Bubble platforms with honey
After switching to Hardmode, the Party Girl sells Bubble Blocks. The player character can pass through these blocks, but they still hold liquids. For a better result, this trick requires a little more effort, namely, a Swimmer's Potion.
Fast farming of essences of light/darkness
If you need essences, you've already killed the Wall of Flesh, right? So, you have that long platform across half of Hell that you painstakingly built without wearing the Slime King's Expert Axe and dodging those annoying Lava Slimes, because only true guys don't wear that Axe. But that's not the point now. Gold / Platinum —you need a constant supply of one or the other (same with iron/lead ), as well as rubies. What's the point? It's all very complicated. Craft crowns, lots of crowns.
Result: Gold/Platinum Crown.
Next, run to Crimson/Distortion, craft Slime King summoners on the altar.
Result: Slime Crown
Let's say you need essences of light. Descend into Hell and go straight under the Holy Lands in Hell , then summon slimes and beat them up there. ???, PROFIT!
One Bucket
No need to lug around a lot of buckets of water/lava/honey (especially honey, since you have to run quite a distance to get it). It's all simplified with one simple design.
Convenient Fishing
When doing fisherman's quests, always take a safe/piggy bank/money trough with you. As soon as you catch a quest fish, put it in one of the above-mentioned storages and continue fishing; this way, you'll be able to catch more quest fish. In the room with the NPC himself, create several chests, put all the quest fish in them, and then simply give them to the fisherman when he asks for them.
2. Staff of Grass
An essential item for this craft, it allows you to harvest planted plants, increasing the amount of seeds and grass dropped from that plant. The staff can also be used only on fully grown plants, meaning you no longer have to carefully poke each blade of grass. This wonder can be found in jungle shrines and jungle boxes .
Growing Herbs for Potion Brewing:
When playing in Normal mode, potions are often unnecessary, or at least minimally needed. However, in Expert mode, the lack of a potion buff is unforgiving; a buff is always needed. Therefore, this section of the guide will focus on herbs for different types of potions.
Clutches
Clutches are needed directly for growing flowers; they are purchased from the Dryad under certain conditions (table below).
Name Terms of sale
- Clutch for the flower of the day - The Royal Slug has been killed in the world.
- Laying for moonflower - The Queen Bee has been killed in the world.
- Glowing Root Clay - The Eye of Cthulhu has been killed in the world.

Alchemy Table
An equally important item, you should brew all potions on it, as the Alchemy Table has a 33% chance to save an ingredient when crafting a potion. This useful thing can be found in the dungeon , so go for it!
Other information
Dead Grass, in my opinion, is the most difficult plant to obtain. Seeds of this grass can only be obtained during a full moon and a Blood Moon. To avoid having to watch the moon, but to see the moon phase in text form, you need to complete the fisherman's quests so he gives you a Sextant, which constantly displays the moon phase.
The Potion of Thorns requires a Worm's Tooth to craft, which only drops in the Warp world. There's no Crimson alternative, so is this an advantage for the Warp world ?
Another example: the Potion of Rage is crafted from fish caught in the Crimson and increases critical strike chance by 10%. The Warp alternative, the Potion of Wrath, is crafted from fish caught in the Warp and increases damage by 10%.
For the eclipse, you need a Solar Plate , which is crafted from 8 Solar Plate Fragments , they are dropped by Lizards and Flying Snakes , and for them to spawn outside the temple, you need to clear the walls of the jungle temple, approximately as in the screenshot.
Destroyer? Easy!
Build a room with some buffs high above the ground (so the boss can't reach you). Buy a Cannon and several hundred Cannonballs from the Pirate. Point the Cannon upward, at a slight angle (right-click), and make a hole in the room for the cannonballs to pass through (3 blocks).
A problem arises – the Probes that fly out when damaged. Although the cannonballs won't produce many, it will be much easier if you get a Cloud Rod beforehand. In that case, simply place two clouds with the rod as high as possible above the hole the cannonballs are passing through and stand in the rain itself. This way, the Probes will take pretty good damage, and maybe even die altogether.
