Clothier

Liberation from the ancient dungeon curse

The Clothier does not appear until players defeat Skeletron at the Dungeon entrance. Old Man, transforming the tormented sentry into a dapper tailor who gladly moves into any unoccupied house with a table and chair.

He possesses 250 life and 15 defense. Unlike timid residents who flee from danger, he actively defends his home by slinging shadowy skulls reminiscent of the Book of Skulls magic weapon. These homing projectiles damage encroaching monsters repeatedly, making him surprisingly formidable during blood moons and nighttime invasions.

Tailored garments and thematic vanity wares

His inventory is filled with purely decorative attire, vanity accessories, and specialized crafting goods for players who enjoy dressing up their avatars. He stocks various shirts, jackets, pants, and novelty headgear that rotate based on moon phases and world events, including spooky masks during festive autumn seasons.

Tailors seeking custom clothes can purchase Thread from him for crafting decorative vanity pieces, while constructing his home within a Graveyard mini-biome unlocks Black Thread and somber Funeral garments. He also offers the Familiar set, enabling characters to display their original base appearance over functional armor pieces without sacrificing any defensive statistics.

Underground tailor shop and curse mitigation

The tailor thrives in quiet subterranean workshops where surface daylight cannot penetrate his sewing chambers. The preference table above outlines his exact biome and neighbor preferences.

Constructing his home in the Cavern layer near preferred companions lowers the price of luxury vanity garments, threads, and seasonal costumes while granting access to the Cavern Pylon. If a player equips a Clothier Voodoo Doll, he becomes vulnerable to player attacks, allowing players to slay him at night to re-awaken Skeletron. Dying from any source drops his signature Red Hat at 100%.
