Guide:Hardcore

Welcome to Hardcore! With only one life, your trusty tools, and the environment around you, you are ready to embark on a dangerous journey. Only two things are different, a special item, and you only have one life. Those are the only changes. However, you are now playing a much harder game. With only one life, you have to be more careful when it comes to traps, bosses, events, and just plain exploring. But do not worry. This guide will tell you many tips and tricks for surviving in the mortal plane.

Shelter
Right away, build a shelter. You can use this to hide from enemies during the night. It is recommended to make multiple shelters so you always have a place nearby to restore health, manage your inventory and store your items.

General Tips

 * Until you are geared up, explore by day. Do not go out during the first few nights, especially not during a Blood Moon. In cases of a Blood Moon, make sure to block the entrances, so enemies can not get in.
 * Get some health and mana restoring items. With just one life, you do not want to die out there.
 * Use Recall Potions to quickly get home if you are far from shelter, or if you are on low health and need to heal safely.
 * Try to obtain armor, Mana Crystals and Life Crystals as soon as possible. They can be vital to your survival.
 * Use your NPCs! They all have helpful functions that you can use like shops, help with crafting, and best of all, healing.
 * Play with friends. There is nothing better than someone to help you out and keep you company. They can also be in Hardcore mode for an even better experience.
