Tooltips

Tooltips are bits of "hover text" displayed when hovering over items or selecting them in the inventory.
The complete text shown for an item usually contains the item's statistics.
An added bit of text also appears on many items, which is what is referred to on this wiki as the item's "tooltip" (they are referred to this way in Terraria's game code as well). They usually describe the item further, often in fun or humorous ways.
The statistics portion of the hover text may contain any of the following:
* Type
* Damage
* Critical strike chance
* Use time
* Knockback
* Mana usage
* Pickaxe power, axe power, hammer power, fishing power, bait power
* Health healed
* Defense
* Set bonus (when a full armor set is worn)
* Modifier effects
* Bonus effects
Modifier effects, if applicable, always appear at the bottom of the tooltip, colored green (for good effects) or red (for negative effects).
