Tip for killing hardmode bosses easily:

Get lots of friends. Get lots of firepower. Fight it at spawn, so people who die can get back in the fight.

SUCCESS!

killed eater of worlds, very easy once you have demonic weapons. drops allowed me to craft shadow helmet and greaves, now i need to grind some more demonic ore for the mail.

huh, any advice in how to find the goblin tinkerer? i have looked in every surface cave i've been and havent found him.

[choppy]

You beat to beat the goblin army first to have him spawn. Which mean you need to kill goblins in the forest for tattered cloth to make the battle emblem to summon them.

The criteria for a goblin invasion to occur at all is as follows: [1]

    You must have at least one person in the game with 200+ current life.
    You must have smashed at least one Shadow Orb.
    You must not have had an invasion within seven in-game days.

[xaritscin]

i know right, i have beaten 2 invasions, but i havent found him yet.....

[Mageziya]

Or just let time pass. They come eventually.

I actually forgot the tattered cloth was a thing, this game has enough content for several games, so it gets rather confusing at points what is and isn't a thing.

So, hardmode.

The Wall of Flesh was... well, not a wuss as such, but yeah. Didn't warrant nearly as much preparation as I had done. Pretty much waterbolted the thing to death, without any sort of special arena setup, just fly away and let the mana flower chug potions for you. Finished it off with the Boomstick, just because using a spell from roughly midgame for the entirety of the fight felt cheap. The drop was unimpressive. Just the required hammer, and the warrior accessory.

Afterwards it was... interesting.

So, whatever pattern it is that the Hallow and Corruption (Crimson in my case) spawn, it either doesn't originate where it's supposed to, or something is tremendously weird about it. If it originates from under the map's center, then it's an "X", judging by the placement of the new Crimson segment. Which means that I'm basically SOL for Hallow, because the upper half of the Hallowed side of the X ends up in a Crimson Frost biome, which I've takes steps to isolate from the mainland beforehand. So I guess it's mass purification time.

Smashed three Altars already, thankfully a few were in memorable places nearby. Got Cobalt, Mythril, and Titanium. Neat. Cobalt armor is worse than Molten. No surprise there. I even managed to luck on a whole set of Ancient Cobalt gear in the jungle before Hardmode, and it's hardly any different.

First night was a Blood Moon, which meant that my ship was beset upon by harpies. (No "luck dragons" so far) After quickly closing all doors, the ship was hastily abandoned to prevent damage to the crew. Spent the night doing damage control on the Crimson spread, following the surface branch of the new protrusion down and leftward, separating the center "island" from the spread. Hopefully. Got about a quarter of the way through.

New enemies are... fun. Wacky, even. New weapons are likewise. Got myself a shotgun to replace the Boomstick, and a stack of explosive bullets. Damn near killed myself from trying to use it in close quarters.

So, all in all... yeah, it's going to be harder to live in the world. Once I get the Crimson under control (I'm thinking a pair of bomb-hewn Hellevators on the sides of the pattern should do the trick), we'll see about if it's more fun.

Yeah, the crimson/corruption and hallow both spawn in a diagonal lign, in different directions each. That can result in either an X, V, or ^ shape.

I'm aiming for the Destroyer at the moment, and I think I have a skybox that can deal with him. The only issue at the moment is that the tremendous amount of DPS causes an incredible number of probes to spawn, which in turn kills me as I'm only wearing Crimtane armor. However, I have a feeling that Molten would allow me to tank the damage better, and I'm gonna reforge everything for more defense. Prehardmode equipment farming of destroyer HO. Thank you lucky jungle temple layout giving me spiked balls and stuff.

Meteor armor get! Infinite lasers mode activate. 

[SOLDIER First]

So, wait, you can use Meteor Armor for infinite mana?
I had it once before, in, like, 2012.

[Darvi]

No, only for space gun with no mana cost.

Ancient Cobalt armor isn't actually a cobalt Cobalt gear equivalent It's the old version of jungle armor.

Melee cobalt setup's... one more point of defense than molten, and 15% melee speed instead of 17% melee damage for the set bonus, on top of the base armor bonuses (so 17% melee damage vs. 27% melee speed (if it's just added, anyway), 17% movement speed, and 3% crit, total.). The other hats have less defense, but appropriate style effects. It's certainly statistically better, overall... fairly notably so. Mythril+ definitely goes further in terms of base defense, though.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh.

My fav of the hardmode ore armor was oricalcum that flower petal was godly in pvp with a shotgun also it look good with my Ghost Wings I still use it as my vanity item with my Hallowed Set
