So I found a Spider Nest. There was absolutely nothing of use in there. I don't know if there's a drop from the spiders I'm missing or if there's something there in hardmode. Either way, if you're afraid of spiders and aren't in hardmode you can feel free to ignore nests.

I went through 4-5 spider nests with nothing of use in them, but the 6th one did. Not going to spoil it here, but they are worth exploring.

Any item that can be crafted into something else will have "Material" in its text.
Check EVERYTHING for "Material" and put them on the Guide and look at all the poo poo there is to build.
Even if you think you know everything that can be built from an item, put it on him anyways. You may be surprised. so many wings!

Then clean up those bricks when you discover that previously endgame items have at least two more stages to go.

This is all well and good, but while I have the necessary ingredients for Tiger Climbing Gear (Shoe spikes and Climbing Claws) I have no idea how to build it. Do I need a special bench? If so, what kind?

Amazing. I was always kind of disappointed at how lackluster the Goblins were; I want to build a kickass fortress and stage a bloody, bitter defense against a fearsome tide of unholy beasts. Now that clowns no longer destroy terrain, I'm absolutely going to activate Warlord Mode and build my fortress right on the ground, fighting the Hallow and Crimson tooth and nail as they encroach. Looking forward to my first eclipse :black101:

Related question, the Tiger Gear is a material with two other ninja items. Are these items available somewhere before hardmode?

There's a quick stack button on chests that'll hoover up stuff in your inventory that stacks with stuff in the chest. Other than that, you're on your own. Frankly I'm not sure what behavior you'd want an auto-sort button to have.

So has anyone figured out which blocks/walls can be painted? I found grey brick/grey brick walls can't be painted and wood/wood walls can, but other than that I haven't done much experimentation following the grey brick disappointment (since it's what I was building with already).

Also, in the snow biome I found the thing that makes Silt/Slush useful. Is there another one of these for Mud?

If it works the same way as other biomes you just need to pile up couple hundred snow or maybe ice blocks in your tower or in air next to it (disguised as as clouds)

So if I died to Plantera do I need to beat another Hard Mode boss again before its summoning item spawns again? Scouting the entire underground jungle for a single flower gets a wee bit tedious, especially if you're not sure that flower even exists.

Also, I found material for new melee/defense gear in the hardmode underground jungle and new mage gear in the hardmode dungeon, so am I safe to assume there's new ranged gear as well? And if so, any hints where I can find it? Just about the only place I haven't looked yet was the jungle temple, and I kinda doubt the material would be hidden there.

The inferno fork from the corrupt? dungeon lets you cast a fireball that persists for a little while, multi-hitting the gently caress out of anything inside of it. With a spectre set of armor, one fireball can kill a wyvern :3:

Ask me about onklunk extraction.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but boomsticks with meteor shot loaded don't seem to score multi-hits if more than one projectile hits an enemy at once, meaning you're better off using regular ammo with it.

The shotgun is the same, apparently. Kind of a shame - blasting a cloud of buckshot through a group of enemies at once seems like the most intuitive use for a weapon like that.

I know there are tons of new guns, so I'd be very surprised if there weren't new accessories and armour pieces to facilitate a ranged playstyle. Hell, you can get a pretty sweet revolver called THE UNDERTAKER pretty much right off the bat if you have Crimson.

Before the first time I fought Plantera I saw two of the flowers that spawn it. I just checked, the first flower is still there.

It seems like good ranged weapons can drop in the hallow/corrupt dungeon from mobs. I got a rapid-fire shotgun as a drop from one of the creatures in there. The shotbow that you can make with chlorophyte is also very good. It helps to have good ammo for it, like cursed arrows, and the ranged damage bonus from a magic quiver and the ranged chlorophyte set.

Every time I yank a jawbone from a skull and ram it into an eyesocket, I know I'm building a better future.

So what is the deal with Lava? There was a waterfall of it I could walk through with no trouble. But toe high lava that barely shows does 70 damage.

Waterfalls don't have any real properties to them, they're just for show. So they won't wash away torches, slow you down, or cause damage to you if it's lava.

And oddly enough, spawn goldfishes. I've had goldfishes spawn in my lavafalls and then immediately die to the pool of boiling fire beneath :v:

You just put a half block next to a source block and it creates a waterfall. It doesn't really generate any water on the other side, either.

He's talking about a glitch that existed before 1.2, not the decorative waterfalls.

Yes. About 50-70 damage, on the down and upstroke. They reach all the way down to the ground. The spikey ball traps between them do the same damage, only they multi-hit. :v:
