still fishing a lot of crates for those metals. however, i stopped a bit to get prismite. at leat enough for a few boss fights, on the way i got the crystal serpent so i promptly spent almost all my money trying to get the best modifier. sadly, i had to stop at demonic. still, its a big jump from the magic conch. i had also crafted crystal blaster or something like that (its a weapon made from geodes that shoots a ricocheting crystal, good for closed spaces, i made it mythical just in case).
it started raining then so i took my best equipment and went hunting for the Borean Strider. got 2 frost cores from killing golems (still a PITA even with the crystal serpent). after dying and returning i was finally able to summon that thing in the blizzard. the fight was again, a mess to win with all those other mobs moving around, even worst when i popped the egg sac of that thing and started releasing flying spiders (?), i got frost like 2 or 3 times but got enough tempo to keep me fed and healed so i could survive getting hit.
the thing died and i got the trophy along with the expert mode bag, i dont really use freezing stuff so i dont know if it will be usefull, also, got the ranged weapon instead. i ran out of the most critical potions so it will take a while to recover. maybe i should start buying planter boxes and start the herb farming. i dunno, these nights have been completely serene, must be Thorium, i was expecting mechanical boss annoyance, that or maybe RNG has been good with me for now.
im gonna keep fishing anyways because i want to get stocked on prismite for the rest of the bosses, gonna prep more money selling the produce and farm for more strange crate materials until i can craft the white knight set which seems to be mage focused. i havent looked at its stats compared to Titanium but sincei ts from the mod at least it should be on par with Orichalcum/Mythril. not really sure.
also, have to stock on potions to fight Coznix, it will be horrible to be in the underworld again but unless this guy is like the WoF, i've already have the perfect spot for making an arena down there.
