Addon or Setting -- Color Code NPC - by type of NPC

vodreaux · November 12

Is there an Addon or maybe setting that color NPC by type of NPC? NPC you can Pickpocket, Blade of Woe, Quest NPC, NPC to speak to, and other??

So far I do no know any.

Afaik there is only hostile and normal NPC, and no other NPC type.

Some got subnames, like "Vendor", and some do not. And that names are not always consistent and for a multi language game with several languages to support this would mean a LOT of manual work to collect these data and provide an addon that helps (if even possible).

NPCs you can blade of woe are are ones that are "white outlined" (innocent civilians), yellow outlined (neutral NPCs - normally hostile enemies that only attack you when you attack them), and red outlined (hostile NPCs)

this is generally also reflected in the enemy health bars if you have that setting turned on, white outlined NPCs dont usually show a health bar, yellow outlined NPCs also have a yellow health bar (until attacked), and red outlined NPCs have red health bars

quest or otherwise untargetable with the blade of woe are ones that usually have green names and green health bars as those are "allied" NPCs

turning on health bars and nameplates generally is the easiest way to visually tell what type of NPC it is, which is in the base game settings
