How wide is hellvator

@@Malx-Gaming world evil can't travel over 4 blocks so, 4 blocks

@@kikitapika9565 oh ok tysm

A jellyfish farm is kinda useless if you have max fishing power, you can just buy torches or lightsticks from the merchant. A good thing to do as well is make a 4-block-wide tunnel that divides your entire world into two horizontally, I recommend doing two of those (one above the jungle temple and another below). It takes a lot of time if you dont have mining gear and accessories, so you might want to skip it if you find it too time consuming. You can easily get stone if you build up a gemtree farm, so no need to waste money with planter boxes to use as platforms. I recommend doing amber since it is a material to craft fishing potion (I guess), and also, if you have fossil armor, you can get infinite sand and make amber glass walls to sell, they go for quite a nice amount and it is basically an infinite money farm, tho most part of it you'll be afk since it takes some time to get that many sand blocks (theres a video of it, you can check it if you're interested). If you're going as a mage, it is also good to flat out a wide part of your dungeon to make it easier to farm mobs for ectoplasm when you defeat Plantera. It is crucial that you protect your jungle from corruption, crimson, or hallow, since you need it to fight Plantera later on, so isolate your jungle by making a hellevator in each side of the biome and a tunnel below connecting the two just in case. Having max fishing power is troublesome but very rewarding when it comes to an easy way to get platinum coins by opening crates and selling its items to the merchant, it is one of the things I prioritize the most. A sky bridge is great to farm falling stars if you ever want to use the star weapon, but other than that it is pretty useless until Moon Lord (when you replace the blocks to asfalt for more movement speed), so it is better to just build a teleporter hub. If you ever, and I MEAN IT, ever find a imp statue, do NOT throw it away as it will save you a lot of time if you want to farm for an obsidian rose for terraspark boots. As in regard of statues, the heart statue is also pretty useful as it can give you free health during boss fights, I mostly use it for Duke since I like to do him pre-merch bosses if I'm a mage or summoner. This one I forgot, but if you fight the wall of flesh on the jungle side you might have a chance of the corruption to spread to that side, if you do it on the other side it might be hallow. Either is bad but hallow is better since it doesnt have too many dangerous mobs like the corruption or crimson. Making sure to have different loadouts is also nice, I like to go with the following: First Loadout (Class that I'm going with), Second Loadout (Fishing), Third Loadout (Mining). This is basically preference, so no need to take it seriously.

*bast

I know bro didn’t just call it the cat statue

What?

Cat statue

I mean it is a cat goddess I dont see why you guys have to complain about them calling it a cat statue

😂

How do you even get the teleporters in pre-hard mode??

No way I actually didn’t know that, I thought they removed them for some reason

Thanks very much. I’ve been very discouraged recently with Terraria due to its vast content😅 I played it when I was a kid but friends helped me cheat by giving me OP loot right away. Now, with my first true, solo and large world on classic. I’ve beat the eye, the brain and the goblin army and am in full crimson set. Meteor didn’t help much as I’m not mage but I got a superior phaseblade. I also have a fresh hellevator and am preparing to harvest the underworlds loot. Yeah though, to me this a lot of progress but I know I’ve literally barely scratched the tip of the iceberg and this is already with over 24 hours gameplay on this world and with this character. Videos like these haven’t been helping me much either and I don’t know why!

​@@absolutfeen8463pro tip, press space to jump.

Does it not spread anymore????

@@jestlijanai3986 oh it still does. But in 1.4.4, if the jungle gets corrupted it can be reverted with clentaminator where before the update it wouldn’t. Additionally breaking demon altars will not create corruption/crimson anymore :)

@@devinplaysstuff2618 bruh cleaning up corruption and hallow has been a thing since before 1.4. Tf you on about?

In prehardmode

i recommend just digging tunnels around your important biomes because sunflowers wont do nothing in hardmode

⁠@@heroisbanned2even then that probably won’t do much. I bombed a way to hell on both sides of my one and only corruption biome in my medium world, and it still jumped the gap and and infected sky islands

@@samuraijokester9907depends because smashing altars spawns corruption blocks in random areas no matter how big the gaps are so that’s most likely what happened

Breaking altars do not spawn ebonstone or cromstone anymore

But are they better than worms ?

@@zakblaze7634 I mean buggies and sluggies are, but night crawlers are better than all of em. Still more plentiful than worms if you have a jungle farm built

Oh ok thanks ill have to remember that

Remember that the devs hinted that life fruits will get a new use in the next update so that’s also another reason

those three sound like cartoon characters ahahahaha

It's post-mech

That new etheream block made from pouring water on shimmer also makes the player faster but idk if it is faster than asphalt

easy with spelunker potion

That's exactly how my run is. I noticed some of my NPCs were gone all the sudden, and it turns out that the crimson had spread too close to spawn and made my buildings unusable.

This is what makes Terraria memorable though. If you optimize all the fun/chaos/challenge out of the game you may as well just play on creative mode or whatever it’s called.

​@jamesbrincefield9879 not really. Seeing your hardwork in optimizating stuff pay off is fun af and isn't the same as journey mod at all. It does of course pay off in the end

spelunker potion is actually one of my favorites. at the start of your run, dig quite a bit of sand to make glass to make bottles to make bottled water. you could do it on a separate world to remain *your* desert's prettiness. the first few platinum/gold ore you find you should use for the potion, since they will then make it much easier to find more ores of *any* type. moonglow you can find in the jungle kinda frequently, and you will likely get some seeds. you can buy planter boxes from Dryad (any type works for any plant) plant all of the moonglow that you now have. they bloom *at night* (which starts at 7:30 PM and ends at 4:30 AM), that's when you can collect them if you found Staff of Regrowth while in the jungle, great! that's going to be super useful for plant farming. blinkroot is harder to find at first, but once you do you'll have the most out of that plant specifically, because it blooms "randomly" you can find seed bags in brown chests on the surface level. you can even go through some worlds and collect that type of easy loot before you start. in the seed boxes, you'll get all types of seeds actually, so if you got moonglow seeds like that, you don't even need to go to the jungle! this way you will have a bunch of ingredients for the Spelunker potion, as well as many other potions

I think underground dessert is the best by spawn rate, but jungle is still better than the normal biome.

@@Silverhand404 it also requires finding shimmer to craft cursed walls and changes the enemies that spawn. Jungle grass will always allow the original biomes mobs to spawn while also increasing the spawn rate

Wasn't sure but i kinda knew this, never had as many npcs on my screen as when i was tryna build my plantera arena. Would barely get 5 platforms down a minute bc theres always 3 ir 4 hornets shooting at you lmao

What if your a masochist or just really good at the game?

@@metal_pipe9764 Idk but that's just for convenience.

Also if you already have afk farm on other biomes u can just get the dungeon brick walls and put it in the shimmer so it will be cursed dungeon wall(which enemies will spawn to) and put it on your existing farm alongside recommended amount of dungeon blocks to trigger the dungeon farm

​@@metal_pipe9764or a summoner Nvm you alr daid masochist

Imagine having to BUILD an afk farm This post was was made by the summoner gang

😂😂

Tru

Yeah man

He doesn’t. I know a LOT more RU-vidrs that sound like AI.

@@Gatorboy5678 source: trust me bro

Ignore all of it and go to hardmode anyway this is unecessary

Mods are also a thing to make things easier

@@interesting3981 no. do not get people to use mods on their first playthrough

Bro thats so smart wtf

The title says "what" not "how"

I actually used rails, makes travelling a lot faster

I for one don't. Planters are more costly. Also, without planted herb-seeds they exclusively grow those flowers/weeds, which (while pretty) could potentially interfere with quality visibility at times (due to the chaotic contrast of colors & shapes) and that's not something I'd like during a boss fight. Plus, with as many platforms as I use for arenas... there's no way in a million years that I'd ever genuinely Need or actually Use that many herbs, though I suppose it might look nice to just use excess seeds of a single type for the hell of it, lol.

It doesn't matter what seeds you plant in the planter boxes since the boxes are just for aesthetic. Also I think some herbs can only grow in their respective biome like the deathweed

@@PringleMr. Well, the planters aren't Just for aesthetic. The boxes themselves act as a grassy-dirt/stone/ash/snow/sand block that behaves like a stationary platform. But you would be correct if you meant to say that the Different Types of Planters themselves don't matter for anything except aesthetic (as each type of seed can still be planted in All Varieties of Planters). Also you're incorrect about herbs Only growing in their respective biomes. Every single herb can grow Just About Anywhere, IF using a planter-box. It's just that certain herbs like Deathweed, Fireblossom, and Shiverthorn will Bloom more often IF near corrupt/crimson, lava, and snow/ice respectively. But outside of those biomes & away from those blocks, Deathweed will bloom during the Night of a Full Moon (and during a Blood Moon), and Fireblossom will bloom during the hours of Dusk/Sundown on most days, and Shiverthorn will bloom randomly & intermittently (If I recall).

@@TechySeven I didn't know that, thanks for the information

are u good at it yet

Yea I've actually made great progress in my own skills I think. Tho my building skills need more work

@@reddeadchris1250 yo i play pc if ur down to play idk if ur still on phone but im currently beating a master mode world this is how friendships start right

@@revolvers34 dude tat sounds awesome I'll definitely play. I have it on android mobile and on my laptop now lol

@@revolvers34 and that was infact, how a friendship started

relatable relatable as heck

I'm on my first play through. I went random evil biome and got crimson. Is the a massive difference between them? I thought just colour and brain of cthulu/EOW?

@@SombreroPharoah The crimson is a little bit more difficult with slightly better stats of the weapons and armour. Also in hardmode you will find a few differences, but apart from that they are similar and don't affect gameplay too much.

im in that boat rn. this video scared me XD

melee or ranger will be the easiest generally

Thats true, i mainly said that tip to stop it from spreading before hard mode, as ive had it take up a large portion of my world by the time i got to the wall of flesh

​@@TerrariaSlime2 sunflowers on both sides are good enough

I will dig a big tunnel on the undergroumd layer of my base so that, if a evil biome spreads in it, I can fix it easely

Always build your base as close to the center of the surface of the world as possible, this will give you time to stop the corruption spread.

No you can buy them from the mechanic as of 1.4.4. They changed it, I know, its confusing.

@@chao-GD Oh , Thanks for letting me know!

Dont need to do any of it

mk10 seed?

Mine too

@@user-mg3dw8lt7u nope, regular seed... i put my cavern village next to one of the enterences... which was the left one leading into the caverns outside the jungle while the right side had the underground jungle, and a granite cave

Fr lol

its cracking me up 😭
