His expert mode drop is just a glove that lets you throw bones harder. 12+20 damage, not particularly fast speed and bouncing shots

Diamond and ultrabright torches are both brighter than regular ones but they're kind of expensive and ultrabright are only available from the wandering merchant.

Is there some trick to finding the skeleton merchant? I want to jump on the yoyo bandwagon but he's pulling a no show.

No Safe Word posted:If you do find him, buy every Spelunker Glowstick you can afford. It's basically an on-demand Spelunker Potion by holding the glowstick out, though if you run out of actual glowsticks and you use the smart cursor stuff, you will end up dropping them in water I handed down a suspicious looking tentacle to my new dude. Strong passive light and treasure vision in a slot I don't have to look at.

It should work fine, but for whatever reason the slot disappears if you remove the item directly, expert mode or not. So long as you always drop a new accessory on top of your 6th slot one it will never go away.

Nuebot posted:So the wiki talks about sealing corruption and hallow in a lot as if it's something to worry about, and I've never found it a danger in the past. Did they make them spread faster or something? Or is this something I still shouldn't give a poo poo about like before? It can be a problem in hardmode, where spread is faster and goes through more materials than early game.

Qylvaran posted:According to the wiki, there are now biome-specific fishing crates, and the sky one can have sky chest items in it. With a lucky pyramid and sky lake, you can craft a bundle of balloons without any world-hopping. That's one of the 2 things I mentioned. All biomes with special chests have crates you can get chest items out of, so you're no longer have to remake to get everyone their horseshoes and the like (though you might as well because biome chests are really rare).

Early on you can fish up a Falcon Blade and that's going to be better than any yoyo you'll see before hardmode. Especially if the skeleton merchant is being a jerk and not showing up.

Ambaire posted:I assume that the skeleton merchant is a rare creature and my REK 3000 will show it? Is there any special secret to finding one? Is it just a rare spawn like the bound goblin, lost girl and such? Does it stay around if you leave the area or does it despawn? I dug a trench from one edge of the map to the other at about lava level... twice before I found him. I haven't gone looking for him again.

Llednar Twem posted:I haven't fought it in the new version, but I remember the ichor spell being pretty amazing against that thing. If it hasn't changed since then, it might be worth switching to a magic setup and giving that a try. The hardmode staff that summons a damaging rain cloud is also pretty useful if memory serves. One of the later 1.2 patches nerfed Golden Shower into the ground and also made The Destroyer immune to all debuffs.

We're interested in some of the new features it brings, but if the extra difficulty just feels like dumb bullshit where that isn't worth doing then maybe we'll pass. Do you like everything having double hp, double damage, and new attack patterns that are really annoying to dodge?

TheBlandName posted:I start routinely going through stacks of musket balls once I get my first gun from the corruption or crimson. It's probably something about the bang noise. Once I hit hard mode I start going through stacks of the hard mode ammo, too. And I'm not talking stacks eventually; I mean I'm shooting multiple stacks of ammo on every outing. At that point having an infinite bag of bullets for "just in case" barely registers on the ammo expense report. Well, for the cost of those 4 stacks of lovely ammo you could have gotten 8 stacks of good ammo and if you run out you have a mirror

RPATDO_LAMD posted:You could also just buy a stack of mana potions from the merchant. Unlike health potions, mana potions have no cooldown and you can just chug them forever. Although it's a pain in the rear end to hit J in the middle of a fight, so you might want to move it to something reachable with the left hand. You can also get a 30+ damage, super fast sword from iron crates. It also autoswings.

I tried standing on a square just now and even with heavy armour and three regen boosts (campfire + heart lantern + honey) my health was going down fast. Fire blocks now give you a DoT instead of hitting you for low damage occasionally, so you can't abuse hit iframes anymore.

Cicadalek posted:I was trying to mainly stick to summoner gear this time round, but I have to say it really doesn't seem worth it so far. My main issue is that the minions seem to get stuck on poo poo constantly, and don't catch up to you until you're more than a screen away. This causes me much grief on invasions, where my usual strategy is to hide inside a wooden box while my army of death spheres handle things. But half of them seem to get stuck inside with me at any given time. Minions are more something going on while you do something else, at least until you get stardust dragon and things go crazy. The UFO minion from the martian invasion is pretty good til then, other ranged minions miss too much.

The White Dragon posted:iirc don't the Mech Eye pets have some kind of melee component? I remember thinking that they were really good. I didn't have them when I tried pets out and don't have them yet on my latest guy, but I hear they're pretty decent, at least for crowd control. The piercing attack limit (6 per target per second regardless of source) makes them less good for bosses.

Mexicat posted:why are the endgame ranged weapons so poo poo. I can either use a bow (that is close ranged and goes against my stealth bonus because I have to get relatively close) or a badass rifle (which has a loving amazingly wide spread and therefore is also useless) Chlorophyte bullets.

So spend 2 gold a stack on exploding bullets and play crowd control. The bow's better against single targets anyway. The stealth is mostly a damage bonus and there's plenty of ways around the speed penalty.

Mexicat posted:Anyone else does that better, sadly. It fires more projectiles more often for basically the same damage. It also has these extra shots that come out if you're consistently hitting a single target. It's really good even with -10 damage. You also have more items to buff bow damage than guns (archery potions, magic quivers).

The difference is actually more on the hardmode picks because the way it rounds mining speed. Light shroomite digging claws dig almost as fast as you can fall.
