Crates

Crates are grab bag-type items which can be hooked while fishing, containing random loot such as ores, bars, potions, accessories, and other items. In addition, biome-specific crates can contain biome-specific loot. Their content can be unloaded by using. They can also be placed.

If fishing in water with a Fishing Power of at least 50 and the line does not break, there is a 10% chance to harvest crates normally and 20% when fishing with a Crate Potion.

The kind of crate the player obtains is dependent on the Fishing Power, with higher Fishing Power increasing the probabilities of rarer crates. As an example, fishing with a Fishing Power of 100 in The Corruption would yield crates with the following probabilities: Golden Crate: 6.57%; Corrupt Crate: 8.90%; Iron Crate: 28.37%; Wooden Crate: 56.16%

Rarer crate types contain more valuable loot, and the biome crates can have items otherwise found only in the matching biome chests. When fishing in an area with multiple biomes, the crate priority is, from highest to lowest, Corruption > Crimson > Hallowed > Dungeon > Jungle > Sky. For example, when a Floating Island is Corrupted and changes to Corruption, Sky Crates will no longer be harvested.

The currently only have Wooden Crates, Iron Crates and Golden Crates.

Tips

 * Crates collected before Hardmode, but saved to open during Hardmode, will yield Hardmode ores and bars. Stockpiling them while fishing is a lot safer and can give players a big head start when entering Hardmode.
 * The crates can supply a few other Hardmode-exclusive items: The will be in Wooden. Iron, and Gold crates;  Corrupt or Crimson crates can have Souls of Night and either Cursed Flames or Ichor.
 * The higher the Fishing Power, the greater the chances for crates. See Fishing Power and Fishing § Tips for information and recommendations about how to increase Fishing Power.
