EVERY Item That Gives a Permanent Buff In Terraria

[@cursedmailman3999]

The pearl doesn't increase it by 0.03% it increases it by 0.03 and that is actually a pretty damn good boost for being always active in terms of luck

Good point, I glossed over the fact that it's not percentage based when looking up how luck worked

[@carl00710]

@@swyte luck is a value from 0 to 1. To make it easier to understand, just do ×100 and put the % symbol. As example, the Galaxy Pearl increase luck by 0.03, that is basically 3% luck.

swyte: "torch god" captions: "TORTURE GOD" ah yes, my favorite terraria event

[@swyte]

lmfao, the captions are a scary place

[@galaxycamerata]

Torch God's Favor is one of the best ways ive seen a developer bounce back from a bad rebalancing take. Originally, it was made so torches in a non-matched biome actively subtracted luck rather than just not adding any because the view was that it was objecticely incorrect. This objectively pissed off a lot of people and just felt like a petty way of punishing players for not playing this sandbox game the correct way, so it ended up getting changed to a reward for using matched torches instead of a penalty for non-matched ones.

[@Teacup44]

also the way the event is triggered is a troll to people who rioted by spamming the "wrong" torch in a biome

[@shadydaemon4178]

I discovered this event probably by pure accident one time, when I placed too many torches in an area, I noticed something happening and I was utterly confused. Then I started to get torches with biome placements. I think that’s what happened. lol

[@raiisleep]

bro heard the world objectively for the first time

[@WhiteWolf-lm7gj]

I think it also pissed people off because old players automatically had terrible luck everywhere, because they had placed regular torches in every biome as that was all they had access to pre-update

[@nightsong81]

Might be common knowledge to Terraria buffs (no pun intended). But I appreciate how comprehensive this guide is.

Yeah I expect most people to know about the stuff in this one because a lot of it is fairly obvious and easy to find if you research anything about buff items, but there's always a thing or two that you miss!

[@purplehaze2358]

Life crystals are probably the best items in the entire game, for more reasons than just increasing maximum health. Without life crystals, the player can't gain access to the nurse, one of the best NPCs in the entire game. Without life crystals, you can't gain access to goblin armies, which by extension means no accessory combinations and no reforging.

[@swyte]

Pretty sure you can still get access to the goblin army by making the summon by killing goblin scouts, no? But these are good points. Even just baseline because of increasing maximum health I would say that life crystals are one of the best items in the game. It's so hard to do anything in a casual way until you have them lol

It's a rare drop from opening oysters you can get from fishing in a desert biome, you can use it for the galaxy pearl or to craft a major luck potion, which similarly to the pearl gives you a luck bonus. However, and I cannot stress this enough, it is NOT worth it, because some fiend at re-logic made it less than a 1/100 drop, from oysters you'll only be fishing up like 1/3 of the time, for a near imperceptible boost to a near imperceptible mechanic.
