Hire The Wanderer as a Companion
Finding The Wanderer
Unlike hostile humans, The Wanderer is a peaceful traveler who can be recruited as an ally. This unique mob spawns in villages and offers a different interaction than combat encounters.
Recruitment Process
- Locate villages: Search for naturally generated or player-built villages in your world.
- Identify The Wanderer: Look for a human NPC distinct from regular villagers. The Wanderer appears as a traveler rather than a profession-specific villager.
- Pay the fee: Interact with The Wanderer and pay the required fee to hire them. The exact cost varies, so bring valuable trade goods or emeralds.
Using Your Companion
Once hired, The Wanderer follows you and provides support:
- Combat assistance: Your companion fights hostile mobs and humans alongside you.
- Inventory help: Having an ally increases your effective carrying capacity through shared resources.
- Exploration safety: Travel with a companion reduces the danger of surprise human ambushes.
Keep your hired Wanderer well-fed and away from hazards to maintain their usefulness.
