Terraria tips for gathering, crafting, exploration, and making money. Use Hunter & Spelunker Potions often.
Tips
- Use Hunter Potions to reveal enemies and Spelunker Potions to reveal ore/life crystals. These significantly speed up gathering, especially when searching for NPCs to rescue.
- Set up distinct crafting areas: one for equipment (workbench, anvil) and another for potions (bottle/alchemy table). Keep a chest nearby for ores and potion ingredients to enable crafting in bulk.
- Create a specialized crafting area for stations like the Sawmill and Loom to access less common recipes without cluttering your main crafting menu.
- Consider crafting a Glass Kiln and replacing your Furnace with it. It functions as a Furnace and allows crafting of glass items. Move it to your specialized crafting area once you obtain a Hardmode T3 crafting forge.
- Sell items frequently, as most can be re-acquired easily and money is needed for various purposes. Avoid selling building materials, as they have low sell value and are useful for building.
- Use explosives for exploration, as destroyed blocks can be recreated. Limit explosive use in your Underground Jungle to avoid hindering progression.
