User blog:ReviLeo/Terraria Guide.

I have many friends who are newbies to Terraria, and are always asking for advice, so I figured I should make a blog on Terraria wiki, so I don't have to keep telling them OVER AND OVER, and also of other newbies who want some advice. So, here goes... (Note: This guide is for softcore players)

Pre-Hardmode
At the very start of the game, really the only thing to do is listen to the guide's advice. Once you've made wooden tools, head over to your nearest desert and get some cactus gear. Once you've done that, go spelunking. Here's a list of what you should and shouldn't hang on to while spelunking.

DO keep,


 * Stone


 * Dirt


 * Ores


 * Accessories


 * Explosives


 * Enchanted Boomerang/Sword

Throw out everything else, because you don't really need it.

Now, gather together some wooden platform and go to your Corruption/Crimson and break shadow orbs/pulsating heats until you runout of explosives! (Note: You will die. A lot.) However it will get you some awesome loot! Once you have awesome loot, go to your home and make houses until a demolitionist moves in, then buy lots of bombs and wait.

Once three meteorites have landed, go and blow them all up. It's the easiest method of meteorite mining. Make Meteorite Armour and a space gun. Killing the Eye of Cthulhu is probably the easiest target from there, collecting six lenses is easy and the boss itself is a walk the park once you have meteorite armour and a space gun. Strategy, just make a platform to run up and down on, summon the Eye, and run up and down once shooting, it's the same deal with the Brain (of Cthulhu) too, but if you have a corrupted world, it gets more interesting, first, make an arena made of Wooden Platforms just above the ground, buy a ton of grenades and summon the boss. Throw grenades at him when he isn't close and shoot at him with you're space gun when he is.
