NPCs & Enemies The upgraded guide

[Night]

The guide can be pretty helpful sometimes. He knows all the recipes and is willing to tell you them...but we could go even further.
At first I thought about suggesting an extra npc for this but the guide would be just the right person for this...


If you put a banner into the guide's slot he will tell you various facts about the monster and will show you what items it can drop.

Edit: He tells you about a boss if you hand him the trophy.


Just as simple as that. I thought it would be pretty interesting and also helpful.
Tell me what you think about this below c:! Feedback is very apreciated.

PS: At first I thought a new NPC called the monster specialist would be cool but I don't think we'd need him/her if the guide would fit this just as well.

While the idea is good, I'd much prefer an in-game bestiary. It would show you drop chances once items dropped, etc., and would work for bosses and monsters that don't have banners (or don't have unique banners)

That's a pretty good idea as well. Maybe you could obtain some sort of encyclopedia item from shelves in the dungeon, like waterbolt.



Or maybe that's a terrible idea. And I shouldn't bother participating.

I had the idea as well but I thought the guide would be more fitting as an info source since we never had an actual book we could read in Terraria.

Or maybe you could make a bestiary with books and something else, and adding a banner to it adds the enemy to the bestiary?
