Mildred is a very interesting NPC that you will come across fairly early in the game. When you first interact with her, she will let you stay at her house for a week. All you have to do is keep the goblins out, water her plants, and take care of her cat.

After that, when she returns, you will be able to buy her house for 20,000 gold. It's a great deal because Mildred's house is the cheapest by far, and staying at inns to save your game and recover your health will cost you more.

Ulrika is one of the NPCs that can serve as a love interest to the Arisen. She is also a part of many important quests, including Tale’s Beginning, In Dragon’s Wake, Readvent Of Calamity, and Home Is Where The Hearth Is.

6 Luz

• Location: The NPC is located at the reverent shrine, and you will speak to her spirit form to get the Trickster vocation.

Luz can be found in Bakbattahl and is significant for players who are looking to unlock the Trickster vocation. She is the Maister of the Trickster class and will also allow you to unlock the Theurgist’s Rite, which is necessary for getting the Dragon’s Delusion Trickster skill.

You can also get items like the Rift Incense from Luz that you can burn while camping. Her quest is called the Flickering Shadows. The Trickster Vocation is worth unlocking due to its special ability to use smoke illusions to distract enemies. It is a great support class for your party.
