In calamity you need sandstorms
Especially if you are that one person who wants a certain item

I don’t use mods so idk

Ok

i feel like this is directed towards console players

Actually yes.

I concur. It is rare that I go into a desert biome on my Nintendo Switch version where a sandstorm is not in effect.

Desert biomes don't have sandstorms???

If you search on the "desert" page of the Terraria Wiki, it will mention that sandstorms can occur on the Desktop, Console, and Mobile version of Terraria, so long as the current wind speed in game exceeds thirty miles an hour.

This information is at the bottom of the fourth paragraph.
