Q: What is the Corruption?
A: The Corruption is a sort of disease, eating away at the world. You'll know when you've found the Corruption when the sky turns dark and the ground becomes purple.
Q: What is inside the Corruption?
A: The following things can be found within the Corruption:
-Purple thorns that damage players but can be destroyed with any tool.
-Vile Mushrooms, used to make Vile Powder and then Worm Bait.
-Chasms, gigantic pits.
-Ebonstone, rock that is indestructable to everything but Dynamite and Demonite-tier picks or better.
-Demonic Altars.
-Chests, often inside the chasms.
-Shadow Orbs, the core of the corruption, deep within the chasms.
-Two unique enemies, the Eater of Souls and the Devourer.
-Deathweed, one of the six alchemy plants.
Q: What are Shadow Orbs?
A: Shadow Orbs are concentrations of evil energy that can be destroyed with a hammer or Dynamite. Destroying a Shadow Orb can have several effects, ranging from a Meteor dropping to a boss enemy being summoned. You also recieve a free mid-level item such as a Musket or Band of Regeneration.
Q: A meteor fell! What happened?
A: A meteor has fallen somewhere in your world. It can be anywhere; on your house, near the dungeon, in the corruption itself, on a floating island, in the middle of nowhere, etc. The meteor itself takes the form of a massive crater filled with glowing purple Meteorite Ore. You'll also be attacked by Meteor Heads if you venture near.
Q: What can I do with the meteorite?
A: Meteorite can be mined with Gold or better pickaxes, and forged into powerful equipment. The Meteorite itself is classified as a fire-type stone, and will hurt you when you touch it unless you've equipped an Obsidian Skull.
Q: How do I get rid of the Meteor Heads?
A: Meteor Heads spawn endlessly as long as enough Meteorite remains in the crater. It takes exactly fifty meteorite ores to spawn Meteor Heads; any less and they go away.
Q: What is the Dungeon?
A: The Dungeon is a massive tower-like construct that contains high-level enemies and treasures, guarded by Skeletron.
Q: I entered the Dungeon and died instantly?!
A: If you haven't defeated Skeletron, you'll be instantly killed if you try and enter during the day. At night, you'll be attacked by seven or eight Skeletron Heads at the same time. Have fun trying to do anything there, although it is possible to kill him with lots of potions and super-good armor.
Q: What exactly is inside the Dungeon?
A: Angry Bones, Dark Casters and Flaming Skulls run rampant within the Dungeon. High-level items such as the Muramasa and Blue Moon can be found in chests within, and Heart Crystals are often amongst the loot.
Q: What's with these spikes?
A: Spikes inside the dungeons can be destroyed with powerful enough Hammers and placed elsewhere, or dug around/grappled over.
Q: Can I take the bricks making up the dungeon?
A: Of course! You can collect bricks by mining/hammering them, like any other bricks.
Q: My friend's dungeon is green and pink, but mine is blue!
A: Dungeons come in all sorts of colors, randomized to the world. You can collect all sorts of different colored bricks and build a rainbow or something with your friends. The current available colors seem to be green, pink and blue, and the developers state there are to be twenty or so colors overall.
Q: What is the underground jungle?
A: A large section of the world is converted into a jungle in each world. The jungle is filled with Jungle Slimes and Jungle Bats on the surface, and Hornets and Man-Eaters below. Green glowy decor makes it pretty obvious when you've found it, as well as the sky turning greenish.
Q: How can I find the jungle?
A: As of 1.0.4, the Jungle extends all the ways to the surface. Explore a bit and look for weird plants and a green-tinted sky. Remember, digging down underground is a good way to find more danger and more goodies!
Q: What can I find inside the jungle?
A: As mentioned, Jungle Slimes, Cave Bats, Hornets and Man-Eaters appear within. There are shiny golden altars holding chests, often with jungle-exclusive look, and the enemies have a good chance of dropping very powerful items such as the Blade of Grass and Thorn Chakra, as well as the Ivy Whip, an upgraded Grappling Hook. You'll have to just keep killing them and hope you get the loot!
Q: What is the floating island?
A: Floating islands are exactly what they sound like; large floating masses of land. One world can have multiple islands.
Q: What can I find on the floating island?
A: In the current build, floating islands are barren for the most part. They contain a pregenerated house made of metal bricks, and the chest inside said house holds an ultra-rare item - the Balloon, Starfury or Horseshoe. The island often holds Gold and Silver Ores in it's dirt, but aside from that, there isn't much else of note. Harpies tend to spawn on islands, so be careful.
