The Ultimate Terraria Shaft Digging Guide

When digging in Terraria, have you been coming across a shit load of ANNOYING DEADLY WATER?? As much as water is useful for Obsidian and monster farming, among other things. When you want to just reach the underworld, water is a bit NO NO! So, that's why I'M here to help YOU become a SUPER SHAFT MAKING MASTER!! You'll be digging your way to the underworld in no time at all! Without further ado, let's get started!

The (very) Basic Layout


In order for this guide to be of use, it's recommended that you...

  • Know how to make a bed
  • Have ALOT of free time
  • Not to mention, willpower too
  • Misc Fact: This method is proven to increase digging moral but up to 270%!


Step 1: The Tools
You will need the following in your inventory or equipped....


  • Pickaxe
  • A Desert (approximately 500 - 1,000 Sand)
  • Depth Meter
  • Magic Mirror
  • Lucky Horseshoe
  • Obsidian Skull

Step 2: Digging, digging... and more digging
Trivial Question: Is Charlie Sheen good at DIGGING? Google it, please, I wanna know


  • From your Spawn Point, find a suitable, unused, useless patch of terrain of 4 blocks wide
  • Begin digging your shaft on a 2 block width, then keep digging down until you're about to reach a steep fall
  • For a 4 Block Width, plant the Sand until it connects to your shaft making a 4 Block Wide Tower that you can dign down without penetrating the sides

The trick here is that the Sand cancels out the Water while being able to make the fasted progress, using Dirt also works, but is MUCH more time consuming.
The Underworld is located at about 3,500 Blocks deep on large sized maps, this is commonly why shafts are used, so you can just jump on in and start farming.
Took me about half an hour the first time around, I've only did this once.



CONGRATULATIONS!
By now, you should be a Shaft Digging Expert!


This guide is in no way 100% practical and produced by extreme amounts of boredom

Space is depressing as hell.
Terraria is boring after about 10 hours when you can't progress anymore.

Pull a Scooter and put this on SBA too, and sticky it yourself.
