Yeah, I noticed you would often get low on health from just standing there in your turtle armor, but would be fine when you started throwing knives. It would probably wreck the difficulty of bosses, you're right. Though I suppose I could just not use them until I killed the bosses without the knives. Would definitely make farming them for trophies (if needed) go a lot more smoothly. You don't say, Jaded.  Working on the plans for the rest of the base now. Also found out what the problem was with painting. It's something to do with a given block's saturation value. Many paints don't change that, only color, so a gray block stays gray. However, at a Dye Vat you can take two of one paint and make a "Deep" version (ie, two Blue paints makes one Deep Blue paint)and those do work on gray blocks. As I tend to make my place out of gray brick, since stone is plentiful, it was kind of annoying. |

Lol I saw that last night and figured you could do it with every color , but apparently not. The black seems to be already as dark as the deep colors. I was hoping that you could get it darker so it would be almost pitch black.

Writing this here so I'll remember it. On the agenda for completing the base: Build new Storage area. Build complete Hall of Armor overlaps with the Trophy Hall.Finish replacing the stone and walls with brick for the NPC Housing.Personal Quarters. Fix whatever's keeping people from connecting to me. Contract out work for teleporter system. Finish painting the whole thing. Biome preservation areas (optional). Lay groundwork for The Tree. (Planning stages only. Gonna take a lot of wood.) So far, so good. Decided to ditch the Biome Preservation since it's easy enough to just use another world. Saw this today on the Terraria Facebook page: Halloween I'd heard hinted at, but a World Boss? Now I'm curious. |

Hopefully it will be a weekend event and not just one day.
I have every npc except the new mushroom guy , I can't seem to find him in any of the biomes .
Is there any way to get more liazhard crystals ,or do you have to start a new world to generate a new temple?

you create a house on the surface out of mushrooms and he will appear. as for crystals you can get more as a drop. its a 1% drop from lizhards, and flying snakes.

Getting closer. Got everything but the personal quarters built and painted. The Tree will take a bit more planning. And I should have the connection issue fixed by Saturday evening.
Really liking the way it looks. Wish I could get the whole thing in frame for a screen shot though. Oh, well. No biggie.

I do not. But hey, what's a bit more farming?
EDIT:
18 kills later and no luck. Not really surprised with a .67% chance.
Did learn something strange. If you summon an Eye and it drops a trophy, another one won't seem to approach you until you get rid of it. Could just be a fluke, but I don't know.

All but complete! Even added in something extra on the spur of the moment that turned out very nicely, I think. Would like to complete all the available armors before I enter Hardmode. To that effect, if anyone's got a spare Ancient Cobalt Helm (Maneaters, Hornets) and/or an Ancient Shadow Chestpiece (Eaters) that they could throw my way I would love you and squeeze you and have your babies.  |

Hey, if I'm willing to go to the effort of figuring out how to spawn children despite being male, you can handle a little squeeze. Posting some screenshots. Here's hoping the spoiler works this time. Treetop  Tree bottom & rest of NPC Tower  Hilt--Still needs a proper pommel. Not sure what design to go for. Rope leads up to a natural floating island.  Going for an evil mage vibe in my Personal Quarters. Pipe organ and all (Okay, it's a piano. Close enough.) You can see most of the "blade" sticking out the bottom.  And there's the rest of it, stopping just above my Trophy/Armor Hall. My storage/alchemy tower is kinda visible to the right. Got one of each gem robe. Still need 3 Wizard Hats to outfit everyone. Having no luck with Tim, even with Water Candle and Battle Potion.  My right tower with its spiral staircase I mentioned before. Wish I could find a statue that faces right, but there doesn't seem to be one. Unlike furniture, it doesn't flip depending on where you face when you place it.  And lastly, my left tower which only has a simple rope "ladder" to ascend, but did get the gargoyle statue.  |

Hey Arnold Schwarzenegger did it in a movie lmao.
your place looks really well thought out. I think I'm going to start a new world and really make my own place instead of just a square house lol .
also I saw on a reddit fourm the Halloween update is going to have a super tough boss.

I thought about it, but it would overlap with my left NPC tower. And besides, if I did that I'd have to turn the tree into a Great Deku Tree and switch to a melee focus with the Hero's Clothes and an Enchanted Sword. And remember, I'm going for the evil mage vibe. A giant Sword of Evil's Bane probably sends the wrong message. Thinking about how to make a simple ring and tassel. Ring's easy enough, especially with the new slanted/half-block feature, but the tassel would be difficult. Might just cap it instead. Thinking red for the color no matter what I do. Am planning to stick a small hive in the tree somewhere. Just because. Thanks, J. I did put some planning into it, mostly just making a list of what I wanted and following it. The sword was just a random moment of inspiration. It'd be cool if we do get a really hard boss. I'd love to team up and take it on. Attempted to follow a guide on port forwarding. If anyone wants to check and see if it worked, just send me a Steam message. |

if you are going for an evil mage vibe than why did you put a sword there at all?

Because what good guy has a giant sword stuck in their base?
Also note the obsidian hilt. Clearly it's an evil thing.

but not very mage like.
also having the master sword in your base would be very evil. youd be keeping it away from all the links.

Evil's Bane. Couldn't get near it, let alone sleep under it. lol Not mage-like, huh? Tell that to Gandalf. |

Working on the plans for the rest of the base now.
