How to Get the Happiest NPC in Terraria

To get the happiest NPC in Terraria, you need to ensure that their happiness is positively affected by crowding, biome preference, and NPC preference, which can be achieved by providing them with a suitable living environment, such as a loved biome or liked NPC, and avoiding crowding, as a lack of crowding multiplies the total happiness by 95%. By creating a happy environment, you can increase the happiness of your NPCs, which in turn affects various transactions with them, including vendor prices for selling and buying items.

Understanding NPC Happiness

What Affects NPC Happiness

NPC happiness is affected by several factors, including crowding, biome preference, and NPC preference. A loved biome or liked NPC can increase happiness, while disliked biomes or NPCs can decrease it.

Creating a Happy Environment

To create a happy environment, you need to provide your NPCs with a suitable living space, including a chair, table, and lighting fixture, and ensure that the space is closed with a wall and a door. You can also use pylons to increase happiness in specific biomes.
