NPC's are back! some info on getting spiritual essence (blue orbs)

[Phantom Cards]

so as of .670 any NPC that was gone is back. if they disappear again all I did to fix it was save before the day they were suppose to re-spawn (like save right as the moon is above the church) and then id do a full restart. That consistently made them come back.

As for the blue orbs you need for the talent tree....they seem pretty rough to get. you can research body parts once in the church basement. I know the Astrologer has a book and if it respawns in his inventory then that seems the best way to acquire them. other than that....glass blowing...but not just glass blowing. Only a tier 1 furnace gave me 1 blue orb for making 1 glass. where as a tier 2 furnace gave me zero. now if you blow the glass (which I believe it takes 2?) then you also only get 1 blue orb....so if the astrologer does not restock his inventory then it looks like your blowing a ton of glass for these orbs. they also take about a minute and a half to make.....so also as a bit of feedback....we really need a solid way to acquire these because at this point you would need a bunch of furnaces constantly making glass to get some profit and you basically will spend your time digging sand. but I at least wanted to pass on this information as all of this did work for me and if i find more I'll let you guys know!!

The furnace tier II don't giving exp i think is a bug.
To obtain blu exp you can also craft polished stone at the stone cutter, it give blue exp.
And study every tomb decoration at the study table (gravestone, cross, ecc).
