Amber Mosquito - Orange Rarity Drop Rate: 0.01% – 0.027%

Amber Mosquito is an item that summons a Baby Dinosaur. Like other pets, the pterosaur will chase the player if they run too far, and will even drag them along with its tail while the player is flying or has strayed a considerable distance.

Amber Mosquito can be obtained by placing Desert Fossils, Slush, or Silt into Extractinator.

Coin Gun - Light Purple Rarity Drop Rate: 0.0125% – 0.25%

Coin Gun is a high-value and useful weapon that uses coins earned by the player during their journey. The more valuable the coins, the more powerful the weapon.

Biome Keys - Yellow Rarity Drop Rate: 0.04%

Biome Keys are items used to open Biome Chests. Regardless of which Biome Keys the player obtains, Biome Chests will reward them with a legendary weapon to fight enemies. 

Biome Chests are located in the labyrinthine tunnels of Dungeon, with six in total, each corresponding to a different biome.

Bladeed Glove - Green Rarity Drop Rate: 0.05%

Bladed Glove is a pre-Hardmode broadsword. Many players might find this item weak, given its significantly lower damage compared to other pre-Hardmode weapons. However, Bladed Glove is the second fastest melee weapon in the game, boasting impressive DPS.

Note that Bladed Glove not only has a low drop rate but is also only obtainable during Halloween season event. Obtaining this item requires defeating weak enemies, which becomes even more difficult in Hardmode.

Anti-Gravity Hook - Lime Rarity Drop Rate: 0.13%

Anti-Gravity Hook is obtained from late-Hardmore and can only be found in Martian Madness event. Even so, players still need to defeat a considerable number of enemies there, as Martian Saucer has only a 1/800 chance of dropping it.

It's worth mentioning that this hook is very convenient for fast movement and can also reach tricky areas. It launches three independent hooks, each reaching 31.25 blocks.

Money Trough - Orange Rarity Drop Rate: 0.5% – 1%

Money Trough is an item that summons a piggy bank to store money and other valuables, ensuring their safety if the player dies or if others take them without permission.

Players can obtain this portable storage item by defeating Blood Zombies, Dripplers, Wandering Eye Fish, and Zombie Merman, which appear during Blood Moon. While Money Trough won't follow the player, it can be resummoned at any time.

Reindeer Bells - Yellow Rarity Drop Rate: 0.56% – 0.83%

Reindeer Bells are the first Terraria item that allows you to summon a mount. Although it's an early item for many, it still holds significant value.

Tattered Bee Wing - Pink Rarity Drop Rate: 0.67%

Tattered Bee Wings are primarily used to craft Bee Wings. With these wings, players can complete quests very easily and precisely.

Terragrim - Green Rarity Drop Rate: 2%

Terragrim is a pre-Hardmode melee weapon that can quickly defeat most enemies. Players can obtain Terragrim from swords found in stones; these swords appear in Enchanted Sword Shrine, and very rarely in caves.

Blessed Apple - Yellow Rarity Drop Rate: 2.5% – 3.33%

Blessed Apple is an item that summons a Unicorn mount. Unicorn mounts are extremely fast and powerful, using their powerful horns to damage enemies they touch, making them a very worthwhile mount to acquire. Players must defeat Unicorns to obtain it.
