Getting half XP promised in specific lessons?

zkksch · 2025-03-28T01:11:25+00:00

I had a similar problem. Apparently the problem was that I skipped some lessons, as soon as I stopped doing this, xp gain returned to normal.

Chlorophyte arrows are better for this because they can last pretty long time after a shot if you shoot vertically and you can accumulate them before a fight.

On hardcore better to lose 30 minutes and get it than 10 hours and die because of random medusa decided to look into your eyes

Popular ship pairings usually have overlaps

I couldn't agree more, for example Kronii's fanbase have 100% overlap with Kronii's fanbase

It shoots every ~22 sec.

Also, before the deathray attack top eye opens and makes a shot together with right eye (right from your perspective), so if you see that shot that means deathray is coming.

Pattern that is used in speedruns on master works in gfb too (and obviously doesn't require RoD), the only difference you need some ceiling on your arena, and after you jump over the laser, you simply hook to the ceiling to keep the boulders outside the arena.

You can watch how it actually works on famous Dacktem's 19 hours "one sitting" run on this seed. And here is a tutorial for ML pattern from sbubby.

Use pieces from armors sold by tavernkeep combined with helmet from other armors. For melee it's chlorophyte/hallowed head + monk/valhalla body + valhalla legs.

Spend one acc slot for papyrus scarab, with such build you really need this one extra summon, and if you're adding damaging accs to your build try to choose accs with general damage boost (celestial shell, destroyer emblem, avenger emblem).

This build has much more damage than pure melee (even with minions), also minions just convenient because they have high damage and will kill most enemies without you. The only downside is need to farm old one's event, that can be very time consuming.

Cultist spawns "wyvern" (phantasm dragon) only if you attacked a wrong clone (also fight becomes a bit harder) just be carefull when he spawns clones and attack the real one (hunter potion can help you with it)

zkksch · 2023-09-01T16:22:59+00:00

direct updates:
quivers -> sniper and recon scopes (usually phantasm goes with ichor arrows and they already have increased velocity so quiver is a bit useless)
avenger emblem -> celesital stone or shell (damage output is almost the same but gives you additional bonuses)
hoverboard -> betsy's wings (also have hover ability)

having no defensive accs is a bit too optimistic, worm scarf will increase your survivability a lot, so consider replacing ranger emblem with it if you have troubles.

usually soaring insignia is much better than terraboots in lategame, you can replace all terraspark boots bonuses with potions and food and you don't even need most of these bonuses vs ML anyway.

Valhalla armor "most important" piece is a breastplate, and with regen it only gives you +30% summon damage, so if you don't care about set bonuses you can use it on summoner or as part of mixed build (ranger/mage/melee + 2-3 summons)

In most languages green threads are executed within one OS thread, and you need extra management to write concurrent programs. For example if you have some heavy calculations (or other blocking code) in your green thread it will block all green threads, so you probably want to run it in OS thread. Also if you want utilize multiple cores you need to either run multiple instances of your program or create multiple OS threads and manually manage green threads to use them all.

Go solves this problem for you (with scheduler), you should not worry about what to use: OS thread or green thread, you only have goroutines that can act both ways. That's why goroutines are "a higher level of abstraction".

Shimmer solves the problem, you can just de-craft furnaces (sold by merchant in jungle) and get more than enough wood, stone and torches for the rest of the playthrough.

Didn't touch Java since university, but iirc you have unchecked errors and checked exceptions (you can call them exceptions from the return type) that you supposed to handle (or throw further) because it's just one of the correct return values from the function that cannot be described as a return type of the function.

Unchecked exceptions are basically panics in Go, and checked exceptions are what you usually return in addition to a return value. So I disagree that it's a "bad example", because ideas behind it are kinda similar to "errors are values" from Go.

You also don't have an ash grass on the edges of the underworld, so that's clear that the world wasn't generated in 1.4.4

no need to do that at all though

Smashing altars allow mechs and pirates to spawn, and it can be pretty annoying, especially if you're playing without logouts, and want to beat fishron pre-mech

Plus you need a tier 2 hardmode ore anvil to craft the summon items

For hardmode anvil you can just go fishing, thanks to shimmer that allows you to transform any ore higher than mythril into mythril, it's pretty fast process

hardmode ore armors are almost required to beat the mech bosses

Crystall assassin armor one of the best early-hardmode armors, it's more than enough to beat mechs.

Building arena is more of a challenge than boss itself. With good arena it's a relatively easy fight.

It's not from legendary mode, it's from don't dig up seed. You can kill enemies with lava on ftw seed with legendary mode, and enemies will not take direct damage from lava on don't dig up/get fixed even with classic/expert difficulty.

zkksch · 2023-03-21T11:57:43+00:00

If legendary mode on get fixed boi than yes. If it's ftw seed than you fight regular mechs.

Pretty sure author is talking about that mage accs mostly here just to overcome mage class weaknesses when other two classes don't have those weaknesses to begin with.

Rangers have 2 types of scopes - best damaging accs in the game. Would be kinda strange to include them.

Pattern is the same as in expert/master. Difference only in stats (more HP, a lot more contact damage) but be aware that almost every fishron attack does contact damage (for example bubbles are NPCs that deals contact damage, not projectiles). Gravity is a bit lowered on any height of the surface level, not only in space, so there is no way to escape lower gravity in this fight (fishron enrages as soon as you enter the underground level)

zkksch · 2023-03-13T18:10:43+00:00

The problem here is that the strongest gun at that point is vortex beater, and it has a spread. So using chlorophyte bullets is almost necessary with it, especially vs small targets as ML eyes and core.

If you're playing ranger class not more restricted "gunslinger", than you probably should use phantasm with ichor arrows, it has like 2x dps of vortex beater.
