Bro Tip: When you beat the WoF... Stay away from the corruption. Well, not "Away" But refrain from digging under it. A world eater will spawn at least Twice in ten minutes from my experience. Clingers group 5 to 1 square foot, and corruptors follow you around after you leave the corruption and spread the corruption when they spit on the ground in the hallowed, or on neutral area. To prepare for the corruption, (And WoF) Find tons of Life Crystals.. Very important. Also, if you have a cloud in a bottle (Or balloon, ) Find as many fallen stars as you can (200 for full mana i believe) And craft mana stars. Get at least 50 mana, and find a Magic Mirror (For spawning to spawn Just in case,) A light orb (To see while you are digging) and the star cloak (Very rare, but very helpful, I dunno if its pre-HM though.) Also, Get armor (Like the necro armor) That reduces your bullet uses on the minishark. For defeating the WoF (And hardmode bosses) Get a mana-consuming weapon, exhaust your mana with it, and switch to the minishark while dodging. Good stuffs. GL. HF.
