So I'm playing with my friends on a Journey Mode world with the difficulty set to Expert and I feel like I'm not getting nearly as much money off of drops as I should be. It's feeling like turning it up to Expert is increasing enemy strength properly but it isn't increasing coin drops at all compared to Classic, has anybody else noticed anything about this or is it just something weird going on?

Dreamsicle posted:Also if I don't feel ready for a Mech boss when they spawn, can I save and exit to avoid the fight like I could with the Eye? I guess but why though? It doesn't matter if a boss kills you unless you're doing some sort of ironman run. On a different subject, goddamnit of course the one time I actually want one of those stupid special furniture crafting stations it doesn't show up anywhere.

Deformed Church posted:The biggest challenge with that gear will be beating Wall of Flesh - Night's Edge might work but as people has said swords just aren't great. You can get ranged melee-category weapons, but you basically are not going to deal with the Wall and future bosses without being able to put distance between you and the boss while still fighting. Cardiovorax posted:No, you can't. You can't move him out of a surface shroom biome at all, the game just gives you an error message. You can transfer him between different ones, if you have them, but that's as far as it goes. Khanstant posted:Also, playing on classic atm, wanted to try the original intended experience first. Research sounds cool though, honestly sounds like something you'd maybe need in the normal game anyway? All crafting in the game requires you to just have the ingredients and appropriate crafting stations nearby.

Zereth posted:However, since the Mushroom biome has its own pylon, you can put your artifical mushroom house near somewhere you want access to that's in the same biome as an existing pylon. I put mine near the Dungeon entrance since it was in Forest, but the Forest pylon is busy sitting at my home base.

I have a hard time imagining using anything other than magic weapons simply because of the variety. It feels like you always have a lot of different weapons you could be using that do radically different thing and other weapon types don't really have that going for them, at least that I've seen.

Magic's variety makes it an excellent supplement to the other styles, and the limited mana pool makes it a good idea to have a melee/ranged backup. Magic does a lot of things but your fundamental damage dealing is still basically just shooting projectiles. Similarly with summoning; you've got no reason not to have at least one minion floating around, and even if you're all-in on summon you might as well have a weapon since you're not doing anything else with your hands. It's always best to have a little of everything, while you orient your build to whichever you find most effective.

Yoyo's with the yoyo bag really tear everything apart at all stages of the game. They deal tons of damage and are also fine against crows thanks to the yoyo bag, and you can also cheese poo poo with it by standing behind a wall and yo-ing through a gap. You can also get some of the best yoyo's right out of the gate in hard mode (in the jungle or frost). me playing terraria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Fp4uIl5Lmk

I've actually never done a yoyo run, they just always seemed too conceptually weird to me. Any recommendations on getting started? I just pushed a world into hardmode.

The problem with yoyos is that you have to track down the skeleton merchant to get started and then do it again in hardmode to finish your yoyo bag. Once you do you get 4 of them bouncing around hitting things for pretty good damage.

A yo-yo playthrough was by far my favorite, and easiest, even on expert. I'm so tempted to do it again for 1.4, but there's so much new stuff. I've never done a magic playthru, so I'll probably do that.

IMO Magic is probably my favorite playthrough just because you start off as the shittiest of all classes and by the end are surpassing everything else with ease. If melee is a linear power increase over the game and ranged is a pretty solid step function, mage is just a logarithmic increase. Cardiovorax posted:Does Glowing Mushroom biome supersede corruption biomes if it is placed within them? Because that could be kind of convenient for certain situations. Just place it high enough in the air that the corruption can't spread there and you have a permanent foothold. Mushroom does not override corruption even though it does not show it graphically. A small mushroom biome surrounded by corruption is uninhabitable.

Regarding corrupting the jungle a few pages ago, it is definitely a real threat. There was evidence of it spreading (slowly) and I had to clentaminate the entire infected jungle into hallow just to be sure there wouldn't be a resurgence. There's still a little pocket of nasty surface corruption that I missed too from the looks of it (I don't mind the little underground bit at the bottom)

assuming I don't need hard mode ore is there any real benefit to fishing outside of angler quests, or for crates in particular? also how do you fish in lava? i had a magma snail but nothing was biting.

Section Z posted:While it's probably going to be a kind of a pain to replace that much water without some form of water creation? (so many buckets) All you need is one bucket, water duplication is pretty easy. Make a U shaped platform out of 5 blocks and hammer down one of the side blocks so that it is half size. When you place water above the half block it will flow to the side into the U shape and down the other side (what you want to fill up). You can instantly pick up the water after placing it down and just repeat until the desired amount of water has been produced. You can also use hammered half blocks in the path of where the water flows to have it duplicate on the way down as well. This also works for honey and lava, but it slower; especially for honey, because you need to wait for it to flow a little before picking back up.

There's still a little pocket of nasty surface corruption that I missed too from the looks of it (I don't mind the little underground bit at the bottom) Rehashing a major derail several pages ago, but no, it's not. Corruption only overtakes the surface jungle at worst; it cannot spread effectively in the underground jungle. No one has ever had their underground jungle get replaced by corruption no matter how long they let it spread unchecked. There is no screenshot of this happening, among the huge playerbase. The mechanics of spreading are nerfed. You don't have to worry about your jungle, and the other biomes aren't hurt by it anyway.

Playing on Journey mode, wanted to get the cell phone before Hardmode, using time control and duped quest fish. the Sextant I only got about a dozen to two dozen tries after getting the Golden Rod. orz. Also, the Travelling Merchant has some fun new items: New Pre- and Post-Hardmode Magic guns (requiring a kill on any boss and a mech boss, respectively). These oval office as space guns for the meteor armor set bonus, and their shots do odd things when hitting an enemy, such as changing velocity at random, teleporting randomly, changing direction, multiplying, mega damage or knockback, or going through enemies and blocks. It shreds worms hard. Also, found out if you freeze time and then change time to dawn while it is frozen you will get a Travelling Merchant each time. Just switch to dusk to dawn repeatedly to get the guy to show up constantly and get his entire inventory.

Man, I gotta be honest. Master Mode actually made me retroactively really appreciate Revengeance mode from Calamity. Yeah, it was a hard mode, but it actually did it in an interesting way rather than just increasing a bunch of numbers and calling it a day.

There's zero risk of "oh no I lost this biome on my map and I'll never get it back" like people think can happen with the jungle. Towns becoming uninhabitable is a separate issue from losing a biome, and mostly happens right after Wall of Flesh if you've placed your town off of the map center.

I'm trying to find a chisel in a corrupted desert and it feels impossible. I can barely even make it a few leagues underground before being totally overwhelmed by endless enemy swarms. Its ridiculous, even for hardmode.

I'm making a new arena and trying to think of the new buffs for it, Campfire Heart Lantern Star Lantern Sunflower Bast Statue Garden Gnome (+luck?) Is that about it for placeable buff items or am I missing anything important? I know you can power heart/star statues but too lazy for that, and also can't be bothered with honey buff (I've done bubbles and honey for Expert Moon Lord before but this is more of a fixed arena)
