Talk:Mechanic

Having attempted to get this NPC on two worlds now, I can reasonably assume there is more to unlocking her than just having free housing and right clicking her (this fails every single time).

In addition, I've tried with a wire block, a switch, etc. (found in the second world generated) and she won't be freed. Someone mind posting the actual method for getting this NPC or is my copy of Terraria horribly bugged?
 * I didn't notice I came across her (was running from some skeletons lol) until I practically stepped on her. She was freed before I realised she wasn't a regular dungeon mob and I'd already thrown my Thorn Chakram at her. That was it, basically. I encased her in a small room of dirt blocks to prevent the skeletons chasing me from hurting her (I was worried about the NPCs-not-respawning bug), then quickly fled about 2 screens away. It was daytime and I didn't expect her to go anywhere yet but when I returned she was already gone and shortly afterwards I got the world message saying that she'd arrived. This was in SP, medium sized v1.1 world, autopause off (although I heard v1.1.1 fixes the bound-NPCs-not-freed-when-autopaused bug) - Spinfx 02:03, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Do Mechanic and Goblin Tinkerer crush on each other? I thought, once they worked together and had horrible explosions or something (reference to Goblin's 'explode by breathe on it' quote). And they're searching who's to blame on.

Glitch?
Does it require the Angler to actually move in to a house for the mechanic to sell the Mechanic's rod? because in one of my worlds, the angler is only awoken, but not housed, although the Mechanic is still selling the Mechanic's rod.
