Same here.
It adds a sense of achievement for every item you craft or find.

Soon I'll have the means to take on my first boss.
Do I really need those shurikens, or can I simply stick to my golden bow and flaming arrows?

It's the pierce that makes them so effective. Yes.

Gold bows and better are just weak compared to items in the same tier.
Why not bring both?

[Blaze]

You can throw shurikens significantly faster than you can shoot arrows too, it doesn't hurt to have a backup weapon though. Bring plenty of potions.

If you're thinking of going up against an Eater of Worlds, I strongly recommend stocking up on grenades.

Also, setting up several long rows of wooden platforms makes dodging much easier.

[Mindmaker]

I'll be going for EoC.
Just want to get my armor to at least silver tier first.
Should have enough ore for that and maybe a gold piece or two.

Shuriken do indeed sound more powerful than my current bow.
Oh well, I neglected house building in my current world, so it will take time until I get my merchant.
Also they may be costly.

Started filling my second heart row, got many of the minor chest items and even found a hook.

[Blaze]

Merchants don't take much to get. Just make 2 boxes out of stone, 8 tiles wide and 4 tiles tall (not including the walls), stick a chair and table in both (next to each other), add a torch to each, and collect 50 silver.

Shurikens cost 20 copper each, so that starting 50 silver is enough for a full stack of 250 shurikens.

If money is a problem, get sand, turn it into glass, turn the glass into bottles, then sell the bottles. Two full stacks of sand is one gold (100 silver/10,000 copper).

[Mindmaker]

I know how to get the NPCs, I just didn't bother with them, since I didn't need their services in my current world.

Well, if they are that cheap, then it shouldn't be a probllem.
You get more than enough gold from chests.

[Ochita]

Just asking..

What tier of stuff should I use to kill skeletron?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Molten is good.

The best you can get.

I recommend, at minimum, full meteor armor + space gun. If you're fortunate enough to have a minishark or hellstone tier equipment available, use them. Harpoons can do a lot of damage if you're close enough to skeletron (like when he charges at you) and can click fast enough. Grenades are also quite useful, since they can deal a lot of damage provided you have enough space to move. If nothing else, shadow armor + shadow axe/hammer can deal quite a bit of damage if you time your "moon-walking" correctly.

Again, alter the battlefield to your advantage; a long, flat walkway will make skeletron a lot easier to dodge when he does that spinning head move.

[breadbocks]

No. Minisharks are horrid abominations.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, the 'nix blaster does more damage and the rate of fire is negligible

[breadbocks]

Well, they're talking pre dungeon, which means no handgun for a nix.

Either way, musket is superior to the 'shark.

The thorn chakrum isn't much worse than a flamarang against such a large target, and is probably easier to get (certainly if you don't object to safe hornet farming).

Eh. The extra bounce is kinda useless. And a chakrum needs you to get roses, which is like vile mushroom farming. Just not that fast unless you have a farm ready made.
