Personally, I don't end up making use of the extra hooks of multi-chain hooks since by the time I get them, I usually have rocket boots, which means any advantage in mobility they have over single-chain hooks is already covered by the rocket boots.

Internet Kraken posted:You get to spiderman around all over the place and also not fall too your death because you mined out the tile your hook is connected too, as you have others. The web slinger is not represenative of other multihooks at all; its a weird gimmick where you have an absurd number of hooks but the range on them is pitiful so its pointless. Apparently I have the Slime Hook already so let's see what the fuss is about Being Spiderman is an acceptable answer.

Speaking of arenas, I figured I should make one of my own. I had plenty of granite just from all the granite biome enemies dropping it, but I had to make a different world to dig up enough marble:  Once I get access to living fire blocks, I'll put really big flames on the top of the pillars, and the lava pit in the middle still needs to be filled in. Any other advice for building arenas? Eventually, I intend to put in a few heart lanterns/star bottles for regen.

kvx687 posted:They do grow taller if you leave them alone, I think the maximum height they can get is about six or seven tiles high. It also feels like the variant cacti (crimson/corrupt/etc.) grow slightly faster, though I can't tell for sure. I wonder, can then cut it off at 1 tile high and let it regrow?

Man, I got 172 Meteor ore leftover after making the Space Gun, full meteor armor, Meteror Hamaxe, and a blue Phase Saber. Sabre is a bit of a letdown, as my my Hamaxe has +1 damage over it due to multi mods so it's auto swing nature makes up for the speed difference. At least I know you can turn the sabre into a stronger hard mode version though. I get the impression either I lucked out on my Meteor mass (aside from having to carefully avoid flooding myself with the ocean while digging out half of it), or have they gradually ramped up how much Meteor rock results in general per impact?

Suddenly after this patch light bugs are spawning in mass quantities around my house. I had like 15 in my inventory and just by going back and forth from the sides of my house I ended up with 120 of them in like one minute.

A heads up if anyone notices their quick stack button disappearing: It's caused by using the money trough and you can fix it by talking to an NPC or restarting the game. They're fixing it thankfully.

So, what's people's preferences for Crimson vs Corruption? I favor the Corruption, mainly because it's hardmode enemies aren't nearly as annoying. Edit: By that I mean they don't float through walls shooting at you. RareAcumen fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Jul 14, 2015 |

King Doom posted:Cosmic Key from the Martian Event and whatever heatseeker you like. Just fly in circles and murder him. If you can kill Moon Lord, you can get the nebula suit and the nebula arcanum, they will END fishron. Akett posted:Make some armor from the luminite bars (whichever one of the sets you wish, though I would go with the solar for the huge armor) and give yourself all the drat potion buffs you can. One of the best possible ones to get is endurance potion which is a flat 10% damage reduction, from armored cave fish and I think blinkroot. Thanks for the advice. I'd tried flying with my UFO mount but the acceleration wasn't good enough for me. I ended up crafting Solar Wings and using food + iron skin potion. With the maneuverability plus extra resilience I was able to whittle Fishron down with my Vortex Beater. Now I've killed all of the bosses.

Don't guns shoot more projectiles at lower damage too? Which makes them worse and worse as enemy defense goes up.

I like corruption more because crimson is just the bad gore horror show you see in tons of other games. At least the corruption is pretty and purple, and has way better underground music. Though maybe its just because its been so long since I was actually in corruption that I think this, but the crimson seems easier. Every enemy in the corruption could either fly or had the obnoxious worm AI which makes them harder to fight. Most of the stuff in the crimson just walks at you and can be easily smacked in the face. Even in hard mode the only enemy that seems somewhat threatening are floaty gross and that's only because they cheat and phase through blocks, but then all they do is try to rub against you so its not very scary.
