Does a Larger World Mean More Loot in Terraria?

-

Hey everyone! I’m relatively new to Terraria and was wondering if larger worlds actually have more loot and chests compared to medium-sized ones. I’m not expecting the loot to be better, just a greater amount overall. Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks!

I always go for large worlds! Sure, the playthrough might take a bit longer, but the increased loot makes it worth it. Just make sure you’re okay with the bigger size; it really pays off in the loot department!

More loot is great and all, but is the extra loot worth it for smaller gaming sessions? I’ve found that even small worlds have plenty of resources and chests for a decent playthrough!

Absolutely, larger worlds tend to generate more loot overall! But just a heads-up, if you’re planning to venture alone in a big world, be ready for some serious traveling. It can take a while to get from one place to another.

Yes, larger worlds do produce more of pretty much everything, though I think the density of loot stays pretty similar. There were discussions ages ago about loot density decreasing on bigger worlds, but from what I’ve seen, that hasn’t held true. So yeah, expect more loot filling the larger space!

That’s good to know! I’ve always thought smaller worlds would be easier to handle. But in a big world, I guess it depends on how much you plan to play!
