How many NPCs do I need to buy a pylon?
To buy a pylon, you need at least one NPC who sells items and is happy with a sale modifier of 90% or better, and there must be another NPC near the vendor NPC, but the second NPC does not need to be a vendor. The NPCs must be in their specific biome and not in an evil biome, such as Corruption or Crimson, and after purchasing, two NPCs need to be housed nearby for the pylon to be functional.
General Information about Pylons
Pylons can be bought from any NPC who sells items, given that they are in the biome and also are sufficiently happy enough, for example, a happy Merchant in the Forest will sell a Forest Pylon, and a happy Stylist in the Ocean will sell an Ocean Pylon.
