@carterw1073 I was playing a different game, and was focusing on a rare weapon. Long story short, you had to fish up 3 drops from around the map, each 1/50. I was taking a while to get the first part, but on the last fish before i left, i got the first part. I then went on to get the other 2 parts in about 7 minutes. 98% of gamblers quit before they win big

[@hosespider]

Something to note about throwing coins i the shimmer: The max coin you can have is 0.2 from 1 platinum, which will last for 3 minutes and 51 seconds. Throwing more coins won't increase the timer, but just restart it just like potion buffs So instead of waiting for a lantern night you can throw a platinum coin for almost 4 minutes of max luck, kinda expensive but consistent and repeteable

[@upscale9109]

[@trevordp]

My first rod of discord was obtained on 1.2 mobile. The old mobile version had a bug where chaos elementals would not spawn in an underground hallowed biome because the hallowed bats/slimes would always spawn and prevent chaos elementals from spawning. You had to place pearlstone in rows and place ebonstone/crimstone under the pearlstone to cancel out the hallowed biome but still allow for chaos elementals to spawn.

Umm all of these luck increasing methods you are speaking of are kind of a waste of time when you can literally go to your shimmer pool in any world and throw in 100 gold coins or One Platinum and be at Max luck for 20 minutes..... I did this and went straight to my hallowed underground and had a rod of discord within 25 minutes. Didn't even have to build a farm or do anything special other than throw a couple coins in the shimmer.....

[@go_master2403]

I built a hallow farm that utilized many thing that helped with farming Chaos Elementals. It used conveyer belts to move the loot down to the player, one way platform hoiks to get the chaos elementals stuck in one place so they can’t run away from the farm, and dart traps to kill them while they’re stuck on the hoik. I got around three rods.

Keep in mind: With a Garden Gnome, the right torch , the galaxy pearl and the accessories, you can boost your luck to 0.53 just about anywhere, which is extremely good for any mob farm you make and any fishing spot you use.... although you really aren't going to get much use out of the accessories for fishing in classic mode, since 5 slots can be used up for fishing accessories alone. A simple and efficient farming setup is invaluable as well, though.

[@autisticclownguy]

Funny story, i made the Rod of Discord farm, runned it for like 2 hours, then gave up. 2 months later or so, my friend (new into terraria) accidentaly got it. Not only that, but he got 4 OF THEM. Idk what's bro's chances.

[@chicomanara]

That pink pearl, thow. I can only stomach farming for one, to get the permanent buff. Last time I tryed, I needed 2 to 3 full game days of fishing to get one. No thanks. About the underground hallow, some things I got to learn, sometimes the hard way. Before 1.4.5, you could afk farm for those, but you needed to to be away from any player placed wall and hooked to something, that would count as you moving, so the chaos elemental could spawn. After 1.4.5, the hook doesn't seam to work, so you need to move around still (idk if minecarts could work). If you are planing to build a farm, a simple layered farm isn't as effective for hallow as it is for the corrupt counterparts. In the wiki you will see that the mob cap on corrupt caverns are way higher than in hallow. That's why clever builders make a smal artificial jungle biome, as that biome is higher and will in fact increase the hallow mob cap. It might be tempting to be lazyer and not caring to making a mini jungle in your farm, but trust me, it will take even forever to get those chaos elementals, even with battle potions and water candles.

[@julienbronsch5039]

1.4.5 isnt out yet, you mean 1.4.4 Also damn I guess the time I usually grind for stuff in videogames would be concerning for you, it took me around 5 ingame days for the pink pearl and more than 5 irl hours for Rod of Discord and neither were overly bad

I went into hallow caves, killed one elemental, got rod, fell of my chair and broke 2 toes. Or almost broke them. Now, I am playing as summoner on master, and I just went into hardmode, and I having got rod from first elemental. But, like, there was only 3 playthroughs where I haven't gotten rod, and I had a lot of them, and got it pretty early, before Plantera. Except for 1.3 playthrough.
