The never ending search for Clear Gemstone and Chipped Blade

[BlueMagican]

So far over 12 hours spent looking for these two items. As someone who typically doesn't use guides this is getting incredibly frustrating. Is there any way we can get something like a compass or ping device to help you find them?

I was just about to come on here to suggest the same thing, its not fun or rewarding mining through quite literally MULTIPLE ENTIRE BIOMES just to make a sword that is mid at best.

They really need to take a note out of Terraria's book and make exploration feel rewarding rather than tedious and unfun.

I think once you buy the rune scroll it should mark the locations on your map for where to go, or give it a quest which i think would be much more satisfying.

The challenge should come from the dungeon you go through to acquire the item, rather than how long you can last before getting extremely bored of monotonously mining through multiple biomes.

I recommend making a new world after buying a azeos locator then go directly to him. then search every 8 -10 tiles in a spiraling or back and forth manner don't go deep into the wilderness because the world generates as you discover and you may have had the temple and maze generated in a very random area. so just search around him and keep extending by 8 or 10 tiles each time. you will find it

also the maze can be in the stone biome. hope this helps

found one clear gemstone in a maze in the wilderness last night

It's optional content, not necessary to complete the game. Now with the sledgehammers clearing biomes is easier and faster than before.

Keep going, you'll find the maze and temple eventually. If you're not having fun searching for them, do something else. The whole process of searching will increase your skills and give you lots of other useful items that you'll need later.

It's a legendary item, it's not supposed to be easy to get. If you think this is hard, wait until you try to get the pieces for the bow!

There's lots of easy rewards in the game. there should also be some that are more challenging to acquire - the effort put in to get it makes it more satisfying when you finally do get it.

actually the bow is easier as the citys and the treasury has a set distance from the core they have to spawn. 1000 1250 1550 1750 treasury city 1 2 and 3 in that distance order, and with the recent patch telling you how far you are from the core. Also the chiped blade and handle you can get multiple of, but there is only 1 gemstone per world that has no fixed distance from the core, and is just randomly rolled every time you enter a new chunk if you get it or not. Also rune song is not worth the effort its speical effect will almost never trigger, tho bow tho... the bow is fun alittle slow on the attack rate, but its dmg is solid, and its special effect happens decently often

Ya I am having the same issue and I just gave up. I almost gave up looking for the end-game armor (I won't spoil it) because it's a similar treasure hunt to the sword it would seem. Hope they integrate something into the game just to make it a little easier so you at least know where to look SOMEWHAT at the very least.

There should be some in game hints so people don't have to look up a guide, I agree with that

[woldancer]

that armor set also has a fixed distance from the core as well, but 900 1100 1300 and 1500
tho the titan timple at 900 is a ♥♥♥♥♥ to find as it spawns inside of a rock with only a small part outside of it, truth it look tight, but its not really all that good

[Brumble]

Just install the chat command mod and give it yourself, I got fed after 4-5 days of searching for it, so I just gave myself the clear gemstone job done.

[BlueMagican]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Right now I have all the major things with the exception of of course the legendary sword. I've tracked down everything else save working though some of the content brought about by the Paws and Claws update. I've sadly searched pretty much everywhere in my stone biome and so its down to digging out the rest of... the wilderness since, from my understanding that's where it should be.

As for the chat command mod, I didn't even know that was a thing... and yes I've started considering just making a new world....

Again, thanks for the feedback! :)

I guess I was lucky because I found the temple and maze without too much trouble and got the Rune Song not long after breaking through the wall and exploring Azeos. At that point it's still quite useful. Getting the bow seems like it will be much harder because I have to find 4 places in a much bigger biome.

I would disagree that Rune Song isn't worth the effort. Having an infinite durability weapon that is fast, does decent damage and heals each hit is quite nice when going back to earlier biomes and 1 shotting everything. I can explore for longer without having to worry about weapons breaking and having to return to base for repairs.

But yeah the other special effect of percentage chance to insta-kill a monster with less HP than you is not great. They could redesign that, hopefully. My character has 700hp so it's a small chance of saving me one extra swing? Meh
