Kin posted:I'm interested in seeing all the new content but are they any tweaks you guys could recommend to make the grinding less tedious whilst letting me keep the same "feel" of the game? I was thinking something like ores would drop x10 per block or something so that I'd still have to hunt them out to progress, but just not as much. repeating a super tip from pages ago: go to the ocean and fish out (with at least 30% fishing power or so) a nice, orange-tier Reaver shark. this thing is a pickaxe that trivializes existence forever (well, until hardmode). there are other fish as well, Rockfish underground and sawtooth shark also from the ocean.

Archenteron posted:Stick a wall or door in the middle to cut it into two rooms and see if that fixes it? It looks borderline over-big based on what happened last time I tried to make my merchant a pyramid of riches to live in. thank you, that was it. i don't think the game handles non-square rooms very well, it seems. the right bisected half works fine, while the left doesn't-- i only needed the dryad to be in there, anyways.

drat, I've backed up and restarted 3 times to kill the WoF, and each time the hallow has generated on the right side instead of the left. is this predetermined? e: oops, looks like it was the corruption all along. still, I never thought it would be consistent each time, interesting. that ivy guy fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jul 17, 2015 |

as it turns out, even in expert mode, ice golems are still incredibly easy to cheese under the natural tundra cliff formation thingies. managed to get a handful of good stuff, and had just enough adamantite from fishing to make the frost armor, which is a hell of an upgrade considering I had molten before then

HoboWithAShotgun posted:Holy moly, wall of flesh is kicking my rear end on expert. I made 75 blocks of dynamite and set them off with a detonator as soon as I dropped the voodoo doll, but it still had enough health to chase me halfway through the underworld and caress me tenderly with those tentacles. Hellwing bow and the hellfire arrows destroyed him even in expert mode. also threw a few beenades in there for good measure but spamming the bow was enough alone

Evil Fluffy posted:How were the normal spiders doing more than the twins? You get a pair of twins per summon and their base damage is a fair bit higher. Do the spiders just get stuck on bosses and hit rapid fire? they latch on to things and do constant damage, yes. twins have iffy aim and only slightly more actual damage.

The White Dragon posted:iirc hallowed, corrupt, and crimson sandstone walls are the only thing you can't actually craft. Get some pearl-white paint and colorize them? you can't craft mud walls either. but what you can do, i think, is clentaminate regular sandstone walls to turn them into biome equivalents.

Voltin Bolt posted:I had never seen a salamander before looking at the wiki, and wanted to know why because frankly they're adorable. Turns out, you inexplicably and randomly get two monsters chosen out of the group of Salamander / Crawdad / Giant Shelly to populate your caverns with at worldgen. drat, that's odd. i was trying to figure this out too- i thought maybe crimson worlds had crawdads and corrupt worlds had shellies, but it turns out it's even weirder.

Ariong posted:Hooray, I beat the destroyer! Now, what should I make with these Hallowed Bars? Light Disks, a Melee weapon, a repeater? Should I rack up a few more defeats and go straight for the armor? I can get all of these things sooner or later, but which would you recommend getting first? light discs would be nice if they had the homing ability of a possessed hatchet, but they don't and are horrible because of that. if you don't want a megashark, there isn't much else to do with the souls. save the bars for armor (if you want, but frost armor is pretty much better), excalibur (for upgrading in the future), and/or pumpkin medallions for fun stuff in the future Supremezero posted:See, this is what I expected. It's made from the same thing, why doesn't it function the same way! it would also make it super deadly, as falling down from a hellevator could launch you all the way up so you can't safely dismount it. sounds good to me though! that ivy guy fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Aug 1, 2015 |

Blackheart posted:Already beat Duke Fishron and I don't think he has more drops that interest me, what is the simplest Frost/Pumpkin moon arena you can make? I have some traps I harvested from the jungle temple, do I just build a flat colosseum with a high central platform and a lot of traps? I guess I could make new worlds to get more temple traps... Since there's a lot of enemies and item drops I've read that heart statues won't really help much. traps, traps, and more traps. this is simple but works pretty well against a solar eclipse--probably fine for the pumpkin/frost grunts, as well. it's worth it to have heart statues and an actual boss arena above it for when the big guys come in to play, though (still working on that).

i don't remember who was complaining about skeleton merchants a while back but they're drat right. it's a bit of a double-edged sword; i want to sell all the lovely mimic drops and stuff from my rod of discord farm, but disabling the mob spawns is a pain in the rear end!

Blackheart posted:Yeah, eventually every endgame melee weapon fires projectiles anyway, it's kinda silly, so just give in to the yoyos since they count as melee damage. At the stage I'm at I use the Terra Blade for heavy damage, the eye Yoyo for tricky enemies and Vampire Knives when health gets down. All of these count as melee and benefit from melee damage bonuses. (plus the rainbow gun as a free, extra damage zone). have you fought many UFOs yet, because the influx waver is essentially a terra blade upgrade
