King Doom posted:More than one person has spotted weird double drops like that. Seems like if there's more than one thing on a loot table it'll glitch and drop two instead of one. For me it was the grabber vines in the pre hardmode jungle and the ancient cobalt armor. Got the boots and hat from the same vine like four times or so. Yeah, the drops are definitely bugged. I've gotten numerous Fast Clock / Megaphone dual drops from Pixies, a couple dual Ancient Shadow Armor pieces from Eaters, etc etc. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Pixie drop one without the other.

Yea there is definitely something like that happening. Megaphone drops with blindfold more often than not, multiple pieces of cobalt armor drop at the same time, etc.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or just a quirk with the game's RNG. Items with the same drop chance just seem to have a good shot of coming out together.

Haha, wow. I hadn't played Terraria since 1.1 and didn't know anything about the Halloween update. So I finally get around to booting it up after hearing other goons talk about how great it is in the Starbound thread, and I see a bunch of weird glitchy-looking monster sprites. Naturally, I assume there's some kind of compatibility issue with all my mods and the loader I use to play Story of Red Cloud, and I uninstall everything. Oops. In any case, this game is looking great. I'm really enjoying the ice biome, but getting increasingly tempted to just port in one of my old 1.1 characters so I can get a shot at actually seeing the pumpkin moon event before it's over.

Luckily, the pumpkin moon is available year-round - you'll always be able to buy pumpkin seeds to get the materials to make the medallion.

The pumpkin moon event is not seasonal or anything, it's just an invasion you trigger by using an item. It lasts for one night.

The only thing it would be inconvenient to get after the Halloween thing is over would be the pumpkin needed to make the pumpkin moon charm, and if the wiki is right you'll be able to buy pumpkin seeds from the dryad. Even if buying those isn't all year round you could just stockpile a fuckton of pumpkin and/or pumpkin seeds and you'd be able to do the pumpkin moon event all year round if you pace yourself.

 As soon as Pumpkings start spawning I just fly up and kill them in the air while everything below dies a horrible death. Works pretty well, though I've killed over 25 Pumpkings with no drops besides gold and probably 50 Mourning Woods without any drops but the pet. You could design this more optimally obviously, too lazy to change though. e: New idea, giant pumpkin design. I'll use hay bales for the stairs up into the pumpkin and have the controls inside the stem. Read fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Oct 26, 2013 |

I just got that pet too, drat it's good.  I've only made it as far as wave 11 on a pumpkin moon  But at least I got the jack'o lantern launcher, though ammo seems somewhat limited.What's a good buff to drink before the fight? I took the one that lowers enemy defense for melee hits but mourning wood and pumpkings are immune to that. Are they immune to everything else too?

I think you've lost it, but you can craft an item that will spawn the queen for you.

Speaking of which, I have the Bee Pants, but have no intention of grinding any more to get several others. So, I'll trade someone my bee pants and Queen Bee trophy for a Skeletron trophy. My Clothier Voodoo Doll is bugged, and I'm getting tired of making new worlds over and over.

The red thing is a 3-second activation timer. Any mechanical devices hooked up to it by wire automatically activate every 3 seconds. It's presumably wired to all the traps so that they auto-fire.

I'm trying to decide when to switch over to hardmode. Does looting chests now mean there will be less hardmode loot? Also, is there any way to force rain to start falling, or is it just randomized?

The Leper Colon V posted:It's very simple to get, too, the hardest part is getting enough honey to both water and lava to make several, so you can get the trophy/bee outfit. Just make generators for each of them, and combine as needed, it's about the only construction I've actually done other than my NPC ghetto. Really easy I just did a manual one with a bucket initially, then scaled it up to 3 tanks with pumps and channel/pipes to mix as needed, for infinite obsidian and crispy/blocks of honey  Just be carefull with the lava. I built this above my housing, hosed up what block to chip out to make crispy blocks, caused a lava tsunami, killed some dudes, and wrecked the gently caress out of loads of stuff. Pretty funny actually. Yermaw Zahoor fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Oct 26, 2013 |

Now that the Spectre Armor's defense has been cut, Vamp Knives all the way, since you can still equip the Turtle Armor and facetank the gently caress out of things. Spectre Armor still gets the social slot, though, especially in this time of year.

Yeah, I tried my usual "laugh at everything that hits me and skeet all over them with Golden Shower" trick with the Pumpkin Moon, until I realized the nerfs this time around had teeth, and I got ripped to pieces over and over. It's good to get some health back, but now you take damage so much faster in a mob and you get health back at a comparatively reduced rate, so you have to be a lot more evasive if you don't want to die.

Someone explain fluids to me. I built a Pyramid with two lava tanks at the bottom and a pump at the top. Then I connected everything to a three second timer. Problem is that this set up creates lava. Do I have to give up on my glorious base defence system or is there a way to remodel it so it doesn't flood the world?

RatHat posted:Has anyone found King/Queen statues since the 1.2 update? I just realized I've never seen any. I've seen exactly one of each, and my queen statue showed up in a 1.2 world. I should totally wire them up into my fortress of solitude so I can evacuate my NPCs during blood moons/eclipses/pumpkin moons. Or at least pretend to, since they'd probably respawn back in their houses when I teleport back up to them.
