[[File:NPCcontact.gif|left|frame|A player casting the NPC Contact spell]]
'''NPC Contact''' is a [[lunar spell]] that allows the caster to contact various [[non-player characters]] around ''RuneScape'' directly without having to go to them personally. As with all [[Lunar Spells]], the quest [[Lunar Diplomacy]] must be completed to cast this spell.

'''NPC Contact costs {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Astral rune}} + {{GEPrice|Cosmic rune}} + 2 * {{GEPrice|Air rune}}}} coins for each cast, or {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Astral rune}} + {{GEPrice|Cosmic rune}} + 2}} coins if an Air staff is equipped.'''

==Trivia==
*If you stand right next to [[Murphy]] and contact him, he'll tell you that it's "so rude when you may as well just speak to him in person".
*When contacting [[Bert]] the player will tell him he/she is totally "'armless", this is a reference to the quest [[Hand in the Sand]].
*The spell is used similar to a phone's purpose.
*If you try and contact [[Chuck]] using this spell while up in your clan's citadel and claim your penguin points it will say "Your call has been disconnected" This may happen for other NPCs who you wish to claim things from.
*When casting the spell, the audio used sounds like tuning in an old radio, probably a humourous reference to the idea of 'tuning in' to the NPC.
*When talking to the camel, you ask him "How am I speaking to you without a Camulet?", even if you have not done [[Enakhra's Lament]] , so you would not know what a camulet is yet.
*After While Guthix Sleeps, attempting to contact Cyrisus would use no runes and a message would appear that said "you take a moment to honor your fallen brethren, Cyrisus. Lucien will be made to pay." This no longer happens, and you cannot choose him at all. The reason for this change is unknown.
*The prank conversation with Blurberry is a reference to a Simpsons episode where Bart prank calls Moe in a similar manner.
*The spell cannot be used within Citadel grounds.
