Luminite Bar

Luminite Bars are a type of bar used to craft all four sets of endgame armor and tools as well as other endgame items. The only way to obtain it is to craft it from Luminite, which is dropped from the Moon Lord, at an Ancient Manipulator. Each time the Moon Lord is killed, it drops enough Luminite for 17-25 bars ( 21-27 in Expert/Master mode).

Crafting all items (excluding ammunition) requires a total of 317 Luminite Bars (1,268 Luminite; requires defeating the Moon Lord 15–19 / times). Crafting all items pertaining to one type of Lunar Fragment (i.e., armor, wings, pickaxe, and hamaxe) requires 68 Luminite Bars (204 Luminite) in addition to 85 of the Lunar Fragment; this requires defeating the Moon Lord only 3 / times.

Trivia

 * Prior to Desktop 1.4.0.1, Luminite Bars were the only bar that could stack past 99, up to 999. In other versions of the game, this still applies.
 * There exists an unused version of Luminite Bars added in 1.3.0.1 called Gejakite Bars, which has a white and yellow hue compared to Luminite Bars which have a black and blue hue. It was sold by the Traveling Merchant for -1 which is presumably a placeholder. It was later removed in 1.3.0.2.
