Talk:Tombstones

what you already know about tombstones: 1. a placed tombstone can't do damage, but what about one that has been mid dropped, would it be useful for defeating eye of Cthulhu? would a tombstone that had been on purposely dropped by the player do the foggiest bit of damage? you can find out, by experimenting, but i would be wise to test out these theories first, talk about the tombstone a little and how it helped you(such as conserving wood) I feel tombstones should do a LOT more damage after you die. At the very least kill whatever killed you. Revenge by tombstone.


 * I have not seen any evidence in the code to suggest that the tombstone projectile causes any damage. The projectile itself has no damage specified, and the function that creates it in the player death code does not give it any damage either. --GauHelldragon2 (talk) 16:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Golden Tombstones
A player will always drop a tombstone (unless it's a hardcore player). But I have only seen rich players drop Golden Tombstones. If a poor player dies, it's a normal Tombstone. If they're rich, a Golden Tombstone drops. Of course this will need further verification before the page is edited, that would be great. SUPERMECHM500 (talk) 03:54, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Update: I killed myself 6 times with 9 platinum on me, all 6 times dropped a golden. I will go ahead and update the wiki page. SUPERMECHM500 (talk) 03:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC)


 * This is already mentioned on the page, in the third paragraph: "Variants are chosen randomly upon death. Golden Tombstones drop when the player had more than in their inventory." . --Silverthedragon (talk) 04:03, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Oh ok, I must be blind. Thanks for pointing that out, although now that you mentioned it, it must have been there forever. :P SUPERMECHM500 (talk) 04:10, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
