Guide talk:Harvesting Souls

Statue farming doesn't work anymore
I don't think (statue spawned) corrupt bunnies give souls as of 1.2 -- I couldn't get any to spawn personally, and neither can Reddit. I'll make the change if no one can show that they still do. --Ergane (talk) 03:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Well done, sir
"Souls of Night are found deep underground in Corrupt caverns. The easiest way to identify the appropriate regions are the background music, green fireballs being shot at you, and a rapidly declining health meter if you are new to Hardmode." this part made me laugh. --GauHelldragon 03:05, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Light???
There is no way to farm light anymore except for walking around and killing monsters but thats not really a good way to gather them.

you can make a big room in the dungeon and make it hallow then you get tons of souls

Intro paragraph says
"[Souls are valuable because] They are used in the vast majority of important Hardmode crafting."

Is this true in the latest version?

Souls of fright
it says even when you have acces to every item skeletron prime is hard. maybe fix that because skeletrons prime is easy to kill 10 of each night with offensive beetle and a flairon. also skeletreon prime is easier than the destroyer when you are on multiplayer with more than 3 people.

Emmet smash (talk) 23:04, 25 October 2017 (ET) Emmet smash (talk) 23:04, 25 October 2017 (ET)== "Soul of Night specific" and "Dungeon farming" ==

Afaik, both of these are false, at least on pc 1.3.5.3. Light/Night souls can't drop if the player is in the dungeon, and eater of worlds can't drop souls. Can't remove info myself because of abuse filter: section removal. 86.115.19.146 07:24, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

"Dungeon farming is doable(I do it)"
Soul of NIGHT is farmable Because I've tested it on Xbox 360 (maybe it's only on console as of the August 2016 update)but maybe Souls of Light can't be farmed from the dungeon. 19:02, 25 October 2017 Emmet smash (talk) 23:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Petition to merge this page with "Guide: Enemy Farming"
The reasoning is: Soul farming is an important part of the game, but i feel like the Enemy farming one could cover it. Just my opinion on this, what do you think? Bame66 (talk) 00:08, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Harvesting souls is, well, farming enemies.
 * Both pages need a rewrite, especially the enemy farming one (i feel like it should talk more about specific farms like Mimics or Ectoplasm instead of the basics of afk farming)
 * Even if we add more info to soul farming, the guide will probably still be pretty short compared to the others, as there isn't too much to add.


 * I support this: Enemy farming is going to be a small page once that i finish to clean it up, so merging this guide can help to make it more attractive. It might make these specific farms harder to find, but it's possible to link pages to a specific subsection (like, Guide:Practical Tips#Combat). -- Murrayzero (talk) 11:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
