When enabled under the INCENTIVES tab on the randomizer, there will be one NPC in each town whose dialogue is (potentially) updated to tell the player the location of one of the incentive items that have been enabled. Occasionally, the hint giver will spout nonsense or be otherwise unhelpful.
The hint giver locations are as follows:
| Location | Screenshot | NPC |
|---|---|---|
| Coneria Town |
 |
The old man just north of the Black Magic shop. |
| Pravoka |
 |
The old man next to the White Magic shop. NOTE: This NPC only shows up after Bikke the pirate is defated. |
| Elfland |
 |
The elf scholar next to the Black Magic (level 4) shop. |
| Melmond |
 |
The old man on the far eastern side of town. |
| Crescent Lake |
 |
Lukahn the Sage NOTE: If “Crazy Old Men” is active, Lukahn may be anywhere.This may lead to some frustrations when combined with the fact that providers of hints are not always useful. |
| Onrac |
 |
The man north of the submarine. |
| Gaia |
 |
The old witch between the Inn and the Level 7 Magic shops. |
| Lefein |
 |
The villager on the left side of Lefein (mirrored location to the incentive turn-in). NOTE: You do NOT need the SLAB translated for this individual to provide you a hint. |
