Section Purpose
Stage-by-stage gear, accessories, potions, and mistake checks for melee, ranged, magic, summoner, and hybrid play.
This section turns one family of player problems into a reading route: entry decision first, then individual boss, class, map, database, or video pages. Future content should link back here so readers do not land on isolated articles.
Recommended Reading Order
- Melee pre-Hardmode loadout: Pre-Hardmode melee should balance defense and reach; swap swords, yoyos, and boomerangs by boss need.
- Ranger pre-Hardmode loadout: Ranged progression depends on ammo supply, movement space, and piercing choices, not only the highest damage bow.
- Mage pre-Hardmode loadout: Early magic should solve mana sustain and safe damage before chasing high-cost weapons.
- Summoner pre-Hardmode loadout: Early summoner needs whip targeting and a backup weapon to cover minion AI gaps.
- Accessory reforge priority: Reforge to fix mobility, defense, and crit or damage gaps; do not spend every coin on one damage stat.
Maintenance Rules
- Every article must answer one clear question before steps and troubleshooting.
- Add video when timing, positioning, or building structure matters; add tables when route comparison matters.
- After each content batch, add new pages here and link article pages back to the section.
