Talk:Moon Stone

Dropped during Solar Eclipse
Found one during a solar eclipse, but I don't remember which mob dropped it.

Stacks with Celestial Stone
In my testing, I have found the sun stone to stack with the celestial stone in the day, same for the moon stone in the night. I have removed the relevant sections.--Duckne55 (talk) 04:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Contradicting Information
In the opening statement for the item, it states that the Moon Stone works for both the night, AND the Solar Eclipse. However, further down in the Notes section, it states it does not work in the Solar Eclipse. Which is it? Opener:

"The Moon Stone is a Hardmode accessory which has a 2.86% / 4.29% (1/35 / 1/23) chance to drop from Vampires during the Solar Eclipse event. It grants the same stat bonuses as the Sun Stone, but these bonuses will only activate during the night or during a Solar Eclipse."

In Notes:

"Despite the Solar Eclipse taking place during the day, the Moon Stone does work during the event."


 * The Moon Stone works during the Solar Eclipse; the statements are not contradictory. Maybe it becomes clearer when you modify the sentences a little:
 * "[...] bonuses will [...] activate [...] during a Solar Eclipse [event]"
 * "the Moon Stone does work during the [Solar Eclipse] event"
 * These sentences are essentially equivalent.
 * The note merely emphasizes the contradiction (or at least what could be considered as such) that is present in Terraria's game design here: Since the Solar Eclipse happens during the day, and the Moon Stone is intended to only activate at night, you'd think it wouldn't work during a Solar Eclipse given it's not nighttime – but it does.
