This planner is a readiness checklist with a stage label, not a tier list. It helps you see which preparation category is missing before the next progression step.
Progression stage
Loadout readiness
Readiness
Mark the categories that are ready.
Use missing categories as the next task
If weapon and armor are ready but mobility is not, solve mobility before farming another weapon. The goal is to remove the real bottleneck instead of upgrading randomly.
Stage labels are broad
Terraria allows flexible routes and optional bosses. The selected stage is only context for your own checklist, not a claim that every world must follow one exact order.
