Terrarian dispatches, part the next.
Day 2 of digging in the jungle: found a shrine and a Staff of Regrowth in it. Finished crafting a stack of buckets. Things are easier now. Finally got a depth meter (from a jungle bat) and made the GPS.
Day 3: found two more shrines. Still no anklet. The tunnel ends at the temple now (I had reached it through a side passage before), so a new tunnel is needed. Doing fishing quests. The Lifeform Analyzer detected a Lost Girl in the snow caverns, but I didn't have a Hunter Potion on me, too bad. Finished crafting Jungle equipment, now using Blade of Grass instead of the phaseblade. Found a Skeleton Merchant, bought 10 treasure-detecting glowsticks.
I'm ignoring Blood Moons now and reluctantly fighting Goblin Invasions.
Queen Bee is dead! Started another tunnel and immediately found a hive. Cleaned up the place a little, set platforms, put up a campfire and the lamps, equipped all the weapons. The spawns were seriously hurting me and the battle was going nowhere, then I started spamming Water Bolt. Things improved immediately, and the spawns helped out by providing healing and mana replenishing ephemera. Got the honeycomb and the bow.
Day 4: Found an Extractinator in a wooden crate while doing fishing quests. Immediately processed all the silt/slush I'd saved up, earned $70. Got twice as many diamonds as amber.
Building fishing spots for quests. Got a hat. Two zephyr fish now, still no pufferfish. The Lifeform Analyzer detected a Lost Girl while I was fishing in the snow caverns, but it despawned while I was opening the inventory to drink a potion.
Built a reservoir/generator for honey immediately below my floating base. The base itself is in dire need of renovation again. The jungle is actually very fun to explore. Found a fiberglass fishing pole, among other stuff. Got a bezoar. Accidentally wasted 1 glowstick.
Day 5: fished some more, got the shirt, the fishing manual, the fishing line and finally the pants.
Discovered I hadn't been actuallly using the minecart, equipped it properly.
Accidentally wasted 2 more treasure glowsticks. Found three living mahogany trees with an anklet in the third one. Now I only need the flower boots.
Found the Skeleton Merchant with a green counterweight on offer in the afternoon. Because I don't have a sextant yet, I decided to camp out until evening, but for some reason he had a green counterweight again this night. Waiting more would've got me over the time limit, plus I still didn't know the exact phase of the moon, so pissing off security for a 50% stab at a lantern wasn't a good option. Maybe later. Stocked up on glowsticks, though.
Anyway, I have the anklet now, so Skeletron dies tonight.
