Heliodoros
The Destroyer
Greetings. As stated in September State of the Game "Villagers no longer require a House in order to appear!" which means that they can be kinda homeless. So even villagers will get some love in upcoming update, that's why I've come up with additional idea about our little friends except goblin tinkerer and angler, of course. Let's start.
If NPC has a roof over head and certain amount of happiness (higher than zero) there is a chance that it might request some favor. There will be yellow exclamation sign above it's head "!" for whole day cycle, from 4.30 AM of day (N) to 4.30 AM of day (N + 1).

Villagers' Tasks
These tasks can be asked by any villager NPC. These are divided by two large groups - Favors and Quests
These tasks can be asked by any villager NPC. These are divided by two large groups - Favors and Quests
- Favors are tasks where villagers ask to bring some item for their needs. They explain why this item is needed. For example, Merchant demands 1 Specular Fish. Hey says something like "I want to cook fancy fish dish but turns out I have no Specular Fish. Could you bring me one, I will make it worthwhile".
- Some items are unique for certain NPC. For example - stone, ore, bars are unique for Demolitionist. Dryad never asks for livestock. Dye Trader loves to ask for Dye-related items.
- Quests are tasks where villagers ask to make some chores. Mostly - population control in biome they're currently in. For example Goblin Tinkerer lives underground and complaints about bats being too loud, so you need to destroy certain amount of these.
- Some NPCs give unique quests - Dryad want you to destroy Evil Biome enemies, while Chippy want you to destroy Dungeon Skeletons and Tax Collector wants a demonic termination in the Underworld.
Additions / tweaks regarding tasks
- Happiness level affects quality of rewards and Respect Points (RP) toward certain NPC. If NPC is very happy, then you can max out this bar for good for couple of tasks.
- RP won't ever wear off. Once you achieved max amount of respect, you'll have max amount of discount for their vendor.
- That's why I suggest controversional thing - Happiness itself won't affect prices, it'll only affect the number of RP for Task and also rewards' quality & quantity. Only RP will affect prices in certain NPC vendor.
- This will be the only way to achieve good discounts (buying cheaper, selling more expensive) on DDU & GFB secret seeds.
- Also there is no NPC Happiness so all this Tasks system could work a bit differently on these two seeds. You can suggest your ideas in the comments.
Conclusion
This may be entertaining pastime mainly for pre-Hardmode serving as additional activity and provides the ability to get discounts on DDU & GFB. As huge fan of GFB I really love the idea and want it to be implemented.
Let me know in the comments what did I forget to add, ask questions and suggest something from yourself. I might even add it to this post and refer to you via @ Username. Thank you for reading!
