i think there should be a archaeologist npc, which is a early game npc, but gets better as the game progresses. but once by mid-hardmode (around plantera stage) he will start to get useless and annoying. upon creation of world, the npc can be found aywhere in the underground or surface layer, but spawns investigating something. (underground cabin, gold chests, and sometimes good ore if available. This really helps starting players to get good items to start off. if gone off screen, it disapears and teleports to another spot in the map (in the surface or underground). though if found and built a house for, and then the npc occupies it, you can go off screen and build another house anywhere else in the map and move him to there. during the day, (he must have a vacant house)he teleports (when off screen)to places in the underground, surface AND cavern to investigate something big or important to what level the players world is at that moment. his icon on the map still shows, so you can go to where he is and right click him and find the items he has collected and found. if you dont notice him on the map investigating something then at nighttime when he returns to his house you can right click on him and find everything he had investigated and found that day. but once that night passes the items disappear. he doesnt sell items for money, they are free. only finds them and gives a chance for you to take them overnight. as the game progresses, he gets better tools, (from maybe a copper pickaxe (start of game) to a molten pickaxe (once a player has found hell) to a titanium or adamantite pickaxe (once blessed the world by destroying the third demon alter/ crimson alter). If killed, the npc has a chance of dropping his pickaxe, (5% chance). it doesnt attack.
