Working on getting a Cell Phone now. Just need a Metal Detector and everything the Angler can reward and I'll have it.
funny. i must have gotten at least 5+ metal detectors, but none of the traveling trader stuff. and I've checked EVERY trader that came by... all had food and furniture, some blocks and a katana.
didn't even have the cool revolver...
also i've been fishing like made lately, got a few neat things out of it, bombfish, tsunami in a bottle, etc.
but if you have started hardmode and still don't have full max-tier armor and tools and whatnot, make some crate potions, get the best rod you can, make a fake lake of 300+ water blocks and start fishing for crates. in hardmode those give hardmode ores and ingots, which while an in effective way, is a safe way of getting the metals.
Takes too long for me, and I prefer to get shit alongside the ore.
In my hunt for a Lost Girl (more like Hide and Seek Girl), I've gathered more than enough Palladium to make three separate sets of armor, enough Mythril for one as well, about 20 of those Ice Biome yoyos, 17 Mimics and their various drops, 2 Icy Turtle Shells (one of which is Warding), at least 4 Medusa Heads, and many, many more things alongside.
And it turns out that the Meteor Staff is VERY good at finding caves. At least, ones above you. Meteor projectiles produce a ton of light and voila, easy pathfinding tool seeing as it's almost entirely useless as an underground weapon.
