NPC

Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are all characters that cannot be controlled by the player. This includes characters that have only been mentioned, as well as characters that may become playable in the future.
Though many NPCs can be interacted with in the open world at any time, others only appear during quests or events, and are categorized as quest-exclusive and event-exclusive NPCs respectively.
Some open-world NPCs serve additional functions, such as exchanging items with the player, allowing the player to interact with a game system like Reputation, or initiating time trials.
For a complete list of all NPCs, see NPC/List.
==Vendor NPCs==
Some NPCs in Genshin Impact serve as shop vendors and will sell items to players. Most shops will restock their wares every day. Detailed lists of the items offered can be found on the vendors' pages.
Some shops are major shops, and their vendors have their own map icon. These major shops appear in every region.

===Behavior===
* Most talents performed near NPCs cause them to flinch.

However, there are certain Talents that cause NPCs to clap. Below is list of all talents that trigger clapping:
** Amber: Explosive Puppet

** Gaming: Bestial Ascent
*** Additionally, both variations of his Wushou dance idle animation cause NPCs to clap.
** Gorou: Inuzaka All-Round Defense
** Jean: Dandelion Breeze

** Klee: Jumpy Dumpty, Sparks 'n' Splash
** Layla: Nights of Formal Focus, Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker

* If a player blocks the path of a walking NPC for a certain amount of time (e.g., using constructs generated by Elemental Skills), they will disappear to spawn somewhere else to continue their walking route.
* Some NPCs such as Marla and Glory are seated on benches at their overworld locations. Players can manipulate how they spawn:
** If the one seat on the bench the NPC usually sits on is occupied, they will spawn on another available seat.
** If all seats of the bench are occupied, the NPC will spawn in front of the bench, standing. Once a seat becomes vacant, they will sit down on that spot.
* NPCs who travel between locations may stop at certain locations for a certain period of time before traveling again. An example of such an NPC is Schulz. The time they spend stopped at a certain location does not pause when the game's time is paused.
