Path Actions Explained
Actions That Can Be Used Outside of Battle
Path Actions are actions that are taken outside of combat when interacting with townspeople. When performing a Path Action, they have the chance to succeed or fail depending on a given success rate, which is determined by your influence stat and town reputation.
Influence Stat Determines Path Action Success
| Influence | Path Actions |
|---|---|
| Wealth | Haggling for items, Recruitment |
| Power | Inviting NPCs to your town |
| Fame | Entreating, Recruitment |
The higher your stat on a specific influence, the greater your chances of success. You can increase your influence stat by completing main story quests or influence quests.
Should You Choose Wealth, Power, or Fame?

Inquire to Reveal Information
Inquire is often the first path action you can make on a townsperson. It reveals information on a person such as their background, possessions, Helper Skill, Resident Skill, and Known Info.
Contend to Battle and Get Rewards
Contending will lead to you battling with a townsperson. If you manage to defeat them, you will receive rewards which may include items, equipment, and even Action Skills. However, keep in mind that losing or fleeing a battle results in a loss of town reputation.
Entreat to Obtain Items
Entreating allows you to obtain the possessions of a townsperson. Each possession has its own success rate, so be careful in choosing which item to entreat and attempt only on those with higher rates.
Haggle to Lower Prices
Some townspeople will be selling items and equipment. You can use the haggle Path Action to lower the selling price, getting yourself better deals than if you were to buy the same items from a shop. Take note that once you have purchased an item, it will no longer be sold by the townsperson.
Recruit, Hire, or Impress NPCs to Be Helpers in Battle
Some townsfolk can be recruited as a helper in combat. Helpers can be summoned in battle and have their own Helper Skill that they can use to attack enemies. Townspeople can be recruited either directly through the recruit option, being hired with money, or impressed through battle.
Invite NPCs to The Village
Certain townspeople can be invited to Wishvale. People who become Wishvale Residents will have their own Resident Skill that can contribute to the village and aid you in your journey.
Wealth Increases Success in Recruitment or Haggling
Increasing your Wealth influence can result in a greater success at recruiting helpers or haggling lower prices. Follow the Master of Wealth questline to increase your Wealth influence.

Low Town Reputation Prevents Path Action
Having a bad town reputation prevents you from using Path Actions until your reputation is restored.
You have only 5 chances before your reputation goes sour. If you fail on a Path Action, such as losing a contend battle, you lose 1 chance.
Restore Your Town Reputation at the Tavern
Once you lose all 5 chances, you will need to go to the barkeeper in the town's tavern and pay a fine to get your reputation restored so you can use Path Actions again.
