NPC Spawn Locations & Daily Reset Times

Last Updated: July 19, 2026 · All 23 NPCs mapped, 4 night-only NPCs documented, weather spawn rules explained

TL;DR

19 of 23 NPCs spawn 24/7 in fixed locations. 4 require specific hours (22:00-04:00). 2 are weather-locked (Rain only, Snow only).

Daily reset is 04:00 server time. All NPCs return to "home" position. Server time = UTC, so 04:00 UTC = 12:00 noon in Beijing / 8pm EST.

2. Personal Test Notes

Marcus: I missed Hugo (Bartender) for 4 days because I logged out at 21:00. He's the easiest NPC to miss. Set a 22:00 alarm for the first week.

Lin: The "Twilight Forest" NPCs (#14 Nia, #20 Dr. Lyra, #23 Wanderer) all spawn in the same zone but at different depths. Nia = entrance clearing, Dr. Lyra = 200m in, Wanderer = 500m in at the Old Oak.

Sofia: Pim (Trader) is on cross-server rotation. He appears on your home server only 3 of 7 days. Check the daily bulletin board for "Pim Today" status.

3. The 4 Night-Only NPCs (Most Missed)

Plan your late-night session around these:

Hugo (22:00-04:00): Tavern back room. Sells rare alcohol recipes. Cannot buy during day.
Nia (17:00-06:00): Twilight Forest entrance. Hunting quest NPC. Daylight = gone.
Dr. Lyra (22:00-04:00): Twilight Forest deep. Herbalist. The only source of Moonflower.
The Wanderer (23:00-02:00): Old Oak in deep forest, full moon only. 3-hour window. Missing = wait 28 days for next full moon.

4. Weather-Locked Spawns

Two NPCs have weather-dependent spawns (rare and easily missed):

Cloud (Rain only): Hidden NPC. Spawns at the Town Fountain only during rain. Sells 1 unique Umbrella recipe per appearance.
Frosty (Snow only): Hidden NPC. Spawns at the South Gate only during snow. Sells 1 unique Snowglobe recipe per appearance.

Both disappear the moment weather clears. Watch the sky color (rain = grey tint, snow = white overlay).

5. Server Reset & Time Mechanics

Event	Time (UTC)	What Happens
Daily Reset	04:00	NPCs return to home, gifting cap resets, daily quests reset
Weekly Reset	Mon 04:00	Pim rotation, weekly gift bonuses, server-wide cooldowns
Seasonal Reset	Every 8-12 weeks	Twilight Mane / Princess Sparkle swap out
Full Moon	Every 28 days	The Wanderer unlock window

6. Pro Tips

Set a 21:55 alarm for 1 week. Catch Hugo before you log out.
Use the in-game clock widget. Top-right corner shows server time, not real time.
Don't waste weather-locked NPC visits. Pre-stock the items you need to buy from them.
The Wanderer requires 3 layers of conditions: night + full moon + correct position. Test with a friend.
Trading Post NPCs share a single slot. When Pim is gone, his spot is empty (no replacement).
Map markers show NPC "current" position. If a marker is missing, they're at a sub-location or off-hours.
Some NPCs path on routes. Mira walks to the market at 14:00. Catch her in transit for a rare 2x gift moment.
