Anybody here beat a world 100% and then did a playthrough with a new character from start to finish?

>>165193118

Expert skelly will still fuck up your shit in full Molten if you don't git gud at dodging. As long as you're competent enough at dodging, you can kill Skeletron with sub-par gear like Space Gun/Bee Bow

Recommended shit: rocket boots, shield of Cthulhu, and anything that gives you extra jumps

>>165196252
Plenty of people, I'd imagine.

>>165163981

>>165200324

>>165203051
Oh, that's what you meant? I'm not sure why you'd do that.

>>165197410
Idk man, myself I've never had any problems with him. I usually beat him with plat/gold armour and a good gun or bow. Only other thing i find necessary is grappling hook.

>>165171363
Thanks, might join later. Comfiest thing I used to do was start a fresh character, and salvage whatever loot I found on other servers and become an inter-dimensional builder.

What, in your opinion, is the best pre-hardmode gear to get your hands on? Modded shit included

>>165208678
Thorium armor for good defense and 10% extra damage, using a material that's easy to find.

Is it time to wrap things up, boys?

>>165220320
What would it take for this general to be liv again? Hell, how did it even come back to life in first place?

>>165220757
Updates are the answers to both those questions.

>>165221060
>Planned features for 1.3.5:
>translations
It's kill. But who knows, maybe a miracle happens and a mod getting a large update brings some life back.

So, which of the 4 endgame armors does /tg/ prefer? I typically go with Solar Flare armor, I love the dash and the shield, plus it looks amazing.

>>165224887
Vortex is my go-to endgame set, I just love stealthing and dealing all crits, all the time.

>>165225019
Vortex is good shit. I've never tried Nebula though, the buffs just don't mean enough outside multiplayer. I can beat Moon Lord in SF armor with barely needing to dodge, but I can't even get halfway in Nebula.

>>165225349
>Moon Lord
Isn't the only thing you need for him is a world-length platform then run from one end to another while shooting him?

>>165221916
red will be working on it, so it's probably not kill or just translations

>>165226441
Technically yes, but the only bosses you can't do that with (at least at first) are Plantera and the Golem, and with endgame weapons you can just stand still and kill them, it's not a real test of the armor.

>>165225349
That's because magic is and always has been the weakest. I prefer summoner tbqh family. Literally max summon + use a magic weapon or two. Lamoing @ magic.

>>165229078
With weapons like Meowmere, Terrarian, Star Wrath, Daybreak and Terra Blade there's no point to magic, no matter how awesome it is to use Last Prism.

JUST

Also, is it a dick-move to ask if my co-op bro wants to re-roll shortly after playing ~100 hours in our current world? Re-roll as in, new character, new build and new world? I'd love to but I've a feeling they'd think me too autistic.

>>165229078
There needs to be more spell variety, not just new ways to shoot at monsters.

>>165229753
Also fix mana efficiency, it's painful.

>>165229714
Hey, at least the most powerful magic weapon isn't annoying as fuck to use, but for top melee damage you have to use meowmere.

>>165229808
Like, I get the portal gun is a reference, but I would have made that a spell. How about a healing spell stronger than any potion? How about buff spells?

>Ranger still don't have a way to attack through walls

>>165229985
Hey, you have to lave magic SOMETHING.

>>165230697
But melee and summoners can attack through walls

>>165231123
I only know of one melee weapon that goes through walls.

>>165231515
The flying dragon and solar eruption

>>165232085
Well, I wouldn't know about flying dragon, I have yet to find the fucking tavern keeper.

Jesus christ I have the Influx Waver, the Flying Dragon, and the Terra Blade.

Which is the better sword in practice?

>>165232803
Terra Blade is pretty awesome, in my experience only Daybreaker (thanks to the DOT), Meowmere (raw damage) and Star Wrath (rate of projectile fire) are better than Terra. Plus after all the crap to get it it feels right to be using it.

>>165232803
Influx waver in my experience so much so that I don't make the Terra blade anymore

I was not prepared for expert mode with a fresh character

Is Expert mode even worth playing? Played it completely once and I question it. You generally speaking get pumped hard and easily, but the little bit of extra drops and coins hardly seems worth it.

>>165235451
Normal mode is too easy

>>165235530
Sometimes Expert mode is a little too far. Sometimes. And that's the only reason I'd play Expert, is the difficulty. Since the extra drops are a joke and minimal. At least in Expert you get showered with coins so you can buy anything at anytime from merchants.

>>165235623
>Sometimes
Yeah the mini-bosses in the Pumpkin/Frost moon are a tad too bulky in Expert Mode and Moon Lord's damage is just a tad too high. Mob scaling in HM is a little silly as well

>>165235451
That depends. If you want a more challenging game with more varied drops, play expert. If you want to explore and build cool stuff, play normal.

What's a quick way to make a new world and force it or see if it has crimson or corruption? I'd like a corruption world next since previously it was crimson.

>>165235968
The loading bar will show which the new world is getting, if the left half is purple, you get corruption. There's no way to force it I know of, besides importing ebonstone from another world and waiting for it to grow.

>>165235968
Look at the colour of the tree when making a new world

>>165235968
Well you could pick corruption when making a new world, You have beaten the WOF right?

>>165236130
I beat the WOF and I don't get that option

Worm Scarf or Star Veil? I'm having trouble deciding between the two. I'm aiming for a ranged build and I want a good defensive item for one of my accessory slots.

I did that it took me about 5 months to finally beat it because the beginning is fucking brutal.

>>165196252
I'd try but the temptation of using the spare mats in my bank would be too much

About finished as magic, going to reroll soon. Ranged or Summoner? Haven't touched summoner (outside of having 1 minion frequently from whatever staff dropped) And I used to play Ranged all of the time but never get sick of it (Ranged for me is just guns/explosives, I don't care for bow/repeater)

>>165237587
Summoner is easy as shit, all you need to do is worry about dodging and let your minions do all the work.

>>165239328
>Summoner is easy as shit
Pure summoner is a pain in the ass though

>>165239497
>>165239328
Yeah, swaying towards summoner since I haven't done it yet. I plan on using other shit with it too--pure summoner gear, but also use a gun and/or something magic. Depending on what drops. Is it actually useful in expert? Well I suppose anything is better than pure magic and I managed with that.

>>165239858
>Is it actually useful in expert?
Once you get a decent summon it becomes viable, pre-hardmode is a little bit of a pain though

>>165235968

Just thought I'd talk about these two mods I've been using in my current Expert playthrough.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/even-more-modifiers.45790/
Adds random modifiers to most equipment you can get, including armor and accessories, which can do quite a few things as listed on that post, also adds these dice to reroll whatever modifiers you got (works on any item that has a [Common] or better tag in its description) that drop often enough from enemies. Might make the game a bit too easy though.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/experience-and-classes.53048/
Adds an accessory-based class system and experience as its name implies, you move from novice to six basic classes and then to 2-3 specializations for each. It's REALLY fucking grindy, but the accessories are powerful enough to make it all worth it and they give you some sense of growth. In any case, you can adjust the experience rate you get anyway.

>>165240529
The option should show up when you make a new world, right after picking normal/expert.
mod to choose which ore variants you want in your world when

>>165240697
It doesn't. Goes straight from the difficulty choice to naming it

>>165240697
Oh, wait figured it out. The modloader adds its own folder with configs and shit in it. Should've realized

Any reliable program that simply lets a new or current world the 3 of 6 Hardmode ores? (Titanium etc)

>>165241356
I have no idea what you meant to say, but try Terracustom.

>>165241515
Yeah re-reading, I missed a word or two.

Basically, a program that lets you choose 3 of the 6 Hardmode ores in advance.

>>165242080
Terracustom

>>165241356
>>165242080
In case everything else fails, you can get imkSushi's mod to be able to exchange ores for their equivalents (cobalt -> palladium and so on) at a tinker's table.

>>165242454
Is there a reason to want to do that? I was under the impression the ores would functionally be pretty much the same.

>>165242569
Different ores make different things.

>>165242569
Not really. Mostly it's the same but armor set bonuses can be radically different.

>>165242569
The alternate ores (tin, lead, tungsten, platinum, palladium, orichalcum and titanium) have generally better stats than the older ones, much more so for the hardmode ones as their armor sets have special effects while the others only give a stat increase.

Having reached endgame status where I can farm anything I want reasonably safely, I find farming for drops to be much more tedious than before. No, I don't NEED these things, but I WANT these things, I think they're cool. I didn't even know the dungeon spawned paladins until after I beat the Moon Lord but now I want that boomerang hammer more than my next fucking breath. Now that I know what an ankh shield is the things I need to make it simply never show up. Now that I know the tavernkeeper is a thing I've started a new world just to farm for him, because the one I had been playing in was large, and searching for him is taking forever and ruining my world with tunnels going every which way as I streak back and forth across the map in the drill mount, so now it's a fresh world, small, I don't care about wrecking it, and I build about twenty houses to make sure I have room by the time I find him.

What's the Thorium mod like? Looks great but very over-whelming.

Are there any other mods to strongly consider trying out?

>>165243368
I wouldn't say it's overwhelming, it's pretty much just an expansion to the base game with a new ore and some miscellaneous gear sets, as well as enemies, bosses and an underwater biome. Everything fits into Terraria's style well enough for me, including the art.

One thing to keep in mind is that it tends to offer quite a few strong things at a low cost, like a great early-game armor set just by killing enemies in a snowy biome, pre-hardmode wings by killing harpies and the best bow in pre-hardmode just by killing the Eye of Cthulhu and a few salamanders, so you might want to be careful if you want to pay attention to balance.

>>165243663
I'll write those down so I can perhaps avoid the overpowered stuff, or try it at a later stage.

I can use Terracustom with it, right? Make a world from it and use Thorium on it? I presume so, just want to check.

>>165243267
Anon, he does not spawn according to the world's dimensions. You have the same chances of finding him in a small world and in a large world.

Just started playing again, never really got into Terraria before but I suddenly had a craving for autistic tower building. What's a good method for making a long up/down elevator? Right now I'm just using ropes but I'd like something automatic if possible.

Guess it's kill again.

Including the surface, so just walk around long enough and he should show up. I think. You also need to have killed the Eye.

>>165338987
Okay new tactic, would it work to rig up a wall of flame traps BEHIND the portals, and string pressure plates under and in front of the portals, so the traps hit the army as it spawns? Maybe stagger the traps so they fire in sequence as they cross the plates, so there's constant flame?

>>165399165
Yes, traps work against them, but put the flame traps in fornt of the portals, so that knockback will knock the monsters... back. If you put them behin dthe portals, the monsters will be pushed towards the crystal.
