Luminite

Luminite is a Hardmode ore dropped exclusively by the Moon Lord in stacks of 70–90. It can be used to craft Luminite Bars, which can then be used to craft several end-game items, like the Solar, Nebula, Vortex, and Stardust tools and armor(Including arrows, Luminite Bullets, void dye and the Drill Containment Unit).

Crafting all items requires 1,268 Luminite, which requires defeating Moon Lord 15–19 / times.

Tips

 * Selling Void Monoliths is much more profitable than selling the Luminite or its bars.

Trivia

 * In contrast to most ores, its bars are not crafted at a Furnace or Forge, and it is not detected by Spelunker Potion, the Magic Lantern, Metal Detector, or Suspicious Looking Tentacle. It also does not have a specific associated armor set or sword, does not have an alternative ore, and despite being an endgame ore, it can be mined with any tier of Pickaxe.
 * Luminite is referred to as "Lunar Ore" in the game's source code.


 * Wings made from Luminite are the only craftable wings that do not require Souls of Flight.


 * Luminite is also a key item in the 2001 game . But despite the strong similarities between the ores (same name, same colours and same sphere-like shape) it has not been confirmed yet that it's reference to Devil May Cry.
