This is a Town NPC. A House may be required in order for it to appear.

The Wayfarer is an NPC vendor that will spawn once the following conditions have been met:

• There is an empty house.

There are two variants of the Wayfarer, based on the world's evil biome: Zephos, who spawns in worlds with The Corruption, and Daerel, who spawns in worlds with The Crimson. The two variants differ in design, dialogue, items sold, and quests. The other variant becomes available after defeating the Dark Slime mini boss, stylized as Zephos the Slicer and Daerel the Dark Hunter respectively.

When threatened by enemies, Zephos will defend himself with a Noble's Sword initially, Zephos' Sword Slicer after completing the 5th quest, and Mythril's Bane as the Slicer; and Daerel will defend himself with a Warden's Bow initially, Daerel's Silverwood Bow after completing the 5th quest, and Daerel's Dark-Steel Bow as the Dark Hunter.

Buffs

The Wayfarer are able to provide two different buffs based on the variant of Wayfarer the player has, and how many quests the player has completed:

Zephos Tier Buff Price Effect Initial Sharpened 5 +4 armor penetration Shined Armor 15 +4 defense Post-Quest 5 Sharpened II 25 +16 increased armor penetration Shined Armor II 80 +8 defense Slicer Sharpened III 250 +32 increased armor penetration Shined Armor III 5 +16 defense

All buffs last for 10 minutes.

Quests

The Wayfarer will assign the player quests to retrieve special items. Each quest must be completed in sequence, and are separated into 5 Pre-Hardmode quests and 5 Hardmode quests. Each quest rewards the player with a certain number of Reward Bags, which contain various items.

After completing the 5th quest, the Wayfarer will obtain their gear, increasing their stats.

Zephos

Tier Quest Item Description Rewards Notes PHM Bucket o' Chicken Before completion: "Quest? Normally I'm the one who needs quests, cos' I'm as poor as a chicken! Oh! That gave me an idea, give me a bucket of chicken! When a chicken dies while they're on fire, they'll drop Fried Chicken! You'll also need some wood for the bucket." Reward Bag Fried Chicken After completion: "HECK YEAH, CHICKEN! Thank ya, bro! Here's something for ya. It's a goodie bag with random stuff I found on my adventures. Oh, you want some chicken too? I'll give you a piece!" Ruby Skull Before completion: "Alright so, I asked this travelling merchant if I could do any quests for some coin, 'cos he looked rich, and he was like 'You could find me a relic known as the Skull of Bloodstone.' Apparently it's some enchanted skull with ruby eyes, and he'd give me a giant reward if I found it. So, since I got no idea where it is, just find me a skull and put 2 rubies in it's eyes. That could fool him, and I get lots-a-money!" Reward Bag Traveling Merchant has a chance to sell the Totally Legit Skull of Bloodstone after completion. After completion: "That looks like an 'enchanted skull' to me! Thanks! I got something for you too. I'm giving you a reward for making me get a reward, reward-ception." The Ultimate Dish Before completion: "That bucket of chicken was great, could you get me another one? Wait, no, that's not enough. Oh how about this, Make me something big! Like the ultimate dish! Cooked Shrimp, Sashimi, Pho, and Pad Thai all combined into one! ... What are you looking at? I'm hungry alright!" Reward Bag After completion: "Woah! You actually did it. Thank ya, bro! Travelling around can be tiring so I need big meals like these." Vepdor's Headgear Before completion: "I got this contract to kill some undead dude called 'Vepdor', apparently the person knew him before he died, and wants his headgear as a thing to remember. Why don't I do it for once? Well, it's for... personal reasons. I don't want to face another skeleton for a while. So when you're in the caverns, look out for a skeleton wearing strange headgear and black & purple clothing. Cheers." (Completable after The Keeper is defeated) Reward Bag After completion: "Thanks dude, I'll give the person the headgear and I can get some sweet money!" Zephos' Sword Slicer Before completion: "I recently got a cool new sword, I call it the Slicer, but unfortunately it broke while fighting a great beast! The fragments of it are still stuck in it's extra thick hide. I'm asking for a lot, but without my cool sword I'm basically useless, could you find it and slay it? It'll be in the jungle area. It's big so won't be too hard to find." (Completable after The Keeper is defeated) Reward Bag × 3 Zephos' stats increase after completion. After completion: "You did it! Nice, I got my sword back. Now I can kill things without your help!" HM Bottled Lost Soul Before completion: "I've recently started seeing spooky lost souls roaming about, no idea why though. As for a job for you, I think it'd be pretty epic if you caught one for me and put it in a bottle for me to show off! I'm selling a vacuum-sealed bottle for 100% free! Get one and catch a Lost Soul with a Bug Net while holding it!" Reward Bag After completion: "Look at the little thing, it's beautiful! Nicely done, brochacho!" Adamantite Sword Sheath or Titanium Sword Sheath Before completion: "Hey okay so you know how I use a sword? Well the sheath for my sword is pretty wack now. So yo bro, basically my sheath broke, can you get me one what won't break as easily? Maybe an adamantite or titanium one is fine." Reward Bag After completion: "Perfect! A sheath fit for a handsome and strong swordsdude as myself!" Zweihander Before completion: "Before me and Daerel got seperated, he told me about some strange sword from his world, it's called the Zwyhander... Zihander? Zyhander? Zweihander? Whatever the name is, do you think you can craft that for me? I'm sure this cool sword will make all the ladies fall for me!" Reward Bag After completion: "Never expected it to be this big! It's glorious! You've done it again, bro. Great crafting." Elixir of Courage Before completion: "Now as you'll know, I'm a very courageous, handsome, and cool dude, but whenever I try to talk to a lady I always have trouble, ya know? I really could use something to help me, like, I donno... A potion of courage? Yeah, that'll do the trick." Reward Bag After completion: "Now I can really shine with this, all the ladies will fall for me once I talk to them! Woo!" Mythril's Bane Before completion: "Yo bro! I found Daerel! One problem, he's stuck in a giant slime creature! I tried to get 'im out, but I lose my new sword in there, so I had to make a rightous retreat. You can take it down, right? I found it in the corruption or crimson or whatever that evil land is called, I'm also selling an item to lure it easier, so go get it!" Reward Bag × 3 Zephos transforms into Zephos the Slicer after completing this quest. After completion: "Daerel is saved? You got my spicy sword back? Nice job, we'll be unstoppable now!"

Daerel

Tier Quest Item Description Rewards Notes PHM Shell Necklace Before completion: "You asking me for quests? I won't be giving you any money for them, cos I need money just as much as you do. I can give you a goodie bag with random junk I find on my adventures. Anyway, could you craft me a necklace out of Tree Bug and Coast Scarab Shells? No, it isn't for me. I just want something to sell to a merchant." Reward Bag Merchant begins to sell the Shell Necklace after completion. After completion: "Thanks, I'm sure this'll sell for good money, it's even made with silver! Or is that tungsten? I don't know my metals." Hiker's Backpack Before completion: "Exploring this strange island can be a hassle, so could you make some equipment that'll help me? A rope hook, an axe, a fishing pole, some throwing knives, and a backpack could be very useful." Reward Bag After completion: "Nice, this will come in handy. Here's your reward." Patching Kit Before completion: "My cloak will inevitably get torn while roaming around this land, there are a lot of monsters here, so maybe give me a Patching Kit. It needs tattered cloth, silk, and some black thread. Thanks." Reward Bag After completion: "You sure are a master of crafting. In fact, you are a master of a lot of things, combat, crafting, mining, exploring. Where did you come from actually? Were you born here?"" Ultimate Potion Before completion: "This one will take some time, unless you have someone who sells everything, but I've been thinking... Carrying a bunch of potions can be a hassle, so what if you combined all of them together into one ultimate potion cocktail! I'd like potions of Nightshade, Restoration, Regeneration, Hunter, Dangersense, Archery, Endurance, Ironskin, Nightowl, and Swiftness in the potion. Reward Bag × 2 After completion: "Wow! It's very colourful. I wonder how it tastes... Only one way to find out! Oh, and here is your 2 reward bags." Daerel's Silverwood Bow Before completion: "I recently was given a new bow, but I lost it while running away from a jungle beast! I've read about them, they are known as Mossy Goliaths. Sorry if this is asking a lot, but could you kill it and get my bow back? You should find it in the jungle, presumably sleeping. Thanks in advance." (Completable after The Keeper is defeated) Reward Bag × 3 Daerel's stats increase after completion. After completion: "You killed it and repaired my bow? Oh, the Fallen repaired it? Hey, you killed that beast so thank you, here are not 1, not 2, but 3 reward bags!" HM Bottled Lost Soul Before completion: "I've started seeing lost souls out and about, I'm not sure what this means but could you catch one for me to keep? I'm selling a vacuum-sealed bottle for free so have that with you when catching a Lost Soul with a Bug Net." Reward Bag After completion: "Interesting, I'll keep this on me and study it." Invisibility Cloak Before completion: "I've been starting to learn magic, and I've recently discovered I can only use Shadow Magic. But I got no idea how magic works, like I know magic is an extension to ones soul, but how would I, say, become invisible? Anyway, while I'm learning, could you make me an invisible cloak? It will be useful for sneaking around, and other reasons." Reward Bag After completion: "Oh cool you actually made one. By the way, when I said 'other reasons', it's not what you think I swear. I meant like pranking Zephos when I see him again, not anything bad!" Parthius Before completion: "I'm not too sure what to make you do, maybe something you could craft for me to sell for money. Actually, how about a fancy golden bow with gems in it? I can sell it or use it, so I see no reason not to make it." Reward Bag After completion: "That is certainly a fancy bow, and now it's mine, haha. Thanks for making it." Enchanted Map Before completion: "I've been exploring this land for a while now, but I often get lost. There are no maps of this island from what I've seen, so how about making a map for me? Not just any map, but an Enchanted Map, one that gets bigger the more land I discover! Imagine that." Reward Bag After completion: "Thanks for the map, I'll use it to help me find Zephos, he's gotta be around here somewhere..." Daerel's Dark-Steel Bow Before completion: "I got good news and bad news, good news is I finally found Zephos, bad news is he's trapped in a giant slime... I found it in the corruption... or was it crimson? Uh, I'll just say evil biome. I need you to find it and kill it so Zephos can escape, also because it ate my new bow. I'll sell an item to lure it to you quicker." Reward Bag × 3 Daerel transforms into Daerel the Dark Hunter after completing this quest. After completion: "Zephos is saved? Good job! And you got my bow back? Nice, here are 3 reward bags."

It was a dude with a soggy beard and pale-green skin, he also had a cutlass. Did I fight him? No, ghosts are... uh... not my type of opponent! Yeah, that." (During the night of a Full Moon)
• "This island's gotta lotta chickens! Ever wonder where they came from? Back in Anglon, there are way deadlier chickens, called Anglonic Forest Hens.

• "In Anglon there's this hotty called Dragonslayer Gwyn, as the name implies, she slays dragons. Where did dragons come from anyway? Daerel told me they all come from Thamor. He also told me about Goliathon, apparently it was a dragon the size of a country! It's dead now obviously."
• "Back when I was a pirate lad, I'd constantly hear tales of Naakseth, Lord of the Sea. I don't remember any of them though, I'm sure he won't be important anyway."
• "Back when I got my arm cut off by the Twilight Slasher, I woke up in a mansion with an old lady healing me, that's when I met Asteria, she's certainly an interesting character... She's a Royal Knight - Anglon's strongest unit of knights. She also has blonde-white hair, orange eyes, oh, and did I tell you she's literally double the size of a normal person!? No wonder Anglon made her a Royal Knight, I've heard she's extremely strong too!"

This island's jungle is a lot more tame. Apparently there's a species of half-cat humans called Nekums in Erellon's jungles. Knowing that kinda makes me wanna explore there..."

Notes

Unconscious Wayfarers

• Zephos and Daerel, along with the Friendly T-Bot, are not slain when their health is brought to zero, unlike other town NPCs. Instead, they are knocked unconscious. The unconscious Wayfarer will automatically wake up after 12 to 42 minutes, but can be manually woken up early with a Revival Potion.
