It is real “Bigger n’ Boulder” time following the Terraria 1.4.5 update that introduced over 650 new items. Among their new additions is the mysterious Lucky Clover which is a rare blue-rarity item that quickly becomes a sought-after treasure. But what does this Lucky Clover do in Terraria and how can you obtain one? Check the guide below!
What Is the Lucky Clover?
The recent Terraria 1.4.5 update introduced the blue-rarity accessory called Lucky Clover. This directly influences your character’s Luck Stat and permanently unlike other consumable items with temporary buffs. This special four-leaf clover works passively while just sitting in your inventory.
Meaning, you do not need to eat it, equip it in an accessory slot, or even activate it in any way. Simply having it stored among your items will already provide you with the Luck Stat boosts. While considered a minimal bonus to Luck, it can still affect crucial gameplay elements.
How to Find the Lucky Clover
Unfortunately, your chances of obtaining the Lucky Clover completely depends on your luck. Unlike other Terraria items, this doesn’t have the specific crafting recipes or guaranteed drop locations. Instead, it spawns as a rare drop after you cut grass throughout Terraria’s various biomes, especially in the main Forest biome.
You will need to explore grassy areas and use any weapon to cut down the tall grass when searching for Lucky Clover. It is best to use axes, swords, and other melee weapons for this task, or you can shake trees to obtain one. Make sure to search for it in the early of your playthrough as it is plentiful and easily accessible.
Farming Strategy for Maximum Efficiency
Other ways of obtaining Lucky Clover without relying on exploration is by farming. Just follow these steps to farm the item:
-
- Start by constructing a large dirt platform, extending horizontally in a single direction.
- After building your platform, plant the grass seeds along the entire length.
- In addition, you can add acorns across the platform and wait for them to grow into full-sized trees.
- This will build your dual-purpose farm, allowing you to both shake trees and cut grass.
- Equip a sickle or similar grass-cutting tool and run along the platform to clear the grass as you go.
- Wait for the grass to regrow and repeat the process after clearing the platform.
- Prepare to clear the platform multiple times before the Lucky Clover finally drops.
How the Luck System Works
But how does the Lucky Clover work for the Luck system? Luck is a hidden stat that influences various random elements throughout the game. It includes item drop rates from bosses and enemies, spawn chances for specific creatures, inventory available from NPC vendors, and general random events. So, the higher luck it is means better drops, rarer spawns and more favorable outcomes.
You can stack Lucky Clover with other luck-boosting methods to maximize the important stat except for the clove itself. Aside from this item, you can increase Luck as follows:
-
- Placing biome-appropriate torches
- Drinking Luck Potions
- Using accessories like Lucky Coin and Lucky Horseshoe
- Tossing coins into Shimmer
- Consuming Galaxy Pearls
- Keeping Gnomes nearby
- Playing during Lantern-filled nights
- Touching Ladybugs
Conclusion
Like its name, you need to get lucky to find the Lucky Clover across grassy biomes in Terraria. Alternatively, you can start your own farming spot by planting grass seeds and acorns to efficiently obtain Lucky Clover. Make sure to keep one on your inventory for an additional permanent luck boost.
