I sat on the lush, vibrant grass, the blades tickling my palms as I stared at the familiar yet surreal Terraria UI hovering in my vision. The sun was beating down hard, too. I was sweating, shirt sticking to my back. Ugh...
First and foremost, I need to make a plan.
"Ok, so what should we do?" thought I to myself sitting down on the grass.
"First – shelter. Seeing how flat this area is, it would be better to also make a volcano farm for future events. And make an underground bunker as a base.
Next I need to make 3 types of farms.
First one is place for fishing. No chests, no pots, no life crystals means I'm stuck fishing for resources. And Crates can provide me with hardmode ores too, so no need to break the demon altars.
Second is a mob farm in the underground layer. Will be helpful for Rod of Discord farm and mmm… souls?, no mimics! Will be helpful for mimics!(Not trying to justify building another farm).
Third is upgraded event farm and Old Ones Army arena.
Now when I think of it I should build my base in the sky because in hardmode if you are underground, it is quite hard to face event bosses initially and they can kill you easily, so I will make base slightly above the ground.
Next farm should be a jungle farm to farm nature's gifts, bugs(as fishing bait) and life fruits in hardmode. Next one is money farm because I want to kill duke before mechs and coin gun, although not cheap, it will be quite effective.
Next – gear. The strongest gear pre-boss is jungle armor and demon scythe as a mage class. With jungle farm I should get 2 nature's gifts for mana reduction. It is 2 accessory slots out of 6. Terraspark boots and bundle of horeshoe balloons are next. Next I will put magiluminescence and probably frog gear. And that's about it, I think.
/Author's comment, you can skip this if you know what all those accessories are.
- Nature's Gift is an accessory that reduces the mana cost of using magic weapons and other mana-consuming items by 6%. It is acquired by harvesting a rare flower that grows on Jungle grass in the Underground Jungle at any stage of the game, using any weapon or tool.
- The Mana Flower is an accessory that reduces mana usage by 8%, and enables auto-consumption of any mana-restoring potions in the player's inventory when mana is depleted. The Mana Flower stacks with other mana cost-reduction items, including Nature's Gift. It is crafted by combining nature's gift and mana potion.
- Terraspark Boots are a pre-Hardmode accessory. Grants the user the ability to fly, super fast running, extra mobility on ice and 8% increased movement speed. Provides the ability to walk on water, honey & lava. Grants immunity to fire blocks and 7 seconds of immunity to lava. Reduces damage from touching lava. Terraspark Boots are crafted using 9 different accessories.(P.S: I thought it would be more...)
- The Bundle of Horseshoe Balloons is an accessory that allows the wearer to perform a quadruple jump, negates fall damage, and increases the player's jump height by 33% and jump speed by 30%. Each of the jumps has an effect from the different combined items: sandstorm jump(from desert), then blizzard jump(from snow biome), then cloud jump(underground).
- The Magiluminescence is an accessory that increases the player's movement speed by 20%, as well as doubling acceleration and deceleration. This movement speed increase is unique in that it stacks with Hermes Boots and its variants. It also creates an aura of light around the player, which can be useful when exploring underground.
- The Frog Gear is an accessory that grants the ability to swim, climb walls. Increases jump speed and allows auto-jump. Increases fall resistance.

Next I will find shimmer, temple and dungeon. Kill the dungeon guardian and… probably than take out skeletron to get the mechanic for instant wall of flesh machine. Next kill Eye of Cthulchu for 1 in 40 chance to get binocles and… hmm… probably than move to hardmode…
Oh wait, I should also make modes to make my life easier. First I will install HERO's Mod and see how security will react. Next I will install mods that will deal with angler. Than I will try something that will disable the evil spread. And my mod that I was making.
I will install mods at night, thins I don't want to deal with mobs that early.
But first I need to check whether it is Legendary difficulty or Master mode. I hope it is not Legendary[1]."
