Meteor Shower

  

Desktop/Console/Mobile-Only Content: This information applies only to the Desktop, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.

The Meteor Shower is an event that has a 1/10 (10%) chance to occur every night. During the event, Fallen Star rates are increased by 200–400% and falling stars appear in the background. If there are few clouds in the sky (such as during a Lantern Night), Enchanted Nightcrawlers can spawn on the surface during a Meteor Shower.

Characters

When there is a clear sky:

• Enchanted Nightcrawler(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)

Notes

• The chance for a Meteor Shower to occur each night is increased to 1/5 (20%) in a Celebrationmk10 world.
• Meteor Showers are not the only cause that increases the rate at which Fallen Stars spawn; Fallen Star rates also have a 1/3 (33.33%) chance (1/2 (50%) in a Celebrationmk10 world) to be increased every night between 0% and 50%. However, this slightly increased Fallen Star rate does not fulfill the requirements for spawning Enchanted Nightcrawlers.

Tips

• The frequency of Enchanted Nightcrawlers spawning on the surface makes this event useful for obtaining bait for fishing.

Trivia

• A meteor shower in real life is a celestial phenomenon in which a large number of meteors (known colloquially as shooting stars or falling stars) are observed to radiate from a certain area in the night sky.
• Despite the name, it has nothing to do with the creation of Meteorite biomes or any of the Meteorite items in the game, and instead only seems to increase the rate at which Fallen Stars can spawn and enable the spawning of Enchanted Nightcrawlers.
