The first reaction to shimmer phasing was amazing.

[CommiesDontSurf]

Had Terraria since it's first release. Remember having to jump over a single block tile. Been one of my favorites games to play and relax, build and explore. Watching how far this game has come has been awesome, and makes me feel old. :)

[eryscalamitas]

Omg I love how you used the ash fences as chains to hold the vial of shimmer in the intro that is so creative

[RubyEsq]

Love these videos K! Just a small correction — there’s *two* items that can’t be “crafted” using shimmer until post-ML. One makes you teleport, the other cleans up corruption/crimson.

[hayesgerder]

I think ReLogic should add an NPC, perhaps Post-Moonlord, that can tell you what happens to an item when thrown into the shimmer, like the Guide does with crafting materials

[WandofSparking]

Finally someone else connects it to A Link to the Past, that's the first thing I thought of!

[Joandersonso]

About NPC transmutation. Instead of depending on statue RNG, you can build a house flooded in shimmer and asign the NPC to that house yourself. This method is quicker when it's raining or at night time

[erikfassett]

One interesting quirk with item dismantling: For potions, it doesn't actually return all of the items. To account for the alchemy table, items seem to have about a 75% chance of being returned (Not sure if that number is what's actually used, but on average your return from the alchemy table is 4/3rds so multiplying that by 3/4ths would bring you back to 1). Standard health and mana potions can't be dismantled at all in shimmer too.

I'm loving the huge influx of Terraria videos by all the content creators. I have played only a single world on my phone for over 300 hrs on just Normal mode. I was quite afraid of pushing into harder difficulties because of the fear of grinding. However, now with these QoL changes, I'm really excited to try out the harder difficulties!

QoL stuff like the shimmer is such a great thing to have!

[Muniaczek]

Worth the wait for your video :) by the lenght I can tell you put so much efford in it. Proud of you! Doing great as always my dude ♡

[thatsgottahurt]

Im really glad I played several hours of 1.4.4 before watching any videos - it was such a treat after playing for 10 years and seeing this new biome for the very first time unspoiled - WOW!! Labor of Love was the perfect name for this update. You can tell a lot of love went into making this game was it is - as well as all the love from the community and mods. Terraria is easily in my top 3 all time favorite games every played and I doubt it will drop lower than that anytime soon.

Hey Khaios, I have had a LOT of trouble finding this cave, I have 3 angel statues for some reason and I can't describe how much this helped, also there is a new axe that can be made with copper/tin axe staff of regrowth, vines make the axe of regrowth, this plants acorns after breaking trees. Anyway, have a great day

[chicomanara]

I was deading the lava charm farm already, I forgot about this recipe. The ahnk charm is way easier to get too, as you can change spare acessories to get their counterpart. This even works pre hardmode.

[madengineerkyouma]

I've been so distracted by what the shimmer does that I'm just now realizing how good it can look in a build.

[dylanium]

Immunity items become their corresponding item when thrown in shimmer (bezoar becomes adhesive bandage), making the Ankh shield so much easier to obtain

[DJBlackNGold]

The Ancient Bricks actually made me squeal. Copper, Silver, Gold, Dungeon, Hellstone, Obsidian, Cobalt, Mythril all become their old 1.1 brick versions! I kinda hated the new cobalt so this is a super welcome change!

[timmyreobed]

The Aether is definitely where my cave pylon is gonna go.

[Liam-fxir]

Between the faeling thing, ores degrading when you throw them in, and the player going insubstantial, the shimmer seems very destructive.
It reminds me of the movie Annihilation- it’s strangely beautiful but also incredibly dangerous.

Always thought your character’s drip in terraria was fire. You inspired my main vanity style so ty for giving me a good sense of vanity in Terraria.
