Notes

Sand Shark Fins.png
The different colors of Shark Fins dropped by Sand Sharks.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Similarly to Gel, Shark Fins dropped by Sand Sharks will have special coloration. The first Shark Fin in a stack determines the color of the rest.
    • If two differently colored stacks of Shark Fins are combined, the new stack takes on the color of the stack put onto the other, no matter the stack size.
    • Shark Fins will always appear as the default color on Item Frames. However, hovering over the Item Frame shows an unobtainable white-colored Shark Fin.
    • The Quick stack animation always shows the default colored Shark Fin.
    • Shark Fin color will return to the default color if the player drops or places it on an Item Frame and picks it back up or exits a world and rejoins.

Tips

  • Sharks themselves can be frustratingly rare in the Oceans, so various alternatives can be taken to acquire Shark Fins:
    • Hunting the Ocean during a Blood Moon will find a good deal more Sharks, as well as the enemies producing some scarce dyes. A Gills Potion (or in Hardmode, a Neptune's Shell or upgrade) will help, or the player can build a breathing area underwater.
    • In Hardmode, it might be easier to obtain Shark Fins from Sand Sharks as they spawn in the surface layer of the desert during a Sandstorm.
    • Shark Fins can also be obtained from Shark Statues.
    • As with all mob farms, the player can use the Water Candle and Battle Potion to increase spawn rate.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Stack limit increased from 99 to 9999.
    • Reduced the drop rate for Sharks from a 98% chance to a 95% chance.
