Talk:Skeleton Merchant

Mandible Calavera is NOT the name of the NPC. It's one of the possible names for the NPC. Just saying 50.34.204.197 23:40, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * This page is mostly for people who search the wiki for the info they see on the trailer. Once the actual name of the NPC is revealed it'll be pretty painless to just move the page. --KM100 (talk) 00:32, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Strange Brew not always available
Apologies beforehand for not having a login, but i wanted to mention, that in my experience with the 1.3 update, the strange brew did not show up yet on my map amongs the skeleton merchant's buyable stuff. --84.3.28.160 14:29, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

I can second this. I've found the Skeleton Merchant twice so far in an expert, non-hardmode world and he hasn't had the strange brew either time. VelocityCubeR (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Stock partially refreshes when re-opening shop
Not sure the exact mechanics, but figured I'd put it here so someone can edit it into the page nicely. Only seems to cycle the glowstick/torch (into possible spelunker's glowstick/bone torch).

Encountered this on expert, not sure if that would matter.

Lifeform analyzer
Is this detectable by lifeform analyzer? FunAlways (talk) 17:02, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No, Lifeform Analyzer does not detect this NPC and there is no NPC icon for him. MushaShukou (talk) 03:36, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Torches and Bone Torches
They seem to alternate between the two depending on whether the time is odd or even (in minutes).

"Immune to Monsters"
Something was certainly hurting him in my game just now; he got down around half health. He may be immune to melee damage but not ranged (or possibly poison); the main thing that was shooting at me when I noticed the merchant was losing health were Hornets.174.68.97.188 09:03, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * He's definitely not immune to damage from monsters. I'll remove it. Scorch238 the Insufficiently Caffinated (talk) 05:21, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

His type is "town"?
how can he be a town NPC if he does not require a house and does not persist after he is no longer considered "active" by the game? At least the traveling merchant persists and stays near a town during the day, but this guy? Surely there must be a mistake...--Macks2008 (talk) 02:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Not appearing until Hardmode? Nope
Just got the item. Weird… he was showing Spelunker Glowstick… and now I just remembered that they appear in the day on a full moon… ugh… --198.244.98.123 06:42, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

It sucks! I remember having to check the clothier every single day for the princess dress to complex my collection EnderCake (talk) 15:49, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
