How do you get a compass in Terraria?
Getting a compass in Terraria is pretty straightforward but requires a bit of luck. You can find one by cracking open Gold Chests in the Underground and Cavern layers. Also, keep an eye out for the cave bat or any kind of Mimic; they also have a chance to drop it. So, put on your spelunking gear and get ready for some treasure hunting!

Just farm cave bats. Seriously, those little critters drop compasses like it's going out of style. Happy hunting!
Honestly, buy Terraria first, then worry about the compass. You're gonna need it to navigate, but the adventure of finding one is half the fun.
