Is there a way to have light in this game ?
The worst part about this game that i dont like, is that you need light allways when you are underground so i cannot wear any full set armor, because i allways need the night vision (ultrabright) helmet in order to enjoy playing this game underground.

I heard there are some pets that produce light, are they actually good? because i found this "shadow orb" pet and his light is like 1% power, cant see anything so its useless.

-miner helmet gives you light

-glowsticks but they can't be picked up but don't get blown out if theres water involved
-potions i.e. shine potions and night vision potions
-lava
-light pets exist yes. The 1st couple are the shadow orbs or the crimson hearts you get from the crimson / corrupt. After you go up the list you can find more or craft items to summon light pets. The best by far is probably the will o wisp from wisps in a jar because you can control where they go but overall the ultimate is the true eye of cthulhu.
-using spells or summons sometimes they can light up an area temporarily.

Once you start breaking Shadow Orbs or Crimson Hearts you may get your first light pet. These go into their own gear slot under the grapple tab in your inventory screen. You will get the opportunity to find more of them elsewhere and they make moving around in darkness a lot easier. Until then, your best option is to bring a lot of torches. Those light helmets are only really intended for the very early parts of Terraria when you don't have any armor yet. Once you make some good ore armor you should consider leaving the light helmets behind.
TBH mate, the only good Light pet in the game is the hardest to get. I have many copies of it. You want one?

Try Shine Posions. Very easy to make one you get a farm going.

1 Bottle of water
1 Daybloom
1 Glowing mushroom

Throw in a nightowl potion to brighten it up even more.



Personaly, I just pack a flare gun and light up whole caves to see better with my ranger loadout.

why not help him get through the game so that getting it is at least semi-fully-fair?
