In Calamity, get a Depth Meter by killing enemies that drop it. Listed bats have a 1% drop chance; Crawdads, Giant Shellies, and Salamanders have a 1.25% chance on desktop, console, and mobile Terraria. The official Calamity recipe lists do not include a Depth Meter recipe, so the documented way to obtain one is to farm these enemies.
Which enemies drop the Depth Meter?
The Official Terraria Wiki lists these drop chances on its Depth Meter page:

Choose an enemy you can reach in your world and keep farming until the item drops. These percentages describe the chance per listed enemy; they do not guarantee a drop after a set number of kills. The sources do not compare farm locations or establish which enemy is fastest to farm.
Can you craft a Depth Meter in Calamity?
The Calamity Mod Wiki’s vanilla-item crafting list and recipe list do not list a Depth Meter recipe. The Terraria item page says the Depth Meter became a drop rather than a craftable item in Desktop 1.2 and lists enemy drops as its current acquisition method. This is the documented route; it does not establish that every Calamity version or configuration has been independently checked.

How to use the Depth Meter
