And the amount of traveling to get that silver... it's actually probably faster to deconstruct your home base and reconstruct it in the mountains than mining and moving that much ore.

Like... my world is a series of small islands, so I HAD to invest in sailing because there was no other way around, and even being able to beeline the mountains from my base, it took me some 8 hours real time to mine and move enough silver to be shipped home. It's really bad.

Sorry that you had to go through all that but personally have had wonderful time with this seed. And already "had to" make another base for refining iron. This second base is located just perfectly. It is in the meadows and IRL travel time to copper is about 1min, to iron also about 1min and to the base of the mountain, where i had chests full of silver and teleport, about 1,5min so transporting ores while running the buff from first boss was really fast. Now i have enough of the stuff and have build& upgraded silver shield, the poison bow and wolf cape. Could try out the wolf fang spear, if you can recommend it, but really like to have a shield and a weapon in a battle.

This is a rhetorical post. He's not interested in tips, and advice on what to do next, he simply wanted to express his dissatisfaction in the form of a question. I
Well, had to try out how good my gear was against him. He really murdered me with two blocked hits but after that just parried and that only did 5-6points of damage to me. So, yes, the fight turned out to be bit too easy that way. I really did not expect that upgraded iron mace could do that much damage to him.

I now have three eggs but no location for the 4th boss and i am wondering why i keep on exploring those dreadful mountains. If there is no upgrades to my gear, i see no point in killing the 4th boss before trying to explore plains more -no sailing required for that :steamhappy:
BTW; Are obsidian arrows the way to go with 4th boss? And how to handle those sea serpents, can i just kill them in the deep water and collect floating loot or do i need to lure them to the shore?
Oh no I wasn't including transporting time. JUST to mine all that silver and move it to the ship was 8 or so hours. And I only managed about a cart full of silver, at that. I needed 2 or 3 carts full of the stuff in order to actually max out my silver gear.
