Bay 12 Games Forum

ok. the edge of the deser has been hallowed to evade crimson infection. may have to check again later. now, fished enough material to craft the adamantite forge and the mythril anvil. and farmed enough spider fangs to craft all the equipment.

first hardmode boss to fall was the Borean Strider. the spiders are really nasty taking in account my accesories can let me get up to 10+ of them. but they still werent enough to take down Infernon which is the first hardmode boss from Spirit mod. it seems im gonna have to go with Thorium bosses first, then check again.

im gonna leave Cryogen last because Calamity is mostly hardmode stuff so i think it will be really hard to fight compared to the other 3 bosses.  specially taking in account how fucked the Slime God fight was.

here's an album with the lastest works. the retired heroes manor and the sky lake fishing hut.

currently building the party house (party girl, clothier, stylist). already got a first floor with checkered bricks done in top of the hill, but a blood moon stopped me from going on. 

EDIT:

i really recommend the Spirit mod, not only because of the whole Artifact thing and the extra stuff for certain biomes but mostly because of the soundtracks. the Starplate Raider fight was incredible, not only because of the boss VFX but also because of the battle theme.

you gotta be kidding me, "a meteor has landed" right when i was building the underworld platform. anyways at least i can go and fight the star scouter. i dont know how potent the WoF is in Revengeance but with the current equipment it shouldnt take longer than the typical expert mode version. i've already bridged almost 6K from the center. hopefully i wont have to use the lava waders.

the stress bar got practically full while building and digging the platform. and there were these mobs called "forgotten ones" which have like 5 health but just touching them can almost kill you. really annoying fellows. outside of that most of the underworld is manageable. i just hope the summons and the bow will be able to take care of the boss.

in other news the Party Girl finally came to the house. i dont know what does she sell with the mods but it shouldnt be any different i think. with her i think i have all the pre-hardmode NPCs collected. i may have to go and build again to pass the time. not to mention that there's still a lot of NPCs that are lacking housing. now that i have a hellforge, the Blacksmith is the most likely candidate.

im gonna wait until this bar goes down then check the meteorite.

EDIT:

farmed the Starplate Raider a bit more and finally dropped the material that was missing. now i have to reforge the Death Wind again. gonna keep this one for the WoF fight. allthought i prefer to use minions. the Scythes are good because they penetrate enemies but they eat minion slots. its complicated to use honestly.

EDIT2:

man the music for the Siren is really creepy. she spawned while mining the meteorite. a mob from the crash site dropped a summoning staff. its a bit below the Skeletalon staff, but maybe with the correct modifier it could surpass it. crafted the meteor head and the meteorite armor for summoner to add into the collection. and fought the Star Scouter.

turns out it does have a summon weapon but its a sentry. it summons a small ufo minion that deals a continous laser from under it or something. according to the wiki this guy doesnt occupy a slot and can be used with other sentries. much like how the sapling doesnt conflict with other mobile minions. gonna give it the best stat i can and see how much it works. with that. only the WoF is missing.

in the end it was easier to camp the edge of the map with the ballista and wait for the goblins to  come. crafted the summoning item 5 times and fought the Starplate Raider 5 times. but still no artifact material. the summon weapon is cool. but still not enough to kill the slime god. gonna check for info in how to kill it or something.
 

2 crimson hearts later still no meteorite or goblin army (dafuq)

i farmed the ancient flier while waiting and got enough materials to craft both the Tide event and the Starplate Raider later. bought the ballista rod and prepared it for combat.

the Tide is a bit clunky because well, its an invasion that starts from the sea and i made the mistake of summoning it in the eastern ocean which has a horrible landscape layout. but was doable, really nice to see mods adding more content to a pretty bland biome. the ballista and the minions were capable of mantainin the enemies on ground. i even got a Hag killed during the event.

got enough materials to craft "Diver Armor" which is the top Pre-Hardmode armor for summoner from Spirit, overall it gives 2 more defense than Spirit Trapper and each piece increase your max number of minions along with giving damage. the set also allows free movement underwater and a Baby Clamper summon that follows you around, really usefull to up my DPS.

i also got a Baby Clamper accesory, which gives +3 defense and increases life regen by 3 points and max number of minions by 1. gonna have this little guy to replace the Obsidian Shield maybe. need to  ward it first.

on the other side, there's another slime rain. this must have cancelled the goblins, but anyways, maybe the next day. who knows. at least i got the Hag contract completed.

EDIT:

well fuck this slime rain, turns out the minions didnt kill a Hag, they killed Pinky. this is annoying.

EDIT2:

it also seems this armor gives double jump. so many stuff :O

the wiki says you need ebonstone/crimstone and blighted gel to craft the summoning item. the slimes that drop the gel are a rare or uncommon mob found in the respecting evil biomes. so yeah you can get the materials before the WoF.

anyways. no luck finding a Hag. i may have to take another water candle from the dungeon or craft battle potions. i went to the granite biome to get the materials tu summon the Energy Storm. it was a long fight mostly because the boss went off screen so i couldnt use the blaster skulls. i got the summoner item. allthought it seems more for the collection. having an aimable turret summon is cool but the gaster blasters do the same stuff. it may be help for invasion tho, so imma modify it.

i also tried to find more spider nests but no luck yet. the spider accesory has evaded me for far too long but i havent found anything yet.

they play different. Starbound is more about different stuff avaliable in a persistent universe with survival as the default mode. Terraria is more about the boss battles, dank loot and exploration. both have strong building and circuit systems tho.

here's an album of the space elevator finished at last. i almost mined the whole marble biome to craft this. and Sunplate has a horrible combination of colors but i wanted something else apart of Marble and Stone Slabs.

i used all the material crafted. nothing was wasted. and added some honey spots at the top. should help against some bosses. allthought from the Ancient Flier fight it seems im close to the world's ceiling so it can be tricky to see the enemy. anyways i aint moving that stuff down. gonna fight the last pre-Skeletron bosses. im tired of building.
