City services
In every major city you will find the same set of service NPCs: Buffer, Universal Shop, Teleporter, and Blacksmith.
Schema Buffer
The Buffer lets you get buffs and save/load schemes. You can choose from the buff list, heal, or remove effects. Dances and songs are not offered by the buffer — they remain party-only. Schemes let you save a set of buffs and reapply them quickly. Pure buff skills from the buffer (and in general) last 1 hour when the server is configured that way.
Universal Shop
One shop NPC sells equipment up to C-grade (weapons, armor, jewelry) and consumables: soulshots, spiritshots, blessed shots, arrows, potions, scrolls, and more. B-grade and above come from crafting, drops, quests, or other sources — not from this shop. Use the category menu to browse by type and grade.
Teleporter
The Teleporter offers destinations in groups: towns, Catacombs and Necropolis (inside the dungeons), and popular leveling zones. Every teleport costs the same flat adena fee. Use it to move quickly between cities or into dungeons without long runs.
Blacksmith
The Blacksmith has a store (multisell) and service options: manufacturing S-grade and A-grade gear, seals, removing Soul Crystals, and weapon upgrades (within C grade, or trade top C for low B). There is also an even-exchange option for certain items. Talk to the Blacksmith and choose “Browse my store” or “Blacksmith services” to see the full menu.
