Hello all, With the lack of use of the server, couple with the holidays coming, and my building a new house. I have cancelled the Terraria server. It is active until the 27th of this month if anyone wants to visit in the next 5 days. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone. If interest in a server picks up again, I will look into it again. Let's enjoy the game none the less, as we all do, anyway!  |

i wouldnt say it was interest in the server so much as with the updates not being able to reliably connect to the server. that being said if you need money elsewhere its your to do what you wish with it
EDIT: I will buy most of the rares dye ingredients off people for 20 gold, and treasure maps for 1 platinum

Perfectly understandable, Ry. Thanks for making it available as long as you did.
So, the Hardmode spell Nimbus is a murder machine. It absolutely obliterated the Destroyer with little effort. Another spell "Golden Shower" is also giving my enemies a wee bit of trouble. Does damage for a low mana cost and gives enemies -20 to defense. Only downside is that yes, it looks like what it sounds like. Not the most mature of abilities, but useful effects nonetheless.
Going to try to solo the Twins and Skeletron Prime next.

I'm sorry, but "Golden Shower"! Really??? HAHAHA, my dirty mind won't let that one go... Spell description: Pee on an enemy. They like so much, they join your side, and move in to your house. Also, was "wee bit of trouble" meant as a pun, if so, kudos to you, sir!  |

It was indeed intentional. You're welcome.
Yeah, like I said, it's a stupid name/theme. But it is a very good spell. -20 defense and its damage are only two good effects. When enemies are hit with the debuff it makes them glow bright yellow, so they're very easy to track.
You can also arc it. (*snicker*) If you aim it up and a bit to the side you can arc the stream over nearby walls allowing you to stay safe from projectiles while still doing damage. (Do not try this at home.)
And I take a certain pleasure in using it against Pirates, but that's just a bonus.
Killed Skeletron Prime solo, but the Twins got me. It's hard to confine my damage output to one of them, so both ended up going ballistic and I couldn't keep up. I either need higher damage output, or the Specter set to keep healthy.

I still haven't had a pirate invasion or a solar eclipse ... Gah.
Sorry for the late check monkey ,but I don't have a spare ancient cobalt or shadow armor yet. I'll keep my eye out for them to drop.
the golden shower helped me rip through the destroyer. Its a pretty decent spell.

when fighting the twins I stand still, the one that shoots flames stays to the left and doesnt move if i dont, and retinzer floats above me shooting down at me. i just focus fire to the left til it changes form, then deal with it as it charges at me. then once he died i kill rez. not sure if you can tank em like that though.
twins are by far the hardest of the 3

It is me, or have they been sped up? I could swear they move faster than they used to. I did not try tanking them, but will later. That Frozen Turtle Shell should help with that. I'll have to be careful on when I heal though. Making my own set of Turtle Armor now in case I can't tank with just Titanium. Much appreciated, Jaded. Can't have my mannequins running around half naked, can I? Let me know if I can help you with something in return. |

Those I do not have, and it's looking like I'm going to need them if I hope to solo these guys. There's just no way I can keep up with their damage output, even reducing it drastically via Turtle Armor and Shell. Got about 3,000 off of killing one of them, but even then I'd need to be able to dodge the other long enough to heal up before I got him to his second form.
Set up a small AFK farm for keys in the Crimson, but it doesn't work well enough. Need to fix the design. Also, it appears that any thin layer of lava will just vanish once the world closes and reopens.

are you using campfires, and honey? 1st time I beat the twins was without the knives

Campfires, yes, but not honey. However, I think that would be made up for with the Soup and Regen Potion I did use. Also a Magic Power and a Thorns potion just because, in addition to my Crystal Ball buff.
Got the fire one down to about 2,000 on the latest attempt.
Discovered that I can't even get Plantera down to half. If I could kill that one I would at least be able to start farming for Ectoplasm and see if the Specter set actually works as well as I think it will.
Maybe it's my accessories. I switch out the Balloons for the Shell, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Maybe I'll try a Sorcerer Emblem or better next time.

If you can get plantera to the surface it will make him a lot easier to handle. His bulbs show up on the map as little pink squares , so you could dig straight down to him if it isn't to deep.
cloryphte armor may help you out also , you get a crystal that shoots every few seconds .

why not use honey? when i fought it i used all possible potions that matter, plus honey and campfire, and i barely made it out alive. then i got the knives later and never needed to use any buffs when fighting it

I like what they did with the keys, it gives it more of an accomplishment feeling instead of just random luck .

Killed Plantera last night. Getting it to the surface was a great suggestion, J. And now that I've seen how much better it is with more room, I'm sure I can make an appropriate arena in the underground Owned the Golem today. First fight was hard. We actually killed each other at the same time. those lasers are mean if you don't give yourself room to dodge them. When I saw that he couldn't go through blocks like most bosses, it got easy the next times. I mined up the spike-ball traps and super dart traps that litter the temple and made him a nice box to spawn in. Wired it all up to a switch a ways back, and just kept jumping on it. Still have to dodge the lasers, but it's not hard with wings. Got all his items. Finished doing that, warped back to base. "It's going to be a terrible night." Time for a rematch with the Twins. Owned them too. Next up I'll be hitting the dungeon for some Ectoplasm. Kinda sucks that the Specter set now requires Chlorophyte ore as well. Once I have the Specter set I'll try to figure out how to activate the Pumpkin Moon. Oh, and also I saw that the dev hinted at an expansion of the Christmas events by the holidays. |

You can't really make an arena for plantera. I went to a lot of trouble making one, fought it, lost and then next time I fought it it was in a totally different area away from the arena, no way I'm going to make a new arena each time I fight it, or clear a path from the bulb to an arena

That's weird. It double posted about an hour apart. I'm gonna guess it's something to do with the mobile version of the site. Going to delete the spare. If anyone sees this happen again anywhere on the board, please let me know. If there's a problem with the software we have to report it and hopefully get it corrected.
I can understand why you wouldn't want to, and if my gear allows, I'll avoid it as well. But if not, my Jungle happened to spawn with a large amount of open space that I can take advantage of.
Oh, yeah. And I have been having Voodoo Demons still spawn occasionally in Hardmode. I think it's just that they have a larger list of mobs to contend with now, so they barely show. Anyone else think that the Witch Doctor should just sell those?
