How do you get a magic mirror?

[radical tourism]

I'm almost prepared for the fight of the W.O.F, but I can't seem to find a magic mirror...

[Myth]

They are in chests in below the surface. Gold ones to be exact.

Yeah, they're just a gold chest item. Your world gen might have decided to arbitrarily screw you over by not spawning one at all. Even so, the mirror isn't that useful while fighting the wall. The boss fight causes a debuff on you. It'll kill you if you try to flee.

Although of cours,e ont he other hand, you'll definitely want one before hitting hardmode... Otherwise, you could craft recall potions as an alternative. It sucks they have limited uses, but they do actually work much faster than the mirror does.

Thanks guys. Yeah, My world screwed up as the underground Jungle and underground Snow biomes took over the world beneath my feet. No wonder that world is named "Legitimate Junkyard" =P

P.S was it easy getting it?

How do you not find a magic miror, i can find one in the first 10 minuest of playing...

Tip: craft 2 gills potions and go ocean diving (both oceans can have awsome loot). If you still cant find one you will just have to quit the game and log back in to reset your location to spawn.

True, but would you rather spend ages gathering the materials for them or spend 20 mana?
plus their realy is no need to craft them, they can be found in almost every chest. And unless you drink them like water on a hot day you are not likely to run out

I finally found one guys. It was in a giant underground house, the Largest one recorded...

I have no idea where you're getting the 20 mana from... besides, the fish you need is common enough at cavern depth. While it is true that deathweed is much harder to come by, the fact remains that it's true that you don't need many. So how is that spending ages to get the materials? Yes, it is going out of your way to grab a few things, but it's not so hard to do.

Also, magic mirrors can't be found in water chests (although I have, strangely enough found a cabin in an ocean before)

Regardless, he or she has found his/her mirror. I can only wish them good luck with hardmode.

I know where he gets that idea from: From 1.0.5 to 1.2 Magic Mirror cost 20 mana to activate.

That covers a period of slightly more than a year of the Mirror costing mana and players not starting with any.

You can't even use the magic mirror when fighting WoF but it's still very useful later.

Oh. Well, the more you know. I started playing well after 1.2 came out, so things like this are lost on me.

A little late, but they added a crafting recipe of 10 glass, 8 gold bars and 3 diamonds at a furnace.

man I can't even remember when I last used a mirror - recall potions are faster and easy to come by.
