Getting started in Expert Mode
Expert Mode is an extra-difficult mode introduced in Terraria version 1.3.0.1 which makes the following happen: Now, if you think you're ready for the game, then let's jump right into the action.
 * Enemies have twice the health and damage output but drop more loot
 * Some enemies have modified AI to make it more difficult
 * Bosses have scaled health depending on the amount of players and some have revamped AI
 * Regeneration and vampiric healing is less effective
 * If you're a Softcore player you lose 75% of your coins rather than 50%, and enemies can steal any dropped money they walk into
 * You stay dead longer
 * Defense is revamped to become more effective than in Normal Mode

Day 1
The beginning spawn is like any other spawn; you will be in a forest with the Guide next to you and your inventory has Copper tools (if you made a new character). Now, you should probably go cut down some trees the moment you hear the sound that plays when the loading screen transitions into the game. While you're busy cutting away trees, kill any Slimes that come near you as you'll need their Gel (and they do pack a punch with Blue Slimes dealing 14 damage and having 50 health). Survey the land around you; if there is any sign of red or purple grass and trees then steer VERY CLEAR of it. Eaters of Souls and Face Monsters can kill you in two hits. Look for any Iron or any higher tier ore in the ground too, as they'll benefit you in the earlygame, especially if there's a lot of it near the surface. Be sure to get Stone as well when you're getting ore. Check for chests on the surface, as you'll find items like Recall Potions and a decent amount of money from pots if you want to get the Merchant in the first day. Make sure to take any chests you find with you so you don't waste any Iron or Lead.

Once you get around 150-200 Wood, build a Workbench if you haven't already and a small home (whether you built it with wood or in a cave, it doesn't matter) and in addition to the Workbench, build a Furnace somewhere near your establishment (20 Stone, 4 Wood, 3 Torches) so you can make some bars out of any ores you gained. If you've got enough ore for items, be sure to get the pickaxe first (unless it's Copper or maybe Tin, then use it on a broadsword) as it'll help you the most when it comes to saving time. If you've got the time and the money, build a second house for the Merchant to appear and place a Campfire anywhere near your houses. If you have a sword, bow and other combat items

Before night ends, you should have probably gotten these:

If you happen to find uncommon or rare accessories (like an Aglet or maybe even Hermes Boots) then immediately equip them as they'll most likely improve your survivability especially if they have modifiers such as Warding or Violent.

Night 1
Once it gets dark, that's when Expert Mode shows its true form. Hopefully your home is secure and you can defend yourself if necessary, as Zombies and Demon Eyes will appear all over the place like they would in Normal Mode. The difference now is that zombies now have health near or at 100 and Demon Eyes usually have 120 now. In addition, Zombies will hold arms and will do more damage from a longer distance, making them more difficult to dispatch at close range.

More coming.
