Wondering Merchant

[Emelio Lizardo]

One of my merchants escaped their room. How do I lure him back?

[Oblivion]

kill him and drag the corpse back.

[Jeris]

pick up his spawn item and then set it back down. he will return.

Rebuild the area required to spawn that specific merchant.
I usually build 4x4 room, basic bed, and their item.
Then lock them in like a prisoner.

I got so sick of that happening. So what I did was use electric doors with a pressure plate on both sides. If I'm not standing on a plate, door is shut. No chance of the bastards escaping.

[Emelio Lizardo]

He finally wandered back into the room. Then the next one just wandered out of his room right through the walls. No door was open.

I set them all up with their own little rooms (3x2 is the smallest that works) and always made sure to close the doors but they still teleported out at some point while I was out in the wilds or ocean biomes.
Anyone know how/why they can suddenly teleport out of their rooms/prison cells?

I think this is a glitch, or a bug. my animals do the same thing and the feeding bin is in the center of a room so no glitching through walls that way. It may just affect all non hostile creatures/ npc's. Although it's annoying because this is a well known glitch; yet it is still there.

What items are needed for each npc?

You get them from the bosses.
Only exception is the calendar you can make for the seasonal trader
