Terraria - Dig, fight, explore, build

I tried to get mine involved ^ (no pun intended), but she was having none of it.

Whenever she catches me on it I just say: "LOOK I made some flowers!" and that distracts her for a few minutes from what she originally intended to come into the room and say - "get off that stupid computer!"
 
Just had a bit of an omfg moment. Summoned eye of cthulu the same moment I got a message 'a dark presence is watching you' which meant I was just about to go against two of the buggers (and with me in gold gear, that meant lots of pain ahead)....


Ended up killing both :P Luckily had lots of shurikens ready for fighting one (something like 260), plenty of healing potions and an enchanted boomerang. Saw me through the fight just fine. Now if only the annoying dryad would spawn, so I can proceed to head into corruption and get meself the EoW.
 
I suppose I need to go into the corruption next and smash some orbs, fight the worm boss and make a nightmare pick before going to the dungeon.

I think the best order to go in would be:

- Did dig dig until you have a full set of gold armor and weapons plus an enchanted boomerang, grappling hook, and optionally a trident.
- Kill eye of Cthulu and make a Lights Bane
- Head to the jungle and collect LOTS of roses
- Make jungle equips
- Head to the corruption and shash some orbs
- Kill EoW
- Make a nightmare pick
- Head to the dungeon, fight the old man, explore get dungeon loot
- Go to hell.

I smashed a load of orbs in the corruption and fought two EoWs.

I got a Vilethorn, 2 muskets, and 3 orbs of light ... The only thing I'm missing is the flail weapon that drops.

I also got 3 meteor crashes from that and fully mined two of them but the last is up on a floaty island :(

Made another house for the other NPC's that were appearing, added some roofs and a new hellevator from the basement of the right house. Although only just noticed that the last house is smaller than the right by 2 blocks, will fix that. Kinda running out of stuff to do now :/ got most of the good items and some of the rarer ones (Sunfury / Whoopie Cushion) and killed all 3 bosses.
 
The order that I did things was

1. Find a cavern that goes deep.
2. Dig for materials, dig through to adjoining cavern.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 until you reach hell for the first time, and die.
4. Repeat 1 and 2 until you have gold armor.
5. Buy dynamite when you can afford, and break orbs (1 or 2)
6. Obtained flail, killed Eye.
7. Kept saving for dynamite, and kept breaking orbs, killing EoW.
8. Mine meteorites.
9. Realise the dryad powder exists and you wasted lots of gold.
10. Keep mining meteorites/EoW until you have good armor.
11. Kill Skeletron.
12. Loot dungeon.
13. Return to hell, mine hellstone even though you don't need it by this point.
14. Be bored.


Steps 1-12 are definitely where the game is most fun.

Agreed on all points, though you missed out the jungle and hunting for floating islands :)
 
I think it's a bit retarded that shadow armour > meteorite armour when you are probably going to kill the EOW before finding a meteor crash spot. There should be better stuff from meteorite. Yeh the space gun is good but not much else

Oh yea, I totally forgot about those.
They will be 13.5 or 15. :p

Jungle was ridiculously hard to find before 1.0.5. I dug to about 1000 feet depth, and went horizontally across the entire map and didn't find it. Turns out mine was deeper than average :(

I agree that shadow armour is 'too good' relative to meteorite armor considering how close you get both, but meteorite is great for the hamaxe. Saves a slot, and was probably my main weapon at that point.
And it's used to make collectable crap like phaseblades and such.
 
Jungle is awesome though, the difficulty is what makes it great. You can manage it with gold armor, Light's Edge, Grappling Hook + Enchanted boomerang, at least enough of it to farm loads of stingers, vines and roses to make some sweet equipment.

The Blade of Roses completely pwns EoW :)

Not really, why would I want to live with someone that didnt appreciate my hobbies? I've never heard anyone say 'Get off that stupid computer', and I wouldnt want to be around anyone that thinks that way.

Oh, you were being serious...? LOL

I actually love my girlfriend more than my computer so I generally try to compromise a little in this respect. Can you empathise with that?

Besides.. she doesn't really tell me to "get off that stupid computer".. she just moans and sulks a little until she gets some attention :p I was exaggerating... I do that occasionally on the internet, apologies.
 
After doing a few chores, if Photoshop has not finished downloading I will continue to build my new base. It will be around 775 blocks wide, and around 335 blocks tall, plus a very large 'Hotel' on top of that, probably around 200x100 blocks, maybe two statues next to the hotel. If photoshop finishes by the time I get home, I'm going to spend the rest of the night getting as accurate a kamehameha wave as I can in Terraria.
