Can you cheese the item recovery service?

[Mogeekan]

Example I lost about 200 iridium ore and about 7 prismatic shards( yes I finally got some :) )
and I recovered the iridium, Would I be able to go and pass out in the mines and loose say stone just so that I can go and recover the more expensive items in the mines(I.E. Prismatic shards)?

Ouch i'd Force Exit and reset the day if i lose that kind of loot but that's just me.

Ya well It was to late, I got woken up and had like 5 sec before it would reset the day so I had no chance to even do that

Well as tip in the future bring healing food and heal when your health gets yellow don't chance it going below especially with lots of loot on you and in dungeons with hard hitting enemies.

Good thing game pauses when eating food.

Oh trust me I did have a lot of food, I just can't scroll to it I have to click on the item first so it takes way more time to eat something

For that reason i use hotkeys to instantly switch to my food.
And heal when i'm at Yellow health not orange not red but yellow. It gives me extra hit or two if i fumble when selecting food.

I also keep all my essentials on single hotbar and on closest numbers when caving.
My Terraria habbits been quite helpful in this game too xD

As far as I'm aware, you're only allowed to recover one item with this service while the rest are gone forever and deleted from the service.

Aside from food which has already been mentioned, the slime charmer ring is by far one of the best items to get in the entire game, as it protects you from all slime damage and debuffs. You can obtain one by slaying 1,000 slimes.

Ah, I play with a controller, so I have to use the bumpers to cycle through my items which isn't exactly the easiest thing for me to do.

Can you select items from inventory menu at least?
I noticed items can be selected in the inventory when game is paused so you can instantly use them once you unpause.

Not sure how this works with a controller tho.

Ya I thought so too, but when I had the option to recover my items, It had the items I had lost previously, the only things I had lost this time around where the prismatic shards my iridium and some stone, but it had options for bombs and seeds and other things that i didn't pass out with

Maybe you didn't recover anything else last time you passed out, which is why they never disappeared. Except they would have by now since you chose something to recover this time around.

If you can, I also suggest you deposit any valuable items you may not need on your journey in a storage chest so you won't lose them. You can easily place one right outside the entrance to the mines. (no NPCs walk inside, so it's safe to place them there)

That would make sense, but no biggy I have some crystalariums making jade to trade for stairs, so I can get pretty far quickly

190 hours in and I didn't know you could recover items... how do you do it?

[Bleep]

when you wake up (immediately after dying) go to the adventurer's guild. item recovery service is what you want.
