New Terraria Teaser

Redigit posted a picture earlier that’s yet another teaser for some of the large content additions to  Terraria coming  (hopefully) soon.

In the image we can gather a few things…

Inventory:

  1. Sword seen before in previous teaser
  2. New spear-type melee weapon
  3. Drill (a different type from the one shown here)
  4. Chainsaw
  5. Hammer made of same material as the sword
  6. Flail possibly same materials as hammer&sword
  7. Holy water (grenades?)

Armour made of the same material as the spear, drill and chainsaw. Which means a new red ore. This brings our total new armors up to three… Mithril Armor, Cobalt Armor, and this new red armor.

Accessories:

  1. Hermes-boots-type shoes. Possibly even faster boost, or a jumping boost.
  2. Blue Balloon
  3. Some sort of device or power pack for the drill+chainsaw
  4. Scuba set
  5. Shield

Click the image above to enlarge it. From his post about the “Evil Desert” we know that Hallowed Seeds will be introduced as a way to create sort of an anti-corruption area to stop the spread of corruption. Holy Water will be introduced as well as an item that can be thrown at Ebonstone to create Hallowed Stone.

I’ll be replacing the spotlight for Minecraft 1.8 changes under the header image on the site with a running list of changes and theories about the big Terraria 1.1 patch content. Until then, the wiki has a fairly concise list of assumptions and confirmations. Also, for words straight from the horses mouth so to speak, follow Redigit on the forums!

Minecraft 1.8 Release Date

Jeb tweeted a little earlier that the release date will likely be Sept 12th – this coming Monday. We’ll be starting a new world sometime Monday evening if that’s the case and will archive the world save and offer it for download under the JOB Server Saves section. Hopefully Bukkit won’t take long to update! In the meantime, check out all the changes that are coming our way with the first half of the Adventure Update!

The new “good guess” for a Beta 1.8 release date is 12th of September (this monday) =( *takes cover*

Darkmoon Faire 4.3 Preview

Source

That old thing?

No, no, no, Clem. The Darkmoon Faire isn’t what it used to be and it isn’t where it used to be. The management hasn’t changed but the Faire certainly has. It’s a whole new animal. Tickets? You don’t need those old tickets, just rip ‘em right up, ‘cause we’ve got new tickets! Out with the old, in with the new — new quests, that is! Things have changed ‘round here: we’ve got an island all to ourselves now, and what an island it is. Mist-shrouded Darkmoon Island is a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. It’s a place of mystery and wonder, and you wouldn’t believe the deals we made to get it… or who we made ‘em with. But never mind that, just follow me right through here and I’ll show you what the Darkmoon Faire is all about.

All new! All spectacular!

Catch a show at the marvelous main stage or witness a dazzling fireworks display. But don’t stare too long or you might miss the stunning spectacles that surround you. Gaze in awe of our magical menagerie, get your fortune told by the amazing Sayge, go on a pony ride, experience the healthful effects of carnival food, and more!

Of course, there’s more to the Darkmoon Faire than just fantastic shows and culinary delights. You can still turn in your Darkmoon Cards, but you wouldn’t just come here for measly ol’ cards when there’s so much more to see, experience, and win. Yes, win! You like dancing bears, right? Everybody likes dancing bears. Even bears like dancing bears. How about a dancing bear… you can ride!

That’s not all! We have adorable companion pets includin’ a fez-wearing monkey, a plethora of profession recipes, toys, balloons, souvenirs, delectable carnival snacks and beverages, heirlooms for the little ones, and even replicas of long-lost suits of armor that we’re offering for your Transmogrification needs. You can also make your mark with new achievements and titles. All it takes to earn these fabulous rewards is a few Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets and a good reputation with the carnies. How do ya get your grubby mitts on some tickets? I’m glad you asked!

Step right up! Try your luck! Everyone’s a winner!

Have we got games? You bet we’ve got games, and they’re so easy to play an orc could do it. Just head on over to the midway, buy some Darkmoon Game Tokens, and get ready to play. Easy to learn, difficult to master, anyone can play and everyone can win. Just lay your tokens down for a chance at winning Darkmoon Prize Tickets playing games like Whack-a-Gnoll, the Tonk Battle Royale, the Cannon, Ring Toss, the Shooting Gallery, and more! Five games are there to test your skills at any one time. The better you play, the easier it is to win a bucket of Darkmoon Faire Prize Tickets! Once a month, you’ve got a shot at tickets, and the fun never stops ‘cause you can play as many times as you like. But that’s not the only way to win big!
