Terraria Map
Published · measured on Terraria 1.4.5.8 worlds
Starting a fresh character in Terraria often leaves players vulnerable to aggressive nighttime zombies and demon eyes until adequate weaponry is found. While crafted wooden swords lack reach and knockback, surface Wooden Chests frequently yield the Mace, a versatile starter flail that can be swung continuously or launched forward to keep swarming monsters at bay. Combining a discovered Mace with basic torches at a workbench produces the Flaming Mace, adding persistent illumination and fire damage to your arsenal.
These four Small seeds feature easily accessible surface Wooden Chests located moments from spawn. Check the surface terrain profiles on the interactive map to plot your initial sprinting route.
