Not much of a game where you can just dig down until you find a chest and then become strong immediately. It's currently too easy to get strong fast.

No that is the slow slow way Micro.

the FAST way is to fight Eye of Cthluhu until you got a full set of armor.

Which will STILL be valid even with these updates.

EoC does not drop shadow scales, so no armor without an EoW fight.

Drops Demonite and sometimes something special.

With the demonite you fight the Worm. Which you take Shadowscales from.

What's the special thing? Wiki doesn't seem to have anything on it.

Pieces of shadow armor.

Which you still need Lenses to summon, which you need to find demon altars to make, to then lead you to a shadow orb, which you need at least dynamite to break, and then you're fighting him in a hole, which is hard, so he'll probably kill you.....

Yeah, that's surely the quick way to do things. It's going to take even longer after this update and the bosses are going to be even harder to fight without the gear. It will be valid. It's not going to be simple anymore though.

Oh god I hate everything about the enemy drops they already have, I certainly hope they aren't expanding that system to limit what you can get from chests as well. Blech.

Even after 5 hours in when you've looted your 7th chest in the underground? I don't really understand why there's this segment of Terraria players that flips out if they can't have great loot quickly or have to do any low level effort to get it. Once you hit the midpoint of the game, which isn't that long, virtually every upgrade is "fun" rather than "necessary." Yet people treat the end game like it's the only thing that matters.

Unfortunately... Yes... It will save you HOURS (even days if your really unlucky)

It is a lot faster then collecting underground resources until your up to par (unless your lucky). The most useful of which, in the immediate future, is blue mushroom... but they arn't "required" until Skeletron.

Nightmare Armor was my first complete set of armor.

I'm sorry, what? The EoW is summoned by breaking orbs/using his item in corruption. iCthulhu is summoned by randomness or using his item at night. You got your bosses mixed up.

[nenjin]

Save you hours of what? Farming? Which you still have to do anyways, for hearts, money and basic necessities? Your "quicky" way is the intended path of game play, you're not circumventing anything. Everyone's first complete set of armor was Nightmare, because it's was the easiest, best armor to get unless you hoarded every drop of gold you could.

What they're saying now is that you'll probably need gold armor to comfortably fight EoC, and that potion and shuriken spam ain't going to cut it anymore. So I'd prepare for your "quick" way to start taking longer.

No, I didn't. You're just not keeping pace.

I think you need to look up a few posts to even know what I am talking about...

Also the intended path is for you to dig until you got a full set of metal armor.

[nenjin]

You're still "farming" for the Eye, which entails all its own requisite farming. You choose to farm one niche of the game instead of exploring it as others do, farming little bits of things at a time. Considering the requisites for boss summoning, and the increasing difficulty of the fights in the future, I don't see it as easier or quicker, just kind of myopically focused on the items.

That isn't what I was refering to either.

Someone complained that "digging down" was a very quick way to power. All I said is that grinding the bosses is even faster then that.

[nenjin]

And all I'm saying is that you're basically ignoring the time spent underground and in the first place so you can grind bosses. You can't do one without at least some of the other, and how much of the other you do is based largely on luck. After 1.06, everyone is going to have to spend more time farming up to the boss level.

Yeah... The amount of grinding planned for this game is actually starting to be too much.

I mean, the Nightmare set will likely not be dropped off the bosses, it will probably require a full set of copper armor too and some gems.

Expect hours and hours and hours of gameplay making basic objects.
