NPC Overview ​

Three regular NPC companions have their own services and personality, alongside the Sky Islands residents.

Names and Vision ​

Custom NPCs follow vanilla name display: no extra permanent overhead names, while dialogue, shops and interaction screens still show their names. The same rule applies to top-down, first-person and third-person views.

On raid maps, NPC models hide and reappear with player vision instead of remaining visible through walls or fog of war. They remain available for interaction when back in view. This fog hiding does not apply at base.

The Cast ​

• Dingdang (Goblin Smith) — Reforge, affix forging, shop, daily chat
• Yu Zhi (Nurse) — Healing, debuff removal
• Awen (Courier) — Item storage & retrieval

Sky Islands Residents ​

The Qinglan Archipelago has six residents: Qinghe, Weibai, Fuzhou, Miantai, Zheling and the Silent Bell Keeper. All six support daily chat, gifts, affinity and marriage, using the existing level-10 affinity, Wedding Chapel, Diamond Ring and single-spouse rules. See Sky Islands · Qinglan Archipelago for their services, gift preferences, visits and quests. After a challenge, Zheling rests for that raid; you can continue building the relationship on your next visit. The locations below describe Dingdang, Yu Zhi and Awen.

At affinity Lv.3, Fuzhou at Cloudrise Dock opens Fuzhou's Departure Supplies, selling the exclusive Headmaster's Roll-Call Ledger totem with one in stock for 20,000. You can still trade with Fuzhou after marriage. The dock workbench offers the same shop with the same affinity requirement.

Affinity System ​

Dingdang and Yu Zhi have a full Affinity system (Awen doesn't — he's all business):

• 10 levels, raised through daily chat + gifts
• Each level unlocks services, discounts, or rewards
• Max Affinity = propose with a Diamond Ring
• Skip a day = Affinity decays. Don't ghost them

See Affinity and Marriage for details.
