Terraria: The main NPCs

If you want to be successful in the adventure game Terraria, you need the help of NPCs. They provide you with items or help you in another way. In this practical tip we show you the most important NPCs and how you can get them.

The main NPCs in Terraria

• The guide spawns right at the start of the game and is the only NPC that doesn't need an apartment. He has tips for you and tells you all the recipes.
• The dealer appears as soon as you have collected 50 silver coins or more. He sells you basic items such as torches.
• If you collect a life crystal and thus have over 100 life points, a nurse will spawn. It heals you for a few coins.
• If you have found an explosive item and a dealer already lives with you, the explosives expert appears. He has explosive things like dynamite on offer.
• The gun dealer supplies you with firearms and ammunition. It pops up as soon as you find a gun or bullet.

Unless otherwise stated, every NPC needs a suitable, free apartment for spawning. It must be at least seven times four blocks in size, have a background (no earth wall) and have at least one light source, a wooden chair, a wooden door and a wooden table. We will show you how to polish your wooden furniture in a home tip.

To be successful in Terraria, you need not only NPCs, but equipment items as well. Here you will find the best.
