How to rapid-craft items you need in great quantities (in case you didn't know)

How do you create 999 smooth marble blocks without clicking 999 times on the marble blocks in the crafting menu? It's simple!

Foreword

This guide was created in order to help people find that one key ingredient to speed up the crafting- and buying process. I know it's just nothing more than a simple hint but I've heard of some people who never discovered that in their entire playtime. So here we go.

Crafting

So you've mined 999 marble blocks or 999 stone blocks (or even more) and now you want to build a suitable house with them. For it to look nice you have to convert them into smooth marble blocks or grey bricks, respectively.

But dayum, son. This is a large number of blocks! Clicking thousands of times is not only tedious and time consuming, your finger will get sore after a while, too! How do we fix that?
Well, you just use the other mouse button! It's really that simple! Right-click the inevitable result of your block conversion in the crafting menu and hold and all the clicking will get done by itself and much, much faster.

This doesn't only apply to the aforementioned marble blocks and stone blocks but to all other crafted items too. You want to create a hundred Light's Bane? No problem. If you've got hundreds upon hundreds of demonite bars you just choose the Light's Bane icon in the crafting menu, right-click it and hold and you will have a hundred Light's Bane in no time! Why you'd want to do that is up to you (I didn't say I wanna craft a hundred Light's Bane, YOU did! Weirdo.), but rest assured you will do it faster than Sonic the Hedgehog can run.

Buying

The aforementioned method (if you can call it that) does not only apply solely to crafting, however.
Yes, you heard that right little Timmy, buying works much in the same way! This will make buying silver bullets for your precious Shotgun a lot faster!

Simply walk up to the vendor of your choice that has the item in question, activate them and open their inventory, then right-click on the item in question and hold and in no time you will have a maximum stack of these without having to click a thousand times!

Again, it's that simple!

Why I created this guide

So, the lot of you may be asking themselves now "Gee, why the heck did you create this guide in the first place? It is useless and it is polluting the guide list for Terraria on Steam!". Well.

I found myself in a situation of having to buy 3996 silver bullets from the arms dealer for my shotgun to always have ammo without running out suddenly. This became even more crucial when I used rapid-fire weapons. Can you fathom as to how painful it was to click 3996 times and dragging every single bullet into my inventory before buying another one? Yeah, I guess so.

It took a long time for me to discover the right-click functionality with crafting and buying and in order to save you the painful process of trying out something new after hours and hours of clicking, I created this guide. It might not be the most useful guide ever and I am sure that most of you people know about this and how it works. But I just gave it a shot.

The thought counts, right?

So anyway, if this guide has helped you, please let me know.
If you wanna criticize on how useless the guide is, please feel free to leave a comment below. Not that I will give them much notice, but you might as well. I can't stop you, can I?

[Prime]

@Retical: But I didn't. There is a reason why. Good on you if you can figure it out. If you can't: too bad.

[Rhets]

you could of just written "hold right click rather than left click" and save your self alot of typing

[RECYCLOPS]

I'm sure most people already knew this, but it's good to teach those who don't.
