[warm spindle]

Beauty is in the eye of which you hold her.

[solemn onyx]

But yeah you still get the expert drops, I meant that master doesn’t actually do very much

The expert drops are still the best bonus perks of master

[warm spindle]

You said there are more perks.

When in fact all those perks carry over to Master Mode.

[viscid sand]

truffle mount is nice but it has specific requirements to be good. Witch's broom is the best mount that has no conditions, but also expert

[solemn onyx]

Expert adds drastically more perks than master adds. I think you just misunderstood what I said

Master inherits expert perks but doesn’t add them/they’re not exclusive to it

[warm spindle]

But... Expert cant have Master perks unless you play Master Mode first.

[solemn onyx]

I think you’re just misunderstanding what I’m saying

Because that response doesn’t make sense

[warm spindle]

And you cant use the extra accessory slot in Master World.

[viscid sand]

I love all 5 master mounts, they are all amazing in their own way 😄

[warm spindle]

Well... I mean... I get what you are saying. Expert mode adds a lot morw useful stuff to the game than Master Mode does. But the thing is... all the Expert mode stuff is included in Master Mode.

[viscid sand]

the Hexed Branch is insanely fun, fastest mount in the game without a special condition. amazing for doing platform kites of bosses

[solemn onyx]

If you compare expert to classic, expert has a huge number of perks and changes. If you compare expert to master, there are very few changes and perks. That is the comparison being made

[warm spindle]

What I said here wasnt excluding Expert Mode at all. And I didnt ever say Expert Mode didnt have cool perks.

[viscid sand]

[solemn onyx]

And while master does still have those changes, I just meant that the jump from expert to master really changes very little

So if you make the decision between expert and master, master has few perks compared to expert

[warm spindle]

Ok

[viscid sand]

the best thing Master adds is a slight increase in challenge, I can't go back to expert cause it's far too easy and boring after LGFB

[warm spindle]

Although Master Mode includes Expert Mode perks.

shrugs

[solemn onyx]

I found lgfb pretty miserable personally

Expert is a nicely balanced difficulty imo

[viscid sand]

not the best way to phrase that if your point is what each one adds. that phrasing implies you don't get the same stuff in master. Better way to put it is master doesn't add as much for the increase in difficulty.

but yeah it's fine to love expert if it's what you are comfortable with. not everyone likes harder gameplay or has the skill to do well in them, it's all about what you find most fun.

[solemn onyx]

i was the first person in the world to go lgfb in hardcore. It sucks

[viscid sand]

the 7th accessory slot alone is more than worth it too me, the 5 additional mounts are all icing 😄

[solemn onyx]

It’s a bad difficulty

[solemn onyx]

That’s fair, the accessory slot is the one really nice thing about master

[civic swift]

the ftw stat increases are pretty fun in pre hardmode, once you reach hardmode it gets a bit ridiculous

[honest trail]

I'm just realizing now that shimmer is way more useful than I ever thought. I was bummed that I had to settle for adamantite armor, but if hardmode metals work like the others do, I could have had titanium this entire time!?

[solemn onyx]

No

[coral halo]

adamantite cannot be shimmered into titanium

but titanium can be shimmered into adamantite

[honest trail]

Oh, okay. I'm less bummed then.

[coral halo]

admantite gets shimmered into orichalcum

[honest trail]

What? Why?

[viscid sand]

LGFB was insanely fun, I didn't do any special run for it, but I also was one of those people that first beat it when it came out. I enjoyed the challenge a lot and it taught me a LOT about alternative ways to fight bosses 🙂

[solemn onyx]

Shimmer only downgrades, titanium is higher tier than adamantite

It’s the alternative ore

And therefore higher ranked

Tier isn’t the right word

[coral halo]

a chlorophyte extractinator will convert between adamantite to titanium and vice versa

[honest trail]

So I got unlucky and only got the worst possible ore pairs in my world? Wow.

[coral halo]

honestly adamantite > titanium imo

[solemn onyx]

I mean adamantite is generally better lol

[honest trail]

You've never used the titanium set bonus, have you?

[coral halo]

I have, it is poop

[solemn onyx]

Titanium set bonus hasn’t been that good since 1.2

It’s only really good for melee

[viscid sand]

If you used fishing or the hardmode extractinator you could have had titanium

[coral halo]

I don't need little shards that won't hit anything flying around me

[honest trail]

It's insane. It does so much damage, and it keeps the wraiths off of you when you're busy sorting your inventory.

[civic swift]

you mean armor specifically? for everything else titanium is straight up better

[coral halo]

they disappear when I'm not attacking anything though

[solemn onyx]

They mentioned the armor as what they wanted, so it’s a reasonable assumption

[viscid sand]

personally I think titanium now sucks, I rather have the class buffs

[coral halo]

titanium armor does have some armor mixing potential though

[solemn onyx]

I mean it’s slightly worse damage and the set bonus is sometimes nice for specific things

[honest trail]

I actually shimmered every single ore that I got from my extractinator that wasn't from my world, and every single one converted properly. That means that I somehow got unlucky and scroed the bad pair of every ore in my world.

[solemn onyx]

It’s not like it’s outright bad

[coral halo]

mythril supremacy

[honest trail]

I don't really know what all the good pairs are, I never use anything but platinum+, but I guess I got all the abd ones, lol.

[solemn onyx]

Titanium > adamantite > Orichalcum > mythril > palladium > cobalt

[honest trail]

Okay, nvm, I got exactly one of the good pairings, Palladium instead of Cobalt.

[solemn onyx]

That is how the game treats them, not necessarily which is better

[viscid sand]

Frost Armor > Adamantine > Titanium (IMO)

[civic swift]

I find it kinda funny how relogic went from trying to make every world unique to making sure you can get everything in every world

[honest trail]

I think the game bases that on the raw stats of the items.

[solemn onyx]

The weapons and tools, yes

The armor is not clear cut

Mythril armor is way better than Orichalcum as melee, for instance

Better damage than the tier 3 ore too

[solemn onyx]

Yeah I think there was a shift in design philosophy over the years

[viscid sand]

all armors are up to your preference really

unless you are summoner, you MUST go spider or you will suffer

[honest trail]

The raw stats are clear cut though. Set bonuses aren't the raw stats, they're special stats that you get for putting yourself in special circumstances. People might disagree over whether or not titanium is better than adamantite, but if you look at the raw stats of each item on their own, titanium is better by mathematical proof.

[coral halo]

forbidden

[viscid sand]

[solemn onyx]

Adamantite has better raw stats what the hell are you smoking lol

For the armor

Are we talking about the armor?

The “normal” ores have better stats, the alternatives have a unique set bonus

That’s the trade off

For the armors

[honest trail]

I'm pretty sure that titanium has higher stats. I'm almost certain that the defense rating of a titanium helmet is higher than an adamantite one.

[solemn onyx]

It has 1 less defense overall and less damage

[viscid sand]

and Frost Armor is just plain better than both, me like frostbite

[solemn onyx]

The helmet is 1 higher

[crude wyvern]

Maybe, but Adamantite Armour has more total defense

For example, Titanium Armour (Melee) has 49 defense whilst Adamantite Armour (Melee) has 50

[solemn onyx]

The “normal” ores are also cheaper

An adamantite armor set takes 54 bars, titanium is 59

[honest trail]

Yeah, you're looking at it as a set, and not as single items in isolation, which I already explained is what I'm doing.

[solemn onyx]

Then why do you care about the set bonus

If you aren’t using the full set

[viscid sand]

except no one does that, that's just bending over backwards to make a point

[solemn onyx]

You can tally up the damage stats and see adamantite is better too

[honest trail]

I literally never said I did, and in fact, explicitly said that I was talking about how the game ranks metals based on raw stats and excludes set bonuses. I literally said I wasn't talking about set bonuses.

[solemn onyx]

Ok, and the adamantite breastplate and pants both have 1 more defense than titanium

What’s your point

[crude wyvern]

Titanium has higher pickaxe power, so I guess that's how the game decides things

[civic swift]

and speed

titanium pick is crazy fast

[solemn onyx]

Titanium pickaxe is goated yeah

[viscid sand]

ewww tier 3 hard mode picks

[solemn onyx]

L take

Titanium is able to reach 1 block per tick

[civic swift]

me mining stone as fast as your maxed out digging claws but with more range

[crude wyvern]

I craft 'em, since Titanium/Adamantite ain't very hard to get anymore

[viscid sand]

just fight the mech bosses and get a better pick

[civic swift]

no

[viscid sand]

Either way which armor is better is almost pointless cause yall should be making frost armor anyway

[crude wyvern]

Mage Players:

[honest trail]

I love shimmer. I have so much gold now. I just converted all of my hardmode metal to gold because there's so much hardmode metal everywhere.

[viscid sand]

yeah the hard mode ores are useless after mechs, at least gold ore can help you with spelunker potions to find more hard mode ores

[honest trail]

My gemcorns are now gems!

I love this stuff so much!

[viscid sand]

finally you start accepting something new about the game

[honest trail]

I need to set up a pump. It shouldn't be hard, I already have a wire running from there to my base for the teleporter.

[viscid sand]

[civic swift]

👍

shimmer at your base is so nice

[honest trail]

If you're talking about my hate for pylons, I hate them because they completely defy my preferred playstyle.

[viscid sand]

you can use the shimmer to reforge weapons and accessories too, takes a bit longer but it's free

[forest trellis]

how expensive would a pump from the shimmer lake to your base in a large world be

[honest trail]

Like seriously. I am literally incapable of using pylons and building a single, centralized city for every npc at the same time.

[viscid sand]

very, I did it on my LGFB world, it was dummy expensive

[honest trail]

I already have a tp that makes that run. It's only like 3~4k wire.

[forest trellis]

oh my underground pylon is in my shimmer lake

very epic

[civic swift]

4000 wires, so 2 platinum

[forest trellis]

2 plat isnt bad

like at all

[next arch]

drip or drown?

[honest trail]

Wire really isn't that expensive. A few dozen plat is nothing when my money keeps rising no matter how much I spend.

[civic swift]

are you in pre hardmode still?

[honest trail]

No.

I'm pre-plantera now.

[civic swift]

once you reach hardmode money is pretty much a non issue, keeping a supply pre hardmode can be a bit tough

[honest trail]

I haven't run any wires since before killing the first mech, though.

Money was a nonissue pre-hardmode.

[civic swift]

how much did you have pre hardmode?

[honest trail]

I ran like 5plat worth of wire just pre-hardmode, and still had three or four plat in my piggy.

[civic swift]

ah

[honest trail]

Money is nothing.

[civic swift]

yeah thats about normal

[honest trail]

Like, at all. Money is absolutely nothing.

[civic swift]

I use a lot of money in pre hardmode though

[honest trail]

I just keep making more and more.

[civic swift]

like 12 platinum is the minimum I would like to keep in my bank

[honest trail]

My RoD farm, which still hasn't gotten me one, also spawns a lot of mimics.

Like, a lot. I get several plat per trip from mimics alone.

Not even the hallowed mimics either, just regular mimics.

[civic swift]

you know about farming mimics on the surface?

[honest trail]

Yes, but I'm doing it underground. My "RoD" farm is more multipurpose. It's great for farmimg mimics, hallowed mimics, and all manner of underground dwellers.

I've killed so many chaos elementals though...

[civic swift]

👍

if you just want money surface is the place to farm

[honest trail]

Basically, depending on where I stand, the purpose of my farm changes.

[dull cliff]

mimics and biome mimics are an excellent source of cash. though biome mimics do make AFK farming more tedious

[next arch]

should i summon a pirate invasion with 51 def and unreal onyx and godly bananarang and superior excalibur

[honest trail]

I did pirates with far worse gear than that the other day, (Expert Ranger)

You should be fine.

Apparently, Shimmer doesn't phase you through blocks unless you're fully submerged.

[viscid sand]

these hooks are causing me pain

[grizzled dove]

Who's Russian to everyone?

[honest trail]

If you want to purify sand, it is so much faster to turn it to glass and shimmer it than to use the chlorophyte extractinator

[warm spindle]

guys i made a lead anvil 🤯

Hi

Have u guys heard of a trimerang

no? what is it?

[honest trail]

I wish I could make silt with shimmer...

[warm spindle]

A boomerang made from 3 boomerangs

One of them idk

But u need ice and enchanted boomerang

Talk to the guide

[viscid sand]

I'm amassing a fair number of free mech attempts while grinding stuff 😄

[warm spindle]

Man what the hell

Manwutdaheel

bro there is boomerangs in this game, im playing like a week💀

What

I don't... What?

i didnt know that XD

[honest trail]

You can find them in chests undergrouns.

Wait, you've been playing a week and only now have an anvil?

[civic swift]

no boomerangs are found in chests underground, lol

[warm spindle]

no, i mean i played before few days but i made a new world

[honest trail]

Yes there are. That's where you find enchanted ones.

[civic swift]

nope

theyre only craftable since 1.4

[honest trail]

Seriously?

That's completely dumb.

[warm spindle]

i can agree

[next arch]

should i fight twins with superior excaliber, godly bananarang and a unreal onyx with 51 def>?

[civic swift]

sure

[next arch]

nah man the ice one and wooden one are the underground ones, the eboomerang is the crafted one

[warm spindle]

Good luck with finding the missing wall

[viscid sand]

the dirt walls dont count

got to remove all that dirt

[forest trellis]

natural dirt walls dont count as walls

also your roof is purely platforms

[oak pasture]

Anyone wanna fight supreme calamitas w me?

[viscid sand]

#archive-ltp

[honest swallow]

Seeing this makes me want to start a new world

[solemn onyx]

a roof can be purely platforms, it's the floor that needs blocks

[forest trellis]

o rly?

never knew that

[last merlin]

Could some1 give me an easy weapon to get, that you can obtain snapthorn with?

[solemn onyx]

like a minion?

Vampire frog is solid

Or flinx staff

Vampire frog is "if a blood moon happens/you're equipped to fish and kill the things," flinx is the easier option

[fringe yoke]

is there any gun that truly has no limit on firing speed just your click speed

[fringe yoke]

Vampire frog staff is easy-ish to get as long as you make a fishing cage

[stark galleon]

is there any way to get the seed of a corrupted world (like one you can't play on because it's broken)? cuz the option to copy it isn't showing up in game, like the little button to copy it

[solemn onyx]

No, the fastest firing weapon in the game is the chain gun (which also has autofire)

[fringe yoke]

darn

[viscid sand]

I've done like 15 crimson mimics and still no knuckles, this is my atonement for getting a RoD instantly

[fringe yoke]

also wait does terraria have crossplay google is being very iffy if it does or not

[viscid sand]

only between PC and mobile and only on servers

[fringe yoke]

huh. pc and mobile would have been the last thing i would have thought would have cross play

[viscid sand]

I think I'm gonna do eater of worlds for my first hard mode boss

FINALLY got flesh knuckles from a natural mimic

[fringe yoke]

so i got snapthorn, the mechanic, shadow keys, golden keys, the elder slime, is there anything else i need from the dungeon

[viscid sand]

alchemy table and bewitching table

also you mean Spinal Tap?

[fringe yoke]

yeah

[fringe yoke]

also bewitching table you get from the witch doctor right?

[viscid sand]

not for a while

[fringe yoke]

oh

[viscid sand]

that's in hard mode

[fringe yoke]

ah piss ok back to the bone zone

[viscid sand]

if you find 2 alchemy tables or 2 bewitching tables you just have to shimmer one to get the other

[oak pasture]

Anyone wanna join for supreme calamitas

[viscid sand]

#archive-ltp

[fringe yoke]

jokes on you i have no idea how to find the shimmer biome

[viscid sand]

[fringe yoke]

oh also shadow keys go for alot of money huh

geuss thats more reason to esplore the dungeon

[crude otter]

Why i cant open my pack that i got from eye of chtulu?

[latent hemlock]

right click it

[crude otter]

I alr did it

I can call u on discord and show you

@latent hemlock

[latent hemlock]

is your inventory full

[crude otter]

No

[warm spindle]

It is time.

[viscid sand]

been a while since I last saw a 4-gem cave

[warm spindle]

Time to start my Master World + new character. Wish me luck.

[viscid sand]

good luck

welcome to the fun 😄

you've been away from actually playing progression for a while so feel free to ask any advice

[warm spindle]

Sweet sounds good. I think I have my progression down. What sucks is that going for summoner early is kind of tough. I know I won't be in any shape to kill the Queen Bee right away so I'll probably have to get some Tier 3 pre-hardmode armor before I do.

But... I can make a graveyard 🙂

In the words of Glen Danzig... "Die. Die. Die. My darling."

And it is going to be a Classic character. I'm not crazy.

Here we go... now to create the world. I'm going Corruption only because A. It is the first evil biome I ever played in 2012 and B. I think the Worm will be easier to beat than the Brain.

I could be wrong about B. though.

[wary hazel]

anyone want to play together?

[solemn onyx]

With proper gear, they can both be dealt with pretty effectively as summoner

[fringe yoke]

My number 1 tip:

[wary hazel]

oops pardon me, there seems to be a channel for that

[warm spindle]

I'll be ok. I don't mind dying a lot.

[fringe yoke]

hahaahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOUD THINK WORM WOULD BE EASIER

[viscid sand]

starting my corruption so I can beat the easiest hard mode boss, EoW 😄

[coral halo]

if you get a good eater of worlds spawn where you can dish out tons of damage, eater is faster, otherwise brain is faster with summoner

[warm spindle]

I've never had a big issue with Worm before. I've fought it way more times than Brain.

[warm spindle]

I think I'll be ok.

[coral halo]

only a few seconds difference

not really a big deal

[warm spindle]

Here we go. Such an original name.

[coral halo]

generally though summoner gets a lot of helpful items from crimson in hardmode, but you can always make your own in hardmode anyways

[warm spindle]

I plan on having a Crimson biome for sure.

Also... if I have issues with anything I can always resort to a slime statue chamber (if I can find a slime statue that is)

[viscid sand]

if you start on a celebration world the princess sells the slime staff at the start 😄

[warm spindle]

Ya that is so cheap haha.

Although I won't need a slime staff to make money on this.

Ummm... so something I just realized (forgive me I rarely use the thing my name refers to) but I realized now you can swing the copper shortsword in different directions now.

I'm creating my graveyard now.

[coral halo]

perish! and perish again!

[warm spindle]

I am putting it away from my spawn point.

And just to the right of it... a natural entrance. Joy!

[fringe yoke]

why do gravestones get light up by the dangersence potion?

[coral halo]

maybe because they sometimes spawn ghosts when broken

[viscid sand]

cause the spawn ghosts and they create a graveyard biome which overrides town safety

[warm spindle]

When you drop them on death they roll about??

[viscid sand]

they dont do damage unless you are on one one a couple special seeds that make them deadly

[tiny badge]

Wait, what? Tombstones deal damage on secret seeds?

[viscid sand]

on a couple of them

first hard mode boss down 😄

[warm spindle]

Hard mode?

[viscid sand]

yes

you can't fight the boss of the other kind of evil on a world before hard mode cause that's when the seeds for that evil are sold.

[pure oriole]

https://prnt.sc/c35WK1Mh-5V5

what is this

[viscid sand]

and I'm finally done with my early hard mode upgrades 😄

[pure oriole]

ryoku

[viscid sand]

?

[pure oriole]

what is the accessory 4 up from the bottom

[desert veldt]

What class?

[viscid sand]

[desert veldt]

Summoner

Sorry

I lack braincells

[coral halo]

they are melee (source: trust me)

[desert veldt]

They are summoners

Look at the accessories

[coral halo]

I know

[brittle shadow]

funne

[brittle shadow]

no they’re rogue class smh

[viscid sand]

Obviously Bard class

[coral halo]

no, it's gotta be thrower

[viscid sand]

first kill!

and the mount lol

[coral halo]

pro tip: don't let their small size fool you

[viscid sand]

Small Destroyer lol

[coral halo]

celebration seed is really funny

[warm spindle]

what are useful/neat things i can farm from statues? i know it used to be a ton of stuff before something was nerfed. (all before i started playing)

i've collected every type i've come across so i probably have something worthwhile

[noble rivet]

Hey Terraria when you are making an another uptade could you add a zenith bow?

[viscid sand]

FIRST ATTEMPT! using a minion you get at the start of the game!

[noble rivet]

Lol

[viscid sand]

[noble rivet]

what mode are you on?

master, expert, classic?

[viscid sand]

master celebration

[noble rivet]

Nice

[viscid sand]

and I still have more attemps 😄

Abigail is the best summon in the game relative to when you can get it

[noble rivet]

Getting so much getting Gold lol

[trail nest]

Anyone know what the best accessories for damage endgame melee?

[terse plover]

Could I get some help I just got a PC

[trail nest]

Thank you

[warm spindle]

@viscid sand would you say a double-summoned abigail is better than 2x imps or hornets?

[coral halo]

no

[fringe moat]

What stage of the game

[warm spindle]

pretty much completely done with every last thing i can do, accomplish, or set-up in pre-HM

[fringe moat]

pre-HM no
HM yes

[warm spindle]

i play melee so whatever summons i have are just there for free DPS

[viscid sand]

at low slots it sucks prehard, but with 5-6 slots in pre-hard it's really good cause it's not just the damage that stacks but several stats

[warm spindle]

oh nice

[viscid sand]

in hard mode it's a BEAST

especially with a fire cracker

[warm spindle]

i'm starting to think about either swithcing or looking into multiclassing to summoner

[viscid sand]

it does 300+ hits with firecracker

[terse plover]

Anyone want to help me I'm pretty new to the game

[spark sand]

Yes

I can help u

[warm spindle]

alright, well... guess i'm gonna go kill wally now, nothing else left to do

thanks world gen

[dusk snow]

Hey it's not that bad tho 💀

[fringe yoke]

yeah but its still goofy to me

Go to #archive-ltp if you're looking for other people

[warm spindle]

is that good

[fringe moat]

If you like lava yea

[keen bolt]

Any servers?

[potent bolt]

Has anyone ever seen an underground living mahogany tree that's in the snow biome?

[fringe moat]

Are you on Getfixedboi

Or some other special seed

[dusky forge]

Should I keep the cobalt shield? I’m playing Ranger

[fringe moat]

No

[dusky forge]

I have wings, the shield of Cthulhu, cobalt shield, terraspark boots, magic quiver, worm scarf, wings, and Ranger emblem

Is that a good set

[fringe moat]

What stage are you

[dusky forge]

I’m about to fight plantera

[potent bolt]

Nope. Just a normal random seed.

[fringe moat]

Never then

[potent bolt]

Huh

[fringe moat]

Never seen a living mahogany tree in an snow biome then

[solemn onyx]

It should be impossible for them to overlap or spawn there outside of special seeds, yeah

Did you find one? What’s the seed?

[potent bolt]

Yeah yeah let me grab the seed

[fringe moat]

Soba and Sorbet
Sorbabet

[potent bolt]

1.1.2.16887578

[solemn onyx]

Will check it out later, thanks

Sounds interesting

[potent bolt]

I have a ss if you want to see it.

It's really confusing

[solemn onyx]

Sure

This is very strange for a normal seed, yeah

[fringe moat]

The tree’s just not like other girls

[coral halo]

I wonder how this would even happen

[fringe moat]

It’s feeling✨q u i r k y✨

[potent bolt]

I guess so

[digital lodge]

has anyone a hotkey to get the game my friend cant afford it

[potent bolt]

I'm surprised no one here as seen something like this.

[strong ridge]

Anyone tryna give me a zenith

[warm spindle]

is there somewhere i can compare weapons? holding a Molten Fury and Clockwork Assault Rifle and don't know how to judge special features and whatnot

[fringe moat]

Either fighting bosses or dummies
Bosses are usually more consistent and reliable

[warm spindle]

completly forgot you can make dummies in this game, thanks

[halcyon gulch]

Hey sorbet, I heard you wanted a mod for no health regen or something?

Is that right?

[fringe moat]

[halcyon gulch]

Because like

I can make it

Would only take like 5 minutes

Also yesterday I discovered a fact that will be very annoying as a modder

[gilded adder]

hey, i need help to fix resolution bcause i got a new monitor (about 4ft wide, 1.5 ft tall) and its set on 213%. anyways I can fix this?

[halcyon gulch]

The green, purple, red, yellow, blue, jungle and pinky are all the same npc

They all have ID 1

[fringe moat]

You left out the word slime and I was very confused for a second

[halcyon gulch]

Yeah the slimes

I have no clue how the game differentiates them

[fringe moat]

Obviously by the colour duh

[gilded adder]

or maybe by sprite appearence code

like the animations

[halcyon gulch]

The game has a class internally that has a name assigned to every npc that corresponds to a number

[fringe moat]

I was making a joke about the game just looking at the color of the slime not the coding aspect

[halcyon gulch]

Which is the ID of the npc

[gilded adder]

oh ok

[halcyon gulch]

Like for example NPCID.QueenSlime is like 660 or whatever

But the slimes are marked as...

Negative numbers????

[gilded adder]

example?

[halcyon gulch]

NPCID.GreenSlime has a value of -3

[odd root]

man i need friends to play terraria with

[gilded adder]

i can help

[halcyon gulch]

#archive-ltp

[halcyon gulch]

Also the baby slime and black slime

[gilded adder]

hey, i need help to fix resolution bcause i got a new monitor (about 4ft wide, 1.5 ft tall) and its set on 213%. anyways I can fix this?

[halcyon gulch]

No idea

[gilded adder]

dang

[cinder dock]

[cinder dock]

[fringe moat]

#terraria-modded

[cinder dock]

ok ty

[warm spindle]

After a slight delay I will be continuing my Master World playthrough lol

Well... Zombies are bad ass.

[civic swift]

Lol

[warm spindle]

First accessory? A step stool. I'm sure Zombies will walk right underneath me with it.

I never thought dying would be this fun honestly.

[civic swift]

So fun

[warm spindle]

Ok now we're talkin'

[civic swift]

Lol

Found a desert yet?

[warm spindle]

Nah I'm just exploring this cave east of my spawn point. I'm sure I'll get one shotted there.

[civic swift]

Nah

[warm spindle]

Hmm. Well Cactus Armor would help a ton.

[civic swift]

Vultures are pretty easy to knock back and cactus armor carries early game

[warm spindle]

If and when I die again in this cavern I will head west and scope that out.

[ruby pelican]

Pearlwood armor better

[civic swift]

Honestly I would say no, lol

[ruby pelican]

It got buff

[civic swift]

How much defense does it have now?

[ruby pelican]

gimme sec

[warm spindle]

Too bad Hallow doesn't spawn Pre-Harmode

[ruby pelican]

8 whole defense💪

[warm spindle]

If Abigail spawns I'll be made in the shade.

[civic swift]

Yeah theres no way it's better than tha cactus set bonus, lol

[ruby pelican]

set bonus give +1 thats huge

[civic swift]

Lol

[warm spindle]

How goes the Spider Cave farm?

[civic swift]

Pretty much finished, haven't worked on it in a couple weeks

[ruby pelican]

whats so funny it can carry you up to plantera W armor

[civic swift]

So true

Pearlwood armor now gives holy protection as a set bonus

[ruby pelican]

yeah

[warm spindle]

Only thing I did was get 79 plat on a Pumpkin Moon event lol

[warm spindle]

Iron Anvil get.

Well well well...

+4 defense get.

[wheat patio]

noice

im also doing a master mode playthrough

currently about to fight Queen Bee

[warm spindle]

I think I made a mistake not building a house right off the bat haha

[wooden crane]

yo anyone know if i can play with my friend on terraria if he plays on PS4 and I play on PC?

[warm spindle]

No crossover play as of yet.

[wooden crane]

alr

[civic swift]

Yeah unless you get a decent weapon theres no way you survive the first night

[cunning violet]

for some reason the witch doctor isnt selling me wings despite being in hardmode and him being in the jungle anyone know why he might not be selling them to me?

[civic swift]

Is it hardmode and is it night?

Just the second one then

Has to be night

[cunning violet]

okay i will retry when it becomes night cuz i know this is how you do it since me previous world but its been confusing me as to why

[prisma spade]

does anyone want to guide me

im new

[pastel hollow]

does anyone know a good seed in terraria

[civic swift]

Any random seed is a good seed

[pastel hollow]

a good start seed

[wheat patio]

I can help guide you

[cunning totem]

how can I craft items more than 1

I don't want to hold

I just want ctrl left click and get all the amount

like in mc

[civic swift]

That's the only way sadly

[cunning totem]

yikes

[viscid sand]

I doubted I could beat master Destroyer with the earliest and easiest summon to get, but that was extremely fun

It got extremely hairy and I was down to like 10 HP at one point but I did it first try

[silver obsidian]

dang destroyer grows hair in mm

[viscid sand]

Good thing I'm sponsored by Manscape

And their new Lawnmower 3.0

[silver obsidian]

wait wheres it growing that hair!?!

[viscid sand]

[silver obsidian]

[viscid sand]

I will never doubt the power of Abigail ever again

One of the best minions that can carry you to mid hard mode

[warm spindle]

||inb4 it gets debuffed||

[warm spindle]

I have Finch Stuff (which has been a big help) but I am making my graveyard bigger atm.

[viscid sand]

It actually got buffed a bit

[warm spindle]

Oh I figured but I read up on it and if that thing can carry you into mid-hardmode... it's super good haha.

[wheat patio]

huh

Ive never tried hardmode abigail

[viscid sand]

Specifically use it with the firecracker whips so it does over 300 damage per explosion

[wheat patio]

JJJEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[viscid sand]

In pre-hard Abigail only gets 55% of it's base damage per slot used, but in hard mode it gets 130% of it's base damage per slot used.

So it gets a MASSIVE damage boost

[wheat patio]

thanks

ima use that next summoner playthrough

[cunning violet]

ive moved the witch doctor 3 times this time deeper into the jungle caverns instead of the surface shall i try again when its full turned night and not raining?

[viscid sand]

What are you trying to get?

[cunning violet]

the wings from the witch doctor

im in hardmode and have loads of npcs in my place ive put the NPC in the jungle but each time ive gone to him at night ive been given nothing just his usual stuff

[viscid sand]

He only sells those post plantera

[warm spindle]

Is this some kind of reminder I finished a FTWL map?

[viscid sand]

[cunning violet]

dammit i forgot about plantera

[cunning totem]

what can I replace shield of cutuhlj

with

[viscid sand]

Very rare to see that "hot spring" type of thing

[cunning totem]

pre golem

[viscid sand]

Master ninja gear

[cunning totem]

?

[viscid sand]

You get a dash and a Dodge

[warm spindle]

I have never seen it til now haha

[cunning totem]

10 def

no ty

I want accessory

[viscid sand]

Master ninja gear is an accessory

[cunning totem]

that gives me a dash and can be replaced with the shield of cutuhlu

what

[viscid sand]

[cunning totem]

bruh

sorry

how to get it

[viscid sand]

Its made from tiger climbing gear, ninja tabi, and black belt

The 2 hard mode parts are from bone lee in the post plantera dungeon

The tiger climbing gear is from climbing claws and shoe spikes

[fallow mason]

question, the wizard hat is gotten from tim right?

[viscid sand]

Yea

[fallow mason]

okay i was wondering what the acheivement i got was

[civic swift]

Just deserts being weird

[cunning totem]

where do I get the tabi from

[viscid sand]

Just said bone lee

In dungeon

[cunning totem]

interesting

[viscid sand]

[cunning totem]

I should have one

does mage even need dash?

or ms

[viscid sand]

Now that I've beat a mech boss I suppose I can skip the cool whip and go straight to durendal.

[viscid sand]

All classes benefit from movement and dodge chance

It's not like the shield where you can offensively dash into enemies

It's only for get out of the way of attacks

And the chance for attacks to miss you is extremely useful too

[fallow mason]

does anybody have a spare staff of regrowth in vanilla

[warm spindle]

Cactus Armor get.

[viscid sand]

Very easy to find a staff of Regrowth in the jungle or by jungle fishing

[warm spindle]

Axe of Regrowth top tier tool.

Unlimited wood get.

Well easier unlimited wood get.

And seed harvesting.

[dense glen]

oh wow they changed the queen bee boss sound

[fresh cedar]

aaa

[dense glen]

Wait, you can use it to grow plants faster?

[warm spindle]

You can use it to cut down trees and it will replant an acorn where you chopped down the tree.

[kind osprey]

what mech boss should i start with and what will i need for the fight

[dense glen]

i did not know this feature

This also applies to cactus?

[warm spindle]

You can't grow cactus with an acorn I do believe.

If you plant an acorn in Sand you get Palm Trees.

lol cactus armor kills stuff

[civic swift]

Indeed

[warm spindle]

How often are you supposed to get both types of the same ore on the same map? Because doesn't Tungsten = Platinum?

[civic swift]

Nope

Tungsten is silvers alternate

[warm spindle]

Oh I have Iron, Tin, Tungsten, Platinum.

I guess there are 4 tiers of pre-hardmode ore that generate besides hellstone ore.

[civic swift]

4 basic ores, yeah

[warm spindle]

I really did stick too long to my OP character XD

[civic swift]

Lol

[warm spindle]

Ohhh..... ALMOST got me.

[dense glen]

lol

[warm spindle]

Welll...... Minecart Track is good.

[dense glen]

i died from that one time the rails ended in lava pool

[fresh cedar]

anyone wanna play together

im bored

[cunning violet]

with the wyverns how often do they spawn cuz im getting none atm but have seen one or two

usually they spawn rlly often

[warm spindle]

Hmmm... Katana or Mace.

[warm spindle]

It's not super often but the higher up in space you are the better.

[dense glen]

use water candle or potion buffs

[cunning violet]

just after i sent that one appeared before me 😆

[dense glen]

[warm spindle]

Love when that happens.

I think that will hold me over for awhile.

[dense glen]

nice

[cunning totem]

what is next mage armor upgrade

ectoplasm armor?

i got plantera down

im currently with chorlophyte armor

[blissful marten]

yea get that

[cunning totem]

done

[ruby shale]

how am i supposed to get souls of night

[warm spindle]

Find/create a corruption/crimson biome in cavern layer.

[coral halo]

kill enemies in cavern corruption or crimson

[warm spindle]

should my first goal in HM be a mech boss? get geared up for one and get the steampunker asap?

i haven't popped an altar yet, i'm not sure what i should be doing

[tawny trail]

anyone got a tinkerers workshop?

[coral halo]

nothing really wrong with breaking altars and mining ores (except for occasional pirate invasions and natural mech spawns)

you could do one of the mechs first or try queen slime

what you do really depends on your class

[warm spindle]

Abigail's Flower get.

i am completely tricked out for pre-HM and while the new mobs aren't quite as easy i'm still not having a lot of trouble unless i get sloppy

running melee and plan to stay that way for the moment

Dude... I haven't used Abigail's Flower before... and all of a sudden I ||hear this weird ass sound that kinda jump scared me because I thought I was getting ready to fight something.||

[cunning totem]

how to summon pumpkin moon

I got it crafted but can't summon

what time does it require

[warm spindle]

Must be between 7:30 PM and 4:30 AM

Best summoned at 7:30 PM on the dot

That's a better view of it

You don't belong in this world...

[autumn cosmos]

[warm dome]

[warm spindle]

I'm a fan of Summoner personally.

Well Sentry/Summoner.

[warm canopy]

[warm spindle]

It's time for some Platinum armor me thinks.

[tiny radish]

if anyone doesnt need their trading cards trade them to me pls 🙏

[wheat patio]

i would but im ready for Supreme Calamitas

[fringe moat]

#terraria-modded

[wheat patio]

I love summoner

whenever I do a playthrough, its either summoner or melee

[warm spindle]

mimics are still passive aggressive right

[fringe moat]

If you mean they need to be angered to attack yes

Passive Aggresive is if it gives you a backhanded compliment or smth

[warm spindle]

"That wedding dress and veil you are wearing would look even better on my mom." That what you're talking about?

[fringe moat]

No that’s just a sentence

Statement

Or opinioj

[warm spindle]

Oh

Can you give me a backhanded compliment?

[fringe moat]

Something like “You’re not as dumb as you look”

[warm spindle]

Well... I am though. So that doesn't count.

Now you're just fibbing.

[fringe moat]

On the surface it’s saying your smart and the implication if you look dumb

[warm spindle]

"The implication." - Dennis Reynolds

[fringe moat]

What

Backhanded compliments are compliments with insulting implications

[warm spindle]

I take it you've not watched much of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[fringe moat]

Never heard of it

[warm spindle]

I'll see myself out.

[cunning totem]

how to make aquarium

like

big one

not the small

also is it limited for specific fish or can I put anything

[fringe moat]

How detailed of a description

[fringe moat]

The only thing that can be considered an aquarium I’ve seen in this game are fish bowls

[cunning totem]

fish bowl

the round thingy

or smth else

[fringe moat]

https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Fish_Bowls

[cunning totem]

can't open links

can u send ss

[fringe moat]

No

[warm spindle]

I got you

[cunning totem]

it's sea horse only

I guess

[halcyon gulch]

ho so apparently the illuminant slime is made out of afterimages and doesn't have an actual sprite on top of everything

[cunning totem]

sea horse have smth like aquarium

[halcyon gulch]

I did not know that

[cunning totem]

not looking for that one

[warm spindle]

That's all that is there.

[halcyon gulch]

for example the illuminant bat isn't made out of afterimages and instead uses them as an actual trail

[fringe moat]

Terraria doesn’t have Sea Horses

At all

[cunning totem]

xdd

it does

[halcyon gulch]

wtf?

[fringe moat]

We have horses
We have a sea
Do with that what you will

[halcyon gulch]

it does

lol

[fringe moat]

Then the wiki is Lying to me

[river hull]

Anybody know a post shimmer seed with penguin pet?

[cunning totem]

what wiki are you looking at

[warm spindle]

https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Seahorse

lol

[fringe moat]

Never knew Seaborse was 1 word

[cunning totem]

LMAO

bro oppened thge source code

[fringe moat]

I was doing “Sea Horse” so it didn’t show up

[cunning totem]

to search sea horses

[halcyon gulch]

not the source code

[cunning totem]

yeaa : D

[cunning totem]

yes

[warm spindle]

Your google hates you.

[cunning totem]

that's what I was looking for

[fringe moat]

I use the wiki search bar

[cunning totem]

but no clue how to get seahorse

💀

[warm spindle]

Oh there's your problem.

[fringe moat]

It’s easier than going out the wiki every time I need to search something

[cunning totem]

bro fyuk it imma finnish my build tmrw

[silent isle]

why is my world still 4% corrupt do i have to activate hardmode to cleanse everything

[fringe moat]

If you go into Hardmode much more Corruption will spawn

[halcyon gulch]

That was just visual studio not the source code of the game

[cunning totem]

?

it's something in the game

that shows the items

?

also the source code shit was a meme

[halcyon gulch]

visual studio is a thing that is used to edit code files

[cunning totem]

no shit

I had no clue

[fringe moat]

I have just realised your name looks like a cat

[halcyon gulch]

Ok let me explain this
visual studio has a thing that like you type something and it can complete the rest of the word for you
that was a screenshot of that

[halcyon gulch]

yeah

[cunning totem]

how is it going to complete you if it dosen't have source

[halcyon gulch]

also apparently EoW's projectile has an ID of 666
And I also don't know why it's separate from the regular corruptor's shot

[halcyon gulch]

from what info it has

[cunning totem]

that's exactly what source means

[warm spindle]

Magic Mirror Get

[silver obsidian]

dmg?

[warm spindle]

Well I progressed nicely I think for my first Master Mode run. Just lacking a little on the armor department. Gonna have to get decent armor to get summoner armor unfortunately.

With what I have now though I could take on EoC

[dense glen]

dont forget to plant ur garden for buffs

[viscid sand]

There is a pre-boss summoner armor

[dense glen]

flinx armor?

[warm spindle]

Lol I am working on it.

Gonna go Bee Armor first.

[dense glen]

Nice

Goodluck bro

i did queen bee too so i could build in peace

[viscid sand]

Why not flinx fur coat for 2 slots?

[livid bloom]

daytime or night?

[fringe moat]

Never ever have I ever seen anyone go for bee armour as a summoner who knows what they’re doing

[fringe moat]

EoC
Eye of Cthulhu
Not EoL

[livid bloom]

Oh my bad

[warm spindle]

Bee armour is a good armour set tho its just obsidian armour is OP...

well, it got nerfed but still quite great

[viscid sand]

He hasn't actually done progression in a long time, kept playing new worlds with an endgame character

He's a bit behind on current strategies

[fringe moat]

Explains alot

[warm spindle]

I thought Flinx was hardmode?

[random compass]

Ay I'm a god now, I was the first person to make a thorium lfg post for the newest version.

I got it and posted lfg within 15 minutes of it being out

[viscid sand]

No, flinx fur coat is the new pre-boss armor made from platinum and flinx fur it gives 1 defense and 1 slot

[pure oriole]

900 stars overkill for WOF?

[viscid sand]

Very

Unless you are on legendary cause they bounce off WoF on that difficulty

[warm spindle]

I take it that it is just one piece of equipment?

[pure oriole]

nah just classic expert, and i absolutely suck lol

[viscid sand]

Yep, not a set so people use gold or platinum hat and pants

But it's the earliest way to get an extra slot.

[warm spindle]

Did you see I got Abigail? I also have a Finch Staff too.

[viscid sand]

You can take out EoW with a whip and whatever summon you got and make obsidian armor

[warm spindle]

I need to get Snapthorn. I have Leather Whip.

I would feel better with Snapthorn. So I will go for Flinx Coat, Plat Head/Legs, then slay EoW

Wait I mean

After the armor I will get Snapthorn forgot to add that.

I found a sky place with Gravitation potion and I got a Celestial Magnet ;_;

[warm spindle]

I am good. I have something better than that. I have RyokuHasu.

[viscid sand]

Abigail's flower starts pretty bad but ramps up the more slots you get and the more you progress, and only starts falling off again around plantera

[warm spindle]

Ya I am sticking with Abigail.

I have yet to see it shine but I only have one slot.

[livid bloom]

What about sanguine staff?

[viscid sand]

That also works very well but considering I just blew up destroyer with Abigail, yeah it's insanely good early hard mode

With 7 minion slots it does over 300 damage hits in combination with firecracker

Sanguine staff is also relatively hard to get

[livid bloom]

Yeah but unlike sanguine staff it always scare me when I take my torch out in a cave

literal jumpscare

[viscid sand]

lol

Post mech I'm probably swapping to the blade staff I got from first kill of queen slime, I got all the stuff to maximize it

Then back to the firecracker as I swap to tiger

Gonna use blade staff for a single fight

[simple olive]

Is Turtle armor good for Plantera?

[viscid sand]

Very

[simple olive]

alr cool

[livid bloom]

Man grinding dev sets is a pain

trying to get Ghostars and Yoraiz Wings but theyre such rare drops

does luck buffs increase the chances of the drop?

[warm spindle]

im pretty sure it doesnt affect bag drops

"Only enemy drops are affected by luck. The drop rates of items from grab bags like crates or Oysters are unaffected." is what wiki says so probably not

[livid bloom]

aw man

might trade for them since itll be easier

LETS GOOO I GOT TERRAPRISM

[warm spindle]

Wow good job!

[livid bloom]

thanks! Zenith carried 100%

[naive raft]

Why does the True Night's Edge suck now? Why does it do less than two times the damage of its predecessor? This is dumb.

[stable pike]

Because it’s meant to be a crafting ingredient I guess Excaliber is just better

[warm spindle]

I remember when Excalibur was the best melee weapon in the game at one time.

[humble lion]

What I don't like is how the projectiles work

Instead of going straight where you point it when you turn, the direction of the projectiles just slowly moves toward your cursor

[livid bloom]

golem was the last boss for me,

Probably not too long ago

[warm spindle]

I played back in 2012 when Hallow was a new thing.

That was my first time anyways

[scenic lantern]

who wants to play teraria

with me

[pine stump]

me

if you want

[warm spindle]

jeez bruh ive been playing fo r7 hours

[odd root]

same

me n my friend are on brain rn

hes so damn hard

[warm spindle]

nice

[livid bloom]

10 hours..

[livid bloom]

just part of the terraria grind

[warm spindle]

my longest was 17 it was miserable

[livid bloom]

imo the longest sessions are when you do nothing productive

[warm spindle]

on my main acc i have 2000+ hours

[viscid sand]

[warm spindle]

I saved that one.

[livid bloom]

bruh

what do you do in three thousands hours??

[viscid sand]

Played through the game like 30 times

[warm spindle]

6 more to go.

[viscid sand]

grats

[compact panther]

Hi, I'm pretty new to terraria and don't really know much of how to play besides watching a couple youtube videos

is there any advice people can give me to get me started correctly?

[warm spindle]

1. I build shelter. That way if you get overwhelmed by zombies at night you have somewhere safe to go.

This actually should be #1 but cut down some wood and make a bench and Wood Armor + Hammer.

Hammer isn't totally necessary but if you like 45 degree angles on blocks it's a must haha.

[compact panther]

the couple videos I've seen they start by getting cactus armour though instead?

[warm spindle]

3. Go exploring. If it is your first time definitely do a classic character.

[compact panther]

is wood better/easier to get?

[humble lion]

First things first you want to build a house

[warm spindle]

You can get cactus armor yes but your first time playing doesn't hurt to make wood armor.

[livid bloom]

do expert mode its the coolest

[warm spindle]

Just in case your desert isn't close by.

[compact panther]

ah cool

[humble lion]

Blocks all around, make a workbench, make doors, a chair, wall it up, and then put a torch there

[warm spindle]

But ya... build that shelter.

[compact panther]

should I make a base mostly underground or off of the ground?

[warm spindle]

Just start simple.

Build it at your spawn point

[compact panther]

cause don't enemies break down doors and get inside sometimes?
