still farming/prep pre-WoF.
iceskates took forever to find. (ice biome is quarantined from existing corruption now, but is still in direct path of the V from woF.. its going to get wrecked.)
Then turned my attention to trying to get a lava charm to make the terraboots.
two options for that. chest in lava spawning cavern layer. or fished up via obsidian crates.
Been trying the obsidian crate option.
To do that, you need to first collect hell critters. collected 10+ of those, while building more bridge to prep WoF.
first tried to fish in cavern lava, with a crate potion. went poorly. 10+s per line toss.. was odd. 2 obsidian crates for 2 crate potions... no luck.
so, I decided to try going to get a gnome statue. tried to farm a gnome near living tree wood. failed at that after 15min or so...
so, decided plan c. make a bunch of buckets, collect lava, and make a lava pool next to my jungle fishing hole. and get that torch luck.
This seemed to work. 5 obsidian crates in like 2 or 3 crate potions. no lava charm still, but DID get multiple endless lava buckets, the fireproof fishing hook, and some other decent cool stuff. fireproof hook means I dont need to bother with hell critters for bait, and can just use any bait now.
So still need to fish more. but should got much faster now.
still have not found a spider cave for stylist either.
no bast statues yet either. (didnt look TOO hard, or try fishing for em yet.)
