Chlorophyte Explained

The Chlorophyte is a Hardmode ore in the Underground Jungle biome. Upon defeating the Wall of Flesh and entering Hardmode, it’ll spawn and spread through Mud blocks. It’s similar in terms of behavior as Crimson, Corruption, and Hallow biomes convert blocks, albeit with variable speed.

Even though you can find Chlorophyte Ores in the world, you can’t mine it until you have at least 200 Pickaxe Power. The Drax or Pickaxe Axe can do just that, but defeating all three mechanical bosses is a must to get both tools’ crafting pieces. Once you have the necessary materials, you can now start mining.

When traversing the Underground Jungle, we recommend equipping a pair of Wings and a reliable Mount. The Ancient Horn (that spawns a damaging Basilisk Mount on maximum movement) is a perfect example. Hooks are more than welcome to refresh your Wings’ flight duration.

Since spotting Chlorophyte can get tricky, add Spelunker Potions to your Inventory. You can make one by bringing Bottled Water, Blinkroot, Gold Ore, and Moonglow at an Alchemy Table. The Placed Bottle crafting station will also do, but resource return is not guaranteed.

Mining and Farming Unlimited Chlorophyte

When mining, don’t take every piece. Since Chlorophyte can spread through Mud Blocks, it’s best to leave a small amount so you can gather more later. You can repeat the same process near your base. Here are the steps:

1. Construct your Chlorophyte Farm in the Cavern layer. The distance will depend on your world size. Equipping the Depth Meter accessory or listening to the background music will determine if you’re in the said location.

2. As you’re using Mud Blocks, beware of the spread of Crimson, Corruption, or Hallow biome. It’ll ruin your farm, yielding you negative results. We recommend protecting it with bricks or any other non-corruptible blocks. Otherwise, purge the evil biome with our comprehensive guide here.

3. Your farm in Terraria must be 7×7 in height and width. Those blocks shall then be 40 blocks apart to facilitate a faster growth rate, albeit the percentage isn’t consistent.

What Can You Do With Chlorophyte in Terraria?

There are good and a few excellent items you can make in-game. But first, you need an Adamantite or Titanium Forge to smelt Chlorophyte Ores into Bars. To make one, combine 1 Hellforge with 30 Adamantite Ores or Titanium Ores.

Here are some of the best picks we have when synthesizing Chlorophyte Bars:

1. Drill Containment Unit

Materials to Bring	40 Chlorophyte Bars, Hellstone Bars, Meteorite Bars, Luminite Bars, Shroomite Bars & Spectre Bars
Crafting Station	Mythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

This unique mount lets you dig extremely quickly without needing any Pickaxe or Drill. It offers the strongest mining power and speed in Terraria. However, using any buff potions won’t stack, which is good for saving resources.

If you haven’t made Hellevators to contain the Crimson or Corruption biome, you should make the Drill Containment Unit.

2. Chlorophyte Bullets

Materials to Bring	1 Chlorophyte Bar & 70 Musket Balls
Crafting Station	Mythril Anvil / Orichalcum

Is it hard to aim in boss fights? Crafting Chlorophyte Bullets in Terraria makes everything easier in Terraria, especially if you’re a ranged user. With more focus, you can exploit Hoiks and Teleporters easily with little attention to pay.

While the bullet may sound like a game-changer, Terraria has to balance things out. One of them is lesser damage, making fights a tad bit longer than if you’re using other types.

3. True Excalibur

Materials to Bring (Terra Blade upgrade)	1 Broken Hero Sword, True Night’s Edge, True Excalibur
Crafting Station	Mythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

Making the True Excalibur in Terraria is mandatory if you adapt close-range gameplay. Not only can it hit six bodies in one strike, but it’s also essential for crafting a stronger sword, the Terra Blade.

The True Excalibur is one of the best weapons to wield during the Solar Eclipse event. Not to mention, you’ll get the Broken Hero Sword crafting material to complete your upgrade!

4. Turtle armor set

Materials to Bring	3 Turtle Shells & 54 Chlorophyte Bars
Crafting Station	Mythril Anvil / Orichalcum Anvil

Imagine the Pre-Hardmode Cactus armor set but buffed. That’s what the promising Turtle armor counterpart offers when you save enough ingredients to craft the set.

Wearing every piece gives you +750 aggro, +15% damage reduction (on desktop, mobile, and console versions), +14% melee attack, and +12% melee crit chance. Moreover, the Thorns effect deals double damage to enemies, which makes you last longer in Multiplayer boss fights in Master Mode.

Note: Chlorophyte Bars also let you craft the Chlorophyte armor set. Overall, the Hallowed armor is better because of its passive set bonus, allowing you to dodge enemy attacks.

How to Combine Accessories

What is Platinum in Terraria?

Platinum is a rare ore beloved by Terraria players as it enables them to create items that help them advance in the game. Its versatility allows you to craft Bricks and the Spelunker Potion. Additionally, smelting them into bars using the Furnace will enable you to create a wide range of armor, furniture, accessories, tools, and weapons.

Where to Find Platinum In Terraria?

To acquire Platinum in Terraria, you must equip yourself with the essential tools for mining, such as Pickaxes and Drills. Additionally, you can use Mining Potion and Spelunker Potion to spot and get this valuable material. See the list below to learn more:

Underground

The Underground is the first and largest layer below the Surface and has a distinctive brown backdrop. This layer is predominantly of dirt, but you can also find Silt, Clay, Ores, and even low-tier gems as you dig deeper. Keep an eye out for Platinum, as this precious material can be found here and mined using the mentioned tools.

Cavern

The Cavern is below the Underground and extends towards the Underworld. This layer is adorned with a darker stone backdrop and is mainly composed of Stone blocks where you can find Underground Cabins and mini-biomes. It’s also rich in resources such as ores, gems, and chests that contain valuable items.

To mine Platinum in the Cavern, you must explore and dig tunnels throughout this layer. Make sure to equip yourself with the essential tools to dig through the domain and acquire this valuable ore. To speed up your search, consider using helpful potions to boost your mining abilities.

Floating Islands

Floating Islands in Terraria are elevated landmasses found high above the Surface. Exploring the upper regions of your world using Wings, Gravitation, or Teleportation Potions can help you locate these structures. Then, you can fish for Sky Crates in Floating Lakes, find them in Skyware Chests, or mine them on the island to get Platinum.

See the table below on how many islands there are and the approximate height of Floating Islands on different Map Sizes:

Map Size	Height	Maximum number of Islands
Small	125 to 300 tiles250 to 300 ft.	3
Medium	225 to 400 tiles450 to 800 ft.	5
Large	325 to 600 tiles650 to 1200 ft.	6

Note: If you don’t have any Wings, you can reach the Floating Island by building a staircase made from wood platforms or using rope to go up. You can also use Hooks to propel yourself upward by grabbing onto the high structures you’ve created.

Crates

Acquiring Platinum in Terraria is challenging due to its rarity, but you’re not limited to Mining. You can also get this material from fishing Pre-Hardmode and Hardmode Crates, which have drop rates of 1.79% and 0.89%, respectively, in all modes. However, they have a 5% chance of appearing in Golden Crates and a 2.5% chance in Titanium Crates.

See the Table below for the list of Hardmode and Pre-Hardmode Crates‘ fishing locations:

Pre-Hardmode Crates	Hardmode Crates	Spawning Points
Corrupt	Defiled	Corruption biome
Crimson	Hematic	Crimson biome
Dungeon	Stockade	Dungeon after defeating Skeletron
Frozen	Boreal	Ice & Snow biome
Golden	Titanium	Any biome and layer
Hallowed	Divine	Hallow
Jungle	Bramble	Jungle
Oasis	Mirage	Desert
Obsidian	Hellstone	Lava
Ocean	Seaside	Ocean biome
Sky	Azure	Floating Lakes in Space

Defeat Slimes

Did you know that Slimes not only hold banners and coins? They also have valuable treasures, including the coveted ore you’re after. As you kill these enemies, keep a close eye on certain Slimes with a 5% chance of dropping bonus items.

Check out the table below to know what type of Slimes have bonus drops:

Slime	Bonus Drop Item	Quantity
• Green • Red • Blue • Yellow • Purple • Black • Baby • Jungle • Pinky	Platinum Ore (3.125% drop rate in all modes)	3 to 13 pieces

Other Ways to Get Platinum

If you’re having a hard time acquiring this item in Terraria through Mining, you can craft it yourself by following this recipe in the table:

Item	Ingredients	Crafting Station
Platinum Ore	Gold Ore (1) Cobalt Ore (1)	Chlorophyte Extractinator (via conversion)
		Shimmer (tossing the item to the liquid)

Analyzing Individual Pre-Hardmode Armor Sets

Here are all items we’re using in this tier list. Before finalizing, we applied the following criteria:

• Defense
• Overall stats
• Difficulty to obtain

The first and second criteria are self-explanatory, as those are key factors in knowing whether one is better than the other. On the other hand, the third criterion talks about what it would take to acquire a specific set. After all, some items are acquirable in late Pre-Hardmode in Terraria while being outperformed by others.

1. Molten armor

Combining all items from the Molten set equates to:

• +25 defense
• +7% melee critical strike chance
• +7% melee damage
• +7% melee attack speed

Wearing everything grants +10% melee damage and immunity to the On Fire! debuff (desktop, mobile, console) / +17% melee damage (3DS, old-gen consoles).

The Molten armor set is something you’ll get before fighting the Wall of Flesh. For fighters in Terraria, traversing the Underworld is tricky, especially when mining Hellstone Ores. A couple of Lava drowning may sting, but the armor is worth obtaining. One caveat, though, is it’s not the best for other classes. But you can freely mix and match!

2. Crimson armor

The set bonus from wearing all Crimson armor pieces is increased life regeneration. Overall, you’ll also gain:

• +19 defense
• +9% universal damage (desktop, mobile, console) / +6% universal damage (3DS, old-gen consoles).

On a normal Terraria playthrough, you’ll most likely have this set after acquiring an ore-based or Cactus armor. However, you’ll need tons of preparation since every piece’s ingredients are dropped after defeating the Eye of Cthulhu and Brain of Cthulhu.

Note that this armor set focuses on your melee capabilities and can last until late Pre-Hardmode. At this point, you should search for an alternative, like Obsidian or Molten armor. If you’re outside the Fighter class, there are other options for you, and mix and matching is still viable.

The Crimson armor deserves this spot because of how tanky you can get and the bonus HP regeneration. Not as durable as the Molten armor, but you can exchange that for something slightly better if you have no Potions.

3. Ancient Shadow and Shadow armor

The Corruption counterpart to the Crimson armor is an alternative Pre-Hardmode armor set you can wear in your Terraria gameplay. With all pieces on your accessory slot, you’ll gain the following bonuses:

• +19 defense
• +15% universal critical strike chance (desktop, mobile, console) / +21% melee attack speed (3DS, old-gen consoles)

In all game versions, you’ll gain +15% movement speed and acceleration.

We’ve talked about how the Crimson armor can make you tanky with its health regeneration bonus. However, the Corruption counterpart also belongs to the same tier, but it’s a matter of playstyle difference.

It’s important to remember that wearing the Shadow armor means you have to go all out. You can swap your mobility and flight-enabling accessories for offensive and defensive ones to help you delete enemies faster. But we recommend pairing this armor set in Terraria with a high damage weapon, as the damage boost isn’t present.

4. Necro armor

This post-Skeletron set has a bonus of +10% ranged critical strike chance (desktop, mobile, console) / -20% ammo consumption (3DS, old-gen consoles). Equipping all pieces in Terraria grants:

• +19 defense (desktop, mobile, console) / +16 defense (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• +15% ranged damage

Note that you can interchange some parts of the Necro armor without affecting its base stats.

Although it’s one of two sets that provide a ranged bonus, we’re confident it deserves to be in the S-Tier. This consideration is for users who use guns and arrows before finally getting better sets in Hardmode. By all means, it’s better than the Fossil armor, which may take a lot of time and risk to acquire.

5. Obsidian armor

Each part gives a total:

• +15 defense
• +1 max minion
• +16% summon damage

A set bonus of +30% whip range, +15% whip speed, and +15% summon damage is also guaranteed. Overall, you’ll end up at +31% summon damage.

Obsidian armor is the best possible summoner-based equipment you can have. Down the hierarchy is the Bee armor, which is a decent alternative, although only great once you get the Imp Staff. This is the perfect gear if you want to defeat the Etherian Army easily. But as soon as Hardmode starts, look for stronger alternatives.

Note that if you have a melee attack speed buff from external factors, it’ll stack to the existing +15% whip speed. Combine it with any summoning Staff and Turrets, and you’ll be unstoppable!

1. Ancient Cobalt and Jungle Armor

Equipping each piece in your accessory slot will give you the following effects:

• +17 defense (desktop, mobile, console) / +15 defense (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• +80 Max Mana (desktop, mobile, console) / +60 Max Mana (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• +12% magic critical strike chance (desktop, mobile, console) / +9% magic critical strike chance (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• +6% magic damage (desktop, mobile, console only)

Overall, in all Terraria versions, this Pre-Hardmode armor grants a set bonus of -16% mana costs for casting any magic weapon.

Some players may prefer Meteor armor in their Terraria gameplay, and it’s okay. However, the Jungle/Ancient Cobalt set is better because you’ll likely not use the Space Gun. For context, the weapon deals less damage than other magic weapons, albeit you can use it infinitely while having the Meteor armor.

There are better magic weapons that exist in Pre-Hardmode, like the Demon Scythe and Gray Zapinator. Sure, you’ll run out of mana, but you can always have Potions and buffs applied. Another argument may come from Zapinators costing no mana to use with the Meteor armor, but it’s worth considering the critical strike chance and battle longevity.

2. Bee armor

The Bee armor is one of two summoner gears you can have in Pre-Hardmode Terraria. Aside from its set bonus, +10% summon damage, each part will give:

• +13 defense
• +13% summon damage
• +2 max minions

Combined with the set bonus is a finalized +23% summon damage.

The Bee armor deserves the A-Tier spot because you’ll rely on your minions aside from conventional weapons. The best you can get is the Imp Staff, which you’ll need Hellstone Ores and Obsidian to craft. Moreover, having the latter ingredient means you can upgrade to the Obsidian set, giving you more ways to deal damage.

Pre-Hardmode Terraria has limited weapon choices, so ask yourself if you want to go one-on-one with the Wall of Flesh using Night’s Edge and Imps.

1. Meteor armor

The Meteor armor’s set bonus in Terraria is impressive, making Space Gun, Gray Zapinator, and Orange Zapinator cost no mana while using. On top of that, you’ll also get the following benefits:

• +16 defense
• +27% magic damage (desktop, mobile, console) / +21% magic damage (3DS, old-gen consoles)

Most Terraria players opt for this Pre-Hardmode armor set and Space Gun for unlimited usage. The problem we see with this is how lengthy a boss fight is supposed to be. Sure, if you get lucky and buy the Gray Zapinator, that’s around 50 magic damage. However, the use time is slow, which you should consider.

Overall, this set’s strength is amazing for offense, but you must pick the right weapon. Otherwise, you’ll most likely lose against a boss fight, especially in Expert Mode and Master Mode if you’re unlucky.

2. Fossil armor

Once you equip the full armor set in Terraria, you’ll get the following bonuses:

• +13 defense
• +8% ranged critical strike chance
• +5% ranged damage

Moreover, ammo usage has a 20% conservation rate.

Like its Necro counterpart, the Fossil set offers similar perks if you use ranged weapons. The sole difference is the values at which the former wins. However, it’s surprising that getting the Sturdy Fossil is slightly risky and tricky since you’ll deal with Antlion swarms and falling Sands! So, is it worth it? Slightly, but Gi is a good alternative.

1. Gladiator armor

If you’re lucky to find all pieces of the Gladiator armor set, you’ll get +16 defense and Knockback Immunity.

We placed this set at the top of C-Tier because it’s a superior choice to Platinum and Gold armor. It’s also great with Obsidian Shield or Cobalt Shield, which are surprisingly a drop from Gold Chests and Golden Lock Boxes available in Pre-Hardmode. For tank users, this is a good bet if they don’t have better gear.

2. Platinum armor

Wearing every piece of this set will give you +16 defense and a +4 defense bonus, totaling +20 defense.

If you find Platinum Ores and turn them into Bars, it’s better to craft them into something else. This Pre-Hardmode armor set is extremely outperformed in terms of unique bonuses. Moreover, finding Platinum Ores will take ages versus defeating a boss and then mining Meteorites or evil biomes for their corresponding sets.

3. Gold armor

The Gold armor set gives +13 defense, with a +3 defense bonus, totaling +16 defense. While the crafting material is a Platinum counterpart, the +4 defense difference isn’t worth it. We don’t recommend using the set and reserve Gold Ores for crafting other items.

4. Tungsten armor

Overall, you’ll get +12 defense with a set bonus of +3 defense, totaling +15 defense. Although it offers +2 defense than its Silver counterpart, we still recommend skipping this armor.

5. Silver armor

Upon wearing this Pre-Hardmode armor set in Terraria, you’re set for a +10 defense, totaling to +13 defense because of the +3 defense bonus. Although it’s the counterpart to Tungsten, we don’t recommend an ore-based defense unless it’s the current best option. Otherwise, you can rely on better armor sets, like the Jungle or Meteor variants.

1. Ninja armor

Although it’s an interesting piece, the Ninja armor set is the first of many items in D-Tier. A combination of all parts will grant you the following:

• +9 defense
• +9% universal critical strike chance

Alongside is a set bonus, giving you +20% movement speed.

The Ninja armor set isn’t bad, considering it’s a loot from the early Pre-Hardmode. But with the current gameplay trend, players will most likely head straight to Crimson or Shadow gears unless they’re playing Expert Mode and Master Mode. We recommend upgrading to the Crystal Assassin set once you reach Hardmode.

Overall, this equipment’s defense is decent. If you’re to compare the Ninja armor to other items above, you’ll notice a tiny difference in tankiness. But in most cases, you’ll need that extra points to survive, especially in a more challenging gameplay.

2. Snow and Pink Snow armor

We don’t want to be pessimistic, but the Snow and Pink Snow armor set is in a similar state to its Rain counterpart. The only difference is the former being more useful than the latter. But looking at a wider perspective, we don’t recommend using any of them unless you have no choice.

Wearing the interchangeable pieces of Snow and Pink armor set in Terraria grants you the following:

• +9 defense (desktop, mobile, console) / +4 defense (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• Immunity to Chilled and Frozen debuffs (a set bonus)

Note: Snow and Pink Snow armor doesn’t grant the set bonus in 3DS and old-gen consoles versions of Terraria.

1. Angler armor

Based on this Pre-Hardmode armor set’s general stats, we consider it a piece of situational equipment. Wearing all individual parts in Terraria will grant you:

• +4 defense
• +15 Fishing Power

Alongside is a set bonus, where enemy spawn rates and the maximum number of enemies are reduced to 23% and 30%, respectively. Unfortunately, this effect doesn’t exist in the 3DS and old-gen console versions of Terraria, so we suggest being more careful.

With sentries and minions, fishing in Pre-Hardmode is easy. However, you must upgrade your weapons since they’re not so good in Hardmode. Wyverns, in particular, are deadly if the Angler sends you to a Sky Lake to catch something. You’ll likely have the Night’s Edge or Imp Staff at that point, but it’ll still be a struggle.

As a countermeasure, having Peace Candles or fishing near NPCs is what we recommend. Up your offensive defenses and prepare for worm-like Wyverns. If you do that, the Angler set’s fishing power boost will become the best advantage!

2. Mining armor

Note that the Mining armor set allows you to interchange with the Ultrabright Helmet. Equipping all pieces in Terraria will grant you the following stats:

• +4 defense (with Mining Helmet in desktop, mobile, console) / +3 defense (with Mining Helmet in 3DS, old-gen consoles)
• +6 defense (with Ultrabright Helmet)
• +20% Mining Speed
• Small, portable light source (with Mining Helmet)
• Big, portable light source (with Ultrabright Helmet)

A set bonus of +10% Mining Speed is also guaranteed, totaling +30% Mining Speed in Terraria.

This Pre-Hardmode armor set’s stats speak for its usefulness throughout your gameplay. Are Crimson and Corruption spreading to your world? Make Hellevators. Need to remove large chunks of Stone Blocks for building? You can do so in a short time. However, using the Mining armor is situational. Plus, you’ll need to defend yourself to maximize your effort.

We’re placing this gear in E-Tier because while you may spend lots of time digging in Pre-Hardmode, you’ll need better equipment and tools. You’ll first come across Shadow, Meteor, Crimson, or Molten sets to acquire the best Pickaxe in the current mode. Before defeating Wall of Flesh is where the Mining armor will shine! It’s even useful in Hardmode!

Portable storage containing Slice of Cake and Mining Potions is excellent for the armor set. Moreover, Luminite Pickaxes and Shroomite Digging Claw (with insane digging speed modified by Light) finish the job faster! Don’t forget to place sentries and summon your minions for defense while doing so.

3. Lead armor

Overall, you’ll get +8 defense if you wear all pieces, with a +3 defense bonus that totals in +11 defense. We don’t recommend using this Pre-Hardmode armor set in Terraria once you have better tools to find alternatives.

4. Iron armor

With all pieces in your accessory slot, you’ll gain +7 defense, totaling +9 defense because of the +2 defense set bonus. The Iron Helmet and Ancient Iron Helmet are interchangeable without affecting the stats.

Overall, we don’t recommend equipping this armor set if you have better options.

5. Pumpkin armor

Wearing all pieces of the Pumpkin armor set will grant you +7 defense and a bonus of +10% universal damage.

We suggest scouring the world to find wild Pumpkins if it’s Halloween. You can skip most Wooden armor variants and have this equipment instead. But if you need to fight a Pre-Hardmode Boss to buy Pumpkin Seeds from the Dryad, stick to better alternatives.

If you have excellent mobility, the Pumpkin armor set is even better than its Platinum counterpart. The extra damage for ranged and magic users is the best part, although using melee weapons can be risky.

6. Cactus armor

Wearing this Pre-Hardmode armor set in Terraria gives you the following:

• +3 defense (desktop, mobile, console) / +4 defense (3DS, old-gen consoles)
• Damages an enemy upon contact and inflicts +10 Knockback (desktop, mobile, console versions only)

There’s a good chance you’ll encounter the Desert biome after traveling for a little while on Day 1. We strongly suggest converting Cacti blocks to Cactus armor because of its unique damage reflection.

7. Tin armor

Equipping the Tin armor will provide you +5 defense, totaling to +7 defense because of the set bonus +2 defense. Skip this armor set.

8. Copper armor

Equipping this Pre-Hardmode armor set grants a total of +6 defense. Once again, we recommend skipping Copper armor.

9. Shadewood and Ebonwood armor

While the Shadewood and Ebonwood armor gives +5 defense(+1 defense set bonus), we also don’t find it great to equip. You can find both equipment in the Crimson and Corruption biome, so there’s no need to bother chopping trees and head straight to metal variants.

1. Ash Wood armor

Once the Ash Wood set is in your accessory slot, you’ll have +7 defense. The set bonus consists of -50% lava contact damage and -3.5s duration upon getting the debuff On Fire!

While the Ash Wood set is the most powerful Pre-Hardmode wooden armor variant, it’s useless and laughable, progression-wise. In normal gameplay, better options exist. The materials you need to craft the Ash Wood armor are also in the Underworld – where Obsidian and Molten sets are also obtainable!

Despite its abundance in Don’t dig up and Get fixed boi world seeds, this equipment has further nerfs. However, we think it’s still better than other Pre-Hardmode armor sets in this tier.

2. Boreal Wood, Rich Mahogany, and Palm Wood armor

Among non-evil, Wooden armor sets in Terraria, Boreal Wood, Rich Mahogany, and Palm Wood variants tied up in stats. Equipping any set grants you +3 defense with a bonus +1 defense, totaling +4 defense. While it’s better than your standard Wood armor, we recommend skipping this armor set.

3. Rain armor

The Rain armor in Terraria is the only set that provides no bonus after you wear all pieces. Although Raincoat Zombies are common during a Rainy Day, even with the drop rate balancing, it’s worse than most Wooden armor sets. If you get it earlier than the Wood set, great. But we see no difference with the +3 defense it offers.

4. Wood armor

At the bottom of the F-Tier is the Wood armor set. In all versions, it gives +3 defense. The bonus in desktop, mobile, and console versions doesn’t make a difference. Still, it’s better than nothing, but it’s the worst stats-wise. Try not to be sentimental about this armor set.

Conclusion

We hope we’re helpful in guiding you on which Pre-Hardmode armor sets to choose in Terraria! Remember that trying out the good ones will offer a unique experience and may not align with our ranking. However, we’re confident you’ll find the best ones for your playstyle.

Special Property	Inflicts the Poisoned Debuff. Also releases a projectile when swung that chases enemies.

The Blade of Grass is a melee weapon in Terraria that can pierce enemies and autoswing. When using the melee weapon against enemies, you’ll inflict the Poisoned debuff, giving them a 25% chance of being poisoned for seven seconds.

This remarkable weapon throws a leaf-shaped projectile with green particle effects that deal damage equal to 25% of its base damage and can pass through a single enemy.

Its ability to automatically target nearby enemies within a radius of nine tiles is truly impressive. No need to worry about aiming precisely – this weapon’s got you covered! Additionally, it boasts +20 Armor Penetration, making sure that even well-armored enemies in Terraria will feel its sting.

Blade of Grass Recipe

Materials	Crafting Station
• Jungle Spores (15 (desktop, mobile, console) / 12 (3DS, old-gen consoles))  • Stinger (12 (desktop, mobile, console) / 15 (3DS, old-gen consoles))  • Vine (3)	Iron Anvil / Lead Anvil

Stingers are abundant in the Underground Jungle, where killing Dragon Hornets (50%), Hornets (66%), Moss Hornets (16.67%), and Spiked Jungle Slimes will yield the material. Expect higher drop rates if you play on Expert Mode and Master Mode, where Hornets and Spiked Jungle Slimes always guarantee the reward.

While exploring the same location in Terraria, you may encounter glowing green Jungle Spores. These are harmless, and you can destroy them. The final ingredient – Vines – is a drop from Man Eaters (50% (Classic) / 100% (Expert & Master)).

Item Upgrade

You can upgrade this weapon to a Night’s Edge. Through normal gameplay, you’ll encounter evil biomes, Dungeons, and the Underground. Spending some time in each location allows you to obtain the following materials:

Result	Materials	Crafting Station
Night’s Edge	• Blade of Grass (1) • Blood Butcherer (1) / Light’s Bane (1)  • Muramasa (1)  • Volcano (1)	Crimson Altar / Demon Altar

Tips and Tricks

The enemies that drop Stingers, like Hornets and Spiked Jungle Slimes, become rarer in their spawns. However, the Moss Hornet became more prevalent, even though it doesn’t drop Stingers (3DS, old-gen consoles).

Nevertheless, the sword remains an impressive weapon in Terraria, ranking as the second-largest sword you can wield in the pre-Hardmode phase, only surpassed by the Volcano.

What is Silk?

The item is a crafting material in Terraria, with main purpose in crafting Bed. You may also make several vanity items, weapons, and armor sets.

How to Obtain Silk

Head to the Cavern layer and destroy Cobwebs. You can use seven of them to make a Silk at the Loom. Once you have a Bed and a housing, you can skip to daytime without worrying to monster attacks. You can also make the following items if you have spare Silks:

WHAT IS A BAIT?

Baits are essential for Fishing, allowing you to reel in fishing lines to catch different types of fish, crates, and items in Terraria. Moreover, there’s a wide variety of Bait options you can choose from in the form of Critters, Jellyfish, NPC, and Crate rewards. To use this item, you must have this in your inventory as you cast your Fishing pole to increase your chances of getting a catch. 

ACQUIRING BAITS 

Acquiring Baits is crucial for a successful fishing experience in Terraria. Fortunately, there’s one tool that can help you catch almost all of these items to increase your chances of reeling in the best catches. Keep reading this guide to learn more about this amazing tool!

Bug Net 

A Bug Net is a valuable tool that allows you to capture various critters in Terraria which you can use as Bait. To obtain this important item, you can buy it from the Mechant for 1 Gold Coin (3DS, old-gen consoles) or 25 Silver Coins (desktop, mobile, console). It can also be upgraded to a Golden or Lavaproof Bug Net to capture Underworld critters like the Lavafly, Magma Snail, and Hell Butterfly.

What is Feral Claws?

Feral Claws is one of seven melee offensive accessories in Terraria. Once you equip the item, you’ll gain a 12% attack speed bonus while additively stacking with other boosts.

A feature exclusive to desktop, mobile, and console versions offers a game-changing advantage. All melee weapons, including Whips, can now autoswing. With the new feature, you can spam attack enemies in Terraria with limited damage on your end. It’s perfect for the Breaker Blade, in particular, where you can hold off invasions and events.

How to Get Feral Claws

When Fishing, you may sometimes obtain Bramble Crates and Jungle Crates, with a 19% chance of dropping the accessory. Those items are rare, but you can increase their spawning chance using a Crate Potion. Alternatively, you may get the Feral Claws randomly by opening an Ivy Chest (21.72% (desktop, mobile, console) / 23.68% (3DS, old-gen consoles)).

You can find both Crates and Chest in the Jungle biome.

Item Upgrade

Result	Materials	Crafting Station
Power Glove	• Feral Claws (1) •Titan Glove (1)	Tinkerer’s Workshop

The Power Glove is an upgrade to Feral Claws, freeing up an accessory slot while getting better stats.

Once you defeat Mimics in Terraria, they will drop a Titan Glove (16.67% (desktop, mobile, console, 3DS) / 14.29% (old-gen consoles)). Meanwhile, you can purchase the Tinkerer’s Workshop for 10 Gold Coins from the Tinkerer.

What is a Tissue Sample?

A Tissue Sample is a Crimson-exclusive crafting material in Terraria. You can make 12 uniquely themed items, alongside Crimtane Bars, that are usually upgrades to basic tools in Pre-Hardmode.

Almost every monster in the Crimson biome drops Vertebra – another important component for making several boss-summoning materials. However, only the Brain of Cthulhu and its Creepers drop Tissue Samples.

The table below shows all entities dropping the item in all modes, with their corresponding quantities and chances:

	Entity/Entities	Drop Chance	Quantity
Classic	• Creeper	• 66.67%	• 2 – 5
Expert	• Creeper • Brain of Cthulhu Treasure Bag	• 66.67% • 100%	• 1 – 3 • 20 – 40
Master	• Creeper • Brain of Cthulhu Treasure Bag	• 50% • 100%	• 1 – 2 • 30 – 50

Note that Creepers dropping the item decrease in chance the harder mode in Terraria the player’s in. We recommend preparing an arena by placing cheap Platforms inside the Underground Crimson. Consider the following items as well:

• Campfires
• Banners from biome entities
• Torches
• Ropes

It’s unnecessary to defeat the Brain of Cthulhu during combat, as its minions always drop Tissue Samples. However, you can expect more rewards for defeating the boss.

Alternatively, you can insert a Shadow Scale to get a Tissue Sample from the Chlorophyte Extractinator.

Crafting

Here are all items you can make with the Tissue Sample:

Result	Materials	Crafting Station
Shadow Scale	• Tissue Sample (1)	Chlorophyte Extractinator (converted)
Void Bag	• Bone (30) • Jungle Spores (15) • Tissue Sample (30)	Demon Altar / Crimson Altar
Void Vault	• Bone (15) • Jungle Spores (8) • Tissue Sample (15)
Obsidian Longcoat	• Obsidian (20) • Silk (10) • Tissue Sample (10)	Hellforge
Obsidian Outlaw Hat	• Obsidian (20) • Silk (10) • Tissue Sample (5)
Obsidian Pants	• Obsidian (20) • Silk (10) • Tissue Sample (5)
Crimson Greaves	• Crimtane Bar (20) • Tissue Sample (15)	Iron Anvil / Lead Anvil
Crimson Helmet	• Crimtane Bar (15) • Tissue Sample (10)
Crimson Scalemail	• Crimtane Bar (25) • Tissue Sample (20)
Deathbringer Pickaxe	• Crimtane Bar (12) • Tissue Sample (6)
Flesh Grinder	• Crimtane Bar (10) • Tissue Sample (5)
The Meatball	• Crimtane Bar (10) • Tissue Sample (5)

Chests – Explained

Chests can hold up to 40 item stacks if you play on desktop, mobile, console, and 3DS versions. That value is halved in old-gen consoles. You can remove them using a Pickaxe or a Drill once they’re fully emptied . But be wary if you’re renovating since you can’t destroy the ground beneath.

Overall, there are 42 Chest variants in Terraria, with 27 craftable and 20 naturally occurring.

Making a Chest Easily

You can craft your first Chest even at early Pre-Hardmode. Here’s how:

Items Needed	Crafting Station
• Wood (8) • Lead Bar or Iron Bar (2)	Work Bench

Since you almost always spawn in the Forest, you can chop nearby trees. Dig down to find Lead or Iron Ores, and smelt them into Bars using a Furnace. You can make a Furnace with Any Wood type (4), Stone Block (20), and Torch (3). Lastly, you can make a Work Bench with Wood (10).

Alternatively, if you’re having a hard time getting Ores, you might be lucky to encounter Living Trees and Caves. Those places usually have Chests with good loot. Make sure to take them with you!
