4.3 went live on the Public Test Realms yesterday. There will obviously be some changes based on the PTR feedback between now and when it hits the live servers… but it’s a look into what direction this content patch is going and what we can expect. I’m collapsing this post so that it doesn’t take up a ton of room on the front page so click “Keep Reading” to see the patch notes.
Jeb tweeted an image of what appears to be potion durations. There’s three empty bottles in his inventory that further supports this theory.
They seem to be pretty self-explanitory… speed is likely increased movement speed, strength is likely the damage done to mobs (and it’d be awesome if it sped up block-breaking), jump would be an increased jump height, resistance would probably be reduced damage taken, and water breathing is obviously the ability to not drown or slow down the rate at which your character runs out of air.
We’re not sure if they all have multiple tiers of potions like the Speed II and Strength II. We’re also not sure if it’s a stronger potion or if it’s just two speed potions drank back-to-back. Also unclear is the starting duration of the potions (at least 6:34 seconds) or what the ingredients are.
Unfortunately in his tweet he said that this will not likely make the 1.9 Adventure Update patch. Also, Notch has stated that 1.9 will likely get item repairing! Sweet!!
Tiy over at the TerrariaOnline.com forums teased us yet again yesterday.

Analyzing this first image we see the pink hammer obviously… whether or not it’s a player-thrown weapon or a boss thrown weapon is unclear, but it’s there… and he’s in a dungeon. He also seems to be wearing an iron type armor that looks a lot like an apron and some iron armbands. Not sure if this is just a new armor model or a new armor item.

Analyzing the second image we definitely see a banner hanging outside of the house, a streetlamp, and new glass blocks for houses. I’m not sure if the green tinted blocks under his feet are just silver blocks or are a new type of block, but they make for a great pathway.

In this last image we clearly see several new weapons/items in his toolbar at the top… in slot 8 is a very interesting item, a metal bell looking item. Not sure if this is a trinket or an item to summon something. There’s also a new sword mixed in there. The red eyes look to be those of a bat and looking at another image Tiy posted, it definitely seems that there will be lots of them.
This next Terraria update looks like it’s going to be a really fun one with loads of new items, zones, and creatures added… very exciting!
