Enshrouded has multiple different NPCs from various crafting professions that allow players to unlock new recipes, undergo quests, and advance the story of Enshrouded. Many of these craftsmen are available from the starting region of the game, known as the Springlands. In addition, NPCs only offer some quests after all other survivors have been rescued, such as the alchemist's quest to explore the Hollow Halls. As a result, survivors like the collector can only be unlocked after rescuing the first five craftspeople.

What are Crafting NPCs?

1. Crafting NPCs, also known as 'Craftspeople,' are rescuable survivors from ancient vaults that unlock many core gameplay elements and item recipes. After being rescued, they can be placed at a base using the Summoning Staff.

2. Summon them with the staff at any base. Note that they must be Sheltered to function.
