Why EVERYONE Should Be Playing Journey Mode in Terraria

  • Journey Mode was added in the Terraria 1.4 update, which has been out for some time now. Yet, journey mode in Terraria is criminally underrated for what it is, despite its many benefits like increased convenience and freedom. With the option to play expert, or even master mode on journey worlds, more people should be playing journey. I argue that a journey world is all you need, unless you're playing a hardcore challenge playthrough. Otherwise, everything you need or want to do can be done in journey worlds.

    As someone who's been playing on almost exclusively master for about 2 years now, the reason I avoid journey is because I can't trust myself to not use the tools to cheat. I know that might make me "weak willed" or whatever, and you could still cheat by using something like builders workshop, but its a lot easier to avoid temptation if I have to download a world and then navigate to a specific item than if I have the power to play god in 2 left clicks.

    I remember playing with a friend on Journey mode, pretty much as soon as 1.4 dropped, and our goal was to duplicate every single item without changing time/weather/spawn rates, and only with evil spread disabled and maxed out difficulty slider.
    We actually managed to get so close to completion, we got around 4970 items on the 5031 available at that time!
    Problem is that we lost our map due to a pc dying, so our motivation vanished with it, but it still was a super fun experience

      well, one of the strengths of terraria is the grinding of materials. However if you don't like to struggle to get something that's fine, I never manage to play in the Journey mode, it's too easy to try to duplicate materials and I would feel like a coward.

    I wholeheartedly agree, journey mode has so many advantages and lets you shape up the difficulty to your own liking! They only issue is that journey worlds are only accesible to journey mode players and the opposite. You might have cool older worlds that will only be available to play on with the "standard" difficulties. I do understand why that is but it's still worth remembering

    definitely going to try journey on my next world, considering the duplication comes after a certain amount of an item is obtained, that doesnt feel cheaty to me, it's not like you skipped progression ,you're just saving time. you could very easily play master mode and dupe for building materials.
    i really enjoy building in this game and not having to worry about storing all the paints, walls, tiles and furniture would be such a nice help. time and weather control also seems like a huge boon. i've already clocked 1.9k hours into this game so i think i'll finally tackle a large journey world where i focus on building while playing through progression in master mode.

    An underrated thing about journey duplication is how much storage it frees up. Instead of hoarding, you can just research. It’s also a way to trash items without completely wasting them.

    I almost exclusively play modded and do a fair bit of building, and Journey mode is a damn lifesaver for me. Not only is every feature you mentioned amplified with all the new stuff, but being able to duplicate certain modded materials (e.g: Blood Orbs, which don't drop nearly enough for the cost to make potions with them) can cut down on so many hours or grinding. My modded playthroughs already take 100+ hours to complete, so even a 5% reduced grind goes a long way.

    I have ADHD, and the hours and hours of tedious grinding that can happen in this game if you like going for rare items and good modifiers and whatnot really tend to kill the fun for me. So being able to dupe stuff like money and building materials to cut out some of the mindless farming and be able to get to the actual fun parts (building, boss fights, exploring, invasions/solar eclipses, etc.) has really reignited my love for this game honestly. I know I'll probably be immediately dismissed for admitting I dupe money, but Journey Mode can seriously save you a lot of mental energy if you also have ADHD and get extremely bored/stressed when you know you're gonna have to wait for potentially hours to get enough money to reforge your Razorblade Typhoon to Mythical.

    I’m glad I was recommended Journey Mode on Reddit. The only rules I set for myself is
    A. Duplicate ONLY for building since grinding for the stuff takes too much time
    B. The resources/blocks I get from Duplication are ONLY for construction and nothing more. All the spare wood, stones and stuff? NOT using it for crafting.
    C. The Fledgling Wings ONLY go on when I’m building my base.
    D. Once I can beat my first boss on Expert. I STAY on expert.
    And so on and so forth…

    This has finally inspired me to take on a challenge I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Truly 100% the game. I’m going to get 1 of every single item in terraria and put it into chests just because I can. Before, I didn’t want to do it because of stupid stuff like needing absurd amounts of things like 4 blades of grass (Zenith, True nights edge, nights edge and just having the blade of grass), or needing several worlds for things like Crimson, Corruption, or the different dungeon colours. But now I’m going to do it, and probably have at least 1k hours after it.

    I bought a Terraria copy for my little sister because she wanted to play terraria for making buildings and try a mounts mod, I though that if she wanted to enjoy that she may want to play journey mode as I though it was like minecraft's creative mode.
    Boy I was wrong, when I saw that you had to find the items for duplication and my sister not knowing a whole lot of the game mechanics made me jump on to help her understand the game. Fast forward I got into the game again and now she is playing Calamity mod with me.
    Definetly Journey mode is a mode that everyone who wants a chill out experience withouth leaving out some challenge should try it for once.

    Journey Mode it's dope, I like it mainly because the research tool, normally when I play Terraria (unless it's with a mod) I don't do too much building or avoid certain items because the materials are normally annoying to get. But in Journey Mode you can try building with rare blocks and use rarer items, it's really nice and it saves you time.
    *Also fun fact:* Master Mode Journey it's (statistically) harder than regular Master Mode, not in general exploration but if I'm not mistaken the boss stats get buffed from the Journey Mode difficult slider more than the normal Master Mode selection when you create a world.

    I'm kinda happy I made my second run Journey mode after my first expert clear. I used only the finch staff to make the start less tedious and to dupe enchanted nightcrawlers to make fishing less tedious, but everything else has just been a standard expert run of the don't dig up seed. I think I agree with the sentiment of "don't do this for your first run, but it's great for future playthroughs".

    Journey mode is the jack of all trades and master of all of them too.
    If you're looking for a more tougher master mode, journey mode has that covered too. Because of how the modes are scaled in journey mode, the master/expert mode bosses have more hp than playing classic master/expert.

    The time and weather constraints you mentioned actually add to the experience in my opinion. A great thing about terraria is that you've always got something to do, so when you're doing something unrelated and stumble across a natural blizzard or sandstorm, you drop what you were doing and start farming that event instead. If you manage to get what you were looking for, it's 100x more rewarding, because the game didn't spoon-feed you the event, you found it on your own and were able to exploit it.
    Also, fiddling with the time for a timed boss fight is no different than lowering the difficulty.

In Dragonquest builders 2, there also was a feature do duplicate things and that was not even in an easy mode. There you also had to finish certain things to get the ability to do that and for building this is a really nice thing, in my opinion.

    Honestly I never thought about Journey Mode in this way. I considered it similar to creative Mode in minecraft with the infinite resources, ability to toggle day/night cycles, enemy spawns,etc. But honestly (at least after watching this video), im glad to have a different outlook on it in terms of at least the Item Duplication requiring multiple of the item itself instead of everything being in your hands at that moment. It still gives you that feeling of progression since you still have to go out of your way to get 'x' rare item to duplicate it. Outside of maybe potions, there isn't too much of a drawback of having infinite of an item at least in this game. Tools don't break, hunger isn't really an issue (unless you play on the respective seed) and blocks are mostly for building.
    Genuinely I do appreciate the ability to just have an endless amount of blocks for big building projects (Enemy Farm, Fishing Area,etc. Since I dont like the fact that even though there is a metric ton of sand in my Large World, i'll eventually run out of it or completely fuck up one big area just to have enough snow, Sand, Dungeon Brick, etc)
    The few things that I feel do work differently are Ore, the fishing Crates and Herb Bags like you mentioned. I'd figure its more up to the player themselves to figure out weather they do or don't want to duplicate a specific item depending on how much enjoyment they want.
    Overall, 10/10 video, The editing is very smooth and you're right to the point with each of the chapters. Will be trying out my next Calamity run-through on Journey rather than just Expert.

    Journey mode is easily the best thing to happen to Terraria recently and I don't understand how anyone can hate on it. It literally just gives the players an option ro remove all the annoying grindy parts, which if you like is completely fine, but I don't really like having to wait god knows how long before I can progress cuz I can't get certain spawn. Also as you mentioned to research something you have to put in the resources first, and that's the most visible with the treasure bags. You have to defeat the boss 3 times at least (without it's drops) to be able to research the treasure bag as you need 3 of them. This mode is straight up just an improvement to everything in the game and I'll never understand how it can be hated.
