Talk:Painter

Three NPCs
The three NPCs that I got for the painter were the guide, the merchant, and the Demolitionist! If the Demolitionist could move in before the merchant, my second one would have been the Demolitionist because I found my grenades in the first-ever chest I found!!! :-)

obtaining some paintings: corruption biome
painter needs to be in a crorruption/crimson biome to do some paintings. however, you can't put him in those biomes, given any house would be corrupted....

does someone have any soluytion to this apparent paradox???85.69.241.244 20:35, 20 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Here are some ways:
 * Teleport him to a corrupted biome with Teleporters.
 * Teleport him to a corrupted biome with a King Statue.
 * Make him live in a house located high above a corrupted biome, then make him fall down into it (NPCs cannot die from fall damage).
 * Transform the area he's currently living in to a corrupted biome, either with the Clentaminator or by placing corrupted Blocks (you'll need about 200, I think).
 * Hopefully one of these may help you. NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 18:52, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Jim's cap


So I was grinding NPC items to complete my Journey Mode item list for the sake of boredom and killed my Painter a few times with Flymeal to get his Paintball Gun, when suddenly I got this item instead. The Painter's name was Jim so it's likely this item is a guaranteed drop depending on the name, like with Andrew the Guide and Whitney the Steampunker. I'll see if I can check out the other NPC's in case they have easter egg items added too.
