Are UW quest-npcs invunerable now too once quest completes?
Day Trooper
Quick question for the UW pros. I found out recently that immediately after completing a UW quest the UW quest-reaper becomes invulnerable. Does this apply to the other quest npcs like Ice King, Pits Souls, and the Escort Souls? I looked at the update notes but couldn't find an answer...

yes, if quest is over they are invincible(99.9% sure but dont count on me alone)

Pretty sure the Reapers are killable in Dhuum's fight, but that's not what you are asking

Npc's (and reapers) are only invulnerable once they leave your ally list. For example if you complete mountains quest "Slayer" but left the reaper in aggro either with behemoths behind the statue or below then the quest can complete but reaper will stay on ally list and is not invulnerable. (so the time u saved by taking quest in aggro is probably used up by having to kill all the dryders that come, lol)

just like previously in uw (where you could actually kill a reaper at 10 of 10 quests if it was aggroed and taking damage before 10/10) now it doesn't have to be taking damage it just has to remain on list and it can be killed. I will always take quest in mnts if reaper pop will be in aggro but safe from damage. (Ive logged a lot of time doing mnts and just don't like wasting time if not necessary )

from Day Trooper "or more specifically, the reaper doesn't leave your ally list unless he offers you a reward" Yep, you can go up after quest is complete (in your log) and kill whatever is aggroing to reaper and reaper will then leave your ally list and be invulnerable.

Ice king is not invulnerable. Ever.

Ice King is absolutely invulnerable as soon as he leaves your ally list right after you complete wastes quest. (which requires all dryders to be killed now)
I am assuming that you are refering to the old uw before skeleton updates etc.

as far as original question, the only npc's that you really could leave in harms way would be the escort npcs if wrathful isnt finished or pits. wrathful usually is clear in that area before escort (unless you pop escort first which we haven't tried yet) and in pits the soul walk so slow we finish farming before they get anywhere near the reaper.
