Pass the World - The TCF Edition!

LOL, I didn’t know one of my resource packs could change tombstones like that! That’s hilarious! :D
I've found some Sun Dance ones over the crab sculpture in the Snow biome and... "[Player] got totally pranked by [thing]." would be a great vanilla death message.

Some progress!

Lots of cleanup today.

Missing a few pre-Moon Lord pieces still, though, so that'll be up next on my list.

Set up a little area to farm Pirates on the side for reforge money. As of the time of this post, our savings are now up to 62 Platinum!

You may have noticed a small Ice Brick building off to the side in these images...
That's the plan I'm working on finishing before my turn is up!

My goal is to have a fully set up armory so that whoever plays next can have whatever option they wish to play for the Moon Lord.

By amassing and consolidating resources, I've gotten together most every armor set together, various damage type accessories, and some global accessories as well. There's a set of Warding, Menacing, and Lucky Betsy's Wings, and ideally I'll have a full suite of those, Fishron, and Empress Wings so the next player can have any possible choice they could want.

More importantly though,

62 platinum, nice! Loving the updates and screenshots, you’ve set up so much for the end game.
 
We're going to have a lot more than 62 Platinum by the time I'm done here. We might even have enough to reforge Zenith!

Halloween season is upon us! That means Goodie Bags while farming Ichor and Destroyer spawners.

Costumes have been getting placed at the old arena near the spawn castle to add a little pizzazz.

Another component of wepon has been obtained.

We have a lifetime supply of Ichor for the next player! Surprised I haven't seen a Crimson Key yet, but there's plenty of time, because...

It's Destroyer farming time!

The real reason I have an underground evil biome farm is to obtain, and delete, as many worms as possible.

I’m loving the Halloween outfits on display.
 
Alright, my time is coming to a close. I couldn't finish EVERYTHING I set out to do, but I finished enough of it!

Final progress wrapup:

I kept forgetting to mention it, but I finished the garden that was started. Fireblossom is actually growing now!

Dev set collection above the trophy hall! There are a lot of dupes in some chests in the main storage hall.
Ghostar's stands out as a frequent flyer.

Terraria 10-12-2024 (14h-25m-18s).png

Many worms fell for this and it's not an exaggeration to say a good portion of my playtime was just Destroyer farming.

This is the final state of the armory. The player next up will be more than equipped for what lies ahead.

Capture 2024-10-13 00_16_52.png

My build plot! I didn't have any ideas, so I just put Basiney here instead as the alternative was just 50 Destroyer Trophies.
(Basiney is a water-type Chansey from a Pokemon modification known as AlteRed. It's a bit of an inside joke with some of my other friends to include its face.)
That also wasn't a joke. This was the prior build plot:

Terraria 10-12-2024 (17h-34m-41s).png

Terraria 10-12-2024 (17h-37m-14s).png

Also, I remembered to get my last achivement needed for 100% as of the current version!

Some footnotes for the player that comes after me:
SPAWNING IN:
- You will spawn in the armory in the surface Ice biome, wearing Red Riding Armor and a Greedy Ring as your only accessories, while Witch's Broom will be your mount.
- Day has broken and there are no pending events in the immediate area, so you are safe to equip yourself however you wish.
- There is a full set of Warding, Menacing, and Lucky of Soaring Insignia, Betsy's Wings, Empress Wings, and Fishron Wings.
- If you prefer flight mounts, a Shrimpy Truffle is also provided.
- Just about any other armor, accessory, or weapon you could want is in the chests around the area, divided by damage type.
- There is plenty of Chlorophyte in the chest next to the Autohammer, so feel free to use it to create bullets.
- Similarly, if you wish to play Ranged, feel free to Shimmer other armor sets present for more Chlorophyte.
- Destroyer Emblems are not stocked, unfortunately, but you can obtain one by Shimmering the Sniper Scope.
- Terra Blade is in the Zenith materials chest, instead of with the Melee weapons chest.
- If the accessory you want doesn't have the reforge you want, my antics have left you with 555 Platinum.
- Similarly, if you wish to have a different Old One's Army armor set/sentry, you have 2198 Defender Medals.
- please coin gun responsibly

STRATEGY:
- The bed in the armory triggers a Player Above sensor, activating two Heart Statues to generate recovery hearts.
- The remaining Solar Pillar is due west of the Dungeon on modestly flat Crimson terrain. The Solar Pillar was chosen as the last pillar as it has the least valuable weapons compared to Flying Dragon, Terra Blade, Starlight, and Flairon.

1728831354118.png


- I would have left the Vortex Pillar instead, but the Solar Pillar was the only one that didn't spawn within range of a NPC settlement...

Terraria 10-12-2024 (23h-07m-13s).png

man

- Celestial Fragments have been left unused. The count is 64 Vortex, 64 Nebula, and 47 Stardust.
- I have stocked Heartreach, Endurance, Ammo Reservation, Lifeforce, Wrath, and Rage Potions, as well as a Flask of Ichor lifetime supply. The lowest count is Rage at 15, but this should suffice the rest of the game.
- In addition to Flasks of Ichor, I have secured a Golden Shower as well as a Dart Pistol with a stack of Ichor Darts. Any other source of Ichor you may wish is easy to obtain since there's over 40,000 units of it left.

OTHER:
- Cultist Trophy didn't drop, but assuming I didn't have a terrible lapse of memory, every other Trophy up until this point is available. All surplus are in the Extra Boss Trophies chest.
- I considered closing the world without saving to re-fight Cultist to look for trophy, but that felt outside of the spirit of the otherwise casual fun nature of the challenge, so I told the voices to be quiet. For once.
- If you wish to finish the developer set collection, Loki's and Aaron's sets are missing. At least one of all others has dropped, including both Cenx's Breastplate and Dress sets.
- If you wish to specifically use the grinder I was using for Vertebra, you can reach it by teleporting to the Pylon near the Aether and heading a little further left of the fishing pool.

Capture 2024-10-13 00_29_14.png


- If you replace the Crimstone with a different biome stone, you can grind Hallowed or Corruption mobs instead without fear of Biome Mimics at the cost of no souls dropping. Hover at the wall with Terraprisma summons, just a bit over the Water Candle, and the process is 100% safe to AFK. I'd know, I've left it running while sleeping. Refer my Destroyer video above if you wish to mulch worms.
- Feel free to relocate Red's set and the Cenx's Dress set from the armory if you wish to put them with the others, but I left them at the Zenith materials chest instead.
- I never unlocked the Crimson Chest, but there are Crimson Keys if you wish to do so.

Thanks for having me! I hope my over-preparation doesn't feel overwhelming, I just wanted to set the final player up for success to the best of my ability.

I keep feeling like I forgot something. I'm expecting one of the Zenith mats to disappear...

Amazing progress Mille Marteaux, loving all the detail that you went into. Everyone has done an outstanding job during this project to get it to this state, and it’s been really fun to see.

The world is on the move again (happy Monday to all!), and here’s what’s coming up next. I will take the world for this week and tool around a bit. I’ll finish the build plots that are empty, including mine (thanks to Golden Heretic Snakeboat for including me, that was thoughtful and sweet), but I won’t kill Solar or Moon Lord.

Next week will be our grand finale when Moon Lord will be killed, come rain or shine (either using my Plan A or Plan B). After that happens, I’ll upload the player and world files here so that anyone that would like them can have them.
 
Has anyone found a Mushroom Chest in Mushroom Biome?

Edit: I saw the screenshot of the cabin in the Mushroom Biome.

I just stumbled upon this and proceeded to read absolutely all of it. This looks amazing! So many talented builders! Any chance you could do a Calamity run after the Thorium one? I feel like Calamity would need way more than 12 people though... (*cough* devourer of gods *cough*)

That's just based on the poll I took roughly halfway through this PTW. I'll do another one after I'm ready to host the next one, and then I'll set it up as well.
 
Hello all, here are some updates from my time with the world. It's been fun getting to explore everything that everyone has created. There are so many places to check out and fun little tidbits everywhere.

There are two things that I love doing in worlds. One is to uncover all the sky from the map, and the other is having the oceans lit up with lamp posts. I don't know where these habits originated from, but they are a must have in almost every playthrough for me.

Getting my zen on by uncovering the sky map and lighting up the oceans.
Zen-moments-of-uncovering-sky.jpg
Ocean-lights.jpg


Speaking of the ocean, the left ocean was in a bit of disrepair as it looks like sand was needed earlier. So I rebuilt it a bit, and it's back in tip top shape.
Rebuild-ocean.jpg


As I was exploring all that was created beforehand, I came across this little shrine, and there was a sign asking for a set of Ancient Hallowed Armor be placed on the bottom mannequin, so I took care of that.
Request-fulfilled.jpg


The Traveling Merchant had a Companion Cube for sale, so I thought I would get the world one since Mille gave us a coin boost.
Companion-Cube.jpg


I did some fighting for fun. Some were random spawns (hello King Slime and Queen Bee) and some were me summoning the bosses.

Fighting-Golem.jpg


Speaking of fighting, I noticed that the Skeletron trophy was missing, so each night I went and talked (killed) the lovely Clothier, and after 21 times, he willingly gave me his trophy.
Skeletron-Trophy.jpg


Doggo was accidentally teleported to hell with me one time. I didn't notice until later. Oopser doodle.
Accidental-Teleportation-for-doggo.jpg


And because Shine Potions are delicious, plus I find it fun to garden (in game only, please don't make me do it in real life), I spent some time in the lovely herb farm that Bookwyrm built.
Gardening.jpg

I'll be tooling around more for the rest of the week, and will have some more to share later.

Hope the dog was okay too, But thank you for the updates Unit One! Can't wait to see what might happen Pre-Moonlord!
 
It's time for another update...

Russ Guss Doodles was kind enough to set up the world to have a party every day (since this entire project was set up to celebrate the TCF 10th anniversary after all). So we've been throwing party after party. Finally, the NPCs decided to throw us a party! About time.
Finally-a-party-that-they-are-throwing-for-us.jpg


Another thing I love to do with worlds is to contain the Crimson and Hallow. Though it's totally unnecessary most of the time, I enjoy making them stay in their own lanes. Equipped with a Light Picksaw and plenty of green solution, I've confined both to their original V formation (give or take some spreading a bit of course). And I confined the Crimson on the right as well, so it won't spread anymore.
All-contained.jpg

I played around in BookWyrm's fantastic trivia and parkour mini-map. Very fun! You created such a great experience for all of us, thank you.
Fun-trivia-and-parkour-puzzle.jpg

Sorry, I don't know how to fix the puzzle that needed logic gates. But I had a fun time doing the puzzles.

Harvesting a bit in the moss farm
Doing-some-moss-farming.jpg

I did some grinding for the two dev sets that we are missing (Aaron's and Loki's). Golem ended up giving me one...
Grinding-for-the-last-two-dev-sets.jpg

And then one more thing that I wanted to grind was to get the Bestiary as complete as possible. All of you did wonderfully and got it to 91.11% so far. I noted down which entries still needed to be filled out and got to work. There were some that needed Christmas so I did a bit of Frost Moon, and then needed to talk to Santa (to fill in his entry).
Its-kinda-hot-down-here-Santa-but-okay.jpg

After doing a bit more grinding, the Bestiary is officially at....
The-Bestiary-will-be-one-hundo-yay.jpg

So after the Solar Pillar is downed and Moon Lord is downed, this world will be completely filled in with a 100% Bestiary! Great job everyone!

I also filed in my building plot
Doors-are-cool.jpg

If you're not decorating with doors, I don't know what you're doing with your life.

More later...
