Starbound looks like a very similar idea but done to a much more ambitious scale with a hella more to do! I love Terraria, but people must be
excited about Starbound, right!?

[Archem]

Yes.

[SaiKar]

Ahhh, are you wiking now? Because you're figuring things out with alarming accuracy.

[Prpl_Mage]

I see you finally found the Voodoo Doll's second use. I personally recommend trying to kill the Wall of Flesh a couple more time later on, as it drops pretty good Accessories.

Can't remember even getting one

Cobalt is blue, Mithril is green and Adamantite is red. I suggest keeping at least one Demon Altar, by the way. Preferably close to your home, but it's not a necessity; just convenience.

Thank you, this was really useful. Although I kinda mistake mythril for cobalt a lot of times.
Yeah I kept the one second to closest to me, I kinda smashed the one that was closest because I didn't know it at first. Just wanted to try to hammer it with my new hammer. Then I read the description and went "hmmm". Been trying every hammer and hamaxe I've made on it.

I'm pretty sure you have more Obsidium than required for the Molten set, although there are other stuff you can craft with it.

Yeah, I don't have enough hellstones for that, and I kinda prefered the attack speed from the shadow set. Also, I made an obsidian skull, and then saw that I could merge it with a horseshoe and a shield. Stumbled across the shield in the dingeon and made a no hellstone damae- no knockback accessory. So worth it.

Fiery Sword is good, but it's a tad bit slower, which is why some people prefer Sword of Grass.

Didn't seem to notice that, might've been because I got one of those claw accessories that increases attack speed as well as the shadow set.

the Muramasa is actually found in the dungeon's locked chests. Just keep farming keys and hope for the best. The blade you'll craft with it is still actually pretty good, even for Hard Mode, especially if you get lucky with enchant.

There's also the Cobalt Shield in there that can be really useful, and I recommend trying to get your hands on it.

So the sword always spawn in the dungeon? 'cuz it felt like I had explored the entire place when I decided to move on. Only found some magic missiles and stuff like that, also the shield accessory and two shadow keys.
I am just gonna assume that he cobalt shield is the accessory I found, unless there is another one.

As for Devourer of Worlds, yes, you do need to be in the corruption to summon him, or at least have a decent amount of Ebonstone around. No Orb required, though. But There's no real point killing him now, assuming you've got the Armour set and the Light's Bane.

Feels kinda odd that the ebonstones around the shadow orbs become pearlstones then. And it wasn't as much of me needing the loot. I was just hunting demon altars and saw some unsmashed orbs so I smashed them. The eater of world appeared, it charged me, went straight ahead and didn't come back. Felt pretty bugged.


Also, Got tons of cobalt and made the drill, pretty cool but the sound is annoying. Found several other demon altars closer to the surface when jumping down those holes in corrupted places. Made the cobalt set and kept going into the jungle where I found lots of new ores. But I also get lost in there all the time with those vines haning down and blocking my sight and growing and stuff.
Anyway, got enough to make a mythril anvil and barely made my mythril drill. Then I started hunting for adamantine and kept mistaking copper for it. Eventually found enough to make that neat microwave oven.  And then I made the mythril armor set and a cobalt sword.
Thing is, I have like a stack of 99 cobalt in my box already and it didn't feel like I could use it for much else than gear. Adamantine is still scarce and I prioritized the mythril armor set rather than getting a better sword. Apparently need both for that combined sword anyway so I better make it.

Other than that... I find lots of the new enemies really annoying, like the chaos elementals and stuff. Also, I have no idea what to do now. the guide just tells me about souls in extreme light and dark and other than the new enemies and ores - there's not much change in the world... That I can see at least. And the wizard didn't really add much, Kinda hoped he would.

Oh right, meteors. I've gotten lots of meteors lately and I simply don't need any more meteor ore. Made the set and a beamsword and the hamaxe and the miningpick back then.


And no Sai, still no wiki just reading the few things the game gives me and drawing conclusions. Also wasting a lot of time testing stuff on stuff. I mean, I kept going back to this patch of demonite ore in attempts to mine it until I got the golden pickaxe.
Same with the ebonite, kept going back there and tried it. But ironically you can't mine those untill you've broken the shadow orbs. 'cuz you need the scales for the pickaxe.  Wish the game had been clearer on things though, such as the worlds dangerous change after the wall of flesh, what a demon altar actually look like. I kept thinking it was an enemy. Also a minimap or something would've been nice.

[Cerebus]

Can't remember even getting one

I think the first time you kill it, you receive the Pwnhammer no matter what. After all, would kinda suck not to receive it, as you would never be able to get any new ore. Some pretty neat accessories that increase damage for either range, melee or magic. They may actually be the only worthy accessories, though. I kinda forgot what else drops from him.

Thank you, this was really useful. Although I kinda mistake mythril for cobalt a lot of times.

Yeah, can be confusing at first. You should be fine differentiating them after some time.

Yeah, I don't have enough hellstones for that, and I kinda prefered the attack speed from the shadow set. Also, I made an obsidian skull, and then saw that I could merge it with a horseshoe and a shield. Stumbled across the shield in the dingeon and made a no hellstone damae- no knockback accessory. So worth it.

Yeah, no real point getting it now. It increases your melee attack, though, as well as more defense, so it would have been good if you didn't get the Mithril set. I personally try to get all Armour sets just to decorate, though. And yeah, the Shield is great. The Horseshoe would've been great before you obtained all these other neat accessories.

Didn't seem to notice that, might've been because I got one of those claw accessories that increases attack speed as well as the shadow set.

Probably. It's true that I did switch to both Molten armour and Fiery Sword at the same time, so the speed difference is quite noticeable.

So the sword always spawn in the dungeon? 'cuz it felt like I had explored the entire place when I decided to move on. Only found some magic missiles and stuff like that, also the shield accessory and two shadow keys.
I am just gonna assume that he cobalt shield is the accessory I found, unless there is another one.

Yeah, only in the Dungeon. I'd suggest maybe creating another map if you got real unlucky. However, at this point you may as well just skip it. Mithril blade is pretty good, and you'll soon get the Adamantite one.

Feels kinda odd that the ebonstones around the shadow orbs become pearlstones then. And it wasn't as much of me needing the loot. I was just hunting demon altars and saw some unsmashed orbs so I smashed them. The eater of world appeared, it charged me, went straight ahead and didn't come back. Felt pretty bugged.

Oh, I see. Yeah, Hollow appears randomly. Seems it covered a large part of your Corruption. Must've seemed pretty strange to see him come and go like that indeed.

Anyway, got enough to make a mythril anvil and barely made my mythril drill. Then I started hunting for adamantine and kept mistaking copper for it. Eventually found enough to make that neat microwave oven.  And then I made the mythril armor set and a cobalt sword.
Thing is, I have like a stack of 99 cobalt in my box already and it didn't feel like I could use it for much else than gear. Adamantine is still scarce and I prioritized the mythril armor set rather than getting a better sword. Apparently need both for that combined sword anyway so I better make it.

I'd recommend crafting one of each thing. Can then be crafted into some neat stuff.

Other than that... I find lots of the new enemies really annoying, like the chaos elementals and stuff. Also, I have no idea what to do now. the guide just tells me about souls in extreme light and dark and other than the new enemies and ores - there's not much change in the world... That I can see at least. And the wizard didn't really add much, Kinda hoped he would.

Yeah, they're real annoying, especially if when you're just started in there. The main real changes are Hollows and new enemies. Also worth noting that Corruption now spread at a much faster rate than before. I think Hollow does as well, but I could be wrong. What you need to do now is attempt to obtain the best gear available and defeat the Hard Mode bosses. They need to be summoned with an item, though. And if I recall, you'll need some Souls to craft these items. I'll be honest and say that I forgot which enemies drop which souls, but I know that they're quite uncommon. I'm not too fond of the Mage either. Goblin's the best, if you have a large amount of gold. With luck and a large amount of funds, you'll be able to get the best enchant on each weapons. And tools if you feel like it.

Oh right, meteors. I've gotten lots of meteors lately and I simply don't need any more meteor ore. Made the set and a beamsword and the hamaxe and the miningpick back then.

Aside from tools and the Hard Mode beamswords, Meteor isn't really useful.

You'll see that Hard Mode bosses are pretty difficult. I recommend crafting yourself some buffs and health potions before you attempt any of them. And remember how I said that some statues actually do something? Well, I'll just say that Heart Statues can be extremely useful for these bosses. Alas, they're quite rare, and your World may not even have any in it. You can do fine without any statues, though, but trust me, you'll appreciate anything that can give you some slight help when you attempt to kill them.

[Prpl_Mage]

Yeah I am a hoarder, I got mannequins standing around with all my armour sets that I've previously had or created. Also, tons of chests with at least a stack of each item just in case. Even stuff like stingers that have no purpose whatsoever anymore.

And I wasn't aware that the corruption spread. Although now that you mentions it, the desert area next to it looked kinda pale when I went through it last time. Haven't seen a "topworld" hallow area though, just gonna make the addumption that pearlstones and the pixies are part of that since you mentioned it regarding the eater of worlds. 

Got some souls of light just casually killing the enemies in the jungle and stuff like that. Some of them drop 'em some of them don't. Seems pretty random or is dependent on how far down I go. The ones closer to the lava didn't for example. Also, the small eater of worlds drop some corrupted flame used for stuff.

I got statues alright, but I'm still not sure what they do.
Let's list them:
Anvil x2
pickaxe
sword
spear
bow
shield x2
chest
boots
bomb x2
heart
starx2
mushroom
sunflower
angel
something that kinda looks like a pegasus/dragon, can't remember the name.
imp
slime
hornet
eyeball
crab
corruption

speaking of statues, they and the mannequins are kinda occupying my entire castle. Any smart way to create more space? Don't feel like adding another level of towers to it.

[Archem]

Try going down. Basements are cool.

[Cerebus]

Indeed.

About statues. Chest, Bomb, Heart, Star, Slime and Crab. They all do something. Not sure about the others.
I'll give you a hint: Mechanic. You can try and figure out the rest.
You'll find some use for some of them. You won't for some other.

And yeah, Hollow is the Happy-Looking area that has isn't all that happy.

[Prpl_Mage]

Problem is that it's kinda hollow below my castle, but covered in vines, part of why it looks awesome. But I suppose I could fill it out and make a basement out of it.

Created a new world to generate a new dungeon. Got like 5 cobalt shields, 2 murasame, and some magic missiles. Skeletron wasn't much of a problem with mythril armor. Then there was a bloodmoon and my lasergun kinda killed everything in one hit. Then the eye of chtulu appeared and he got his eye handed to him. Poor thing.
Anyway, noticed that you can't break demon altars at the start of the game. It just damaged me like it did when I tried it with my wooden hammer in my early game.

And add axe, goldfish, bunny and tree statue to that list.

I'm guessing I can tie a lever or switch or pressure plate to those statues then. Just tell me one thing, since I have my fears. Will the statues remain afterwards or do I blow them up?

[Cerebus]

Oh, fear not. I wouldn't call it useful if it was a one-time use. Also, timers.
Add Goldfish and Bunny to the list of statues that do something.

[Prpl_Mage]

So I made a secret cellar that can only be reached by clicking a switch that makes some active stone blocks dissappear. Looks cool.

Also, the dryad person tells me hpw far corruption and hallow has progressed. Is this something I should care about or is it like a shoutout? In relation to that, if I should attempt to "stop the corruption", do I need to purchase purifying powder and just pour it everywhere I go?

Other than that, realized that my pink (dungeon) bricks are the most sturdy material I own. Denies bombs and stuff.  Got enough souls of light to summon the first two bosses, need souls of night for the other two. And even going down into hell didn't net me any. I just kinda assumed that lights would be gathered on the upper layers and night on the lower levels but that didn't work.

Also, gonna make myself a slime crown and see what that slime king got to offer.

[Cerebus]

...the other two? I'm pretty sure there's only 3 Hard Mode bosses.

About the Corruption. Personally... I never cared about it. I just focused on killing bosses and making the best gear. Every time I'd acquire top-tier weapon I,d go to the Goblin and attempt to get the best enchant possible. Some weapons took 2 tries, some costed me way too much...
I suppose it's pretty much up to you to decide if stopping the Corruption is worth the (probably) large amount of time it would require to get rid of, or if you should focus your time on gearing up and stuff.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure you need the Purifying Powder.

I had forgotten about the Slime King. I remember killing it, but I forgot what his loot was.

Oh and yeah, mechanisms are pretty neat when done properly.

[fruckert]

[spoiler=Regarding the Slime King]
He drops ninjas.
[/spoiler]

I can't play this game anymore.
I just want 1.2 to come out :/

[Cerebus]

I really hope 1.2 brings a lots of neat stuff. Like new bosses, gear, etc.

[Prpl_Mage]

...the other two? I'm pretty sure there's only 3 Hard Mode bosses.

Oh, mechanical skull needed both, so I counted it as two.

So basically I can summon the thing with the mechanical eye now, but no souls of night to summon the other two.

Also, ran across some patches of adamantite further down, but it's kinda funny that you need less bars for the armour sets of thee 3 materials. Like 42 for a full adamantite set while you needed like 75 for the silver set and stuff.
