It would be really neat if they were more diverse, though. Modifiers with "+% chance not to use ammo" or "+# extra projectiles" would be really neat to mess around with and let you make cool gimmick builds.

Those would be cool and not imbalanced (IMO), given that -% Mana Cost exists.

What's the best AFK setup for keys/money/crafting materials? I've got the Pygmy Staff and the associated gear, I figure that would be good for farming.

Mostly I just enjoy games where one option or another isn't the 'best' when you get to the highest tier of play. The reforge system will probably always be a moneysink, but I would mind less if none of the options were objectively shittier or better than the others. Needs more varied options for sure.

If it's just for keys, then a little meteor hovel with spear traps on a one second timer, a water candle, and a pygmy staff while sitting in honey is how I got all my keys

I wish there was an accessory or method that could boost drop rates. People are going to grind anyway, why not give them an in-game buff? No matter how difficult to obtain it would be better than leaving idling the oft-chosen recourse for people seeking keys and the like.

Personally, I'd settle for one that just increased the drop rate on monster banners.
I want those loving banners.

I have so many banners that dropped instead of stuff that I'm after that they are starting to remind me of photon drops from PSO. "Oh, a thing! gently caress, it's a banner! :argh:"

Of those, only looks like Goblin Scouts have a banner - Tim and Groom don't have one and Pinky just drops a generic Slime Banner (at least all according to the wiki)

Some rare monsters (like the antlion) have higher drop rates to compensate. The Nymph, however, has a 0.5% chance to drop its banner.

A lot, but the jungle ones were easy as i was trying to get an UZI, after that I turned the jungle into a mushroom biome. Also I started a server with increased spawn rates, farming for the rare ones would be crazy.

And no but it's been speculated at least that they dictate or indicate where certain enemies in the dungeon spawn (which would be cool but it's probably not the case).

No again according to the wiki it depends on the kind of dungeon wall, but who knows.

Just fought Plantera for the first time, it was super easy. Thanks to anyone who gave advice! All I did was build an elevator shaft above the bulb beforehand and then led Plantera to my sky bridge. Only took a couple minutes and was pretty low risk.

I've been vaguely inclined to troll the wiki and add a trivia section to the Ash Block claiming it's a reference to either Pokemon or Evil Dead. Looking at all the other ridiculous trivia, it would probably stay there for quite a while.

In other news, I genned a new world for ichor, fast-tracked to hell, and realized I'd need some housing for the Guide to respawn in. Decided to just use the obsidian poo poo I'd been collecting while smoothing out a hellbridge.

Gah, I spawned a new world for Wall of Flesh farming, and forgot you need the guide to be alive to kill it after the first time. If I build a house for the now non-existent guide, will he eventually spawn, or do I need to generate a new world and build the house before I kill the guide the first time?

Well, that was interesting. Just used TerrariViewer to muck with my inventory and buffs a bit(boss summon items and battle potion for 2+ hours), and something glitched somewhere. My ammo turned into about a billion Amber, and my money into random crap. Don't think I'll ever need to hack money in again, though, the Amber sold forlike 3000 plat, all told.

Now just to get copies of the hardmode boss trophies and 4 more dungeon keys. I won't hack them in directly, but I won't feel bad to hack in summoning items, ammo or buffs to make getting them easier.

He'll respawn when there's a house for him yeah. I ran into this issue myself and wasted a guide doll.

He won't spawn during nighttime. Which might be a thing if you hanging out in hell waiting for him to show up so you can start your fight.

Surface mimics, which have less health than the other varieties, will spawn on natural dirt walls. Dig a hole, then dig a few 3 block high coridors into the sides, a screen and a bit long. You can make this an auto farm using lava pits (6 blocks long,1 bucket lava), but you would need to hook up some arrow traps to poke the mimics into action.

Also, don't try this on Hallow or corruption, since Fairys gum up the works, and Corrupters can get you still and will probably gum up the works. Not sure about Crimson, but Floaty Ghosts will probably, as you've probably guessed, gum up the works.

I just survived two eclipses in a row. Holy gently caress that event is a glorious shitstorm. Got a full set of eclipse beastie banners except for Eyezor, if he even has a banner.

In unrelated news, dying the Shroomite set with red and silver dye makes an awesome Canadian superhero outfit.
