Guide to Perfect Setup for Building Npc Houses
Journey Has Begun
Hints
- Try to not make rooms too close, at least 25 tiles away from each other. I personally prefer to just find two large trees in the forest to start building my base. One room (main) is located in bigger crown of tree. I place there Nurse and Arms Dealer for fast heal due to my respawn. Second room is placed in second crown. Third room is placed between two trees.
Forest
- One room – Guide + Merchant.
- Second room – Nurse + Arms Dealer.
- Third room – Zoologist + Golfer.
Why?
- Nurse is here because you can fast magic mirror to heal yourself (pylon doesn’t work when boss is alive).
- While playing as Ranged you can buy musket balls without teleporting anywhere.
- Golfer and Zoologist are NPC that any class can use (to check progress or to just play another game of gold).
- Same goes to Guide and Merchant
All mentioned NPC above will have best prices and all will be happy (due to living in Forest, also they like they neighbor).
Underground
- Demolotionist + Tavern Keep
Why?
- Usually when I go for building house for these two, I visit them rarely (just for bombs to mine, or grenades at the very start of the game).
- You can use pylon in underground to fast teleport to your gem-tree farm.
Underground near Mushroom Biome
- Clothier + Truffle
Why?
- You won’t use these NPC frequently, only at the start of hardmode while playing ranged.
- Both NPC love each other, and you get free Pylon to TP to (that’s why you don’t need to place this building near Demolotionist.
Jungle
- First floor: Witch Doctor + Dryad.
- Second floor: Painter.
Why?
- Witch Doctor sells Pygmy Necklace.
- All NPC have good prices, and they’re themed after a biome they came from.
Hallow
- Party girl + Wizard
Why?
- They like each other, and they like Hallow.
- You get free Pylon to Hallow biome.
Ocean
- First floor: Pirate + Angler
- Second floor: Stylist
Why?
- For best price you can get yourself cannonballs to protect your main base from for example Solar Eclipse.
- You get pylon to teleport to Ocean.
Desert
- First floor: Steampunker + Cyborg.
- Second floor: Dye Trader.
Why?
- Best prices.
- You get pylon to teleport to Desert.
Snow
- First floor: Mechanic + Goblin Tinkerer.
- Second floor: Tax Collector.
Why?
- Best prices.
- You get pylon to Snow biome.
- You get best prices from Goblin Tinkerer (reforging is costly).
To sum up: it’s the most effective way of building and placing your NPC’s around terraria world. You get pylons, all are happy (always price 90% or less), also all NPC sells their best stuff possible because they like biome they’re in. You get fast heal on magic mirror and fast refill of ammo.
the nurse is actually such a b*tch bro she doesnt like anyone and even when i put her in hallow with arms dealer her prices are still a lot
really uyeful, clean and build to be understood by a lot of people including non native English speakers. Thumbs up 😀
aight one addition too, the golfer absolutely despises the merchant, despite the merchant liking the golfer.
maybe that’s something to note too, though my current setup is pretty decent.
on another note, the magic conch shell is amazing if you have a town at the ocean with a pillar, I can simply use that and connect to my pillar system from anywhere in the world, as long as I’m west from my spawnpoint, otherwise I’ll need to use the conch twice to go to the right ocean biome.
Don’t try to make the demolitionist live with the goblin tinkerer, as soon as I went away the goblin tinkerer got slain.
for two npcs to be “neighbours” i believe their homes have to be connected by a single door. platforms work too i think if you have a tower. also the villagers in the town (not just house) affect their happiness.
For NPCs to be neighbors, their home tile (flag tile) must be within 25 blocks of each other
why do this when you can make them unhappy + play “for the worthy,, master mode? ez
this is super confusing and Good at the same time Ty very much
it’s funny how crafting guides have images, but this doesn’t
dude the stylist likes the dye trader and the dye trader is fine in the ocean . . . put them together already -_-
