sphere, Visions of the Mindless, a Soul Pyramid or simply by walking around a looking for them.

evoke NPCs

NPCs can be evoked by using a Lesser Summoning of the Mindless or a normal Summoning of the Mindless, a Resurrection Mist, a Greater Resurrection Mist, a Global Resurrection Spell, Beautiful Weather, Local Resurrection Spell, Greater Local Resurrection Spell, Summoning Spell of Pironians or the Skill Hunting.

shrink NPCs

NPCs can be shrunken by using a Shrinking Spell. By doing so they will turn into magical items, which will last as long as 7 days. Their durability can be extended once by using a Wand of Magic or a Wand of Greater Magic. In addition, their durability can extendend by feeding them with Pet Food or feedng them at the Futterstelle in the Valley of the Ruins, which provides again a durability of 7 days. You can feed your little pet as often as you want and you are yet again able to extend its durability by using a Wand of Magic or a Wand of Greater Magic. The shrinkage is either used to sell the shrunken NPC at the Schlachthof or for the fulfillemnt of a quest. Nevertheless, some players might just shrink a NPC to keep it as a pet.

NPCs and quests

Concerning the freewar worlds NPCs can play different roles. For some quests you only need to bring a few items to them in order to fulfill this quest. For other quests it is required to shrink that concerning NPC or to use a certain item to be able to make it move to a specific place. Plus, there are also NPCs, which can only be defeated by completing a quest in the first place, e.g. the Stone Colossus.

Location of NPCs

Almost all of the NPCs respawn at a ceratin place. Exceptations are some of the Unique- and Party-NPCs as well as a few of the normal NPCs. Those affected Unique- and Party-NPCs are able to move on their own, which is the reason why they do not have to be necessarily in a certain area all the time. Those few NPCs, who do not hvae their own place to respawn, are respawning on accident somewhere on the surface.

Affected NPCs
Marsupial Tiger Icebird
Earth Skelkos Earthbird
Firebird the four Shadow Creatures
Treasure Hunter World Wanderer
