Whenever you smash a shadow orb, there is a 50/50 chance that a meteorite will land the next night. If you smash it between midnight and 4am, you will know right away if you won the coin toss. After you smash the first one there is a standing 5% chance every night that one will land. No more than 1 meteorite can land in a single night. If you need ore, and you are well-equipped enough to mine meteorites, and you have smashed all the orbs in your main world, create a second and even a third world and start smashing shadow orbs there to trigger a meteorite strike. Be careful, though; smashing 3 orbs in any world will summon the "Devourer of Worlds" boss. Not a particularly hard fight if you're well equipped but just be aware that smashing the third orb triggers it.
I found some hell stone I believe. Where can you craft it? I have the anvil, furnace, loom, tinker worship, alchemy station, workshop. Anything I'm missing?
If I remember correctly, you needed an hell stone forge found In well.... hell. I think you need Obsidian also to make a hell stone bar. With the bars you can make a whole lot of stuff.
Just to add, one can make obsidian by touching/combining/pouring lava and water together. The point at where they touched creates obsidian which can be mined. I usually dig through underground pools straight down til it pours into a lava pool, though there are more efficient ways to collect ie obsidian generators.
They can be found in the underworld. They look like regular forges except they are red. They can be removed with a hammer and taken back to your house, where you can use it to replace your regular forge. My apologies for not telling you this in my first post. I know getting down there is a pain. To make the trip easier, you can build a "hellevator" in your main world, which is nothing but a single shaft straight down that ends in a pool of water (soft landing). Don't touch the sides on your way down, though!
Ah I also had trouble with that. If you want to create bottled water to create potions, step in water and go to your menu. Go to the potions place and there should be an option to make bottle water. If you want raw water you can dump then make buckets.
You need a shadow key which is found in gold chests. Once you find a shadow key, you can use it to open as many shadow chests as you want. The shadow chest has good stuff like Flower of fire, a pretty nice magic weapon and some other things too. Someone found a hamdrax in theirs and that's what I aim to find.
You won't find one in the regular caverns. You will need to look in the dungeon or a floating island.
The best option is to find a gravity potion then you can just hit up and down to stay in the air. Your other option is to take wood platforms and build a sky bridge if you're trying to look for floating islands.
The bottle will only make a health potion not allow you to use the water, a bucket is your best option.
