How to craft the early-game whips quickly
These are the whips you can make before Hardmode, and they’re the fastest to knock out early if you gather materials while exploring.
Step 1: Craft Cobwhip at a Loom
Gather 10 Wood from trees and 30 Cobweb from underground caves and spider areas, then craft the Cobwhip at a Loom.
Step 2: Unlock the Solidifier and craft the Slime Whip
Defeat King Slime to obtain the Solidifier. Then craft the Slime Whip using 50 Gel at the Solidifier.
Step 3: Craft the world-evil whip for your world
If your world has Corruption, craft Soulscourge with 12 Demonite Bars at an Iron/Lead Anvil.
If your world has Crimson, craft Vasculash with 12 Crimtane Bars at an Iron/Lead Anvil.
Step 4: Craft Starcrash after getting Meteorite materials
Collect Meteorite Bars, Chains, and Fallen Stars, then craft Starcrash at an Iron/Lead Anvil using 20 Meteorite Bars, 10 Chain, and 10 Fallen Stars.
How to farm the Hardmode boss-drop whips
Once you hit Hardmode, the remaining drops come from specific bosses, so you’ll want to plan your fights to avoid unnecessary grind.
Step 5: Get Vulgar Display of Flower from Plantera
Defeat Plantera and keep farming her until Vulgar Display of Flower drops.
Step 6: Get Electric Eel from Duke Fishron
Defeat Duke Fishron and repeat the fight until Electric Eel drops.
Step 7: Get Possession from Moon Lord
Defeat Moon Lord and continue farming him until you get the Possession whip.
How to craft the endgame whip Constellation
Constellation is your crafted endgame option, and it’s made from Stardust Fragments at the Ancient Manipulator.
Step 8: Craft Constellation at the Ancient Manipulator
Collect 18 Stardust Fragments, then craft Constellation at the Ancient Manipulator.
Locations
You’ll mainly rotate between underground caves (Cobweb), your base crafting area (Loom, Anvil, Solidifier), a Meteorite crash site (Meteorite Bars), the Underground Jungle for Plantera progression, the Ocean for Duke Fishron, and endgame Lunar events leading into Moon Lord and Stardust Fragments.
