Traveling Merchant

The Traveling Merchant is a unique NPC vendor who randomly visits the player's town for one day. His inventory is randomized and different every visit, selling 4-10 / (average 5.5 / ) different items listed below.

In order for the Traveling Merchant to spawn, at least 2 other NPCs must already be present. The Guide counts as one of these, but the Old Man and Skeleton Merchant don't. He won't spawn during Events (except Rain, Old One's Army and Slime Rain). He does not require his own House in order to spawn, and will instead spawn near existing NPCs, spending the day walking around near them.

Once the criteria are met, the Traveling Merchant has a 22.12% chance of spawning each day, appearing at a random time between 4:30 AM and 12 PM. He stays for only one day at a time, after which he will leave at 6:00 PM should he be off-screen/not in the players view. He despawns if the world is vacated before that time.

If threatened by enemies, the Traveling Merchant will defend himself with a Revolver. Once Hardmode begins, he then upgrades to a Pulse Bow.
