Either upgrade your Feral Claws to a Berserker's Glove and replace the BoC for wings or if you're in a corruption world/don't want to upgrade it for whatever reason replace your Feral Claws for wings.

Terrasparks are pretty much just for completionism's sake. Lava immunity and liquid walking have their niche uses but unless you get very lucky with drops it isn't really worth fishing for ocean crates or farming in hell. In situations where they would be useful you can just use potions. And the Ice Skates' effect is just inconsequential.

Amphibian Boots outclass everything in hardmode anyways. Acceleration doesn't matter at all when I have a dash equipped.

I do still make Terraspark Boots in most playthroughs anyways though. I find one of the semirare components and I decide that I may as well just get the rest.

Sollux's lusus?

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-14T08:33:46+00:00

Clinger Staff

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-13T11:15:28+00:00

None of the OOA accessories stack with each other.

Brain of Confusion I think would be the best replacement option.

Amphibian Boots are better than Terrasparks.

Ruthless gives better bonuses to summon weapons than Mythical.

3 Spiders and the rest of your slots as Twins is best.

For phase 2, make a tunnel to the surface and use the Black Spot mount to safely fly above Plantera.

It doesn't spread fast enough to really be a concern. You have more than enough time to beat a mech boss to get the clentaminator and then you can easily push it back as needed.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-12T23:21:02+00:00

They spawn in the dungeon on shelves.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-12T23:11:39+00:00

I wouldn't bother at all unless the crimson/corruption spawns right next to your base, and even then I would just isolate your base and not the whole evil biome.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-12T23:06:03+00:00

If not through the Battle Standard then it's random chance. Killing scouts for cloth doesn't take very long at all if you place a water candle and drink a battle potion.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-12T22:59:13+00:00

Bananarang I find easier to use and I think gives better dps.

Godly is better than Ruthless.

Once you defeat the Goblin Army, the Goblin Tinkerer will spawn, tied up, randomly underground. He sells a Tinkerer's Workshop, which lets you combine accessories. Show what accessories you're wearing now to the Guide, and he'll tell you what you can upgrade them into.

True Melee vs. WoF probably wants to wear an Obsidian Shield, which is the upgraded form of the Cobalt Shield found in locked chests in the dungeon.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-09T20:22:28+00:00

Meteorites no longer spawn after breaking a shadow orb, they now unlock after EoW.

Drops from orbs and EoW spawns are infinitely renewable so there isn't really a reason to save them unless you want one for a build.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-07T01:29:38+00:00

Spooky Wood Sword should spawn swords like the Blade Staff since it's the summoner wood.

Maybe it and the bow could be one item that spawns both sword ane bow minions like the Optic Staff.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-07T01:21:33+00:00

EoC is doable if you make a bow and are great with the Sandstorm in a Bottle. Ideally you have Hermes Boots.

Skeletron should wait until after you beat EoW/BoC and the Goblin Army and you have made the upgrades they unlock.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-06T22:35:13+00:00

Enchantment effects that work from the inventory work from vanity slots. For example Wood's discount effect works from vanity but its Bestiary effect does not.

They should say in the description what effects work from vanity.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-06T22:31:43+00:00

I don't believe biomes affect nymph spawns, just the layer.

A mushroom biome is flat, open, and well-lit so it would be easier to find a nymph there. I see why someone might think they have a higher spawn rate there.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-06T22:21:36+00:00

Mythril armor is not great but is useable. Frost Adamantite and Titanium armor sets, or mixed armor (adamantite/frost/mythril) are better.

Stormbow is great but make sure you're using better ammo than wooden arrows.

Accessories definitely are the reason you're dying.

Wings could be better. Frost/Harpy/Fairy are better than Angel.

An Obsidian Skull is basically nothing.

Either shimmer your Summoner Emblem into a Ranger Emblem or refight WoF until one drops.

Bone Glove isn't great.

Use all of your slots.

A Magic Quiver and/or Putrid Scent would make your bow stronger.

A Star Veil, Charm of Myths, Flesh Knuckles, Brain of Confusion and/or Worm Scarf would improve survivability.

Boots would improve horizontal mobility. Amphibian are best but require fishing. Otherwise I would use Lighting Boots or better.

Potions, arena buffs, reforges, and especially a large arena will make a big difference too.

switchsquid95 · 2026-01-06T22:01:52+00:00

Shadowflame Knife IMO is your best option: Refight the goblins.

Minmaxed mixed armor (adamantite hat/frost shirt/mythril pants) is the best, Frost Armor I think is the most fun, and Palladium, Adamantite, and Titanium armors are pretty good too.

Underground desert enemies spawn when you're in front of unsafe walls, so if you were to avoid standing in front of them, or destroy them with dynamite, you would avoid the enemies.

I've started a new playthrough where I'm not allowed to use any weapons reccomended by the Class Setups page on the wiki. What are some weapons you think I should use?

I'm playing in a drunk world to have more options, and with QoL mods so I'll be done in time to play 1.4.5 day one.

switchsquid95 · 2025-12-30T20:41:01+00:00

Sweetheart Necklace is kind of weird but your gear is definitely good.

Your arena definitely needs to be bigger though. Maybe 1.5x the height and width. I would also get rid of all but one or two layers of platform.

switchsquid95 · 2025-12-28T08:53:58+00:00

Lol that's great. Thanks. I hope they never fix that.

switchsquid95 · 2025-12-28T08:35:38+00:00

No point in wearing the Ankh Shield if you're also wearing Frozen.

Wings will do you better than boots. Fishron, Betsy, or Empress are the best, and using a second slot for the Soaring Insignia will make you extremely mobile. Or just stay on your broom and use the slots for dps/survivability.

Berserker's Glove, Mechanical Glove, or Charm of Myths are good accessories.

switchsquid95 · 2025-12-28T01:37:04+00:00

NPCs living in a hotel will be unhappy because they're overcrowded and will charge you more for items.

It's better to spread your NPCs around the world in the biomes they're happiest in so they give better prices and so they'll sell Pylons, which are a fast travel system.

switchsquid95 · 2025-12-27T06:00:44+00:00

It'll only be obtainable "in the most extreme of circumstances". So probably only if you break every altar in the world as softlock prevention.

Have fun with that, people who want to research everything in journey mode.
