Terraria Crafting Recipes Guide

In Terraria, from indie dev. Re-Logic, you're going to struggle... an awful lot. That is, unless you get your craft on. Who are we kidding, you're still going to have a heck of time bringing light to dark places.

Some items in Terraria are mundane or simple, requiring little effort to craft. Some others, however, are rare and epic, requiring special materials like Demonite, Meteorite, Shadow Scales, and Rotten Chunks.

Almost all items, potions, weapons, armor, tools, and equipment require access to a workbench, an alchemical station, a furnace, or an anvil to fashion, but there are a few that can be made with you hands alone to get you started.

The following Terraria Crafting Recipes Guide lists are extensive but not exhaustive. Try new combinations and be sure to let us know if you find something new, a mistake we might have made, or a better way of arriving at the same result.

Terraria can be a dark, dark world, so be crafty!
