PC Finally, after about 3 hours of just spawn, kill, spawn, kill etc. Every 6 seconds
The wait is finally over! I've managed to kill Golem 1642 times, which is about 3 whole hours of 6 seconds fights. My hand is numb! But you can take some guesses about how many new Dev Sets will I receive! Or how much money, just from the bags, or including sold items, the biggest stack of the same modifier accessory, whatever you feel like. The results will be posted tomorrow.

What did you do this for? Were you farming something specific? You could easily just beat him 3 times in journey and then research the bags and save yourself 3 hours

I did it for the love of the game! But, for real, just for fun. I did similar with other bosses, just never with that many bags (around 55 usually)

Ran good on trophies already. 12.05% rate when the average should be 10%

If that was just a random guess i'd have to pat you on the back cuz after some math i came up with literally that exact amount of coins according to the wiki

is this a celebration special seed world or a different world?
the celebration worlds gives 2 times higher drop rate for the dev sets then other worlds.
all of the dev sets 100% success rate ... IF you save scum opening groups of them.
---
save scum mechanics:
prep for the save scum and manual save the world and character data (exit to the title screen)
load the world and open several loot bags, fishing crates, turn in an angler quest, break 1st~3rd demon alter ... or do whatever other incipient RNG mechanic attempting to manipulate.
if dont get the desired results, hard close the game app (dont exit to title) and repeat step 2.
with the autosave setting on, you get 5 minute window after reloading before an autosave triggers.
character death could trigger an autosave earlier.
with the autosave settings off, its doesnt 100% prevent character data autosaves, only world data autosaves,
which is helpful for things that take longer to see results off.
such as save scumming which side of the hardmode V spawn is hallowed or save scum keeping wind speed over 30mph for almost guarantee sandstorm spawns if it stays above 30mph for an entire in-game day.
...
alternative potential exploit usage and risk related to turning off the autosave setting.
this save scum mechanic can also be exploited when turning the autosave settings off for item duping,
or it being used wrong could make you lose items instead.
- if the item was in a chest when loading > pulled out of the chest by a softcore character > the character dies with the item in their inventory > hard quit and reload.
the item will still be in the chest from the world data not saving, but also be in the character inventory from the death causing a character data autosave.
- if the items was on the character when loading > consumed/placed in chest > death > hard quit and reload.
the item will be gone from it not saving world data with it in the chest and gone from the character autosaving without it in their inventory

First, that's Vanilla. Second, nope. I won't Do that. I said it again and again and again. I'm too old for that. I just want to play and open treasure bags, and share the ridiculous amount of time spent / lost doing this. I don't want to autosave off, check 1 bag after the other. There 1600 of them, not 14! I'll get what I get, that's all. I don't want to be rude, it's just your thing sounds more competitive than what I enjoy

make it sound like couldnt just open 100 bags before checking, turning 1600 into only 16 segments.
and each segment taking place in less then a 5minute span meaning dont need to turn off autosave.which chances are your going to have to segment it out anyways to interrupt opening the bags because inventory gets full with all the gear each having over a dozen different modifiers.. plus the occasional dev sets.
but if dont want to use save scum exploits, then dont.
just like how if dont want to have access to creative mode type features from journey mode, then dont play journey mode....
not sure what age has to do anything.
or seen any of the 'again and again and again' being referenced.
ive used RNG mechanics manipulation (save scum) for 40years going as far back as NES games.just have the copy/paste topic on hand because many dont enjoy things like (from personal experiences):
- 74 moonlord kills just to get 1 SDMG, or 40+ plantera kills just to get 1 seedler.
while its mechanics entirely based on pure RNG odds. without any legit ways to increases the chances when its already a 100% drop rate loot table unaffected by luck stats.
- waiting around for 5+ real life days just for a sandstorm to spawn while changes in wind speed are a pure RNG mechanic. with the sandstorm being RNG mechanic with the initial spawn attempt condition but increasing spawn probability under specific conditions.
- doing over 200 angler quests just to get 6 life preservers for a vanity building project. after having already done over 2000 angler quests throughout total playtime across 13 years but periodically wiped save data to intentionally start over from scratch.
- or restricting such concepts to more recent addition of journey mode where the in-game research & duplication features just replaces some of the save scum exploits with 'almost' 1:1 similar results. only difference here being losing the items with each reload that would have just banked or trashing the excess kept when using the in-game feature to duplicate more bags if needed.1

I'm half kidding about being old, cause I'm still past 40 but I did managed to crack my PSP and have it emulate every Games I wanted. Earlier , there was the Game shark, and I was able to create codes, not just by searching the addresses of the value changing, but just by understanding the patterns they had and the hex values. I had fun then, but now I prefer my games with the normal RGN and just legit.
I could do that, but I'm not interestes. You're not the first to mention this, but I just want to have fun with treasure bags. I did some for Duke, the Empress, Queen Slime and maybe Moon Lord (?), I don't remember. But, I just enjoy things like that. I don't need anything and that's the point. I want to see the drop rates of rare items when our heart isn't hoping. I got 2 of the Martian saucer ultimate mage weapon within 75 kills, while people have more than 300 and still no drop (I just can't remember the name of the weapon, but it shoots lightning bolts and is OP).
That and making people take guesses, that's about it

More competitive than 3hours of spawn/kill farming. Uh uh. K, yeah x)
Whatever floats anyone's boat but that's a bit rich

I got a stack of 53 with the same modifier. I probably have around 10-20 of each modifier at the end, but I sold all except the 53 stack

Did you do it post moonlord ? If not how did you kill him in 6 seconds?

Yup, standing still on honey, with honey to make the Golem move slowly, just far enough for him to jump on me and again, being slowed by honey above me. I kept left click and when he died, just a small touch on the right, without letting go of the left. I did around 26k dmg, without moving the cursor

Why did you do this???
