This game owns. Why did it take me so long to get into this game? World 1 was pathetic and confusing and I was real scared and dumb:  For some reason I didn't like that world so I made another. World 2 was an exercise in confusion:  So I said "I think I've got it now" and made World 3:  I'm kind of starting to get the hang of it I think? While I appreciate the amount of customization in decorating and theming rooms and buildings I just don't think I have the patience or even the desire to get too crazy building stuff. There's just so much to explore and to do I think I'll be real busy for a long time.

FYI you can hammer corners into a 45 degree angle if you care. Also good job figuring out to make a plant farm, I always seem to spend a ton of time tending my plants.

Nothing wrong with some bleak Soviet tenements for your NPCs to huddle in while you wander around murdering things.

Or design one room that you like and copy that one for all your NPCs. Make a building of luxury apartments! I started with a just a very basic stone-and-wood house, and I'm slowly updating it with custom rooms for each NPC. You don't have to have a perfect room from the start!

Now that I actually have to make houses again it's all about the glorious people's 3 tile wide tenement building floating in the air above some platforms that serve as my workshop.

It's really not hard to make houses that are pretty space-efficient and don't look bad. I always feel like I have to make decent houses for my NPCs because it's something I'm going to look at pretty often. The house on the left has space for 8 NPCs, and could easily hold 10 if I added more rooms to the main floor:

Trying to pick this up and see how xbox controls feel, but I'm still pretty burnt out on the game... What is the controller version of shift clicking? I'm having trouble figuring the default xbox control scheme out for some reason.

New patch, new character, new map, new house: ... and I haven't even killed any bosses except EoC, haven't raided my old worlds for stuff, or cheated myself anything. Expert mode EoC was harder than I remember. The waterfall room was randomly generated and I thought it was super pretty, which is why I built here. I just needed to wait for the dryad to show up and sell me grass walls and flower grass walls so that I could replace the natural ones.

My accomplishment isn't as cool looking, but I had a blindfold drop, which I took to my old world and smashed together with some things to get an Ankh Shield, which only took like four reforgings to get Warding!  I also, after having never seen a Nymph before, now have a PDA and two spare metal detectors.

Unless you're going for a throwing character for whatever insane reason, there's hardly any reason to go into underground deserts at all, which is sort of a shame. No unique furniture, nothing that can be done with the sandstone, nothing significant that drops... I hope that's on the list for updating.

Certainly nothing worth guarding with super fast worms that turn on a dime and do 800 damage when they hit you.

The underground desert is one of my favorite areas pre-hardmode, actually. You'll find a ton of ore and stuff to throw in the Extractinator, and the sandstone is really easy to dig through so you can explore a large area very quickly. But once you've explored it once, there's no reason to go back, which is disappointing.

I wonder if the throwing class they've implemented will eventually get fleshed out. There's absolutely nothing for it when hard mode starts. Also, Summoners really need more options for damage and armor. They don't really have as much as the other 3 playstyles.

I had no idea there was anything worth searching for under the desert. I just assumed it was all sand that would cave in on me so there wasn't a point in digging there. Now I'll have to check it out.

I started playing again and my world had no chests on the inside of my crimsons. I started digging but didn't find any. Eventually I made one from iron and wood so I could store stuff Promptly found like four in quick succession.

Was wondering why this thread was up here, I see there is a patch! Since I hate reading the patch notes for spoilers, can someone just answer me this: Is there any new music? I've always loved Terraria's music so if there are any new tracks, I wanna listen.

The only unique items in the underground desert are the fossils that have demonite/crimsonite level hardness; if you throw them in an extractinator they have a chance to become a material used to make a kind of weak armor that's mostly notable for being AFAIK the only equipment in the game that boosts throwing weapons. It's not really worth it by the time you can actually make them. There are a lot of extractinators spawned there, though.

The ninja set from the slime king also boosts throwing, but not as much as the fossil set. In expert you can shred the wall of flesh pretty easily with the fossil set and skeletron's throwing weapon drop.

Well, a martian invasion dropped a cosmic car key for me. And with that, a megashark, some chlorphyte bullets, and a lot of potions, I finally beat the Lunatic Cultist. Then, with the same sort of poo poo, I beat the Vortex Pillar. And then with a Nebula Beater I utterly crushed two of the other pillars. This thing with chlorphyte bullets is loving cheating.  Well, time to go take on the solar pillar and then probably get murdered by the Moon Lord.

Any advice for expert Wall of Flesh? After the trouble that both Skeletron and Queen Bee gave me I have no idea what kind of weapon to use. My normal go-to is a phoenix blaster with meteor shot.

Beenades+sharpening station will absolutely wreck the hungry, leaving only the wall which is no big deal. Make all useful potions+food, consume them all (potions are a p. big deal!), and go to town on the wall with a minishark w/ silver or meteor bullets. If you got some yoyo gear I'd advise getting the Cascade (drops from hell enemies) and using that, it's sickeningly powerful. I never bother with making a bridge, the potions are enough (obisidian skin, waterwalking, featherfall, low grav, with lightning boots+cloud in a balloon you can basically fly forever).

I'll give it a test run with a bridge first, it's a lot less resource intense to do, since I already have thousands of trash blocks stored up. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to talk about accessories, currently I have Frostspark Boots, Lava Waders, Shield of Cthulhu, Lucky Horseshoe, and Band of Regeneration. The horseshoe wont be much use so I will swap it for a Cobalt Shield. Between the Well Fed and Regeneration Potion buff, that ring probably isn't very good either. Maybe the Sweetheart Necklace would be better? It releases bees and boosts your speed when you get hit. Didn't know summoning potions were a thing. I have an imp staff and a hornet staff so I could get some good minions.

Forget about the hornet staff; if you have an imp staff use that; it's the best easymode summon weapon you can find by far, imps deal more than twice as much damage as hornets. Try to reforge it as Ruthless or Mythical. Ruthless can actually be more interesting than Mythical because for a summon weapon you don't care about reducing mana cost (the summon is persistent, so you don't have to care about recasting frequently) or critical hits (minions can't deal them anyway) and knockback is less useful for minions.

If you really want to go ham on it reforge all your accessories to menacing for the extra dps. It's still WoF and you're still not gonna take much damage if you're running away on lightning boots but it'll go south in a hurry if you don't have the dps to finish him before he catches you with his last speed boost.

Mwahahaha I made a Phoenix Blaster and it got the Unreal prefix. I put down a stacks-worth ash bridge down but only needed 2/3 of it to destroy the wall. Upgrades have been fast and substantial in hard mode. Got my titanium pick and melee armor set because I found a Hel-Fire yoyo at the same time I found the undead merchant.
