Greetings to all travelers out there! As a fellow adventurer, I know how important it is to meet with traveling merchants on your journey. They provide essential items and equipment that can help you survive in the harsh world of exploration. However, it can be frustrating to wait for them to appear. That’s why in this article, I will be discussing the spawn mechanics of traveling merchants in detail.
What Are Traveling Merchants?
Traveling Merchants are NPCs that spawn randomly in your world. They sell unique items, including rare equipment, consumables, and decorative items. Unlike regular NPCs, they do not have a fixed location and will appear in different areas of your world.
How Do They Spawn?
Traveling Merchants have specific spawn conditions that must be met before they appear. They can spawn at any time of day and any season. However, there are a few conditions that must be met:
- The player must have at least 2 NPCs living in their world.
- The player must have at least 50 silver coins in their inventory.
- There must be an empty house available for the merchant to move in.
Where Do They Spawn?
Traveling Merchants can spawn anywhere in the world, except for the player’s spawn point, the dungeon, and the underworld. They can spawn on any surface, including the sky islands, the ocean, and the underground. However, they are more likely to spawn near the player’s location, so it’s a good idea to explore different areas of your world.
How Often Do They Spawn?
Traveling Merchants have a 22.12% chance to spawn each day. This means that on average, they will appear once every 4.5 in-game days. However, this is not a fixed time, and it’s possible to go several days without seeing them.
What Happens When They Spawn?
When a Traveling Merchant spawns, the player will receive a message in the chatbox, saying “A Traveling Merchant has arrived!” The merchant will then appear in the world, and the player can interact with them to buy and sell items.
How Long Do They Stay?
Traveling Merchants will stay in the player’s world for one day, after which they will leave. However, they may return on another day, depending on the spawn conditions.
Conclusion
Overall, Traveling Merchants are a valuable resource for any adventurer. By understanding their spawn mechanics, you can increase your chances of meeting them and obtaining rare items. Remember to keep at least 50 silver coins in your inventory and explore different areas of your world. Good luck on your travels!
