Is it only possible for one Broken Hero's Sword to drop during each Eclipse? I've gotten two swords over two Eclipses and both dropped fairly early.

If you use the Bee Cloak, the Honeycomb, and the Sweetheart necklace at the same time, do you explode into a giant cloud of bees when you take damage?

So suddenly half my housing isn't valid and I have no idea what changed.



The only Corruption/Hallow near my house is my Deathweed farm and that hasn't changed for a long time. I haven't broken any Demon Altars lately so it can't be that either. And I haven't touched the actual house so it can't be that I knocked off a bunch of walls by mistake.

Anyone have any idea what happened? I really wish the housing interface would tell you WHY a house isn't valid.

Also a cool tip that might not be commonly known - you can paint grass blocks, and anything that grows from them will match the color. You can also paint trees and all sorts of stuff that aren't blocks - try it with chests to color co-ordinate your storage.

Odd, I recall reading on the wiki that if you summon Skeletron instead of activating the Old Mans curse it will only drop gold and potions, not any of its unique items. Now that I'm looking for it again I can't find it so using the voodoo doll probably would've been easier.

I'm pretty sure that's no longer the case. I just was messing around with TShock configuration and for shits and giggles I summoned 30 Skeletrons and used /butcher and got plenty of trophies.

Terrafirma Map Viewer will let you zoom out further than the size of your screen while still showing the actual blocks and not pixel representations. It can get pretty ugly at the last couple of zoom levels that still show the actual blocks, though that will mostly depend on your monitor's resolution. If your base is large enough, it may still take more than one screenshot to show the entire thing, but it should still take less than just taking screenshots of the game itself.

Speaking of map viewers/editors, do any of them allow you to copy chests and their contents from one world to another? I got so caught up in prepping for it that I went and beat the Wall of Flesh last night before remembering that I still had some stuff I wanted to do in pre-hard mode. I'll probably keep messing around on my current map for the moment to get the first tier of hard mode stuff, but I've genned up a pretty new world where I plan on fighting the Queen Bee before starting Hard Mode, and I'm trying to make a much prettier base than the Soviet apartment block I'm using currently. It would save me a lot of time if I could just copy and paste my current storage room over rather than moving all of it one chest's worth of stuff at a time.

Sic transit gloria. Maybe we'll meet again someday, when the fighting stops.
I think TEdit has the functionality to copy chests with their contents intact.

I never said I wanted ugly, simple, or optimal. I just can't decide if I want to build a sky fortress, or a giant sword piercing the crust of the earth. :black101:

Edit Because both are going to take absolutely absurd amounts of different materials. I'm probably gonna use Tin Bricks, either way. It's the right material, it looks good, and it's pretty drat common. Not sure what I'm gonna do for the handle. Tungsten Brick, maybe? That's pretty rare pre-hardmode, though, and even in a Large world, I might have trouble getting together enough for the size I want.

This reminds me: is there a way to turn tin bars into tin bricks? I'd been just smelting them before throwing them in a chest, but now I want to build with it...

(Alternatively, a smooth metal material would work too...)

Not only in water, but only from underwater overhangs. The beach is right out, you gotta straight-up find a reasonably vast underground lake.

Nope, you can place the bars themselves and get kind of a "vault" thing going on--they act as platforms and I think they count as floors the same way crafted platforms do, but they have to be on solid ground--but you can't build with them in the classical sense and you certainly can't break them down back into ores.

That doesn't include trees, right? I tried planting trees on painted grass and they looked normal when grown so I just assumed that's not how it works.
Also I do know that glowing mushrooms can grow rainbow colors.

Kelp grows along the bottom of lakes just fine, material be damned. But it has to be deep enough. It's got to be in the second underground layer, where the background turns mostly rocky.

You can't turn bars into brick unfortunately, you can only make bricks out of ore. Which kind of sucks, not really sure why this is. You can turn most walls back into their ingredient bricks now after all.

I got the Queen Bee trophy on my first kill. I thought it was just a drop that came with the bosses now.

Then I ended up fighting wall of flesh 8 times before I got his, and I've fought eater/eye/brain dozens of times, without drops so far. Gotta keep at it!

Man, what the hell. So I finally got enough Titanium to make a Pick... and I can't mine that green ore that's all over the underground jungle? Well dammit, what use is it, then? There are no harder ores than it aside from that stuff, right? Orichalcum certainly couldn't mine it, I figured an upgrade was all I needed. Kinda feeling like I just wasted my Titanium Bars on something that was completely useless.

Also, in Orichalcum armor now. Thinking it's time to build a boss arena and finally stop being a big pussy about hard mode bosses. Destroyer first, yeah? Man, that'll be a satisfying kill.

Spectre-class pickaxe can mine Chlorophyte. Which you need to kill Plantera to spawn the enemies to get the ectoplasm, so it's a sort of step-up progression at that point.

Yermaw Zahoor
Feb 24, 2009
Well at least you now have a fast pick, but it won't mine Chlorophyte, no.
You'll have to kill a boss (Twins, Destroyer, Prime) for some Hallowed bars to make a Chlorophyte grade pick/drill.

You can probably use your current armor, but you might want to use your new Titanium pick to mine enough Titanuim for a suit of that.

Just checked and a 200% pick power tool will do it, so a Drax or Pickaxe Pick using hallowed from, say, Destroyer will probably be your easiest option.

Or what the guy above says, but triggering and killing Plantera will be a fair bit harder imho

I completely forgot about Hallowed, and I don't know why. It could be because I stopped playing for a while, dove into 1.2, and the spawn limit in the dungeon hadn't been set yet, so I was able to get spectre stuff before I killed a hardmode boss.

Yeah, follow this guy's advice. With the right set-up (Piercing, piercing, piercing), Destroyer becomes almost too easy, and drops a fair amount of hallowed ore to make your pick.

Who do I have to sacrifice to get Truffle to spawn? I've built him a nice little house made entirely of mushroom (apart from the light source, haven't found a mushroom-based light yet) in a mushroom biome (and I know it's a biome because the music changes) and the housing tool says it's a valid house, but he won't appear. I even tried starting hardmode on that world but no dice.
