Double trouble

[Fist bump]

Should i keep my doubles of some drops or chest items.
because it seems like there is more then just one use for alot of the things i have just craped on skeltron. (easy) so iam in pre hard mode i think. WOF soon to be my baby boo lol :)

any hints are cool but i dont want to throw anything out that i may need later and yes i know about the wiki but to me that messes up the game i want to hear what all you guys/girls/aliens have to say :)

You should keep anything that has "Material" in the desciption, as they can be used to craft better gear. Check with your Guide first to see everything you can craft with an item before selling/trashing it.

Also, remember that most items found in chest, especially in the dungeon, can't be crafted or bought from NPCs. Once you sell/trash an item, it's gone, and the only way to get more of those items is to create another world.

It is always a good idea to keep doubles of a weapon, a non-craftable piece of armor, or an accessory. Sometimes you may want to combine a rare and/or irreplaceable item with another, and at the same time you may want to keep it. Like with something you've found, bought, or crafted that happens to have a really good prefix, for instance.

Consider the Lucky Horseshoe: You can combine it with an Obsidian Skull to get an Obsidian Horseshoe but you can also combine it with a Cloud In A Balloon to get a Blue(?) Horseshoe.

Consider the Blade Of Grass: Maybe you happened to get a Sharp Blade Of Grass, but you want to use it to make a Night's Edge. Wouldn't it be great to have two?

And consider the Minishark: Wouldn't you like to have both a Star Cannon and a Megashark?

In all these cases it really is useful to have doubles of said items, and probably others as well.
