Guide:Crafting a Cell Phone



The Cell Phone, like other notable compound items Ankh Shield and Terra Blade, is an extremely powerful and helpful item to have on hand. Like a real life cell phone, it can tell you the weather, the time, where you are, and can count numbers, but you can't play cool video games on it. Its usefulness however comes with a cost; it takes a lot - A LOT - of work to create. This page will guide you on how to create this amazing item.

The Mirror
The Magic Mirror is an extremely easy item to obtain, as it only really requires finding an underground chest. Snow dwellers may opt for the functionally identical, and also usable, Ice Mirror instead, found in icy chests.

Watch
There are six varieties of watches, but you will need one of the two highest-quality varieties, which display to the nearest minute (a real-life second).

To craft, you will need 40 Gold/Platinum Ore (one or the other, do not mix) blocks and 3 Iron/Lead Ore blocks. Craft all of these into their respective ingots, and turn the iron/lead into chains. Now assemble a Gold or Platinum Watch with a table and chair.

Compass
The compass can be obtained from the death of multiple monsters, including Mother Slimes, Piranhas, Snow Flinxs, Undead and Armored Vikings, and Mimics.

Depth Meter
It is rarely dropped by Cave Bats.

The Watch, Compass and Depth Meter are combined to create a GPS.

Fish Finder
The Fisherman's Pocket Guide, Weather Radio and Sextant are all obtained from the Angler and are combined to make Fish Finder.

Tally Counter
A Tally Counter can be found held by one of the creatures of the Dungeon. Kill it to recieve this item.

Radar
Possibly the easiest item to obtain, the Radar can be found in surface chests.

Lifeform Analyzer
Lifeform Analyzer can be bought from the Travelling Merchant.

Combine the Radar, Lifeform Analyzer and Tally Counter to make a R.E.K. 3000.

Stopwatch and DPS Meter
Both sold by the Travelling Merchant.

Metal Detector
The Metal Detector is arguably the hardest item to obtain; it is only dropped by the extremely rare Nymph.

Combine these three items to obtain a Goblin Tech.

Combine the GPS, Fish Finder, REK 3000 and Goblin Tech to form a PDA, which is combined with the mirror item to make the Cell Phone.

Farming
To obtain these items, you may need to farm them. For example, a certain underground farm, possibly near the dungeon, could be used to farm some totems. This section is a work in progress.
