I stopped playing before the Clentaminator was added; is it possible to change the jungle biome into anything other than mushroom, or am I going to have to bomb out all of mud and replace it with dirt and stone?

Also with the latest patch Chlorophyte protects the jungle from being corrupted or hallowed, I think. The only time I had to dig a trench was to preserve my home base since a patch of crimson was getting too close, and in the end it wasn't really necessary.

There's only 2 things that can only be caught in the sky and one of them is a quest item.

According to the wiki, there are now biome-specific fishing crates, and the sky one can have sky chest items in it. With a lucky pyramid and sky lake, you can craft a bundle of balloons without any world-hopping.

Anyways, fishing is ridiculous. I spent about a half-hour on gathering bait (worm + star) and sonar potions, doing a couple quests, and fishing in the sea a bit, and now I have a better hook than the gem hook I was using, the best pre-hardmode pick, and a tiny minotaur following me around.

Also you can fish, dungeon crates. So you can get dungeon loot, vary useful in multiplayer. I like that addition a lot.

I always get bored when I start to try and dig a 4-tile gap through the entire world to section off the corruption/hallow before going into hard mode, it's just a real pain in the rear end to dig through like 500 tiles of water while stopping for breath

That's one of the 2 things I mentioned. All biomes with special chests have crates you can get chest items out of, so you're no longer have to remake to get everyone their horseshoes and the like (though you might as well because biome chests are really rare).

According to the Wiki they changed Fireblossom blooms. Instead of needing lava they bloom from 3:45 pm to 7:30 pm.

Heh, that would explain it. Did another Hell run and got away with 40 fireblossoms and 60 seeds, using the Staff of Regrowth. I think I'm set for a while.

What are you fishing up to give you those items? I just started fishing and have gotten like 15 wood, 1 iron, and 1 gold chest. Best things from them would be the turtle mount and a random puffer fish balloon.

For everyone who says don't start expert fresh, go fishing. I have yet to go farther down than character height and I already have like 6 platinum bars, 14 tungsten bars and other random stuff. Also got lucky with finding a Strange Plant right where I started on the surface and now have 3 bottles of Acid Blue dye.

Has anyone gotten a tally counter yet? The wiki says that they drop from dungeon enemies, but I've been killing poo poo in dungeons for a while now and have nothing to show for it. It doesn't need to be in a hardmode dungeon does it?

I've got one but it was in a hardmode dungeon. Doesn't mean it has to be hardmode, just how I got mine.

The materials list for the cell phone are dumb though. Somehow managed to make the Ankh Shield look sane to build by comparison.

It combines the functionality of the magic mirror and an item that displays any possible information you could want about your world/enemies.

One of the ingredients is dropped by the nymph.

Happy hunting.

I might just pop over to a hardmode dungeon then, this is getting ridiculous. I've even fully searched an expert mode dungeon killing poo poo the whole way and it hasn't dropped.

Honestly I hated the Ankh Shield more because it took ten items with 1 in 300 drop rates to make, whereas there are only like four items that are drops, two of which were already in the game, one admittedly is being a pain for me, and the last is admittedly insane because nymphs are rare as gently caress, but the wiki says it's a 100% drop in expert mode. The only other problem I'm having is that the traveling merchant is being a pain in the rear end about showing up.

At least you can guarantee one of those quests a day, the traveling merchant will only show up 1 out of five days and you need three loving things from him. I've already gotten the fish finder items from the angler, I still need the stopwatch and the lifeform analyzer because the traveling merchant is an rear end in a top hat.

We finally beat Expert Skeletron with a ton of bees and I can confirm that the Tally Counter drops pre-Hardmode, we found 3 in the dungeon but I don't know if 4 people spamming bees and cutting down hundreds of skeletons had something to do with it. I think the Nazar drop has been increased too, or we were just super lucky, we found 2.

Edit: Forgot that Expert Mode enemies have a higher chance to drop items, so that's probably why.

To the people whining about Skeletron in Expert, you need to properly prepare for the fight, and get more people. Did it with about 7 people or so, fresh characters. Everyone was using bees and it was amazing.

You can't, but you can make a bundle of balloons and a horseshoe balloon for quintuple jumps that don't have fall damage. Or you can wait a few minutes for wings.

So the top two NPC rooms are considered invalid housing for some reason. Anyone have an idea why? They were previously considered valid until the NPCs died in them during a goblin attack.

I had this same problem at first when testing out the camera mode.

I found the screenshots in the Documents/My Games/Terraria section on the desktop. Though that's something they could use: an option on the menu to determine where you want the game to save your screenshots. Unless there is one and I missed it somewhere.

Thanks!

well, it took a good bit of digging out, but once I had a suitable arena Plantera went down in a single attempt. Now on to the Golem. Can't wait to see the damage he puts out in that tiny cramped space (since I don't have a Picksaw)

The Endless Ballsack is great. I can just walk around with my Megashark hanging out of my pants and both see and kill everything.

Also, the Bone Glove that drops from Expert Skeletron is actually pretty cool owns bones, since throwing is now its own damage type which is boosted by certain armor sets like ninja gear and the new Fossil Armor (Dig up some fossil beds in underground deserts and run them through an Extractinator). I don't know how well throwing and its armor sets scales, but even without the armor I was handing dungeon enemies their faces with their own bones.

Could you share a shot of your arena? Plantera is my biggest stumbling block in Hardmode, I've never gotten past it.

Also never beaten the Twins or Skeletron Prime, but I'm feeling good about my chances with this new stuff.

Oh god I've never played this for more than 5 minutes before and now there's so much poo poo I dont even know where to start. I'm guessing the wiki is a good place to begin when trying to figure out what to do in the beginning? I found a chest and ended up with a silver pick, not sure how many tiers I skipped with that but it's pretty awesome.

Ask the Guide for ideas what to do. Generally, build houses and dig into caves.
