Explore the world better so you have knowledge and know which way to go for adventures and what not and a hellavator before hardmode so you can easily go places to places easily.

ok, heres what i always make sure to have before hardmode:

a skybase, high enough so the crimson/curroption cant reach or be seen, but low enough so harpies and wyverns wont attack.

a farm with planters, for potions.

maybe some artificial biomes (mushroom, jungle)

a LOT of fishing crates, cause when you open them in hardmode you get hardmode ores and bars, meaning you can open them right after WOF and already skip the mining for the new ores process,

acces to the dungeon.


hellivator,


(must have already discovered) a floating island where wyverns will spawn.

Before you kill The Wall of Flesh you should explore the world i.e The Dungeon, The Jungle and also caves for heart crystals. You should also check the sky for sky islands as when you enter hardmode, a mini boss spawns at a certain height.

You should also ensure that you have some good gear and a nice large place able to home plenty of NPC's I think there's like 20 something now. You should also ensure that you have an arena built somewhere and make sure that it is large enough to stretch twice or so across the screen.

After Enterring Hard Mode you can either go to the Corruption/Crimson and break the Altars, or alternatively go fishing for crates to get ore that way. There'll be three tiers of the ore, each one mines the next. Once you have good armor, fight the mechanical bosses. From there do the next stuff in the jungle ;)

Everyone always says to do this but just quickly build enough houses and save money and get a Ceminator and spray or get a world that has Corrution away and I dont use potions often plus you wont need to farm them there are something called "Breaking pots and chests" and you wont need articial boimes just explore and find them and make an easy way to have acess to them and mining isnt hard either just go to hell and dig up around there or re explore old caves.

Someone hasn't played Expert Mode. Potions are the Bread and Butter of survival and kicking ass. Plus helping you to get stuff done.

ok first of all no i dont get clentaminator right away, you know why?
because im in the sky, where the crimson/curroption cant get me,
and thats why i have artificial biomes, for enemies from other biomes in case one gets infected by crimson/curroption.
also a BIG farm because sooner or later all the "chests" and "pots" will run out and be a pain in the ass to go find, and plants for potions are right there in your house.

and for the hellavator its easier to get to places faster without wasting time,

so yea, i dont realy see any flaws in my plan :P

Guys, i didnt make this post to fight about whose way is best ;-; I appreciate all the help. these are all good ideas and ways of doing things. :D if any of you want to add me to talk more about it, that would be cool because ive done normal mode, touched on hardmode, but have no idea about expert mode.

To be honest mini biomes are unnecessary. If you kill Plantera it slows the spread of Hallow and Corruption/Crimson so much. Not only that but you could just store blocks and seeds for just in case, though it really isn't needed.

Worst guy ever more like. He removed the challenge from the game. Terraria is supposed to be challenging.

You know that you can use a single character in multiple worlds?

That way, if you killed the WoF too early for your taste, you can just create a new world and play it with your existing character until you are powerfull (and well enough equipped) to return to your first one.

WTF Annhilator Beam
Gonna adress some of your points.

1. I can totally agree. Cheating is just all round bad and poses no benefit other than ruining the game.

2. Some people don't like to use wikis. So eh, never something I go for advising but thats up to the individual. If you ever want to find out whether something can be crafted or what you can do with something. Put it in the guides slot. It shows all crafting recipes and where you can make what you're looking for.

3.Agree for the most part.Though the prime thing is not jumping but more a matter of having Hermes Boots to give you the boost. Sur ejumping is handy but you don't need to have more than 1 X in a bottle. As for bombs. What I tend to find is that you should hold onto around 10 and go break a couple of shadow orbs then using any spare or by buying some more, you then mine meteorite to save you some time.

4.Fair enough, though I'm going to address your points on bosses ;)

A) Eye of Cthulu only spawns when you have more than 200 hp and a number of NPC's, I believe it was 3. To be honest, I personally don't think the demonite equipment is THAT potent. The only real benefit from it is that the Sword is required to craft the Nights Edge. Otherwise you need to beat the worm for the scales to craft the armor.

B) Going straight to Queen Bee is a bit weird. Normally I tend to go for Eater or King Slime (Depending on whether Slime Rain occurs) The bosses are easier to set-up fights for and require less hunting and thus less resources.
You're also overestimating the bee mount. It can't really fly all that high. The best way to hunt sky island is with Gravitation Potions. Alternatively using ropes instead of blocks is rather viable, you can't be knocked off and it's not as obtrusive as a wall of dirt. Also, you don't need multiple worlds. I don't know where you get that idea, but you don't. Nearly everything can be accomplished in a single world. The only thing that you really ever need to go to an alternate world for, is to make a Crimson biome to harvest Ichor or a Corruption world for a Worm Scraf. In normal mode this is rather unnecessary though.
Also if you have a hornet staff there is literally no need for a slime staff and in fact getting an Imp Staff is much, much more a requirement. The Slime Staff is a beginner weapon. You cna simply summon multiple imps. Though Summoner kinda sucks IMO.

C) Not much to say about King Slime really. His mount is alright. But eh, you can get a hook easily before defeating him by simply making iron chains and aquiring a hook from a Piranha or Skeleton.

D & E OP already did it, nothing to address. Aside from the fact that the Brain is harder than the worm and that you may want to leave it until later (Unless in expert mode where the brain is the easier of the 2)

Extra stuff for you lad.
There's no need to scrap worlds. maybe you play like that but it is not necessary in the slightest. There are only a couple of reasons to shift worlds such as getting materials for the other biome (Crimson or Corruption) And to perhaps pick up any loot that you were unable to retrieve from certain Biomes. Though that is somewhat unnecessary as you can get most things from fishing in the respective areas.

I tend to do Medium Size worlds myself. Basically the main thing you need to keep in mind is. Do I want a long world that will last a while but that will contain more loot. Or do you want a smaller simpler world with less headroom to make travelling easier on yourself. I tend to pick medium as it feels thee better of the three. Again, worlds don't need to be disposable.

I agree with fishing, fishing is important. Most potions require fish so if you ever need a helping hand they can give you a boost. Also, the quests can give you some nice rewards. Though you missed out the aspect of holding onto some crates for hardmode or even hoaring them. You can get the Hardmode Ores in them which can save you the time of hunting for them. Though this is purely a marmite thing to do, some people prefer the mining way, others like the fishing method.

Also, I think you may be overrating the Flying Carpet. It's alright, but nothing to write home about. There are certainy much more valuable accessories that can fill your slots but it's all in what the beholder likes I guess.

To finish off. You make some nice points but I feel you're a little misguided in some places. I just wanted to address some of your points to possibly help you out a little and also allow OP to see that this isn't the entire way to go.

Also, not trying to be that guy, but I do have a little more experience with the game.

Ooh actually. additional tips for you OP. Make sure to have full HP (400 pre hardmode) and Full Mana (200)
And also, don't necessarily limit yourself to one thing. If you are unaware at this point. I don't know how you are at the game, but armor sets provide bonuses. Hard Mode armors have different bonuses for different damage types.

Also, try to not throw accessories away. A lot fo them can be combined at a tinkerers bench. For instance Rocket Boots and Hermes Boots (Or any item similar to Hermes Boots)
