A small tip for those wanting to add gold critters to your duplication menu in journey mode: catch one, and put it in a bottle or terrarium, then research the one of those it takes to unlock duplication. Then go to your local shimmer pool and toss in a few of those terrariums. It will give you an empty terrarium and the gold critter every time

The Universal Pylon is incredibly useful for travel IMHO. We could use some more Pylons in the base game (Space Pylon and Hell Pylon may be great in particular).

[@Masque1419]

@@helm36 actually not useless because if you have specific pylons for Hell and Space, you can place the pylons you would’ve used there in other places. Just means more fast-travel spots.

[@cry_out078]

I remember my friend somehow didn't know that leaf and wood wands could be found in living trees, so he made worlds just to shake all the trees. He ended up with 2 eucalyptus saps.

[@charKT-7461]

I'd say the Rune Wizard banner is the rarest item in the game. This is because, unlike the golden critters or the eucalyptus sap, it cannot be obtained by luck. It is entirely possible to find a golden seahorse the very first time you visit the ocean in a world, just like how it's possible to find the eucalyptus sap on the first tree you shake. But getting the Rune Wizard banner requires defeating fifty of, arguably, the rarest enemy in the game EDIT: Since 1.4.4, kills needed for banners are adjusted to fit enemy rarity. As such, you no longer have to kill 50 Rune Wizards for the banner, but just 10 instead

[@cardboard._]

That’s why you like terraria better? Are you sure that’s all? Not also because… 1. Torch is lit in hand while holding it 2. Recognizable progression 3. Wings 4. lighted torches while holding them 5. Community isn’t full to the brim of children and predators 6. Grappling hooks 7. Guns 8. Bow variants 9. You can hold lighted torches 10. Chest loot 11. Dying doesn’t ruin your day 12. Cross world transportation (characters aren’t tied to a world) 13. Ease of demolition mining 14. Torches are lit in hand 15. Enemy variants 16. Boss progression 17. Different weapon classes 18. Weapon variations even within a single class 19. Better shop system 20. NPC dialogue 21. The torch is lit in your hands while holding it 22. More paintings 23. Statues 24. Intuitive wiring mechanics 25. Wiring is clean and doesn’t interrupt builds 26. Going to the underworld is intuitive and doesn’t require an arbitrary portal that would require an out of game research to build 27. The guide negates the need to look stuff up. 28. The best enchantment (mending) is prebuilt in every item. 29. You can light up caves with a torch being held in hand 30. It’s a good survival game (Minecraft is a good creative game, but it’s a really bland survival game) 31. Speed buffing equipment 32. It doesn’t sound like a 2 year old named it 33. Immediate smelting 34. Cheaper game 35. More time spent in game to get every achievement (more engagement) 36. Damage, speed, and projectile balancing (more damage doesn’t always mean better weapon so we have freedom to mix and match) 37. Set bonuses 38. Vanity items 39. You can hold lighted torches 40. Torch and light source variety 41. Glow sticks 42. I can still learn of new mobs and items and such 43. Soundtrack (it’s better, or you’re the reason that modern radio sucks) 44. Holiday events 45.potions brew instantly 46. Bigger inventory 47. Ammo and coin slots 48. Shift key function 49. Trash slot 50. Torches are lit even while you’re holding them 51. Mounts 52. Your pet doesn’t die 53. “Enable PvP” 54. Clentaminator 55. Community items (such as chippy’s couch) 56. Emeralds can make something useful 57. In hand lighted torches 58. Summons 59. Light pets (though you don’t need them because torches can be carried while lighting the way) 60. Character creation 61. No hunger bar (it’s hard enough to stay fed IRL. I ain’t need a game for that) 62. Easier to not waste time mining into veins you’re sick of (we’ve all been sick of mining that one coal vein in Minecraft that just seemingly never ends) 63. Pain sound effect variety (male and female) 64. Block stack limits make sense 65. Torches work while you’re holding them and when you set them down. 66. Bombs don’t eat ore when demolition mining 67. Terrariums 68. Lava charm 69. Increase max health 70. Boss fighting incentive 71. My gf doesn’t split my screen literally every time I play 72. Mods’ ease of access 73. No mod required to hold lighted torch (it would be easy to download such a mod anyways given the steam workshop) 74. Only 1 edition on pc (no segregation) 75. Women and people of color represented in game(jk, imagine caring? Lol, I feel bad for those kinds of people who do) 76. Teleportation (more of it, and it doesn’t have to hurt you) 77. Less demanding on hardware 78. Hot bar locking, torch god options, mechanical lense, etc. 79. Gold is useful 80. Can’t spam friend’s screen with a bed. 81. Better map 82.

[@zacharywilt4456]

I remember grinding for these things... That was painful. A tip for getting the gold seahorse: stay at the world border at an ocean and use a life drain to kill non-gold seahorses. Being at the world's edge (and making the camera no longer follow the player) lets you see thigs spawn on-screen.

[@rickrose6881]

Another thing that helped me, after some experimenting, is that they seem to have a depth limit. As far as I could tell, if the ocean gets too deep, they didn't spawn. Could be wrong, but that was my experience. Bringing the seabed up meant they were spawning for me across the ocean, and not just near the shore. Then I... set up a teleporter system. No seahorses? jump on a teleporter at the edge of the map, warp back to just out of sight of the ocean, run across the surface with any set of water walking footwear, repeat. That's what did it for me.

on a random terraria run i was doing during a flight and layover, i got the eucalyptus sap and was like “eh this is cool ig” and then used it for a while before trashing it cus i thought it wasn’t rare. Only now am i realizing the rarity..

[@civillem3196]

“Most players didn’t even know the seahorse existed.” I didn’t even know a water strider was a thing

[@martinhorner642]

Glow Tulip should be in there somewhere. I didn't even know it existed until I found one the other day tearing a small world apart to find shimmer. And The Dirtiest Block.

[@TeleClassy2]

i got the eucalyptus sap on one of the first trees i cut down in my game. i just started playing terraria again after many many years, and i had no clue what it did. good to know where my rng is sitting because i got that as my 3rd item, after wood and acorns

[@anon0453]

i actually have seen a golden seahorse one in my playthrough lol, at the tme i thought, "oh cool, a golden critter" like it had the same spawn rarity as the others lmao

[@elfishboot5025]

Something that irks me, is on one of the VERY first trees I ever shook on the day 1.4 released, I got the eucalyptus sap, only for my game to close without saving and I’ve never seen it since.

[@chaossuper7042]

Me and my friend started a world and both got the sap within 10-ish minutes, then proceeded to have never seen the item in any of our subsequent worlds.

[@kujoangel]

the fact that I accidentaly go the Eucalyptus sap in my multiplayer world while going to mine cobblestone is so incredible

[@sramalareggin6130]

Just got a golden water strider after multiple days of farming with all possible buffs. These things are RARE! I GOT A GOLD SEAHORSE!!! I’ve discovered a way to farm them after testing I found some spawn conditions. They spawn when it’s raining (more seemed to spawn at night) and only showed to spawn in shallow water.

[@jirachi-m5u]

I remember in one of my first playthroughs, I shook a tree and got the eucalyptus sap first try. I didn’t really care about it back then

[@crud5237]

I remember getting the eucalyptus sap from a tree in my journey mode world and I was just like “is that blood?!”

[@mystic9847]

I got the sugar glider back to back playthroughs. One as Ranger, another as mage. First tree I shook had one. Both times.

[@viktorradevic1299]

I remember one time I was playing calamity, the FIRST tree I chopped down dropped the eucalyptus sap. I didnt know it was THAT rare

[@koidotjpeg9944]

I got the Eucalyptus drop on one of my first trees when we booted up the game to try out the update... I had no idea it was even rare lmao

[@phoenixaasted]

One of the enemies required for the universal pylon is only findable after letting a Phantasm Dragon still live in master mode and destroying the clone of the lunatic cultist

[@pwansa]

0:25 Literally got that on my like 6th tree on a mage play through recently

[@FriendOfHatkid]

I guessed right all except for seahorse. And yes. I didnt knew there is seahorse. For me, I only could have thought that this thing was added by calamity or the stars above mod.

[@sanga1380]

Now it’s the most expensive piece of food you will ever make. Using every golden critter

[@thepiggyassassin]

im surprised the dirtiest dirt wasnt on this list. although i guess it does make sense since your world is guaranteed between 3-9 youd just have to go through mining up your entire world till you find one.

[@kakdasfiksterre]

I found the Eucalypt on the first trees i ever beaten on my first ever world, at the time i didn't knew what was a pet, i knew about SUMMONS so i thought it was one of them. Tried to attack a zombie with it but didn't worked, so i thought "ok maybe is just estetical". One day i sold the Eucalypt. I only found out that it was rare after i joined an italian discord server and watching terraria videos on youtube. Probably i found just one other Eucalypt on my latest run, never sold it.

[@i_garfed_on_the_carpet]

If you need to find the golden sea horse and golden water strider to complete the beastiery wouldn’t that make the universal pylon the rarest item?

[@ThePiplupGuy]

[@netba_art]

water strider's are ridiculously rare in hardmode istg they literally almost do not spawn even with the spawn rate increased and the requirements being adjusted, so I can only imagine the golden striders. Although yeah, the striders actually do spawn more in prehardmode.

[@RiptidexRiltreks]

I have had the sap drop at least 3-4 times when I hit trees just trying to get fruits, each in individual playthroughs, with me hitting trees to hit them and not chop at least 20-30 times per. Like, for me it has been common enough to warrant selling and replacing with a cooler pet, because I had no concept of its rarity. But now that I know its rarity I can brag to people who never get it. I still don't care all that much for it, as I prefer Chester or Shadow Mimic

[@hal0w_]

I had the sugar glider pet when I started the game. Literally just a few/ 1 hour into the game I got a weird squirrel following. Once I got my “first” pet I just threw it away. I am now stressing that I had one of the rarest drops in terraria, and that I just threw it away

[@Skyeshadow3408]

Seahorse spawns probably have something to do with moonphase, which is why it wouldn't show up on certain days.

[@Solesteam]

I didn't even know there are water striders in Terraria...

[@Solesteam]

I did know about seahorses, I saw one once.

[@andrigonzalez2797]

i remember when i was first playing terraria 1.4, like when it JUST came out, i got the eucalyptus sap and i was like "huh, thats cool"

[@trappist-1e]

what texture pack are you using for the backgrounds? especially at 0:37
