This means that a new enemy can only be spawned if the sum of the NPC slots of all current active enemies is lower than 5. Since there are 60 ticks in 1 second, there is a 9.52% chance that at least one enemy will spawn in a given second. This means that for each tick, there is a chance of 1/600 that an enemy is spawned. There are two variables it takes into consideration when doing so: spawn rate and max spawns, with the spawn rate setting the chance of an enemy spawning at each tick, and the max spawns limiting the number of enemies that are active at a time. Such a weapon wouldn't be practicable in hardmode, but I still think that it's fun to play with some risks.The game determines new enemy spawns every tick. My personal preference is Arkhalis, just because it's more fun when playing melee to have to get close to your enemy.

Tooltip: 'I didn't get this off of a Schmoo'Īll this in mind, at long range, the enchanted sword is infinitely superior, at close range Arkhalis.

The actual statistics are far lower on Arkhalis, however, as the use time doesn't effect arkhalis's unique attack, the damage per second of Arkhalis is far higher. Without any melee accessories or armour, Arkhalis against 1 target has about the same damage per second as the enchanted sword against 3. Despite having a lower damage per hit than the enchanted sword, Arkhalis far outstrips it's counterpart's damage at close range. The statistics of the enchanted sword are as follows:Īrkhalis is a very different weapon, whereas the enchanted sword is powerful due to its range,Īrkhalis has very little range and no beam, however, it's damage more than makes up for this lack of range, rather than the overhead swing stereotypical of swords, Arkhalis swings up and down incredibly quickly. The enchanted sword when swung fires a projectile at the cost of no item or mana, a beam is only fired roughly every 1-2 seconds, the player will hear a faint noise when the beam is recharged. If you've run away with the idea that arkhalis is far more powerful than the enchanted sword, put such a notion from your mind, despite the large difference in rarity, both swords are equally powerful. Nevertheless, this is a highly effective means of finding shrines, using a flame lash or a magic missile and attacking the ground makes a large number of particles with similar effects, although they are somewhat harder to get then a pair of rocket boots & any mount. I have no idea why this happens, that it would replace spectre or frostspark with rocket boot fire seems like a fairly normal glitch but why it would would show most of what beneath you is beyond me.

Of rocket boots will come from your feet and go very far underground illuminating what's beneath you, You have is irrelevant-if you start riding your mount while flying with boots several flames like those Wearing spectre boots, lightness boots, frostspark boots. While flying with any type rocket boots, regardless of whether your an easier way is to exploit a small bug concerning mounts. Method is it's quite time consuming, Either weapon is only useful pre-hardmode or very early hardmode meaning your pickaxe will be quite slow if your looking for one. Keep digging sideways until you find a vertical tunnel or the shrine itself. The simplest way is to dig a tunnel about 15-40 blocks deep, then If you're having trouble finding the shrines, there are a few different ways to go about it.įor one thing the only biome they can be found in is the forest biome, but not the one you spawn in,Įach world-with a few exceptions do to odd world generation-has a forest at the center of the world.Īnd another forest just before the ocean, It doesn't matter if this area is corrupt or crimson, It will never be under desert or jungle, in short, the surface has to be made of dirt & stone(The jungle being Or lead sword, but it doesn't-however there is a 1/3 chance that the sword in the stone will be blue with a red gem, Breaking this will give you a powerful sword, there is a 9/10 chance the dropped sword will be the enchanted sword & a 1/10 chance for it to be Arkhalis.
