No Safe Word posted:Mediumcore on expert is totally doable if you pace yourself correctly and plan accordingly. Once you get enough material for a grappling hook and a backup one, you're basically good. Especially if you have a mirror or enough stuff to make recall potions. When you die just run to get your stuff, then wall yourself in and re-equip or recall home. If you had a full inventory, rinse and repeat till you get it all. Singleplayer mediumcore on expert sounds awful, it was hard enough in a multiplayer game with a friend. I can't imagine being down underground, loving about with storage in your tiny room filled with chests, because why the gently caress give us this many items and not bigger chests gently caress YOU, and bam, Solar Eclipse. Well I sure as poo poo hope you didn't kill all the mechanical bosses or else enjoy getting killed constantly by a big dumb moth that flies through walls. At least it's a small consolation that it only lasts the night. Now that I think about it, there is so much bullshit stuff that can happen that would be awful without a second person to help you out. Post-plantera and just stepped on a TNT pressure plate in the bottom of some abyss in the middle of nowhere? Have fun with that, and of course a solar eclipse/blood moon/martian invasion/full moon happens. Get hosed idiot bitch nerd. Of course you can always throw on your backup gear in one of your 2000 chests you have, properly labelled and sorted of course.

I'm not having much luck with these fishing quests. I'm using the 40% rod, the 50% bait, and even potions. On most quests, I catch a lot of crates and rare fish but not the quest fish. If I ever catch a quest fish, it's in the first ten casts. Does the Hallow spread affect the quests? I'm even confirming that I'm in the right place via GPS.

drat, I've backed up and restarted 3 times to kill the WoF, and each time the hallow has generated on the right side instead of the left. is this predetermined? e: oops, looks like it was the corruption all along. still, I never thought it would be consistent each time, interesting. that ivy guy fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jul 17, 2015 |

Seriously, if you're playing on medium in an Expert world, you're some kind of insane self-loathing lunatic. Hardmode underground jungle was batshit insane frustrating enough on softcore, and all I lose is money. You are under constant, never ending assault from machinegun stinger hornets that can peel your chlorophyte armor off in ~6 hits, continually in danger of having giant turtles crush your stupid rear end head flat out of nowhere, and GOD HELP YOU if the junger ever intersects with a marble biome. A medusa will wonder in at just the perfect moment and freeze you just in time for three turtles to land on you. Then there's Plantera. Miss a step in that fight and you're done. Or you could wind up like me: My chlorophyte armor auto attack somehow managed to spawn TWO queen bees while I was in plantera's angry hook spamming phase. I was able to laugh at this absurd situation because I respawned nearby with all my gear and knew where to find three more bulbs. If I had to go through hornet bullet hell to get my stuff back without all my +4 armor accessories, there'd be a fist sized hole in my monitor. And a lot of blood all over the place.

The Depth biomes being last in priority is some bullshit. Why can't they just let the fishing spot count for all the biomes it's in anyway? Like if Hallow has taken over Snow at the Cavern layer you could get Hallow, Snow and Cavern drops from it.

Alright what kind of asinine spawning requirement is this;quote:The Rainbow Slime requires unique spawning conditions. It will only spawn outside The Hallow biome while it is raining or during a blizzard, but only when the player is physically within a hallowed biome. In other words, it does not spawn directly on hallowed blocks, but instead spawns on non-hallowed blocks such as normal grass or snow. Why would you do this? VVV Yeah but I don't have hallowed snow in my world so I would have never seen one if I didn't look up its ridiculous requirements.

Verviticus posted:i think in 1.1? they made almost every item blue and not destroyed by lava. i guess if you die in lava you lose ores and poo poo, that kind of sucks iirc Blues still get eaten by lava (bye Red Husk  ) and armor doesn't start to get colored until Crimson/Corruption tier. There's just too much prep and frustration that goes into mediumcore. Our tipping point was a Slime Rain event. We couldn't get back to our stuff without dying, we couldn't get to our backup stuff without dying, and the whole time King Slime was warping directly on to us when we respawned. That was fun.Internet Kraken posted:Why would you do this? It sounds kinda dumb but that just means the best place to run into one is hallowed snow.

No it can't spawn inside the Hallow biome at all. Thankfully surface Hallow biomes are usually pretty small since they're only created when Wall of Flesh is killed.

So really, the best idea in single player that won't make you bonkers is to make a normal world that you do all your exploring in. At the same time make an expert world you use to just summon the bosses and get their exclusive stuff if you care about it. That 6th slot doesn't REALLY matter, does it?

Alternatively can't you just put a piece of furniture to block the door from opening towards the inside, but still letting it open to the outside? I fight all my battles down in a mushroom valley where Truffle lives but he never gets targeted because the invaders can't enter his house. VVV Unless he didn't use fishing at all its not impressive.

They should add a 0.01% chance to spawn Duke Fishron on any catch. And of course he'll instantly enrage if you're not in an ocean biome.

The wiki says the car key has the same drop rate as all the other stuff from the saucer but I don't believe it. If you could get banners from bosses I'm pretty sure I would have at one by now. I'll do one more invasion then I'm gonna say gently caress it and just inventory edit it in.Holyshoot posted:There was a dude who beat the moon lord on expert hard mode hardcore. Let that sink in.

What was the thing you edit to make your cursor giant and more easily visible?Tyty posted:They opened my doors. I don't really have my base proofed against that yet, mostly because zombies couldn't get to my doors until recently to bust them open on bloodmoons. Even in skybases you always put your doors two spaces above the ground since enemies can't open them then (or use actuators + switches on a wall). People who think Mediumcore on Expert is ok are insane or simply haven't gotten very far yet. There's nothing interesting about dying and now having a race against time (and luck) to recover your gear, maybe, and being hosed out of said gear otherwise. Oh you just dropped your Ankh Shield when you died in lava? Ok go back and grab it... no sorry it's gone forever  scrub.Agent Kool-Aid posted:no, seriously, the combat in terraria is godawful. 75% of it boils down to gaming the system because if you're fighting anything more complicated than a generic enemy, such as a boss, you're going to be steamrolled without twinking yourself out and/or cheesing poo poo. why else do people get pissed when dumb exploit stuff is removed. adding in dropping poo poo on death is loving dumb. Don't forget the arbitrary sequence breaking stuff that they remove (and add). People managing to rush right in to the dungeon and grab a chest, maybe two, before the guardian kills them? Now it's faster and even if you somehow avoid it long enough the chests are locked as well so goodluck getting a key and unlocking the chest to loot all in time. ....oh you went down to hell right away and managed to dodge a bunch of enemies that will wreck you in 1-2 shots long enough to loot some chests? Nope. We locked those and you need an item that might spawn in a dungeon chest if you want to loot those now. By the way have you tried fishing? Because we've added easy to acquire fish that work as hellstone-grade tools, an autoswing melee weapon that's one of the best pre-hardmode, and a few other things. Go grab a reaver shark and then you're free to might through crimson/corruption or just head to hell and get hellstone to make molten gear and skip all the other normal mode progression. We're consistent!  Tenbux McGee posted:Seriously, if you're playing on medium in an Expert world, you're some kind of insane self-loathing lunatic. Hardmode underground jungle was batshit insane frustrating enough on softcore, and all I lose is money. The money trough is probably one of my favorite items. My brother found one almost immediately when we started playing 1.3 and I got one not too long in to hardmode. Total godsend of an item. Drop off your money periodically and also have extra space during those long exploration trips. Bluemillion posted:Light Shroomite Digging Claws and a mining potion pretty much let you move through stone at normal speed. Then a medusa turned me to stone and a hallowed mimic jumped onto my head. I was going full speed in the mechanical minecart and a medusa turned me to stone, cratering me for 300 damage when I fell about a dozen tiles on to some honey blocks.

I killed expert Fishron last night and got his mount, is it worth trying to get a UFO still or is this better? I didn't mean to do him on expert but forgot what world I was on when I started building my arena. I guess it's finally time to kill the Moon Lord and put the game down for another year.

Cute Fishron gives a speed (~31mph to ~60mph) and damage buff (17% I think) for 5s when you immerse your torso/head in liquid or just the speed buff portion if your HP is <50%; the UFO is faster than Cute Fishron normally is, doesn't give any buffs and breaks in the water. dis astranagant posted:Apparently his mount is super fast in liquids.

Go deeper. It seems like the second two ore tiers are more common the farther down you go. Fastest way is to probably head down to hell and grapple/fly across the ceiling looking for ores there.

also make sure to check your map, because it highlights clumps of ore and will say what they are if you mouse over them. orichalcum is like purple-pinkish or some poo poo. you'd be amazed at how much you passed by when exploring.

Spelunker's Potion + Metal Detector is a boon for hunting Adamantite/Titanium, you can run around scouting out veins with the detector and then find them with their glow from the potion. I usually just make the first tier of armour to help kill the mobs while I mine, then skip the 2nd tier and go right to the 3rd.
