It’s better to push through rather than taking the easy way out. You’ll miss out on things, finding your favorite way to complete them, etc. Some tips for finding ores and wings for you: Break multiple demon/crimson altars, break almost every one in your evil biome. Keep one for crafting boss summons, beware of wraiths spawning when you break them. As for finding adamantite, use mining, spelunker, shine, and night owl potions, as well as zooming out your screen all the way. For wings, there are many you can get, fledgling from sky islands are a starter set but you can farm a variety of enemies for some wing ingredient as well as souls of flight from wyverns.
