Starter Zone NPCs

Your journey begins in the Starter Zone, and while it might seem like a boring tutorial area, the NPCs here set the foundation for your entire build. Missing out on their early bonuses can put you behind the curve for weeks.

Captain Haldor

Location: Right next to the spawn point.
Captain Haldor is the first face you’ll see. Many players skip his dialogue to rush into combat, but that’s a mistake. He offers the “Basic Combat Tutorial” quest. While it seems mundane, completing it rewards you with a Starter Set that offers better defense than anything you can afford from the merchant early on.

Pro Tip: Talk to Haldor immediately. If you die before talking to him, you respawn and might miss the window to get the free gear if the game’s save logic resets for new players.

Merchant Grix

Location: The small wooden stall near the town gate.
Grix is your lifeline for the first 10 levels. He sells the essential Health Potions and Basic Iron Swords.

• Strategy: Don’t buy the Iron Sword immediately. If you complete Captain Haldor’s quest, you get a weapon of similar quality. Save your gold for potions. In Excry, grinding mobs without potions is slow and frustrating. I recommend stocking up to at least 50 potions before leaving the Starter Zone.

Central Plaza & The City

Once you venture out of the starting area, you’ll reach the bustling Central Plaza. This is the social and economic hub of Excry.

Blacksmith Borin

Location: The large forge with the smokestacks, north side of the plaza.
Borin is arguably the most critical NPC for damage dealers. He handles Weapon Upgrades.

• Services:
  • Sharpening: Increases base damage by 5% per level.
  • Re-forging: Rerolls the sub-stats on your gear (risky, but can yield high-tier results).
• Insight: I’ve seen players waste thousands of gold trying to get a “God Roll” on a Tier 2 sword. My advice? Only reforge Tier 3 weapons and above. The stat increase on lower tiers isn’t worth the gold sink. Use Borin primarily for sharpening until you hit Level 20.

Auctioneer Vane

Location: The podium in the center of the market.
The economy in Excry is player-driven, and Vane facilitates it. He allows you to list items and bid on rare gear dropped by other players.

• Strategy for 2026: The market fluctuates heavily. If you find a “Lucky Clover” or rare drop, don’t sell it to Vane instantly. Check the listings first. Often, players will buy specific crafting materials for 3x the price of a standard merchant.

Healer Sister Anna

Location: The church building, west of the plaza.
She restores your HP and cures any status effects (like poison or curses).

• Hidden Function: Did you know Sister Anna can remove Debuffs that persist after death? If you are stuck with a “Curse of Weakness” that lowers your stats, visit her. She charges a small fee, but it is necessary if you want to maximize your farming efficiency.

The Wilds: Forest & Outposts

As you move into the combat zones, NPCs become scarcer but offer much higher rewards.

Sage Elara

Location: The Forest Outpost, hidden behind a waterfall.
Elara is the go-to NPC for magic users. She sells Spell Tomes and unlocks mana upgrades.

• Must-Have Item: Buy the “Fireball” tome as soon as you can afford it. It is the most efficient AoE (Area of Effect) spell for farming mobs in the forest. If you are a melee class, don’t ignore her—she sells Mana Crystals which are required for upgrading magical accessories that any class can wear.

The Wanderer

Location: Random spawn locations in the Forest and Desert zones.
This is a unique NPC. He does not have a fixed spot. He appears randomly for 10 minutes at a time.

• The Strategy: If you see him, drop what you are doing and talk to him. He sells Legendary Maps. These maps lead to hidden dungeons that drop the best gear in the game outside of raids. He only accepts “Ancient Coins,” a currency dropped by elite mobs, so save those coins up!

Advanced Zones & Hidden NPCs

This section covers the NPCs that most casual players never find. These are for the dedicated players looking to min-max their stats.

Grim the Trader

Location: The Dark Alley (accessible only at night in the City).
Grim is part of the “Black Market.” He sells items that are banned or restricted in the main city.

• Inventory:
  • Poison Vials: Essential for PvP.
  • Lockpicks: Allow you to open chests in dungeons without finding the key.
• Warning: Buying from Grim might lower your “Karma” stat if the game implements a morality system in future 2026 updates. Use him sparingly if you care about NPC dialogue options changing later.

Engineer Spark

Location: Industrial Zone (Requires Level 30+ to enter safely).
Spark sells Gadgets. This includes grappling hooks and explosives.

• Why visit him? Mobility is king in Excry. The Grappling Hook he sells allows you to traverse the map 50% faster. This cuts down your travel time significantly, making your grinding loops much more profitable.

NPC Interaction Etiquette & Mechanics

Knowing where the NPCs are is one thing, but knowing how the game handles them is another layer of mastery.

Reputation Systems

Some NPCs, particularly the merchants and guards, operate on a hidden reputation meter.

• How it works: Selling specific items (like stolen goods or faction-specific tokens) can lower your reputation with opposing factions.
• The Fix: If an NPC refuses to talk to you, you usually need to perform a “Penalty Quest” for the local guard captain to reset your standing. This is a tedious process, so always check an item’s description before selling it to a random merchant!

Daily Reset Mechanics

In Excry, NPC inventories reset every 24 hours at 12:00 AM UTC.

• My Routine: I log in right after the reset. This is when Auctioneer Vane has the freshest listings, and Merchant Grix often restocks on “Limited Supply” consumables that give a temporary XP boost. If you want to stay ahead of the competition in March 2026, you need to align your playtime with the daily reset or accept that the best deals will be gone by the time you log on.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Through my gameplay and observing others, I’ve noticed a few pitfalls that can stall your progression:

1. Selling Loot to the Wrong NPC: Don’t sell crafting materials to general merchants. They offer 1 gold per unit. Travel to the specific crafter (e.g., Blacksmith for ores, Tailor for cloth) to get the proper sell price. It takes more time but doubles your gold income.
2. Ignoring Quest NPCs: It’s tempting to just grind mobs for XP, but Quest NPCs give massive XP bursts and unique items (like the [Amulet of Greed] from Captain Haldor) that you cannot get anywhere else.
3. Forgetting the Healer: Relying solely on potions in high-level zones is inefficient. If you are near a city, port back and use Sister Anna. It saves you inventory space and gold in the long run.

Future Updates & What to Watch For

The developers of Excry are active. Based on the official Discord chatter (as of 2026), we can expect new NPCs to be introduced in the upcoming “Winter Update.”

• Rumored NPC: There is talk of a “Pet Tamer” being added to the Mountains, which will allow players to capture and train the mobs they fight. Keep an eye on the patch notes in March!

FAQ’s

How often do NPCs change locations in Excry?

Most NPCs have static locations. However, “The Wanderer” is a roaming NPC that changes location every hour. Special event NPCs may also appear during holidays or game updates.

Which NPC should I prioritize for early game gold?

Focus on Merchant Grix initially to stock up on pots, but as soon as you have rare loot, go straight to Auctioneer Vane. Selling to players is significantly more profitable than selling to NPCs.

Do NPCs respawn if killed?

In most safe zones, NPCs cannot be killed. In specific PvP zones or raid events, enemies that function like NPCs may respawn after a set timer (usually 5-10 minutes).

Where is the best place to find rare item traders?

The Black Market (Grim the Trader) and Auctioneer Vane are your best bets. Additionally, keep an eye out for the Wanderer, as his inventory is purely legendary items.

Can I unlock new NPCs by leveling up?

Yes. NPCs like Engineer Spark in the Industrial Zone are gated behind your level (Level 30) and sometimes completion of specific prerequisite quests.

Conclusion

Mastering the NPC network in Excry is about more than just finding a shop to dump your loot. It’s about optimizing your route, managing your economy, and unlocking the specific services that boost your build. Whether you are grinding in the Starter Zone or hunting the Wanderer in the Wilds, this guide should be your roadmap.
