Npc's selfdefense
Is there a way to disable the Npc's attack as im sick of the guide provokeing slimes and pushing zombies into me when im trying to build. --Martingolding96 (talk) 15:44, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

You cant,it's only for self defense so why did you post this? Player2170 (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Info needed about weapons that damage NPCs
I'm trying to kill the tavernkeep and realized that info would be useful. I've only found that Leonord curse'''「talk」 09:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)


 * The intro section discusses some things that kill NPCs (fourth paragraph). The only player-wielded weapon is Rotten Eggs. Other than that there's lava, traps, enemies, and water (they do drown). Equazcion  ( talk ) 09:18, 10 Dec 2016 (UTC)

Question
I have a player in a hardmode world and I'm going for most of the achievements now as I have beaten the moon lord, so I got the last town NPC but was not awarded the achievement for having all NPCs in my world. I tried reloading the world. The only unusual circumstance might be that I have a solar pillar in the world. Reecespuff (talk) 00:24, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * You sure you have every single NPC?  LordofEditing =( Talk )= ''' 00:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * All 23 of them. Reecespuff (talk) 00:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Possibly a bug. Take a screenshot of the housing interface (the one where you can rehouse and view npcs) and refer to the forums as a bug. And also be 100% sure that you have not earned the achievement beforehand.  LordofEditing =( Talk )= ''' 00:53, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Turns out all I needed to do was kill my guide and have him respawn. Reecespuff (talk) 07:15, 1 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Great!  LordofEditing =( Talk )= ''' 08:19, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Trivia: The Mechanic is only one block wide while bound...
"The Mechanic is only one block wide while bound, whereas she is two blocks wide once talked to. This can be used to force her into a one block wide space." Can someone verify this? Afaik blocks are 16x16 pixels. NPC.cs seems to have bound mechanic width set to 18, same as bound goblin(tinker), bound wizard, and all of their unbound versions. I tried to 'box in' four bound wizards, but it didn't work. Seems like spawning places them in the middle of a block(code seems to confirm this(x*16+8)), so they manage to block 3 blocks worth of width unless knocked back by enemies. This could just be some block placement glitch, some multiplayer related glitch or console/mobile difference? 88.193.92.203 15:30, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

nvm, just found webbed stylist that I could block into 1 wide space. someone erase this talk please, I can't seem to do it as unsigned user 88.193.92.203 12:20, 30 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for looking into it :) p.s. we don't delete talk sections... you never know when somebody may be getting ready to ask the very same thing ;) – Ferretwings  (talk ) 14:58, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

NPC Pages
Is there a standard to what sections of the pages be where? For example, on some the "Names" Section is after "Notes", others it is after "Trivia." I would fix them all to be one standard, but I am not sure if there already is one. If not, we can discuss here where to put what and make a standard. Shadowjared24 (talk) 02:26, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Blinking NPCs
Does NPCs blink their eyes? It seems they won’t blink in the 1.4 version. --Superwill771 (talk) 00:34, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Reduced shop costs
So it says on the page for the merchant: "Likes to be alone, no immediate neighbors." But when I talk to him under the happiness tab (and the only NPCs in the world are the nurse and the merchant) he says this: "This is nice, lots of privacy to store my wares. I like the scenery in the Forest, a good view attracts customers! Hannah the Nurse makes loads of money, I like deep pockets." and the costs for items are less than when the merchant was my only NPC, the forest pylon costing 8 gold instead of 8 gold and 25 silver. Their houses are right next to each other, which is why I'm confused by the "likes to be alone" bit. --Canniballistic (talk) 07:07, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Trivia: Nurse's favorite biome
the nurse's favorite biome being the hallow could be a reference to The Legend of Maxx comic #128 (here) Afyber (talk) 18:52, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
