Top 10 Best Terraria NPCs
NPCs are essentially the inhabitants of your Terraria world, each with their own distinct quirks, unique offerings, and services that can aid you in your quest to explore, build, and survive. These characters are not controlled by players but are integrated into the game to enrich your playing experience.They can provide you with valuable items, useful knowledge, and can even become residents of your elaborately constructed abodes. Whether it's a merchant with the finest wares, a wizard with magical prowess, or a guide filled with useful tips and tricks, each NPC is designed to add a different flavor to your gameplay and assist you in various aspects of your Terraria journey.
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have the hoverboard! And we can all agree on the coolness of the hoverboard. He's kind of cute too.
It is worth the hassle because it looks awesome and sells great items.
Don't forget about him. Honestly, I think he is alright, but it was a hassle getting him out of the dungeon.
"Yo, I heard you like rockets and running shoes, so I put rockets in your running shoes." I love this guy.
He is my favorite for the reforge option. He sells the rocket boots, and he is a smart nerd like me. Also, he is part of the dating thing (there are only four NPCs that are part of dating: Nurse and Arms Dealer, and Goblin with Mechanic).
Honestly, I'm a big mechanism geek, and I wouldn't have wires if it wasn't for her.
He sells mana potions, which are OP if you are specializing in mage. He also provides the crystal ball and spell tomes, all essentials for a good wizard playthrough.
He doesn't sell extra stuff during events, but some of his stuff is really useful.
Pew pew. Without him, there would be no Megashark or Onyx Blaster.
Some of his stuff is good, and the mini shark crafts my favorite item, the Mega Shark.
Without him, I wouldn't ever have gotten bait.
She looks awesome with her outfit. The steampunk wings are awesome, and the teleporter is great for traveling. The jetpack is also nice, and the Clentaminator and the green solution are very useful. The steampunk outfit she sells looks nice on the protagonist.
The Guide has to be the most useful and abused NPC throughout the game. The man not only introduces you to the world but also makes an attempt to protect you. Even after getting to know the game, he is still useful in giving you crafting recipes for any item in the game.
He is one of the few NPCs who provides his services for free to help you. And then you take his kindness and throw it into the lava so that you can finally advance to the next level.
The man deserves a break. Give him your vote - he's literally the key to unlocking more than half of the game.
The Newcomers
I don't care what you are going to say. I don't care if it's not an NPC. It's a bunny. And killing bunnies is cruel. Period.
This is easily the best NPC in the game. Super useful during boss fights!
The easy way of summoning the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu.
Cute, fun, and excited about everything. She is definitely a novelty NPC, but her attitude is amazing, and she loves partying. What else could you want?
This may sound weird, and the Goblin Tinkerer is probably better, but the Painter is great!
He sells tons of paint, which you can combine with other paints to paint any block! He offers so much creativity. Say you like the look of Cobalt Brick but want it red. He can do that. Gold Brick walls look nice, but what if they were black? You can do that!
Not only this, but he also sells different paintings, some depending on the biome he is in. This is great for decoration if you are building a house in a certain biome, such as in the sky or in the desert.
He sells one more thing though: an assortment of wallpapers. These are unlike any kind of wallpaper, as you can have a rainbow wall or a duck wall to make houses feel more comfortable than battlegrounds.
The default hairstyles suck, and it is kind of easy to find.
