So I went into a lizahrd temple, got a solar tablet and summoned an eclipse. The enemy variety was pretty much doubled and I'm sure I didn't get all the new stuff, but I did get two kinds of yo-yos, one of which without a modifier had more damage on it than the terra blade.

AMooseDoesStuff posted:Does anyone know what the 'Key of the Night' does? You can craft it with 15 souls of night. If you put it in an empty chest it spawns a corrupt mimic, which drops some good poo poo. The things move fast, hit hard, and take a lot of damage. There's also a key of light made from souls of light, which has the same deal. I got a hook from the hallow mimic that was strictly better than the dual hook I had been using.

According to the wiki the drop from the nymphs is 100%, though I can't verify this because I haven't seen a nymph since before the update.

A word of caution: even if you can remove dungeon bricks you shouldn't demolish the dungeon entrance. I did that on one of my earlier worlds because I wanted blue brick and there's no cultists there, even though I killed the Golem on that world.

Same. Hell, I make it worse on myself by getting all sorts of materials for building and never doing anything with them. At least 1.3 added a whole lot of furniture and poo poo that would work great for my most ambitious and pretty much only good idea, now I just need to pin down what I actually want to do with the thing.

dis astranagant posted: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. Nah, it just doesn't show up at all on normal worlds if you don't have an item in it. It will still pop back up empty if you go back to an expert world. e: Wow, so if you put a social accessory into the sixth slot and go back a normal world the accessory won't display on the character. Normal mode just will not let you do anything with the slot. Akett fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Jul 3, 2015 |

kazil posted:I've got one but it was in a hardmode dungeon. Doesn't mean it has to be hardmode, just how I got mine. I might just pop over to a hardmode dungeon then, this is getting ridiculous. I've even fully searched an expert mode dungeon killing poo poo the whole way and it hasn't dropped. Honestly I hated the Ankh Shield more because it took ten items with 1 in 300 drop rates to make, whereas there are only like four items that are drops, two of which were already in the game, one admittedly is being a pain for me, and the last is admittedly insane because nymphs are rare as gently caress, but the wiki says it's a 100% drop in expert mode. The only other problem I'm having is that the traveling merchant is being a pain in the rear end about showing up.

At least you can guarantee one of those quests a day, the traveling merchant will only show up 1 out of five days and you need three loving things from him. I've already gotten the fish finder items from the angler, I still need the stopwatch and the lifeform analyzer because the traveling merchant is an rear end in a top hat.

oddium posted:work in progress That's rad as hell. The little hidden area reminds me of my favorite thing I've ever built.  The cave used to be a dumping ground for dirt and cobwebs back before the game had the inventory trash can. After that was added it was pretty much just a little bit of scenery on my way into hell, but then after 1.2 hit I noticed my witch doctor occasionally hanging out in there, so I thought it would make a cool arcane laboratory. I'm kind of trying to think of a way I can put an alchemy table in there without it looking bad, but I haven't come up with anything yet. That goddamn rightmost arcane rune is almost always blank and it's annoying as gently caress. I've tried to keep the cave itself as close to it's original shape as I could, but I've modified it some, the biggest change being my sloping the blocks and digging out the altar area. Oh yeah, and get a load of my nerd costume.

The thing about containing the crimson, as well as the corruption and I'll just use crimson to refer to both, is that when you go into hardmode it makes a large diagonal pattern on one side of the world with hallow taking up the other side, together making a large V. There's no way to know beforehand which side of the V is going to be taken by the crimson. Furthermore, whenever you smash an altar one random bit of stone in the cavern layer will be converted into crimson.

jetz0r posted:The main neat things are my super-market style automated glass doors to keep NPCs from falling into the death pit below the base, while letting me run through without pausing. Those are pretty drat cool, but I haven't seen NPCs go over platform edges since 1.3 started, even if it's just a 1 tile gap with more platform on the other side. I've even used this to corral them into areas so they will stop falling off loving cliffs making me have to go find them. Still though, a bit of caution works wonders and that will help some in invasions and is cool.

legoman727 posted:Okay, is there a trick to catching a truffle worm? I just want to fight Fishron and sitting around in a mushroom biome for ages just isn't working. First off it needs to be an underground mushroom biome, second off you should make sure you at least have a lifeform analyzer to help you know if one is around. One of those teleport rods that drop from chaos elementals will help immensely because you need to be quick to get a truffle worm, but the things can take a while to drop. E: Oh yeah, you will want a whole drat lot of mushroom biome. Clentaminating a bunch of the jungle biome will help, but you could alternately make a long rear end group of bridges out of mud to run along so there's room for the worms to spawn.

They may not spawn as often, but if you are under the water candle effect (i.e. 90% of the dungeon) they will show up often enough that it feels like there's always one on the screen. I'd say they are uncommon at worst, not rare.

Ass_Burgerer posted:As always, this base is a WIP. drat cool base dude! Man, I always feel like my base is so boring compared to everyone else's bases. Look at the thing.  There's very few things I like about it. I kind of like the rooms I made for the first seven NPCs because I managed to personalize the rooms well before I filled them up with clutter. I kind of like how the buildings in the lower left fit the lay of the land some. I legitimately like my arcane lab I posted earlier though. The noir detective office in the upper right came out better than I expected but I feel like it's still missing something. Everything else is a mess, there were so many drat specialized crafting stations added in 1.2 that I pretty much had to cram them around haphazardly just to have places for them that I have quick enough access to. You can see the base of my biggest disappointment to the right though, a huge tower made of demonite that manages to be boring despite my using the coolest most interesting brick in the game, lit by the coolest drat torch type in the game. The layout is a boring winding path leading up to a boring Orthanc ripoff at the top because I had no clue what I wanted to do up there. I've also got a golden tower that is mirrored in layout, but that one is even more boring because gold isn't as interesting due to not glowing and there is no lighting half as cool as demon torches.

Dareon posted:1.3 adds rainbow torches. Won't help the boringness of the layout, but gold lit in rainbows is at least a nice thematic mirror of demonite architecture. Add some clouds to the top of the gold tower, some Living Flame (Or yellow and red gemspark, or mystic lavafall) blocks to the bottom of the demon tower, you got a party. I appreciate the advice, though I don't want the demon tower to look "evil" as much as powerful and "dark," and I don't want the gold tower to look "good" as much as "light." I know it's all very silly. Also any light source I add to the gold tower needs to have a lamp, which limits my options ridiculously. http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Strange_Plant posted:Strange Plants cannot grow within 700ft of each other, or any other dye plant.

Yeah, strange plants are rare not because the chances for them to spawn are low, but because they are too embarrassed to be seen within 350 blocks of any other dye plant, strange or mundane. That might sound reasonable until you realize that you pretty much have to build a farm as high on your map as you can, because a single marigold can block 1/12 of the entire surface of your world from spawning strange plants. The closer to the ground you want your farm the more underground dye plants like orange bloodroot and the green and teal mushrooms will also start to annoy you and those will pop up in places that will pretty much require a map viewer to find, so do yourself a favor if you want the cool dyes and build your farm up in space so you only need to patrol the surface. The plants are as tall as you are, so make sure you have enough room to walk on the dirt. Don't bring a staff of regrowth or plant any grass seeds, that will allow blue berries and yellow marigolds to spawn and you don't want those.

On the one world where I've seen probes I destroyed three before I knew what their deal was, which worked out because they occurred during blood moons and eclipses and poo poo, the fourth one also happened during an event but I let it go without consequence, the final one I just slapped a bit and let leave and no invasion happened. Kind of annoyed because I want to see how bad the invasion is. Similarly I have been trying to get two more tattered cloth so I can make a goblin battle standard to fight the hardmode goblin invasion, but the loving scouts refuse to spawn. The most progress I've made since the patch has been my killing Duke Fishron a few times netting me a tempest staff and a razorblade typhoon, and my running the pumpkin moon getting me a horseman's blade. Most of the rest of my time has been putting up with strange dye bullshit. I think I'll just get the last few drops I ain't got from Fishron and the pumpkin moon before running the frost moon so I can get the stuff from that before I start the martian and lunar poo poo.
