1.3 Money Farm - 4 Platinum In 10 Minutes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEM9Uu7roBE This is very easy to do. If you're a summoner you're gonna farm even better, if you're any other class you might not be able to go afk in here, will need to shoot here and there one or two times to keep some mobs away from you 'cause they teleport right into your face.

I found this method myself, someone might also be doing the same, but I haven't looked at others and came up with it myself. All the details are in the video. Feel free to ask questions.

I've never built any sort of AFK farm, so I'm not exactly a good reference here, but...

Looks like a nice Ectoplasm farming setup, I would definitely use it that way rather than my usual "enter dungeon, kill things as they appear" tactic.

However, you're activery killing things in that video. Even a Summoner would need to pick up and sell the junk regularly. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of an "AFK" farm?

Why not just do a Pumpkin Moon? It's 25-30 Platinum in 9 minutes (plus 5 minutes for selling several inventories' worth of loot).

It's kind of sad that Terraria's money system is mostly useless. You need money for reforges, and... ...yeah, that's about it. They could dump the entire money system and just let you pick which modifier you want on your items, wouldn't change the game much.

Or maybe the fun in building farms isn't about the payoff? I know some people love building things regardless of their usefulness, but not being creatively inclined myself I don't find any pleasure in it.

This works exceedingly well for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf3NRWhclME

Still works well in 1.3.

Spooky Armor is still best because Tiki and Stardust makes the slimes do more than 1 tick of damage.

I don't think this can give you 15 platinum in 1 hour... of course you have pick things up and stuff, too much effort, but there is no better way of doing it, real afk farms give 5 times lower of what I showed it the video.

Do you think a lava pit could be incorporated? Just shallow enough that it doesn't destroy loot? I have one under my castle, and a hall underneath I teleport to to gather the goodies that drop. The castle has a mini arena inside for UFOs or Mothras that attack me, and everything else dies in the pit. I feel like these ideas could be combined to make for some effective farming.

That's one of the things you can add to the farm, tho it doesn't do that much damage against those enemies.
