NPC Contact is a magic spell that allows players to talk to various NPCs around Gielinor without having to visit them directly. It is part of the Lunar spellbook. As with all Lunar spells, the quest Lunar Diplomacy must be completed to cast this spell. When the spell is cast, an interface will open showing various NPCs the player may contact. When one is selected, the runes are spent, experience is granted, and the NPC is contacted.

Players can use a right-click option on the spell's icon in their spellbook to re-contact the NPC they last contacted through this spell.

Some of the NPCs might have additional requirements (such as quest completions) for you to contact them. They will show up as a grey outline if they can't be contacted.

Note: Using NPC Contact to contact a person you need to speak for a clue requirement does NOT advance your progress in the Treasure Trail. You must speak to the person through normal means.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

• If attempting to contact certain NPCs whilst near them, they will give a variety of humorous responses. However, this does not work whilst being next to Bert, as the area "next to him" assigned by the spell is actually in the centre of the Dragon Inn just south of Bert's house.
• The player will spin to face the NPC that is being contacted, much like one does when interacting with the NPC normally. This effect works over any distance, including inside underground areas or instances. The faced direction for non-overworld maps will indicate the relative direction between the current mapped area and the area where the NPC resides.
