Ancient Forge

[Kota]

I just can't find it, I've uncovered almost the entire desert and I'm getting frustrated. Wiki says its roughly 650 blocks from core is this correct? Any info on its spawn conditions would be helpful.

[EEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA;3]

it exists it took me while to find it on our world just make sure to explore every fire biome thingy that spawns cuz it could be in there, for us it was in the 2nd fire biome we found

Spent 2 days so far trying to find this... Uncovered MANY lava areas, and zero forges.
There really needs to be a scan item for this, it's so frustrating spending literally 10+ hours not finding it and gating progression.

if the wiki says 650 tiles, just follow the circle at that range and look for magma biomes (600-700 is still valid as the biome it spawns in is quite big)

mmmhm "just". Cleared like 8 magma zones before I found it south of the damn magma boss.

Is there a way to measure the distance from the core? I assume you dont count 600 tiles...

You got coordinates when opening map (default M)- and move your cursor

oh, thx

its actually funny how difficult this pickaxe is to get compared to the way better stormbringer which does the same thing but better in every way. plus it costs WAY more ore for no good reason.

they need to patch this recipe and the runesong sword soon. they are grossly underpowered for the effort required. same for the carddeck.

[Ishimuro]

iirc you can place walls and mine em with pickaxe to generate ore

and i think they better patch the stormbringer, as that one is op, no need to make the other stuff broken too

I spawns inside a volcano, I found it pretty quick. It's like any other volcano dungeon, not a unique structure. It can be well hidden inside, make sure you check every chamber you see.

The Soul Seeker is actually less powerful in terms of mining damage than the reinforced solarite pickaxe, and as a legendary cannot be reinforced (only upgraded). It's marginally better than the Stormbringer, another legendary mining tool a couple tool tiers above which is substantially better at clearing large areas and doubles as a mid-range melee weapon.

The main advantage of the Soul Seeker is just its chance to produce ores (which I haven't seen much value in, personally. It's peanuts compared to just finding ore boulders) and its unbreakable status. It's relatively cheap, but if finding the forge is that big of an issue for you I can assure you it's probably not worth the trouble unless you want the achievement or are a collector completionist.

cannot patch the stormbringer. it only does 1 thing currently unique to it which is the chain lighting. cannot take that away from it as then its just a worse obliteration ray basically which means you could just remove it. could make it harder to get at most. which wouldnt slove the issues with the underpowered legendarys.

so wrong. they need to patch the more useless legendarys. not the other way around. and there is so much ore in boulders that this special effect with its 1.6 chance is a bad joke no matter what.

same for the carddeck. trinity heart has made this thing obsolete in every single way. its just flat out the same but better and it scales for future updates unlike the deck. and it takes less effort to get it.

[Ishimuro]

never said to remove the chain, just make it a bit weaker, but we should take note that the "older" legendarys dont need to be on top anymore, as we got 2 new biomes after them, there will be new legendarys with future content, still having stuff that i can use brainless because no duration is used is a nice to have

so ppl have to decide if they want to do the work for the "old" and "outclassed" legendarys or just go with the new content stuff that is kinda better
