Enchanted Moondial

The Enchanted Moondial definitely requires something in order to be made from the Sundial, but I cannot tell exactly what as of yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nimta (talk • contribs) at 08:03, September 29, 2022 (UTC)

Happened to me until I made the puddle deeper. DioJoestar (talk) 00:19, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Anyone else noticed this?

I was doing some testing, and apparently, werewolves go entirely invisible when they enter the Shimmer. Has anyone else seen this? If so, is it just Werewolves?

What about things not in the list?

So, I had an idea for a minigame using the Shimmer, but I'm curious. What happens when dirt enters it?— Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGAMER117 (talk • contribs) at 20:53, October 1, 2022 (UTC)

Nothing, It sinks to the bottom and stay’s there. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 08:09, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Teleporting when shimmering for a long time?

I've noticed that, when shimmering for a long time, after pressing a directional button I was teleported to spawn. Looks like this is worthy of investigating.

I've added the unstuck mechanic to Shimmering section. BadPiggy1024 (talk) 08:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Gold Worms transforming into Faelings

I'm pretty sure gold worms only turn into a gummy worm if they are thrown into shimmer in item form, whereas a gold worm critter will transform into a faeling just like any other critter would.
Confused me a bit when I left clicked a gold worm into shimmer and it just came out as a faeling. Ramppa (talk) 15:58, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Critters should transform into the same thing wether they are dropped in Shimmer as NPCs or as items. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 01:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

After testing in game Gold Worm critters actually do turn into Faelings. Honestly this seems like an oversight from devs but the table has been updated to reflect the transmutation. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 03:35, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

lava charm and magma stone got mixed up

im not sure how to fix it but the magma stone shimmers into the lava charm but the first chart says the lava charm turns into the magma stone which is incorrect Yusuf Amin

In 1.4.4.6 they made it so you can turn a Lava Charm into a Magma Stone. The change was automatically added to the bottom of the Item Transmutations table but has now been sorted in properly. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 01:17, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Condensing Ambrosia and Aether Torch Transmutations

I don’t know if it’s possible but if someone could replace all the different inputs for Ambrosia(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Aether Torches(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) with Any Fruit(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Any Torch respectively that would be great. It would condense things visually and would redirect to the Alternative crafting ingredients where the full list could be viewed. DaggariDagger (talk) 16:44, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Adding a Section for Decrafting Exceptions

Their is some info in the notes about items that can’t be decrafted or don’t transform into their exact materials but it’s out of date and buried in the notes. A new section with a table of all the exceptions would be a lot more informative. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 14:27, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

So

I just found out that throwing bamboo into shimmer turns it into large bamboo

That is because bamboo is crafted into large bamboo and large bamboo is crafted with bamboo, so the shimmer uncrafts the bamboo into large bamboo and vise versa Cytra (talk) 23:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Tips about relocating/accessing shimmer easily

The tip about using teleporters to reach the Aether seems a bit odd to me. That would require the player to wait until Skeletron has been defeated, but another option would be to simply build a few houses at the Aether as soon as you find it, and as long as you have enough NPCs (and can make them happy underground), you can set up a Pylon there. No need to defeat Skeletron beforehand. This also has the added benefit of reducing enemy spawns. (And providing a lot of gems from gem critters that will walk into the pool...) I'm not really sure how best to reword this tip though. And I wonder if it would make more sense to list this on the page for the Aether instead of Shimmer? It definitely makes sense to talk about when moving the shimmer becomes possible here, but if we're getting into ways to conveniently access the minibiome, maybe it should go on that page? The tip on this page could be something like "However, there are other methods of quickly accessing the Aether biome (e.g., teleporters and pylons), which are available before or at the same time as pumps and may be more convenient than relocating shimmer."

Remove Vile and from Decrafting Exceptions

Vile and Vicious Powder already have Special Item Transmutation (they transmute into Purification Powder) and shouldn’t be included in the table of items that are crafted at a Placed Bottle/Alchemy Table. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 02:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Lesser Healing Potion, Restoration Potion, Healing Potion, Greater Healing Potion, Super Healing Potion, Mana Potion, and Super Mana Potion should also be removed since they are non-decraftable. Russ Guss Doodles (talk) 05:16, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't think about that when I added the table! --Rye Greenwood (talk) 23:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
