Metal Detector

The Metal Detector is an accessory that displays the most valuable object, such as ores, chests, Life Crystals or pots around the player. It is a 50% drop from the Nymph in Normal Mode, and a 100% drop from the Nymph in Expert Mode. Rather than showing you the location of certain ores and treasures it will only show a text on the right side of the screen. The arrow next to the message will not point in the direction of any ores or treasures.

This item might become more useful if you pair it together with a Spelunker Potion to reveal the location of all nearby valuable objects.

Some ores are more valuable than others so it will be very beneficial to later hardmode players searching for titanium, adamantite, and chlorophyte. However, earlier hardmode players will have more difficulties finding ores like palladium, cobalt, orichalcum, and mythril.

Crafting
This item can only be obtained from the nymph and has no crafting recipe.
