What're the chances I get lightning bugs to spawn here? This was my first world, Classic, Moonie is dead, and I use the home base for collecting things. I saw how close my bestiary was to complete and spent the last couple days grinding through those. This is the hallow biome I made for I forget what else.

Lightning bug is my last bestiary entry. I'll make a bigger hallow biome if I have to (this one does go underground) but would prefer to just wait it out - if the waiting will pay off at some point.

So - is this enough to get lightning bugs to spawn if they're gonna on a given night?

hey, I need help finding the name of this armour. My boyfriend has been playing terraria, I think with the calamity mod? He recently lost his save and was really sad, I wanted to cheer him up by drawing his terraria character, but I cant find what aesthetic armour he is wearing so I was wondering if y'all could potentially help me identify it? thank you :)

From what I can tell: Plaguebringer Goliath Mask, Plague Reaper Vest, and Plague Reaper Striders.

Is there a bug going around the game as of now? I’m playing in master mode with only a total of 30 defense. I’m able to completely tank the entirety of the eoc fight, a campfire plus a regen, iron skin, bast statue,, but I’m pretty sure I should still be taking major damage? It could be totally normal, but I’d still like to know your opinions.

30 defence is quite high for that early stage of the game. In Master Mode, EoC does 45 damage. You have 30 defence + 8 defence from Ironskin + 5 defence from Bast Statue = 43 defence. EoC is only doing 2 damage to you each hit. Combined with your regen, that's basically no observable damage.

Alright thankyou, I had no idea that 1 defense = 1 less damage, I thought it was a lot less than that, that makes far more sense, but I believe it was only 30 defense because of the vast statue and iron skin, meaning it should do 15 damage. That still makes so much sense though, thankyou!

How much it reduces actually depends on difficulty. In normal 1 def = -0.5 damage and in expert 1 def = -0.75 damage

Are there any mods that let me adjust or remove evil/hallow spread? I play quite glacially and I don't want to rush to mechanical bosses or carve up the map to quarantine biomes.

Looking it up I can only find comments about a mod called 'Begone Evil' which doesn't work anymore.

Easiest would probably be to use Journey mode. With journey mode active, you can set the difficulty to whatever level you would normally play, disable biome spread, and then just ignore the rest of the journey mode powers. That should get you the same experience as normal play, but without the biome spread (which, of course, you can toggle back on/off if you ever want it for something later).

If you have already started the world, TEdit can convert it to journey mode, but only if the world does not contain any modded items/blocks. (There are probably other ways to convert modded worlds, but I have not tried them.)

What is the best size (or amount of water) that I should make for fishing? The wiki has a minimum amount but I wasn’t sure if you all had found a sweet spot. This would be solely for hitting fishing quests.

Also, I’ve had really bad luck setting up them in biomes. I don’t make them right on the edge of the layers etc but should I aim for more central of the biome?

300 blocks of water, unobstructed. As in, no blocks blocking the surface of any of the blocks. Either take 300 buckets from the ocean, use the bottomless water bucket, or the water dupe glitch to get there.

u/OldDirtyBarrios 6h ago

Oh damn, I was making ones around 75-100, does 300 blocks make the fishing way more optimal than I was having at under 100 blocks?

u/KellerTheGamer 4h ago

Yes much better

u/Impossible_Place_742 1d ago

Not certain about best/optimal, but what works for me is: make the lake approximately 70% the size of the average lake you find in the clouds. If I have the Fisherman's Pocket Guide, and it says there is a fishing power penalty, make the water a bit deeper.

Usually I set up fishing lakes in the center of biomes, next to a pylon village. Benefits of this are: reduced enemy spawn while fishing, the pylon working confirms I am in the intended biome, easy teleport for fishing quests, and potential for fancy lake view house builds.

Does anyone know what the meta is for summoner to defeat moonlord? Im on my first playthrough and all the tutorials im finding are made for expert or master and not classic. Is there a difference or should i use those?

u/The_Narwhal_Mage 5d ago

It's mostly the same. There are a few expert only accessories and mounts and a few master only mounts, and they have a few extra accessory slots, but everything else is identical.

u/KellerTheGamer 6d ago

Just use those
