because I always have all the colors on 85. This will change it to black.
-VOLUME
-If you can't tell what this does, then you shouldn't be reading this.

-____________________________________________________________________________
______-Before you start, you will notice that there are options for your character
and world:
-CHARACTER
-Hair (As of now, there are 35 hair shape options; the hair color works the
same as the
Cursor Color option, and as such, I won't go into detail on how it works)
-Eyes (Color works the same as Cursor Color)
-Skin (Color works the same as Cursor Color)
-Clothes (Is broken into 4 sub-categories; all colors work the same as Curso
r Color)
-Shirt
-Undershirt
-Pants
-Shoes
-Gender (It only changes the sound effects that your character makes)
-Difficulty (There are 3 options)
-Softcore (Characters only drop half (rounded up if odd) of their money upo
n death)
-Mediumcore (Characters drop half of their money and all items upon death)
-Hardcore (Characters stay dead for good upon death)
-WORLD
-Small (Fastest loading time and smallest size (of course)
-Medium (Average loading time and average size (of course)
-Large (Slowest loading time and largest size (of course)
-GAME INTERFACE (It might have been better to create a different section for

this)
-Important things to note
-Weapons have damage counters. Before 1.0.6, it used to be the exact damage,
calculated
with the enemy's defense (NOT SHOWN). Now, the damage is in the same range a
s the listed
damage.
-Speed, when increased, is barely noticeable, unless you have all the acceso
ry slots are
filled. Even if they are, I believe only 4 of them count.
-Fall damage starts appearing at 25 blocks high. Then it will do 1 damage. A
t 26 blocks,
it increases to 7 damage. Any block higher will increase the damage by 10.
-Most items under Tier 2 (Blue) will burn in lava.
Now that that's over let's start with the guide, shall we?

Getting Wood
T:002 ||
||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
-_____________________________________________________________________________
______-When you start the game, you are given a Copper Shortsword, a Copper Pickaxe,
and a
Copper Axe. Before 1.0.5, they never gave you a Copper Shortsword. It wouldn't
matter
anyway, since the easiest sword to make is better than the Copper Shortsword.
It's also
impossible to spawn in a desert ever since 1.0.4 (?), so you should be able to
find trees
easily. To collect all of the wood from a tree, hold a left click at the botto
m block of
the tree. Any block higher will only make it and the blocks higher than it dro
p, and
since you can't mine blocks under a tree, it would be best to mine the bottom
block.
Also, you start with one NPC known as the Guide. He will tell you what items
you can
make with an item if you present him an item (by inserting it into the empty b
lock at the
bottom left portion of the screen once you talk to him and select "Crafting").
He also
gives useful tips (useful for beginners at least). He tells you how to attract
an NPC
to a house and the requirements to attract a specific NPc to a house. Many peo
ple hate
him, and you can kill him (Not until REALLY late in the game, though).
After you have 40-50 or so wood, your next best interest would be to make a w
orkbench.
To make a workbench, you need 10 Wood.

----------------------------------------WORKBENCH
Type: Utility
Tier: White
Items needed: 10 Wood
Amount output: 1 Workbench
Utility needed: None
Use: Used for basic crafting recipes, but
is mostly used for wood recipes.
----------------------------------------If you plan on making a house right now, skip to the next section. If not, ke
ep reading.
Now, place down the Workbench and open your menu next to it. If you have extr
a wood
(like I told you to get) you should see a LOT of new crafting recipes:
----------------------------------------WOOD WALL
Type: Wall
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Wood
Amount output: 4 Wood Walls
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used to prevent mobs from spawning
in your house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOOD PLATFORM
Type: Block (somewhat)
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wood Platform
Utility needed: None
Use: Can be jumped onto from underneath.
Great for navigating out of mineshafts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN DOOR
Type: Interactant
Tier: White
Items needed: 6 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Door
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: To have a way outside of a house,
while keeping (most) mobs out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN CHAIR
Type: Comfort (Type 1)
Tier: White
Items needed: 4 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Chair
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used as an item to attract NPCs into
a house.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------SIGN
Type: Message Board
Tier: White
Items needed: 6 Wood
Amount output: 1 Sign
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Type messages on them, and view them
later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN TABLE
Type: Comfort (Type 2)
Tier: White
Items needed: 8 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Table
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used as an item to attract NPCs into
a house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN SWORD
Type: Melee Weapon
Tier: White
Items needed: 7 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Sword
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used to kill enemies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN HAMMER
Type: Hammer
Tier: White
Items needed: 8 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Hammer
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Anything you can't break with a
pickaxe or axe, most likely, you can
break it with a hammer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------WOODEN BOW
Type: Ranged Weapon
Tier: White
Items needed: 10 Wood
Amount output: 1 Wooden Bow
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used to kill enemies from range;
uses arrows as ammo.
----------------------------------------With those items in hand, you should be ready to build a house now (Also, the
Wooden
Sword is an upgrade to the Copper Shortsword. Use it). Also, if you venture ou

t farther,
you can find some stone blocks. These aren't too aesthetically appealing, in m
y opinion.
However, you can turn them into something better in a little bit.

Shelter Building Overview
T:003||
||----------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
-_____________________________________________________________________________
______-All items you need to build a house is listed above in the last section.
To start off, there are 2 main categories of houses in this game. One is wher
e you build
one house and stack the NPC's houses on top. The other is where you build a to
wer and have
the NPC's live in rooms connected to the tower. I personally prefer the second
option
because of practicality and because I like the way I build them. Also, for the
second
option, there is no definitive shape that it has to be, but I like building it
as a tower.
For the first option, the first thing you need to do is to build a base 20-25
blocks long.
You can use wood or stone, but I find it more effecient to use wood because st
one has more
uses outside of building than wood. You may be thinking "Hey, wait, can't I ma
ke stone
tools like in Minecraft?" No, you can't. After all, this isn't a 2D Minecraft.
After the
base, make the walls and build them up about 6 blocks high. If you haaven't al
ready done
so, go ahead and move your workbench over into your future house. Now, again,
if you
haven't already done so, go ahead and make 2 doors (look in last section for d
etails). Now
break the bottom 3 spaces of your wall and replace them with the doors. Afterw
ards, build
the roof on the level of the 6th block on the walls. Now, for the background w
alls. If you
built a house at my recommended size, you should need 100-150 wood/stone walls
. Fill the
spaces in the house with the walls.
----------------------------------------DIRT WALL
Type: Wall
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Dirt
Amount output: 4 Dirt Walls
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used to prevent mobs from spawning
in your house.

----------------------------------------Just a note, if you destroy dirt walls that are naturally spawned, it won't d
rop anything.
Plus, the crafted dirt walls look slightly different from natural ones.
----------------------------------------STONE WALL
Type: Wall
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Stone
Amount output: 4 Stone Walls
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: Used to prevent mobs from spawning
in your house.
----------------------------------------When that's done you'll need one more thing. Torches. Coal? No, gel. Go outsi
de and kill
some Slimes to collect Gel. There are also friendly creatures to be found.
----------------------------------------GREEN SLIME
Species: Slime
HP: 14
Defense: 0
Special Attributes: None
DropS: Gel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------BLUE SLIME
Species: Slime
HP: 25
Defense: 0
Special Attributes: None
Drops: Gel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------BUNNY
Species: Friendly
HP: 5
Defense: Can't be hurt by players
Special Attributes: None
Drops: None (I believe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------GOLDFISH
Species: Friendly
HP: 5
Defense: Can't be hurt by players
Special Attributes: None
Drops: Goldfish
----------------------------------------After you've collected some gel, open up your inventory.
-----------------------------------------

TORCH
Type: Light Source
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Wood, 1 Gel
Amount output: 3 Torches
Utility needed: None
Use: To light up the place.
----------------------------------------Right now, you can make another type of torch. It's purely for aesthetic appe
al and is
more resource-draining than regular torches.
----------------------------------------TIKI TORCH
Type: Light Source
Tier: White
Items needed: 1 Torch, 3 Wood
Amount output: 1 Tiki Torch
Utility needed: Workbench
Use: To light up the place.
----------------------------------------So, one last thing you MAY get is a Furnace.
----------------------------------------FURNACE
' Type: Utility
Tier: White
Items needed: 20 Stone, 4 Wood, 3 Torches
Amount output: 1 Furnace
Utility Needed: Workbench
Use: To mold things into bricks and forge
ores into bars.
----------------------------------------It's most likely gotten on the second day and isn't too useful on the first d
ay. If
you have the materials, go ahead and make it. If not, wait until the second da
y.
Now, for the second option, I recommend doing the same as the first type, but
half
as wide. You can build up floors later.
If you want to put the Guide in your first house, do this in the original roo
m/house.
If not, then build another room or house and do this in the new room/house. Ta
ke a Chair
and a Table (Listed in the last section) and place it on the floor. The requir
ements for
something to qualify as an official "house" in Terraria are:
-Have
-Have
-Have
-Have
-Have

a Type 1 comfort item (Chair, Bench, or Toilet)

a Type 2 comfort item (Table, Dresser, or Bathtub)
a light source
all wall spaces filled
a door

Right now, you can't make a bench, dresser, toilet, or bathtub, so don't both

er. If it
hasn't already become night, it should be now.
