Terraria discussion thread

A few gems and some ore create magic staves. Also, if you can make a robe vanity outfit, you can combine the robe with gems to create a magic one. Each type of gem gives a different amount of power to your items also, they aren't all considered equal. Emerald Robe gives you +60 mana for example and some other perk I think.

Much obliged. I actually found out about the staves before seeing this comment, but I had no idea that you could combine the gems with the vanity robe to get stat bonus versions of the robe. That's excellent news.

Me and my friend are taking our advent re slow and steady, so as to enjoy trying to find as many new things as possible. Before we stopped for the night, we found an area that was filled with spider sacks, webs everywhere, and deadly "crawlers" all over the place, all surrounding a single decrepit chest that held a "Web Slinger", which lets you hookshot with 8 different legs. Pretty freaking awesome. I also found a "Chain Knife" from a Cave Bat. Essentially a melee weapon with long reach.

I can't wait until all these new things get added to the wiki, so I can check everything out myself.
