Clothier

The Clothier is an NPC vendor who sells mainly vanity items.

The Clothier is the same character as the Old Man who guards the Dungeon before Skeletron is defeated. After defeating Skeletron, the Old Man is freed from his curse, and he disappears from the Dungeon's entrance. Once a suitable vacant house is available thereafter, he spawns and sells items. His clothes are no longer tattered, his eyes have turned blue (from red), and he is wearing a Red Hat.

Equipping the Clothier Voodoo Doll allows a player to attack and kill the Clothier (similar to the Guide Voodoo Doll). Doing so at night re-summons Skeletron.

When threatened on the, the Clothier fires skull projectiles similar to those produced by the Book of Skulls that inflict enemies with the Shadowflame debuff for 5-10 seconds.

The Clothier's favorite biome is the Underground layer. He also dislikes the Nurse and hates the Mechanic.

Sold during Hardmode

Tips

 * Placing a shallow lava pit in the floor of the Clothier's house (e.g. by pouring one Lava Bucket into an 8 or 9-tile long horizontal recession of one tile height) will cause the Clothier to die and respawn often, leaving behind the Red Hat each time, which can be sold for each.
 * However, it is more lucrative to fight Skeletron by using a Clothier Voodoo Doll to kill the Clothier at night, which causes Skeletron to spawn. Skeletron drops when defeated, not accounting the other drops that can be sold.
