Garden Gnome

The Garden Gnome is a small furniture item formed when a Gnome touches sunlight. A placed Garden Gnome positively influences the player's Luck stat by 0.2. The buff is applied to any players standing within a centered on the Garden Gnome, similar to the Heart Lantern. Additional Garden Gnomes do not increase luck further.

Garden Gnomes have five different sprites when placed (which are functionally identical):


 * Facing a direction with their arms akimbo.
 * Facing a direction while slouching.
 * Facing a direction with their arms on their side.
 * Mooning their bottom toward the screen.
 * Facing the screen.

Tips

 * As they are relatively easy to obtain, it can be advantageous to place them wherever Luck comes into play, e.g. boss arenas and farming locations.
 * The way the gnome faces when it is in profile depends on the tile it is placed on; not the direction the player is facing.
 * Unlike other buff furniture, the Garden Gnome does not apply a visible buff to the player to show that its effect is active. One can improvise by placing another area-effect object (such as a Campfire or Sunflower) next to the Garden Gnome and looking for that buff icon to estimate whether the luck bonus is being applied.
