Oooooooh, when you summon the twins be sure to do before, during and after posts to keep us updated!

You should have gathered some seeds while exploring various places. Buy some planters from the dryad (they're like platforms but with grass growing on them), create a greenhouse building, lay some planters and plant your seeds.

Here's my ghetto setup:



Note the two rows of chests: one for seed, one for plant. The item frames above are a helpful reminder in case the themed chests aren't explicit enough. Above the safe and piggy, the item frame contains a staff of regrowth which is useful for harvesting.

Next, you'll want a few fishing cabins in the various biomes that have useful fish species for alchemy. My recommendation is to make a teleporter network to get there quickly. Here's my sky fishing cabin, which the party girl decided to squat:



The seaside beach resort and fishing lodge (for some reason the pirate captain spends all his time neck deep in the saltwater, he's a big weirdo this way):



The shroom cabin:



And the corruption cabin, next to my fleshhouse of horrors. The world is naturally a Crimson world, this corruption was created artificially by purifying a stretch of crimson, then planting some corrupt seeds imported from another world. On the other side of the crimson crevice I dumped tons of mud to create my aboveground shroom biome, and then I created both lakes.



The chasm was created with tons of surplus explosives with the idea of making a barrier to prevent corruption/crimson from extending further as well as having a convenient way to go way, way down pretty quickly. (It eventually ends in an underground hallow area.)

Anyway the point is that each cabin has a convenient teleporter pad so that I can move quickly from the base to a biome home. (I haven't finished my network, personally, the various underground fishing lodges are still accessible by railway instead of teleporters.) Most alchemy materials are from plants or fish, so having done these things will make sure you can get most materials quickly. Putting a safe and a piggy bank in each cabin/biome relay is also always helpful.

It's been several pages of newbie help, so forgive me if I mention something that has been mentioned:

I was having trouble with the hardmode bosses for forever until I found the low level strategies on youtube from Demize and yrimir, which showed you could beat these bosses yourself with some proper strategies and not glitch exploitation or grinding 1000 hours for the best gear. (The holiday armies are still unbeatable, however)

The destroyer is the one to go for first, he's easy once you have a strat that deals with his probes and all that. It's shown in the vids.

Just cutting the crap and showing you who has useful info instead of the guy from the thread title who is "charmingly inept" or the whiny baby who cried on air or poo poo like that, it's really hard to find people who actually do things well on youtube sometimes.

It's worth noting that the Twins are probably the hardest mechanical boss. In my expert game I was only able to beat them with a world-spanning railway.

Sometime before you defeat the hardmode jungle boss (Not the bee) you should kill a bunch of cursed skulls in the Dungeon to get a Nazar. The Nazar renders you immune to curses, and is used to craft a VERY powerful endgame item. It's a lot easier to get one in the first version of the dungeon.

You can plant Daybloom seeds in the planters or regular ground to get them faster. The purple flowers aren't daybloom, they're just weeds.

New 1.3 house



Old Hardmode house.



Oh, the 1.3 one is actually outdated.

With something that pierces multiple parts. I think I usually kill it with the phasesaber for the first time.

1.3.1 in 2 days, too.

Sweet, I forgot that was a button on my menu. Here's a shot of my cliffside mountain base and surrounding area. I'm gonna turn that space between the cliff and wood fort into an arena:



I've built a railway across the surface to either side of the world. The left side isn't much to look at. I've drained the ocean and am going to turn that into a base of some sort. Meanwhile, the one to the right I've turned a small station with an underground and underwater viewing tunnel. It's, uh, good for looking at sharks safely:

And on a completely different game I did something similar, and built a purely cosmetic village for my dudes to live in:

Just wanna say that tower is super cool and I really like the spiral stair thing you made. I never thought of using platforms like that so it seems really clever to me. Also enjoying the ongoing journeys going on in the thread.

Where do images get saved? I can't find where my base shot is.

Cennxx just tweeted a 1.3.2 feature which sounds very nice; Chest Sorting. I've not dived into 1.3.1 yet (busy with other games and waiting for mods to update) but 1.3.2 talk already is interesting.
