“Goblins are surprisingly easy to anger. In fact, they could start a war over cloth!
The criteria for a Goblin Invasion to occur naturally are as follows:[1]
- It must be daytime (4:30 AM is when it triggers).
- At least one Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart must have been destroyed.
- At least one player must have 200 health or more. (If this is not met the Goblin Battle Standard will not work)
- There must be no Goblin Invasion already in progress.
A Goblin Battle Standard can be used to manually summon the event if a player meets the health requirement, even if no Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart has been smashed.
The Goblin Battle Standard is an item that summons a Goblin Army when used. This can be useful for farming Spiky Balls or in a world where you need to obtain the Goblin Tinkerer and don't want to wait for the random Goblin Army event. It is also useful in Hardmode for farming Goblin Summoners and the shadowflame weapons they drop. The Goblin Battle Standard is consumed when used, so one must be crafted for each invasion the player wishes to summon.
The Tattered Cloth required for crafting the Goblin Battle Standard is obtained by killing Goblin Scouts which spawn occasionally in the East and West two thirds of the world.
