Terraria: Journey's End Update

Welcome, Jumper, to the world of Terraria. Oh, don't give

me that, '2d Minecraft,' sass. We've got actual magic,

here, not just enchanting; actual, legitimate, gear

progression; and a veritable metric ton of bosses, compared

to Minecraft's, what, two? Not to mention that our floating

islands aren't just bugs in terrain generation. Whatever

the case, and whatever you think, that's the world you're

going to have to go to for the next ten years, so remember

the two main rules: Don't die, and try to be interesting.

kind of world rules you're using. Your, 'difficulty,' as it

were. Quick side-note before this, though, unless you take

either Expert Mode or Master Mode, in Drawbacks, your armor

is going to be only half as effective as listed for your

time here; see their entries in Drawbacks, or the links to

the full changes between modes in Notes, below, to learn

more. Here are your options:

Hardcore[Free]

You die? You're done. Buh-bye. Go directly home, do not

pass, 'Go,' all that jazz. The standard difficulty.

process, meaning you'll have to scramble back to where you

died to get it, but you get to start at 100% of your base

health(which is different than 100% of your total health,

see Notes) so, hey, little safety nets. Added bonus: You

get to do this once a Jump from now on. Well, kind of a

bonus; you still drop your stuff.

Classic[400 CP]

Mediumcore too hard? Alright, here: All the benefits of

Mediumcore, but you only drop half of the money you're

carrying at the time you get your innards turned into

from here on out, you can respawn. You don't even drop

anything when you do. Still doesn't stack, though. Not

sorry. Moreover, you get access to the Powers Menu, but

only slightly over half of it, four out of the seven

available. You get access to the, 'Duplicate,' 'Research,'

'Time,' and, 'Weather,' Powers. Duplicate is useless on its

items and objects, permanently destroying them, to gain the

ability to use Duplicate and, as the name suggests,

duplicate the object in question, limitlessly. This just

creates a basic, unmodified version of that item, not

twelve noon(1200), seven-thirty PM(1930) or midnight(0000),

and change the rate at which time appears to pass, anywhere

from normal speed to twenty-four times speed. Weather, on

the other hand, is not cosmetic; it allows you to determine

the presence and intensity of precipitation for the current

area's temperature, up to a heavy rain and/or thunderstorm

or equivalent, as well as the speed and direction of wind,

or simply stop these things from changing randomly. Both

Time and Weather have a radius of approximately 8,400

feet(~1.6 miles/~2.56 km) from either you, or a point you

build. You can choose one from the list below:

Adventurer[Free]

Your drop-in option. You're good at exploring and getting

crystals, and the like lie this way.

Warrior[Free]

your opponents' faces or from the other end of a long shaft

of wood, metal, or chain, dealing more damage and taking

less are the kinds of things down this road.

Ranger[Free]

The shoosting option. You excel at hitting your target all

the way from downtown, plinking away at them from your

maximum possible range. Options for better ranged damage,

and more efficient ammo usage over this way.

Sorcerer[Free]

things to do your dirty work for you. Having stronger, more

adept summons is what you're in for, here.

World Type

There's not a lot of difference from one, "world," though

it's more like an island, to the next. The only thing left

to determine is whether your world is infected with The

Crimson or The Corruption. Alternately, you may pay 50 CP

to pick your poison. Roll 1d8:

1-3: The Corruption

A dark, blighted land, the grass, the trees' leaves, the

water, and even the stone of the landscape dyed a deep,

litter it, many with enormous pulsating orbs of inky

4-6: The Crimson

A bloody, pestilent land, the grass, water, leaves on the

trees, and stone all dyed a deep, sickly shade of crimson

like blood left too long in the sun. "Crimera," flying

abominations of flesh, dot the skies, "Face Monsters,"

crimson-blighted undead with enormous, hanging jaws full of

teeth and massive, amber-colored eyes walk the grounds,

and, "Blood Crawlers," massive fleshy spiders climb the

cave walls in the underground. The caverns of the

underground branch off into narrow pathways with beating,

bloody hearts at their deepest reaches. Like the dark orbs

You can choose either of the two above.

neat and tidy as you might imagine from the looks of it,

with its cyan grass, rainbow-leaved trees, and sweetly-

colored, pinkish-purple waters.

The Hallow is populated with angry unicorns and pixies that

will kill you given the chance, and at night come the,

"Gastropods," flying, pink-shelled snails that spit little

pink lasers that hurt nearly three times as much as being

shot with a rifle. I wouldn't suggest you take the option

unless you're absolutely sure you're ready, or you're an

old salt at this whole, "Jumping," thing.

of mods.

Single Mod[100 CP]

You add the contents of a single mod to your world,

of life tweaks: A checklist for bosses added, a more

universal storage system, and a recipe browser.

Mod Pack[200 CP]

Three mods, for the cost of two? That's what I call a deal!

Also includes the quality of life tweaks. You can add

another mod to this list for every extra 50 CP you pay.

Perks

You receive your background's first 100 CP perk for free,

with the second background 100 CP perk at a discount, as

well as discounts on all of your background's other perks.

Adventurer

Glittering Gold[100 CP]

As you know, and have likely learned in your travels,

boxes, crates, bags, chests, barrels, and even some enemies

able to defend yourself, giving you the ability to craft

the weapon or armor that will turn a fight from a tense

scramble for survival into a cakewalk. To that end, you're

valuables, tugging harder for more valuable things. In

addition to this, whenever you mine out a vein of ore,

gems, or some such similar thing, you receive a +15% boost

to the amount you'd otherwise get out of it, with an extra

+5% to your haul for every two other Adventurer perks you

have, to a total of +25%.

I just bet your vision is getting pretty cluttered by now,

huh? Well, just a bit more if you can stand it; this can be

pretty useful, and you can toggle it on and off.

You receive a 10-slot hotbar and 40-slot inventory,

complete with a pair of additional 4-slot inventories for

that allows you to make anything you have the materials

for, without lifting a finger, as long as you're within

about five feet of the necessary crafting area. This

includes a toggle that just shows you a grid of everything

you can make, once all of your available materials and

crafting station proximity are accounted for, and the

ability to access containers from this inventory.

Across from the crafting bar, in the bottom-right, is a set

of slots for equipment: A helmet; a suit of armor; a set of

and grappling hook). Each of these has a vanity slot to

make them look like another of the same or similar kind of

five. This stacks additively with other bonuses.

You're incredibly good at intuiting the best way to use a

even obviously melee-oriented. You want to use a yoyo?

Put simply, as long as you don't die, you have a tendency

to just... not stay injured. Which is, honestly, about half

the battle. You heal supernaturally quickly, about 2% of

your basic health per minute, once you manage to get away

from sources of damage and catch your breath. Just for

quick reference, this is roughly equivalent to constantly

being under the effect of a Regeneration Potion, but

because this is just something you do naturally, the two

stack. It also, effectively, makes you immune to the damage

destruction when facing one of them down. You're about

twice as effective at picking out their attack patterns,

and easily adapt to sudden, mid-battle changes to these

attack patterns. You find elemental weaknesses and

weakpoints to be completely obvious, despite any attempts

to hide them, if any exist. In general, you're just,

overall, great at picking their combat strategy apart and

tearing them all manner of new orifices, a skill which is

further boosted by the fact that you deal an inherent +50%

damage to them, added on top of any other bonuses.

Wheels, Sandcastle Buckets that magically create randomly-

instead get a bottomless bucket and an infinitely absorbent

sponge that can absorb any, 'liquid,' including lava. The

bucket retains a full amount of any liquid placed inside it

unless the liquid is purposefully thrown out, and the

sponge can clean up any liquid, though any liquid that goes

into the sponge cannot be retrieved.

Money[50 CP]

A single gold coin, twice as much as you'd need to attract

a Merchant to whatever settlement you live in, as long as

you've also got an empty house for him to live in. For an

extra +50 CP, this is boosted up to 10 gold pieces.

Money Trough[200 CP]

Why does this thing smell like blood..? It's a novelty pink

as a standard treasure chest. It's connected to an actual

piggy bank, which you also receive, and that you can easily

place on any stable surface that's large enough to support

it. But, seriously, maybe take some salt and an alcohol-

soaked cloth to this? It smells freaking -ripe-.

You get two bottles, one containing Healing Potion, the

other containing Mana Potion; the former restores 100

CP, these can be upgraded to their Greater versions, each

restoring 200 of their respective resource. These

regenerate, all at once, once every six hours. Care should

be taken, however, as when drinking a Healing Potion of any

In addition, you may also buy the following potions which

regenerate once each day:

Regeneration Potion, +50 CP; Increases the rate at which

you regenerate your health for 5 hours.

Magic Regeneration Potion, +50 CP; Increases the rate at

which you regenerate your mana for 7 hours.

Endurance Potion, +100 CP; Causes you to ignore the first

Wings[200 CP; Discount Hallow, via Hard Mode Pick]

You receive a pair of wearable wings. They function fairly

well, with most allowing you to fly for about two to three

minutes, between a minute forty and three minutes,

you can have any pair of early crafted wings(anything made

using Souls; see Notes, below, for a link to a list of

wings), or a pair of custom-designed wings; a custom pair

of wings will allow two minutes of flight, a maximum

vertical jump height of a hundred and twenty feet, a glide

speed of thirty-two miles per hour(before movement

bonuses), and a jump speed multiplier of a hundred and

fifty percent(added onto any jump bonuses, such as from

rocket boots). For an extra +50 CP, you can increase the

flight time to two and a half minutes, the jump height to a

Alternatively, also for +100 CP, you can have a boss drop

or luminite-tier set of wings, and instead have a pair of

custom vanity wings that, on their own, only have a flight

time of twenty-five seconds, a maximum jump height of

thirty-six feet, a horizontal speed of fifteen miles per

hour, and a vertical jump speed multiplier of a hundred and

Alternatively, you can import any human-sized or smaller

You receive an item that, upon use, summons a rideable

creature, or object, that grants some form of enhanced

movement, whether that be flight, enhanced speed, boosted

jumps, damaging opponents in some way, or some combination

of the above. The base cost is for standard difficulty,

pre-hardmode mounts; mounts that are only either hardmode

or master mode cost an additional +50 CP, but mounts that

are available in master mode once you've entered hardmode

are worth an extra +100 CP. See Notes, below, for a link to

as well as standard discounts and a Standard Starting

Package for their background. On top of that, they also

receive 600 CP to spend on other perks or gear at your

discretion.

Alternatively, you can recruit an NPC from this world as a

Companion. For 100 CP, you can recruit a pre-hardmode NPC;

for +50 CP, you can instead recruit a hardmode NPC; or, for

You're allowed three drawbacks, total, but the different

The enemies in this world are... different, now. Smarter.

More dangerous. Slimes will jump specifically to hit you;

Zombies will now no longer just march at you, and will

stage traps that will only get more elaborate as the Jump

continues; Demon Eyes will fly in flocks that can actually

use the eyes that make up their entire bodies, no longer

just bouncing off of things; etc. Worse yet, bosses will

get better rewards, as well: Enemies drop more coins and

items; bosses drop treasure bags for everyone that is

involved in the fight, and drop special, unique items; that

kind of thing. See Notes for a link to the full changes.

Fortune & Glory, Jumper.

"No! NO! NOT THE BEES!" That? That's you by the end of your

time here. Instead of a Guide, you have a Merchant, and

gemstones are replaced with crispy honey; and various other

against you. This event, for the ten years you're here,

will happen at least once every two weeks, and as often as

every night, making every night much, much harder to

survive.

That didn't hurt too bad, now did it? -

Maybe you could settle in here, make it a life.

This was certainly fun, but it's time to get a move on to

the next world.

Notes:

Metals:

There are thirteen types of metal endemic to most types of

Terraria world, but eight of these types are chosen from a

list of sixteen. You only receive one of tin or copper,

iron or lead, silver or tungsten, gold or platinum,

demonite or crimtane, and, after you progress enough,

or titanium.

One heart is worth twenty(20) health, and each point is

worth one percent(1%) of your starting health; it's the
