Special NPC Recruitment – beta

Special NPC Recruitment Mod for Enhanced Merchant Access

Ever found yourself wishing you could bring certain unique vendors back into your fold in your favorite game? The Special NPC Recruitment mod aims to do just that, offering a streamlined way to re-engage with some of the most useful and interesting merchants. This mod focuses on re-enabling recruitment for the Pawnbroker and introducing recruitment options for the Friendly Witch and Exotic Merchant, expanding your in-game economic and crafting possibilities.

Key Features and Benefits

This mod is designed with simplicity and compatibility in mind, ensuring a smooth addition to your gameplay experience. Here’s what you can expect:

• Re-enable Pawnbroker Recruitment: If you’ve noticed the Pawnbroker is no longer available for recruitment in newer game versions, this mod restores that functionality, bringing their valuable shop back to you.
• Friendly Witch & Exotic Merchant Recruitment: For the first time, you can recruit the elusive Friendly Witch and the intriguing Exotic Merchant to your settlement.
• Vendor Access Only: The mod strictly focuses on providing access to these NPCs and their shops. You won’t find any artificial stat boosts, just the convenience of their unique wares.
• Lightweight Design: This mod is built to be efficient. It introduces no new game assets and requires only minimal patching, ensuring it won’t bog down your game.
• Configurable Options: By default, the Friendly Witch and Exotic Merchant recruitment are toggled off. You have the flexibility to enable them through the mod’s settings, tailoring the experience to your preference.

Recruitment Costs and Considerations

Bringing these special NPCs into your service comes with a price, reflecting their unique value:

• Pawnbroker: Requires a payment ranging from 1000 to 1300 coins.
• Friendly Witch: Demands a combination of 1000 to 2000 coins along with a random consumable item, such as a Mushroom, Frog Leg, Bat Wing, or Cave Spider Gland.
• Exotic Merchant: Can be recruited for 1000 to 2000 coins.

Compatibility and Installation

This mod is designed to be server-side, meaning clients can join your game without needing the mod installed themselves. It is compatible with the latest game version (1.0.3) and works seamlessly with the vanilla game. If you are running other NPC or merchant modification mods that might affect the same characters, it’s recommended to place the Special NPC Recruitment mod after them to ensure proper functionality.
