Separate KIN functionality into Different NPC's
Posted by Hate
KuroMS Suggestions discussion with 4 posts about Separate KIN functionality into Different NPC's.
Description of Suggestion: Right now KIN can do multiple actions such as change cosmetics, sell special items, Dailies and Weeklies, claiming vote points, access to storage and more.. I think we should consider split some of those functions into a different NPC. Having an NPC who manages the dailies and weeklies can be a good start. Also, IMO, ore/scroll storage and guild storage are redundant, I never clicked it before. I find @storage command and the Widget shortcuts much more intuitive. I remember Agent E wall of text with sub options and 3 layers dialog, it was a nightmare. But now Agent E dialog is in a really good spot. KIN should get the same treatment. Why Do You Think This Is Needed? Basically, KIN have to much on her shoulder. It might be a bit overwhelming for new players seeing this big list, even though it's categorized. Separating the NPC's will also provide a good foundation for @ command for dailies and weeklies access from anywhere by opening a dialog with the NPC from afar. We can also separate the cosmetics to a different NPC which will get rid of the big title of "COSMETICS" at the start. Possible Downsides or Obstacles: Veterans already used to KIN behavior, could make some confusion at first. FM will start to get cramped. Choosing an NPC sprite for each functionality could be a headache. Trackback and update any information or help that points to KIN with legacy functions across the game/website/discord. Additional Notes/Comments: We still have a spot between Inkwell and Miki on FM and Sasuke can move a bit further as he is not used that often (for most player he's no usable overall lol) TL;DR Split the overcrowded KIN NPC functions into separate NPCs to avoid overwhelming new players, cleaner UI and easier navigation.

I'm bumping this as it became even more necessary after recent updates.

Hi Hate, this is something that I also always wanted as when I first joined optimizing throughout KIN felt troublesome and it doesn't help that not the most aesthetic pleasing NPC. Hopefully can look to seperate it along with the Major QOL overhaul once have more time.

why not add things that can be bought with mesos (teleport rocks, messengers) to miki the grocer?
