I have no clue, i have a 2ds and it saves fine. Takes a while, but it's fine.

A 3ds/2ds isn't that powerful, so i don't think so.
That was one of the "balance changes" code glue made after they fixed a bunch of game breaking bugs on mobile.

as of the last update I heard, they're putting it in when they can to hopefully aim for end of April.
As for best wings, Grapple, and Sword, my research is this:
Wings:
My tip - ignore farming for Souls of Flight, just get 1 Platinum coin and buy Leaf Wings from the Witch Doctor housed in the Jungle.
Strongest - Spooky or Tattered wings from Pumpkin Moon Event drops.
Grapple:
My Tip - Start with a Gem Hook as that's arguably the easiest one to build first, then from there to the Ivy Whip.
Strongest - Spooky Whip is currently the strongest available in this version, from Pumpkin Moon Event.
Swords:
My Tip - Progression can be as follows:
- Cactus
- Shadewood (if available), else Gold Shortsword
- Zombie Arm (if you get it)
- Light's Bane/Muramasa (obtain both still)
- Blade of Grass/Fiery Greatsword (obtain both still)
- Night's Edge
- Excalibur
- True Excalibur
- The Horseman's Blade
- True Night's Edge
- Terra Blade
NOTE: I would suggest stepping up from Night's Edge to the Mushroom Spear that the Truffle sells if you can, as it may be a different combat style, but a good in-between on damage for some of these steps.

I think this is a stellar port so well done there. I have played quite a bit of the pc version. My own two cents?
This game needs to make maximum use of the c-stick on the N3DS. It needs to have auto-swing and aim function built in. This stick needs to operate like I am aiming with the mouse and holding the use button. This is a MUST for Hardcore mode endgame bosses if you ever implement a expert mode. The aiming function is wasted on distant objects not shown on screen as in boss fights and kiting high level monsters.
Customizable controls. I know this has been said before I just want to agree with what other people have said.
Dedicate the map button to the SELECT button. Remove from touch screen (for N3DS) and offer me a 3rd row of touch screen buttons relating to my current inventory. That way I can hot swap quickly without having to open the inventory screen. Would really help with mining and staying out of the mining screen (which lags when many sprites are loaded, by sprites I mean torch embers, fire embers, glowing ores, shimmering coins, etc.)
Implement the left bumper and left and right on the d-pad changes from melee weapon to range weapon in mining screen to the inventory screen by making a double tap of the l and r shoulder buttons to hot swap to range from melee and vice versa. Incredibly helpful interface option becomes extraordinarily limited when used in the mining interface.
Dedicate x and y buttons to mean the same thing in chests and in inventory. Frustrating to accidentally delete items when in a hurry to manage inventory.
Make a SORT option. This is REQUIRED when lacking screen real-estate. I need to quickly be able to assess what I have and where it is in my menu without having to micromanage my inventory every time I go farming for gear or items.
Shrink UI enlargement for items when moving them. It is too large and makes the viewing the other items nearby difficult.
Don't make moving inventory items swap one for one when moving from one inventory location to another. Simply implement a fix that shifts everything in the inventory to the right one. The reason I say this is because if I pick up something good and have a fullish inventory it automatically gets put at the bottom. I want to bring it to the top quickly but whatever place I drop it in that item automatically gets moved to the previous items former place. (Very frustrating). Also, this needs to happen because the inventory needs to be tweaked to function well in small real-estate screen area.
Give me sort on pick-up option.
Shrink heart and star size on main screen. Maybe give me a option for a small minimap on the top right hand corner to only extend 10 blocks past what I can see on screen? This would be nice. Or make the active map option shrinkable and usable with another touch-pad screen (i.e. shrink it and let me use it at the same time as I am using my inventory screen).
Otherwise, great, truly GREAT port. I played countless hours on the PC version (beat the game multiple times, automated farms, etc. love the pc game), and I am truly impressed with how well you bridged the gap given the inherent difficulties. I am most impressed by the smart cursor implementation on mining for the N3DS. On the pc it's not as necessary or useful, but on the N3DS it is beautifully implemented.
Also, emphasis on changes goes to c-stick optimization. Please please please change this. The c-stick could be such a powerful game mechanic and is being so incredibly under-utilized. Nobody needs to view off screen on Terraria. It was limited to scopes mainly in the pc version and it's just unnecessary.
Let me know what you guys think.

So this has 1.3?
No. It has some features from 1.3 like using weapons while mounted.

No, I'm pretty sure that mounts aren't even in the game yet. The only 1.3 feature in the 3DS version is quick stack to nearby chests. Other than that it's 1.2 with fishing and minecarts.
Being in a minecart is what I meant.

Stackable buckets would be nice. It's a hell of a lot of work to fill inventory with a few dozen buckets, keep going to the inventory screen to change buckets to pick up water/lava/honey, move to the drop site, then in-and-out of inventory again to dump each one individually. I know I COULD wait until getting the Mechanic and use pumps but that's still pretty inefficient if you're wanting to cover a long distance, and doesn't help if you want to relocate something before you've found her.
