The Ivy is a novelty instrument. It will always drop from the Steampunker, but only when her name is Whitney. When used, the player strums a chord depending on how far the cursor is from the player.

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: Ivy cannot drop from the Steampunker if the name Whitney is translated or changed to something else; if a Resource Pack changes any of the applicable names of Steampunker to Whitney, she will drop Ivy 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).

Trivia

  • This content is transcluded from Instruments/Guitar chords.In order from closest to furthest away from the player, the chords played are as follows: G majorA minorB minorC majorD majorE minor. When the item is selected in the hotbar, the chord the instrument will currently play will be displayed underneath the cursor.
  • The name Whitney is a reference to Whitney "Cenx" Spinks, the lead developer of Terraria and wife of Redigit.
  • It is one of the only three items dropped by NPCs with special names, the others being the Green Cap, which is dropped by a Guide named Andrew, and Jim's Cap, which is dropped by a Painter named Jim.
  • The tooltip is a reference to Redigit's and Cenx's band, Dead Man's Sweater.[2]
