Yeah, same thing has happened to my jungle and it's the worst. It's irreparable since all the mud within range of crimstone becomes dirt over time from its spreading effects, effectively destroying the jungle. Really need a Clentaminator solution that turns crimson/corruption/hallow stone types back to regular stone and converts dirt to mud.

Killing Plantera essentially turns crimson/hallow spread to 0, right?

The only solution I can think of is to wall off the Jungle with a 4-5 block thick barrier made out of uncorruptable blocks. That would take alot of time, effort, and blocks.

What I would do is preemptively seed the outside of the jungle with hallow blocks before hardmode starts so the crimson can't reach it. This however depends on having access to those blocks before then.

Is there a functional difference between the different types of double jump bottles? What about the things they craft into? I've heard that a Blizzard in a Balloon is better than a Cloud in a Balloon but I haven't found anything to confirm if a White Horseshoe balloon is better than a blue one.

Save all your ___ in a Bottle. Get one of each type, combine each with a Red Balloon, you'll get a Bundle of Balloons, which allows you to quadruple-jump.

For the record, Sandstorm in a bottle is the best by a slight margin.

I couldn't get a bundle of balloons (before wings) to be any better than just a sandstorm. The cloud in a balloon jump is such a giant pile of inertia-loving garbage that you spend like two seconds regaining your velocity and that's pretty much your entire rocket boot jump.

Sandstorm is better than blizzard which is better than cloud. Just combine one (sandstorm) with a horseshoe and call it a day.

Also enjoy scouring a dozen worlds for a single loving pyramid in hopes that you get a sandstorm! woo!

Does it actually give considerably more flight? I figured you get the single balloon flight bonus + two more jumps

With Sandstorm/Blizzard/Cloud Balloon + Wings it'll just add the jump height of the balloon to your flight, you won't get another jump. Ditto with Lightning Boots. I'm not sure if having both a Balloon and Lightning boots with Wings would stack or not. I just use Lightning boots, the amount of flight you get with that is more than enough.

Nah, you don't need more than a 3 block wide wall. You can even leave the middle empty to save on blocks. Just make the wall high enough so that corruption/jungle thorns can't get over it.

Dammit you're right! Maybe I'll make a Snowspeeder in that. I do want to make a Star Destroyer in low orbit first though.

Edit: Is it just me, or is the toolbelt useless? Maybe I'm using it wrong, I have it equipped in an accessory slot and don't notice the ability to place blocks any further - testing with it on and off.

Edit 2: Okay, it doesn't work on walls, just blocks. And it increases range by 1 entire pixel. Wow. Wish I had some kind of gravity gun for building like Starbound is going to implement.

Redigit missed a trick with not letting you make a spectre toolbelt, to go with the pickaxe and hamaxe. Would've been much more worth making than the spectre paintbrush and the like.

Did anyone still need some legitimate items?

I ave some stuff I'm looking for, but I don't wanna just hack them in. I'd rather do some kind of trade (or at least a simulated trade).

Some things I have that might be of interest
-Two full sets of Pink Dye, as well as a set of Pink + Silver, a set of Red + Black.
-Spare Queen Bee and Eye of Cthulhu trophies
-Bee Pants, Mummy Pants, Wizard's Hat, Pharoah's Robe/Mask, Jungle Robe, Raincoat + Hat, Plumber's Shirt, Ninja Shirt
-The following Halloween Costumes: Vampire, Unicorn, Bride of Frankenstein, Treasure Hunter, Pumpkin, Cat (w/ Mask OR Ears), Leprechaun, Reaper
-A stack of Cloud, a stack of Sunplate, a stack of Disc Wall, 100 Rainbow Brick
-Broken Bat Wing, Giant Harpy Feather

I'm mostly looking for status-removing trinkets for my Ankh Charm, but I'm open to other offers.

Also, Frozen Slime doesn't meld with other blocks like Slime does so you can do stuff like this:



1.2 melding is useful for natural tiles like snow and ice, but tends to look pretty ugly with bricks.

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.


This is from Friday, but thanks for this. Mushroom spear and frost armor tided me over until I got golden shower and killed Destroyer, and that enabled me to get full chlorophyte armor.

Glad to help. I still rock Frost Armor whenever I'm using Venom Vials, because Frostburn DoT + Fire DoT + Defense Drop (GS) + Venom = Lots of numbers.

Edit It turns you into a glass cannon and has about 2/3s the defense of Tortoise Shell Armor, but oh man is it satisfying.

Are minion builds suitable for late game shenanigans, Halloween, Frost Legion and the like?

I'm usually well into having loads of little fellas doing my bidding, but I've not really hasd any luck getting relevant items, armor and the like.

If it's actually a viable route, I'd make the effort, but I hardly ever hear people mention such builds, so I'm concerned that it's maybe a bit of a gimmick.

-fake edit-
I just watched a video of a load of pygmies flying around, and boy are they cute and kind of deadly, as they owned pre-hardmode bosses, I just wonder how they'd fare against Golem or a fuckload of Pumpkings.

Hmmm, actually, how do they work?
Do you pop them and then switch out to another weapon (like with my frost turret thing) as they go about their business, or do you have to have the staff selected??
