Question from a new player!
So I got terraria on ps4 when it was on sale a while back, didn't start playing til recently. I LOVE THIS GAME! I am making a mage and just finished crafting the full spectre armor set and have come on here and gotten inspired to make a base worth sharing (since my basic apartment building for me and my NPCs is a little bland looking). I have a question though, I really want a cursed Sapling pet but the pumpkin moon squashes me, so is there a terraria trade subreddit or whatnot where I can ask someone for one?

Pretty sure I've seen a trading sub linked before, but I've no idea what it is.
Alternatively, if you can't find someone to trade you could cheese the event.
Building the arena for it has been a lil obnoxious but yes seems to be the only course of action for me at this point.
Which arena do you plan on building? Mechanically, the cannon arena is super simple. The worst part will be flattening and filling the land. Maybe getting the first few plat coins depending on how you're doing with $$$ currently.
Spear trap arena is super cool, but I personally have trouble getting it to work on console (XB1). Grinding out the traps is tedious as well.
I'm not too sure what the cannon arena is but if it's easier I would love to do that. I have sortve started the spear trap one and am just trying to get some traps at this point. Having trouble finding a jelly statue too. I always start off super eager to build and that fizzles out pretty quickly when it just takes so long to get what I need lol
Check here.
You can make do with a simplified version if all you care about is the pet. No need to worry about the fancy moving spawn area. Just place a 17 block wide spawn area 36-37 blocks below where you stand on a platform. Cannon aiming directly up (cannonballs will come back down). Lava 84 blocks left and right. Use the link above to make sure you have the area below the spawn filled in enough (iirc, it'll be 3-4 blocks below your spawning platform but I could be wrong). Throw down a dungeon spike to stand on (iframes) and be ready to burn through ~2.5k cannonballs in a night.
Super easy, but with a 3-6 plat startup cost.
