I didn't see this mentioned yet, but has the GPS always worked in your inventory? Because it and the R.E.K. 3000 both function while in your inventory; they don't need to be in your accessory slots. So awesome. I started a new character and world for this update, and I don't ever remember having so much fun. I lucked out early on and found the Enchanted Sword in the granite sub-biome and it slaughters everything pre-hardmode. I haven't started hardmode yet. Also, yo-yos are amazing once you realize you can freely move it around for the duration while holding the mouse button. Edit: Also, SLIME MOUNT!! It doesn't move very fast but it jumps amazingly high.  Edit 2: Did I say how good the Enchanted Sword is? It autoswings and shoots a high damage glowing projectile every second. I haven't used a single torch or flare in ages.

Zereth posted:Okay it did change. That's annoying. Alt+leftclick marks an item as favorite. It disables quick trash, chest stacking and selling. Good for stackable items that you want to keep some of in your inventory, as well as all your valuable items so you don't accidentally trash them. Edit: I love how useful the npcs are in invasions now. When I had my first goblin invasion, all my npcs were down in the battle area helping kill stuff. The demolition man uses explosives, gun guy shoots them, paint guy was using a chromatic paint sprayer, etc. 1.3 would have been a $20 expansion for any other game and I would have paid it gladly.

I'm having a problem. How do you farm fireblossom in 1.3? In 1.2 you just partially submerged the plants in lava and they would bloom and you could harvest them. In 1.3, it's breaking the fireblossom off and not giving me seeds. I used to run around the nether making a 1x1 enclosure for mature fireblossom plants and getting the plants+seeds. Doesn't work anymore.

I farmed hallowed mimics for the Daedalus Stormbow, and that combined with Holy arrows murdered the destroyer. I killed him enough times to get decked out in hallowed armor then killed the other two. It also murdered Plantera. I'm waiting to kill the Golem until I farm some more gold to get warding on all my accessories, since the stormbow will be useless for that fight. E. Unless the golem area is bigger than it looks on the map.

Here is my crazy mess of a base. Like Tamayachi said, I only have a vague idea of what's in most of them. Important crafting materials are in the water chest next to the forge; the rest are just a hodgepodge of everything. And I have a hallow encroachment on the right side that I badly need to push back. I do have a teleporter network at least; one switch to the dungeon, one to the jungle and one to my favorite fishing spot. Medium world. Also, why isn't my chlorophyte farm working? That's been like that for the past .. 30 hours or so. Ended up farming the jungle for the chlorophyte bullets I needed to kill Moon lord reliably. Let me say, Vortex beater with shroomite armor and chlorophyte bullets tears him apart. UFO mount required for maximum fun. Edit: Geomancing posted:Man I am not enjoying the Martian invasion event. The little guys are fine but I can't kill the saucers, and I can't end the event because once the saucers are up, the little guys don't really spawn anymore so it's just sitting above my house pounding away, and if I die the damaged one flies away and a fresh one takes its place. Do you have a good yo-yo? Farm the hardmode dungeon to get one if you don't. I kill the UFO boss while sitting on the second rung from the top of my mushroom farm. Takes a while but is totally painless. Here's my dungeon farm:  I assume you have Plantera's grenade launcher? Just make a big open area like that, buy rocket III's from the cyborg and launch them nonstop. Use a yo-yo or similar for the skulls and stuff. You can easily make a profit on ammo and you get all kinds of great loot. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jul 7, 2015 |

I thought I took a screenshot but I'm afraid words will have to suffice for this. The Terrarian with yo-yo bag is absolutely INSANE. I just finished a Pumpkin Moon where I had wave 15 go on for at least 3 minutes. At the end, it was a hilarious moshpit with 5-6 pumpkin kings and an equal number of mourning woods all clumped up with me standing in the center holding the yo-yo over the mess. Thanks to the cross necklace, they couldn't damage me faster than I could kill one and get all my life back from the hearts. I ended up getting 3.5 plat and 2 gold chests full of loot after it was all over. I did that in shroomite armor; I really should look into a melee armor set so I actually get some bonuses for the yo-yo.

I have a hint for players new to hard mode: before you kill the wall of flesh, find a floating island, extend a platform out one side a hundred blocks or so and farm harpies until you get a harpy feather. As soon as you kill the wall of flesh, go back to that platform farm and kill wyverns for 20 souls of flight for harpy wings. It's the easiest way to get wings that I know of, and you can't beat the maneuverability and slow fall boost for killing the destroyer. Also, before you kill plantera, go to the dungeon and set up a farm; I like a big empty room that extends about 2 screens. After you kill plantera, load up on rockets from the cyborg, and use the grenade launcher to farm dungeon mobs for better gear.

I'm not sure why, but I started a new character in an expert mode world for the hell of it. It was a real shock to see zombies carrying off my gold the first time I died... but I did get extremely lucky by getting sandstorm in a bottle from a pyramid. I followed it up with cloud and blizzard in a bottle and capped it off with flurry boots. Just insane chest rng... I didn't know that minecart tracks could spawn parallel like this.  Is there any reason not to use life crystals as I find them? I'm not sure what the cutoff point is for goblin army and I want to get a decent equipment set going before I trigger any events. Sitting on 3 right now.

steve, there's no real reason why corruption or jungle should block your progress; just make a bow and arrows and get good at sniping bats / eaters out of the air. You can go a long ways with a jungle/tundra wood bow and fire arrows and you have practically infinite ammo, just requires a bit of farming. It's what I did in this expert mode world; managed to survive a couple nights in the open with arrow spam. I finally got the nerve to take on the Eye of Cthulhu and it got murdered with the space gun + meteor armor, then slaughtered a goblin invasion the next morning. About to try expert Skeletron and see what happens. Regarding King Slime spawning mechanics, the wiki says 'There must be standard, green grass at its potential spawn point'. Does this mean if I pave over the desert with a single tile thick grass carpet that it will be a valid spawn point? e. Also, the bunny mount is AMAZING for early game mobility. Been fighting everything on it since I got it. It only needs 5 angler quests. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 08:36 on May 31, 2016 |

New way found to obliterate expert eater of worlds, only need: space gun, meteor armor set, and a 1 tile thick platform. Get the eater to follow you then just spam space gun at its head and watch it die helplessly. e. bow with jester's arrows works even better. I think I hit more than half the worm with a few. For normal mode before I've just been sitting in a hole and spamming melee on it. That obviously doesn't work on expert with the increased head damage.

Managed to beat expert skeletron. The trick ended up being a 2000 long minecart track stretching from my base to the dungeon with most of it just below the surface > sky transition. I took a couple skull hits then he hovered above me spitting them in front completely missing, then chased the minecart whirling, repeat. I had a couple tense moments when I realized I had forgotten to hammer the track stops to bounce but I got him. e.

What exactly don't you like about the dungeon? Do you have a grappling hook or the Ivy Whip? A stack or two of sticky bombs are good for nuking spikes. Also, the space gun + meteor armor set is a huge help for stunlocking casters and killing skulls quickly. I've never had much trouble with it pre-hardmode. e. Space gun + meteor armor imo is a requirement for doing the dungeon.

It's been about a year since I last was at terraria endgame, but the trick for doing the pumpkin moon is the sword that rains down hundreds of stars or the terrarian yo-yo and just have enough defense and attack to kill the bosses fast enough that you get healed to full from each boss death. e. this strat was on normal, of course, and just involved standing in one spot raining down death.

Welp, this modpack has some insanely OP stuff. I made a small expert world to test how quickly I could down the wall of flesh, and I killed it in about 15 seconds using the GRealm chain launcher firing beenades. I promptly used it to make the 'Pineapple cannon' using HM ores from a slew of golden crates, upgraded it to +7 using Dushy's upgrade tokens, and killed the destroyer 11 times in one night with zero deaths. I think my fastest kill of him was in roughly 9 seconds when I got my bees to attack him as he was unwinding. And WeaponOut has a 'Discordant charm' that I can stick in my head vanity slot so grappling hook key will teleport when the rod of discord debuff isn't up. So. Much. Fun.     Just need to kill skeletron prime and then I'm gonna think about converting my main world to hardmode. lmkSushi's mods has a craftable teleporter so I have a fully functional teleporter network pre-hardmode. e. It cost roughly 15 platinum for the wires, but farming queen bee has given me about 40. Money goes fast in this pack... making that +6 megashark easily cost 10 plat for reforges/upgrades. e2. fun times ahead. megashark+pineapple beenades  Ambaire fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Jan 1, 2017 |

One thing I really like about Thorium mod is that one can get pre-hardmode wings as soon as Eye of Cthulhu is defeated and the blacksmith moves in. Just kill harpies for their drops and craft 'Flight Wings' and one can have their benefits right away. And with the 'wings slot' mod, they don't even occupy a precious accessory slot. In case you're wondering, I got the chlorophyte from a golem that spawned for some odd reason. And the reduced grinding mod seems to have a typo for trifold maps because they've been dropping at least 1 per 5 kills... inventory clutter ahoy.
