Hey guys Crafty here!
Ever had trouble with spawning the helpful (well, most of them) NPCs?
...
I'm guessing no one. But I made this guide just incase anyone has problems!
Here's the complete guide! If you want to know what requirements are needed to spawn the NPC, just click the SPOILER with the NPC's role.
NOTE: ALL NPCs need a house to move into, except Travelling Merchant.
Now for Hardmode NPCs. These NPCs spawn when the requirements are met, and the world is in Hardmode.
Event NPCs. These NPCs spawn at their own time
Hope this guide helps you! Stay crafty!
