Guide talk:Crafting an Ankh Shield

First, it is entirely posssible to get this item pre-Plantera, though this guide makes it sound like it isn't. In the case of a pre-Plantera world, the Dungeon can be grinded during Hardmode without creating a new world. Also, for grinding the Nazar, I recommend minions, as they're extremely effective, and a full set of Spider Armor is enough to resist any enemies with the help of a campfire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leopardheart982 (talk • contribs) at 10:28:20 Jun 18 2014

Is it possible to get pre-plantera? I'd thought that armor polish was only dropped from hardmode dungeon enemies, and the hardmode dungeon isn't activated until Plantera is slain. --Xolroc (talk) 18:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Killed a bunch of Pixies, definately over 100 of them, but still none of the drops? Are they absolutely 1%? Serpentlord123 (talk) 23:08, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Percentages are not guarantees; they're simply a roll of the dice for each kill. At 1%, if you kill 100, you have only a 50/50 chance of seeing one drop. 71.23.61.96 18:29, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Ankh Sheild

Dear Administrators, I am having a hard time getting the vitamins. All I need is the Floaty Gross spawn rate higher or a different crimson/ corruption enemy can drop the vitamins. Enemies I think would be the Herpling and the Eater of souls. If you can help me on this subject I would be very grateful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.155.96 at 16:12, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

My research has given me the info that Corruptor's give the best of the 2 mobs that drop it. Ive not experienced it myself but all the let's-plays I have seen seem to show it drops a bit more from them. DragoHanter (talk) 21:17, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

The most important note I should make here is that the sysops and editors at this wiki are not the game developers, and the devs in fact don't read this wiki, so bugs are not listed or reported here. It's meant to be an encyclopedia about the game- they don't need to look up information they created. For issues like these, you'll have to address the tech support forums- based on the nature of this problem you'll be needing the mobile version's support forums.

That said, the low-to-nonexistent spawn rate of several enemy types, including Corruptors and Floaty Grosses, is a known bug that 505 has yet to address. While reporting it would be redundant, many people on the forums have developed countermeasures. You'll likely be able to get someone to give you some extra Vitamins there. The forums' range of solutions for player-specific issues like these is much broader, so asking there should get you better results. Gearzein (talk) 21:29, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
