A guide on how to get all the NPC’s!

The NPC Requirements

Hello everyone, I’m Alpha Gaming, and hopefully this guide helps you get all of the NPCs in the game. The list below contains the requirements for an NPC to move in, as well as housing requirements. There must be an available house for an NPC to move in. Housing – At least a 6×10 house, but I reccomend 6×12.

• Guide – Needs an available house, but is available from the start of the game.
• Merchant – All players need at least 50 silver.
