SaffronKit posted:Got back into playing this dumb fun game back when I heard about the new patch and was struggling pretty hard with a slightly ahead of the gear-curve character vs expert Plantera even with all the buffing potions I could get (aside from potions that require fishing, gently caress that), a well made arena with heart lanterns and campfire. So I decided I'd make a normal world and give it a try there. Fishing is easy, and giving up on 10% damage, 10% crit, and 10% damage reduction is dumb.

Yeah I've done over 100 angler quests and while at first it can be tedious (though certainly not difficult), once you get decent bait/gear it takes <1 min for each quest every game-day. Most times I now pull the quest fish on the first 2 or 3 pulls. Now the problem is more biomes spreading and canceling out other biomes I need to fish in  Though I did dungeon-brick in some areas to preserve them.

Fishing blows, I would rather plant an herb and harvest it whenever I want than sit around fishing.

The only exciting thing about fishing is letting 4 or 5 enemies spawn and trying to dodge them while maintaining the fishing line.

Lots of herbs aren't harvestable/won't bloom except at select times though (eg, deathweed blooms in blood moons, waterleaf blooms during rain, daybloom during the day). Fishing just requires certain biomes but you can do them whenever.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:I don't imagine placing one every 25 blocks would be any faster than placing one every three blocks as long as you're getting them with an inventory editor. You also need to place the chests down the sides of your jungle abyss too so the meteors don't just get stuck in the side of the wall don't you, or is it a straight up and down position that's decided?

Senor Candle posted:I bet it has more to do with the fact that the meteor can't land on something that's only one block thick anyways, so it probably doesn't even count it. This isn't true, a week or so ago I had a meteor hit a few stray floating blocks of dirt. The entire meteor was about four blocks in size because of it.

When should I think about trying to take down Fishron on expert? I've only managed to nab one truffle worm so I'm not inclined to use it just to see how strong he is. Currently wearing golem/hardmode dungeon gear.

You can kill him in turtle/beetle with an arena, potions and whatnot. It's not an easy fight though.

The problem with that is that unless you have access to the 1.2 client, regenerating the world with that seed wouldn't give you the same world because world generation has changed.

Was having a ton of issues with Plantera just utterly wrecking me and some friends. It turns out we made the arena so big that about 80% of the open space didn't count as jungle, so plantera was constantly enraging.  Placing a bunch of strips of mud and throwing jungle grass seed on them so that they can (hopefully) make the entire arena count as jungle again since the default background wall doesn't seem to do it (or too much is missing for it to help).

Just put a strip of 80 jungle Grass blocks for your bridge or whatever. That's what determines a jungle biome. It's conveniently minimal; every other biome besides Meteorite requires a fair bit more blocks.

Whoa I went back to kill some more Planteras and hot drat the Vampire Knives just make him a joke after spraying it with some piss. Luckily the crimson chest was in the very first room of my dungeon so I ran to get them immediately after my first Plantera kill. Blackheart fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Jul 23, 2015 |

It feels like NPCs are programmed to wander into any room you're trying to build rather than going anywhere else. All this space and these idiots still manage to get in the way.

Is there an easy way to farm for Ichor in a world generated with corruption? I did use a small world to get some stones so I could build a floating island for fishing reasons, but I don't think fishing up Crimson crates is all that productive. Could I build a house on my little Crimson island, place the Steampunker there, wait for the blood moon, then buy up Red Solution?

Honestly, Crimson Crates are probably more productive than the normal way. They only drop from one relatively rare enemy in the underground crimson.

Pretty sure Nymphs now drop metal detectors every time, at least on expert. We haven't fought a single one who hasn't dropped one yet.

Ichor ain't that hard to get, just go to the lowest parts of the underground crimson where Lava pools start to show up (always wear your Lava charm underground, kids!), a lot of Ichor monsters spawn down there and they kill themselves in lava a lot of the time. I got plenty of Ichor while hunting for some Souls of night.

The game KNOWS. "I think I should start prepping to fight the Goblin army. I've got like 8 torn banners from dead scouts, I've got Meteor stuff, I finally broke 200 health, and I have the parts needed for a GPS so-" A Goblin army is approaching from the East Also my first run in with Medusa was one in the waters of the underground jungle Fortunately I had JUST started putting down platforms so didn't drown. Turns out there was a Marble Biome an entire screen length in the opposite direction, with a large gaping pit between it and any jungle  EDIT: Bless you, Space Gun.

Medusa are probably the worst enemy they've added to the game since I last played hands down. There is no other enemy that can just end you from offscreen despite being so kitted out nothing can even touch you aside from bosses. You just turn into a rock and smash into the ground with no warning aside from maybe hearing them growl once. Why no, I haven't had this happen to me a couple of times after buffing up with all my potions to start a fight with Plantera I don't know what you're talking about.

Look for a big open space, choose a chasm, drop down, kill sticker, fly up about 4 screens wait 15 seconds, grapple a wall, drop down again. Usually net about one ichor drop of 2-5 a minute. How to farm ichor: 1. Find a crimson area with a decent open area (your BoC arena, for example). 2. Place some platforms around the ceiling. A walkway with some space above it to jump is fine too, and then place a water candle on it when you're done. 3. Deepen the room so the floor is off screen far enough to spawn enemies. 4. Clear out any obstacles and flatten the floor. If tunnels lead in to the area you can either wall them off just make sure the path is easily traveled by enemies (better choice). 5. Place Spider Queen turret summon on the floor beloy you (don't need to be able to see floor), and use a nimbus rod above your head, hold second water candle (optional). 6. Go down periodically to collect your pile of drops. 7. If you hear metal getting hit pay attention in case it's a crimson mimic and not a regular one. If it's a crimson mimic, you can run back and forth shooting it as it jumps up at you. If it lands on the platform walkway, just drop down and immediately fly/rocket boot back up on to it. The mimic will fall to the ground and resume jumping up at you while you and your summons (and nimbus clouds when applicable) kill it. I did this for 30 min or so, without water candles, and had hundreds of ichor and several platinum. Ended up with about 150 souls of night as well.

You just turn into a rock and smash into the ground with no warning aside from maybe hearing them growl once. They also cancel your mine cart. Imagine your scenario, but moving at 102 mph so you hear the sound and turn to stone and fly another screen or two before shattering against something.
