Bone Shard Source

[NotSoLonelyDupe]

Aside from hammering fish bones, how can I get more bone shards?

diying and klaus (no need to be at the same time)

Make your server public and plant a Tentacle Trap around the spawn.

Or just pick Webber or any other character with >=160 health, get a friend, and repeat the following routine:

1. Craft a Telltale Heart
2. Die
3. Let your friend revive you with the Telltale Heart

Continuously die to something like frog and resurrect at the portal in Endless mode. Afterwards you can restore your max health with 3 booster shots or 1 moon idol (if the portal has been upgraded).

More tricky in Survival but still kinda easy, make a lot of telltale hearts and ask another player to revive you (best done as Wortox, especially since you will drop 0-2 souls depending on the character you play as, allowing Wortox to craft more hearts during the process). Webber will drop 2 souls, which can be dropped on the ground for 40 hp restored, which is exactly the amount needed to craft telltale heart.

Forget about spoiled fish & other sources of bones like deer antlers and tumbleweeds unless you're playing in Wilderness. Those are not very profitable compared to just killing yourself over and over again. Dying in wilderness will leave a skeleton every time you die in exchange for all the progress lost so that's even easier in this game mode - except you will have to memorize the map and places where you died to hammer your skeleton.

c_spawn("wes",50)  then wait for them to die --> gather the bones --> revive them --> repeat

Don't worry none of the are real Wes, they are just copies of him.

If you don't want to die then probably the best source is by hammering spoiled fish. You can use Eel from cave to get the spoiled fish.

[DarkPulse91]

the easiest source by far, as said before, is just hammering spoiled fish.
No dying, No bosses. Simple and easy,
Each spoiled fish has a 50% chance to give bones and a 50% chance to give rot.

Besides what was mentioned, there are a few in the blue mushroom biome in caves too, but they don’t respawn.
