The best Terraria armor and accessories for hardmode

Looking for the best Terraria armor and loadout for each class? If you've just cleared out your first wave of Terraria bosses, you're in luck! You now get to do it all over again and defeat their mechanical counterparts in Terraria's hardmode. By now you're climbing through the ranks of resources, shedding your old gear for new shiny armor and accessories, but to take on the hardmode bosses, you'll need to take your loadout to the next level.

So what's the difference with hardmode? This is the point in the game where you can start to define your class, choosing either a summoning, ranged, magic, or melee build based on your prefered playstyle. Your class is defined by the equipment you choose, making your Terraria loadout one of the most important parts of progressing and building up a character capable of taking out the likes of Skeletron Prime, The Destroyer, and The Twins. You'll need to defeat all of these three mechanical bosses before taking on the deadly Plantera, but luckily you'll have the item drops from these bosses to upgrade your gear once again.

But, if you've just entered hardmode and are about to take on the three mechanical bosses and the optional Queen Slime, here are the best Terraria armor, accessories, and weapons for each four classes.

Terraria house designs: cool ideas for housing your Terraria NPCs

Looking for some cool Terraria house designs? Building a house is one of the first things you'll do in Terraria, and one of the most important steps towards survival. As Terraria operates on a day and night cycle, building a shelter for your first night in Terraria will keep you safe from any wandering foes. As you branch out from your starter shelter, trying your hand at more elaborate Terraria house designs can be a challenging part of one of the best crafting games on PC.

Building more Terraria houses is also very necessary, as they attract NPCs that provide useful skills such as selling items. NPCs will want their own area so as you build more houses, you'll soon have a bustling town full of working villagers. Building homes for all the NPCs to raise Terraria NPC happiness and attracting new ones will require a lot of resources, time, and effort - especially if you want to build individual houses for each NPC. We recommend building an all-in-one housing development to host your new townsfolk, these structures work like a block of flats, so each NPC has an apartment. This will save you a huge amount of time finding and accessing each vendor.

Of course, we want our town to look pretty and although our NPCs will be satisfied with a small space, these Terraria housing designs can give your town an edge that our little NPCs will be proud to call home.

Meeting the demands of your new pernickety residents comes with its perks, such as the ability to purchase pylons to scoot around the world quickly.
