I have a very hard time believing the claim it was one of the most interesting biomes around 1.2. Id argue it was the most boring biome in 1.2 besides maybe the ocean. There was no undergound desert in 1.2, that was added in 1.3. The "main" biomes were Forest, Snow, Desert, Jungle, Ocean, Underworld, Evil biomes, Hallow, maybe the ocean. Literally all the desert had before 1.3 was the surface desert, so no fossils, no amber, no underground, only vultures and antlions, as well as mummies in hardmode, cacti and waterleaf, and pyarmids. Pyramids are not even a gaurantee anyways, and even more so iffy with the loot youd get from them, being pharoah set, sandstorm in a bottle, or a flying carpet. Thats the only treasure Desert had. The snow biome had an underground with its own mobs and treasure to find, ice cannon, ice mirror, blizzard in a bottle, ice sword. It changes the least from pre hardmode to hardmode out of all the biomes, the only addition being the aforementioned mummy. So I do not know out of the 3 features it had in 1.2 made it so much more interesting than the others which had many more lmao Id argue it was most interesting in 1.3, when it got its major overhaul, and basically got everything we connect with the desert today. Sandstorms, underground, fossils, amber, more unique treasures. A boss could maybe fix some of the issues it has, but these days the desert suffers from a lack of interesting gear and equipment in hardmode (and a boss overall) compared to every other biome.
It has a lot of stuff it's just very early game, which makes no sense because why would you visit the underground desert early game? And then it has only light and dark shards and forbidden fragments for hard mode which is just like why would you do this
bro i remember when i first entered hardmode i entered a desert cave i got jumpscared by a HUGE worm😭 safe to say i never went exploring one ever again
Literally WHAT are you talking about? It has CACTUS ARMOR AND TOOLS, the Oasis biome, Dunerider boots (the best hermes boots varient), Sandstorm in a bottle (the best cloud in a bottle varient), bast statue (absolutely worth it), scarab bombs, ancient chisel, spirit flame, desert tiger staff, Digtoise!!! Who doesnt want an automated hellevator!!!, flying carpet, oysters, the magic conch (you know, neccessary for the shellphone?!), spear of the storm, thunderzapper, pyramids, fossils, oh im sorry, is this still not enough? How about an entire EVENT all to itself that is way more fleshed out than the ice equivalent, featuring its own MINIBOSS, and supplying you with forbidden fragments which I NEVER skip if im playing summoner or mage. WHAT IS BRO SMOKING??? The Desert is LITERALLY one of the most FLESHED OUT biomes in the entire GAME. If any biome actually needs love, its the freaking OCEAN.
Ancient chisel and magic conch are life savers Also sturdy fossil for rangers Thunder zapper is great for mage early game Bast statues are great too In hardmode, forbidden fragments are good for mages and summoners

Early game desert is trail by fire and hard mode if it gets corrupted

Uh it’s got the shell phone don’t it? That’s a really REALLY helpful tool
Underground desert from the OST is a BANGER imo best song in the game
nah its the underground beach bro
“Who cares”

Dessert fossils?
I mean the desert at the star is hard to deal with but very rewording in the desert chest for the begginder phase
Bro is clearly not an early game fishing enthusiast
Nah snow is underwhelming
I mean magic carpet is kinda nice for a minute
That ocean biome tho.. 😐
add the Desert Scourge
Nah bro when you find a pit to the underground desert prehard mode and a bug flies at you top speed and one shots you
Ancient chisel and magic conch are life savers
Also sturdy fossil for rangers
Thunder zapper is great for mage early game
Bast statues are great too
In hardmode, forbidden fragments are good for mages and summoners
IT HAS DIGITOISE!!
The mysterious treasures of the pyramids are a little interesting, but by the way, I always have the darkest desert underground.
