Ocean Resources
The oceans are rather calm at day, but when it rains/thunders and or is night, you better "hold onto your butts" because you'll never want to venture through it again

Now at the moment, the ocean is still an "in progress" biome with more things being added to it

Now.... the Sea Serpent is a fast sea creature in the ocean that can devour boats and you in second, but if you have the biggest boat and full wind, you'll be faster.

The Serpent only drops
  • Serpent Scales
  • Serpent Trophy
  • Serpent Meat
    In which you can make a shield out of the scales, and make serpent stew out of the meat!

    Next is the Leviathan which can be found throughout the ocean at any time, and make sure to bring a pickaxe with you, because you can mine chitin off his back... BUT be careful because at a certain point he will sink back down under

    His Chitin can make
  • Abyssal Harpoon
  • Abyssal Knife
    The knife is technically a tier 3, so if you have higher than that, don't bother...

Merchants always appear in Black forests; one per world.
Deer Trophies can make Stagbreaker which is amazing vs Blobs and skeletons!
Leviathans are *finite* when they submerge they are considered dead and will not respawn.
