Worried about mechanical bosses, stuff had kinda' been kicking me around so far. Pirates 'bout killed me, there's
things in hell that effectively one shot me, armor's only somewhat better than what's I killed the wall with, etc., etc., etc.
Was getting annoyed by lack of hallowed bars though, so I figured, what the hell, midnight or not push comes to shove I've got three extra worms in the bank if I don't have the dakka or it explodes me. Gave it a shot.
...
End results, between midnight and about 3:45 AM game time, the destroyer died four times. Between a pirate dropped juggernaut (90-ish damage flail that snaps its head off on crits) with an unholy enchant (causes weapon crits to spew poison clouds) and a small swarm of master librams (summons that are basically random late pre-wall/early hard mode spells that follow you around shooting at things), I was apparently much, much better equipped to faceroll this particular boss than I thought I was.
It's good to be wrong :3
E: You know you're kinda' out of it when you expand a spider nest by about 6k backwall and can't get your head to figure out why you did it besides a halfhearted "Spider box?" that's as much of question as answer
I'd post a screenie but it's literally just a square a few screens in size filled with spider nest backwall. There's some iron ore that got knocked out during the excavation process sitting about in the middle of it. Spiders crawl up from the floor and try to eat you, but get caught on the platform and your minions kill them.
E2: swept up the drops that piled up while I was typing that. Collected fangs are at 243. Think I already had like a hundred back home, with spider set built and more than enough to build anything else that needed 'em. I... guess I can sell them?
E3: Incidentally, after getting the last spider banner I could there, did one last sweep, put a few extra in the bank, and did just that. Turns out a 400 stack of spider fang sells for 20 gold. Not. Not the most economical of farming options, even if you include the other drops...
E4: Oh yeah... xant (or anyone that's playing with thorium on), I forget the exact recipe but there's a gun that's either pre-wall or early hard mode called the slugger. You might want to check it out, as it turns out momentum and knockback can get some bit wonky in terraria, and if you point the gun in the opposite direction you want to go and keep shooting, you can do stuff like glide nearly horizontal (i.e. cross near half of a medium map with a single frozen wing wearing jump, and that starting at ground level) or actually tribes-style skate/bunny hop (if you touch down for a short enough period after a jump, you apparently retain and continue to build speed, which can get faintly ludicrous if you can avoid ramming into a wall or somethin').
Very nice for pre-teleport/fast shoes/mount/whatever travel.
