NPC

''This page is about friendly characters in Salt. For hostile characters, see Enemies.''

An NPC or Non Player Character is a character that is not controlled by the player. Friendly NPCs can be found on various Islands around the world, and offer the player their services in the form of Quests or trading.

NPCs are invulnerable, resisting any forms of damage. They will not retaliate if the player attempts to attack them, nor will they change their view of the player.

Merchant
The Merchant is one of the most commonly encountered NPCs, found on uninhabited islands. Each Merchant has a different stock of items and offers a different quest. Because of this, unlike other NPCs, the Merchant is not considered to be the same character no matter where the player meets them.

If the Merchant is present on an island, multiple signs with a coin purse on them will be present around the island. The Merchant is always found within a hut lit by a torch, making it easier to spot at night.

Innkeeper
The Innkeeper tends to be the first NPC the player will meet, as the main quest requires them to visit him. He offers the player a variety of quests that are a part of the main quest, as well as info on various items they may find on their journeys.

He can be relatively easily located from a distance, as he leaves beacons on opposing sides of the island he has set up on, that are easy to spot at night. His inn is also easily locatable from a distance, as no trees are present around it and its silhouette can easily be differentiated from the islands.

Composer
The Composer is a common NPC found in every Inn. He offers the player different musical instruments if they help him with various tasks.

Lenvell

However, they can never find them and ask the player to find and return the Desert Island Treasure Cache in return for a unique item.
