[Urist Imiknorris]

He explores more of the corruption and gets a magic weapon.

And learns that grappling hooks and clouds and suns still can't help you, if you straight jump down a chasm.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Water will save me! I hope there's water...

[nenjin]

At least we know gems have a purpose now. That's a good thing IMO. I just hope you can get a recipe book somewhere cause it was just PBats incopmpetence to sell the topazes that made him capable of creating the light saber in the first place.

This is really irking me too. By now, he should realize that all crafting is dependent on what's in your inventory. He completely skipped Demonite Armor, which I'm guessing is the Ninja suit looking thing. He assumes meteorite armor is better, which I'm guessing it's not, because you get meteorite immediately after killing your first Shadow Orb. I'm thinking Demonite Armor offers its own perks, like Meteorite offers mana regen. But it will be hard to know, because Pbat doesn't stop long enough to think before he decides what he's going to do. Spending 20 minutes loading up his inventory and checking some things could have yielded him some great equipment.

Oh well. Sans the "Dungeon" in the world, the floating islands and the Underground Jungle, I think we've seen most of the game's environments through Pbat's LP. Wouldn't be surprised if there are a few more though.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I think meteorite is better than demonite, due to the fact that you get demonite from bosses, while you can't really get to shadow pearls without either purification powder from the dryad or a bunch of explosions, and then you have to go find the impact and mine the stuff out while fending off a horde of fiery flying rocks. And you would have to get some obsidian to not get hurt by the stuff while you mined it. But this is just running on the theory of "harder to get == better."

I'm just curious if there's a hellmetal. I think the "nightmare" that Redigit said you need a pick made of to mine the stone around chasms might be it.

[Neonivek]

Meteorite armor gives mana regeneration while Demonite I believe doesn't.

Meteorite armor is what mages wear.

[RF]

PBat isn't that bad when he isn't doing that horribly irritating accent.

[Comp112]

I want a full suit of Meteorite, with a couple of those rings.

WHY DOES HE NEVER USE HIS GRAPPLING HOOK

[nenjin]

That's my point, Demonite is far harder to get, and even though the weapons aren't as good, I assume the armor is more than just higher defense. Also curious about the Demonite Pick, because I've seen it being used but Pbat could never make one even with 30 bars or so of Demonite.

If Demonite items really are on a tier totally below Meteorite...that just seems off. There's no naturally occurring source of it that we've seen. You can get the dynamite or the powder to get meteorite the instant you kill the Eye of Cthulhu or the Demolitionist arrives. It just feels like something has been missed in the LP, or the balance is off there, to me. People will skip past all sorts of tiers in Terraria, but Pbat made one weapon from Demonite and that was it (two actually but I don't think he's even fired the bow.) Put another way, consider that obsidian is necessary to get around in Hell and even mine Meteorite effectively. That's one stone type, producing one item that's a lynch pin. And all Demonite produces is a bunch of armor and weapons you can easily skip past? It just doesn't click.

Maybe Pbat totally jumped the shark and they actually intended people to fight the Eater of Worlds a bunch before trying to take out the Shadow Pearls. Except I've yet to see how you're supposed to summon them. Either way, for all the BS you have to do for Demonite (Special forges, going into deep ass chasms, special treatment for the stone), it seems like it should do more or pack a bigger punch. Or maybe it's the ultimate Ninja gag...the stuff that makes you look like a Ninja is ridiculously hard to get, and isn't honestly better than stuff that's easier to acquire.

And I'm pretty sure there's a Hell ore of some sort. There are flaming picks seen in the trailer, that don't seem to come from Meterorite. (It makes the Hamaxe.)

I really hope Red finds a way to display recipes you can't make sensibly. All of it is going up on wikis anyways, he might as well not leave players fumbling around in game trying to make stuff. With 200 items to make, that's way more permutations and inventory swapping than I want to fuck around with. I'd settle for a vendor that I talk to, to see recipes.

And he can hide recipes for really powerful or rare items....but if you're missing wood out of your inventory and therefore can't make a pickaxe, even if you've got the metal...how the heck are you supposed to know that? I hate missing things in games simply because they don't tell you about them and you don't figure it out until said thing is totally obsolete. I hope that address that before release.

[Neonivek]

Well the eye of Cthuhu is a rather easy boss to get Demonite off of.

It is meteorite armor that will give you some difficulty.

[nenjin]

Compared to how long it takes to kill that guy with the weapons you have when you face him....versus standing there and mining at the same time you're keeping meteorite balls off you.....yeah. Farming the Eye of Cthulhu takes a lot longer.

Then again, you first have to go down as far as the Lava Biome. And Meteorite Ore is finite from what I can tell. There are only so many Shadow Orbs in the World, they don't seem to come back....so there must be a limited # of meteorites that can land.

Still again, that doesn't really matter because you can just create a new world for a character and go harvest all the crap you want of any variety.

I guess it's not that big of a deal...I'm probably just annoyed that Pbat has already written off Demonite and isn't going to bother and see what else it can make.

And learns that grappling hooks

I think you're forgetting the dev videos where using a grappling hook directly beneath you will save you from fall damage.

[Comp112]

-snip-

He made that demon skull that makes him immune to fire damage from objects like meteorite and other hot stuff (although, fire balls, I guess attacks, and lava I would assume, still do damage).
