RatHat posted:Does the buff limit include passive buffs like your pets, campfires, lanterns, banners ect.? Or is it just potions buffs that get counted? There's no information on the wiki about whether or not vanity pets count toward the buff limit, so it might be smart to turn those off if you're worried about the limit. Though I've gone nuts with buffs and have never hit the limit. As long as you make sure the potions you drink are helping you in battle you should be fine.

Mzbundifund posted:So, wizard builds. I've never managed to get one rolling once I hit hard mode, because I don't know how to keep in mana. It's -25% damage going down to -0% over the next five seconds. It doesn't ruin your offense. Even if it was -100% for the whole duration it would still be better and faster than sitting on your hands and waiting to regen naturally. Oh yeah, and bind the mana potion hotkey to a less-dumb-than-J key and you won't even need the mana flower. Mzbundifund posted:What on earth do you still need light sources for by the time you can kill the Moon Lord? I think it gives you a permanent Spelunker effect. Seems kind of cool, but even more easily replaced by potion than the gravity globe.

dis astranagant posted:You can only have 22 active buffs and debuffs at a time. This includes all pets, mounts, minecarts, potions and potion sickness. Minecart IS a mount. So given a light pet, a normal pet, and a mount, this leaves you with 19 things. Conveniently, there are 18 buff potions that can do stuff in combat. 19 if you count something for the environment (Flipper/Obsidian Skin) I mean, if you want to carry every buff potion, I guess you could, but that wouldn't leave much inventory space.

SlyFrog posted:It's also annoying that you have to only keep the "right" potions on you. I play with autopause off so this is just a guess but couldn't you just open inventory, toss any pots you don't want to use, then hit autobuff and pick the others back up again? Or can you also not drop items while paused?

It's basically just whichever one you think is cooler, although be aware that the drills constantly make an awesome loud engine sounds when you're mining. Fixed that for you. Also, if I remember right, Picks are slightly faster if you get them speed modifiers, and Drills are slightly faster if you don't. Also, more built stuff time. House (with Wizard Turret, Dryad Treehouse, and Tax Collector's pimp tower)  Rocket (With Rocket Tower and Lava-fueled Rocket Booster)  And random UFO

Also are drills still annoyingly noisy? e: oh it seems that they are. I do like the initial motor noise but I wish it kinda faded after a second or so.

Supremezero posted:Have you actually tried the Mechanical Minecart? 102 MPH is pretty compelling. Minecarts great and all. But compared to the extra accessory, worm scarf, and depending on your build the eye shield, the cart is just no where near as useful as the normal mode expert exclusive boss items.

According to the wiki:quote:Drills may mine slightly slower than pickaxes because they are not affected by melee-speed modifiers. Players who want to maximize mining speed should avoid using drills, because the benefits provided by melee speed enhancements apply only to pickaxes. Dunno if it's even a noticeable difference, but I've been sticking to picks for this reason.

The differences are definitely pretty minor though. I would suggest making a cobalt/palladium drill anyways, so you can see whether you like drills or picks more. You'll end up replacing it pretty quickly with the next hardmode metal, so even if you absolutely hate it it's not a big deal.

The difference is actually more on the hardmode picks because the way it rounds mining speed. Light shroomite digging claws dig almost as fast as you can fall.

RareAcumen posted:By the time you hit hardmode, there really shouldn't be any danger from bloodmoons anymore though. Wrong, there's clowns, and the hardmode enemies that normally spawn at night are also pretty dangerous in large numbers, especially if you are completely new to hardmode and are still wearing pre-hardmode armor.

 "Vibrations from deep underground? I wonder what that means. Neither of us did anything so I guess it must be some event or something." Pictured: Two idiots flailing against an invulnerable mech worm. We pounded on it all night and it ran away with a bit of health left. Certainly a step up from the normal bosses if we did that badly. Does it matter where you hit the destroyer? Does he have any sort of weak point or is it just hit it anywhere and avoid getting lasered?

No weak points, just wail on it. Hardmode bosses, destroyer especially, are just massive HP sponges that occasionally whack you for a non-negligible but not horribly dangerous amount of damage. Assuming you have a decent arena, which it looks like you did, at least for him  e: The fact that arenas of some sort are basically mandatory to fight the hardmode bosses always bugs me, mostly because I hate building them. I really wish that the addition of expert mode had toned them down a little in normal mode, at least their HP. I'm really bad at terraria combat, so all the hardmore battles I've ever fought have either been impossible or really easy because I built an area that let me trivialize the fight. Without arenas I always feel like I'm having fun and being challenged trying to dodge the bosses and avoid whatever projectile they spam at me... until I realize I've done 1/4 of the boss's HP and then I die. tl;dr, I am bad and wish the game were easier

We had a world spanning track so I used it pretty often till we built teleporters. The tentacle is ok I guess, I don't really give a poo poo about a light source at that point especially when the Wisp in a Bottle is more or less as good.

Qylvaran posted:Oh, good. I just beat Golem, and I thought I wasn't going to be able to fight the martians. Damage wise, it seems like there's no reason to use anything but the venom or ichor flasks. Venom does 6 damage a second, which is more than poison/fire/cursed fire. Ichor reduces defense by 20, which might just be way more damage overall than the venom? I'm not sure how defense works for enemies. You could always use venom and occasionally spray enemies with the golden shower spell I guess.
