NPC assistance is not required for item identification, since characters now have identification as an inherent ability. This process required scrolls during most of Diablo III's development, but those scrolls were removed in a major game system overhaul in January 2012, and players were given the inherent talent. To use it, a character need simply right click on any unidentified item, and after a short (two second) status bar, the item's properties are revealed.
