terraria 2
Is there a page on what we know about the new terraria that's suppose to come out. If not could we add one. PS I'm pretty new to working on wikis so tell me why if not. LucasFSM2 (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is: Terraria 2. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 15:18, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

The best wiki I have ever seen
I have not much to say, I just was looking for a place to tell you guys, that this is an absolutely outstanding wiki. It's just insane how much detail is provided. Thank you - so much!

Stay healthy, Pete

Update plz
ReLogic I ask kindly of you to plz update Xbox360 terraria once or twice so we (most of people with only a Xbox360 terraria) have moon lord items and have a better experience and at least have some of the stuff on the new wiki ,it is hard to find stuff on this wiki., I hope relogic sees this I love your game in this version but moonlord stuff is better.

ReLogic plz I beg nicely. 95.216.20.51 01:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, the developers are very unlikely to read this page. If you want to get in touch with them, your chances are much higher at the forums or on the Terraria Discord. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 01:19, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry to say this, but they can’t. The Xbox 360 can’t handle the tremendous power that 1.3 needs, which is why it isn’t going to be updated ever again. Assuming you have a phone or tablet, get it on mobile, it’s cheap and has all 1.3 items, bosses and more. 84.66.142.205 16:28, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * P.S. Mobile has 1.4 now too

Acorns and saplings section does not include gem trees
On the tree page, I was scrolling through and saw the acorns and saplings don't include the new gem trees. This was easily noticeable when it stated that trees could not be grown underground and must be grown on grass, snow, or sand. I would fix it myself, but I don't know much about links or anything when it comes to editing things on the wiki (which I'm planning on learning later) and I also don't have much time on my hands.

Separate Wikis
So a while ago, re-logic stated they hoped to add crossplay between pc, console, and mobile. If this happened, something that would make sense is if that version had a separate wiki to the legacy versions, so the disparities wouldnt confuse anyone. This would also help when future updates happen (seeing how many 'final updates' there have been, its more than likely). So simply, a separate wiki for the crossplay and legacy ones. If that update comes to fruition, that is. ShadowBlade8192 (talk) 19:41, 4 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, there isn't much interest in having two distinct wikis for that as the actual one already suffice. Also, it has already been brought that once Desktop, Console, and Mobile will have the same version, several tweaks might occur to "hide" pre-1.3.0.1 content (Old-gen console and 3DS) on pages, as these versions were terminated, in order to clean the icons excess on the wiki. There hasn't been an in-depth discussion about this right now as it's not topical. Dinoxel (talk) 20:48, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Most images gone from their respective pages.
Pretty sure the files still exist, just not on the pages?
 * Yep, same for me. At first, I thought it was just a problem on my end, but when I go into the editing history I can see the images. My guess is a major update on the site broke them. Hopefully, it is fixed soon. TessboB (talk) 20:18, 8 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Same. Seems to be related to the wiki migrating over to fandom, but it'll hopefully get fixed soon. Biting Chicken (talk) 21:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm trying to find a specific enemy
I played Terraria a long time ago and I found some kind of structure in the world with an old guy outside and I went inside the thing and a skeleton guy killed me scared me to death, i'm trying to find what it is so I can learn how to avoid it if I play again ItsBlueEnglan (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The structure you encountered is most likely the Dungeon. The Old Man is walking around in front of it. In order to enter safely, you need to talk to him at night and win the following boss fight. Until then, you will always be killed instantly by Dungeon Guardians if you attempt to enter the Dungeon. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 13:47, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Terraria bosses and multiplayer, health, loot and drop per person
I looked around and I couldn't find anything about this. I was wondering if there is anything that has to do with terraria bosses and the players in game. For example, what if one person is farther away, would they be counted to boss health increase and given a treasure bag. What if one person summoned and then others joined, would the boss health increase or something? I am going to be looking into that but if anyone knows before I test everything please let me know. <3


 * On the Expert Mode page, some mechanics are listed. The boss's health is decided by how many players are currently in the world when first spawned, and treasure bags are given to any player that has damaged the boss at least once. And yes, this does mean you can cheese a fight by having everyone leave and rejoin at the start of a boss battle. --KM100 (talk) 22:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Gemcorns
How do i plant gemcorns? is there a specific area i need to plant them in or something else? please let me know


 * Gemcorns need to be planted Underground or lower, on stone or moss. Make sure they have enough open space to grow. --KM100 (talk) 22:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Nintendo Switch issue involving dyes
I've played terraria quite a lot on the switch, and recently I've come across an issue. Dyes aren't working correctly... Some of the dyes that you would get from the dye trader wouldn't work on accessories and none of the dyes worked in the armor/social slots. Instead it would cause the object to have no texture and in the case of the armor slots it would also cause your character's shirt, pants, or hair to disappear from the respective slot (Example: If I used Martian dye on the helmet slot the helmet texture would disappear and I would have no hair.) Can somebody explain to me what is going on and can somebody address the issue?

Here's a clip of the issue:

(PS: I posted this here instead of the forums due to the fact I can't access the forums) Trialsphere (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2021 (UTC)


 * This is a known issue with the Switch version. It will probably be fixed when it receives the 1.4 update later this year. --Eraloiz (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Missing chandelier
You are missing "gold" chandelier


 * On which page? It's already listed on Chandeliers. --Eraloiz (talk) 12:29, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

The Walkthrough guides
As i was reading the walkthrough guide, I saw many 1.3 information. Since 1.4 changed the progression a lot, this needs to be updated

Enemy
There is an enemy in the game but I don't know how to add it. It is called the crystal thresher and can be found in the hallowed desert during a sandstorm. It looks like a crystal sand shark.


 * Crystal Thresher is already documented on the wiki; see the Sand Sharks page. --Eraloiz (talk) 06:26, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

an edit to dye wiki page
i made a list of known dye that work on the switch version of terraria and i would like to add it to dye page but i don't know how https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Dyes_unaffected_by_the_switch_version# here is the list


 * I've merged the page with Dyes (see the Trivia section). --Eraloiz (talk) 06:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

The Official Terraria Mods Wiki should be up there too Colinzer (talk) 11:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Cleaning Up The Talk Page

Need help on strategies on getting wings in hardmode as soon as it starts?
Hey guys really need help I just need strategies on getting wings early in hardmode because i'm stuck on the mechanical bosses. Also what kind of wings do you guys recommend?


 * I always go with Fairy Wings because they're better than the Tier 1 wings (Angel, Demon, Leaf) and it's a completely reliable, but tedious, grind. If you get an early blizzard, Frozen Wings are faster. If you don't like fighting wyverns, Leaf wings (weak and expensive) or Fin Wings (stronger but rare) are your only option.Mathbrush1 (talk) 02:59, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Bad eicon links everywhere
Now that console is up to 1.4, a ton of eicon links are broken (!!Error: Invalid EICONS input!). Is it okay to go through and remove information that no longer applies to any version of the game? (I'm not talking about 3DS version, more like the really messy armor tables in Melee weapons that have multiple values for bonuses for Tavernkeeps armor and Solar Flare armor).Mathbrush1 (talk) 13:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Sure, go ahead! Any transclusion like 1.3.0.1 (or with eversions) can be deleted along with the information that it's referring to (e.g. Special:Diff/1140778, Special:Diff/1140768, Special:Diff/1140724, Special:Diff/1140621), because no platform is between 1.3 and 1.4 anymore (and won't ever be again). --Rye Greenwood (talk) 14:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * For the record, it has apparently been decided that the wiki should now also include the Nintendo Switch version and the Desktop patch that tModLoader is on in the version differentiation. Both of these are still on 1.3.5.3, i.e. between 1.3 and 1.4, and therefore all of the eicons are still/again valid. (Until Switch and tModLoader have upgraded to 1.4.0.1, that is.) --Rye Greenwood (talk) 19:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

can we add a coments page?
I was wondering this becuse this is my only accesinle form of knowledg for terraria.(i do like asking questions) if you need a good idea for a format, look at the subnautica wiki. (a extra link might need to be added to the explore tab(for direct access) I hope you consider this.THX.

p.s:if you removed it for reasons(ex. vandalism), i wouldn't know, ive only been here for a short time


 * I'm assuming you're talking about discussions. Those currently aren't available on wikis that were originally on Gamepedia (wikis with a Gamepedia badge in their header). Even if they were, I'm not sure if we would enable them, since it's been talked about before in Discord and people were pretty heavily against it IIRC. --Eraloiz (talk) 23:24, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

weird information
in some of the crafting recipes the number of base crafting items is different number of items then the text ex:the zenith takes 21 ores swords and souls to craft from scratch.

List of ranged weapons incomplete
I noticed that List of ranged weapons is missing Vortex Beater. I know it's generated automatically, so what's making it miss the Vortex beater? Mathbrush1 (talk) 01:05, 23 October 2021 (UTC)


 * The issue was that the limit parameter was not set in the Cargo query on that page. If it's not set, then the default limit is 100 (see mw:Extension:Cargo/Querying data), which cuts the list off at around "T", so it needs to be set to something greater to include all weapons. Fixed it now, thanks for reporting! --Rye Greenwood (talk) 16:49, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Request to be added as an editor.
I'd like to be added as an editor to this wiki, I contributed to it quite a bit a few years back, before the gamepedia merge whith the whole wikia name debate was going on, and now that updates are rolling and and new pages are being added and edited constantly I'd like to get back to helping out. (not sure if this is still valid but Renz16 and Squazzil might be able to vouch for my activity, since they were the active mods 2 years ago when I was still contributing) By the time this will be seen my new username should be Hecky OwO, since it's been over 2 years I'm not sure wether the post would update my name or provide an incorrect redirect, I remember having issues with that.

Massive Problem. Needs to be fixed ASAP
How has nobody noticed this?! The sprites of the icons in the mobile version are all messed up! Half of the guide icons are deerclops, switch or steam, the NPC's icons are microscopic, and so many other icons are too large or too small! The whole wiki is practically vandalized! Please fix for Mobile! Daybroken (talk)

"Old phone versions only" mark
If there's "Old-Gen console only" and just "Console only" marks, how about "Old phone versions only"? By "old versions" I mean versions with exlusive mobs, bosses and items, because just like old-gen consoles versions, old mobile versions had a lot of unique content, and just like there's a big step between old and new Gen consoles, there's a bug step between old and new mobile versions. Fataled 007 (👤|💬|📢|📝) 15:12, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Does mobile not update automatically? Why would they be in the old content versions? --AmsterAlt (talk) 18:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

There is the Microsoft phone version that is stuck in 1.2 12.20.99.245 16:34, 17 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I've been meaning to address this. I need to find an appropriate icon. — Ferretwings, Wiki Specialist 01:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
