Terraria Server Daily Record
NOTE

This is a simple diary of our Terraria server. Screenshots are stored in /posts/terraria-server-daily-record/.

Day 0.5 - First Setup#

We started small and practical. I helped set up a basic wooden base with:

  • NPC rooms on the top floor
  • a crafting corner in the middle
  • a small storage basement

It was already enough to feel like “home”.

Early wooden base


Day 1 - Cave Fishing With Friends#

Today felt peaceful. We had a Lantern Night, and the sky above our base was full of floating lanterns.

After that, we went fishing in a cave. Three of us stood by an underground lake, placed some torches, and just fished together for a while.

Day 2 - Boss Progress + New Gear#

We gave the Eater of Worlds a try, and we beat it. The base started to look more serious, with trophies/relics and better organization.

Boss progress and trophies

New weapons (thanks to Yusagi):

  • Blade of Grass
  • Light’s Bane
  • Nightmare Pickaxe

Day 3 - Base Upgrade + Underworld Prep + Skeletron Night#

The base got bigger again. More rooms, more storage, and the whole place started to feel like a real HQ.

Base upgrade

Yusagi was basically living in the storage room (and keeping things tidy).

Where did the Hellstone Bars go?#

When I joined, the top left should have had a lot of Hellstone Bars, but they were gone after a few hours.

Then I realized what happened: someone used them to craft armor.

Underworld run: Hellstone + Lava#

Before we went down, I prepared my inventory:

  • Obsidian Skin Potion (lava immunity)
  • Ironskin + Swiftness (for safety and movement)

Underworld preparation items

Mining Hellstone always feels dangerous because it releases lava, but it was worth it.

IMPORTANT

Hellstone mining is risky. Even with potions, always watch your HP and your escape path.

How to get Obsidian

You can make Obsidian by letting water touch lava. The blocks that form at the contact point are Obsidian.

Time for Skeletron#

We built a platform arena with campfires and started the fight at night. It was fast, chaotic, and honestly really fun.

This screenshot feels like a quick “squad photo” during the adventure.

Day 4 - Server Trouble + New Rooms#

Shockbyte incident

When I woke up, there was a Shockbyte incident and the server startup parameters were missing.

The server kept starting in interactive mode and got stuck on the world selection prompt.

Log snippet:

Server down for about 3 hours.

Shockbyte incident status

After that, we found (or built) a “secret tunnel” that looks like a hellevator going deeper and deeper.

Then the base expanded for player rooms. The layout is clean: stacked rooms, beds, strong lighting, and a vertical shaft for quick movement.

And yes… we expanded even more to the right side.

We also went back to fishing because I wanted the Anklet of the Wind.

Anklet of the Wind -> Lightning Boots

The Anklet of the Wind can be found in Jungle Crates (fishing in the Jungle) or Ivy Chests. Later, it can be used for Lightning Boots (with Spectre Boots + Aglet + Anklet).

Day 5 - Cozy Room + Movement Upgrade#

Yusagi’s room is honestly cozy. It has warm lighting, a small water feature, and a nice underground vibe.

Yusagi's cozy room

Big thanks to Yusagi for helping me with movement upgrades. I finally got Lightning Boots (Wild Lightning Boots in my inventory).
