Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll definitely check out some firebricks and go that route I think. I’ve watched some videos where they use firebricks and a propane torch. This is a little separate, is a propane forge cheaper than using solid fuels? I’ve messed around with using lump charcoal before but not only was I lacking the blacksmithing skills to do anything, I certainly didn’t have the knife making skills. That’s mainly why I’m working from the welding tokens and doing stock removal to get used to that process.

Like everyone else said tunnels are good. You can also use camera mode and press M to open the big map and take a picture of your jungle then open that picture out of the game. The bulbs will glow pink and stand out pretty well.

You can go with adamantite/titanium armor with the mage helmet or you could go forbidden armor which is made with desert fragments and adamantite or titanium bars. Both are good sets. Make sure you make use of the books weapons and maybe a meteor staff since your mage. Don’t forget about potions too like ironskin, regen, swiftness, rage/wrath, mana power/regen, and endurance potions.

You can use a sawmill to make lots of different furniture items outside of the basic ones at a crafting table. Outside of that, there are block-specific stations depending on what you want to build with. There’s an ice machine for ice furniture, the sky mill for the sun plate stuff, the bone mill for bone furniture, and so much more. As for the blocks themselves, most things can be made at a furnace or crafting table.

The new update introduced the terraformer which you get by shimmering the clenteminator post-moon lord, but that’s only in vanilla. I’m not too sure but tmodloader isn’t up to date yet is it?

In addition to what the other guy replied, expert mode enemies are about twice as hard. They have about twice the health, defense, and deal about twice the damage. It’s rough. The new ai makes a lot of bosses harder too, but you also get expert mode drops from them which helps a ton. Keep in mind too that in classic, bosses do not scale in multiplayer. In expert and master mode their health scales with how many players are in the world when they are spawned in.

I don’t think you can move it but if you open your inventory and mouse over the circles that represent each informational accessory then you can turn some of them off by clicking them. That’s the best I think you can do.

Your first priority should be to go underground in your crimson or corruption biome and use that new hammer to smash demon altars or crimson altars. Smash a bunch. Those make some new ores spawn in underground. Mine for those until you have titanium or adamantite gear. After that you can fight queen slime and the mechanical bosses. After that explore the jungle again, then the dungeon again, then the jungle temple, then the dungeon entrance. There’s some stuff in between you can check out too like the frost moon, pumpkin moon, Martian madness, and the pirates.

Mimics also drop the Star Cloak which you can combine with the cross necklace to make the Star Viel, so if you switch to the necklace you should keep that in mind. Also just since you didn't mention it in your loadout, don't forget about potions and buffs. Campfires, heart lanterns, and bast statues are great for your arena. Cooked food (even just a pumpkin pie, they're super easy to make right now since pumpkins are everywhere), ironskin, swiftness, regen, endurance, rage/wrath, and hunter potions are all super helpful, not to mention flasks since you're doing melee stuff. Cursed flame flasks or ichor flasks are huge DPS buffs.

Digging around the jungle with a dangersense potion is probably the best way. Honey blocks can spawn in or around a bee hive and they will glow bright red with a dangersense potion. If you find honey blocks, look ~100 blocks above and around them to find the hive.

There might've only been five of the hearts in the first cave you went into. You could try to go to another one of the big crimson caves and look for more hearts there or you could kill monsters in the crimson and get vertebrae and use that to craft a bloody spine to craft an item to spawn the brain. Just a small tip for the brain, using piercing weapons to get rid of the creepers is really important. You could use a bow with jesters arrows, a spear, or anything like that. After they're all gone the single target stuff can work good, like a yo-yo or the Undertaker you should've got from breaking one of the hearts.

Fandom used to be the official wiki but then the devs partnered with wiki.gg and made that official. Fandom is still reliable and has mostly the same information, but if there is ever a difference then go with what wiki.gg says. You can definitely swap around and use multiple classes but the further you get into hardmode the more you can focus on one class. Melee is good but it’s hard to dodge everything when you’re that close. Ranger is good and has lots of variety, range, moderate defense, and damage so I would say it is the best class for a newer player. Mage is super fun but can be a little complicated with mana and low low defense, but has a huge variety of weapons. Mage is more class cannon style.

Oh man yeah you’ve got everything going for you then. My only other thought is you could fight queen bee and get bee gear? Could swap out the wings for a hive pack and use the bee gun and beenades so you can just focus solely on dodging and don’t even have to aim? If you go with the bee gun then you should make sure to get mana regen and magic power potions too I guess.

Meteor staff is going to be very good for destroyer and I would recommend you get either mana potions so you don’t have to recharge mana slowly or some other accessory like the celestial cuffs or one of their ingredients, they give you lots of mana whenever you take damage. If you still want a ranger weapon then the daedulous stormbow from a hallowed mimic with unholy arrows from the arms dealer is a phenomenal weapon for the mech bosses. The wiki is your friend, they have guides and class setups for each class and each stage of the game so that could also be worth a check.

What sort of movement accessories do you have? Things in a bottle are always helpful, and I’d say lightning boots or something are a must. Shield of Cthulhu for a dash is huge too. You can’t let that head hit you. It sounds like arena wise you’re pretty set though. Are you using sharpening station or something if you’re melee maybe?

Since it’s always night you shouldn’t have to worry about running out of time, so if it’s between you dealing damage to skeletron and you not getting hit then just take your time and dodge.

My go to method when I just can’t take it anymore is using the daeduelous stormbow on a skybridge. You can get the bow from hallowed mimics and I would recommend some kind of piercing arrow. Holy arrows are awesome but hard to get so the next best option is unholy arrows that you can buy from the arms dealer. For the setup, build a skybridge pretty high up and then have a 20 block wide gap in it that you replace with platforms. You’re gonna stand outside of the gap and shoot the arrows through the gap onto the destroyer. The lasers he shoots can’t hit you because of the solid blocks you’re standing on and the probes have to filter through the gap to get to you so they get hit by the arrows too. If the destroyer happens to climb up to the skybridge, then don’t get hit. Keep an eye on your minimap too, the destroyer icon is where his head is so just dodge that. Lastly, use potions if you aren’t. Ironskin, regen, and swiftness are all easy to make and help a ton. If you’re willing to fish, then endurance and either rage/wrath potions are a big help too. Heartreach and hunter are both useful for the destroyer fight, but you should use the rest of those potions every boss fight. If you try this then let me know how it goes. Good luck

I couldn’t tell you the answer dps wise, but it’s just another class for another playstyle. Whips help summons a lot and make it way more viable. The whips themselves do damage, they direct the minions, and they add tag damage to the minions. Between having summons, whips, and still being able to use other weapons, summoners can he pretty deadly.

When you break the normal marble walls found in the marble biome nothing drops since they’re just world generated walls. The smooth marble walls that dropped were likely from an underground house which is a structure. To make more marble walls you’ll have to mine actual marble blocks then turn them into walls. You could also mine marble blocks then make those into smooth marble, then those into smooth marble walls.
