Depth Meter

The Depth Meter is an accessory that displays depth, or elevation, relative to the surface level. It has a 0.5% (1 in 200) chance of being dropped by Cave Bats, a 1.25% chance of being dropped by a Salamander and a 1% (1 in 100) chance of being dropped by Giant Bats and Giant Shelly. In the console version, the Depth Meter can also be crafted.

Depth is displayed as follows:
 * On the PC version of the game, depth is measured in feet, with one tile equaling two feet.
 * On the console version, depth is measured in meters, with two tiles equaling one meter.

Tips

 * The Depth Meter is useful for finding biomes that are generated at specific elevation ranges, such as Floating Islands, the Underground Jungle, and the Underworld.
 * The Depth Meter can be used to avoid spawning Dungeon Guardians by staying above the surface level.
