I got several of the wands because of Prismite, which makes the 20% hp pots, which are super good for master mode since you get hit for like 100-150 a pop by some shit, so I fished a bunch there. Wands aren't that common but it's not really wasted, especially if you're also going for crates there(hallowed crates are garbage on the other hand).I did push hardmode last night. Wall was cake with demon scythe. I actually made my bridge way too long. I thought it I might need more with master HP.
but hardmode itself. yikes. cant kill shit..
wall dropped laser rifle which is just an ok up/sidegrade to demon scythe and magic missile.
V hit some weird spots pretty far offset. corruption threaded the needle between jungle and desert hitting the preexisting corruption dead on. Jungle is even protected by the temple.
hallow started pretty far to the left completely encasing my hell/cavern home/pylon. converting the houses into hallow. then went up hitting my right desert/corruption. missing the ice thankfully. but, again amusingly converting half of my corruption arena into hallow.

plan A was to get a meteor staff.
And I decided pretty quick that smashing alters for ore, was not what I wanted. spreading corruption, and frankly, too dangerous. ha.
So, fishing for ore gunna be it. 1 crate potion in underground got me 9 mythril bars of the 10 needed for anvil. so feeling pretty good about that plan atm.
also, while checking which biome I should be fishing in, I noticed hallow has a really good magic wand fish. crystal serpant. so that looks stupid good, and will be the target.
Not sure how you're fishing btw but for crates I found the best was to use a sonar potion too, and use the highest baits(if you've been doing quests, master ones) and only reel the crates so you barely use up your good baits but still get the benefit of the higher fishing power. Once you fish enough it becomes irrelevant cause you have too much bait but it's pretty good early on.
Gonna have to go and fish some summoning pots fishes soon as I'm running out(well not exactly running out, but I have less than 30 left).
And yeah in the end I mined my stuff but it was mostly because I found most of the right ores in the caves surrounding the spider cave I was farming for my summoning shit so I figured I might as well. Found several veins of palladium on the way down then the 3rd tier ore and orichalcum was a bit more of a pain until I ran into a big spot with 2 juicy veins a bit further. But crates gave a bunch of bars and ores and at least at that point I had almost maxed fishing gear(didn't have a 2nd angler earring, but gold rod+master bait+fishing set+accessory) so I was getting the good crates a bunch.
