During my last gameplay, some items have quite an absurd drop rate, either It's absurdly low, or absurdly frequent, making either items too easy, or too boring to farm.
I'll also list some item modification ideas here, because... Yes.
Here I'll list some of my ideas of drop rate changes, and why.

Here I'll list some of my ideas of drop rate changes, and why.
- Biome Keys: Drop rate From 1/2500 to 1/1000.
- Why: After the launch of the Lunar Apocalypse events and the other Lunar events, like the Pumpkin Moon and the Frost Moon, the items acquired from Hardmode Dungeon got some devaluation, even more due to the fact that they are acquired after you defeat Plantera, some of those items no longer feels worth farming for hours a biome just to get a key, unless you really want to make a compendium with all items you found on your world, which in any case would still be missing one (because at least one of the chests depends on the evil biome spawned in the world).
- Biome Chest Special Equipments: Rebalance
- Why: Not only their loot can be acquired quite late in the game, but unless just for fun or for some events, the gears acquired from post plantera can easily outrank most of them. The weapons are interesting, but is it really worth passing hours trying to farm the key just to have your hard earned weapon stored in a chest? Those weapons needs some boosts of status, either that, or make the chests be able to be opened even since you first stepped on Hardmode.
Lihzahrd Power Cell: Drop rate from 1/50 to 1/125Why: With a basic farming, you can farm several of those after some minutes farming the Lihzahrd Dungeon monsters. After grinding so much, I grew tired of grinding the Golem, seriously. I just needed to spawn him, kill him, grab his loot and then spawn him again, over and over again, I even were able to get an absurd amount of platinum coins out of that too.
Solar Tablet Fragment: Drop rate from 14.29% to 2.5%
Why: For quite the same reason as the Lihzahrd Power Cell, you can farm several of those after some minutes of gameplay, I have a chest with about 2 rows of 20 Solar Tablets crafted and stored in it, to you see how easy it is to farm it, Is so easy to acquire those Solar Tablet Fragments that you can have enough Solar Tablets for a life long of Solar Eclipse spawning at your own desire.
- The Axe: Rebalance
- Why: What is the point of farming for this? Not only is a pain to farm Plantera, but the status of that weapon are awfully low. It doesn't even shots. Any weapon from pre plantera can outrank that weapon, it doesn't even produce any special effect when attacking, other than a guitar sound. If It's rare just because It can break walls and cut trees, there are better and easier to acquire items on post plantera events. This weapon is only for personal achievement.
- Pre Evil Axes, Pickaxes and Hammers: Rebalance
- Why: Those tools could also be good weapons, If they had their own individual status to priorize a certain style of gameplay, those tools could increment early game melee combat, like a pickaxe having a higher critical rate, the axe having a good damage, while the hammer could inflict a higher knockback on enemies. That would make the gameplay more diverse for the early game, and one wouldn't need to depend so much of swords if want to be a melee fighter (beside there is Yoyo and Boomerang aswell).
- Slime Staff: Drop rate from 1/10000 to 1/1000 for Slimes and Slimed Zombies and 1/8000 to 1/800 for Sand Slimes.
- Why: Summoning isn't really a new thing anymore on Terraria, there are even sets and new summons in the game, so why is the Slime Staff still so rare? That may even end up being the first summoning weapon a player may find in the game, or the last, due to the drop rates. Unless you find a Slime Statue rigged to some underground trap, you will have a hard time farming for those jumping acid bubbles. Also, the King Slime could also offer a chance of droping the Slime Staff, maybe 1/25 chance of dropping alongside It's loost?
