In a world with Copper, Lead, Tungsten, and Platinum, it seems like Iron, Silver, and Gold got replaced. Does this mean I can't build specific things like a Sawmill since it requires Iron?

Also what would be the first boss[es] I take on? I'm almost finished making a Tungsten armor set, I have a powerful Undertaker and that crimson heart spear, an ice blade, an enchanted ice boomerang, and a ton of Spiked balls.

Also my Platinum pickaxe still can't mine lots of the good poo poo like crimson blocks, Should I search out those meteorites and try mining/bombing them? this game changed so much since I last played it [Release]

The only Pyramid I saw in my world just had steps downwards into some large room with a gold chest which I think gave me a bottle of sandstorm, it went deeper but was just a dead end. I felt cheated.

Welp. Got an Arms dealer, Bought 1000 bullets, Gunned down Skeletor, Cthulu's eye, and 3 Brains. I think I am ready for Hard Mode.


Is there any way to reliably find floating islands? I have a shadow key which I think lets me open a chest but I can't find any.

Yeah I had a gravity potion once but I forgot that hitting Escape didn't pause the game when I had to leave the computer suddenly and I died from fall damage. At least I have a giant M on my map now.

Real men play on the large maps. I just wish I could get Hermes boots already so I didn't have to use sandstorm bottle/hook shenanigans to speed myself up when traveling.

Also I'm not sure how good endgame pickaxes are but bombs are my go to way of going downwards.

Very first chest in the Temple

Edit: Now shown: A flying turtle pet from a Jungle shrine.

Have to leave it unequipped because it looks like it's constantly attacking, though.

This update makes everything feel so new and awesome.

I want that turtle pet to follow me with my penguin pet.

Can i actually flood hell to leave a layer of obsidian on most of the lava? I'd like a place where i can relax without having to panick about if that small puddle of lava is going to knock 70 life off me while I'm doing acrobatics all over the place trying to avoid demons and getting enough hellstone.

Also I have an underground jungle biome that's loving giant as poo poo. I think it beats my dungeon's size and my current cave tunnel to hell.

Newcomers to the village are only told myths, nay, legends, of what lies beneath.

You can also put Honey and Honeycombs in there, that kinda looks like nasty poo.

E: It also has the added effect of slowing the guide down a lot.

So I just got into hardmode after my 5th try [decided to stop being lazy and make flat areas to run on while shooting at that dumb wall.] What should be my first order of business now?

So I just killed Plantera and got a Pygmy staff. Is the Tiki set very good or should I just stick with the Spectre stuff and Magnet Sphere / Magical Harp everything?

Is it possible to AFK farm the hardmode dungeon? or will there be something that will demolish me before pygmies can kill it / spiked traps kill it?

If I'm going to farm for biome keys, Do I have to go way deep for a chance of it dropping? or can I just sit at the top and kill stuff there?

I wish some of the NPCs could defend themselves. Seems like some of them should be able to (Arms dealer, Wizard, Demolitionist and the like).

You'd think they could, seeing as one sells guns and another one has an infinite supply of explosives.

All I needed for the twins was a megashark, gravity potions, and at least 2000 crystal bullets for each. Regardless, it's a bit unnecessary in my opinion.

I still think the spectre gear is really strong. What should have happened to the set was not nerf what it does, but how to make it. Because Ectoplasm farming is relatively easy.

Changelog:
Dungeon Spirit spawn chance has been lowered.

It's still a thing of "Kill a lot of things in the hardmode dungeon to get this good loot" instead of something like "Combine 5 of each gem with 1 ectoplasm".

What's the easiest way to find Floating Islands? Gravitation potions? How many would I need to explore all of a small world?

If you have a grappling hook, just make a giant nerd pole of sand and just build a skyrail unless you're making new maps for the sake of treasure and sky/cloud blocks then I'd say at least 2 gravity potions per small map.

Didn't the patch notes say that there's a 1/3 chance of a hardmode boss you haven't killed yet spawning?

Because I had a blood moon night where I chose to spawn Skeletron Prime and midfight another one spawned.

I think it needs more lighting. If that doesn't work, try fixing that corner near the door.

The reason its a silly gimmick though is because I have no movement speed, take damage from falls, have knockback from enemies, and my def went from 93 to 69. Its fun if you have a set up for it and you can basically stay in one space without worrying about falling though. I have yet to try it on a boss, think I'll try the destroyer and see how fast I can wreck it.
e: <30 seconds :stare:

Can't you grapple to something to prevent knockbacks?

How are you supposed to survive through the Pumpkin Moon event? Even with 2 clouds raining down and firing a Magnetic Sphere upwards at Pumpking, I still sometimes die. Is it because I have all my accessories set to damage? Am I supposed to make a special arena solely for this event?

Oh yeah also I'm still using the Spectre set since magic is still broken since they nerfed the Vampire knives.
