How do I make the Angler NPC happy in Terraria?
To make the Angler NPC happy in Terraria, you need to understand the NPC happiness system, which was introduced in the 1.4 update. Happiness affects the prices of items sold by NPCs, the availability of certain items, and even the ability to obtain unique items like the Pylon network, which allows for fast travel between biomes. The Angler, like other NPCs, has specific preferences for biomes and neighbors, and keeping him happy requires careful planning and placement.
The Angler prefers to live in the Ocean biome. This is his favorite biome, and placing him here will significantly boost his happiness. If you place him in any other biome, his happiness will decrease. Additionally, the Angler likes the Princess and the Party Girl as neighbors. Having one of these NPCs nearby will further increase his happiness. However, he dislikes the Pirate and the Tavernkeep, so avoid placing him near these NPCs. If you place him near NPCs he dislikes or in a biome he dislikes, his happiness will drop, and he will charge higher prices for his services.
To maximize the Angler's happiness, you should build a house for him in the Ocean biome. The Ocean biome is located at either the far left or far right of the world map, depending on the world's generation. You can identify the Ocean biome by the presence of water, sand blocks, and unique enemies like Crabs and Sharks. Build a suitable house for the Angler using blocks and furniture. The house should meet the basic requirements for NPC housing, including walls, a light source, a table, and a chair. Once the house is ready, assign the Angler to it by talking to him and selecting the "Housing" option.
Next, ensure that the Angler has a preferred neighbor. The Princess and the Party Girl are the best choices. If you have not yet unlocked the Princess, focus on the Party Girl. The Party Girl can be obtained by having at least 8 other NPCs in your world and a suitable house for her. Once you have the Party Girl, place her in a house near the Angler's Ocean biome house. This will further increase his happiness.
One common mistake players make is placing the Angler in a biome he dislikes, such as the Desert or Jungle. While these biomes may seem convenient, they will reduce his happiness and increase his prices. Another mistake is placing him near NPCs he dislikes, such as the Pirate or Tavernkeep. Always check the Angler's preferences before finalizing his housing arrangement.
Advanced techniques for optimizing the Angler's happiness include creating a Pylon network. Pylons are special items that allow for fast travel between biomes, but they can only be purchased from NPCs who are happy. To obtain an Ocean Pylon, you need to have at least two NPCs in the Ocean biome who are happy. Since the Angler prefers the Ocean biome, he is a good candidate for this. Pair him with the Party Girl or Princess, and ensure both are happy. Once you meet these conditions, you can purchase the Ocean Pylon from either NPC.
Resource requirements for building the Angler's house in the Ocean biome include sand blocks, wood, and other basic building materials. You may also need to craft furniture like tables, chairs, and torches. If you plan to create a Pylon network, you will need additional resources to build houses for other NPCs in the Ocean biome.
In terms of class and equipment considerations, building the Angler's house does not require specific gear. However, if you are playing in Expert or Master mode, you may need to prepare for Ocean biome enemies like Sharks and Crabs. Equip armor and weapons suitable for your class to defend yourself while building.
A specific example of optimizing the Angler's happiness is creating a small Ocean village. Build houses for the Angler, Party Girl, and Princess in the Ocean biome. Ensure each house meets the basic requirements and is placed close enough to count as neighbors. This setup will maximize the Angler's happiness, allowing you to purchase the Ocean Pylon and enjoy fast travel to the Ocean biome.
In summary, making the Angler happy involves placing him in the Ocean biome, giving him preferred neighbors like the Party Girl or Princess, and avoiding disliked NPCs and biomes. By following these steps, you can ensure the Angler is happy, reduce his prices, and unlock the Ocean Pylon for fast travel.
