NPCs

Abbreviation for Non-Player Character.

NPCs are the characters that are created by Square-Enix and are controlled by a computer, not a real person. This generally includes monsters (i.e. the beasts that one fights), and Town/city residents and nomads (i.e. those NPCs with green names).

This page lists all the NPCs that fall under the latter and their role in Final Fantasy XI.

Useful Tips[]

For keyboard users, you may hit F8 to select the nearest NPC. Repeated uses of F8 will not change the targeted NPC unless another NPC becomes closer.

A useful macro command for selecting only NPCs is <stnpc>, used in place of <t>. It allows you to tab between targetable NPCs before finishing the execution of the macro.
