Stats, effects & acquisition Reference coverage and sources
Sources are Official Terraria Wiki pages as identified in the input. Edition and platform labels are retained where shown; tables also contain unlabeled or mixed-version entries. Progression-guide loadouts reflect the supplied guide sections, including seed-specific context where stated. No patch or edition completeness is inferred.
Counts describe the imported source tables. They do not establish complete coverage of every patch, DLC or upgrade variant. Multiple values remain labeled as listed values when the source does not identify their upgrade levels.

Understand this choiceWeapon modifiers

Understand this choiceCommon mistakes to avoid
Treating classes as fixed roles
The guide says Terraria has no formal class or leveling system and notes players may switch classes or use off-class weapons; its equipment focus is guidance, not a locked class rule.
Assuming every accessory stacks or works in vanity
Duplicate accessories cannot be equipped, component effects do not necessarily combine when equipping an item with its material, and vanity slots provide no stat bonuses.
Applying every modifier to every weapon
Modifier eligibility depends on weapon type and its actual statistics. For example, only ranged weapons can have velocity modified and magic weapons mana cost modified; weapons lacking a statistic cannot receive modifiers that change it.
