Since this update is still new, there's still a lot unknown about it and wiki information is very incomplete. If you'd like me to test or research something, let me know!

Updates/corrections for this video:
- Creating the Bottomless Shimmer Bucket in Shimmer is *post-Moon Lord only*
- The liquid *can* be moved before getting the Shimmer bucket using pumps
- The Peddler’s Hat turns into the Peddler’s Satchel which permanently increases Traveling Merchant inventory
- Luminite Brick turns into 8 new types of brick, depending on the moon phase
- Dungeon Bricks turn into Ancient Dungeon Bricks, which have the appearance of the original dungeon bricks
- Dungeon Brick Walls turn into Cursed Dungeon Brick Walls, which can be used to spawn enemies like natural walls
- Dropping coins gives you *a luck bonus* rather than doing nothing
- One Aether cave can be found per world on the Jungle side
Thank you to everyone who brought these up in the comments.
npcs also don't become faelings they change visual appearance
That refers to town NPCs. NPC itself is what the game uses to refer to enemies/critters/town NPCs, although it's a bit ambiguous.
It’s super cool that the coins increase luck. I was just about to say that’s what I’d think it’d do.
is making the terraformer and rod of harmony hardmode only? they dont seem to be working, though i am in a pre hardmode world
@@kryptos4812 It's Post-Moon Lord only
Has the goblin tinkerer been hiding this stuff from us this whole time? Is this how he reforges stuff?
that explains the cost
one more reason to hate him
@@enderguardian7443 honestly it justifies the cost alot. My man must go to an old dead God and harvest its organs and craft a potential dangerous liquid.
the cost for inventing a way to transport Shimmering Water without a bottomless bucket.
Goblin tinkerer after the hero founds out about shimmer liquid: No more stonk 😭
Shimmer liquid will be a gamechanger for skyblock maps, making dirt from trees is amazing, and being able to downgrade ores and gems is also very good
Now the question becomes how do you get shimmer in the first place
@@rosencvetanov6129 start with a single shimmer bucket on a sky island
just like the cobblestone generator amirite?
@@DizzyIndy u cant get it in a bucket but in a sky house?
was literally about to comment this; trees into dirt, demonite into iron and other ores.
"ShimmerBlock Map"
the shimmer can be used for endless chlorophyte bullets without the need to wait for the clorophyte to spread
and it also can be used for infinite dirt if you somehow ran out of dirt
@@asdsasds7106 skyblocks gonna be wild with shimmer
how do you get infinite bullets with shimmer
@@omegakek luminite + shimmer liquid = Chlorophyte
Chlorophyte can be used to make bullets, luminite drops are around 70~90 or so. Meaning that if you already defeat moon lord and have all you wanted from luminite then you can convert said into chlorophyte to make anything else, or you can also keep downgrading it into other ores. There's basically endless possibilities with this.
TL;DR
Shimmer turns luminite to chlorophyte, chlorophyte has more uses than luminite at the end game
@@GabyIsHere2 unless you can aim, then luminite bullets are still top in the end game
Throwing coins in shimmer gives you a temporary luck buff based on their value.
Also biome keys can be turned into biome chests
Empty i assume? They are still cool chest though.
@@doctorhealsgood5456 yeah meant for building, cant wait to actually be able to use jungle chests more than once
the zenith splitting into its components is definitely one of the coolest looking things in the game
If it has a story, Zenith's weakness would be shimmer water.
This ability to cycle through items is absolutely amazing. Gone are the days of fighting the wall of flesh 20 times to get the right emblem for your build.
the only thing of the "good ol' days" that i wont miss, lol
"Crafted items break into their materials when dropped in"
SAY GOODBYE TO EXODIA
Actually, dropping coins in increases your luck for a duration and amount that correlates with the amount and type of money, respectively. Also, wood to dirt can be very useful for single-world-characters, because it makes an easy to access, infinitely renewable source of dirt, mainly useful for building or maybe fixing up a world you tore up and long ago threw away the materials to
Don't you have bombs for infinite dirt?
@@1q34w I'm not sure what the exact conversion from dirt to dirt bombs is, but I am sure it is a net positive. I was going to say that it would be the only access to renewable dirt, but I remembered the bombs right then and changed my statement to "easy to access".
Imagine placing a soul of eternity in shimmer.
and a roof above it so the items can't escape
The Infinite Soul of Absolute Eternity
And suddenly it does NOT break into materials, but starts transmutating...
@@coolballer42 wat
@@dlp6567 and all it does now is making you shimmer upwards
The Gas Trap has a bug that when AutoPause is on for inventories, the gas won't be released in singleplayer only. Found in Consoles.
Let’s be honest, that’s probably a good thing. If you’re on single player then the only person setting the trap up is yourself, and why would you want to set off your own trap?
So what we got:
+ New biome and cool items.
What we lost:
- angel statue being useless.
@@xaracen7207 dude the whole point why angel statue was memes was because it was useless.
@@xaracen7207 dude I didn't say angel statue is useful. Never was, till they made a use for it.
@@Averydude1 you could use the angel statue for decoration they simply just made it a more appealing decorative item if you throw it in shimmer water so technically it still the same but also just a different look
@@Averydude1 what the hell are you on about
The ore thing is actually super useful for making the drill containment unit. Now instead of having to mine hundreds and hundreds of chlorophyte for it we can just use the excess luminite we get from farming the moon lord
I wonder if this is a reference to the movie Annihilation..The movie is about this "shimmer" that changes the properties of everything inside of it.
Bruh big brain moment holy
nice theory Kogasa Tatara from Touhou Project
That does seem pretty similar...
@@a_soulspark hello fellow touhou fan
The wiki says so
The shimmer effect would be awesome for secret entrances and stuff
man made us sit through all the gem and ore downgrades but doesnt show us the new npc sprites because its just too much of a hassle
Boys and girls, we can now legitimately craft copper ore out of Luminite
Woooooo yeah baby lesss gooo
Finally, I've been waiting for luminite to become useful!
Casting coins into the Shimmer supposedly amps luck. Check with a wizard.
It's true
Random idea either for an update/mod
Shimmered bosses:
Dropping a boss summoning item (ex: Suspicious looking eye) into shimmer would turn it into a shimmered variant (so perhaps Suspicious looking eye would be Suspiciously shimmered eye).
If enemies and npc's can interact with the liquid, why not bosses too?
For some reason it really annoys me that cobalt turns into Platinum instead of Hellstone
I think its because hellstone is in every world (unlike some of the pre-hm/early hm ores) and isn’t used for much beyond the pre-hm gear (chlorophyte is used for chlorophyte based ammo)
I do have a feeling that the lack of hellstone could be an oversight. It's clearly a tier of its own between platinum and cobalt, and is definitely useful for various things (including DCU).
@@LQC2556 not to mention the lack of demonite/crimtane
Yeah, that too.
Enchanted moondial seems more useful than the sundial in my opinion
Eclipse skip
Either would be good for fishing quests
Just get both
@@kielpogi8062 you can't skip events
Unless they changed that too
the prismatic lacewing transforms into a “candle fairy” when thrown into the shimmer
Seems like it does the same as any other critter.
SO cool
I can't wait to see how mod developers decide to utilize the Aether, and more specifically, shimmer
I spent this entire video going crazy. This *is* crazy. Re-Logic deserves to get the labor of love award again.
I have a theory about the disappearing coins thing.
Maybe it works like a magical wishing well? And it uses coins, which are usually thrown into a well when making a wish, to fuel its transmutations? so when you drop coins into this pool, it's absorbing them as though adding them to its "Wish-Energy". And perhaps that's how it became like that in the first place, maybe this place was once a place people came to make wishes, and the sheer volume of coins and wish-energy turned the water into this Shimmer fluid, saturated with magical transmutative energy.
Also, The uncrafting mechanic is actually Broken, because now you can uncraft things with bad modifiers and re-craft them hoping for a better Modifier. Take THAT, Goblin Tinkerer!
Are you Hugh right nów?
Can we get much higher
The uncraft thing only work after you defeat Moon Lord, which is basically end if the game already, since you’re probably stronger than literally everything now just make it so you don’t need to grind just to get some reforge.
Uncrafting works at any stage of the game.
@@pluckinearchive2766 I used it to recycle and reforge my Terrible Blade of Grass, that mechanic is accessible at any time, even pre-boss.
One thing I forgot if you mentioned it: if you throw a biome key in, you will get that biome chest out of it
luminite turning into chlorophyte actually sounds useful especially for the DCU
12:17 Terraria sky block? Little dirt island and a tree you have a little bit of this liquid turn wood (renewable) into dirt to expand your island.
A lot of work went into this update.
And also this video. Thanks.
It's pretty an alchemy flavor, that's cool. Maybe they can try more element transfer designs, I won't refuse some additional non-combat fun.
another once only permanent upgrade is the peddlers bag. you make it from the peddlers hat, and it expands his inventory so he brings more stuff
Yeah, that wasn't on the wiki at the time so I missed it...
I love how with the shimmer, you get ambrosia which is considered the drink of gods in greek mythology. i just think that‘s really neat, considering you can only get the shimmer bucket after the moonlord :]
Dropping an endless water bucket into shimmer makes an endless shimmer bucket
i think the luminite + bottomless waterbucket recipe was only added if you wanted to introduce shimmer to old worlds, as it seems like you can find it naturally in certain seeds (or so ive heard)
Nectar is the drink of gods, ambrosias the food.
The ancient armor one is amazing for the knight in shining armors achievement
Dropping coins in shimmer does have a function, as it will increase you luck stats
This one addition opens the flood gates for so many cool concepts for the game. If I were relogic I would have a hard time not developing new content for this game too, my mind is running wild seeing this
Shimmer can reflect the nimbus rod's water droplets btw, just found this out a minute ago.
nice bro
it seems you can only make the bottomless shimmer bucket post ml
Dropping a bottomless water bucket also makes q bottomless shimmer bucket tho
@@UrticantOdin on the wiki it states that, that only works post Moonlord anyway
@@zockingtroller7788 not if you make a new world
@@mythicbliss747 nope ,doesn't work
Yes, some "Shimmer Upgrades" seem to be locked for post moon lord, like the Rod of Harmony and the Terraformer.
Not 100% sure tho, take everything with a grain of salt guys, there is SO much misinformation spreaded atm because this is so new.
The feeling of getting a giant update on mobile is immaculate! Brings back the times when I started screaming cuz 1.3 came to mobile lol
Here’s another tip: If you find an aether biome, make a house next to it and set up a pylon network. You can easily get back to the shimmer
Edit: Shimmer can also reforge accessories for FREE! Drop an accessory that is a combination of two in shimmer. Then redraft it until you get the modifier you want.
Im just imagining modders adding new shimmer recipes. So many things to test out!
Along with the emblems, dropping the wall of flesh trophy with make an emblem
It didn't do that for me.
I don't know why then, if you look at the 1.4.4 patch notes it says that
for anyone wondering how to find this biome, this trick can't fail. all you need to do is go to the jungle side of the world, find the ocean on that side, travel slightly away from the ocean back into the biome next to the ocean and dig straight down, you'll find it, no matter what.
It didn’t work for me
A way to undo crafting is something i've wanted for so long
Throwing a star cloak in the shimmer gives you a Chromatic cloak, which grant semi-imunity to the shimmer effect
This might be one of the best looking updates Relogic had so far. Thank you so much for the guide on Shimmer!
also now i know how to improve the looks of Hallow biome and housing
LQC: So wood turns into dirt, nothing cool.
Skyblock players: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS
lqc: crafted items turn into their ingredients in shimmer!
goblin tinkerer secretly watching: i will drain every shimmer in your world
Thank you for this guide, now I will finally understand what's this for.
Don't forget the part where you're invulnerable while the effect is active! *vibrates in a teleportation contraption used for BSing and invulnerability against bosses*
Perhaps shimmer is a tear in dimensions? This would be why many different blocks are given, or it may be an opening to the Hallow base dimension.
It toghether with the coin toss blessing you with luck reminds me rather of the lady of the lake, or, fountain fairy. You toss in something valuable and you get back something different, usually even more valuable. Those critter fairies flying around make this theory even more plausible to me that there is a "fairy deity" inside that shimmer pond doing things.
wait, i didnt know this stuff was in new update, this is awesome!
How shimmer works with projectiles:
For Most gravity projectiles, they are quite buoyant, floating back up and out with ~= speed.
Most straight shooters (even the rain clouds) are bounced. Bombs and bouncy projectiles (like flower of fire) behave like this too.
Enchanted projectiles (enchanted sword bean and jester arrows) ignore it and behave like normal. Well except the added resistance by the liquid.
Terraria new patches always so cool
7:05 "...the flare gun is pretty useless"
I'm going to war with you to defend my beloved early game light
Torch, torch is better
@@skyral4137 I never said flare is best, it just holds a light in my heart
Im on my way to go to world edge also known as Beach/Ocean dig under it and find this reality defying treat
very informative
One of the best sidegrades I’ve found is a magma stone to a lava charm, honest life saving if you’re going for terraspark boots 😂
so... what happens when you use the daedelus stormbow with shimmer arrows?
Nothing special unfortunately, it just falls like normal.
Actually depends...If you're in the air when you fire, they shoot downwards like you'd expect. But they're also effected by reverse gravity...like you'd expect. So they do eventually turn and start 'falling' back upwards.
@@drcidd8153 neat
Also if you throw stone in the shimmer it transform it into dirt too, that means any ore/crystal/wood can be transformed into dirt
This is so cool. Don't care what anyone says. The transmutation of items is cool. The effects of the aether is cool
coins act like throwing a coin in a wishing well
they give you temporary luck (1 platinum is the max at 20%)
The Angler turns into a kappa
BRO LQC YOU ARE POPPIN OFF!
Introducing: SCP-914 Terraria edition
I read it like "swimmer" first time
Very useful thank you
This changes everything
Bro I can’t wait for this to port to tmod loader and I can un-craft the soul of eternity
This'll take a while, but will probably be satisfying. Good luck!
I think it would be kinda anti climactic, i mean it would just drop the souls of the universe, dimensions, the siblings, and terraria with some eternal energy. Sniper's, Conjurist's, Supersonic souls would be more satisfying to un-craft because this 3 have 14 different direct crafting materials
As someone who has very few normal trees in their world, the wood transformation is a life saver. I've gathered thousands of spooky wood from doing pumpkin moons, and I'm so glad I can finally put them to good use.
10:39 that sound of the items turning into other items in the shimmer liquid but sped up
is just a fart
i swear if this is intentional-
very good information
this is incredible
The coins vanish in the shimmer and grant luck. The amount of coins determine the length of the luck (try with copper first tho)
DROPPING A FUCKING HARD MODE CRATE TURNS IN TO A PREHARD MODE CRATE I LOVE THIS GAME
The goblin tinkerers money disappearing when you can reforge you own crafted gear:
After all these years, when I do a run I can finally have a way to switch my 20 bezoars into something useful other than coins.
But honestly though, haven't been playing terraria recently, might have to get back into the game when the update comes to mobile, this looks like a pretty cool update.
I think the update is already available on mobile.
@@LQC2556 damn, welp, time to go and dump more hours on it 💀
We getting closer to Modded Territory
Ну наконец нормальный обзор на шиммер!
Majestic...
I never thought to drop a rod of discord into shimmer
This is great
you can also use it to uncraft items, such as the zenith!
Finally, a way to make a copper shortsword with all my spare luminite
This stuff is interesting, it's like liquid potential. It could be the basis of entirely new mechanics in a potential sequel. *Coughcough*
If you guys somehow want to find nazar but it's hard... you can get it with megaphone by dropping the megaphone on shimmer water
maybe some of you guys already know...hope this can help a bit 👍🏻
(Megaphone is way easier to get than Nazar) [i think?]
Definitely, you can probably get a megaphone from just 10 minutes of pixie farming but the nazar is just something that you have to be really lucky for.
Hol up. So if I put pre-hardmode accessory used to craft ankh, does it become a hardmode accessory?
The only prehardmode accessories that craft into the Ankh Shield are Bezoar and Nazar I believe (aside from the Obsidian Shield). So you could use this to get the Adhesive Bandage and the Megaphone respectively. Obsidian shield just uncrafts itself if that's thrown in, same with the Countercurse Mantra and Medicated Bandage which are the union of the 4 accessories mentioned earlier.
Huh, I hadn't thought of that... I guess you can actually do that to get those 2 hardmode accessories early, which would mostly help against expert+ Skeletron and Brain of Cthulhu.
Yo, i just got an insane idea:
What will Daedalus bow do with those arrows lol 💀
that was my first thought too but it just works like normal sadly
It would have been funny if the arrows started firing from below instead
coolest terraria update of all time
Can you get cobalt early with ancient cobalt armour pre hard mode?
Nope, ancient cobalt just changes to jungle.
That is super cool
i love how he has 16K res like bro has the best video and is crystal clear
Anyone else on Xbox and they throw in their items and nothing happens? Please lmk whenever I throw something in the shimmer like my zenith nothing happens
When i found shimmer in multiplayer
1. Craft items
2. Get the bottomless shimmer bucket
3. Baptizing my friend to the shimmer and make them straight to the backrooms ( underworld )
I cant wait to use this in Fargos souls mod on the soul of eternity
Shimmer arrows with Daedalus stormbow will be the new meta this update
It seems that the Shimmer arrows don't have any special interaction with the Stormbow.
one aether biome always spawns per world, and in the side of the world with the jungle
Anyone know how get honey absorbent sponge?
from angler quests, idk if it was just a coincidence but i got that with the bumblebee tuna quest
Thank you!
What happens when other npc like zombies, demon eyes, etc touch the shimmer do they also transform into the fairies or do they become a "shimmer" version of it? and im assumming this is probably and obvious no but does the shimmer effect the bosses in any kind of way
Some enemies transform into others, like zombie → skeleton. Others go temporarily invisible. Bosses don't get affected, especially since most bosses don't interact with tiles.
Finally arrows for my gravity challenge world
You can basically get infinite of any ore you want from farming moonlord, that's really cool.
I guess, although it would be slower than mining for chlorophyte or something.
@@LQC2556 I know, but for people who are lazy and dont want to go out and find some, its a great method
