Biome Key Farming

The Cavillrene

Official Terrarian
Hello,

I've been playing Terraria for almost ten years (I remember the day I got it...Christmas sale + watching ATLA like a proper cultured individual) and among a lot of things is that I have not made a forum account until just now. I sort of come with a question for some of you fellow Terraria nerds on here, and as the title says, it relates to Biome Key Farming.

I have achieved three biome keys in my world so far - the Desert, Jungle, and Corrupt. I'm actually 114/115 achievements on Steam at the moment, so I'm on a completionist run; I even have a boss monument and everything. Part of this is getting the other chests, which leads me to wonder about farming methods.

Here's me;

I initially created this as a Dungeon farming area. It has the three wall types. There's also a Spider's Nest and a little bit of Marble off screen. I had the idea to spread Corruption so it also functions as a Soul of Night farm, and I get other goodies. The most recent addition is blocks for the artificial Tundra biome for the Ice Key. So I could eventually replace those with Hallowed blocks. I pretty much put most biomes that heighten spawn rates there, minus the Jungle and related biomes.

I see that composite biomes have a chance of dropping either key, so I think I'm good here? But maybe there's more optimal methods. I am curious. If you're curious, I got got by a Corrupt Mimic as I was placing the blocks. I'm also in favour of Henry Cavill becoming Wolverine.

Hallowed ice blocks work as well
