Locke The Salesman, also known as Locke or Locke The Traveling Salesman, is a non-solid NPC foreground block which was added as part of the Locke The Traveling Salesman update on March 22, 2015.

Function

During a random day during the first and second half of a month, Locke appears in a random world for ten minutes, then leaves for another world.

When Locke arrives in a world, the message "Locke has stopped by the world <world name>! Go buy stuff from him!" will be sent to 500 random players. If that world happens to be jammed, the message "Pssst... hey guys! It's me, Locke! Since this world is jammed, my visit will just be our little secret. Come buy stuff from me, quick!" will be sent instead. Once the ten-minute visit is over, Locke will immediately disappear and appear in another world.

Locke allows players to purchase items listed below from him for locks. When the player opens Locke's menu, he will give a comment on how many locks the player currently has in their inventory.

Item	Cost	Description

World Lock	5 Huge Locks	Overburdened with Huge Locks? This World Lock is just what you need - it'll lock up an entire world at once!
Locke's Mystery Box	1 World Lock	Now here's a deal that can't be beat! For just one lousy World Lock, hardly worth even the effort of handing to me, I'll give you one of Locke's Fabulous Boxes of Unending Mystery! But here's a tip, kid - the mystery actually ends as soon as you open the box. What's inside is anybody's guess, but if it ain't worth a World Lock, why heck sir, then I ain't worth a toad in a drag race! Buy one today! Buy ten! NO REFUNDS hehe sucker
Basic Blue Block	1 World Lock	This is the most completely ordinary block in the world. It is blue. Want it?
Guild Chest	1 World Lock	A chest with Guild Items. Locke likey likey!
Transdimensional Vaporizer Ray	3 World Locks	Want to take out background blocks without destroying foreground blocks? This bad boy has you covered.
Pet Trainer Whistle	5 World Locks	Fancy a challenge? Blow this whistle to call up one of the mighty Pet Trainers to battle! You'll need to have a fully loaded Battle Leash with 2 pets to fight them. You should also know that they won't stick around forever - they get bored waiting for a fight. So be ready before you blow that whistle!

Birth Certificate	15 World Locks	How would you like a new name? I can't promise you a new life. With this you can change your name though.
Extract-O-Snap	15 World Locks	This is exactly an Extract-O-Snap to be exact. You buying or just spying? It's perfect for picking single items out of stacks in a snap.
Wolf Whistle	15 World Locks	This here whistle is like a key, which is related to locks, so I like it! If you blow the whistle, you'll be transported to the mysterious Wolfworld, a deadly land of traps and terror. If you can survive the Wolfworld, you'll be awarded a gift by the Wolf Spirit. The big problem is, your soul can only stay in the Wolfworld for 10 minutes, so you need to be fast! And of course, the whistle only works once.
Lock Mover	20 World Locks	Tired of your World Lock sitting in the same old boring place in your world all day? Feeling nervous about smashing it and placing a new item? Fret no longer! With my handy-dandy Lock Mover, you can just choose a new spot in your world and slammo blammo, the lock is there! Works with all kinds of world locks.

People always popping into your world uninvited, selling things for world loc... aaanyway, with this handy door, you can specify exactly who you want to allow through. People don't need access to get through this door, they just need to be on the list - a list you write.
Stretched Canvas	30 World Locks	This is a fantast... I mean, a fabulous, astound... ahhh, well... It's a sheet of canvas tied off with some twine. You can put it in your world I guess? Please buy it.
Soul Stone	30 World Locks	I managed to pry this spectral stone from the greedy fingers of a lunatic! These are super-duper-crazy-ultra rare and filled with all kinds of ancestral might, so don't miss your chance to nab one now! That poor madman's loss can be YOUR gain, friend!
Sword Pommel	40 World Locks	Well, I don't have any swords today, but I do have this lovely half of a sword! Interested? I mean, I guess it doesn't actually do anything, but it's still pretty neat, right?

I've got nothing but the finest Burning Eye liniment here! One drop in each eyesocket and flames will be shooting from your eyes for days. Well, for as long as you choose to keep your Burning Eyes equipped that is. The flames from burning eyes reach slightly farther than normal punches as well.

Growtoken	1 Diamond Lock	I have some spare Growtokens I could sell you, but since they're untradeable, I can't trade em for cheap! Hacking the server to allow me to trade them to you is expensive. Plus there's the risk of getting caught. Anyway, once you get them, they're still untradeable, so keep that in mind.
Growmoji Chest	150 World Locks	You want Growmojis? You want rare ones? You want one's previously only available in Monthly Bundles? Yes? Then this is for you. What might you find inside? Slip me some locks and find out.

Harmonic Lock	10 Diamond Locks	A rainbow coloured crystal exudes power through its steampunkish tubes and gears - lock an entire world to broaden the spectrum of required chi for crystal balancing.
Samille's Soul Abductor	10 Diamond Locks	You look like your soul is dark enough... this is just for you! Careful you don't really abduct souls though. Ah, who am I to tell you what to do? Just play safe ok!

Appearance

Locke has the appearance of a shorter-than-average Growtopian wearing the following:

• Pink Fedora (hat)
• Distinguished Grey Hair (hair)
• Pencil Mustache (face)
• Pink Suitcoat (shirt)
• Fancy Pants (pants)

Locke's Wisdom

The Locke's Wisdom feature allows players to ask him about any existing item. Locke will provide the item's description when its name is typed in. Typing in anything inappropriate into Locke's Wisdom will cause the player to respawn and say, "Well, I never!!"

Calling the number 00000 on a Telephone will bring the player to an operator. Entering "Locke" into the field will prompt a response from the operator, asking the player to ask Locke about "Old Gertie". Typing so in Locke's Wisdom prompts a special response from Locke, "Woah, Old Gertie... that brings back memories! Hmm. What can I say... Well, there's a story about Old Gertie. The gist is that she was a blue cow, fit to burst with milk, and she flew over the moon, mooing. That'd be something to see, eh? Yeah. Old stories were pretty stupid."

This is a clue to the Discover The Truth riddle. By harvesting a Cow placed at the topmost left of the world (the cow needs to be painted blue) while a Weather Machine - Night is active, the player will receive Code Block: Charlie instead of Milk from the Cow. Any Cow that fulfills these requirements won't be counted as a provider by the game, and won't count towards any provider-related quest.
