Prickly Pears: The rare thing you never thought about.
My entire large world, only one prickly pear, sometimes an entire world will lack these pears. Also, I threw away my only pear before I knew of it's value.

Strange, I found three within the first hour or so of playing 1.2. Had Pink and Silver dye on my gear really quickly. Stopped picking them up after that.

I suppose each world is different though. I very rarely find the Orangle Bloodroot, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

well if its what i think it is, there is a chance for ne cactus to grow one, so just make a cacti farm and u should b able to get some none to hard

Yeah, just set yourself up a nice long, flat stretch of sand in the desert and wait. I think they only grow on the taller ones, but I could be wrong, so try to avoid chopping them too early.

well can just use a pick and knock off the top of ne cactus with em, no need to chop em down unless u want the cacti aswell

To get more prickly pears, just get more cactus, which means making the desert farm. Good thing is that it only requires one block height of sand to start growing cacti.

I have found several but not by running on the world map looking specifically for it.. I just pass by the desert so often while doing other things that I will get one if I see it.


I seem to see them one in 5 cactuses...

i've had close to the same luck, found 1 thing of kelp and about 5 snails since 1.2 has been out

It's value is 1 gold. Prices they sell for are 5x. Yet so are Yellow Marigolds. Prickly pears re-grow.

Thats a problem for me to, very dark and hard to spot, same with bloodrot.

but there is one trick, use your map to find them, they are more visible on the big map than on chreen.

The map only shows what you already saw...if you just take them the first time, you don't have to go back and find them.

But thats the point. even when you return and your map updates and they grown, its hard to spot them at all, but the map you can ignore tha bad light conditions and spot them easy.

They usually stand out to me regardless...and I have wisp in a bottle, staff of the frost hydra, and cursed torches, so I'm not stuck in the darkness
