There are a number of ‘conversations’ you may undertake with Sosaria’s residents, plus some spoken commands which give details about your character. Many npc’s you meet will have a context menu, accessed by a single left click on the character. You may also simply ‘speak’ to them. Below are some of the conversations you may find beneficial.
Banker | Ferry |Guild | Hireling | House | Murder Status | NPC | Pet | Shrine | Stablemaster | Teleporter | Tillerman, by hand
Tillerman, by map | Towncryer | Vendor (Player) | Vendor (Shop) | Young Status
The town guards are too aloof to indulge in conversation, however should you find yourself under attack, or being robbed, within a guard zone you may call upon them for help. You will need to ‘yell’ rather than simply speak, and the word to yell is ‘GUARDS’.
