I still don't know how to get that.

Rare drop from mobs on a blood moon
EDIT: I got, "Ninja'd"

A lot of stuff introduced in 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 still manages to surprise. Not so much 1.2.3 anymore, but seriously... How many different types of fish are there???

1/500 drop chance from any mob on a blood moon in hardmode. (Including statue spawned mobs)

I didn't realize that there was a clothier voodoo doll, for around a year! Infact, I'm still looking for one

The Parrot Cracker.

I only recently discovered the Halloween themed skeletons while digging in the game's sprites. Yet again, I spent most of Halloween out in a crimson arena and in the dungeon

Until about 4:00am today, I didn't realize Terraria had an "undo" key. Pressed Ctrl-Z, last block placed went back into my inventory. Three more times, two blocks and I walked backward a step. Wow, it was great! Such convenience, and I'd not suspected that it existed until-
Pesky dreams. Grr.

Holy crap, you actually convinced me XD

I dunno.
I guess it would have to be Adamantite.
This is back in 1.1.
My friends hinted at some "super powerful material, the rarest ore in the game."
turns out I dug out a huge area at the bottom of the map looking for it, never found any.
Then Hardmode happened.

Found out (as of this post) that the Magic Harp is affected by the Frost Armor set bonus. It will inflict the Frost Burn DOT on enemies. I never knew this! And yes, yes I know that this is a bug and likely will be patched one day.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I didn't know about poisoned throwing knives or the parrot cracker until I read this thread. Or the beach ball thing.

Learn something new every day...

Ice Bow and Toy Sled

 

[SilverHexxitFights]

For me, it's the Honey Balloon.

I didn't know that if you get hit by a demon eye in hight and then then hit again you can stay for a while in the air...it should be a terrarian sport

Black cat, so cute!

 

[PulseFox]

i recently figured out that if you get gems and glass to make stained glass, you will be rich. (500 purple stained glass = 25 Gold :O ) (+ its walls, and 50 walls is 1 gem)

 

[Demon Master]

The power of the explosive trap. I knew they existed but that they are very rare. I ran into my first one today after 170 hours of play time and died instantly. I jumped a mile.

I try to do that all the time, in fact. When I play terraria, that is-

 

[Final]

I had no idea the Unicorn on a Stick existed...what a strange item

Ok..... I just learned that it existed to after reading your post
