The Painter is a friendly guy who loves to decorate houses. When he shows up in your Terraria world, he’s ready to sell you lots of fun paints and wallpapers to help you give your base a shiny new coat of paint — literally! In today’s guide, we’ll show you where to find the Painter in Terraria Mobile and why they are needed!
Where to Find the Painter
NPCs in Terraria can be found in one of two ways: they’re either wandering around the world and you must discover them while out on your adventures, or they move in automatically whenever you expand your town.
Thankfully, the Painter belongs to the latter group! He will move into your town after there are at least eight other NPCs living there, and you have an open room for him to take.
Why the Painter is Needed
The Painter is your earliest gateway into decorating your bases, as he sells the Paintbrush and Paint Roller, the tools needed to paint blocks and walls, respectively. Of course, this means that he isn’t absolutely crucial to beating Terraria, but come on… you don’t want to go through the whole game without making a cool house, right?
Both the Paintbrush and Paint Roller sell for one gold each. Of courses, you’ll also need buckets of paint which the Painter also sells for 25 copper a bucket. The Painter also sells fun paintings to spruce up any room in your town, or decorative wallpapers to give any room a little more personality.
The Painter will always sell painting tools, buckets, and wallpapers, but he’ll also sell special items depending on several factors, including what biome his house is in, the current moon phase, or if you’re in hardmode. Here’s a complete list of the things he sells! Note that if nothing is listed under conditions, that means it’s always available.
