I have a question about this game

Post by SteelSoldier »

Can you get any sort of items by killing monsters or npcs, or are all the gold and treasures in crates and chests and stuff like that?

Thugs and goblins will sometimes drop random loot--you'll see the message "Something has been dropped!" and a bag will appear. The contents are usually random, but a few special individuals will always drop the same thing, like a key.
I know of only two NPCs that drop something--you'll probably figure this out at the appropriate time and it's up to you if you think it's worth killing them.

Oh yeah, I forgot about poltergeists. And I guess I have a different definition of "NPC".

The goblin archers always drop arrows, but they're not always flight arrows.

The shady character drops cash, but maybe only if you kill him without doing his quest?

Anyway, finding these things out for yourself is half the fun. :)
