The Horseman's Blade Semi-autofarm has finally been updated! The update is largely due to the efforts of Gandalf K and Unftf, who posted their improvements here:

Unftf now holds the record for the Frost Moon final wave (11:36pm) with his arena - see post 113 on page 6 of the thread linked above. I adapted Unftf's approaches to create a semi-autofarm that can be effectively used for Frost moon farming. The video explains the new farm, and features both a Frost moon run and a Pumpkin Moon + 3 Mechanial Boss run.

The mob statues are connected to an activation chamber that the NPC is teleported into:

How the Semi-Autofarm functions:

The player teleports into the mob statue chamber, and pulls the switch on the left. This will spawn a bat, which will eventually move down the pressure plate track and die in the lava. The pressure plates activate the spear traps in the batteries above the spawn surface. The final pressure plate sends the NPC into the activation chamber, so that the NPC will continuously activate the mob statues and spear traps. Once the event is over, the player pulls the left switch again. The final pressure plate in the bat track also activates a 5-second timer that alternates the spawn surface, causing the hearts dropped by mobs to fall into the lava below and prevent the 400 item limit from being reached.


Optimal Gear:

Legendary Horseman's Blade
Beetle Helmet
Beetle Scale Mail
Beetle Leggings

Lucky/Menacing Destroyer Emblem
Lucky/Menacing Fire Gauntlet

Challenge:

Download the world or build this farm for yourself (and modify it as you see fit) and do the Frost moon and Pumpkin Moon events to see if you can beat the final wave times I posted!
 
great farm!, must try it later
 
Nice work gentlemen!! Frost moon has been a pain and I must try this and see if it can be used on the console also. Thanks for all the work and testing put into it.
 
too bad mobile doesn't have frost moon
my record is 12:34 mobile
according to my research one night in mobile equals six minutes
so my record equals 10:20 (more or less)on PC
Fast.
to me.
 
Great new arena! I'll have to try it out too.
