There's somethin' fishy goin' on here...
Just picked this up today and spent a few hours cave diving and collecting ores. What type of weapons/armor should I be going for? I see a lot of love for yoyos but have yet to find one and am currently using a 18 damage ice boomerang.

Also is there any way to reroll a item of you got a crap prefix on it?

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.

Anyways, fishing is ridiculous. I spent about a half-hour on gathering bait (worm + star) and sonar potions, doing a couple quests, and fishing in the sea a bit, and now I have a better hook than the gem hook I was using, the best pre-hardmode pick, and a tiny minotaur following me around.

What are you fishing up to give you those items? I just started fishing and have gotten like 15 wood, 1 iron, and 1 gold chest. Best things from them would be the turtle mount and a random puffer fish balloon.

For everyone who says don't start expert fresh, go fishing. I have yet to go farther down than character height and I already have like 6 platinum bars, 14 tungsten bars and other random stuff. Also got lucky with finding a Strange Plant right where I started on the surface and now have 3 bottles of Acid Blue dye.

For pre-hard mode weapons I really like the Starfury.

That's what I am currently using. Managed to find a legendary one to play with and it is super helpful when I want to hide in my holes and still kill mobs. I have yet to find a yoyo anywhere though and don't want to let myself down by crafting a wood one.

So should I make platinum armor or should I hold on to it for later? At this point I am running around in a rain coat dressed like a Pharoah.

While I love the rewards from fishing it doesn't seem to love me today. Using the sonar potion I saw an iron crate, reel it in, empty line. Didn't miss it since it was on the first bob so I don't know but it's irritating as hell when that happens.
