Huh... I just bought it!

Since my brother was feeling generous (and it was the indie game sale) he bought me Terraria for £1.49. I have no bloody idea what I'm meant to be doing. All I remember from when I looked through the wiki whilst watching an LP was that the Gun Dealer sells Illegal Gun Parts at night. Can anyone give me any tips on what to do on Terraria?

Get lots of wood. Build a crafting table. Make some wood walls and Build a House at Spawn. Build a Wood sword and Once it becomes 2nd day go mining

Ok... I've already done that. I picked up a strong spear in a chest.

I want to get back into terraria but i get bored easily with this game! :s

PvP always works.
Go mine shut loads of ores first.

I've progressed a bit. I have a little house and a bronze helmet. I lost the spear, though.

create several worlds, get shurikens and throwing knives on teh surfaces. Make an arenan in the corruption, then kill the eaterofworlds easily

I've done that a bit. I've got some bronze mail and a bunch of shuriken and throwing knives. I want a boomerang.
I also have a gargoyle statue and heart statue. What are they for?
(Isn't Eye of Cthulhu the first boss?)

It's out on PS3 but I'am $5 short

It's copper god damnit.
So I have a friend on the server 2Dforts, he's friend of AaronC, aka the new spriter.So he drops spoilers like dragons slime confirmed, adamantite bricks(YUSSSSSSS!!!!!) Neon bullets (bad idea since neon color aren't going to fit, but still not confirmed).
His name is Moro.

dont die is my advice

LOL. I mixed up bronze and copper.

common mistake my good lad

Gargoyle statues are just for decoration and a heart statue, when connected with a wire and something to activate the wire, will spawn a heart restoring 20 HP. It will spawn as many times as the switch is activated. I would recommend getting lens and defeating the eye of cthulu and craft better weapons from the demonite ore. Then kill the eater of worlds, crafting shadow armor and a nightmare pick axe from the demonite ore and shadow scale it drops. A nightmare pick axe should be your first priority from killing the EoW.
