The Green Cap is (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) a piece of armor / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) a vanity item. It will always drop from the Guide, but only when his name is Andrew. On Old-gen console version Old-gen console, the Guide will always drop the Green Cap, regardless of his name.Verify

Notes

  • (Desktop version) The required NPC names are hard-coded strings when checking condition for name-based NPC drops.[1] As a result, the game's translation and Resource Packs both affect name-based item drops: the Green Cap cannot drop from the Guide if the name Andrew is translated or changed to something else; if a Resource Pack changes any of the applicable names of Guide to Andrew, he will drop the Green Cap when that name is chosen.
  • This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. The Flymeal(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is one of the easiest options; other effective options include traps, lava, drowning, Boulders or Rolling Cacti(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), enemies, Explosive Bunnies, Land Mines, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
    • In addition, equipping the Guide Voodoo Doll allows the player to damage the Guide with any weapon.

Trivia

  • The name Andrew is a reference to the creator and lead developer of Terraria, Andrew "Redigit" Spinks.
  • It has a similar appearance to the cap worn by Luigi, a character from the Mario franchise.
  • It is one of the only three items dropped by NPCs with special names, the others being Jim's Cap(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), which is dropped by a Painter named Jim, and Ivy(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), which is dropped by a Steampunker named Whitney.
