We tell you what happiness is and how you can increase it in each of the Terraria characters.Most of us can agree that, as sad as it may sound, Terraria ‘s NPCs are only of interest to us in order to obtain certain key items at certain points in our adventure. The thing is, many of these items are quite expensive at the beginning , and thanks to ” Happiness “, we can settle the score a bit with them.
How to make NPCs happy in Terraria
Happiness is a mechanic that was implemented in Terraria after the “Journey’s End” update, which mainly consists of being a statistic and, depending on how high or low the percentage is in each character, they will sell us their products more expensive or cheaper .

Most NPCs, excluding the Traveling Merchant and the Skeleton Merchant, have certain discount limits , which are affected by certain conditions. If you want to take a look at what each character likes, I recommend you read the previously published character guide , which we have left here handy for you.
If you don’t want to pay a fortune for certain products, it’s best to take the personal space and happiness of each NPC seriously, since as you’ve seen, it’s no joke to them, and they can steal a ton of coins from you.
How to Tell if Terraria NPCs Are Happy
Finding out is quite simple, since to do so you will have to approach one of them and interact with it. As usual, a small dialogue will open, where you can choose between three options . One of them will be “Happiness”. From what it tells you, you can get an idea of its mood and, in addition, it will give you clues about what it likes or what keeps it from sleeping.
