Terraria could take a page from the dwarf fortress wiki and have a multiple variations of pages for different versions. Although I understand that’s probably a lot of effort.
or they could just do the thing that literally every wiki does and keep a revision history. but that's too simple, you gotta cram all info ever into a single article.

This takes me back to a "surviving your first night" guide I used when I was first playing minecraft, which recommended to first dig a shelter into a hillside _by hand,_ before gathering any wood. Oh, and it didn't even mention stone tools exist.

@@Criz454 Minecraft's wiki has a solution for this: It's called page revision history! Just look for a page edited during the time of the update you're interested in. That said, Dwarf Fortresses solution is more use friendly but also harder to implement, as you have to decided which versions are worthy enough to alternative pages for. I love wiki culture but this it more and more strongly become anti-edit over time. I see this same type of thing brewing on the Dwarf Fortress wiki mostly in the "community articles" type sections. Once someone adds something to a page, if it gets deemed as part of "community culture" in some way it basically never gets removed, like the piles of bad fan fiction cluttering various articles. My ideal wiki is informative only and it's always sad to see great articles held back by the community maintaining them, especially because old maintainers tend to drive new maintainers out to preserve decades old nonsense.
@@B1esky A WIndows Phone does not work with apks, it works with .exe, because its a Windows Phone. A Damn shame that they didn't take off, modern windows phones would be absolutely amazing.
On the flaming arrow page, it lists a 3ds/old gen console tip to use a molten fury with an endless quiver to get free arrows. 3ds/old gen console. Endless quiver. Whoever did the change literally just swapped the desktop version icon with the 3ds and old gen ones without checking if one of the included items was even around before 1.3
I think the mistake was actually caused due to the template that creates the icons itself, as setting an instance of it to display pre-1.4 icons seems to cause it to automatically display the old gen console and 3DS icons. Whoever added it likely didn't have a good understanding of how the platform icon template worked.
I just learned about Terraria today, so first thing I did was find out where I can buy it. After going to the 14th page of Google search results, I found someone selling a used copy of the game on eBay, along with the Xbox 360 (from 2005) used to play it. Very excited to play! I sure hope the wiki has a ton of outdated info mixed in with relevant info!
(obligatory PC is better) i hope you have a lot of fun! if i remember correctly though, the ps3/xbox360 have not been updated, so if you want to continue, you will need to upgrade to pc or xbox1/ps4. as xbox360 stopped at duke fishron (aka between 1.3-1.4)
@@somerandomdude7815 Thank you so much! My comment was a joke about how unlikely people are to actually find the outdated wiki info relevant though, ahaha
As you say, the problem is that they're not willing to get rid of old info or, even better, make a sub-page for the same item/boss/whatever for an older version so every bit of information is where it belongs and where it is helpful. The Ivy Whip being mentioned so much in particular probably goes back to the 1.0 and 1.1 days when it was the only other hook besides the basic grappling hook (talking pre-HM in 1.1).
One of my favorite lines from the Terraria Wiki is, on the trivia for the Blindfold, "a real-life blindfold usually disables the wearer's sight instead of preventing sight-deteriorating effects." Like, wow, never would've thought! They also seem to take everything Red says completely seriously, like on the Guide's page in the trivia it says "according to Redigit, the Guide is the Wall of Flesh, the brother of the ninja inside King Slime, the great-grandson of the Nymph, and the son of the Moon Lord. *It's unknown whether these statements are jokes."* Like seriously???? You don't even need to look at the context of what Red said to know that him being the great grandson of the Nymph (not to mention while simultaneously being the son of the Moon Lord) is a complete joke, no one was supposed to take that seriously in the slightest
Family tree: Nymph: 1 child Child grows up, then makes bebe with moonlord, creating two beings: The guide, and the ninja. Wiki people: yep, seems factual to me!
If you read the lore, and you follow this logic, that means Moon Lord killed his mother's kind, and how is thay gonna work? Moon Lord is a literal GOD! and Dryads were the protectors of the Terraria Universe
@@a_random_lizard either that or moon lord had a child with a nymph, which I’d argue makes more sense than him killing his entire race. Still bonkers tho
BROOO I FELL FOR THAT TIP ABOUT THE SHROOMERANG! I basically made 11 worlds where all I did was look for shoomerang, by the 6th world I downloaded TEdit and searched for the item via that tool and found nothing. In. So. Many. Worlds. Until I got it to drop from a shroom bat randomly in another playthrough. That guy should be banned form ever editing any wiki ever again
a lesser known fact about Lifeforce Potions is that they're technically obtainable pre-Skeletron because Gold Chests that generate close enough to the underworld contain primary Cavern loot and secondary Underworld loot, including Lifeforce Potions (it also results in being able to obtain Meteorite Bars pre-evil boss because they're part of the secondary Underworld loot). the problem is that this piece of information is HIDDEN IN THE TIPS SECTION OF THE METEORITE BAR ARTICLE, it doesn't even get mentioned on the article for Gold Chests which is fairly informative regarding Underground and Cavern loot that can be obtained. it's so bad that i only knew of this fact by RANDOMLY reading the Meteorite Bar article to remember how many bars i need for everything, and not because i thoroughly read the Gold Chest article to get an idea of how likely i am to get the item i want
It *does* get meantioned in the arcticle for chests overall though. "Cavern Gold Chests that spawn within 250 blocks of the bottom of the world will generate the same common items as Shadow Chests." But I also only kmow it by the Terraria Veterans video where one of the guys there used the laser gun agianst his first fight agianst Eye of Cuthulu
Yeah, there's a note under WoS/WoF that specifies they only matter in DDU/GFB worlds; they're basically a magic version of the Uzi there (except for projectile speed ofc, since the Uzi converts Musket Balls and Tungsten Bullets into High Velocity Bullets).
I contributed a lot to the class setups page, specifically Summoner, and the wiki editors kept reverting it because they were absolutely clueless, they didn't even know that Firecracker + Stardust Dragon is better than Kaleidoscope + Terraprisma.
That's not really the case though. Dragon Cracker has higher raw DPS, but in practice the vastly higher range of Kaleidoscope combined with the vastly more reliable & responsive AI of Terraprisma makes Kaleidoscope + Terraprisma better and more practical against Moon Lord in whip builds.
A friend of mine started playing Terraria a couple weeks ago, so we started an expert mode playthrough together. At one point, he went looking for the Sharanga because the wiki mentioned it on the class setups page. The Sharanga... in PC Terraria 1.4.4.9
@@mnmnrt old gen console exclusive bow, crafted with 2 Molten Fury bows IIRC I haven't booted up old gen console in years (I still have the console) It converts wooden arrows to spectral arrows IIRC (also old-gen exclusive)
Being unwilling to remove outdated content because on a couple of platforms it might still be relevant is really weird when you could just simply make a dedicated page that is dedicated to those versions while keeping the standard one up to date and conflict free. Great video as always, you're an extremely knowledgeable and passionate person and I hope that one day you'll get the attention that you deserve.
They could easily dedicate a "Patch changes" section like wow's wiki does to include changes from different updates though that involves reading ALOT of patch logs. Personally I think it's an effect of a shrinking community. A game with a large robust community rarely struggles with the wiki. A game with a small/shrinking community. Good luck getting a half decent wiki
In a normal playthrough, the only times I fight Duke pre-Plantera is when I'm REALLY struggling on a boss (sometimes bosses), and desperately want to defeat said boss.
12:24 i think they're saying you should look out for critters dying at night, because then you will know where there are zombies. Seems extremely situational, but at least has a use, i guess
In the deerclops guide it lists that "In Expert Mode, Shield of Cthulhu's dash is essential and makes the fight considerably easier." HAS NOBODY ON THE WIKI FOUGHT DEERCLOPS ON EXPERT BEFORE?
@@z4molxe690 fighting deerclops is done by quickly running under his legs when he is about to attack, if you use the shield of cthulhu you will bash into his legs and bounce back directly into his slam.
@@gardrone aha. I didnt think the shield would hit and bounce under his legs since iirc, he doesnt have a hitbox there. You learn something new in this game everyday. I guess the wiki writers thought that the shield would be good for dodging attacks if you actually tried fighting it head on (where it would help).
@padlyo7150 my tactic is cheesier but efficient and can be done with little hp. Se a house near where you are fighting deerclops with a chair and campfire. Not near enough where it can aggro you if you teleport. Then set a campfire in the place you gonna figgt deerclops. Hit him face tanking and when ho us low use teleport potions. (Magic mirrors might not work well ) Sit on the chair to recharge hp faster. Recommended silver/tungsten armor+ and regen potion and iron skin potion.
They should do it like the binding of isaac wiki does where you have page versions for each different major release (in isaacs case: rebirth, afterbirth, afterbirth+, and repentance)
I feel like half the people making the wiki were trying to make a linear guide to the best strategy and loadout for each section of the game, and the rest were trying to give a detailed account of every item available at each stage so that the players could read through the corresponding pages and pick a load out that works for them. Both of these are pretty valid strategies... but then neither side bothered to communicate their goals to the other and both parties gave up half way through.
hi, it’s me the person who made the first deerclops strategy page when it was released. im gonna be real, i copied like all of it from queen bee and made minor changes, not sure how long its been since then actually
Literally how is the calamity wiki better than this?? I never even noticed these issues because I only use specific pages for specific info. This isn't even a fandom wiki issue because this isn't the fandom wiki!! HOW
I remember the squire helm used to give +4 HP/s but they nerfed that three thousand years ago.. Coupled with the lack of wings, something tells me the guide maker was stacking regen because they get hit by everything.
Unironically it's usually the first jungle drop I make. Best pre-hardmode hook under normal circumstances. Don't rag it until you try it, you'll get enough of the materials for the other stuff during normal exploration unless you're going for jungle armor.
I wanna say it was like, 1.2.4 (or maybe it was like, 1.2.8? I don't think it was 1.3 yet. iirc duke fishron wasn't a thing yet, so the 'final boss' of the game was basically golem...) Anyway, back in those days when mimics spawned from chest statues dropped their stuff (and if you had it set up in the dungeon, they could even spawn dungeon spirits cause mimics had 500 HP), paladin's hammer was heralded as like, 'the best weapon'. Disclaimer: this was back in like, 2016 when I had first played terraria and I very much do not remember the specifics other than that random factoids about mimics (don't even remember if they dropped all their stuff, just money, or just spawned dungeon spirits, leading to easy ectoplasm farms). I just remember making a big farm with lava at the bottom and traps and everything (I think for events? Maybe pumpkin moon?) and that the paladins hammer was my go to weapon, and that there was prolly a reason for that, and that I prolly hadn't come to the conclusion that it was 'the best weapon' myself.
These guides sound more like someone having an argument with their friends about what weapons and items are good in Terraria than a coherent guide for new players, let alone any players…
5:52 I was listening to this while tabbed out so I was going to initially say "oh, they clearly just meant the shrimpy truffle, that's a typo for sure" And then I read what was on screen and realized they also listed the shrimpy truffle before it...
The issue with the Terraria wiki is that it's basically a mess solely due to the wiki transition from the Fandom website to the Wiki website (formerly abandoned). The Fandom website is basically being left behind as a result of Fandom cluttering their websites with adds and generally not improving anything for people who work on website itself, so they have been transitioning slowly to the Wiki website, which as a result, has basically been left it in shambles since they are basically forced to make a lot of half assed corrections as quickly as possible, which ironically has resulted in a large amount of misinformation and constrictions as a result.
Having personally fixed up and written pages for a different wiki, it's definitely extremely annoying to see obvious lies written as fact. Or the writers personal opinions just thrown in for no reason. (Ivy Whip)
I kinda wish there was a PC-only version of the official wiki, having to visually sift through a bunch of information on a page because "oh well the 3DS version technically exists i guess so we'd better put all the information right alongside the info that actual human beings use"

@@pittagiiya The shadow chests aren't truly post Skeletron. You can explore the dungeon even on Legendary if you stack Armor+Regen and spawn enough bees with self made Bee hives. Eventually you will get a couple of golden keys from random wood chests/pots and get the coveted Shadow key.
Way back in 1.1 there was only 3 grapples in the entire game: the grapple, ivy whip, and dual hook. I would put money that every single mention of Ivy whip was written back before gem hooks were introduced in 1.2.
@@notfunnydidntlaugh5270 I use multiple hooks all the time. Great if you want to be suspended in mid-air, such as when you shimmer stuff. Ivy Whip also has the second greatest range of any pre-hardmode hook obtainable under normal circumstances, the greatest speed, and you are unlikely to have a decent hook by the time you start exploring the jungle. The ivy whip is a great and cheap upgrade to an item you use all the time in boss fights and general exploration, I don't get the ragging on it, it's not like spores and vines are a precious resource.
I saw this video and thought it came out a coulpe months ago, thinking "wow the guide really sucked back then, its probably much better now" and then saw that the video came out 2 hours ago

I remember as a challenge run following a ranger guide someone else posted to RUclips. They must’ve compiled the guide completely from the wiki because they recommended the phoenix blaster pre skeletron.
You have no idea how many wiki articles i've gone through and fixed one time, i changed the video visage as it said it was post skeletron i mentioned that it is obtainable at the beginning of the game through shimmering active/inactive stone blocks to obtain wires and it got reverted to post skeletron 2 days later
I learned Terraria because of the bad wiki. Cause I had to look through and do so much research that I learned like everything. Not sure if thats a good thing but I would definitely say the wikis straight up misinformation is a problem for new players. What helped me was specifically the item progression page.
Honestly, I like the idea to keep outdated information about the game as some, very small number of people do prefer 1.3.5 or maybe even 1.2.x to 1.4.x. However, the people who go out of their way to rollback their steam terraria, use old Tmodloader, or play on the old gen consoles, probably know enough info to play the game since they are choosing to play the older version. I personally feel that 1.4 made terraria lose a feeling that was there in 1.3.5. My favourite playthrough was a Calamity mod playthrough I did in 2020. Then my 2022 Summoner Master Mode playthrough came second as it was my first full playthrough of 1.4
I never saw that, i just searched for specific accessories or weapons. Also my sanity is way lower now too, this is absolutely ridiculous. Vote sorbet for wiki president!
When I started playing Terraria on computer about 2-3 years ago, my friend told me not to ever use the wiki and I didn't. Now i know why! Why is like half the information wrong, old, or just not there!!! Great video
When I started terraria I wanted to play mage, and then I witnessed that for eye of cthulhu I needed the wizard hat, so I waited for Tim to spawn for quite some time, and...figured out it's best not to rely on wiki for stuff like this
2:21 this is actually a 200iq suggestion. You see the wiki is suggesting you play on calamity so you can craft lifeforce potions with blood orbs after you sequence break by stealing the alchemy table from the dungeon and hoping you dont die to the guardians
Based summoner pilled ivy whip enjoyer ai generated looking wiki vs soy hardcore common sense wise femboy. Gotta be on my top 10 crossovers of all time.
When I first did a playthrough of terraria almost a decade ago, I didn't look at the wiki once. I think for the best experience, you shouldn't either. It's so much more fun to find out things on your own, not knowing what you're gonna come across.
i wish there was some updated form of viewing recipes in vanilla terraria because having to talk to the guide constantly and write down important recipes necessary for progression is a little infuriating to me
Ehh, it depends. In my opinion the best way to experience Terraria for the first time is to play it with a friend who has a little more knowledge of the game. Just because half the game's content is locked behind Hardmode, which is only hinted at in a single Guide tip that the player probably won't ever see because by that point in the game you wouldn't think to talk to the Guide anymore.
"Who is playing Terraria on the 3DS in 2024?!" I-I can only play it on a 3DS, as a matter of fact. My phone can't handle the app (and I don't even have a way to buy it), and I don't have a working PC either (and no way to buy it too). I suddenly feel kinda bad about that, somehow.
yeah, torch luck is only ever positive. The only way you can get negative luck is by killing ladybugs or town NPCs and it's a very brief duration. Torch luck will always be between 0.0 and 0.2. Using the wrong torches will bring you down from 0.2 to 0.0, but it will never bring you to a negative luck.
8:20 minor nitpick: old ones army armor sets are post moonlord matching gear, the regen buffs are insane and you can definitely use them post moonlord.
It's pretty hilarious that the wings are so undermined in the wiki. They are pretty much the one accessory that all the classes are going to be using. For harder bosses, its almost a requirement in my opinion. Sure you can beat the game without wings, but you can also technically dump antimonic acid on your genitals and survive, doesn't mean its the optimal strstegy for victory.
Uhh.. No? You can beat the game on Legendary Getfixedboi with other wingless options such as Mechanic's teleporters/Grav potions/Fishron mount + Rod of Discord. As for the optimal strategy, I guarantee that Grav potions are VASTLY superior to any wings vs Legendary Mechdusa. And the teleporters make it so easy I consider using them cheese. Other creative options are Railroads and a giant ocean with the Lava Shark mount, but these require patience to build.
2:20 erm 🤓☝, you can actually get lifeforce potions inside golden chests just above the hell layer, though extremely rare and a complete waste to use on a pre-hardmode boss
Instead of having everything clumped up together and preventing the deletion of outdated content the walkthrough should be split up and have dedicated pages for each major version then updated accordingly , with 1.3 , 1.4 and even 1.2.12785 if that tickles thy fancy , it's the version I started on and I still have it on my phone for nostalgia sake. I'd freaking love to contribute to the walkthroughs myself and organize/edit data.

On the flaming arrow page, it lists a 3ds/old gen console tip to use a molten fury with an endless quiver to get free arrows.
3ds/old gen console.
Endless quiver.
Whoever did the change literally just swapped the desktop version icon with the 3ds and old gen ones without checking if one of the included items was even around before 1.3
In addition, the absurdity of having a tip for free arrows when they are incredibly cheap to buy and craft
@@fishydids ...and of a tip to get free arrows, after you already have the infinite quiver?
Isn't the Sharanga available for 3ds?
I'm more mad that they don't recommend the Sharanga. Slappiest bow in old console. Sometimes I play old console just to relive that power trip
I think the mistake was actually caused due to the template that creates the icons itself, as setting an instance of it to display pre-1.4 icons seems to cause it to automatically display the old gen console and 3DS icons.
Whoever added it likely didn't have a good understanding of how the platform icon template worked.
I just learned about Terraria today, so first thing I did was find out where I can buy it. After going to the 14th page of Google search results, I found someone selling a used copy of the game on eBay, along with the Xbox 360 (from 2005) used to play it. Very excited to play! I sure hope the wiki has a ton of outdated info mixed in with relevant info!
(obligatory PC is better) i hope you have a lot of fun! if i remember correctly though, the ps3/xbox360 have not been updated, so if you want to continue, you will need to upgrade to pc or xbox1/ps4. as xbox360 stopped at duke fishron (aka between 1.3-1.4)

Tree approves this message.
"Please throw your arrows by hand" is amazing
As you say, the problem is that they're not willing to get rid of old info or, even better, make a sub-page for the same item/boss/whatever for an older version so every bit of information is where it belongs and where it is helpful.
The Ivy Whip being mentioned so much in particular probably goes back to the 1.0 and 1.1 days when it was the only other hook besides the basic grappling hook (talking pre-HM in 1.1).
One of my favorite lines from the Terraria Wiki is, on the trivia for the Blindfold, "a real-life blindfold usually disables the wearer's sight instead of preventing sight-deteriorating effects." Like, wow, never would've thought!
They also seem to take everything Red says completely seriously, like on the Guide's page in the trivia it says "according to Redigit, the Guide is the Wall of Flesh, the brother of the ninja inside King Slime, the great-grandson of the Nymph, and the son of the Moon Lord. *It's unknown whether these statements are jokes."*
Like seriously???? You don't even need to look at the context of what Red said to know that him being the great grandson of the Nymph (not to mention while simultaneously being the son of the Moon Lord) is a complete joke, no one was supposed to take that seriously in the slightest
Family tree:
Nymph: 1 child
Child grows up, then makes bebe with moonlord, creating two beings: The guide, and the ninja.
Wiki people: yep, seems factual to me!
you when it turns out to be true in the next update
If you read the lore, and you follow this logic, that means Moon Lord killed his mother's kind, and how is thay gonna work? Moon Lord is a literal GOD! and Dryads were the protectors of the Terraria Universe
@@a_random_lizard either that or moon lord had a child with a nymph, which I’d argue makes more sense than him killing his entire race. Still bonkers tho
Joke or not, it still came from Word of God, and deserves to be mentioned. Especially if it's just trivia
"dont delete pre 1.5 stuff" sounds like one of the boss really wants stuff they wrote not to get deleted and refuses to change it

BROOO I FELL FOR THAT TIP ABOUT THE SHROOMERANG! I basically made 11 worlds where all I did was look for shoomerang, by the 6th world I downloaded TEdit and searched for the item via that tool and found nothing. In. So. Many. Worlds. Until I got it to drop from a shroom bat randomly in another playthrough. That guy should be banned form ever editing any wiki ever again
a lesser known fact about Lifeforce Potions is that they're technically obtainable pre-Skeletron because Gold Chests that generate close enough to the underworld contain primary Cavern loot and secondary Underworld loot, including Lifeforce Potions (it also results in being able to obtain Meteorite Bars pre-evil boss because they're part of the secondary Underworld loot). the problem is that this piece of information is HIDDEN IN THE TIPS SECTION OF THE METEORITE BAR ARTICLE, it doesn't even get mentioned on the article for Gold Chests which is fairly informative regarding Underground and Cavern loot that can be obtained.
it's so bad that i only knew of this fact by RANDOMLY reading the Meteorite Bar article to remember how many bars i need for everything, and not because i thoroughly read the Gold Chest article to get an idea of how likely i am to get the item i want
It *does* get meantioned in the arcticle for chests overall though.
"Cavern
Gold Chests that spawn within 250 blocks of the bottom of the world will generate the same common items as Shadow Chests."

To be fair, WoS and WoF is buffed in both remixed and gfb seeds
Yeah, there's a note under WoS/WoF that specifies they only matter in DDU/GFB worlds; they're basically a magic version of the Uzi there (except for projectile speed ofc, since the Uzi converts Musket Balls and Tungsten Bullets into High Velocity Bullets).
I contributed a lot to the class setups page, specifically Summoner, and the wiki editors kept reverting it because they were absolutely clueless, they didn't even know that Firecracker + Stardust Dragon is better than Kaleidoscope + Terraprisma.
That's not really the case though. Dragon Cracker has higher raw DPS, but in practice the vastly higher range of Kaleidoscope combined with the vastly more reliable & responsive AI of Terraprisma makes Kaleidoscope + Terraprisma better and more practical against Moon Lord in whip builds.
@@Shyguymask Yeah but to be honest this debate isn't as important as it used to be since the discovery of mixing Terraprisma with Dragons.

A friend of mine started playing Terraria a couple weeks ago, so we started an expert mode playthrough together. At one point, he went looking for the Sharanga because the wiki mentioned it on the class setups page.
The Sharanga... in PC Terraria 1.4.4.9
what's the sharanga?
@@mnmnrt old gen console exclusive bow, crafted with 2 Molten Fury bows IIRC
I haven't booted up old gen console in years (I still have the console)
It converts wooden arrows to spectral arrows IIRC (also old-gen exclusive)
Being unwilling to remove outdated content because on a couple of platforms it might still be relevant is really weird when you could just simply make a dedicated page that is dedicated to those versions while keeping the standard one up to date and conflict free.
Great video as always, you're an extremely knowledgeable and passionate person and I hope that one day you'll get the attention that you deserve.
They could easily dedicate a "Patch changes" section like wow's wiki does to include changes from different updates though that involves reading ALOT of patch logs. Personally I think it's an effect of a shrinking community. A game with a large robust community rarely struggles with the wiki. A game with a small/shrinking community. Good luck getting a half decent wiki

Separate wiki's more like. Have the normal wiki and then the horribly outdated one
They should do it like the binding of isaac wiki does where you have page versions for each different major release (in isaacs case: rebirth, afterbirth, afterbirth+, and repentance)
I feel like half the people making the wiki were trying to make a linear guide to the best strategy and loadout for each section of the game, and the rest were trying to give a detailed account of every item available at each stage so that the players could read through the corresponding pages and pick a load out that works for them. Both of these are pretty valid strategies... but then neither side bothered to communicate their goals to the other and both parties gave up half way through.
hi, it’s me the person who made the first deerclops strategy page when it was released. im gonna be real, i copied like all of it from queen bee and made minor changes, not sure how long its been since then actually
lmao, that's incredible

I will never forgive the wiki for telling younger me that gem robes and staves were a great idea against the WoF
I like the thought that the person who wrote the wiki somehow beat the entire game without using wings once.

8:51 The Zenith is a very powerful weapon, and has higher DPS than the Cactus Sword.

Unironically it's usually the first jungle drop I make. Best pre-hardmode hook under normal circumstances. Don't rag it until you try it, you'll get enough of the materials for the other stuff during normal exploration unless you're going for jungle armor.
my favorite instance of this type of situation on the wiki is the Paladin's Hammer page, saying it potentially has higher DPS than Terra Blade
lol what
I like the Paladin's hammer but what
I mean... Maybe on older mobile versions, but uh
Terra Blade's stronger (although depending on the version, the difference varies
I wanna say it was like, 1.2.4 (or maybe it was like, 1.2.8? I don't think it was 1.3 yet. iirc duke fishron wasn't a thing yet, so the 'final boss' of the game was basically golem...) Anyway, back in those days when mimics spawned from chest statues dropped their stuff (and if you had it set up in the dungeon, they could even spawn dungeon spirits cause mimics had 500 HP), paladin's hammer was heralded as like, 'the best weapon'.
Disclaimer: this was back in like, 2016 when I had first played terraria and I very much do not remember the specifics other than that random factoids about mimics (don't even remember if they dropped all their stuff, just money, or just spawned dungeon spirits, leading to easy ectoplasm farms). I just remember making a big farm with lava at the bottom and traps and everything (I think for events? Maybe pumpkin moon?) and that the paladins hammer was my go to weapon, and that there was prolly a reason for that, and that I prolly hadn't come to the conclusion that it was 'the best weapon' myself.
These guides sound more like someone having an argument with their friends about what weapons and items are good in Terraria than a coherent guide for new players, let alone any players…
I like ivy whip though so it should definitely be listed twice as a key progression item
5:52 I was listening to this while tabbed out so I was going to initially say "oh, they clearly just meant the shrimpy truffle, that's a typo for sure"
And then I read what was on screen and realized they also listed the shrimpy truffle before it...
The issue with the Terraria wiki is that it's basically a mess solely due to the wiki transition from the Fandom website to the Wiki website (formerly abandoned). The Fandom website is basically being left behind as a result of Fandom cluttering their websites with adds and generally not improving anything for people who work on website itself, so they have been transitioning slowly to the Wiki website, which as a result, has basically been left it in shambles since they are basically forced to make a lot of half assed corrections as quickly as possible, which ironically has resulted in a large amount of misinformation and constrictions as a result.

the ivy whip thing is actually hilarious
Way back in 1.1 there was only 3 grapples in the entire game: the grapple, ivy whip, and dual hook. I would put money that every single mention of Ivy whip was written back before gem hooks were introduced in 1.2.
They also said that it's good because it has multiple hooks. The mechanic that pretty much nobody ever uses.
@@notfunnydidntlaugh5270I value multihooks.
@@notfunnydidntlaugh5270 I use multiple hooks all the time. Great if you want to be suspended in mid-air, such as when you shimmer stuff. Ivy Whip also has the second greatest range of any pre-hardmode hook obtainable under normal circumstances, the greatest speed, and you are unlikely to have a decent hook by the time you start exploring the jungle. The ivy whip is a great and cheap upgrade to an item you use all the time in boss fights and general exploration, I don't get the ragging on it, it's not like spores and vines are a precious resource.

i mentioned that it is obtainable at the beginning of the game through shimmering active/inactive stone blocks to obtain wires and it got reverted to post skeletron 2 days later
I learned Terraria because of the bad wiki. Cause I had to look through and do so much research that I learned like everything. Not sure if thats a good thing but I would definitely say the wikis straight up misinformation is a problem for new players. What helped me was specifically the item progression page.
Honestly, I like the idea to keep outdated information about the game as some, very small number of people do prefer 1.3.5 or maybe even 1.2.x to 1.4.x. However, the people who go out of their way to rollback their steam terraria, use old Tmodloader, or play on the old gen consoles, probably know enough info to play the game since they are choosing to play the older version.
I personally feel that 1.4 made terraria lose a feeling that was there in 1.3.5. My favourite playthrough was a Calamity mod playthrough I did in 2020. Then my 2022 Summoner Master Mode playthrough came second as it was my first full playthrough of 1.4

When I started terraria I wanted to play mage, and then I witnessed that for eye of cthulhu I needed the wizard hat, so I waited for Tim to spawn for quite some time, and...figured out it's best not to rely on wiki for stuff like this
You use the wiki to look up what items do and how to obtain them and just ignore the spider web of guides and weapon comparisons

i wish there was some updated form of viewing recipes in vanilla terraria because having to talk to the guide constantly and write down important recipes necessary for progression is a little infuriating to me
Ehh, it depends. In my opinion the best way to experience Terraria for the first time is to play it with a friend who has a little more knowledge of the game. Just because half the game's content is locked behind Hardmode, which is only hinted at in a single Guide tip that the player probably won't ever see because by that point in the game you wouldn't think to talk to the Guide anymore.

It's pretty hilarious that the wings are so undermined in the wiki. They are pretty much the one accessory that all the classes are going to be using. For harder bosses, its almost a requirement in my opinion.
Sure you can beat the game without wings, but you can also technically dump antimonic acid on your genitals and survive, doesn't mean its the optimal strstegy for victory.
Uhh.. No? You can beat the game on Legendary Getfixedboi with other wingless options such as Mechanic's teleporters/Grav potions/Fishron mount + Rod of Discord.
As for the optimal strategy, I guarantee that Grav potions are VASTLY superior to any wings vs Legendary Mechdusa.
And the teleporters make it so easy I consider using them cheese.

Instead of having everything clumped up together and preventing the deletion of outdated content the walkthrough should be split up and have dedicated pages for each major version then updated accordingly , with 1.3 , 1.4 and even 1.2.12785 if that tickles thy fancy , it's the version I started on and I still have it on my phone for nostalgia sake.
