After my first run to hardmode I made a small world to set my actual house in. I ran the bosses all the way up to, not including, the WoF. Made a Hellevator and seached the map to see what biome was in what direction. All took me about 3.45 hrs. It all depends on your gear. My actual first run through was on a large map starting from scratch. Took me a little over a day to get to WoF. Depends on map size for the traveling. My Hell is 3000ft below for large map, small map is 1214ft. big difference
