I need help with my stuff :/

So basicaly I LOVE building in Terraria ... The problem is there are some blocs I really want to make something good ... I was wondering, because with this character I don't have the picksaw yet, what is the best technique to mine / recolt blocs ? I don't want to spend time mining with my simple pickaxe because it's going to be long and I know I will have to do more afterwards (chlorophite etc ...). Thanks :D

Rule number 1 is always upgrade your pickaxe. Mining potions, Ancient Chisel, Light modifier on your pickaxe. That's about it.

Thanks :D

it feels weird to reforge a Legendary item xD

Juuuust to be sure, you know that you can switch between two mining/building modes with CTRL, right?

[arielgot]

yeah don't worry xD

[arielgot]

to toggle "smart" mining mode aka bright yellow bloc mining

All right. :)

If you haven't decided to play in Journey mode, I could suggest that.

As far as I can tell, it still offers a Classic mode feeling but also allows you to have a kind of creative mode option where you can get infinite number of something to craft or decorate with.

So if you want a lot of copper walls or stone bricks, you can get all that without mining more copper or stone, after you have done a minimum amount of it.

And then as far as mining new blocks, just keep upgrading your pickaxe and going for the new blocks. That is pretty much the main way to do it if you're not running a modded server where you can get those items.
