It might not be a moon boss, but the halloween invasion event is pretty loving tough. There are several waves of monsters, increasing in difficulty and variety each time, and a boss. One of the monsters pretty much qualifies as a miniboss, and will absolutely gently caress your poo poo up if you try to farm the event in one of those lava-lined towers that work for the other events. Then they will spawncamp you and probably slaughter every NPC in your village, because they have a huge hitbox and can go through walls.

The boss at the end didnt seem hugely difficult, but I didn't see if he had a special half health attack or anything because he flew away when the sun came up. So the whole thing is on a timer, too.

Does the halloween mini boss drop any items? I've fought it twice now and got nothing.
The mobs dropped a sweet looking scarecrow hat though.

Sic transit gloria. Maybe we'll meet again someday, when the fighting stops.
I think I've misunderstood the craftable pumpkin thing. It's not a moon boss, is it, but more like an eclipse or a blood moon event.

[edit] I found a painting titled 'Jacking Skeletron', which sounds perfect for my boudoir.

The halloween stuff is neat, but does anybody have a good ichor farming strategy? Just getting the right mob to spawn in the wild is a loving feat in and of itself for me, and I want the Golden Shower without resorting to cheating.

I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.
I just went to hell, found where the crimson intersected it when it spawned, and climbed up. It took me like 5 minutes.

If you have Lava Waders or a Lava Charm, use that. They get themselves stuck in lava and then burn up and you can collect shittons of whatever that way.

A bunch of friends logged onto my server and we triggered the halloween moon several times.

Hordes of monsters that dealt 100+ damage and had 10k+ hp eventually wound up crowding the home base bed. It was a hilarious rain of death and gore, and when we moved outside it was little better, the fps dropped to slideshow levels and people literally could not even hit h to heal before dying.

That said, stacks of loot and platinum were had by those fortunate enough to survive.

A few times, he hasn't dropped anything other than candy apples and spooky wood for me. I have gotten cool stuff off Mourning Woods and Headless Horsemen though.

I got a spooky twig which lets me make spooky wings that look like a cobwed on a black branch. I think it was him that dropped it anyway.

Make a long runway in the biome you're looking for drops in (I think I saw something about that affecting drops now) and run back and forth with battle potion + water candle.

Reason #40 to use TEdit: You manually collected the mats to make the Pumpkin Moon item, used it, then a Solar Eclipse triggered (despite one happening four days prior) and overwriting it. And then, towards the end of the Solar Eclipse, a Blood Moon happened!

I just made 1 platinum and about 50 gold purely off of monster spawns. A day and a half of monster spawns. Plus about 7 wyverns.

Fuuuuck that noise, I'll cheat in the 10 Hallowed Bars I lost from the Eclipse. Good god, what a fight. Just an endless swarm of enemies for like half an hour. If I didn't have the Vampire Knives, I'd probably have lost more than my wizard and pirate NPCs.

Stocking up on free pumpkin seeds. I love everything about this update. I've filled an entire chest of costumes. I'm going to need another! Do we know if pumpkins are going to spawn year-round, or just during the season?

According to patch notes, Pumpkins will naturally spawn like trees during "the Halloween season", but can be planted with seeds year-round (and the Dryad'll sell them year round).

Craft a medallion with 30 pumpkin, 5 Ectoplasm, and 10 Hallowed Bars. No idea if you can use it on a non-hardmode world but probably.

Treat it like a boss summon - pop it exactly at 7:30 PM game time.

Pre-Hardmode: Sapphire/Ruby/Diamond Staff, Aqua Scepter, Jungle Armor, Mana Flower + mobility accessories to taste
Early Hardmode: Golden Shower, Crystal Storm, the best Hardmode ore armor you can make, Mana Flower + Sorcerer's Emblem + mobility accessories to taste
Late Hardmode: Golden Shower, Shadowbeam Staff, Magnet Sphere, Inferno Fork, Spectre Armor, Mana Flower + Sorcerer's Emblem + mobility accessories to taste

My lack of dungeon area that spawns Diabloists is a real pain in the rear end, I need to spawn another world. :argh:

So what's a good plan when just starting out in Hardmode? I have a full set of molten armor, night's edge, molten fury, demon scythe and a bunch of semi-useful accessories like the obsidian shield. I've just been trying to farm crimson and hallow a bit for souls, since the underground jungle and dungeon are kicking my rear end.

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
Smash a bunch of altars with your Pwnhammer, which spreads the hardmode ores around the world; drink some Spelunker potions to find them easier. Work your way through them and improve your armor and especially tools, which will let you get the higher-tier ores.

Get your Mushroom Spear. That poo poo will carry you through the whole of hardmode if you let it.

Then, go into your snow biome, and start hunting the guys with the eyelasers. The spear can hit them through walls, so abuse this. Do this until you have an Ice Feather, and a full set of Frost Armor. Frost Armor is better than the first two tiers of Hardmode ore, and arguably than the third, too, depending on your build. From there, hang out on your flying island until you kill enough Wyverns to get 20 souls of flight. Make Frost Wings, if you have a Mythril Anvil. Get one, if you don't.

You are now set to stomp all over hardmode.

Oh god I hope this synergizes with the Tiki Armour. I want to make a pure-summoning build with a giant swarm of ravens, a small army of pygmies, an icy hydra turret, and a staff that shoots bats, and just run around laughing maniacally as my gigantic horde of pissed off minions murders everything. I'll need a pet and a wisp in a bottle of course, and I'll need to find out if the fairy bell can be used at the same time as the wisp. If so I might as well get a shadow orb too. I need more things. More things.

If only there was a way to have the Chlorophyte Armour set and the Tiki Armour set at the same time. That little murder-crystal is kind of neat.

edit: Oh, I'll need a honey accessory as well, so that I shoot bees from my eyes whenever anything dares to touch me. Possibly the cloak, so that I also summon stars from the sky. If I'm going to make this build I might as well go all-in and make it the biggest, clusterfuckingest, most screen-obscuring shitfest I possibly can.

If you're farming in the snow biome, you should really farm up a Frozen Key and get your Hydra Staff. It's just so, so good, especially for someone just starting out.

Also, to clarify, the 'guys with the eyelasers' are the Ice Golems, who only spawn in the snow biome during a blizzard (when it's raining everywhere else). Each one will drop a random single piece of Frost Armor, so you'll need to kill 3 or (many) more depending on your drop luck.

Wisp it is, then. That thing owns. Little happy burning ghost skull that looks through walls for me and does barrel rolls when I'm flying :buddy:

The baby Skeletron head pet, the Skeletron mask in the cosmetic slot, and the Book of Skulls would be great to round out the build, just for visual effect. Maximum spookiness!

Also to answer your other question, apparently the Raven Staff works just like the Pygmy Staff, and works with the Tiki Armor/Pygmy Necklace/Hercules Beetle. There's also apparently a new set of summoning armor from the event - Spooky Armor, made out of the spooky wood that stuff drops. The set bonus isn't +1 minion, though, but +25% minion damage.

Water Bolt and Book of Skulls are better pre-hardmode spells. The BoS is good enough for hardmode, too, until you can get your hands on a Golden Shower and stomp everything. I'd recommend Mana Cuffs once you've got Spectre Armor (they're OK beforehand, too) so you don't have to waste inventory slots on mana potions.
