Value table
The value table still shows higher value for gold and platinum than meteorite, demonite and crimtane. --Superwill771 (talk) 21:01, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Expert mode

Drop rate incorrect or do i have terrible luck
I have killed 3 nymphs so far, and statistically i should have gotten it by now, right? It’s a 50% chance each time so the odds of me not getting it after the third time are a half of a half of a half, or somewhere close to 6.25% if my math is right. So do i just have awful luck or is something listed wrong here? I play console so there is not actual available luck factor in game. Thirteen13.exe | Message Wall | Contribs 13:21, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 6.25% is nowhere near being extremely unlucky. As there are 7M players, with your 6.25%, 450k people would have a "too unlucky roll". Come back with a 1/10000000 (23 dryads in a row not dropping it) and it may start to be extraordinary. --Lightg4 (talk) 15:08, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * And also your math is wrong. 50%^3 isn't 6.25%, it's 12.5%.

Range clarification...
On desktop, console, and mobile, the detection radius is "85 blocks (170 feet) horizontally and 60 blocks (120 feet) vertically." Could anybody clarify if that means the total range is 85 blocks above or below the player and 60 blocks to the left or right of the player? Picture to better explain what I mean: Either way, the answer should be added to the main page to make it more clear.
