Nice video. I will give 1 tip tho. You can get wires pre-skeletron. Using 1sec timer for normal farming statues and using 5sec timer for bomb statue make this farm almost perfect. Getting wire is easy. Find boulder trap break the active stone block under them and shimmer it to get wires and stone. You still can't place the wire but you can make 1 sec timer with platinium watch and 1 wire and 5 sec timer with tin watch and 1 wire. I hope this helps someone.
Actually you can get wires pre every single boss and everything if you find a dart trap and place a statue next to the trap it will automatically turn on
My favourite is finding hoplite as I am barelly starting the game. It allows me to fet a full armor set, decent projectile weapon without barelly doing anything. Just find a pressure plate/dart trap and set an improvised farm.
Alas, they won't drop burgers for some reason. They drop chunks, armor, the melee weapon, even the cosmetic pet, but never seen a single burger drop. Could be my luck tho. Need more testing.
Make sure you don't have lava there, as statue mobs killed by lava never drop anything. Flinx staff should work, add banners, farm faster, place gnome statue and correct biome torch to increase luck.
Not using any lava. Just the flinx. Not a single drop from any of the statues I've tried, unless it takes hours? In which case, it's not worth it. Thanks for the reply.
@@lokiwraith2234 It doesn't take hours, it takes minutes on average for most drops. It depends on the item though and its rarity. To get a single shark fin would take you less than a min, but for an obsidian rose to drop you may have to wait 10 min. This method is meant for AFK farming, so you don't waste time staring at the screen doing nothing for several min.
That's what I thought... so something is wrong. This is my first world ever... but I started it 3 years ago (?), played for 30 minutes, and returned to it a few days ago. Is it possible this doesn't work on an older world? Cause that would be terrible.... since I've spent the last week following some of your suggestions... like partitioning the world. I've discovered I have NO shimmer... apparently it started just after i created my world. But I did exactly what you said... wires, bumper track, grinder box, flinx... works like you said and described, but not a single drop.
I couldn't figure out why my lava farms weren't dropping anything. I thought they disabled statue drops. I'm doing my first master hardcore, and I really needed that hoplite armor. :)
@@mesquiteaviationstatue spawned mobs when killed by lava won’t drop loot, except for slime statue. Your best bet is to use summons to kill those mobs.
Having said that, every single world should have more than one statue of every kind. If your world is large, there are should be at least 4 undead viking statues. Just use spelunker pots with max mining speed and you can find one really fast.

Thanks for the guide, I’ve put all my statues in a box I don’t touch but now I’ll try them out
So thankful we have the statues, great info brother.
Thank you!
I'm very happy with your return bro
Thanks m8!
Welcome back Moxus!
Thank you!

Exactly! Works like a charm!
Wooow this whole time I thought statue enemies didn’t drop any items
Will the eaters also drop burgers when spawned from a statue? Would be another good thing to farm early.

Amazing video, I was under the assumption that mobs spawned from statues didnt spawn loot. Maybe you could make one like this for early hardmode?
For sure, I will. Note that if you kill statue spawned mobs using lava or traps - no loot drops. The only exception is the slime statue.
did exactly as you described.... but no loot ever drops. Using flinx staff. Any ideas?

@@lokiwraith2234 Could it be that you are using an older game version? This method has only been tested in 1.4+ on PC.

My imp glitches and stop attacking the mobs :(
Imp is not good for this, use vampire frog or flinx
could you tell me the seed? i need an undead viking statue, and that’s the only statue that is NO WHERE on youtube lol
Sadly I deleted the map a while ago :(
