Legacy:Crates
On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, using a Crate Potion will increase the chance of catching crates to 1 in 5. Fishing with a Fishing Power of 100 in a lake of at least 300 valid water tiles in any biome alongside using the Crate Potion multiplies these chances by 2.
Crates are also not placeable on these versions.
Tips
- On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, it can be beneficial to fish for crates during pre-Hardmode, save them for later, and then open them up in Hardmode, in order to get Hardmode ores without breaking any Altars. This has the added benefit of not spawning random Ebonstone/Crimstone or Pearlstone in the world, which is a side effect of breaking Altars.
