Communicating with NPC’s and other Commands

Communicating with NPC's and other Commands

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. <a href="#banker">Banker</a> | <a href="#ferry">Ferry</a> |<a href="#guildstone">Guild</a> | <a href="#hireling">Hireling</a> | <a href="#house">House</a> | <a href="#murder">Murder Status</a> | <a href="#npc">NPC</a> | <a href="#pet">Pet</a> | <a href="#shrine">Shrine</a> | <a href="#stable">Stablemaster</a> | <a href="#teleporter">Teleporter</a> | <a href="#tillerhand">Tillerman, by hand</a> <a href="#tillermap">Tillerman, by map</a> | <a href="#towncryer">Towncryer</a> | <a href="#vendorplayer">Vendor (Player)</a> | <a href="#vendorshop">Vendor (Shop)</a> | <a href="/l#young">Young Status</a> 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'. Interacting with Non-Player Characters that you 'own' is detailed in the page '<a href="http://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/gameplay/npc-commercial-transactions/npcs-player-owned/">NPC's Player Owned</a>' <table border="1" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" align="center"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="top" colspan="2"> <h4><a title="banker" name="banker"></a>Banker/Minter</h4> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="heading"><strong>You Say</strong></td> <td class="heading"><strong>Response</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">"Balance" or "Statement"</td> <td>The banker will tell you the amount of gold and platinum in your currency account, your transfer account and your secure account.</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">"Bank"</td> <td>The banker will open your bankbox for you.
