Talk:Pirate Map

Two bat statues, two bunny statues, 8 spikyball traps, and a 1-second timer hooked up in the Ocean biome. I'm up to my eyeballs in banners, Chain Knives and Depth meters after an hour or two of this, but not a single Pirate Map has dropped. Was the statue-spawn method patched out?


 * I assume it was patched out when they patched out statue mobs dropping other hardmode summoning items, like the mechanical items. You can probably still do it using the same method used to farm dungeon keys, which is to set up a meteor farm, whilst equipped with the Turtle Armor and standing in honey.--175.144.191.23 11:10, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Using a pirate map during a solar eclipse prevents the eclipse mobs from spawning until the pirate invasion has been defeated. Waiting for a blood moon to test it there too, though I expect it will be the same.--LyricalDragon (talk) 17:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Farming
I think they mean Meteor Heads won't drop the map anymore. I haven't tested it myself.  Equazcion ( talk ) 13:28, 14 Mar 2014 (UTC)
 * Yap yap, that's what I was getting at! Meteor Heads don't, minions do! NoseOfCthulhu (talk) 18:42, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure if standing somewhere and having your minion kill things should be considered a good farming tip for any one item in particular. I think the tip was more about using Meteor Heads to replace Ocean enemies. Now that that's not applicable the farming tip seems a little generic.  Equazcion ( talk ) 20:58, 16 Mar 2014 (UTC)
