First time playing master mode terraria, and I'm genuinely getting my ass beat. Found a step stool with the "armored" modifier on it and it gives me nearly 30% more defense when I wear it . Never thought that I would be using a step stool over far, far better accessories.

One is with phone one is with tablet. 1 year difference

I decided to start on master mode when I first started out, is wasn't that hard (or not as hard as people make it out to be), it took me 270 hours of playtime, and I beat every boss while gaining all their trophy's.

We spend over 77 hours, i died 800- times and we discovered a way to purify the world so we editted the wiki, just throw vile/vicious powder on Shimmer to get purified powder, hardest boss was WOF, a good advice: use hoiks to enter golem room and use rollet painter and echo paint to get rid off the black walls

How does this happen and can I use it to enter the jungle dungeon

I need him dead!!! Unless he has the orange zapper then alive

Couldn't get it either btw. But each time I think about quitting I remember that miner meme.

And how do i get inside

Darkners as a concept come from deltarune, They are essentially objects given life.

This has taken me quite a while (mostly due to procrastination tbh).
I hope ya'll like these designs :D

Ive tried moving their comfort furniture, adding platforms in different places, basically anything I can think of. There doesn't seem to be any reasoning behind where the banners go other than they do what they want as far as I can see.. I'm like 2 blocks away from the full discount any help would be very much appreciated. Please & thank you.

All three phone materials at the same time

I love it (yes this is journey mode)

I got a lot of tips from that one buildy youtuber. mine is still messy, but I think the rough structure is pretty good

I guess it's not in the mood today

Today I watched this video by Sorbet Cafe in which he sorta dunks on the Crimson Armor's regeneration set bonus (as seen on the thumbnail). The testing he shows in the video indicates that the regeneration buff is very weak due to buffing natural regen instead of giving a flat buff like a Band of Regeneration and most similar accessories and effects. There is, however, a flaw in his reasoning.

The tests shown are of individual items in the span of 45 seconds without getting hit (with a few exceptions like sitting in a chair in Crimson Armor). Keyword individual. As he himself notes in the video, natural regeneration bonuses scale exponentially with each other, so comparing their individual performance is not a good representation of their realistic performance. For example, Sorbet says that the Vital Crystal does basically nothing, which is true, but only if it's your only source of natural regen.

So, unable to stand this Crimson slander, I did some tests of my own. Unlike in the video, I put the Crimson Armor in a realistic mid Pre-Hardmode build. The tests were done in Expert mode. The sources of regen were:

- full Crimson Armor

- a medium food buff

- a regeneration potion

- a campfire

- a heart lantern

- a Vital Crystal

- and finally, I was constantly moving to emulate a boss fight scenario, reducing natural regen.

This is a simple set up that any Expert+ player is probably already using for bosses at this stage of the game.

I took the tests by jumping off a rope and taking 290-300 damage before starting to run around, then repeating without the armor set. The results were as follows:

From 100-110 HP:

After a 30 second window (shorter than the 45s in the video):

With Crimson Armor: healed up to 270-280 HP.

With other armor: healed up to 225-235 HP.

In an even shorter 15 second window:

With Crimson Armor: healed up to 170-180 HP.

Without other armor: healed up to 150-160 HP.

(note that the results aren't perfectly accurate since I did them by hand with a timer, but I ran them a few times each to confirm an estimate for each scenario)

It's quite clear that Crimson Armor's set bonus provides much greater value than portrayed in the video, giving over 1HP/s (a Band of Regen's worth of healing) even in its worst case scenario of just 15s between hits. You also have to remember that natural regen grows massively over time as you don't get hit, so the set bonus would only grow in value if you manage to get some distance from the boss after a close call or in any similar situation where you can stall for time.

Frequent hits, the Crimson Armor's "weakness" also get countered very well by high defense builds, which have become very popular recently, and the escalating regen compliments high defense well, as the one thing high defense fears is strong attacks that leave you low, like getting caught by a Skeletron head spin or tagged by a Hungry on a high difficulty, which is when fast natural regen can bring you back from low HP faster than anything.

TLDR: Crimson Armor is only bad on its own, in a realistic build it's strong. Plus synergy with defense builds.

I built a whole damn farm just to get it on the 25th one lol.

So I have been looking for mods that add more content to the game while still being balanced and not straying too far from vanilla and complement each other instead of fighting and I guess I came up with something I like.

Here is the collection which is supposed to be added over my other general improvements/QoL collection here but I wanted them to be seperate.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

First is Thorium as a base, It is the single greatest "vanilla like" content mod that plays like an official DLC and fill in vanilla gaps like adding bosses to granite/marble mini biomes as well as adding environmental themed bosses to vanilla biomes that did not have any like desert and space or adding a lot more armor/weapons options and fleshing out vanilla subclasses. It also greatly expands the ocean with the aquatic depths biome and two ocean related bosses. It adds 3 new classes as well and all 3 feels like an extension of already vanilla subclasses (maybe except bard?) And it also adds a post moonlord boss as well which fits thematically with the game pretty well.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Second I added Spirit Reforged, which it has built in integration and cross mod compatibility with thorium and adds two ecotone biomes which are basically transitionary biomes that form between the vanilla biomes, and both are super high quality. Savanna and Salt Lakes both with their own mobs, plants and trees. Salt Lakes in particular is very beautiful. Also it expands the desert by a lot, it added a ziggurat structure that is very fun to explore and adds an underground oasis biome as well as a very high quality boss while thorium also adds a desert boss I still think they are very different. It also adds a lot of content to the ocean biome like events, mobs and its appearance in general with kelp fields, mounts and a lot of new marine life AND it works perfectly with thorium and complement each other really well to make a really great ocean biome. This mod also expands the underground by overhauling cave terrain generation and adds an enchanting system that replaces reforging when used so still balanced. Also adds some mini environments and strtuctures to the forest biome which I find really cute like Butterfly Groves and Wheatfields. All in all it is a very high quality and great mod that does not bloat the game when used with thorium.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Third is Consolaria, Hearbeataria, and Miscellanaria they add old exclusive console/mobile content and chinese versions and balance them to work with the latest vanilla version of terraria. Consolaria is the biggest of the three and afaik has in built integration with thorium as well. It adds 3 bosses from the old console versions. I also added Consolaria Ocram Overhaul to add more flavour to the boss.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

That's mostly it for content, but I also added some more mods to spice up the underground and classes even more like Better Caves and Orchid Mineshaft which adds mineshaft structure and add cool traps and new cave formations. Verdant for a small underground biome that is so peaceful. I think with these mods almost every biome is expanded upon and with as little bloat as possible.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Now for classes I wanted to flesh out the vanilla subclasses instead of adding new classes, Thorium already makes a lot of them more viable like sentries but I wanted to flesh out the more underwhelming ones to complement thorium and vanilla in that regard. So I added Bangarang - A Boomerang Overhaul to flesh out boomerangs and it actually have built in integration with thorium as well, Ty's Yoyo Redux that do the same with yoyos and does not go overboard like other yoyo overhauls and Ty's Dart Overhaul which complements thorium really really well and make playing a dart class actually viable. Also Mount and Journey for more mounts and mount accessories because why not, they look awesome.

I can’t handle this difficulty, bro. Slimes kill me in two hits, and the desert swallows me in two seconds. I honestly don’t know what to do.
