>>155390303
Let it go.

>>155392874
No. This game is too good to just forget about.

Was anybody doing NPC-less challenge? How it went?
And how do you prevent NPC's from getting into your comfy base?

>>155394173

Don't make their homes near your base. Put the NPCs in cages 3 blocks wide.

>>155394453
Guess I will have to do so.
I kinda want to have some sort dungeon crawl experience where I have to manage resources and set up camps underground as I go deeper.

>>155395091
But you'll always have to return to the surface for the events and for fighting bosses.

>>155390303
>>155393365
Damn, some new builds. Neato.

>>155395415
Those have been in the folder for quite some time, though.

>>155395403
Yeah, I know, I don't mean underground challenge, just NPC restriction (maybe except demolitionist, bombs and grenades are hard to come by and fun.

>>155396282
Good luck with that. I hope you don't mind your newly crafted broken [weapon name] because you won't be able to reforge it without the jew.

>>155396416
Such is life, make it into decoration and craft another one.

>>155396713
What about wiring? Won't you need teleporters or stuff that needs wires?

>>155397817
The only time I used wires in my first complete run was for making bomb spawner. I'm more likely to use minecart than teleports, but I decide to use wires, then I will do so, I just want to do dungeon/cavern crawling instead of sitting in town.

>>155398183
When I think about it, maybe I'm just getting excuses to use NPC's, usually it's demolitionist whose stuff I buy.
Guess I will just build a vault and store money there. No NPC is a no NPC after all, kinda sad, because I just got pinky and gold portal on first day.

>>155398631
You can get the flying piggy form the blood moons for extra storage.

>>155399246
For me, that is hands down the best item in the entire game.

It's kind of bullshit how I can't get a Desert Spirit Lamp because my underground desert needs to be corrupted/crimson. There doesn't seem to be anything for people who got hollowed?

>>155400190
I think that's a rather popular opinion, anon.

>>155399246
I would be more worried about getting a net, you need a merchant for it, without it, you can forget about foodstuffs for boost and many potions.

>>155400190
Personally, I'm rather partial to The Grand Design.

>>155400457
>hollowed
Hallowed. As in, holy.

>>155400615
endurance, calming, ammo conservation, heartreach, inferno, lifeforce, love, rage, recall, stink, sumoning, teleportation, warmth, wormhole, wrath

Those are all the potions you need a NPC for. Except for ammo conservation, I don't use any of those. The most important potions are swiftness, the regeneration potions for mana and health and that's about it. Mining potion and shine potions are useful as hell, and they can also be crafted without any NPC.

Git gud you fucking scrub. I bet you overbuff even when you go fishing.

>>155403019
I just went Expert.
Endurance would be helpful.

btw. I got a slime staff on second day, nice. Now doing hobbit-style surface base.

>>155403716
All potions would be helpful, but the most helpful ones are the ones that help you passively and that don't rely on you getting hit.

>>155390303
You use a mod to make that? I thought the Dungeon wasn't destructible.

Also, what happened to that vanilla expert high explosive spawnrate server? It hasn't been up in days, and the anon that posted it has been silent.

>>155405014
Molten+gear can break all dungeon and dungeon related bricks

>>155405014
Dungeon bricks are only impervious to explosives.

>>155405014
It has always been up. Yesterday we had a few problems, but they were solved. People have joined the server today and have dome stuff. One anon was online a couple of hours ago, but he left and the server is now empty.

Dungeon is destructible. Monsters won't spawn if you place walls yourself, but you can break the walls and use them as well as the blocks.

Honestly? I quit. I go play something else.

>>155422638
You play with others. The content isn't fun to grind alone in my opinion, but when you have someone else to play and chat with, the fun goes up tremendously.

>>155428946
I hate multiplayer, though. I hate having to share resources and being forced to play at the same time or else someone is overgeared and then you have to spend time grinding the other person. I just prefer going about things solo.

Maybe it's just how lolsorundom games work, immense fun for not that long. Although problem is Terraria is bigger than just memes, so to deal with it you just wait for Terraria 2 like all the fags here waiting for completely fresh experience but hoping for that mud sounds just as tasty and projectiles look just as festive and dealing with forced biome changes (if there is any) is just as satisfying. "Holy shit, I want do dig out all this violet corruption cancer right the fuck now and replant it as jungle! Manually!"/"Hah, just going to build an underground mine cart path through all the big world map, and clentaminate ANYTHING as hollow, look at them crystals everywhere in a month!".

Brain of Cthulhu's drop is shit tier I'll give you that, but Crimson is just so much more useful throughout a playthough than Corruption is. Once you get the scarf, fish up Ebonkoi and kill a few worms, that's really all it has to offer... all of which you can get super early on.

Corruption offers Vilethorn, which is a central early game weapon for mages, as well as providing some tile-piercing utility for other classes.

Corruption offers the Band of Starpower, which is which is exceptionally useful for early game mages and can become a rage mana item later on, with a mid-stage of faster mana regen that has situational utility depending on the player's tastes.

Corruption offers the Scourge of the Corruptor, which is one of Melee's finest throwing weapons until you hit Moon Lord.

Corruption offers Shadowscale, which looks better than Crimtane and is a better armour for early melee players than Crimtane is due to increased move and swing speed, although admittedly Crimson has the better early game melee weapons.

Corruption offers the Musket, which is just straight up better than the crimson's pistol.

Corruption offers the Toxikarp, an early-hardmode infinite-ammo gun for ranged, while Crimson has the Bladetongue which is just kind of redundant when you can make Flasks of Ichor.

Purple is just nicer than red.

However, Crimson has a less cancerous world gen mechanic, being more centralized with a larger space to work with. Quite nice.

Corruption enemies don't reduce your defence, just set you on fire.

Ichor Stickers are outright snipers, while the vine-types n corruption underground are just slightly annoying.

I enjoy the Crimson boss fight more, but the Corruption expert item is more useful.

They've both got good points.

Well, not specifically, but a lot of zombies gather up over my house, slime takes care of them, I just farmed over gold of money.

>>155486315
A better argument yet. Truly you are on a roll.

Vilethorn is one of the Mage's earliest competent spells. It's multi-hit in the "grinding" way, and tile-piercing which gives it a LOT of utility for stopping monsters in their tracks and dealing with hordes. It retains competency even after you get shit like water bolt, demon scythe, diamond staff, and laser gun, specifically because of its grinding and tile-piercing properties.

The Band of Starpower, when combined with the Band of Regeneration, gives early game mages a way to stave off dependency on mana potions in more stressful situations without having to make a million Mana Regen potions to chug every five minutes, and furthermore the Mana Cuffs and Celestial Cuffs, which provide you something to tinker the Celestial Magnet into before needing to get an Avenger Emblem which, may I remind you, is gated past the whole Mech Trio now.

35KB, 196x77px

I thought they fixed this.

>>155486963
Vilethorn is crap in pretty much every aspect except for its tile piercing capabilities, which are useless once you start using platforms, which you can do form the very beginning of the game. By the time you get the vilethorn, unless you're lucky enough to get it from the first 2 orbs, you will already have a better staff, as you have said, and when combines with the platforms, you can rape everything form the safety of an impenetrable box.

Band of starpower is useless because of the mana regeneration potions, which have such a powerful effect that it is useful and enough up until the end of the game. Not only that, but it also allows you to use one extra accessory slot for other, more useful or qol accessories.

>>155405370
>surrounding your base with a 5-block thick border of Dungeon Brick to prevent Clowns fucking them up
That was truly suffering

>>155487515
>vilethorn is crap
But it really isn't. The Space Gun has a pierce limit, the Diamond Staff can only hit like two things. Hell, I'd say any staff that isn't Diamond is probably shit. Vilethorn might not be your first choice in a direct confrontation once you get access to other, later mage weapons, but it's still incredibly useful for firing off around corners, or as a stalling weapon as it lingers more than anything else at that point in the game except the death scythe which is towards the end of pre-hardmode. It's great for worms, meteor heads, taking out literally everything in the underworld from behind walls so you can safely get a Demon Scythe early, taking out the Eater of Worlds in general...

>Band of starpower is useless
On its own, sure.

>Mana regeneration potions
Those things don't last forever. You're not going to be chugging them every five minutes. Not everyone's gonna have a skybridge to collect stars or a farm for harvesting deathweed. In the early early game, the band of mana regen is an extremely useful stopgap for improving your mana regen rate and, furthermore, the Celestial Cuffs which are made from it are useful even if you DO have a mana regen potion as you can suddenly regain a chunk of mana from taking a hit and grab mana stars further off.

>platforms
What. Platforms have no place in underground mook confrontations m8.

>rape everything from the safety of an impenetrable box
What the fuck are you even talking about?

>>155488762
>The Space Gun has a pierce limit
And a shitton more range, speed and has higher DPS. That makes it ideal for the eater, the eye, the brain and skelly. After skelly you get better weapons, though. Again, if you want to fire from behind walls, use platforms.

For the manag regen band you need both the band of starpower and the band of regeneration in order for it to be useful early-game. Good luck with RNG.

Platforms, motherfucker. Platforms. One-way walls. Put some blocks in a straight line, put platforms next to them and then hammer the platforms until you get stairs. You will then be able to shoot and move through the blocks.

>>155489378
By straight line I mean vertically.

>>155488385
Yeah, one block of grass with trees and sunflowers over huge crust of green dungeon brick.
>then dungeon brick new textures were released some people just nuked their converted bases themselves

>>155489378
>if you want to fire from behind walls, use platforms
And let the bats get me, and the skeletons throw bones at me... I feel like you're missing the point of "walls". Also, if you're delving underground, and a bat is caught on a hook of stone, you vilethorn it, you don't drop down so that it'll get free and start swooping around and just spam shots trying to catch it, giving the skeleton you weren't looking at ample time to bone your ass.

I feel like your argument is based around bosses specifically. Yes, the Space Gun is better for bosses. I won't contest this. But the Vilethorn has a whole world of uses outside of bosses.

>ideal for the Eater
Do you habitually lure Eaters of Worlds up to the surface or something? Because otherwise, it's really not ideal for the Eater unless you want five different worms bombarding you constantly. The Vilethorn can get all of its segments down to a relatively low health and then chain-lock it by repeatedly killing the head over and over. Space Gun can't do that. Either you use the Vilethorn early on, or you go down to kill demons from behind walls to get a Death Scythe and grapple in place to just grind out the Eater of Worlds with lots of Demon Scythes.

>good luck with RNG
There's a lot of shadow orbs. I typically find the Band of Regeneration within my first five underground chests. How the fuck are you playing that this is ever an issue?

>one-way walls
Oh, now this makes a lot more sense to me.

Yeah, no, that's too much preparation for your average mook underground. If we're talking base invasions, then yes, I do that too, but sometimes some people build pits instead depending on how their build works. Even if you're hunting demons in the underworld, I'm not going to hammer out new platforms every time I want to shoot through walls. I might as well just stunlock something in place with Vilethorn.

It's like one of your first two decent early game weapons. Admittedly its utility outlasts its primary weapon status

Oh, how I wish The Spirit Mod didn't turn into another Tremor/Thorium type bloatfest.

Why are there never any medium content mods? They're always either bare minimum tiny or ADD FUCKING EVERYTHING huge.

>>155490461
>one of your first two decent early game weapons
There we fucking go. it's not a "central early game weapon for mages" because there are way better alternatives to it. It's great for some bullshit situations like the ones you mention, where you'd rather stay behind a wall and wait for an enemy to die instead of going in its face and raping it with a weapon that has higher DPS. it's not god's gift to mages in early game, it's a weapon that is good until you find something that's better than it, which is pretty fucking fast.

>>155493387
It has utility, which not a whole lot of other early game mage weapons have.

And yes, it is a "central early game weapon for mages" as its utility allows it to last far beyond the time you first actually get it, and it should be in your hot bar for a decent while specifically for its tile-piercing capabilities.

If this whole argument has seriously been based around some simple wording that you didn't agree with, then, I'm somewhat disappointed.

>>155492974
There should be some alternative for beginner armor that was made with pre-HM ores plus some simple HM material like unicorn horns.

>>155493657
>it should be in your hot bar for a decent while specifically for its tile-piercing capabilities
No, because I'm not a little bitch that likes to stay hidden and wait for an enemy to die when I can go out there and kill it faster with a better weapon. No, it's not central to anything other than your cowardice and your desire to waste time.

>>155493891
I find Vilethorn easier to use than other magic weapons, really. I always use it instead of shit like waterbolt because it has far more crowd control. Pre-dungeon, it's basically the weapon of choice for non-bosses.
Even with Space gun, if I get surrounded the Vilethorn makes it way easier to deal with.

>>155493891
It's not like I do that for every single enemy, but there are lots of situations that crop up where it may be advantageous to choose the better part of valor and not be a fucking idiot and just jump into a bunch of ice bats and spiked slimes and vikings and come out with only 30 health so the next bat that zips out of a dark hole while you're focusing on something else will rip you a new asshole, and instead pick them off if you can through walls so you're actually prepared for such situations.

>>155495374
