Terrarian
I played and "beat" Terraria back in the day (prior to 1.1, I think - a couple years ago) and just recently picked the game back up and started a new character in a new world. I've beaten every pre-Hardmode boss in that playthrough, so I'm basically up to the point where I could fight the Wall of Flesh.
Before I do so, I'm wondering what everyone thinks are the absolutely necessary preparations for Hardmode?
I know there's a lot you can do that may prove handy, but since this is my first time, I'm not looking to get it all perfect before I even see Hardmode. I'm more interested in the "if you don't do X it can ruin your game / world" stuff. The things you'd consider mandatory, basically. Any measures you think are necessary for your base? Any must-have gear?
As far as my loadout, I have every PHM armor set, most weapons except for a couple Underworld items (still looking for a Dark Lance, but my Night's Edge is done), and most accessories that I know of.
