This page consists of the original plan, change of plans, final plan and items that were used.
Original Plan
The original plan that we had planned out was having an NPC which give an item after the player interacts with them. We decided to have an NPC to provide a quest to the player which leads them to another NPC where they give the player an item.
NPCs that were initially chosen:
| Crocodile NPC | Child Citizen |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| To provide a material for the player | To provide a quest for the player |
Change of plans
After discussing with Team 9 (Crafting Team), we decided to have a change of plans where instead of having an NPC to provide a quest for the player so they can obtain a material from another NPC, the player has to just speak to an NPC to gain the material. However, the material that will be given is unique as they are not droppable and only obtainable from NPCs. It was decided at this point in time that a unique NPC will give the player a unique item but it is not craftable with any other material except for another unique material that is dropped by an enemy boss.
The Final Plan
After having more discussion with Team 9 (Crafting Team) on what materials need to be given to the player by what NPC, we decided to pivot towards another direction on how the player is able to obtain these unique materials. Instead of having one NPC give a unique material and an enemy boss drop the other unique material, we decided to have two NPCs to give the unique material. However, to reinforce the player being able to obtain these materials from NPC and craft one of the most powerful weapons, an NPC will be placed somewhere in the first level of the game and another NPC will be placed in the second level of the game. This is so that the player is only able to craft the powerful weapon in level 2 and not in the early stages of the game.
Another plan that we decided last minute was to have another NPC in level one to give low tier materials so that the player is able to craft a low tier weapon to aid them on their progression of the game.

Material Documentation (Team 9)
Extra
There is also a NPC which provides the player a hint on how to obtain the second unique material after obtaining the first one in level 1. This is because the player is assumed to not know that the first unique material they obtained is unique and is assumed to be a useless material as the material is not craftable with any other material. If the player interacts with this NPC, they will gain a clue on where to go and who to find to obtain the second unique material. If the player does not interact with this NPC, they are still able to obtain the second material except they won't have knowledge on which NPC provides the second material and its location. The chosen NPC is:
| Child Citizen |
|---|
|
| Located in level 1 |
| Provides a clue on where to go and who to find to obtain the second unique material |
