Beginners guide to Pre-hardmode
Hello, and welcome to the beginner's guide to terraria. This webpage will show you some of the best ways to start any Terraria playthrough. Each link will tell you how to progress through said part of the game. They will showcase one of the four classes' best starts. Those four classes include Melee, Ranger, Mage, and Summoner. Each has different weapons, armor, accessories, and fighting styles. They are all rather balanced, and not one is significantly stronger or weaker than the other. However, I would suggest that beginners choose Ranger or Melee as they are simpler and easier to play than the other 2 classes. But the focus of this webpage is on the Melee class, however, the other classes can still follow a large amount of this tutorial as it isnt until hardmode where the classes begin to seperate drastically.
Each class plays exactly as it sounds, Melee has high defense, and high damage, but an extremely small range. Ranger, has a good defense, okay damage, and extremely long range. Mage has good defense good damage, and very good range. Summoner has a very small defense, okay damage, and amazing range. Before you choose your class, you will have to create your world. You can choose between the Corruption or the Crimson. Both of which are the "Evil Biomes", you could also put it on random but I would suggest the Corruption for reasons I will explain later. Lastly, you can choose the difficulty of your world. There are 4, Journey, Classic, Expert, and Master mode. Journey mode is equal to the creative mode of Minecraft. Classic would be easy/normal mode, but I wouldn't suggest playing on it if you're new. Expert mode could be seen as the hard mode, however, on the expert mode, you get extra accessories that help significantly with the difficulty. Master mode is only for those who are confident with the game, however, new players can beat it. If you're feeling confident then you can choose it and earn trophies to decorate your world with. Now that you've chosen your class, evil biome, and difficulty, you can press on the Pre-Bosses hyperlink at the top of the page to get started with your playthrough.
