Garden Gnome

The Garden Gnome is a small furniture item formed when a Gnome touches sunlight. A placed Garden Gnome positively influences the player's Luck stat by 0.2. The buff is applied to any players standing within a centered on the Garden Gnome, similar to the Heart Lantern. Additional Garden Gnomes do not increase luck further.
Garden Gnomes have five different sprites when placed (which are functionally identical):
* Facing a direction with its arms akimbo.
* Facing a direction while slouching.
* Facing a direction with its arms on its sides.
* Mooning towards the screen.
* Facing the screen.
== Notes ==
* Sunlight is defined by the following conditions:
** It is daytime (4:30AM to 7:30PM), including Solar Eclipses.
** No background wall is present, including glass and natural walls.
* A Garden Gnome will also form if there are solid blocks above the Gnome. It will not form if the Gnome is under water.
* Using an Actuator to break Gnomes will count towards kill count.
* Once converted into a Garden Gnome, it will not turn back into a Gnome enemy, regardless of time.
== Tips ==
* As they are relatively easy to obtain, it can be advantageous to place them wherever Luck comes into play, e.g. boss arenas and farming locations.
* The way the gnome faces when it is in profile depends on the tile it is placed on; not the direction the player is facing.
* Unlike other buff furniture, the Garden Gnome does not apply a visible buff to the player to show that its effect is active. One can improvise by placing another area-effect object (such as a Campfire or Sunflower) next to the Garden Gnome and looking for that buff icon to estimate whether the luck bonus is being applied.
* Gnome farms are a very good source of money and can be made in Pre-Hardmode at a Living Tree.
* Gnomes have a higher chance of spawning behind a natural Living Wood Wall than a regular wall.
== Trivia ==
* The following are the amount of Garden Gnomes needed for making its luck increase available everywhere for each world size.
** Small world: 237
** Medium world: 542
** Large world: 949
