TERRARIA EXPERT MAGE PROGRESSION GUIDE! Terraria 1.4 Mage Guide for Beginners! Mage loadout guide!

Hello friend looking to play mage in terraria 1.4 but don’t know how to start well you’ve come to the right place welcome to zuzukorin’s expert mage progression guide where i show you a recommended boss and gear progression so that you can have a smooth mage journey of your own

I’m zuzukorn and i aim to entertain you encourage you and offer you a place to call home so subscribe now and join the zuzukone family let’s begin our expert mage journey in the magical corn field this will be a journey world but played on expert difficulty of course i won’t duplicate money and

Items as well this is purely for building convenience so welcome to the magical cornfield alright there are wings i have to trash it all first wow starting off with a mythical finch staff as well must be a sign of a great mage journey to come alright there we go nothing but tools

So to begin as always chop some trees using an axe and build a house of course we’ll be on expert difficulty right off the bat in terraria 1.4 we can’t build a huge mpc apartment anymore so try to keep to a maximum of three rooms i’m not too sure if i’ll build

Nice houses or just go with simple boxes but for now simple wooden houses it is if you’re unsure what classifies as valid npc housing check out the terraria wiki link in the description below but basically just make a workbench using 10 wood then fill each room with a table and

Chair work benches count as tables as well make sure you craft walls too mpc houses must be completely walled and with a light source like a torch made from wood and gel so there everything looks fine and dandy in expert mode defense is really important enemies are much

Tougher and deal more damage so i recommend making wood armor it might seem like the pants don’t give any armor but there’s actually a set bonus of one defense so just make it all a neat trick here is to craft multiple wooden swords until you get a good modifier on one of them

We managed to get godly which is pretty lucky so that will be our base weapon instead of the short sword with our basic loadout settled let’s go over our game plan i highly recommend going for a vowel thorn straight away which will require bombs this means that we have to explore and

Find explosives so the demolitionist npc can move in in the process of basic exploration it would be great if we can find a warn of sparking or craft the gem staff as an interim measure so let’s go oh hello bunny haha bunny go bye bye Well to our rights we’ve got the desert if you’re feeling courageous you can try exploring the underground in hopes of a thunder zapper but i strongly advise against it the underground desert is way too dangerous so unless you find one near the surface don’t even bother our very first wooden chest and we’ve

Got basically nothing it doesn’t even have a modifier we can just move on remember we are looking for a wand of sparking gems and bombs we managed to find some amethyst already which is nice while exploring make sure you look out for traps whoop right when i said that good thing

We found some potions by the way if you didn’t know you can drink potions using the h key great more amethyst and the worm i can hear it And the boulder all right let’s take this opportunity to have a look at the left side as well try not to pick any fights unless you’re sure that you can handle them it seems that we have the corruption on our left and there’s a chest right there too throwing knives well nothing much

We won’t get very far because the enemies are way too tough for us now well there anyway exploring deeper underground and we’ve got an underground house that seems to overlap with the desert so that’s pretty lucky nice we found an ancient chisel which is really good it boosts mining

Speed by quite a bit we’ve got some scarab bombs as well which are really helpful for getting the valve on i’ll show you in a bit i’m not too sure if scarab bombs count as explosives for the demolitionist but i’m sure they do even further rides we have the jungle

Which is too dangerous for us however it is good to find it since our first set of mage armor the jungle armor will be obtained from here make sure to look for live crystals as well i managed to find some dynamite so we can definitely get the demolitionist now

All we need now is a basic magic weapon alright i’ve managed to get enough materials for the gem staff i recommend buying a piggy bank as well by sorting your money in there you can buy things directly using the money stored there’s no need to take it out saving

Your money in there also prevents you from losing too much when you die which is extra significant in expert mode an important thing to do as a mage is to collect fallen stars some might fall near your house at night which allows you to collect some safely

I’m going to craft the amethyst staff which will be our first magic weapon if you found other gems feel free to make those gem stops as well there are a few fallen stars outside which i want to get with our new magic weapon we should be able to fend off the zombies

It’s much better than a sword Oh my gosh the npc’s let them in from the other side well this is it darn npcs are so gonna die later on well anyway at least we got the stars three fallen stars can be crafted into a mana star which boosts your mana by 20. as a mage

This is really important so focus on maxing out your mana at 200 asap since we’ve got our weapon it’s relatively safer to explore and find more stars now hello bunny you wanna see how strong i am now haha i’m that strong i’ve also set up a

House in the jungle for more npcs and for the pylon in the future there we go ah the demolitionist is here let’s get this show on the road buy some bombs from him the amount you need varies but i think 40 is a good number to start

Here we are in the corruption i’ve managed to craft the gem hook as well which is pretty important for mobility we can handle the enemies a little better now so let’s just go right in even though we’re strong enough to defeat the enemies i still recommend blocking off openings so that we can

Mine in peace there right when i said it anyway we can’t mine ebonstone yet which is why the bombs will help us navigate the area what we want is a valve thorne a really strong pre-hard mode magic weapon with that we can beat almost any enemy

And can easily defeat the eso worlds as well this is obtained from the shadow orbs which are found scattered throughout the corruption breaking them has a 20 chance to give you a vow thorn so it shouldn’t be too hard to get one just use your bombs to make your way to

Them and destroy them so we got a musket unfortunate we still have plenty of orbs so let’s make our way to the others this is where the scarab bomb comes in these bombs blow up a long path c this allows us to make our way to the other bombs without wasting too many

They go in the direction between you and the bomb so if i stand up here the path goes downwards by the way after every third orb the eso of worlds will spawn just simply use a recall portion to escape our second orb gave us a shadow orb

Well this is a light pad so oh well our third one another shadow orb really well the boss is summoned we have basically zero chance against it with our staff so let’s leave alright so our fourth one another shadow orb really this is really giving me maze flashbacks from our summoner series

So hopefully by now you have your vow thorn which makes you decently strong our fifth a band of star power well that’s not so bad it’s a mage accessory that boosts your mana so it’s still alright well that was horrible three shadow orbs and no vowel thorn

Well this guide isn’t going so well rngesus has chosen not to bless me today we can still get a vowel thorn but i think i’ve had enough of that for now i still want to achieve something though so let’s go for our jungle armor well i’m going to try my luck for

Thunderzapper but i’m not very hopeful this is a dangerous place full of larvae worms and cactuses i don’t recommend doing this but if you must just be extra careful well that’s unfortunate all i managed to find was a magic conch anyway well off to the jungle the first set of

Armor we should get as a mage would be the jungle armor which boosts your maximum mana and magic crit rate it’s a solid set that isn’t too difficult to get i recommend doing this after you get a valve on because it makes it so much easier to defeat the enemies

But i’ll just get it with the gem style first we will need two vines dropped by the man-eaters these aren’t too difficult we will also need 32 jungle spores which are these glowing things 32 isn’t that much since you get a few per spool lastly we need 10 stingers which are the main

Problem here hornets have such erratic movement and they shoot stingers at you which deal a great amount of damage just do what you can to be careful and eventually you can take them down i really recommend getting a vowel thorne before the jungle armor but if you’re as unlucky as i am i’ll

Show you how to find more shadow orbs in the next episode well there we go finally done that really took a while but with all the components gathered let’s craft our jungle armor this set also gives you a huge defense boost compared to wooden armor

So do get one asap it makes us so much more prepared for exploration and the upcoming boss fights we didn’t really do much other than go through our game plan and the technique to get an early valvethorn which is probably the most important part of today’s video

Next episode i’ll get the vowel thorn and show you how to take down the e12 world that will unlock the meteor set which makes you strong enough for the rest of pre-heart mode if you’re in a crimson bowl i might cover how to deal with the brain as well
