Trust me you have a lot to do but its not fun to look it up. Try talking to the guide and see the items you can make with the stuff you have.

Talk to the guide a lot, he'll give you essential guidance.

But the first few things you need to do are craft or obtain your basic workstations.

Open the inventory screen and provide you're carrying enough wood, you'll be able to craft a simple workbench.
Place down the workbench, and when you stand near it you'll be able to craft more things.

The next few things you'll need to craft are a furnace, and an anvil.
Furnaces require stone and torches, torches are made from wood and gel (dropped by defeated slimes).
Anvils require some iron or lead ore.

Once you have these basic crafting stations ready, you'll be able to turn resources you've found into weapons and armor.
If you mouse-over any item in your inventory, it'll display a tooltip.
If the tooltip specifies "material", you'll be able to craft it something other things with the right materials and crafting stations.
Show materials to the guide and you can discover what you can craft with it.

Once you understand these fundamentals, you're well on your way to exploration, progression, and discovery.

This is all assuming you're playing normal/expert/master, Journey mode has different mechanics which I'm not familiar with for having not tried it yet.

note that the simple material weapons like gold/platinum broadsword are not that good and try to find something like a trident or boomerang for a decent weapon, mats should be used for armour first tools second and random crafting third

wait for that giant eyeball in the middle to show up at night and try to rape you

Forgot to mention that anvils can also be bought from the merchant NPC.

NPCs will show up when you meet certain conditions, and have a suitable living area built for them.

A suitable living area consists of a structure that's at least 6 tiles high and I think 8 tiles wide, and has a table, a chair, a light source, and walls, as well as a door.

When you have the inventory open, on the right-side you can find the housing UI where you can inspect a structure to see if it is suitable or not.
If it's suitable, NPCs will be able to move in, but only during the day time.

You can craft everything that you need for a house out of wood, but there are lots of suitable materials you can use. The image you used in the OP post even has examples of what a house should look like.

The condition for the merchant NPC to show up is to carry at least 50 silver coins.

you should be running down caves to try and find chests, also don't bother with the dungeon (big building with the old man outside it) until you've got at least crimtane/demonite armor

A general strategy for eye of cthulhu is to build a generic battle arena consisting of a few wooden platforms, and then to buy a few hundred shurikens from the merchant.

You need the wooden platforms for vertical manoeuvrability, otherwise the eye will generally tear you apart if you like mobility accessories.

don't bother caving
start making hellevators, just dig straight down to the underworld and look for chests, houses, and statues along the way
try to make them roughly a screen apart from each other (later on when you get a weapon that will emit light through walls you can use it to search more thoroughly)

You also shouldn't descend into the dungeon if you haven't yet defeated the guardian, otherwise you'll get insta-killed at a certain depth.

The old man can be talked to at night time to summon this boss. Some wooden platforms are recommended outside of the dungeon barracks.
Also start the fight at night-fall, if you fail to defeat the boss before sunrise, it can insta-kill you.

For inexperienced players that's a good way to get yourself killed by fall damage or unexpected hazards.

A proper hellevator should have lots of rope lowered down so you can slide down safely and watch out for any threats.

Hellevators naturally fill with water while digging. He should be fine.

However, that user is partially right, you don't want to bother caving, at least in normal caves. If you can help it, dig into the ice/jungle/desert undergrounds, those are full of good biome-specific loot, and the Underground Jungle has a higher chance of giving a Magic Mirror, which is one of the best items in the game.

1. Build a shelter
2. Build another shelter
3. Go exploring to the oceans on both ends of your world. Find any pyramids or giant trees? Plunder them
4. Once you get an explosive (grenade, bomb, dynamite) build a 3rd house.
5. Buy a ton of bombs from the Demolitionist, and use them to blow your way into your Crimson/Corruption biome and smash the glowing orbs for good equipment

You stop shilling this game just because it got a new shitty update that completely ruins NPCs.

is terraria 2d minecraft?

>5. Buy a ton of bombs from the Demolitionist, and use them to blow your way into your Crimson/Corruption biome and smash the glowing orbs for good equipment

Every third orb you smash will spawn a boss, so you need to be prepared for that.
It's safe to smash just two orbs and come back later though.

Smashing orbs will also cause meteorites to strike the world's surface, meteorite ore being a valuable resource.

t. communist
you can literally run your gulag block horizontally now and spray the correct biome around the npc

No, it's much better.

Yeah pretty much, but with cooler items

Terraria is much more focused on combat, which it does way better. Progression is also a lot smoother and it's a way longer game (about 20 hours to beat the Ender Dragon vs about 60 to beat the Moon Lord)

What? Early game, meteorite gear is useful.

It's the first hamaxe you can acquire, there are some decent melee and magic weapons you can craft, and having the full set of meteorite armor gives you unlimited mana for the space gun. Plus meteor shots are the best bullets for pre-hard mode.

Once you hit hard mode, you can then craft a Meteor Staff which is a pretty damn good magic weapon.

user it... doesn't spawn from that anymore.. I'm sorry

meteors dont even fall now till after you beat the first corruption boss

>is to build a generic battle arena consisting of a few wooden platforms
dont even need that.
if your starting biome is fairly flat that's all you need really.

Looking it up, it looks like the conditions have changed.

>A meteorite crash site has a 50% chance of spawning after a Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart is smashed. Meteorites can only spawn in a world after the Eater of Worlds or the Brain of Cthulhu is defeated.

So, smashing orbs will still cause meteors to drop, but it's not progress locked behind the crimson/corruption boss.

You want at least some elevation so you can avoid the eye of cthulhu's attack patterns with a degree of pattern manipulation.

This is assuming you have zero mobility accessories like a double jump or running shoes, things that would help you get away from the eye when it starts lunging.

Minecraft is a a voxel game with a focus on building, mining, crafting and exploring.

Terraria is a voxel game with a focus on tiered boss fights, gear tiers, min-maxxing DPS and exploring. You dont really do any building, crafting or mining in it.

They're totally different games.

How do I into being a wizard in this game? The last time I did a full run (years ago) i was a gun man

is master mode worth it bros?

>Terraria is a voxel game
You mean pixel right? Voxels have three dimensions.

You'll want to get some early magic weapons which are crafted with similar grades of gem stones and metal ores. Which ores are generated on your map will semi-dictate the availability of these wands.

Crimson/Corruption biomes and their orbs will often drop magic oriented weapons or accessories, particularly corruption.

In the underground jungle you may find blue flowers called Nature's Gift, which reduces mana consumption by 6%.
It can be later crafted into a Mana Flower, which can crafted into further improved accessories such as the Arcane Flower, the Magnet Flower, and the Mana Cloak.

Haven't tried it but I'm generally hearing no.
It's apparently just expert mode with no natural health regen and enemies dealing more damage, with only some statues as rewards or something.
