Talk:Nazar

Hardmode-exclusive?
Do these drop exclusively in hard mode?
 * No, I found mine when exploring the dungeon the first time, before killing the Wall of Flesh.
 * On a related note, its not possible to craft the Ankh Charm pre hardmode. Blindfold is only dropped by hardmode enemies.
 * I don't think it's a good idea to hunt for Nazar from Cursed Skulls in hardmode. My friend and I have already spent two days trying and we haven't found anything. I'm going to test and see how long it takes in pre-hardmode instead, since hardmode has been unsuccessful.
 * I agree with you. Trying to farm them in hardmode is difficult as they tend to spawn less frequently than the hoards of other skeletal hardmode mobs and large cursed skulls, whom also are a rare sight. I surmised the same as you, but found that the dungeon I first generated ended up with hardly any Cursed Skull spawns, but instead hoards of angry bones and a tally of mages. Not sure if their spawn has been changed somehow or I'm just being unlucky. ( If I'm not supposed to use the discussion page like this, I apologize.)
 * Cont. I decided that Cursed Skulls spawns being unique to dungeons upon creation was bogus and instead focused on when I met them frequently. I concluded that they were common in tight corridors and dead-end tunnels and such. So I decided to find a dead-end room at the bottom of the dungeon, they spawned way more frequently than when in an open more central room. So while I can't say for sure if their spawn is different from other mobs, they access you easier and are notably more frequent if you do this. Take it with a grain of salt though. I'll also say that I used full Tiki gear, with the pendant and beetle to enhance them and they pretty much did the killing for me while I held a blue candle to increase spawn rates.
 * Yeah, I recommend everyone go to pre-hardmode dungeon if you're trying to get this from Cursed Skulls. Just go as far down as you can in the dungeon and hold a blue candle, Cursed Skulls should start spawning a lot. Already got Nazar in just a few minutes, rather than the TWO DAYS my friend spent in hardmode dungeon trying to get it to no avail.

Trivia about Cursed Hammers in Dungeon
Why does the trivia say that cursed hammers spawn in the hardmode dungeon? I'm pretty sure they only spawn in underground corruption.
 * Someone may have had Underground Corruption around the dungeon and decided that this was the case. Pretty sure it's not true, though.
 * I play on my Wii U and on PC and on the Wii U I have never seen any cursed skulls or rusty armored bones in hardmode. But on the PC the opposite happened to me. My dungeon had so many cursed skulls and giant cursed skulls I kept on dying. P.S. dude with edit on top: it is true that crimson axes spawn in dungeon I was on my world where the crimson was on the exact opposite side of the world.
