How To Unlock Pylons in Terraria
To unlock and get Pylons in Terraria player will need to go ahead and purchase them from Vendor NPCs for some amount of Gold. Other than the Gold one more factor that helps you get these crystals is the Happiness system. This system was introduced in the 1.4 updates, where you have to make the Vendor NPC happy. And only then the Pylon will be available for sale in the Vendor NPCs inventory.
