dont forget that you have to catch a golden butterfly for the final staff.

Yeaaah, if that doesn't get lucky early enough I'm probably going to drop a zerg pot on the NPC apartments during daytime. Enough residents there and they mostly squelch hostile generation, which means you get 30x critter production interspersed with the occasional slime. If you need gold critters and you're real tired of being patient, that's the way to do it.

... also the mods I've further stacked on top of everything has at least one double rate accessory. Going to be reeeeaaaal interesting to find out if that's additive or multiplicative, ehehehe.

And hey, weird one tile hole in the ground ultimately going about a fifth of the way down the map led to a sword grotto thing. Arkhalis get!

E: Huh. Not sure I've seen this before. Total ocean chests (y'know, the water ones along the ocean floors) in this world: 0. None got generated.

E2: Alright then dye man. My character has now taken on their true calling: Shiny Hypnosis Themed Supervillain. Shame it looks kinda' ass without the moving bits. Blue acid on an archaeologist's hat, red cape, and slime mount, reflective copper on my armor, leggings, and the glowing shroom shell I've got on my back that makes me look like a knockoff doctor octopus. This is serendipity.

I dunno, lads. It might be time for a change of identity.

Contrary to some of what's been said on this, I'd probably recommend keeping a separate identity for the sort of public dispersal you're talking about. It's decent practice pretty much always when dealing with the internet and anything even remotely approaching the possibility of having professional impact (which inviting fellow workers for a round of whatever definitely has, if small). You're never entirely sure what part of a lengthy history is going to shotgun you in the crotch for a prospective or current employer, and most sorts of those kinds of interactions, direct management or inter-organizational or whatever, can be complicated by that sort of thing.

Basically, you can keep naxza but having a yourname39 equivalent (and yes, something along those lines is recommended for a more professionally connected profile, sadly enough) for interactions with folks you're less comfortable with/could eventually bite you in the ass is fairly high up there on the "good ideas in personal personnel management" list. Maybe whoever it is wouldn't give a casual search for your current one, but maybe they would, too, or someone potentially impactful towards your life could be looking into them and run into your junk by association.

If you don't have real good reason otherwise, why take the risk when not is not much beyond a new email address, and a little bit of message control to keep each set separate, in terms of effort to substantially mitigate it?

Kill EoC. Meander for a bit doing little. Decide to open pandora's box (a 20 gold item claimed to be able to do just about anything) because ?.

...

Receive wyvern. Oh dear.

...

Kill wyvern after long, long string of mostly single digit damage pings (occasionally 11 damage or a crit in the twenties!), receive souls of flight. Well then. Thank you, based thorium icy arrows. I'm glad I remembered that if you whang a wyvern in the head with a slowing attack it basically stops moving for as long as you can keep it applied.

Bit of a scare at first, though. Didn't think to change arrows, was goomba stomping it to dodge, accidentally fell into a fairly deep digging tunnel. Got out of the thing with one hit worth of health left and potions on cooldown, ehehe.

hmmm according to the wiki Clatterbone has the same defensive stats as Danger. so i dont need that
the travelling merchant also appeared with a lot of stock. cement mixer, dps meter,  dynasty materials and even a Code 1. so i jumped further in DPS. should be enough for the EoW fight.

Wish the guy'd hurry up on my end, heh. Wouldn't mind making the next layer of the ziggurat apartments out of their stuff.

E: goddamnit game

very next day traveling merchant shows up

has no building materials for sale

nothing placeable except a chalice

wish i could goomba stomp this jerk right now

Trying to get the mask from the slime king. First dozen or so attempts, nothing, so I decide to dump the 53 gold and see exactly how many "several" is in this overcharger thing's description.

... it turns out the answer is ten. Ten slime kings, ah ha ha.

Oddly enough, I think it might have been an easier fight than a single one. I'm at barely gold tier in terms of weapons (and not even that for armor), so I've mostly been using the mount to goomba stomp my way to victory, raining arrows and debuffs from above. Turns out when the floor is king slime it's notably easier to stay in the air. Who woulda' thought? _{Though I did end up bombing part of my next door plains to get rid of the remnant carpet of those spiky slimes. Probably should have thought through the lingering aoe concern to a larger degree than noticing I had a few bombs in my inventory part way through the fight :V}

E: oh sod off

flush with victory I head into the partially constructed inverted ziggurat that is my NPC apartments

walk through the front door

"You feel an evil presence watching you..."

...

We just need some duct tape and post-its...

... that sounds a fair bit like whoever did the wiring thought they were meant to "do" it more in a fornicative sense than functional. Totally explains the one that does nothing, even, as that would be the one that finally shocked sense into them by way of electric groin infusion.

Can only guess hope it was DIY rather than someone actually hired, heh.

Hrm. Well, crash giving thoroughly unhelpful error message mixed with some UI issues (of the "wait a tick, where the buggery did half my inventory go" sort, among other things) with the RPG one I was checking out, and I'm re-enabling calamity (on top of the rest, so I'm at trio-thorium+like-eight-other-mods, assuming it doesn't crash while reloading) because because. Also one of the other RPG ones I grabbed to peek at.

K one (never bothered to actually pay attention to the name, but it's the only K name I can recall) was nice so far outside the interface problems, if fairly low key on the actual stat gain side of things (less so surrounding mechanics, heh), but those interface problems were a thorough pain in the arse. No autopause unless you want little things like the shop interface to disappear, intermittent problems with the extra inventory pages that looked to have caused the disappearing inventory trick, some other stuff including incompatibility with magic storage which I really want to check out. It's fairly well done design wise and mostly works, but mostly doesn't cut it very well when it takes like 10 minutes or more to load all this mess, heh.

... or not, since mod loader seems to have updated and calamity and spirit are noping out during initialization. Grumble grumble. Also the mod browser self-update in-game thing is itself crashing, so... fix later. Generate new world now.

Ach, wish me luck. I've disabled thorium and calamity, left spirit on (because biome conflicts are fun, let's break the generation code in half), and turned on, like. Eight or ten new mods. Think only two or three were major content mods, but... still. Going to be interesting to see if it explodes and/or if my computer crawls into a corner and cries instead of running the game.

E: it hasn't crashed yet, but I have learned a lesson: Maybe don't try to run the recipe browser mod when you're adding in probably several hundred new items

E2: Welp, there it went. Crashed as the recipe thing was nearly finished loading, ha. Let's try this again...
