It's really rare in the quarry I think? I have only seen one once in two years.

Better to pop into the mines, check the rare vendor or get all the omnigeodes you can and boost your luck with foods on a lucky day to try to get them.

I don't think I've ever seen an iridurim rock outside the desert dungeon before I upgraded my own pickaxe to iridurim.

The quarry and the Mines aren't exactly the best locations to get Iridium, although it is possible to get some it's less likely to occur. The Skull Cavern at lower floors than 60 or even 100 would be your best bet to get Iridium.

If it's the prismatic shard you want, there is a rare chance to get one from frozen, lava, and omni geodes. If you don't have the key for skull cavern yet, I guess you need to farm the crap out of the deeper levels of the mines, deeper meaning 80+

I'm pretty certain it's just the Omni Geode that has a chance at a Prismatic Shard, not the Frozen or Magma geodes.

But yes, You could regularly visit the quarry and clear it out in case a Mystic Stone appears, but I've only seen it there twice, and only once did it have the Prismatic Shard inside so you'll have to be persistent.

The best way to get iridium is to collect as many 999 stones stack. Go to skull cavern and turn your stones into stairs. Bring lots of bombs too. Once you reach level 100 in skull cavern using the stairs. Start using your bombs to blow up everything. Iridium spawns plentiful at 100 level and below. You can get as much as 300+ iridium ore doing this. Remember to make sure you do this on a lucky day by checking with the TV.

The 2nd way is to create a slime hutch. This is a slower process. You can try to find purple slime eggs and start breeding them. Make sure theres a male and female. Kill them and farm them for chances of iridium drops. Leave a male and female to repopulate again. Repeat

The 3rd way is to earn lots of money. Go to Sandy on wednesday & spam buy Omnigeodes. You can get like 5 -15 iridium ores from every 100 Omingeodes. This is a very slow process, slowly breaking omingeodes, unless you have a mod that breaks all Omni at one hit.

Other way to collect iridium but are not really farming methods are:

- go to quarry and hope for a very rare chance of iridium spawn
- buy from Rare vendor
- wait for rare meteorite to hit

A rare vendor is actually not rare. it is a traveling merchant that appears every friday and sunday. Her stocks are random, sometimes she sells rare stuff, furnitures etc.

You can find her by going south of your farm and go left. She will be above the large pond

She is also the only way to get Rare seeds that grows into Sweet gem berry. Sweet gem berry can be given to the statute in the secret woods for a stardrop.

but dont rely on the rare vendor thou. Her stocks are not unlimited. You can only buy like 1-5 depending on the item.

So I can buy a Prismatic Shard from the traveling vendor?

No rare vendor doesnt sell any minerals and gems.

She will only have chance of selling resources. - copper, iron,gold and iridium. You cant get primsatic from her.

By doing the best way i suggested above. you can get as many as 5 shards per run. Skull cavern is your answer for end game items.
