Imagine that you are somewhere far away from your base when a message appears:
"Riley the Traveling Merchant has arrived!"
You immedeately gaze into your magic mirror to get back home and run to check his wares in hopes to see a Pulse Bow or a Martian painting as a reward for defeating the invasion, but...
...he only sells ultrabright torches, pad thai and dynasty wood.
This happens to me everytime. I sometimes get angry and execute the Travelling Merchant, and that gave me this idea.
What if killing the Travelling Merchant made him arrive with completely different wares next time?
I propose the following item:
Traveling Merchant Voodoo Doll
Accessory
Tooltip: 'You are a terrible person.'
Rarity: White
Price: 2
This doll is dropped by any enemy with 0,5% chance when the Travelling Merchant is present.
Or, alternatively, it could be also crafted with
Guide Voodoo Doll and
Peddler's Hat by hand.
Obviously, you can kill the Travelling Merchant on your own while having this equipped or just drop it in lava.
When you do so, all the items he currently sells are added to a "blacklist". The next time the Travelling Merchant arrives, if he gets a blacklisted item, the game will reroll it until a new item is not in the blacklist. The blacklist clears when Travelling Merchant's inventory finishes generating.
Edit: this doesn't work in multiplayer.
That's my simple suggestion. Thanks for reading, and feedback is appreciated!
