Listed in clockwise order from the town entry point.
The first NPC you'll see upon entering town is the shopkeper; a blonde haired girl with a white and blue plaid dress and maid bonnet. Talk to her to open the shop, where you can click an item in her inventory (scroll with mousewheel or the bar at the right side of the window) and click buy at the bottom, or click on an item in your inventory and click sell in her window.
The shop will only sell you the highest available tier of items, that tier being equal to your highest class stat, with a cap of the furthest floor you've reached.
(Meaning if you have level 18 warrior but have only reached floor 16, she'll sell you tier 16 items, but if you're a level 14 warrior and 4 Black Mage on floor 16, she'll sell you tier 14 items.) She also changes her stock based on who is shopping, so make sure you pass the money over to your other character and shop with them after a level up to grab all your skill tomes.
The black haired woman with the dark red dress and thigh-highs to the left of the shopkeeper is your character creator. You can talk to her at any time to make a new character, edit the ones you already have or add and remove characters from your active party. Here's a breakdown of her dialogue, sorted as shown in-game.
- Create character (cannot be done if you have full party)
- Edit character (1 is primary character, 2 is secondary, 3 is cancel)
- Add party member (add previously created character to party, requires empty slot and unused character)
- Remove party member (1 is primary character, 2 is secondary, 3 is cancel)
- No idea, never needed/used
- Cancel (close dialogue)
The Witch, just a bit further along the wall from the character creator, is a quest giver with no other purpose. Her quest is detailed in the "quests" spoiler above.
The Blue Priestess is your healer, curer and reviver in-town. She and the Red Priestess both stand near the exit to town, opposite your entry point. Here's a breakdown of her dialogue, sorted as shown in-game.
- Restore health/mana, reset lust (EP)
- Remove status effects/clean "stains"
- Revive fallen party member (costs 100 gold)
- Cancel (close dialogue)
Beside the Blue Priestess if the Red one, who is an exclusive quest giver. The Red Priestess is the most important quest giver, because it is her quests that unlock further floors and allow you to progress through the game. Check the "quests" spoiler for further details.
Directly to the right of the priestesses, there are two civilian-looking women, a huge chested red head and a blue haired girl with a smaller bust. The red woman lets you upgrade your equipment, while the blue one lets you customize it.
To upgrade your equipment with the red woman, make sure you have the item upgrades (looks like a shield or sword with a plus on the icon) in your inventory, along with the gear you want to upgrade. Talk to the red woman and choose the top option of dialogue, then click on the equipment to select it, click on the upgrade you want to apply and click OK to do so. Do this for each piece of equipment you have to properly prepare for the next floor.
To customize your equipment, talk to the blue woman and a small box will open. Simply click on a piece of equipment to select it, then click "change" on one of the two colour bars to alter that colour on the equipment. Changes can be seen in real-time, so feel free to experiment. Use the copy and paste buttons between pieces of armor to make a matching set, if you like.
Further along the wall from them you'll see a green-haired girl wearing leather armor. Talk to her and you can repair your equipment, so you don't wander back into the fray with your breasts exposed, haha
Here's a breakdown of her dialogue options, as shown in order of appearance in-game.
- Repair Equipped items (1 is primary character, 2 is secondary character, 3 is cancel)
- Repair Unequipped (in inventory) items (1 is primary character, 2 is secondary character, 3 is cancel)
- Repair All items (equipped and in inventory) (1 is primary character, 2 is secondary character, 3 is cancel)
- Cancel (close dialogue)
Near the campfire you'll see a red-haired woman wearing steel armor, who is the third quest-giver. Like the other two, she doesn't do anything besides give you her quest, but you can read more on the quest itself above, in the "quests" spoiler.
The final NPC in town is a brown-haired girl I can only describe as a banker. Talk to her and she will open your inventory, your equipment screen and a second inventory. This second inventory is actually your stash; accessed by talking to her. Put anything you like there and it will be available for you when you want it again. This would be usefull for transferring money and high-leveled equipment to new characters, because you could prepare everything with your high levels, put it in your stash, switch characters with the character creator NPC and then come back to the stash and pick up everything, making the first 5 or so floors extremely easy.
