However, this shortcut can be confusing for beginners or players using different devices. Continue reading this guide to learn how to Favorite items on different devices and their other alternatives!
Favorite Items Explained
Favorite items in Terraria are distinguishable by their blue serrated border surrounding the item’s icon.
