Generally speaking, NPC's in a mmo is a NON-player-Character. That may denote a myriad of characters that may not be killable. Mobs are the common term for Monsters, because the fastest way to Level or farm something is to group them together and use an area of effect attack =..=. If you guys played anything else besides GL that's where the term comes from.

Obviously these two terms doesn't really make sense in GL since there are no, "merchant" or "quest" giver Npcs only killable ones, nor can you "mob" something in the true sense of the word. But yeah =). Cleared.

T.O. Troop Carriers
are rare very rare!
Just do NPC in your battle page and maybe you'll see one? Since the change Dan made this past summer I've seen 3! and I'm in the Dysonians regularly battling NPC's.

You will get more and more as you get stronger and start killing more. I have got two so far today alone. Of course I have most likely killed more today than most of you have in a week or so. Don't know that for sure but I have got around 14 boss alerts out so far as well. You be the judge. Just keep killing and you will get all sorts of upgrades.

Anyways, the chances of you seeing a teraformer from an arti drop is so low, it's practically non existent. If you want TFs farm mobs. And I mean crap tons and crap tons of mobs. T.O. troop carriers are the one's that drop the terraformers I believe, but it's not guarnateed every time either.

The term 'mob' (meaning 'mobile' - itself a shortened form of 'mobile entity') is a holdover from the days of MUDs and other primarily text-based internet games, the earliest of which were developed on dial-up bulletin boards a good while before the public internet as we know it and long before D&D and other pen-and-paper roleplaying games (and hence the term NPC, for 'non-player character') were generally accepted.
