Talk:Bezoar

it is a BEE ZOAR

Not dropping?
Hey, I've killed a LOT of hornets, spent a few hours hunting them in the Underground Jungle, both Easy and Hard (mostly on easy). So far, I've gotten four pieces of Ancient Cobalt Armor and two Hornet Banners (all exclusively from mass-murdering hornets) and yet I have yet to recieve a single Bezoar drop. As such, I'm wondering if this item isn't actually dropping at it's 1% drop rate. Anybody got anything on this? 63.152.116.157
 * Feeling your pain right here. I suspect the hornet drops are severely bugged; I have slaughtered countless Hornets and Moss Hornets, to the point of getting three banners and three Ancient Cobalt Leggings; however, no Bezoar, no other Ancient Cobalt parts. The fact that the Bezoar is said to drop from the Steampunker makes it doubly suspicious for me: it might just be that the drop list in the code points to the wrong entity. In the Hornet talk page, there are also several people complaining about being unable to get one. --186.136.108.121 06:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * That Steampunker bit feels very much like a not-so-subtle troll edit. If there's proof in the coding that's being discussed on the Official Terraria Forums or something, I'd very much appreciate a link. But yes, I, too, get a lot fewer Bezoars in comparison to say Blindfolds or Vitamins. 173.228.18.91 06:28, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Same problem, I have killed hundreds, got about 7 cobalt leggings, 4 banners and 3 platinum, 2 hours on battle potions. Help? Same problem as well, i spent ages looking for one while my brother got one before me and he was not even looking for it. I got these other items instead.
 * i got mine after a few toxic sludge. Probably the only source that isnt bugged. --91.42.143.21 15:10, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

I have never had a problem with getting Bezoars to drop- I think the problem is you're getting really unlucky with your drops, and as a result the game's blatantly refusing to give you what you want. (I know they drop, one dropped last night while I was helping a friend raid the jungle.) Henix Aurorus (Henix879) (talk) 16:05, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * "Bad luck" is the only other explanation. It's just that in all the games I've played, I've never had a luck quite this bad... and I've played games with 0.01% drops. The law of large numbers is most certainly not helping me this time. But oh well, there's no "fair" in simple RNG. At least I can say I "beat the odds" in a way, hehehe --186.136.108.121 22:59, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * For those who have gotten it to drop, was it off a Toxic Sludge, or one of the hornets? 96.33.170.19 17:39, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

This is a bug. Bezoars seem not to drop in single player. I found one in a multiplayer game two weeks ago after spending only a little time in the jungle, but spent about 6 hours in single player without finding one. I just decided to switch to multiplayer (same world with host & play) and got 3 bezoars within a half-hour. The comments above seem to support this. All of this was in a pre-hardmode world. --24.192.101.99 06:36, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Not just the Jungle
I just got a Bezoar drop from a Toxic Sludge twice just below my town during a Solar Eclipse. I was nowhere near the Jungle. Subtlecoolness (talk) 20:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * All Toxic Sludges are able to drop Bezoars, and they can spawn (I believe) anywhere in the Underground Layer.                Farming those might be the best way to get Bezoars until the drop bug (if it is a bug) is fixed.
