If someone wants to roll their clock back or forward to play an event out of season, why stop them?

[Mageziya]

I should mention, I was running across the sever when no-one was on and in the transplanted crimson I found an already dropped crimson mold. Some poor person came so close to getting one of the rarest items in the game and missed out.

[frostshotgg]

Molds aren't that rare. Part of the reason they were added was so that keys could be slightly more common, but require a more concerted effort.

[Baneling]

Key molds have the same chance to drop as the keys did - one in four thousand. At least, according to the wiki.

Dungeon Key Mold drops are extremely rare (1/4000 chance of a key mold dropping from a defeated enemy in a biome).

[Niveras]

I'm somewhat doubtful; unless the editor went code diving, I think it's more likely some soul thought he'd be helpful and just up and changed the wiki from "Dungeon Key drops are..." to "Dungeon Key Mold drops are..." without actually checking anything first.

[forsaken1111]

I'm doubtful too. A few hours of sitting in a grinder yielded THREE key molds.

[Darkmere]

Before the change I got 2 dungeon key (key, not mold) drops from clearing lihzahrd temple once. After the patch I got 2 frost key molds from 2 pirate invasions.

The RNG is random.

I looked. Other people have looked too. The chance is still 1/4000. (I read it on a wiki or forum post or the like, and then loaded up a decompiler because I wanted to verify it for myself)

But I haven't bothered to make the keys or go get the items from the chests. I killed plantera and golem (golem repeatedly until I was out of power cells or whatever they were), and then decided to do something else non-terraria for a while instead of repeatedly making arenas to fight plantera in...

Side note: Haven't done the pumpkin moon event either.

What did you use to decompile it, out of curiosity. I hadn't had any luck

[xaritscin]

this new char and world have proven really good time, im practically ready for hardmode, but as i havent found several of the pre-hardmode items, i guess i'll wait a bit more, i found 3 floating islands practically next to my base, so i think that will be my megaproject. i'll build a floating continent with them, if i can find more (large world)

[Leonon]

edit: so very wrong thread

another thing i dont find in the wiki, does the hallow/corruption distribution is the same as always? i mean, the moment after killing the WoF, they appear always in the same sides of the map? (west hallow/east corruption/crimson). the wiki doesnt estates this so i dont know if that configuration is the same for every world ot if there are variants....

The way I understand it, the game draws a diagonal line from hell to the surface and places hallow/corruption along those lines. Where it draws the lines is random when you kill the WoF and start hardmode.

Feel free to correct me if one of you decompilers has the exact method. Shadowlord could you check?

yeah i know that, it draws a V or X shaped line thus forming underground hallow and underground corruption/crimson, what i wat to know is if the biome paint is randomized i mean, for example i kill the WoF, do i always get hallow to the left and corruption/crimson to the right? or depends on where's the jungle located or other key biomes like the dungeon/snow....

[ECrownofFire]

On my world I got Crimson to the left and Hallow on the right.
