Special NPC's
The ingame shop and the special NPCs
There aren't many items in the shop and some specific minigames are locked. Well, that's because there are NPCs that appear when certain requirements are met. When the NPCs arrive, more items will appear in the shop or mini-games will open.

Season NPCs
There are also a few seasonal vendor NPCs that appear in the correct months under certain conditions. I'll keep these a secret but will note that they sell items mixed in with the various other normal shops (ie items/miscellaneous/alchemy/etc.).
NPCs can be kidnapped!
To make things interesting, many of these NPCs can be kidnapped and rescued.
When a player loses a battle, there is a percentage chance that one of the NPCs will be randomly kidnapped. In normal combat there is a 25% chance of this happening. Boss fights and other specific battle types have a 60% chance of inflicting casualties. It is also possible that during dragon hunts, under certain conditions, the dragons will come out of hiding and kidnap an NPC.
NPCs can be rescued!
If an NPC has been kidnapped, fear not! You can save it again by winning boss fights. A normal boss win has a 50% chance of rescuing an NPC. Certain other types of boss fights have a chance of over 70%.
