~THE EXPLORER~
An NPC like the Travelling Merchant. Instead of selling wares, The Explorer allows you to trade corrupt/crimson materials for their alternative equivalents (aka 3 ores of crimtane for 3 ores of demonite, or 3 shadow scales for 3 tissue samples, or a Panic Necklace for a Band of Starpower). A small fee would be charged for each transaction depending on the rarity and number of materials being traded.
~THE BLACKSMITH~
Allows one to craft weapons and armor using less materials for a small fee and a wait period (example: Blacksmith can craft a Gold Pick for only 6 of the 12 bars of gold you'd originally need, and charge you 20 silver for the work. He would complete the pick in 3 in-game days and you would come pick it up after).
Additionally, once the server enters HardMode, the BlackSmith can imbue any weapon with stats of a stronger but similar weapon (aka a Raven Staff can be given the stats of a Stardust Dragon Staff by giving the BlackSmith both weapons. The Stardust Dragon Staff would be consumed in the process and the Raven Staff would now have similar stats). If the BlackSmith dies, any items you gave him to work on an order will be dropped from his corpse.
