I give up. All I want is a sandstorm in a jar but I haven't found a single pyramid in any world's that I've made.

There's a cloud in a jar that you can combine with the balloon like before. But now there's Blizzard and Sandstorm in a jar, both of which combine with a balloon for the same effect. But if you combine all three; Cloud/Blizzard/Sandstorm in a Balloon, you get quadruple jump and a CRAZY high jump. I can't wait to find that ring of 7-seconds of lava immunity and whip up the lava-waders. Lava walking and immunity!

Man, eclipses move naturally into bloodmoons, making for over 20 minutes of fighting. A bigger problem is that eclipse enemies are able to hurt your NPCs while you aren't there, so your only course of action is to fight, which is loving crazy. I had a hardmode world that had enough housing for all the non Santa NPCs pre-patch, all houses filled, and now I only have three living NPCs who are only alive due to quirks in geometry. Reaper dropped a swag scythe though. Now I have to decide between True Excalibur and True Night's Edge. Glad for that blood moon, I got a bandage off a werewolf so I don't have to try to get it off an angler fish. e: Well, True Night's Edge is a lot more powerful than True Excalibur, but it seems to have a pretty slow swing speed and has the need to click for each swing problem. Ranged spinning sword beam thing though, pretty cool. Akett fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Oct 3, 2013 |

I just found one but it had the pharaoh getup. Could any Terarria old guards give me some tips on if it would be easier to farm small worlds or large worlds.

When a map is smaller it doesn't necessarily have less of stuff. It's just crammed together a little bit tighter, so if a map is gonna have a pyramid it's going to be determined by the random chance when creating it and not the size.

Check this out: I found this little room while I drank a Hunter Potion, there was a bat flying around in there. That's 22 gems on the walls and a different back wall.

Speaking of odd walls, around the lava area of the underground but above hell there were some bluish-purple background walls that made me think of obsidian. Nothing interesting in the rooms though, only lava.

So we got bored and extended the helevator that we built straight down from spawn all the way to the top of the map. We're thinking of building a space station up there out of like, iron or something and moving the NPCs. Awesome idea, or awesome (but oh god it'll end hilariously badly) idea?

So, if I've already updated my game to 1.2, is there any way to revert so I can try out that cool-looking Dark Souls mod? This forum post (http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/game-launcher-3-0.98965/page-5#post-2237127) says backing up a mod configuration is possible, but only if it was done, well, before the 1.2 update hit. Do I have any options here?

Dizz posted:Is there any way to reliably find floating islands? I have a shadow key which I think lets me open a chest but I can't find any. If you find a straight, perfectly horizontal tunnel on the surface, it's usually a sign that there's a floating island above, apparently. Also as others have said, floating island chests are no longer locked.

Ugh, so there's a whole series of accessories that drop from various hardmode enemies and all they do is each one has a debuff that it prevents. They would all be useless if not for the fact that they can all be combined together and then with the obsidian shield. The problem is that the chance of them dropping is loving %1 on each enemy that can drop one. This would be problem enough if not for some of the enemies being loving rare in and of themselves. There's one that only drops off cursed skulls, cursed hammers, or enchanted swords. There's one that according to the wiki only drops from corruptors, but I honestly doubt it only drops from them. This is loving taking a while. Akett fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Oct 3, 2013 |

I have no idea how or why this happened, and I've never found any actual hives, but I'm drat lucky I started the world with my 1.12 endgame character; even then it was a clusterfuck.

Has anyone managed to find a fire feather? I feel the need to have some radical flame wings, but I cannot for the life of me find the item I need for them.

Nope. Though there wasn't too much new in the console version. But the music there made it into the PC version.

Talk to him, choose the "crafting" dialog option, then move the material to the empty square that appears below your inventory. Also, for some reason if you exit the inventory, you drop the material, so be careful not to lose anything when you ask the guide.

One thing I'd forgotten about this game is how loving cool the combat is. Invasions, blood moons etc are a freaking riot once you have some decent equipment and a nice variety of weapons. Looks pretty great too with all the lasers lighting up the surroundings and poo poo flying everywhere.

Ah, thanks guys. I clicked on the crafting thing so many times trying to figure out how to do it but never noticed the box. Was just spelunking in a cave and found a vein of topaz, just finished mining it, stepped to the right and a loving boulder falls on me. What the christ I hope there was a pressure plate or something that triggered that poo poo, cuz if boulders could just fall on you out of nowhere in other difficulty modes than the easy one i am in that would kind of suck.

Snipers aren't all that bad! Sure, they do metric fucktons of damage, but they're slow doing it and don't cause any debuffs. loving rapid-fire sorcerors smacking me for 50+ a pop and darkness, on the other hand...  And that's full Hallowed+Warding+Ironskin! I may actually need to actually invest in that Turtle Armor, or at least a good suit of Chlorophyte.Never mind that mining Clorophyte Ore is an exercise in getting harassed until I explode like a meat balloon by goddamn moss hornets. On top of that, my only source of surface Hallow is right in the middle of some corruption so I have a bitch of a time farming Pixie Dust for Greater Healing Potions. I don't think I'm very good at this game.

Oh niiice found a Extractinator a bit above hell level whilst setting up a large water/lava collision for obsidian farming. Proceeded to feed all the silt + slush I had to hand into it and got a load of random gems, ore and some cash from it. Pretty cool.

Just started a new game, enjoying the fact that I can use my hermes boots effectively without steamrolling everything and increased stack limits, when I open up a chest and find a new item: the flare gun. 2 damage, but allows me to basically put sticky torches on walls. Awesome stuff. So, any advice for someone just starting out again? Any new items I should search for immediately? Also, as soon as I find enough pieces, I'm making a beehive house.

I found something of note: The Shotgun and Chlorophyte Shotbow do indead kick lots of rear end, and even now I like to bust out the shotgun thanks to the satifying kaboom and huge knockback of it, but note -- you CANNOT use piercing or exploding bullets/arrows with them and get full damage. This threw me for a loop because with golden bullets the shotgun did great damage but with Meteor shot or Exploding bullets it only did one instance of damage to an enemy instead of say three or four. Big downer because one of the more convenient arrow sources is the Unholy Arrows, which pierces

Flare gun can light enemies on fire too and it works under water. So nice. Stuff to look for when you start out: climbing boots/gloves for wall jumping, gems for gem hooks and a flare gun for awesome lighting (and setting low level enemies on fire, it can be pretty effective in the beginning).
