Legacy:North Pole

 

This is the Legacy page whose information relates to the article North Pole.
It applies only to the Old-gen console and 3DS versions of Terraria, detailing their differences from modern versions.

On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, the North Pole creates more snowflake projectiles, but they deal lower damage and inflict less knockback.

Notes

• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The icy spear projectile deals 80% of the weapon's damage (58 base damage) and 85% of its knockback (5.695 (Average) base knockback).^[1] The snowflake projectiles deal 64% of the weapon's damage (46 base damage) and 46.75% of its knockback (3.132 (Weak) base knockback).^[2]
• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Holding the North Pole will reduce melee speed boosts by half.
• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) There can only be 187 snowflakes on the screen at any given time. After reaching this cap, spear projectiles cannot produce any more until some snowflakes begin dissipating.^[3]
  • Additionally, every snowflake after 100 will spawn with 1% less damage. This can make them deal extremely low damage if the spear projectiles are launched high into the air. For example, while the 100th snowflake will still deal 64% damage (46 base damage) as normal, the 150th snowflake will only deal 32% damage (23 base damage), and the 187th snowflake, the last possible one, will only deal 8.32% damage (6 base damage).
• (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The snowflakes are affected by the direction of the wind, so the player should adjust the aim to compensate.
