I’m so glad you did this. There are many youtubers who have made videos on specific items in the new update but have not talked about the progression and long term effectiveness of them.

I don't know if someone has pointed this out yet but if you craft a bucket and fill it with water, you can use that and a suitable mat to craft a sink. Which acts as an infinite water source.

[@Kjwonensbiai]

wait, sinks give you water? I know I sound stupid but like.. that's so helpful if its true

This is a game I have a 100 hours in and have never figured out how to do a boss on my own. This got me motivated to defeat the wall of flesh for the first time!

[@stompchomp]

Woah

[@Jojojo-pq4ot]

Out of curiosity what have you done in those 100 hours since a lot of stuff is unlocked thru bosses

[@rainiedog]

​@@Jojojo-pq4ot I mean, I spent a good 15 hours just trying to figure out what to do, how to craft, and building. The controls take a moment to get used to due to the size of the blocks as well. 100 hours on one world might be excessive, but using multiple worlds to find one you like or get good gear before corruption spread is totally logical I think. Plus, doing everything you can will take a long time, especially if you don't have the gear for it. Even pre hard mode, the world changes over time, and I think new players will get startled and maybe reset.

[@skeeterboombaty]

Just getting back into Terraria so of course, there is no better place to go than Grobeman. I specifically appreciated the end chapter featuring tips and tricks. VERY helpful for someone like me who is returning but, may be a bit rusty. Can't wait to dig into your boss guides!

[@yourdirge]

Owned for years on 2 consoles & tried to start a couple dozen times now. Every tutorial I’ve ever watched seems to presume fluency in terraria/crafting terminology. This is the best tutorial so far, but I still shut the game off after 30 min or so. I’m not going to stop trying.

[@grobeman]

Keep at it, this game is worth it!

[@mr_sugarcube]

I would give some tips that i use in my legendary playthrough and thing i just noticed 1. Repeatable process of getting up and then dying could consume a lot of time. Pylons could help, but mostly you would place them in underground. But what you actually can do is place them on surface if you build your house in the middle of sky. Also you could 'fight' with corruption/crimson with sunflowers. I have placed like 50 of them to turn down my ocean biome to regular one. Another very important item for this world is magic conch. It gets you to surface layer in blink of eye and close to dungeon and shimmer. You can get it in chests in underground desert or fishing in desert biome 2. Layers. Lower side right above funky mushroom biome is count as surface/underground layer (also i somehow could catch there cavern fish too), and higher places count as cavern. For example if you want flinx fur you need to get higher in show biome. Also seems like every pool counts as ocean (at least in my observations) 3. Fishing in general is way to go imo. Lavacharm, magic conch, potions, ore, different good early weapons - all you could get by fishing. 4. Shimmer is amazing. Literally one of best comfy additions to the game. Little boost items, transformations for ankh shield parts and angler gear - that all make game much comfortable. (Also free higher base damage arrows too) 5. Rod of discord have increased drop rate from 0.2% to 1%. It is still low number but may consider this as an option. 6. Magiluminescence is accessory which I never heard about before playing this seed, but it makes game a little easier in early game. It provides movement boost (which adds to hermes boost) and most important (at least for me) it give you glow. I took a lot of damage by darkness :D. For craft it requires 12 crimtane/demonite bars and 5 topaz.

[@grobeman]

Nice tips! I did eventually mention the magiluminescence in this guide (and even one or two others). Great accessory early on.

[@chloesmith6714]

The light factor i didn't really see much due too the miner set. but the speed and acceleration are a lovely addition to my jump speed/movement accessories and class

Also, one little trick to stop zombies from trying to knock door open at night. Simply dig a pit one block deep and two blocks wide right in front of door and place a solid block right above door (on the outside). Doing this forces the zombies to jump when they reach the edge of the pit and they will then land on the block, turn around, drop down and walk away a short distance before turning back to repeat the process.

[@ICountFrom0]

I've got a tip or two to add. 1. Might (if you are good at converting items into ones that sell well) be faster to buy the anvil. 2. Merchant sells a sickle, if you don't have better, you might buy it. 3. Graveyard, if you've died anyway, you might make one. Summoning item AND the Grave digger shovel are both worth the trouble.

[@grobeman]

True!

[@ICountFrom0]

It does more damage then a copper sword and the only requirement is that you make a house out of wood and have some coins. Nither of those things require you to even enter the mushroom layer. This can be done while you still have only wood from the "safe" island. So it gives you a more powerful weapon with a faster swing speed then you'd normally have at the "wood" stage. It isn't normally worth bothering with, but if you need a small advantage and you already intend to get the shop to get the anvil, well...

[@ICountFrom0]

heh, no problem. I love the little wrinkles in the early game that give variations like this. Sadly I can't get my head around the endgame, never won the final battles.

[@iami3rian394]

My friend, I know you don't exactly take requests, but I think an additional guide is needed. An updated "do this stuff before hard mode" for 1.4x I know it would help me. I need to constantly check a hundred different spots, for example securing a Nazar, a bezoar locating shimmer.... what to DO at the shimmer... how needed is protecting your biomes at this point (i.e. multiple hellevator shafts to stop the spread, especially now that you can break altars with no new blocks), updated weapons and armors to grab (obsidian for example with the spinal tap is STILL a fantastic armor despite the nerf for going into hard mode, assuming you're not playing a specific class.. it pairs so well with Abigail and the (now available) pygmy necklace, and now furniture buffs are permanent (free say, houndius and Abigail upgrade)... Blood moon fishing drops, things to do right after killing the WoF etc. Your last guide on this was pre-1.4, and now with the labor of love as well,I feel like so much has changed. I'm gonna give that video a watch tonight, and I'll drop some thoughts there, but I feel it's like, EXCEPTIONALLY out of date. The importance of the pylon network, fishing for crates has changed, getting BOTH the worm scarf and the brain of confusion upon entering hard mode, heck, even farming the wall for drops, and the underworld enemies has changed pretty drastically. You're like, the go to dude for this kind of thing... your presentation is simple, easy to visualize because of the great visual slides you make, and I mean... don't take this the wrong way, but USUALLY correct. On this particular topic though, I feel like you're old guide is too out of date to be useful. All the changes to weapons availability, usefulness, "wreck the destroyer" a hundred different ways now... how to farm early stuff. I believe most of your other guides still hold up REALLY well, but the hard mode/prep/early hard mode one is so out of date. No pressure, just a suggestion. And ya know, maybe a bit of wishful thinking. 🙃 Still love your stuff. I still reference it all the time, and I love that spamming links to your guides for you 100x the subs you had when I first came across your things. Shame I got banned from the reddit forum, my account was hacked, and the mods are unreasonable. "You photoshopped that picture of the warning that your account was compromised...." Oh? AND the video of me ckickjng through to it come on dude, if I was that good, I wouldn't be banned... "No no, we're positive." Anyway, maybe a future project? Your class stuff, weapons, accessories, blah blah blah, all been updated. The one is like, the most important, and it's still 1.3x just something to think about. I'll post this on that video too, since I don't know how your comment notifications are set up.

[@jdgonzo1982]

This game is so good to play but it can be so infuriating with the enemies constantly being around in large numbers. I think it's the only part of the game I'd change if I could!! You've taught me enough to get going again with a small world. I've just stopped going through a large world (solo) and made it to Hard mode but man, the step up in events and difficulty was a real kick to the balls!! I realised I'd rushed it and gotten there without knowing enough so I've restarted as I'd really like to see late game content. Gonna have a browse through your videos now...been looking for a 100% checklist type video that I can follow as being autistic it can take me twice as long as others to learn all the things I need so...if you know of one please do let me know :) cheers and subbed
