The Favorite feature in Terraria is a valuable function in the game that allows you to identify and keep your most prized possessions safe. 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. Once it’s marked, quick selling, trashing, and stacking are blocked, allowing you to have better control over your inventory management. However, you can still manually discard and sell the ones you’ve selected.

Terraria Bloody Tear: Everything You Should Know

Matt — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 07:44:56 +0000

You might’ve seen the Blood Moon in Terraria as your first few events aside from the Goblin Invasion. It’s where the surroundings turn into Crimson Red alongside hostiles knocking at your door. Isn’t it both fun and exciting?

After the night, everything will go back to normal. But there are several reasons you should summon the Blood Moon back – one of them is loot items!

In this guide, you’ll learn everything about the Bloody Tear – an item that enables the said event. We’ll also reveal how to get the item in the first place!

Bloody Tear – Overview

Bloody Tear is consumed when you want to initiate the Blood Moon event in Terraria. It only works at nighttime, so doing it in the daytime won’t consume the item nor affect the ongoing event (or begin a new one).

If the sky is clear (new Moon), the next phase it’ll take upon using is Waxing Crescent.

Although you can cast the Bloody Tear anytime, using it where the Frost Moon or Pumpkin Moon event is happening won’t do anything.

It’s noteworthy that the Bloody Tear can change the Moon’s phase. It’s relevant as acquiring phase-dependent content from the Skeleton Merchant is possible with the method.

How to Get a Bloody Tear?

There’s no other source for Bloody Tears to drop aside from event enemies. You must kill them first and shouldn’t be statue-dropped. Otherwise, you won’t get the item.

The following are every mob with their corresponding drop rate. Note that post-Blood Moon will diminish the percentage chance:

Common Blood Moon enemies (1%)
Blood Eel, Hemogoblin Shark, Wandering Eye Fish, and Zombie Merman (4%)
The Clown (10%)
The Groom and The Bride (20%)
Dreadnautilus (50% on normal, 100% on expert modes)

Terraria Tally Counter: Everything You Should Know (Full Guide 2022)

Matt — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 02:00:00 +0000

For many bloodthirsty players, it’s always a good show to display how many enemies they’ve bested. Of course, there’s no real benefit aside from bragging rights. Although, it’s also possible that some may like tracking their homework of slaying 10,000 monsters in a row. Who knows, Terraria players have always been creative.

As an answer to track kill counts, the Tally Counter exists. We’ll show you how exactly it works and how to get it in the first place.

Tally Counter – Overview

The Tally Counter is considered an Informational Accessory in Terraria. It generally displays your number of kills, which you can find under the map/health interface. Contrary to misconceptions, the kill count is considered during the world creation phase rather than when it was equipped.

The initial “Kill Count Unavailable” may be the first display, but engaging in combat will activate the Tally Counter. Note: The Informational Accessory combines all players’ kills per creature. It’s also noteworthy that the most recent monster struck by a player or Minions will appear in the same interface.

The accessory’s functionality won’t lose even when unequipped (unless put in the social slot). However, modifiers won’t take effect if not on the arsenal, so make sure to pick the best items to equip. There are exceptions when displaying kill counts, such as bosses and minor enemies.

Lastly, some Hardmode counterparts of pre-Hardmode enemies have shared tallies.

How to Get the Tally Counter?

There’s a 1% chance to get the item from Angry Bones, Dark Casters, and Cursed Skulls. These monsters are available at the Dungeon. You’ll need upfront effort for preparation since the Dungeon Guardian can one-hit you if you’re not careful. Best to defeat Skeletron first.

Item Upgrade

Upgrading the Tally Counter is possible and will turn into R.E.K. 3000. The new item gives exact and more in-depth details of nearby enemies, personal kill count, and rare creatures.

To make one R.E.K. 3000, stand near the Tinkerer’s Workshop and combine the following:

Lifeform Analyzer (1)
Radar (1)
Tally Counter (1)
