How do I make the Nurse NPC happy in Terraria?

To make the Nurse NPC happy in Terraria, you need to understand the NPC happiness system, which was introduced in the 1.4 update. This system allows NPCs to have preferences for specific biomes and neighbors, which directly affects their happiness. A happy NPC will offer discounts on their services and, in some cases, sell unique items. For the Nurse, her happiness is influenced by her preferred biome, her preferred neighbors, and her disliked neighbors. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to make the Nurse happy.

First, letÔÇÖs talk about the NurseÔÇÖs preferences. The Nurse prefers the Hallow biome. This means that if you place her in a house located in the Hallow, she will be happier than if she were in other biomes. The Hallow is a bright, colorful biome that is generated after defeating the Wall of Flesh and entering Hardmode. It is characterized by its pastel colors, unicorns, and pixies. If you donÔÇÖt have a Hallow biome near your base, you can create an artificial Hallow by planting Hallow seeds or using the Clentaminator with Blue Solution.

Next, the Nurse has specific preferences for neighbors. She likes to live near the Arms Dealer and the Wizard. The Arms Dealer is an NPC who sells guns and ammunition, and the Wizard sells magical items. Placing the Nurse in a house near these NPCs will increase her happiness. On the other hand, the Nurse dislikes living near the Dryad and the Party Girl. The Dryad is an NPC who sells nature-related items, and the Party Girl sells festive items. If you place the Nurse near these NPCs, her happiness will decrease.

To maximize the NurseÔÇÖs happiness, you should place her in a house in the Hallow biome, with the Arms Dealer and the Wizard as her neighbors. You can achieve this by building a small town in the Hallow with houses for the Nurse, Arms Dealer, and Wizard. Make sure that the houses are close enough to each other so that the NPCs are considered neighbors. You can check if the NPCs are neighbors by opening the housing menu and seeing if their names appear next to each other.

When building the houses, make sure they meet the basic requirements for NPC housing. Each house must be at least 6 blocks wide and 10 blocks tall, with walls, a light source, a table, and a chair. You can use any type of block for the walls and floor, but make sure the house is fully enclosed. You can also decorate the houses with furniture and other items to make them more appealing.

One common mistake players make is placing the Nurse in a biome she doesnÔÇÖt like, such as the Corruption or Crimson. These biomes will decrease her happiness, and she will charge higher prices for her services. Another mistake is placing her near NPCs she dislikes, such as the Dryad or Party Girl. This will also decrease her happiness. To avoid these mistakes, always check the NurseÔÇÖs preferences before placing her in a house.

Advanced techniques for maximizing the NurseÔÇÖs happiness include creating multiple towns in different biomes. For example, you can have one town in the Hallow with the Nurse, Arms Dealer, and Wizard, and another town in the Forest with the Dryad and Party Girl. This way, you can keep all the NPCs happy and take advantage of their discounts and unique items. You can also use the Pylon system to quickly travel between towns. Pylons are special items that allow you to teleport between different biomes, and they can only be purchased from NPCs who are happy.

In terms of resource requirements, you will need a variety of materials to build the houses and create the Hallow biome. For the houses, you will need wood, stone, and other building materials. For the Hallow biome, you will need Hallow seeds or Blue Solution for the Clentaminator. You can obtain Hallow seeds by breaking plants in the Hallow biome, and you can purchase Blue Solution from the Steampunker NPC.

Class and equipment considerations are not directly related to making the Nurse happy, but having a strong character will help you gather the necessary resources and defend your base from enemies. If you are in Hardmode, you should have good armor and weapons to deal with the stronger enemies in the Hallow biome. The NurseÔÇÖs services will be especially useful during boss battles and events, so keeping her happy will give you access to cheaper healing and other benefits.

In summary, to make the Nurse happy in Terraria, place her in a house in the Hallow biome with the Arms Dealer and Wizard as her neighbors. Avoid placing her near the Dryad or Party Girl, and make sure her house meets the basic requirements. Use advanced techniques like creating multiple towns and using the Pylon system to maximize her happiness. Gather the necessary resources and prepare your character for the challenges of the Hallow biome. By following these steps, you can keep the Nurse happy and take advantage of her discounts and services.
