Things that you didn't realize were in the game for the longest time?

[ZemmySix]

I found out about Molotov cocktails a few days ago... In pvp...

Never a good way to discover them...

 

[JoeReturns]

I never knew that the lost girl was a nymph...he wrecked me

 

[Svea Rike]

Took me a while to figure out mounts were a thing.

 

[JoeReturns]

Enchanted sword...only now have I found out

 

[Svea Rike]

Enchanted sword...only now have I found out

...There's an enchanted sword? To the wiki!

 

[360Chadscope]

A lot of the dungeon weapons. For hundreds of hours I didn't know about any dungeon loot except for the muramasa, because pre-1.2 you had little reason to go into the dungeon if you didn't care/know about said loot in the first place.

 

[Pixel]

Only today did I discover the existence of Ice Golems.

 

[The Real Sharknado]

I just found out today what the S.D.M.G. is, cool item

 

[MegaMage314 🌳]

I just realized that you could dig up and move the Lihzahrd alter to spawn the golem wherever you want... I assumed it was something that couldn't be broken or moved...

 

[Prism]

Dirt rod. I don't know how, I just never noticed it in the Dryads inventory.

 

[PeggleFrank]

Copper hammer.

I always make a wooden hammer and make my next hammer out of crimtane/demonite. The -1 bonus on all the copper tools led me to ignore anything with the word "copper" in it's name; that, combined with my generally low reserves of copper, led to me not actually knowing that the copper hammer existed. I thought the copper pickaxe and the copper short-sword were the only copper weapons/tools in the game.

 

[Jakly]

Bone platforms.

I didn't know they existed until the Halloween contest entries used them.

 

[bad_news]

Not personally mine, but a lot of people still don't know the enchanted sword exists.

 

[Sharanga Duck]

Binoculars. Just got them today. Oh, and the Bladed Glove.

I JUST RIGHT NOW found out that you could place coins

WHAT?!

 

[TerrorPenguin]

I didn't know about duke fishron until about a month ago
Edit: And the Blood Feeder

 

[Lecic]

I didn't know about the rare, deep, duck quack.

 

[Kreuz Drache]

Turtle mount, but that was more due to me taking a break from Terraria for several months after the Fishing Update. Regardless, I was still ecstatic when I found out about it. *_*

 

[Voyager]

After looking at the wiki, I see that you can make frozen slime blocks.............................
Really ! I did not know that.

 

[Awordley]

Well I didn't know about the Rudolph eating animation until just now, that's pretty cool.
I didn't know that the Musket was auto fire until 2 days ago, I was just lazily holding down the mouse button and suddenly it fired again!

 

[YumoS]

Some people think Pinky doesnt exist. i found 3 in my world
