Terraria discussion thread

I really dislike that the revamped Hard Mode heavily encourages Ranged / Magic, as if Spectre Armor wasn't obvious enough. I farmed the Hard Dungeon for a while and when I ran out of bullets for my MegaShark, I was getting destroyed just trying to melee.

Protip: Get the mushroom NPC asap. If you build a mushroom biome/house for him he can spawn immediately as soon as you enter hardmode. He sells one of the most powerful spears in the game for 30g. It pineapples up most enemies you'll come across and can hit through walls. This will buy you plenty of time before you get better melee gear.

It hits multiple times too cause it has a "spore" effect that lingers for a bit.
