I have a fair number of herbs and flowers saved up from my travels. What&#8217;s more, I have some seeds. The list of potential potions in the <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.terrariaonline.com\/Potions\">wiki<\/a>is enormous. If Sir Digsalot is going to have enough herbs to continue to make potions, he&#8217;ll need to work on his green thumb. So after turning clay blocks into pots and building a little ramshackle greenhouse, I&#8217;ve got a little herb garden going. I even put a glass roof on the house, just for kicks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the jump: welcome to the jungle<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Glowing mushrooms won&#8217;t grow just in any old pot, though. They need to grow beneath the surface layer (where the background first changes). You build a little platform of mud, sprinkle your mushroom grass seeds on, and wait. The grass slowly spreads, so my little mushroom farm here will take a few hours to really get going.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"7688\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/mushroom-farm.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/mushroom-farm.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mushroom farm\" width=\"580\" height=\"389\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7691\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, all I have to do is take some bottles to a pool of water to make bottled water, and haul all my ingredients back to the potion table. Look at all the wonderful drinks I can make. I&#8217;m a regular Tom Cruise in Cocktail, only not awful. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"7688\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/potions.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/potions.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"potions\" width=\"416\" height=\"329\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7692\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next steps forward involve going either further underground &#8211; to where there&#8217;s lava &#8211; or to the underground jungle. Sir Digsalot is, dare I say it, tired of digging, so I&#8217;ll do the latter. The underground jungle used to be hard to find in older versions of Terraria, but now the new surface-level jungle biome is supposed to give you a good idea of where to dig. Sometimes, the underground jungle caves extend all the way to the surface. So I start running to the right.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, the travel is kind of tedious, but it&#8217;s a good way to stock up on mushrooms, gel, and certain kinds of herbs that grow on the surface. Before I know it, I&#8217;m in the jungle.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"7688\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/jungle.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/jungle.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"jungle\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7693\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first gap in the ground I run into, I jump down. God, that lucky horseshoe is awesome. Sure enough, the gap leads to a cave that keeps going down, and down, and down, until I&#8217;m fighting off giant hornets in the underground jungle. The swarms of hornets aren&#8217;t too difficult, and the stingers they drop are valuable crafting materials. What you have to look out for, are the Man Eaters. They can only stretch so far, so you&#8217;re safe if you keep your distance, but they do a lot of damage. At this stage, they&#8217;ll tear me up in no time. And wouldn&#8217;t you know it, I forgot to bring along my temporary spawn point kit. Still, you want to murder those Man Eaters, because they sometimes drop vines, and vines are used in a couple of really nice crafting recipes.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fancybox\" rel=\"7688\" href=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/man-eater.jpg\"<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.quartertothree.com\/fp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/man-eater.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"man eater\" width=\"555\" height=\"368\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7694\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s this?

No committing suicide, or quitting and restarting the game, to avoid a really long walk back home. In fact, my inventory is pretty packed.
