Terraria – In Terraria, what are the conditions to spawn a Goblin Arthe, and what time does it spawn

terraria

I'm trying to get a Goblin army to spawn. Thus far I have:

  • Destroyed 1 Shadow Orb
  • Have at least 200 HP currently
  • and have not seen an invasion yet this game.

At what time does the Goblin Army usually spawn? When I say time, I mean what time in the night (i.e. 12am, 1am, 2am, etc…). Am I missing any pre-requisites to getting the army to spawn?

Best Answer

Goblin Invasions are besides the requirements randomly triggered, you could wait for a long time.

The requirements are pretty much as you already state:

  • One player in the game must have 200+ current life.
  • There must not have been an invasion within 7 in-game days.
  • At least 1 Shadow Orb must have been destroyed.

Further the wiki links to a forum discussion that states:

It triggers at the very start of day.

I would love to include his C# converted source code in here as well, but the formatting goes bananas

Also as Yves wrote, you could also farm the Scouts to make a Goblin Battle Standard

Using 10 Tattered Cloth, dropped by Goblin Scouts and 5 Wood, at a Loom.
