Note: Only one type of item out of the ores and bars can drop, not both a type of ore and a type of bar. The table above implies otherwise with the ores and the bars being in separate rows, but that is for readability purposes. The chance that a type of ore or bar is dropped is 46.67*7/15 (46.67%).

Notes[]

  • A Golden Crate will always contain at least one type of item from the first four groups (or any but the last four groups) displayed in the loot table above. This means that at least one type of item from the following list will always drop from a Golden Crate:
  • Life Crystal Hardy Saddle
  • Gold Coin
  • Silver Ore Tungsten Ore Gold Ore Platinum Ore
  • Silver Bar Gold Bar Tungsten Bar Platinum Bar

Tips[]

  • Golden Crates are one of few methods of obtaining Greater Healing/Mana Potions during pre-Hardmode.
  • Golden Crates do not provide the lower-tiered metals: They do not offer Copper, Tin, Iron, nor Lead.

Trivia[]

  • The Hardy Saddle can only be obtained by opening Golden and Titanium Crates.
  • Life Crystals can be obtained by opening Golden and Titanium Crates, making them renewable.
