Talk:Crimson Altar

Regarding the spawn bug: Demon Altars do this as well, would this be considered an actual bug? Dochoncho (talk)

Pwnhammer
Is it normal that you can't break Crimson Altars with the Pwnhammer? 82.170.137.124 12:33, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You have to defeat the wall of flesh before you can break any crimson (or demon) altars on a new world. 81.58.141.190 14:25, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Bugs?
"When breaking Crimson Altars a bug might hapen that makes world blessed with adamantite, cobalt and mythril instead of the new 1.2 ores." Is this actually a bug? Which is to say, is the ore set you receive actually supposed to depend on whether you have Crimson or Corruption? I would have expected that the new Hardmode ores would behave like the new pre-Hardmode ores. You get one or the other of each pair (iron/lead etc), but it can be any mixture of new or old ores for any given world.

Also, how has this even been identified if the altars can't be broken? Can they be broken with something other than the Pwnhammer, or is the unbreakability a new bug in 1.2.0.2 that wasn't in the initial 1.2 update? -- Sorceror Nobody (talk) 19:13, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

no idea where the unbreakable bug idea came from, but I've removed it. Broke about 6 after going hard mode with a pwnhammer. And the ores that are chosen for the world are random- either cobalt/other one, Mythril/Orichalcum or Adamantium/Titanium. Not all of one column or the other, but 1 of each.

I've never run into a problem breaking either demon or crimson altars, and I've used multiple different hammers. As for having your world blessed with the new ores or not, I'm pretty sure that when the world is generated it determines if you're going to have the pre 1.2 ore or the new ores. You might have all new ores, you might not have any, but your fairly likely to have some sort of combination.

Um, Creepy?!
I SWEAR I saw one of the eyeballs BLINK!!

incomplete craftig section
abbemination is missing from the crafting section, i am not sure if the crimson altar is able to craft worm food ( or if demon altar is able to craft bloody spines ) but i'll test it when i am home ( currently staying at a place where i cant play terraria for a week ) and i'm pretty sure it should be added to crafting section to if my theorie turns true
