**Replace Perennial with Chlorophyte, and buff the later to post-Plantera tier **

A very bold progression suggestion to aid in multiple factors of the game that the mod is currently having some trouble in my opinion.
In my point of view, we are experiencing the following issues:

-Chlorophyte is severely underused due to being directly available at the same time as Hallowed armour.
-Theres a substantial amount of overlapping armour bloat at the point that you defeat the third mechanical Mechs in the current reworked progression.
-The exact same issue applies to Reaver armour, the stat increase is too small for players to consider farming again, and Chlorophyte armor upgrades such as Beetle/Spectre/Shroomite will be better than it regardless.
-Perennial is uninteresting as a concept, from its armour and weaponry to its acquisition method.

There before, in order to aid with item bloat and give further purpose to Chloroyphyte, i suggest to move Chlorophyte further down the progression line, make it spawn once Plantera has been defeated ( with the subsequent buff the armors and weapons would need ), and eradicate Perennial ore. This would aid in:

-Make armour tiers more distinctive and avoid bloat.
-Chlorophyte is much more fitting to be eligible to spawn after Plantera's death than perennial ( directly related to the jungle, grows like a plant, etc. )
-Salvageable Perennial weaponry and crafteables can easily be adapted to Chlorophyte since they share the same motif.
-Avoid making players to farm armour out of underground armour back to back.

**Make Chlorophyte set bonus only activate if the player is under max health or enemies are near**

Mainly because the sound that plays can get a little annoying hearing it every few seconds even when it isn't doing anything.

**Add/Allow more items that interact with Defense Damage**

Currently, the only item that interacts with defense damage is Draedon's Heart (arguably Bloodflare Core?), and while it has a unique effect, defense damage isn't nearly as relevant in the late game as it is in Hardmode and pre-Hardmode. A few items in the earlier sections of the game feel like adding some kind of method of interaction with DD to them would be thematically appropriate, and could also increase their usage, such as Armor Bracing, Anechoic Plating, Rover Drive, Mollusk armor, etc.

Simply adding new items with this purpose could also work to add some more variety to accessories and how defensive items interact with the player instead of simply dealing with pure defense, damage reduction, immunity frames, or regeneration as most do already.

**Add Post-Providence Boot Upgrades**

Currently, the post-ML progression goes that you get your respective class specific Lunar armor and the wings to go with it because the buff from using the Lunar wings with their respective armor is just that good. However, after you defeat Providence and you discard your Lunar armor and Lunar wings, the benefits of having an extra accessory slot by using Seraph Traces often outweigh the detriment of not having the applied buff from whatever wings you are using and increased flight time. This causes Seraph Tracers to be significantly more alluring as it allows for access to another accessory slot.

I suggest adding post-Providence boot upgrades to add incentives to use wings and boots instead of just combining the two into Seraph Tracers. This could possibly be done by combing Angel Treads with the Soaring Insignia to increase wing flight time or combining the boots with something like the MOAB to allow for access to the 3 extra jumps. Just something to increase the desire to have boots + wings instead of just combing them for the extra accessory slot.

**make multiple per item recipies less grindy**

im fine with having to get things like cores of calamity, however, why do you need to get multiple? you already have to go to the sky, underground ice biome, underworld/dungeon, and dungeon, and then beat calamitas too, i dont see why recipies couldnt just call for 1 or 2, it just annoyingly boosts how long you have to stay in each area by a small ammount when it needs 5, same with life alloy, if you can show that you can go around the map and get all the ores, you shouldnt need to get x ammount of each ore, maybe you should just need 1 life alloy

**Add an upgrade to the Gravedigger's Shovel or Tools with Similar Effects**

Gravedigger's Shovel is a very useful pre-Hardmode tool that mines a 3x3 area out of soft blocks like mud, snow, dirt, and ash. This is very useful for navigating biomes like the Jungle and Snow biomes, as well as terraforming the surface, and just general clearing out large areas of soft blocks (like for Hellbridges), but for as useful as its effect is, due to the powercreep of Calamity, and even vanilla to some extent, it eventually becomes outclassed due to how absurdly fast pickaxes manage to get the later you get in the game, and as you collect more buffs to mining speed through progression. However, picks still mine less blocks at once which can make tunneling a bit annoying, and typically clearing out larger areas is reserved for bombs, but if an upgrade to the shovel was added it could help both these niches and allow it to last longer, perhaps having a naturally higher mining speed as well so you aren't forced to run a bunch of buffs just to keep it up with your normal tools. Possible stronger effects could be added as well, such as being able to mine harder blocks by becoming a jackhammer, or digging a larger area. There's a lot of possibilities with these kinds of tools, and I think Calamity could make good use of such options.

**Make Potions More Accessible and Less Grindy**

Basically make acquiring potion more friendly/less overwhelmingly grindy. Bosses are balanced around having potions as otherwise they will be underpowered as soon as the player get some.
However, this approach can be very new player unfriendly as not only are beta testers very skilled individual, but also that new players have higher tendency to die a lot due to being unfamiliar with the boss, resulting in high attempt count on the bosses even with full potion buffs. This can quickly stack up potion farming cost which will be not sustainable very quickly.

Thus, the following are a series of proposed example ideas that can be done to make potions more accessible:

1) Make Super (200), Supreme (250) and Omega (300) healing potion have better convertion ratio; say 1 to 3~5 ratio

• Super is super grindy before Astrum Deus or Moon Lord is beaten due to requiring pillar fragments, Supreme requires 1 Unholy Essence per potion and Omega is 10 blood orb per potion, all are unreasonably high and super grindy

2) Make multi-line fishing poles available earlier

• Currently the earliest multi-line fishing rod available is perennial (Feral = 2), which is still bad, and only at scoria (Rift Reeler = 3-5 lines), and then it jumps in progression to Uelibloom (Early Bloom = 6) and Cosmilite (Devourer of Cods = 10).
• More multi-line fishing rod should be accessible earlier, especially Mech tier as due to the Hardmode Ore rework they are big obstacles that can possibly require many tries to beat

3) Make Amalgam's 'Double Potion Duration and Potion Buff Don't Disappear After Death' effect available earlier

• Can be in the form of an accessory drop. This effect is extremely useful but available too late at post-DoG, especially that Amalgam don't offer utility and is pure damage.
• Ravager can be suitable to drop it as it drops unique accessory like Blood Pact, Flesh Totem and Bloodflare Core

**Slight modification to the Bladecrest Oathsword**

Rather than having a multi-homing projectile sword that bypass tiles without useturn, I believe that the sword should instead, shoot 2-3 projectiles that deal 90% of the weapons original damage, losing the homing but rather, gaining the ability to follow the cursor. Currently the weapon both feels very strong yet highly unwieldy as you can currently only aim it towards the direction your character is facing, by making it follow the cursor I believe this fixes that clunkiness whilst making a more (balanced?) weapon with a more unique ability that isn't just another haha homing go brrr weapon.

Add more sentry summoner focused armor sets and accessories

calamity already adds many very cool and very well designed sentry summons, and its a shame we cant get more use out of them beyond being a bit of bonus damage on top of our minions. More sentry focused items would make them much more viable as a playstyle. Currently, a sentry summoner build starts and the beginning of hardmode, and stops improving after plantera. Your sentries get better, but you dont get more slots or other kinds of buffs.

**Make Heart Of the Elements, When The Visuals Are Turned Off, Not Disabled The Elementals**

At the moment, when the Heart Of The Elements’ visuals are turned off it disables the elementals. This doesn’t make much sense as the item’s ability is literally to spawn the elementals.

I suggest making it so if visuals are turned off the elementals do not disappear. Alternatively, when the visuals are turned off the elementals disappear and are replaced with a crystal above the player’s head (similar to the chloraphite armor set bonus). This crystal would shoot the elementals’ projectiles instead of having the elementals physically around the player.

Make Flowers of Mortality consume integer number of slots

Flowers of Mortality is an unique summon weapon because it uses half a minion slot for one flower with a maximum of 5 minions that take up 2.5 slots total. However, you will normally always have spare 0.5 minion slot due to lack of weapons with similar mechanics (closest being Ethereal Subjectator, which is several bosses away). A simple solution to this is making Flowers of Mortality instantly spawn 5 flowers at the cost of 3 minion slots.

**Make Death Mode Have More Identity **

Malice mode is being removed this patch after a fairly poor reception by the community and its clear that some players would like a greater challenge. Its also clear with the removal of iron heart and defiled rune that the team would like to avoid putting dev time into extraneous game modes that few will ever play. Difficulty is subjective so its hard to find a balance that is just right between Normal, Expert, Revengance, and Death. Though my experience with the game, I found Expert and Revengance to be definitive experiences with well balanced adjustments. However, Revengance to Death left me wanting a little more. Death mode didn't change enough for me. Most notable changes I found were the weather and new environmental ways to die from heat and cold, which were fun for a while before becoming a minor annoyance until their eventual removal. Malice mode was a different story. Entirely new AI for every boss and boosted projectile speed and contact damage, that looked like a new challenge for a full play though, but ended up being balanced to replay old bosses. Who does that? There are also fan mods out there that add a harder difficulty beyond death so what needs to be done? Well, we don't need an extra game mode right now, we just need you to--
Make The Jump to Death Mode Feel Just As Good As the Jump to Revengence
ie. Make Death Mode More Distinct
How can this be done?

1. Look though the Malice AI changes and see if there is something, if anything, worth keeping. then experiment.
2. Find new ways to affect the world around the player to make it feel different, think of it as a successor to the hot and cold weather system and under ground darkness. find new mechanics and refine them to fit the world better than the environmental hazards did.
3. Refine the reward systems for players that complete the game in Death mode.
   The goal is a small difficulty raise, but a refined experience.
   Make Death Mode Great Again.

Currently the endurance potion only gives 5% damage reduction which really isn't that much, the vanilla one gives 10% damage reduction, it was reduced to make it more balanced, but 5% seems a bit too low, especially in the endgame.

**Increase Amount of Shadowspec Bars yielded From One Craft**

Currently, farming both Supreme Calamitas and Exo-Mechs for Shadowspec Bars can be very tedious since the fights take so long. This often leads to the fight becoming more frustrating after every consecutive kill. This means farming becomes less of a challenge and more a just dragging you feet through mud as you re-kill the bosses over and over again.

To fix this, I suggest changing the crafting recipe for Shadowspec Bars to use more Auric Bars and yield more Shadowspec Bars respectively, decreasing the amount of farming you have to do for Ashes of Annihilation and Exo Prisms.

**Add chest loot to the Sunken Sea**

Currently, aside from locating the biome lab, there isn't much incentive to explore most of the biome. The 2 main reasons to come are either to gather prism shards or fight the Giant Clam, both of which can be done in 1-2 trips. Scattering chests about with helpful gear would give much more reason to explore the place. Additionally, given the lore surrounding the place, said chests could generate in ruined building structures to help better sell the idea that this once was a sprawling underwater city.

**Make Amphibian/Sailfish Boots in to the Frog Gear upgrade line**

Right now lots of players need boots for horizontal mobility, but when post-ml they have 2 options which neither is a very good idea: craft the Seraph Tracers and abandon luminite, starboard, tarragon wings or stick with Angel Treads until Elysian Tracers or even later. And then the Statis dashing upgrade line feels a bit underpowered compared to Asgard’s Valor due to lacking the ram iframes. I suggest put amphibian/sailfish boots in the frog gear’s recipe and in turn make it into the Statis’ ninja belt line. Not only will it solve the problems above but I also think it would make sense and be quite balanced. The 3 types of post moon lord movement accessories boots, wings and dashes take 2 slots with seraph (or more) tracers and Asgard’s valor, and would take the same amount of slots of Statis’ ninja belt and wings.

**Rework/Improvement/Upgrades on Ambrosial Ampoule**

Currently the accessory is just incredibly boring after the removal of honey dew from its recipes and not upgraded into the Sponge. It is pretty much just a stat stick that provides 5% DR and 2 HP regen/second, and immunity to some debuff.

While the item is strong, it requires cryonic bar which makes nearly all of the debuff immunity it give irrelevant (mech and post-cryogen), as in not even non-boss enemy apply them. The only relevant debuff afterwards is cursed flame which is applied by Exo Mechs, but at that time you have way better accessories (for obvious reason). All of these just make Ambrosial Ampoule outdated almost instantly by the time you get it and boring.

Reworking the item will of course works but is the nuclear option; improvement on the item to give it more unique effect to make it more worthwhile; or to give it an upgrade, all works to increase the longetivity of the item beyond just a stat stick.

**Make Ninja Dodge Not Activate With <1 Damage**

There are some enemies, that after a large amount of progression, deal only 1 damage to you (due to your defense) and die from one hit from you and are mostly just annoying rather than an actual danger. However, then Ninja Dodge from several accessories such as Statis Ninja Belt, which is meant to protect you from strong attacks, can go to waste from a hit from a, for example, Slime, while travelling to your boss arena, making you wait 90 seconds to start the boss with the dodge ready. I suggest this gets changed by making it activate only through taking more than one damage.

Golem is still too easy compared to all the bosses around him. On my most recent playthrough on death mode, it took me HOURS to beat Astrum Aureus, finally just narrowly succeeding, and then I went and fought Golem next, winning on my second try. It just feels so anti-climactic. He needs to be harder so he doesn't feel like a joke.

My suggestion is to make it so you HAVE to kill the Golem's head- either by making it so his body is invulnerable until you do, the same way Skeletron/Skeletron Prime/Etc. works, or by making it so the other enrages and stays alive when you kill one, so killing the body leaves an angrier head alive.

**Add an additional effect to Draconic Elixir for Godslayer**

Currently, Draconic Elixir has 2 effects. 1: A buff to ariel mobility and a defense boost. 2: A buff to the Silva revive.
While the usefulness of the Silva revive has been debated upon in the past, I have no objections to this. However, this gives Mage and Summoner an advantage over Melee, Ranger, and Rogue. These three classes wear Godslayer Armor, as opposed to Silva, and this is reflected onto their Auric Tesla armors. Since Godslayer no longer has a revive and instead has a dash, Draconic Elixir does nothing extra for these classes. But why should Mage and Summoner get a buff to their armors' effects and not Melee, Ranger, and Rogue?

Adding some sort of extra buff to Draconic Elixir that solely benefits those wearing God Slayer Armor would help to ensure that no class has an advantage over the other. Some suggestions include but are not limited to:
A heal based on percentage of damage avoided by using the Godslayer Dash; A second dash charge that can be used whenever, but consumes the potion's effect; More immunity frames with the dash

Either way, Draconic Elixir could definitely use an additional perk for those wearing Godslayer.

Expand the loot pool for the Bleached Angling Kit to include more quest rewards from the Angler.

I think it's safe to say, we all hate the Angler.
To that end, the Angling kits are a wonderful addition. However, the minimal difference between the Sandy and the Bleached kits (one extra item and better drop chances) really don't warrant the jump in boss difficulty to one of the first pre-hardmode bosses to one of the first post-hardmode bosses. There's almost nothing changing between them.

Farming the Desert Scourge is vastly more convenient both in terms of time and effort than farming the Aquatic Scourge. I don't think the loot tables properly reflect this.
I think that these kits should be more reflective of the angler's drops. I see little issue with the Sandy kit, moreso the lack of extra items in the Bleached kit that are found later dropped by Leviathan and Anahita.
Leviathan and Anahita's drops include things like the sponge, hotline rod and the endless water bucket. Items like this I think are thematically appropriate, but they're normally available from the moment hardmode starts from the angler quests, and I don't see why they shouldn't be available in the hardmode Bleached Angling kit.

I reckon that by shifting this fishing based loot to the hardmode fishing based loot kit as if it were reflective of the hardmode angler rewards, it would give people more incentive to fight the Aquatic Scourge more often, beyond just only bothering with the Desert Scourge. Given he's an underwater boss, specifically in the sulphuric ocean, it would also encourage players to get more accustomed to how to deal with the sulphur and they'd spend more time lurking just above the abyss.
Besides being a helpful change to loot pools and more accessible utility QOL items, I think for players who become aware of the usefulness of farming Aquatic Scourge from that angler pack, it would help encourage them to explore and learn about things in that area that they may otherwise only glance at and slap on a potion or accessory to deal with it without giving it much thought.

**Give Alternative Blood Orb Potion Recipes That Require Progression Material To Be Crafting Station Locked Instead Of Material Locked**

The title may be abit unclear so let me give some examples:

Potions using Blood Orb sometimes use boss/progression material
eg: Crumbling, Shattering, Astral Injection and Gravity Normalizer, Ceaseless Hunger, Penumbra...

Blood Orb potion crafting recipe is intended to basically be a 'less material grindy' method of potion acquisition by only having Blood orb as material, but some potions still being locked behind boss material defeat this purpose.

Thus, the suggestion is so that these potions can ALSO be acquired purely using Blood Orb through alternative recipe that is only crafting station locked (even if they will be acquired later than their progression). This is already done in game by having Omega Healing Potion being Cosmic Anvil locked so it is not out of the way.

For example, Crumbling can be Hardmode anvil/forge locked; Astral Injection, Gravity Normalizer, Penumbra, Shattering are Ancient Manipulator locked, Ceaseless Hunger is Cosmic Anvil locked... and so on.

While in this recipe you will acquire potions later than how you normally would with boss material, they open up option most notably refarming them late game (as many of these are useful even at end game) through Blood Orb only.

**Allow Hallowed and Cryonic Ore to Spawn in Biome Variant Blocks**

On a recent run, my Hallowed spawned in the Snow Biome, and after beating Cryogen and the Three Mech Bosses, I noticed that Hallowed and Cryonic Ore only spawned in the parts of the biome untouched by the other.

Since the Hallow spawns in a V, part of it was in the Caverns layer outside of the Snow, and part of the Snow was outside of the Hallow, but I'm also using "Begone, Evil!" so if you don't kill these bosses before it gets time to spread, well...

While this feels more like an oversight, I can guess that this is probably equally true if your Corruption/Crimson spawns in the Snow biome, and if your Hallowed spawns in the Desert as well. If this was intentional, all this really does it force the player to finishes the bosses quickly, lest their world is overtaken by the evils and it messes with the spawning, or, otherwise, forces the player to go to obscure parts of the biome just to get a resource that should be plentiful through out.

Give Anahita & Leviathan a more predictable summon condition.

Anahita & Leviathan is a boss that holds quite a few useful morsels of loot, and has a fair amount of value to farm the fight.
However, waiting for the RNG of "???" to spawn in the ocean is quite a chore, and leaves you running back and forth just spending time arbitrarily. No gameplay, just hitting A, then D, and sometimes going up for air.
Sure, potions can make it a bit easier, but ultimately it's still a boss that cannot spawn unless you get lucky with RNG.

The perforators and the hive mind, along with plantera all have this same issue, however the perforator and hive mind both have summon items as well, and plantera went from having no summon item in vanilla to being given one specifically to deal with this problem in calamity.
I think the same courtesy is owed to Anahita and Leviathan, to make her easier & more reliable to summon.

To clarify when I say "Summon Item", I don't neccessarily mean something like "Hold item, click, boss spawns."
One suggestion is that it could be similar to the Empress of Light, where there might be a Baby Leviathan critter floating around the ocean under certain conditions. You could kill the critter to summon the boss, or capture it and use it to summon the boss at a later date.
Perhaps an altar you can use an item at, on the ocean's floor or something.
I just think the mod would benefit from having some freedom of choice as to when to summon the boss, besides just hoping something shows up when you want it to.

Argueably the item is most important before that stage of the game anyway since at that point you are far more likely to be undergeared.

On a side note: I think ??? can spawn pre-hm, not sure about this one but if thats the case I really dont understand what the point of that is, in case it is intentional.

**Give Aureate Booster and Hadarian wings a bonus effect**

The addition of bonus effects to wings allows the player make creative choices between extra damage, regen, defense, movement speed, flight time and acceleration and more when deciding what wings to use in a loadout. Some of these effects work only when a full set of armor is equipped, enhancing the armor set's abilities further. However both the perennial themed wings and astral themed wings both do not have any effects when equipped. Considering these sets are explorer/movement based, I feel like these wings should aid the set in some way that compliments their armors. Perhaps Aureate booster could fire off mini seeking projectiles when worn with the reaver armor, as this set leaves you with less offensive power. And maybe astral wings could negate low gravity effects when wore with astral armor (astral itself isn't as offensively weak as reaver armor). Something small and simple like this goes a long way in influencing a player's choices throughout a playthrough, and it would also make these sets and set bonuses more viable.

There are 2 Plague themed armor sets now and an absolute ton of plague themed weapons, but no plague wings.

make Magic Missile be required for only sky fracture's weapon line

Magic Missile is currently used for 3 calamity weapons: Carnage/Night's Ray and Shifting Sands. However, it already has a use in vanilla as a component for Sky's Fracture (which line gets extended by Calamity up to exo tier) which means that you will need a total of 4-5 Magic Missiles to get all the weapons. Flamelash is the same tier as Magic Missile and yet not used in a single recipe, which is why i suggest to replace it for some crafts.

It's very difficult to notice the debuff because the player is likely focused on the attacks which leads to tons of unnecessary damage.

1. A transparent field of sorts similar to astralgeldon in the catalyst mod is one way of implementing this.
2. The field can be removed in death mode for the sake of difficulty.

**Bring back the infinite flight ability of the Soaring Insignia, but as an endgame accessory instead.**

Obviously, the Soaring Insignia in vanilla is overpowered for Calamity, since wings not having infinite flight time is part of their balancing, you're only supposed to have infinite flight while on mounts that have worse mobility than wings. (like the witch's broom or similar) Removing the infinite flight ability entirely though feels like a bit much.

Since the gamer chair mount kind of makes wings obsolete anyway, having an upgrade to the Soaring Insignia locked by Supreme Calamitas would fit as a sort of parallel to that. Infinite wing flight is just a really cool ability, and having it entirely removed is lame, so making it post-Calamitas seems like a fair compromise.

Out of all of them, this is the recipe where it's inclusion feels the least necessary, as it could easily just be replaced with Hallowed Bars or a similar crafting material around that stage of the game. If the Ark should still continue the theme of combining various swords together, the Beam Sword could be a viable candidate to take True Excalibur's place.

**Make Plague Hive an actual uprade to Alchemical Flask by giving it the on-hit Honey effect from Honey Comb or switch it for Toxic Heart or Hive Pack and their effects**

Plague Hive is such a non-upgrade to Alchemical Flask, the only reason I can imagine someone making it is purely because they have the Honey Comb on hand. The only thing it adds is the ability to release bees that inflict plague when hit, and on hit effects on the player are some of the worst effects for an accessory to have in the game. The few that are good actively mitigate the damage taken from the hit in some capacity, but Toxic Heart has no such ability. This is one of the many reasons Honey Comb was so bad back in 1.3, because it didn’t have the Honey buff effect on hit, only the bees. I’m not sure why the same exact problem was repeated by the Calamity devs with this item. Simply giving Plague Hive the Honey buff on hit from its precursor, or just swapping it for one of its previous materials like the Toxic Heart or Hive Pack would make this item into an actual upgrade as opposed to what it is now.

**Give Dungeon bricks, Dungeon furniture and Dungeon platforms recipes to allow them to be renewable and accessible**

Dungeon brick walls of all 3 colors can be purchased from the Clothier, allowing a player to obtain all 3 types of brick, but in both Calamity and Vanilla the player cannot craft Dungeon platforms at all, and all of the furniture inside the Dungeon is limited and exclusive to being picked up inside of it despite looking just like the bricks.

Not only does this make all these building materials obnoxious to get, to the point where typically you’ll just use different furniture, but it is also one of the only furniture sets in the game that is non-renewable for no practical reason. (And makes the other two completely unobtainable.)

Even just shoving Dungeon furniture into Dungeon crates would be better than having to hope that the Dungeon generated with the right pieces of furniture you want to use. Furthermore, considering the implementation of Ecto Mist, it’d be quite easy to simply allow the player to craft between different brick colors as well, so you don’t have to use the roundabout method of buying walls from the Clothier, and the new recipes would make the other furniture sets obtainable by extension.

**Add Hardmode exclusive recipes for the "Bloody Tear" and the "Diving Helmet"**

I understand this mod isn't a "Vanilla Crafting Recipe Mod", but the developers have come up with some great Vanilla Recipes for items that are harder to get or only have a slight chance of spawning in your world. I would like to see recipes for both of the items mentioned above if they are not already planned, as they can be difficult to get under certain circumstances. Allow me to explain:

The Bloody Tear is a very useful item, especially since it is no longer consumable thanks to Calamity. Blood Orbs are super important for farming in order to make potions that some may deem necessary for beating bosses. If the potion you like isn't conveniently offered by an NPC thanks to this mod, then using Blood Orbs is an even more convenient option to make the potion if you do not have the needed ingredients. The healing potion "Omega Healing Potion" also requires Blood Orbs to create, which makes them a necessity near the end of the game.

Here's the problem; there is the small but possible chance that you can play an entire Calamity playthrough and not get a Blood Moon a singular time. It's possible, and is something my friend dealt with. This locks off very useful items like the aforementioned Blood Orb and even the Money Trough, as the Money Trough also requires Blood Orbs to craft if you somehow did not get it to drop. The Bloody Tear is also a drop chance, and while many Blood Moon related enemies may drop it, it is still just that; a chance. If you get a Blood Moon and do not get the Bloody Tear, you're fresh out of luck for Blood Orb farming later.

The Diving Helmet is much more straightforward. Sharks/Trashers are a rarer Ocean enemy than most, and the Diving Helmet is only a 2/5% chance, and is also required for the inevitable crafting of the Abyssal Diving Gear/Suit. It is up to the developers where in progression these items could be crafted, but I think Hardmode would be best.

**More "Other" type Summoner Weapons please! Also maybe Auto-swing for the Borealis Bomber?**

I'll admit I'm a bit biased, but I loved the Slime Puppet Staff and the Borealis Bomber for the niche extra-damage they gave me as a Summoner in order to compete with the high DPS of my friends while playing. The fact that they home in makes things even more interesting, and provides a use for my Mana that would just be sitting in the corner otherwise. The Slime Puppet Staff helped me way into Hardmode until I obtained the Borealis Bomber which has helped me all the way up to Polterghast so far. I feel like this opinion may change upon seeing if Calamity has more whips to offer in the future, but I loved these weapons so much and they'll be a part of my Summoner playthroughs from now on. Would love to see more weapons like them!

Would also like to suggest; perhaps the Borealis Bomber could be auto-swing, just like the Slime Puppet Staff? In terms of damage/DPS, the Borealis Bomber is much better than the Slime Puppet Staff, but when you upgrade, you start to miss the benefit of being able to just hold your attack button rather than hurt my poor mouse button's feelings with how often I hit it. Other than that, loved the niche these weapons provided! Super great weapons that I wanted to provide positive feedback for as well. I loved being able to actively participate in a fight instead of letting my Minions/Sentry/Elementals do all the work.

**Let the Rare Sand Elemental's Healing Orbs travel through walls**

Title is straightforward, but essentially the Rare Sand Elemental from the "Rare Elemental in a Bottle" and the "Heart of the Elements" has a healing orb that is created, then travels to the player. The problem is that if this orb hits a block, it will break and disappear. This is a problem because fighting indoors means you do not get the benefit of healing from the Elemental, making it pointless indoors. On top of that, the healing orb specifically travels upwards before homing in on you. This means that the healing orb may hit a ceiling or block above it before even having the chance to try and travel to you. Changing this would mean that you can also lay in bed while getting the healing orb from your Elemental for extra regeneration which would be neat!

currently, sepulcher deals no contact damage and simply spawns projectiles, which is already great quality of life- however, its size means it frequently covers brimstone hearts, rendering them inaccessible until it moves out of the way. waiting is often risky because it moves slow enough that you could get yourself killed if you're focusing on the hearts rather than just the projectiles around you. this may not be as much of a problem for more idle classes with big areas of effect or homing, like summoners and mages, but it really sucks for rogues and (with certain weapons) rangers, who need to focus on their accuracy and where their hits land. either removing that feature altogether or making it move out of the way faster would resolve this.

**Make the opposing evil floating islands larger, so that the opposite evil bosses are easier to get, or make a way to obtain the opposite evil biome blocks with e to mist and etc.**

I feel, maybe, that the floating evil island is too small to be useful for resources, and waiting for the biome to spread is unnecessarily time consuming. Also, with a larger island, the opposite evil bosses would be easier to fight and spawn (more space, more hive/perforator cysts and crimson hearts/shadow orbs), alongside a greater lake for easier fishing. Furthermore, many challenge playthroughs I do involve defeating EVERY boss and mini boss in the game, so having to spread an opposing evil for a boss can be wasteful of time.
In continuation… altars should spawn in those islands, or some sort of replacement, as an alternative option to the underground. I am also going to provide another optional mark to take it one more step further…
Hardmode evil components and crimtane/demonite should be obtainable here, as a way to get the other resource from a biome, and as such— the respective mimics should be spawned, rather, based on which biome it is spawned in, or some specific evil-exclusive material to be placed alongside one of the keys.

…it’s a lot, but it would make it a lot easier than generating a whole new world for a slightly different resource… or expanding that little island.

The Terraprisma is MUCH stronger than every other summon weapon, because it's meant to be a post-game challenge to no-hit the EoL. By making it drop from her without a nohit, it becomes absurdly busted, making every other pre-ML summon weapon practically obsolete. Obviously it could just get nerfed, but I think having it drop from Moon Lord 25/33% of the time makes more sense, so you can still use the pre-ML summon weapons and also keep its strength the same.

Letting players get it early by doing a nohit before ML isn't really a problem- it just makes things a bit less linear, which is something Calamity already wants to do anyway with boss summons being available early.

Similarly to how Suspicious Looking Eyes are put into Gold Chests, putting Desert Medallions into, or replacing the Eyes that already spawn in Pyramid or Desert chests could help guide new players into knowing about the Scourge, considering the removal of the guaranteed desert entrance makes it a bit more difficult to even know anything is under the desert, and makes the Sunken Sea even more obscure than it already is.

Similarly, labs have a major issue of being fairly obscure unless you stumble upon exactly the Large Planetoid, as the small labs are surprisingly rare for when they're supposed to be found in progression, rarer than even Glowing Mushrooms biomes! With the increased size of Glowing Mush biomes it's easy to find 2 or even 3 before finding a single small lab! In my most recent run, I managed to visit every single major lab in preHM, and didn't see a single small one until late into Hardmode, and the only reasons I could find all the big ones is that I knew them and the Lab Seeking Mechanism already existed! Either small labs need to have their spawn rates increased (since Large is the default world type, this seems like a Small world compatibility holdover), small labs should have their own, easier-to-accidentally-find locator, NPCs should mention labs and the Seeking Mechanism, or you could add Lab Seeking Mechanisms to Gold Chest drop tables to hint the player in on the labs even existing.

Make it so that inferna cutter and grax retain the purity ability (In the case of grax you could have right click cycle between attacking, using as a tool, or purifying kind of like the ark weapons)
I understand that by the time you upgrade to inferna cutter you'll likely have access to the clentaminator, however using that can be costly whileas axe of purity's right click is free, and also a bit more of a precision tool incase there's anything you'd want to keep corrupt/crimtane/hallowed for whatever reason.
Plus there's really no reason for an upgrade to remove an integral part of an item.
One way I could see this helping newer players is if someone got axe of purity, saw the upgrade to inferna cutter, then just got disappointed that they cant purify with it anymore.

However, as of currently the ore being generated seems random, which means if you are unlucky you can just have 4-5 planetoids generated with copper ores.

The suggestion is so that the type of ore they generate are at least semi-consistent, where there will be at least one of each type of ore that can be generated, namely: tin, copper, iron, lead, tungsten, silver, gold and platinum.

This way if the player is in need of a specific ore, they will know with certainty that it is there somewhere, instead of taking a complete gamble.

**Rework Fossil Armour into an early pre-boss melee armour**

Pre-boss class specific armours are cool, we can settle on that. They give incentive to explore biomes and they give a good feeling about your class as soon as you start your world. Mage gets to explore the jungle and get a nice set of Jungle armour out of it, summoner gets their cool reworked Wulfrum armour, rogue gets to explore early the neigh-useless ice biome to get an early stealth strike armour out of it, and melee gets... - nothing? the generic ore armours? furthermore, ranger gets two armours made with desert materials?

By reworking fossil armour into an interesting melee one (suggested ideas can be incentive true melee, fossil spikes on melee hits, petrify enemies for easier melee combat at the start of the game, and so on) we can both leave rangers focus on the much more interesting Desert Prowler armour and give melee classes the early game armour tailored to their class that they deserve.

**Make Yharon Give A Small Telegraph Before Teleports At The Location It Will Teleport To (when initiating bullet hell or teleport charge)**

This is just to make the fight more fair and much more intuitive at learning Yharon's pattern, rather than only through repeating unreasonable amount of attempts or read on Wiki; meanwhile for Veteran players this do not really make the fight easier as they already know the pattern anyway.

Yharon's teleport for initiating bullet hell is always consistent: it teleport above the player after doing a roar, just the lack of telegraph make it non-obvious to new player that they should avoid going up when it is happening.

Yharon's teleport charge is the same deal as it always cycle through a very consistent pattern, just it can again, be very non-intuitive for new player; as unless one read about the Wiki it can be difficult to find out that Yharon is following a pattern in the first place.

Giving the teleport a short telegraph at the location where Yharon will teleport to (as in really just a split second) while seems minor will make it much more fair especially for new player so that the teleport will not just be a 'surprise mechanic' that can only be learnt through fight knowledge (aka just fight it 100 times and just know the pattern), but rather can also be react to.

The Draedon Arsenal weapons are not replicable either, setting them apart from the rest of the weapons as the only ones (to my knowledge) unable to be replicated. I can see how this could be a problem considering the charge mechanic, however I do not see why this cannot be set to a default 0% just like when it is crafted (or pulled from mods like cheat sheet, which do allow you to pull Draedon Arsenal Weapons).

**Make Providence Delete Magma Blobs When Transitioning Phases**

Providence is such a fun fight, my favorite in the game. Every time I die to this boss I never get mad and always acknowledge “yeah, that’s my fault for dying there”. But there’s one small thing that keeps me from saying this is the perfect boss fight. When Providence changes phases from her fireball bombardment to a radial holy or attack, every projectile she has fired gets destroyed. This is good because it allows you to draw all your focus to a somewhat difficult to dodge attack. Except for the small, sometimes unnoticeable, molten blobs, which aren’t deleted during this phase change. Due to their lingering nature, it can be very hard not to accidentally step on one of these while focusing on her radial bullet hells. While in other phases these plops are fine, but in this phase it’s strange that every other projectile gets deleted besides this one. Another way to remedy this is to make these blobs more visible, their translucence coupled with the tinted daytime background can make them hard to see sometimes.

**Rework/Change the Pattern of Devourer of Gods Phase 2 Grid Laser Walls (to allow dodging while being mobile)**

With DoG gaining the ability to consistently fire laser barrage during Phase 1 and Phase 2, the problem with Phase 2 huge laser wall (the one in grid-like pattern) being contradicting with the rest of the fight had been more significant than before.

DoG with the most recent rework, turn him into a very mobile fight where the player are incentivize to stay moving consistently while accounting for DoG's own movement, with laser barrage forcing you to make immediate decision to reconsider your option and reposition accordingly. The flow of the fight feels very fast pace and agile, and the fight feels very satisfying.

However, the Phase 2 grid laser wall completely contradict the rest of the fight, as you are suddenly being forced to come to complete halt and requires very precise positioning between the grid pattern lasers with little to no warning. This completely breaks the flow from the rest of the fight.

The suggestion is not to 'remove' the grid laser wall, but rather rework the pattern to one where you can dodge while being mobile/continue moving; or to keep the grid pattern but make the lasers come in a way that dodging while mobile is an option (currently if you try to move during walls, the lingering lasers will hit you).

You can buy them from the Traveling Merchant, but only on a full moon. These requirements are very situational and you have to be very lucky to get the frost barrier from either methods. You also can't reset the Traveling Merchant's shop by using the Cosmolight, so you have to get a Traveling Merchant on the night of a full moon. This makes crafting the armor set very tedious, since I like to use the best equipment I can before fighting the next boss, which in this case would be Supreme Calamitas/Exo Mechs.

**Give Statis Ninja Belt and Above (Master Ninja Gear's Post-ML upgrades) the Component and Effect of Magiluminescence**

Magiluminescence have the effect of greatly increasing mobility by improving both acceleration and deceleration (you speed up and slow down faster). It is an amazing accessory that is underused as it is too niche to be used especially entering Hardmode since its effect is no longer worth an accessory slot (over just say +damage).

Statis Ninja Belt on the other hand is a very mobility-focus dash option with components such as Frog Leg (Frog Gear), longer dash and so on, however pales in comparison to its counterpart Asgard's Valor/Aegis which have debuff immunity, knockback immune and also a ram.

Thus, I feel that in an attempt to buff and also extend the longetivity of both accessories, Statis Ninja Belt can be given the component and effect of Magiluminescence which also fits ninja belt's style of being incredibly mobility focus. This addition will help the accessory feel much better, especially that it helps with "overdashing" (the dash is too long and end up dashing into another attack) by helping with deceleration.

**Remove or greatly reduce the boost to blood moon spawn rates caused by Death mode**

While it may be somewhat fun to fight hundreds of enemies, it's not fun to be forced into it, completely unprepared. Death mode blood moons boost spawn rates so high that there are typically over 100 enemies detected nearby with the radar, and about 30 right next to you at any time. This makes blood moons more of an annoyance than a challenge, as there are so many enemies that you can't do anything while a blood moon is happening, and you're forced to wait it out if you don't have cosmolight. It's inherently impossible to balance, since enemies that are a fair challenge in regular numbers are going to be nearly unbeatable when there are 100 of them. Force town safety also doesn't work for this, and blood moons can't be skipped in prehardmode, or even fast-forwarded with beds. Extreme spawn rates are still possible with zerg potions, so nothing would be lost from removing or reducing this, but Death mode would become way less annoying.

Instead of merging the Soaring Insignia’s flight time and making it a speed item (which calamity already has plenty of), it should be a flight buff but at a cost. This could be done in a similar way to Dimensional Soul Artifact. For instance, it could be “You Have Infinite Flight However you have 50% reduced movement speed”. The item could also be given the ability to hover, making its purpose seemingly be for exploration and building while still having a nerf to reduce how OP it would be in boss fights.

**Dynamic Whip Tag**

(First off, I am not sure whether the game allows one to add additional functions into the damage calculation and even if, the technical realization may be too difficult and in that case, just ignore this).

While trying to balance the unofficial calamity whips mod to find something somewhat balanced for the already strong summons and the increased risk of playing with whips instead of focusing only on dodging, I thought about how to maybe best handle the whip progression so that whips do provide an advantage at all stages in the game but also keep the buff relatively constant. The problem with that would be that either early whips barely do anything except being a replacement for classless weapons or that endgame whips are barely stronger than early game ones and must be carried by their own damage.

One potential solution would be to change how whips affect damage from Damage = MinionDmg * WhipMult (for examle 1.2) to Damage = min(MinionDamage * WhipMult, MinionDmg + Cap).
This change means that the damage added by a whip tag is always some multiplier, unless the damage added exceeds some cap. This means that early game whips can improve damage by a good amount but barely do anything lategame ("Ah, lemme make my god devouring worm summon 20% stronger by hitting a target with some jungle vine and hornet stingers held together by duct tape").

Additionally, if people complain too much about multiplicative whip tags being almost useless for weapons like blade staff, then we could take this a step further using min(MinionDmg + Cap, max(MinionDmg * WhipMult, MinionDmg + WhipFlat)). This gives the whip flat tag damage which could be scaled to not be broken for the few low DMG hitters but for most summons the multiplicative bonus is bigger than the tiny tag bonus and makes it work like normal.

TL;DR: idea to enforce reasonable progression with whip tag damage caps and maybe even give stuff like blade stuff room to exist without being OP

**Introduce a Scaling System (similar to damage reduction) for Movement Speed (so we can finally buff items that give movement speed)**

To clarify the current damage reduction (DR) system basically make it so DR give less direct benefit for the later point of DR you have (eg: you have like 20% DR, but it actually only give ~15% in benefit).

While seem like a straight nerf, this is come with the intent of being able to buff movement speed item without them becoming overpowered in mind.

The current state of movement speed is basically that movement speed (MS) don't really do anything at low value; however, once you reach a certain "threshold" (it is a high number, like around 180~200% +), it starts to increase your actual speed by mad, which is why many MS items give pitiful amount of MS right now.

The intention of this suggestion is so these MS giving items (especially those with its entire focus on giving speed, like Reaver Armor) can finally not be restricted to low numbers due to fear of the player breaking the sound barrier.

**Remove Tenebris and Depth Cells or Differentiate Them From Lumenyl**

After defeating Calamitas, 3 materials spawn in the Abyss; Tenebris, Depth Cells, and Lumenyl. Currently, Lumenyl is the easiest to obtain; both dropping from enemies and glowing brightly while growing off of walls. Depth Cells drop exclusively from enemies, and Tenebris is a slightly darker version of Planty Mush that grows into it like how Chlorophyte grows into Mud Blocks.

While it makes sense to have a Crystal Shard type resource, an Ore Type resource, and a general drop from enemies (arguably paralleling the Crystal Shards, Souls of Light, and Hallowed Ore of the Hallow), the problem is ALL OF THESE ARE FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL. They are all used in the exact same recipes, with the exact same ratios, (with the small exceptions of Depth Swarmer and Silva armor) and Calamity makes such a small attempt to differentiate the three materials to the point that removing Tenebris and Depth Cells, and making Lumenyl more commonly drop from enemies would functionally change nothing about the Abyss or its progression.

While I think it's interesting Calamity has a block that grows like Chlorophyte, it's nearly impossible to actually see in the Abyss, so unless you completely destroy your shelves, it's easier to just amass it all from fishing. And Depth Cells are just lame. Just another enemy drop. I'd argue simply removing these bloat items would be the easiest thing to do, and for thematic uses like in Silva armor, Planty Mush is just as good for the role, and far easier to obtain.

A more time consuming task would be to actually seperate the three into individual roles, and give them all their own reasons to exist. Also I'd like for Calamity to use the "ore growing" mechanic more often (cough Uelibloom cough Hive Blocks are still unrenewable cough), but Tenebris is arguably a horrid use of it, growing into a block that already grows in small patches. But if they can fix it, I'd prefer it.

1.4 rework of the mace flails made them significantly more interesting, and calamity’s approach—urchin mace has been pretty successful. Therefore reworking other mace-shaped flails would be a great idea. Mainly just Ball o’ fugu and tumbleweed (yateveo bloom and rem’s revenge could do but didn’t ask for approval). Ball o’ fugu could release spikes when laid on the ground like flower pow. And tumbleweed with its projectile could work like drippler crippler (and possibly include that in its recipe?)

They are a massive nuisance if you try to fall into the Abyss while an acid rain is active, and rain can only be stopped by an item from the Abyss.
I recommend something like making them slower, charge less often, or reset their charge if they take knockback. This would go a long way to making the acid rain more fun and tolerable, especially with the rest of its reworked enemies.

**Supreme Calamitas - Give a Slight Pause Before Bullet Hell Starts OR Some Way To Telegraph Where the Initial Wave of Bullets Come From**

Bullet hell projectile are designed to basically spawn slightly out of the screen of the player, and from a dedicated direction that differs for each bullet hell. However, this comes with the problem that the initial (first) wave of bullets of each bullet hell (BH) can be extremely untelegraphed due to many things, notably:

1. It can be difficult to pay attention to Scal's HP bar in the heat of battle; for new player, they don't even know when each BH begin
2. Because bullet hells are spawn outside of the screen, if you are "moving against the bullet hell" (shown in the video), you will get hit before you can react
3. You basically "just have to know" where the bullets of each bullet hell will becoming from (eg: BH2 you must move up, if down = get hit; BH3 you must move down, if up = get hit), which I do not feel is ideal

This small change will relief a lot of very frustrating moment, especially considering that BH projectiles are some of the most damaging one in the Scal fight.

The examples I think of are a slight pause so the player know it is coming (maybe even adding the Scal's laugh in BH1), which will make sense considering she has dialogue for each BH, but unlike Draedon, she don't have voices to indicate phase switch; for telegraph, maybe some sort of "indicator" (eg: lighting up, flames etc) at the screen border will make sense to tell the player that the bullets are coming from said direction (without requiring the bullets to be in screen).

Practically however, it just means that you'll need to place a giant column of blocks to prevent this mechanic that comes off as annoying and tedious. Lets sacrifice a bit of realism to make the fight much more practical so you don't have to build aesthetically defunct one block thick walls every time you fight it for the sake of convenience, while it stays visually pleasing and useful.

**Exo mech rebalancing: why it needs to happen and the root cause from what I’ve seen/asked/experienced**

The primary complaint about exo mechs is the sheer information overload that happens during the fight. The exo mechs also have a very iffy difficulty disparity between the mechs, I think the culprit to both is clear: Artemis.

From any video of draedon fights, asking around here, or my own playthroughs(almost done with my 4th). These all have shown that Artemis is not only the chief cause of this visual clutter or “wtf is going on” but also the only actual mech with a danger threat. Thanatos Apollo and ares are unbelievably easy to dodge, and dodge without hitting another mechs projectiles. Artemis dumps too much projectiles too frequently and it is unbelievably hard to keep track of projectiles. Now of course if you just nerf Artemis to make it not bs, the mechs would be a piece of cake. Artemis from any example I can think of and have found needs to get nerfed hard and the other three mechs need to buffed to make the mechs danger way more equal without one being the oppressive one or without all of them being oppressive. Also nerfing Artemis depending on how it’s done can severely reduce visual clutter and the others can get buffed in ways that don’t add more.

**Make Thanatos' Segment Opening Mechanic/Laser Fires Happen More Consistently**

While meant to be a unique mechanic for Thanatos, what end up happening is that Thanatos' attack (except when Berzerk) become extremely inconsistent, where sometimes it fire like mad while other times it refuse to attack.

This is especially worse where it is invincible in the process which forces the player to intentionally close in and put themselves in bad position for the sake of making Thanatos damageable. On top of that, to compensate the inconsistent damage timing, Thanatos is given Negative Damage Reduction which just end up with many massive melt moment.

Thus, in my opinion Thanatos should just be given consistent segment open timing, while the 'only damageable when segment open' mechanic can be kept. The change isn't really a nerf but just to make Thanatos way more consistent in both attacking and also damage timing. If the devs feel it is still a nerf then maybe can give Thanatos positive DR to compensate.

**Crafting recipe involving the Giant Pearl**

The buff provided by the Giant Pearl is unbelievably helpful, but other accessories you need often prevent you from being able to use it later. Slowing down enemies is quite helpful, as some enemies tend to be fast [scorn eaters for example], and the pearl makes them a bit less dangerous to deal with because it will slow them down. It also allows you to land more hits on the enemy if you're cornered. The upgrades can also increase the radius of the aura, allowing bigger enemies [again, scorn eaters for example] to be slowed down with ease. One of the upgrades could also allow it to slow down regular projectiles a bit as well, but I won't count on that happening.

**Give Upgrade to Fairy Boots Combining Bloom Stone (at some point)**

Bloom Stone is currently not really worth using due to its effect being too specific/weak, as in best case scenerio (only when on ground, daytime) it give 6 life regen, which is still worse compare to Ambrosial Ampoule provide 4 life regen (always), defense, DR and immunity to some debuffs.

Meanwhile it thematically fits perfectly to fairy boots for them to be combined, which also serves the purpose of creating more diversity in boots than just tracers and angel treads (eg: hellfire treads, amphibian boots, fairy boots...)

The upgrade do not have to be instant (so as to not immediately invalidating the value of using Bloom Stone), but if there is an upgrade at some point later then I will say it will still be worthwhile considering Fairy Boots' strong effect.

This suggestion is also to finally give these 'Ancient Relic' or elemental stone accessories a use, as currently except for Rose Stone (which combined into Heart of the Element, but by itself is bad) and Chaos Stone (but really only used in nohit setup due to its downside), other accessories are either just a stat stick (Aerostone for example eventhough it is good) or straight up unusable (Cryo Stone, Bloom Stone).

**Add Time Based DR to all Boss Rush bosses.**

One complaint I have with Boss Rush overall is that by the time you challenge boss rush, your gear at endgame tier has such high dps that you don't really have the time to enjoy and get challenged by the earlier bosses, and to some extent the later bosses too.

Not to mention that with malice AI (which I wouldn't be surprised that they'll get tougher in a later patch so it fits with boss rush tier mobility), the actual fights should be a lot more different than their initial ones outside of boss rush. Therefore giving each boss a more reasonable amount of time to fight would be a good idea instead of just shredding the earlier ones. Plus it's probably a good idea to keep Timed DR unique to Boss Rush and not bosses outside of it.

**NPC - Monster Hunter (Or Headhunter)**

A new NPC that, according to the biome they’re in and the progression state of the game, will sell mob drops according to where he’s placed.

A lot of mods have a lot of quality of life features, and for all I know this probably exists somewhere, but I feel like the idea of having a heavily biome reliant NPC that sells randomised equipment drops (eg. Jellyfish Necklace, Bone Sword, Rod of Discord etc.) could be a unique and helpful addition that might also make other NPCs inventories less convoluted and messy (looking at you, dryad). It also enforces players putting more houses in more biomes, and can encourage exploring into biomes you would otherwise want to just ignore (eg. Granite biome)
Prices could easily be scaled by rarity, and (an interesting function, if at all feasible), you could instead “requisition their services”, sending them out for X amount of in game time to retrieve the item for you.

**Make the Necro Armour more interesting**

As it stands, the Necro armour is quite a bland armour set for the stages of the game it is viable (post-Skeletron as usual, and also post-Plantera due to the Bone Wings synergy buff). It exclusively gives ranged damage buffs and no other stats or effects apart from defence, which makes it very "meh" in comparison to other armours on it's tiers, such as shadow armour with its speed, crimson with it's regen, aerospec with it's fallspeed and fall damage immunity, and the post-plantera armours such as perennial and spectre.

I suggest giving something to necro armour that makes it stand out more from other options at it's tier; make it more desirable to get, and use. Perhaps reworking it alike to the early-hm armours, or simply giving it a wider array of stat boosts, such as movement/jump speed, or ranged velocity, could be done.

**Buff the Gravistar Sabaton and Include it in the Seraph tracer/Angel Treads recipe**

The gravistar Sabaton's quick fall ability could be verry useful for avoiding projectiles but as it stands wasting an accessory slot on it isnt worth it so it doesn't ever get any use, so i propose that it be included in one of the later game boot accessories so you can quickly move down if you need to avoid a projectile. I also suggest that it be buffed to make you fall even faster than it already does, as as it stands the fall speed effect is hardly noticeable and its frankly disappointing that it is as useless as it is. With the proper attention it could become an essential movement accessory for this stage in the game, because being able to fall faster (almost like a downwards dash) would open the player up to a whole new direction of movement, and would generally raise the skill ceiling and fun of boss fights as a whole.

You could even make them there whole own tier of boot between the angel treads and sereph tracers, as they add enough utility to make it more than worth the time, and would also spice up hardmode a little as there is hardly any accessory progression in this stage of the game, at least when compared to pre-hardmode.

**Rework the enemies of the Acid Rain Tier One event**

The first tier of Acid Rain event faces some problems that can make it less engaging and fun than it could be. Some of them are:
-Four out of five enemies do not actively hunt down the player, and can get stuck on the complicated terrain of the Biome.
-The random nature of the event can make most players not prepared to face the Acid Water, where most enemies reside.
-Explosive toads are unable to be fought with true melee, which consist of most melee weapons by that point.
-Sulphurskin potions are too expensive, requiring 15 Sulphurous Sand and 15 Urchin Stingers for a single potion of 2 minutes of duration.

The Goblin Army, another invasion-type event that is fought at around the same time, plays out much smoother and faster paced than the former for a myriad of reasons, including every enemy actively targeting the player (some even teleport to them), lack of difficult terrain like Sulphurous Waters, and lack of preparation like Buff potions or Accessories to combat most of the enemy types.

For these reasons, i suggest giving a rework to the enemies of the first tier of the Acid Rain event to make the experience much more faster paced and enjoyable.
-Nuclear Toads no longer explode via proximity, and instead detonate upon death, conserving the design of the enemy, and removing the annoyance factor of it, specially for melee classes.
-Water Leeches and Acid Eels can leap out of the water in an attempt to fling themselves at the player and dealing contact damage, diminishing the necessity of the players to sink themselves in the poisonous water.
-Radiators are much less common, to compensate, they get a bigger area of effect, with a visual force-field to indicate this, in an attempt to reduce the number of them stuck in hard to reach pockets of water.
-Additionally, reduce significantly the resources it takes to craft the Sulphurskin Potion, and buff it to negate completely the effects of Sulphurous Water.

Amidias' Spark has a great concept, dont get me wrong, but it's held back somewhat. At the moment, it seems like an accessory you put on in the early game when you have an open slot. It's decent for when its available, but it falls off later. Chances are, if you're in the endgame you'll get several that there's really no use for considering the pitiful damage of the sparks. If it had some kind of upgrade, such as making it drop more sparks, or make the sparks deal more damage and inflict a debuff, or combine it with the shark tooth necklace or a similar accessory for the armor penetration, it would be more useful and players would have a reason to keep a spare one, or at least consider not immediately selling it or throwing it away.

**Improve Art Attack or Fabstaff, or make a different Rainbow Rod upgrade**

As of now, there are two items that require the Rainbow Rod, the Art Attack and the Fabstaff, however, both are pretty underwhelming. The Art Attack, while functioning like the Rainbow Rod, deals absolutely pitiful damage even at maximum, and getting it there is a chore in combat. The Fabstaff deals good damage, being in the Shadowspec tier, but its projectile is not guidable, so it doesn't really work as a Rainbow Rod upgrade. The only item that is both viable and has the mechanics of the Rainbow Rod is the Gruesome Visage, but as an Exhumed weapon, it has its own identity and spot in progression, plus it isn't related to the Rainbow Rod at all.

I really love the guidable magic weapon mechanic, and it really hurts that between Moon Lord and SCal, there's basically no options. My ideal answer to this would be making the Art Attack deal a lot more damage, have some other good effects, and most importantly get to its max damage faster than 4.5 seconds, because I really do like the idea of a guidable magic item that deals more damage (maybe inflicts different debuffs?) based on what you draw with it. I don't know if you can request a change to a Dev weapon, I suspect you can't, but making the Fabstaff a guidable weapon would also be nice, since it comes from the Rod, but it has the same problem as the Gruesome Visage of being at the end of progression. Another option could be to make an entirely new weapon that builds on the Rainbow Rod's mechanic later in progression, but I don't know what that would be.

**Sound/visual effect for dodge cooldown ending**

In the mod usually most, if not all of the cooldowns for certain items' functions such as the Angelic Alliance's Divine Bless have sound/visual effects for when their cooldown ends. One thing Calamity changes is dodging. It's changed from random chance to being the next hit you take, and then you would wait for the cooldown to end to dodge the next attack (if hit, of course.) However, there isn't an effect for when this cooldown ends, unlike other items which have cooldowns. This isn't consistent, and with the fact you usually want to focus on not getting hit (especially in things like Providence and SCal's bullet hells) it isn't too viable to bring your focus away onto the top right corner.

**Make Blood Moons More Consistent**

A surprisingly common occurrence in the Calamity community is the chance for Blood Moons to not spawn for the player until very late in the game, and sometimes not at all (though this is very rare). The fact the event is entirely RNG based and the spawner can only be crafted after the event leaves it in a very strange place. With the increased importance placed on Blood Moons by Calamity (Blood Orbs and Bloodflare Cores), making the event more consistently spawn would be a great help to gameplay overall.

This could be done in a number of ways, such as making it a guaranteed spawn after killing a certain boss, like BoC or EoW, by giving Blood Orbs ways to drop outside of the Blood Moon; at rare chances perhaps, so Blood Moons are still needed to farm them, but to allow the spawner to still consistently be crafted, or by changing the spawner recipe to allow it to be obtained without the need for the event itself. All of these would be simple ways of preventing the Blood Moon drought so many players complain about.

**Remove Perennial Ore and Perennial Bars**

Perennial Ore is probably the most useless Ore in Calamity. It is used for mediocre weapons and armor that are easily replaced by other, often better, weapons and armor at that stage of the game. It is rarely used, if at all, for anything other than making Life Alloy. It feels like an extra often skipped ore that is unnecessary for progression.

With the apparent stream of removing features that are underused to reduce bloat in the mod, Perennial Ore seems like a good candidate for removal. When you defeat Plantera you unlock a whole plethora of new items, including drops from the solar eclipse, pumpkin and frost moon events, and the dungeon. In all of that, Perennial Ore sits there, unused. It is just Chloraphyte but different and less useful.

I suggest removing Perennial Ore and most of the items from it. Here is how I think the items crafted from Perennial Bars should be adjusted to meet the change of Perennial Ore and Bars being removed:

• Grax and Life Alloy: Swap Perennial Bars for Chloraphyte as they are locked behind other progression barriers
• Everglade Spray, Hellkite, Mangrove Chakram, Necklace of Vexation: Swap Perennial Bars for some amount of Chloraphyte Bars and Living Shards.
• Everything Else: Has many, much better alternatives at the same progression level, and therefore is unnecessary and should be removed.

Overall, these changes would serve to streamline progression and remove underused items that have many replacements to reduce bloat in the mod.

**Re-add the "moonwalk" feature to the Nights Edge and Excalibur or possibly swords in general**

In vanilla Terraria, the Nights Edge and Excalibur swing slightly different from other swords, they swing in the direction the cursor is instead of which way you're moving. This is sometimes called moonwalking. This is very convenient during boss fights: no other true melee weapon lets you use it effectively while moving. However this feature was removed in Calamity for reasons I can't understand. In my opinion you should be able to moonwalk with every normal sword (a sword without a custom swing animation) The recently reworked Calamity swords do this naturally due to their custom swing animations, so it is not really a new idea either.

**Allow for expert/revengance exclusive drops to be toggled in the mod settings.**

I really like revengance mode but part of the fun for me is being able to get items that are exclusive to that difficulty alone. This is the same with expert mode in which the higher difficulty is compensated by more powerful items. It just feels weird that the items that were previously exclusive to these difficulties (such as the Shield of Cthulhu and Malachite) are now dropped in every difficulty. I am currently using Malachite on a rogue playthough and although it is both incredible powerful and incredibly fun, it is very broken for its tier. This would be fine if it were exclusive and required extra effect to acquire, however in its current form it just feels odd considering the other rogue weapon dropped by the Plaguebringer is far less powerful. I think the ideal solution to this would be a toggle in the mod's settings that would change the drops from being available in every tier to being only available in specific difficulties along with re-adding the exclusive rarities that distinguishes them. This would also help to cut down on the bloat that is found in most bosses as they are not only dropping their regular items but also their expert and revengance exclusive ones as well.

**Create a separate mod that only includes the QoL changes**

I love Calamity a whole lot, but one thing that always discourages me from trying other mods is having to try and find different mods that try to recreate the quality of life stuff Calamity adds without needing to have it constantly installed. While there are also many other mods that have similar effects, not all of them are available, and also not all of them are implemented as well as Calamity. Such as the instant Moon Lord summon being a completely separate item, and recipes for gear being completely different and often times unfair.
Such QoL changes would be:

• Slight boost to new player stats/Starter Bag
• All boss summons are non-consumable
• Weapon Proficiency
• Planetoids, maybe?
• and much more
  Being able to access these changes outside of Calamity would be fantastic, and of course, there could be a config menu for which ones to keep or not.
  Or if not, and the devs would like to focus on more important things, you could simply go to the "Vanilla Changes" page from the wiki, and then just copy/paste everything listen there into the mod. (I would probably do this myself if I had access to the code)

**Make Empress of Light’s Everlasting Rainbow Attack Less Annoying**

The Everlasting Rainbow attack is probably one of the worst in the entire fight. Most of the attacks are very dodgable, however the Everlasting Rainbow is extremely annoying because of the trails.

The problem is that they look like just particle effects yet they damage the player, and it almost seems like a Fargo’s Soul Mod circular attack. The second problem with the trails is that there is very little space between the end of each trail and the next star in the attack.

I suggest shortening the trail to make it easier to dodge as well as a visual change making what will damage you more distinguished from what is just a particle effect.

**make the calamity style boss bar show the shield percentage left on the lunar pillars**

the vanilla boss bar style already does this, and for those who aren't aware of or willing to download the better boss bar mod, it would be great if calamity's boss bar showed that percentage, or at least a remaining enemy count (which iirc is a 1:1 between enemies and % anyways). without it, it feels kind of blind with how much progress you have left, especially because the enemies at different tiers don't spawn immediately.

• non-consumable boss and event summon items(maybe except for all bosses after moonlord)
  -Ability to buy event summoning items
  I don't like these changes because:
• non-consumable boss summoning and event items devalue alternative ways to summon the boss (larva of the queen bee, independent arrival of mechanical bosses at night, perforator cyst, martian probe, etc.) and remove time to farm resources for them, and farming is part of the terraria
  but it's probably not right for all players, so i want to be able to disable them at least for myself, sorry for my bad english.

**Add a Devourer of Gods in the background of the sky, similar to easter eggs you can see in backgrounds, like demon eyes and special clouds**

I feel like this could be a fun change, in vanilla terraria you can occasionally see demon eyes flying around in the background, which always made me smile as it's quite a fun little thing. So I wondered, could there be a Devourer of Gods that occasionally portal hops (lore accurate) in the background to snatch something - some sort of prey - and quickly exit again. It wouldn't provide any benefits or negatives, just a fun thing that has a small chance of happening for new players think "what was that", and veterans to think "oh i know you". I understand if this isn't a necessary change, so wouldn't be implemented, but I think it'd be fun.

**Buff "Luxor's Gift" for Summoners.**

As many of you know, Luxor's Gift is an incredibly powerfull accessory. It is pretty carries for most of pre-Hardmode since it gives you more damage options and increases your overall damage by a ton in preHM.
That is unless you play Summoner. On Summoner this Accessory only spawns a single glyph that rams into enemies. While also having the worst minion Attack Pattern it is very underwhelming compared to its a.e. Meele or Rogue Effect.

**Allow Reaper Sharks to drop Reaper Tooth at any point in the game.**

Currently, lower Abyss monsters only drop special loot after Polterghast has been defeated: Drops such as "Reaper Tooth". This seems contrary to the non-linear design Calamity attempts to achieve. Not only that, but it's potentially infuriating for new players. As a new player, I was enthralled by the terrifying Abyss. It's my favorite part of the mod. After attempt after attempt, I finally beat a Colossal Squid. Then a second one. Then a Reaper Shark. I felt punished and betrayed when I realized that I wasn't just getting unlucky drops; I was prevented from the appropriate drops I was due because I hadn't beaten a specific boss yet. This is not good.
For the sake of balance, we should prevent players from getting most lower Abyss loot until after Polterghast is defeated, but the Reaper Tooth is an appropriate drop for the challenging area. It requires an Ancient Manipulator for most of the crafts, so players must defeat the cultists anyway to make full use of it. If players are able to subdue a Reaper Shark at any point in the game, they should be rewarded with a Reaper Tooth.

Quoted from Calamity's Suggestion Don'ts: "Fighting a boss earlier than intended is more challenging than going through normal progression, and receiving powerful loot for doing it is to reward the player for accomplishing it."

**Make the Ravager's rock pillars and flame pillars have less health or have them spawn farther away from the player.**

Normally, when fighting the Ravager, you would need to run away to avoid his fists and homing nukes, and in the last phase, to avoid his slams. However, whenever he lands after a jump or a slam, either two rock pillars or two flame pillars appear on either side of the player. Albeit a bit far away, they can still be hard to avoid due to how fast you can run at that stage of the game, causing you to run right into them and be hurt because of it. I feel like it would be a good idea to make the rock and flame pillars that the Ravager spawns have lower health to make killing them a more viable option, or make them spawn a bit farther away from you, to avoid them trapping you and to give you more time to steer away from the pillars when they spawn.

**Make sharpening station work for rogue weapons**

Alright, this might sound a little random at first but there are some good reasons to do it,
so, we already have some melee stuff that applies to the rogue class (Flasks, crumbling/shattering potions) so this would further go into calamity's already existing design philosophy with the rogue class
Additionally, as it stands, rogue does not currently have any class station, which conflicts with vanilla's design philosophy, and sharpening station is right there so.
And, this makes sense from a logical standpoint too, sharpening station works for melee because you can sharpen a sword, it should work for rogue too since you can sharpen a knife.
In conclusion, making sharpening station apply to rogue weapons would benefit the class and make it fit in better with the other 4 classes.

**More naturally spawning boss conditions**

I love the sheer amount of bosses that Calamity adds, though it's really hard to get to fight them all without the use of Boss Checklist or the Wiki. I would like it if more Calamity Bosses followed the Vanilla way for boss summons, is that there is at least one way to summon them without needing to craft a summon item. (Of course, the only exception is the mech bosses, but even so, the item has a chance to drop from enemies)
Some examples of this could be:

• Crabulon spawning on it's own randomly in the Mushroom Biome (If the player has at least 200 health)
• Brimstone Elemental spawning once a set amount of Brimstone enemies are defeated
• Calamitas Clone giving a message similar to Eye of Cthulhu one minute before spawning, once AS, BE, and Cryogen have been defeated
• Once hardmode initiates, a giant encasing of ice spawns in the ice biome, and attempting to break any blocks with your pickaxe for a bit causes Cryogen to spawn. (Once Cryogen is defeated, that could instead be where the Archmage is located, and you "save" him by right clicking him similar to the Goblin Tinkerer)
• Sandstorms can appear naturally again, and Desert Scourge is the only enemy that can spawn during it, spawning after a random amount of time in the biome
• Attempting to unlock the Astral Chest in the dungeon will provide the player with the spawner for Astrum Aureus
• Dragonfolly spawns naturally on the Jungle Surface once Moon Lord has been defeated
• The Altar of the Accursed is located within the depths of the Brimstone biome, and can only be mined and activated once Yharon has been defeated

Of course these are just suggestions on how it could be implemented, but regardless, I really would like to progress through the game without needing to manually craft each spawner.

**Introduce Some Sort of Herbs and Fishing Farm Automation System**

While seems like a weird idea, here is the rationale:

Many games with heavy planting/farming usually have huge payouts, but for Terraria you only do them for restocking consumables, and due to how vanilla plant and fishing system is, to make them more interesting will require huge revamp/rework too.

Thus, we go the opposite approach: satisfaction from automation; such as games like Factorio where while initially you have to do things yourself, you can slowly optimize to the point of complete automation. All that the devs do is to just make sure it do take effort, such as crafting, progression, upgrades cost and so on.

The idea is not exactly out of the way either, as we already have an appropriate theme of Draedon Lab, with the many instance of Biome Labs being closely related to the idea. We also already have 'automation' in the form of Draedon Power Cell Factory which produce cells without any input.

**Add a completion meter for the Slime Rain**

The Slime Rain is the only event in which it can be completed by killing a certain amount of enemies that doesn't have a meter to show completion. Such meters have been added in the past to existing events like Boss Rush and Acid Rain, so adding a meter for the Slime Rain doesn't just increase consistency, but it also helps keep track of the enemies killed since the Slime Rain can be such a long event early game.

The Skyline Wings are a common staple of most Calamity playthroughs (at least in my experience) but one thing they lack that almost every other wing set provides is a stat boost if worn with corresponding armor.

**Refine Some of The Drops and Drop Rate From Fishing Crates (notably Ore and Bars)**

Mainly to fix some of the inconsistency with some crates in terms of loot.

Corrupt/Crimson Crate: Not dropping Demonite/Crimtane ore or bar
Obsidian/Hellstone Crate: Not dropping obsidian nor hellstone (while Brimstone Crate drop both)
Brimstone Crate: Drop Bloodstone but not Blood Orb (can also be an opportunity to get non-bloodmoon blood orb in case blood moon refuse to start)
Hallowed/Divine Crate: Drops Unholy Essence (post-Provi) but not Hallowed Ore/Bar post-3 mechs

On top of that, many of the crate ore/bar drops are also in extremely pitiful amount to the point of impossible to sustain. For example (can seen from picture) Brimstone Crate's hellstone drop rate (same for Astral Crate for Astral Bar); while some Calamity ores are much more generous (eg: Jungle Crate drop 4-7 Uelibloom bar at 15% or 16-28 ore at 20%, same for Cryonic from Frozen Crate and Scoria from Abyssal Crate)

Refining/Fixing some of the inconsistency in these drops will make fishing actually much more viable as a method of ore replenishment.

**Make it that when Providence is summoned in a hallow-underworld hybrid biome, she would be in the hell form**

In parts of hell that’s directly beneath the hallow, the enemies would drop souls of light, so that is technically a hybrid biome. And when you try to spawn Providence there, she would be in the hallowed form, attacking with deathray and dropping the wings. Clearly, players who summoned her this way intend to spawn the underworld version and just happen to be under the hallow. And the V-shaped hallow typically ends near the middle of hell—which is also where most players dig hellevators or demon conch’s destination, in other words, places you’d be in when you’re trying to reach hell as fast as possible. So this is really annoying when you have to fight her hell form multiple times and you’ll have to move away quite a bit to summon her.
In other words, her summoning now prioritizes hallow over hell, just swap them.

Make Old Duke-Duke Fishron be spawned by a non-consumable item.

Even though the BloodWorm is just like the truffle worm, Old duke takes many attempts and doing the acid rain- looking for the Bloodworm is really slow and troublesome. If they got changed to be similar to Seafood, it would be much easier to grind and complete.

Another thing that might be just as good or even better is increasing the spawn rates of truffle worms-Blood worms. Even though the spawn rates as is are fair, they could be higher for a compensation so you don’t run out of them and have to grind to grind again.

Slightly shift old Duke scales bonuses to more dmg% and less crit%

The current max bonuses it can provide are 28% damage and 14%crit. It is set up to not work well with summoners since the crit bonus takes a large portion of the cake. In theory it could have beautiful synergy with mutated truffle.

Scales also has synergy with omega blue.

The tentacles either can't crit or have 100%crit anyways with abyssal madness.

Adjusting scales could buff niche low health builds, open the item for the summoner class and could improve synergy with certain items like truffle and omega blue.

**Have The Regenator 'Make The Player Cannot Have More Than 50% HP' (Instead of Reduce Max HP by 50%)**

Basically say you have 600 max hp:
Old Regenator = (600x50%) = 300 max hp
Suggested = you have 300 / 600 HP, but cannot heal above 300 in any way.

While seems to make no difference, the main distinction is that this will make the item being able to benefit from 'low on life effect', such as Old Duke Scale, Necklace of Vexation and so on while still keeping the same low hp downside.

The intend is to introduce more build option, especially for items with effect depend on HP value which generally are underused in their current state due to them being massively inconsistent.

A Low Life build support like this will be what is needed to give the push for those items to shine.

It's hard to tell when you're getting the DSO crit without looking at the healthbar or the damage value on hitting an attack. This problem is especially evident when you're fighting a boss like Devourer of Gods which is offscreen for a lot of the fight, which makes it hard to tell unless you are watching over the boss healthbar while the boss fight is going on.

A way to execute this would be a small ping sound, similar to tf2 crits.

Buff mutated truffle

In general the player base appears to think that truffle underperforms. However a minion acc with an implemented threshold interaction is a very unique item and could probably be utilized more if buffed in any way.

Buff options could be

-increased base dmg
-buffing the part that makes this acc unique, the below 50% form. The enraged form currently isn't that much faster than the regular form so it could benefit from even more speed, it could benefit from additional attack patterns or from new properties like being able to crit/benefit from the players crit bonus

Exo mech arena “catalyst”

Frame of the idea:
This can take any form, whether it’s an item, or making the crystyl crusher with ashes of annihilation (post scal pre exo). It could be a small pat on the back for doing scal first.

The problem (imo):
Of course, it takes ages and ages to destroy so much terrain, and I believe this is a problem. Hear me out:
The style of the fight is obviously much easier when falling and continuously moving in 1 direction. The fact that it becomes exponentially easier with the more space you have, it makes the fight more of a test of patience rather than skill; the more hours u spend destroying terrain, the easier time u will have, to an immense level.

The QoL mod argument:
Yes I’m aware that things like luiafk and Tedit exist, and that’s a perfectly valid argument. This suggestion is to kinda see if many people prefer to not use these mods. In my case, I like to do many of my play throughs with no QoL mods to experience calamity to its fullest, so a calamity item for exo arenas would be amazing for me. I guess it just depends on how many other people do the same.

**Add a Cosmilite Pickaxe and/or Drill**

While I expect that a Cosmilite Pickaxe will likely be added naturally in the future when the Distortion Biome is added, I'd like to argue that even now, a pickaxe on this tier would be very useful, and thematically appropriate.

Currently, when it comes to pick progression, of all stages in the game, post-Moon Lord is the strangest. The first pickaxe you get post-Moon Lord is the Blossom Pickaxe... and that's it. It's literally just Blossom. Sure Crystyl Crusher also exists, but it's DEV-TIER. The only thing you'd use it for is Boss Rush at the moment. Furthermore, the pickaxe functionality is rarely used. It's closer to a Rocket Launcher with destructive ammo in it's current form, used for clearing out large areas.

On top of this, literally every other bar in the game has a set of associated tools, except for Cosmilite. Blossom is nice, but as you progress further, arena demands and resource demands become much greater, so having some sort of intermediary between Blossom and Crusher would be very useful to a majority of the playerbase. Especially since without it, you currently mine Auric Ore with the pickaxe from Providence. This is a several tier jump, and it feels rather odd. The only other tools I can think of with similar longevity are Reaver Shark and Pwnhammer.

Lastly, and more of a desire than a true part of the suggestion, after Moon Lord, drills are unceremoniously dumped into the trash and forgotten. Of all the bosses that it would make sense to have a drill be crafted from, I think the Devourer of Gods would be it. The way he tunnels through the world and dimensions is very reminiscent of a drill, and even if the devs would rather keep Blossom as the only pickaxe, this provides a decent alternative to allow Cosmilite to still fill a tool niche.

**rework Laudandum into something that has to do with Rev+**

Launandum is an item that works very similar to Heart of Darkness and Stress Pills. The latter 2 items both have something to do with Rage/Adrenaline, which makes sense as they are Rev+ only items, and Rage/Adrenaline are Rev+ mechanics.

Laudandum is not only the (in general) weakest of these items, it also has nothing to do with Rev+ or it's mechanics. Currently, Laudandum takes some debuffs and turns them into buffs, that's it. It could become a non-Rev+ item without any changes and everything would still work.

I suggest making Laudandum do something with Rage/Adrenaline. Such a rework could be: "adrenaline doesn't go away if you take (x) damage or less while it's not fully charged" or "speed increases by (x) while rage mode is active". These are just some examples.

The Laudandum's current effects are very unique, but they shouldn't be locked to Rev+. Either making Laudandum non-Rev+ and then adding another Rev+ item could work, or reworking Laudandum and adding another item that works similar to how Laudandum works now (that isn't Rev+) could also work.

**Have the Bloodfin not be consumed upon pressing the "Quick Buff" button.**

The Bloodfin is a nice alternative to the Supreme Healing Potion, as it trades off 10 health healed for a neat little buff that increases health regeneration. One thing that has prevented me from wanting to use it more often is the way it acts as a "buff" potion. Myself and a lot of players will often use the "Quick Buff" button before starting a boss fight. This will consume the Bloodfin as well, despite it being more of a "Healing Potion with an extra buff" than a "Buff Potion".

Essentially, this means you have to either use your buffs one by one to avoid using the Bloodfin through "Quick Buff", use "Quick Buff" and then put the Bloodfins into your inventory, play the risk of handicapping yourself early into the fight with a whole minute of not being able to use potions, or just not using Bloodfins at all. I feel like changing this so that Bloodfins will not be used with Quick Buff would be less annoying for players who just wanna press their "B" key before a fight starts, and let this niche healing potion become even better than where it is now.

**Remove the hitbox from DoG's head while it's invincible**

1. Due to some transparency bugs, while transitioning to second phase DoG can sometimes be fully invisible after coming out of the portal (example provided), so you some of these times can knock into the head without even knowing this, and so you'll die or take a lot of damage.
2. You can't avoid this without dodges like Black Belt or Evasion or Brain of Cthulhu because the head can't take damage at that moment, which is a bit inconvenient in my opinion
3. It's pointless. Like, literally. No other part of the body deals damage, only the head. Why?

Besides, I feel the current Adrenaline bonus is always too extreme:

Early game = bosses are easier to nohit, and Adrenaline invalidate them further by often allowing you to melt bosses completely
End game = Bosses are absurdly hard to nohit, and the payout usually is not enough to win you the game as it just dont do enough.

Thus, I feel to solve both problem, we ought to break tradition and make Adrenaline ALSO give non-offensive buffs that are relevant.
Some example of such buffs are:

Increased Damage Reduction during Adrenaline;
Reduced defense damage taken during Adrenaline;
HP recovery based on missing HP; and so on.

The intend is to make Adrenaline much more of a comeback mechanic for performing some outstanding dodges in dire situation, rather than purely as a win-more mechanic.

so my suggestion is that we make it a post polterghast, and it make more since for it to be because from the sprite you can see that the when you use the Zenith you just throw the all the blades that it's made from and the extra Zenith blade, which is the literal manifestation of the journey from the start of the game, which indicated by the copper short sword, to the end of it, which indicated by meowmere and star furry which are dropped by the moon lord, and everything inbetween, which indicated by the other swords, holding them together. so wouldn't using Ruinous soul, which is a soul-ish material, make more sense? the Ruinous soul uses the swords to manifest the 'soul' of the journey form the start till that point which hold all of them together? much better than just stitching them together with some fancy metal.

make providence always drop 4+ profaned moonlight dye when defeated at night

right now providence drops 3-4 dye in all modes, but 4 is needed to make the effect as intense as possible. i feel like always making her drop 4 (or more) would be nice so unlucky players wouldnt need to fight her again to get the full effect of the dye.

**Change Both Pre-Hardmode Oathblades to face the cursor direction**

they're melee weapons, meaning you to be close to the boss, and since they face the direction you're running, its hitbox usually can't line up and hit. To change this would to simply allow running in the other direction while swinging the sword in the opposite. Also bladecrest won't target with its scythes if they're shot away from the enemy, another reason to add a way to turn around while still moving in the opposite direction, made slime god a lot harder.

**Remove the Debuffs that Prevent You From Fighting on Brain of Cthulhu**

When debuffs like Distored on Slime God Core, and Cursed on it's slimes get removed, it makes me wonder why the hell Brain of Cthulhu gets to keep the same debilitating debuffs.

Weaker debuffs with these kinds of effects were removed from bosses for less. Even if I can't convince people to get the physical aspects of BoC's fight overhauled (probably one of the lamest fights in the mod, only emphasized by the debacle with its Malice overtuning), I cannot imagine a single reason why allowing Brain to have a random chance to prevent you from using your weapons at all is just part of the fight. This is literally just a hold over from vanilla, and it has no place in Calamity's current design philosophy.

Rover Drive has recently been reworked to stand out more on its own. Its inclusion in The Absorber is even weirder now because the accessory does not inherit ANY of Rover Drive's effects, and Rover Drive is the only mechanical material within an array of entirely organic materials.

On the other hand, The Sponge is not only a mechanical / organic hybrid, but also has Rover Drive's visual effect in it.

**Make Adrenaline and Rage Accessible Through Difficulty Toggle In Normal and Expert Mode**

While this might sound extremely weird, but here are why I think it make sense:

i) the mod is actively being balanced around Revengeance Mode with no Adrenaline and Rage usage, this means that Expert/Normal Mode WILL ALWAYS be easier than designed.

Meanwhile people who are playing on Expert or Normal Mode are likely either want to have an easier time or are still accustoming to the mod. Having fun is much more of a priority for them than a perfectly balanced game, and they can easily toggle Revengeance Mode if they feel it is too easy.

ii) It helps Normal/Expert player make the jump to Revengeance Mode, as they don't have to (re)learn how to use Adrenaline and Rage.

iiI) The mod is pushing towards the direction of not having anything locked behind difficulty, this suggestion fits this approach too.

iv) The mod can finally add interesting effect on weapons that interact with adrenaline or rage, as the feature is now available for everyone in any mode.

**A specific set of items that would allow you to locate the Biome shrines, such as how the Seeking Mechanisms allows the player to find the Arsenal Labs relatively easily. **

In addition, the biome shrine items should be given upgrades which may or may not integrate them into existing crafting trees.

Usually, players skip them because of how much effort most are to attain, with the items not being included in any particular crafting tree also being a reason they're usually not hunted after. By adding another set of Seeking Mechanisms for shrines, players would actually go for the contents of the shrine much more often.

These changes should happen because they would create a great amount of incentive to get these items, as well as making them much more valuable, viable, and important to the player base as a whole.

Why not give T Hanos some probes to assist it, like how it's predecessor has it's own probes? Would be fun to relive the hell of probe swarms at post-moonlord.
A main thing to note is that they're not active while there is two other mechs already fighting alongside Thanatos. Possibly activating on the final phase where Thanatos is the last mech remaining.

Another thing is, these probes can help out to prevent cheesing, like going out of the mech's reach or compensating for it's negative dr. Depends from what the devs' want to do with it.

Graveyards have been used before as a place to acquire items from the opposite evil, so why not allow the Hive Mind and Perforator Hive summons to be swapped?
Since their summons are made specifically from their individual materials and it's generally not easy or convenient to wait for a Cyst spawn in the evil island, the opposite evil boss is often impractical. Adding the possibility of swapping summons in a Graveyard would allow players to summon the opposite boss more easily.
This becomes specially relevant in Hardmode, when said bosses drop the new evil materials (Cursed Flames and Ichor).

**An accessory/a way to keep full charge on draedon weapons on the go/mid combat**

Draedon weapons are a unique type of weapons, where you need to charge them to use em and for full capablity. This restriction hinders their usage, since it is common for them to run out when doing the mundane tasks (events, bosses, exploring)

Later on the playtrough this comes a huge issue, when fights like scal and exos start lasting around 3-5 mins per kill (and don't get me even started on bosh-rush). Thus, the power of em starts to drop/totally stop when at 0% charge

This could be changed with a way to keep their full charge on/charging em mid combat

Example ideas:

-Allow draedon fuel to go to ammunition box, using em to keep the charge at max
-A new accessory, which example you can put draedon fuel into and use that to charge weapons mid combat
-A tool of sorts, which allows charging while exploring

Using this in combination with a max heart statue set up is comparable to activating god mode, healing 360HP every 10 seconds with a max set up if I’m not mistaken. Comparing this to the omega healing potion which is intended to heal for 300 every 60 seconds and you can see how broken this is. For reference, a bad player like me was able to first try DoG, Yharon, SCal and the Exo Mechs on revengance mode for my first time playing it, as soon as I was able to obtain and craft a lot of these (relatively cheap for this stage in the game) potions. Disabling their ability to suck in hearts during a boss battle is a good change I believe as it fixes this incredibly OP cheese method, as well as maintaining the utility of the potion.

Capping said pick power is odd because most other methods of mass mining (like rockets that can break tiles) aren't really capped, and this also applies all the way to late game (Mortar and Bouncing Mortar Rounds).

Here's where my suggestion comes in: make it so the pogo ability actually works ONLY ON TILES and NOT on bosses/enemies. Here I am, trying to do a True Melee run because it's fun/challenging, but my only strategy for WoF is stalling for adrenaline and then getting 30-45% of it's HP in one go and leaving with 100 of my OWN hp and a dream to stall long enough for a 2nd adrenaline rush.

**Remove Static Refiner**

The Static refiner is just a Solidifier with extra steps. It serves no purpose in the game other than being a waste of Purified Gel.

The main reason for this is that the Static Refiner requires Purified Gel to craft items out of Purified Gel. Having a crafting station use items to craft other things out of those same items doesn't make sense. Crafting stations can be used for progression locks, such as the Ancient Manipulator, however Statigel items are already locked behind Slime God, so it doesn't make much sense to have a special crafting station. It would make much more sense to just remove the Static Refiner and just use a regular Solidifier instead. This would reduce bloat in the mod by removing an unnecessary extra crafting station and would also not alter progression in any way. This also wouldn't cause any issues with themes as the Solidifier is already a crafting station for Gel-themed items.

Note: I understand that there are themed crafting stations for the purpose of making those pieces of furniture, however the Static Refiner can be used for everything a Solidifier can be used for as well, so overall, it doesn't make the game more organized as most other themed crafting stations do.

Yet with Corruption bosses, the generation of the biome is too cramped on the underground side to be able to be used for any boss fights at all. And at the point of progression they're meant to be fought in, excavating and expanding the biome will take way too much time and will be largely irrelevant by Hardmode.

** While the Old One's Army event is active, disable the Minion Damage Reduction when holding non-summoner weapons on Old One's Army Sentries .**

The Old One's Army is structured around the use of sentries like the Lightning Aura Rod to take care of more disposable enemies like goblins and kobolds while the player uses their class weapons to focus on larger threats like the bosses and tougher enemies.

The damage reduction on sentries while the player is holding a non-summoner weapon is entirely antithetical to the design of the event and makes it significantly harder, as the player essentially has to handle the entire army themselves. The Lightning Aura Rod, with its 6 base damage, is dropped to just 1 damage by the reduction. The Cane has 26 base damage and drops to 3.

Old One's Army is a pretty widely disliked event to begin with and this only makes it worse. It wouldn't impact the wider balance of the game or break the event if the Old One's Army sentries were given an exemption to the rule just while the event is active.

There's numerous reasons a player might seek one of these out, and as such it makes sense for them to be detectable by the Lifeform Analyzer, especially since the Sulphurous Sea's generation could result in it spawning off screen out of the player's sight with no way for the Trasher to reach them.

**Incentivize Using the Correct Planter Boxes**

For some reason, despite having a multitude of different planter boxes in the game, each named after a specific herb, they are all functionally identical outside of aesthetics. I think incentivizing the player to use the correct boxes for the correct herbs could be used as an engine to help with the common issue of people being dissatisfied with farming.

Allowing players to either get more herbs when herbs are in the right boxes, have the herbs grow faster, or perhaps even allow herbs in planter boxes to ignore their typical blooming restrictions (ex; Deathweed only bloom during Full Moon/Blood Moon, which is very annoying due to how useful they are, Waterleaf only in rain, etc.) could help vastly with part of one of the more annoying aspects of potion crafting in Terraria, which is important, as the Death Mode difficulty is typically balanced around having these boosts. Furthermore, I think that aligning these changes with improvements to the Planter Box system could be a great way to kill two birds with one stone, since trying to making farming actually enjoyable otherwise would require a massive overhaul of the current farming system.

My suggestion is that any Corruption or Crimson biomes once Hardmode starts instead extend all the way down to Hell, and a random line of Hallow spawns on top of one of the Corrupt/Crimson biomes instead (Since there is at least always 2), similar to how the Astral Infection spawns.
This also is helpful since you most of the time get certain hybrid biomes that don't allow for the grass variant to spawn, like the jungle, which makes farming Pixie Dust a serious pain. Speaking of, this would also remove the fear of the corruption spawning on top of the jungle and slowly eating it inside out.

**Rework Tooth Ball's stealth strike to reflect Perforators closer.**

Tooth Ball and Rot Ball are consumable rogue weapons dropped by Perforators and Hive Mind respectively. Both weapons share the same stealth strike (spawning rain clouds on hit). This makes sense with Hive Mind, but Perforators doesn't have anything to do with rain clouds, and reworking Tooth Ball's stealth strike would help it being thematically more relevant as a Perforators drop.

**Introduce More Ways To Make Having High Mana More Meaningful For Mage**

With how Calamity having a lot of mana cost reduction items across the board, most Mage weapons have very low mana cost and can sustain on mana easily even without manaflower/mana potion spam. On top of that, mana potion also just makes having max mana meaningless as even on mana intensive weapon just spamming mana potions will work fine.

Thus, I think it will be great to introduce more ways to make having more max mana more useful for mage than just "oh there is a mana upgrade, sweet let me grab it".

This might be a specific idea, but one idea I have is to introduce a series of mage-specific buffs that only works while holding mage weapon, where you sacrifice max mana for some useful buffs (ideally defensive/utility only, so it dont become a min-max game with damage buff/mana sickness).

The idea of the tradeoff is of course that when you sacrifice a lot of max mana by using many of these buffs, you will have to rely on mana sickness much more which can stack much quicker when you have low max mana.

Some example idea are:
Shield like Rover Drive; Mana regen when you get hit (that still works while firing weapon); periodic healing similar to rare elemental in a bottle, improve life regen/defense... or even go crazy like have a buff that reduce a lot of max mana but give you mana flower effect without requiring an accessory slot

The execution is up to the devs, and I am just presenting one of the idea I had in mind.

**Change the way dying during a boss works in multiplayer**

In multiplayer, it doesn't matter how much you die as long as one person is alive so the others can respawn, this kinda feels cheap because you can slowly chip away at even if you've died plenty of times, in singleplayer if you die at all the boss battle ends, so multiplayer ends up feeling kinda like your cheating, giving you a hollow victory when you do actually beat the boss, this also discourages people from using builds that aren't based around being defensive.

You could instead make it so that during a boss, you aren't allowed to respawn unless either the boss is killed or everyone dies.
(maybe with some sort of spectate the boss battle thing to make it more fun)

Pros
-Bosses will be more challenging and fun to beat in multiplayer
-Dying during a boss matters a lot more
-Multiplayer boss fights will feel more like singleplayer boss fights (just with multiple people)

Cons
-This change only really applies to multiplayer
-If you die early, it'll be really boring (especially during the longer bossfights in the game)

This solution definitely isn't perfect, but multiplayer bosses are not as fun as they could be.

**A New Purpose for NPCs**

In Terraria, NPCs are a very neat function. They sell stuff, they say funny voice lines, and they (as of 1.4) allow you to teleport between towns you build across your world.
However, this doesn't stop NPCs from being considered almost entirely useless, or at the very least, not being something that deserves any sort of attention. Of the NPCs in Terraria, only the few that have a "bonus function" are ones that get any sort of attention from the community. Take the Goblin Tinkerer; he sells stuff like a normal NPC, and talks like a normal NPC. You know what he does that makes him a character people go to time and time again despite being a seemingly average NPC? He has a second purpose, a function that allows you to reforge your gear to get potentially better stats than they may already have.
My suggestion asks to give EVERY NPC a "second purpose." My goal in asking this is to create an environment in the Terraria Calamity Mod where you don't outgrow your NPCs, your beloved villagers you risked life and limb for in the past to unlock them.
My idea to add a Companion system is one that could potentially solve this problem. It would essentially make your NPCs mobile, giving you more chances to interact with them as well as have them aid you in combat scenarios. They could offer you insight or information you wouldn't have otherwise once you get to know them and talk to them more often. Not only would this be convenient, and helpful, it would also give the NPCs that desired "second purpose".
This idea has multiple ways you could implement it, but it is far from the only thing that you could do to fix the current NPC situation. If you gave the NPCs a new purpose, the Terraria Calamity Mod would be better off for it in its entirety.

**Rework Cinders of Lament**

Cinders of Lament is mid at best and terrible at worst in terms of summon items. It suffers heavily against small targets and the majority of the time spent using the weapon is firing the brothers at yourself rather than them actually attacking the enemy you want them to attack. This causes it to have extremely low DPS compared to other on-tier summon weapons, such as Metastasis and Vigilance. Against larger targets like bosses it can do better, however more often than not it suffers the same fate due to just having low overall DPS.

Another issue is that it seems much more like a magic weapon than a summon weapon, as it doesn't really summon a minion to attack the enemies but actually fires minion-like projectiles. The "minions" don't even home, like at all. I understand Calamity has summon weapons that are not as traditional, but the Cinders of Lament does not even remotely function like a summon weapon.

I suggest reworking the weapon almost completely. I suggest to change its gimmick, so that instead of the brothers actively trying to attack the player, there would be a chance for them to do so. Additionally, to make this gimmick worth it, the closer the player is to the enemy, the more damage the brothers would do, however it would also increase their chance to attack the player.

**Add a way to summon events without needing exclusive items from the event to summon them**

In calamity to summon a Blood moon you need to either craft the item with drops exclusive to the event or get lucky and get it dropped by a mod from the event. A similar story goes for Acid rain and I assume other events, You need either drops or items excusive to the event that if you were in a point where you need a certain drop from the blood moon to progress. (this was my case, I needed to kill eow but there weren't enough of the orbs to spawn in another boss + the fact that the vile mushrooms never spawned, but the dryad sells vile powder on the blood moon) So I just had to afk sleeping waiting for the blood moon to arrive, this took like 20 days or so when I eventually got it. I am in a similar situation now were I need an acid rain to spawn so I can get the sulphurous armour. If the devs could add summons to events that don't need exclusive items from them (e.g. for the caustic tear instead of 5 sulphurous scales it could be 20 acid wood 40 Sulphurous Sand and maybe some platinum or gold. Without this change it feels like the game is much more RNG dependent than anything. I would just like to stop having to AFK watching YouTube while I wait for an event with a 1/360,000 chance every frame to spawn in.

Navystone is much like Marble and Granite in that it has a regular version and a smooth version. However, both Marble and Granite use the Smooth version of each block for its furniture crafting, since the smooth versions are what players are more likely to build with.

As a result, players wanting to build with the Eutrophic furniture set are likely to convert all their Navystone into Smooth Navystone, then realize they made a mistake and have to destroy more of their Sunken Sea to craft the furniture. This is a bit unintuitive.

**Lower the damage of adrenaline initially, then make the upgrades more impactful and the final one still give you the full power of the current adrenaline**

We all know Adrenaline is extremely overpowered early game, as 200% extra damage for 5 seconds can just end the fight right there (And can bring an early boss from full to dead with one adren, which like, dodging easy attacks for 30 seconds to instakill a boss is not fair at all and the reward is way to great for the effort) While later on, it does good damage but not outright cheeses the boss entirely (Around 20% damage to Yharon, skipping brothers/seekers/scelp2 in SCal and doing good damage to her, getting past the all 3 mech phase while fighting Exos, showing adren late game is still fine, which is a nice payout when it's a lot harder to not get hit by later game boss fights, especially SCal which reduces adrenaline regen)

With the Adrenaline upgrade items, you could make Adrenaline start out weaker (say, 100% over 200%) then the upgrades can be used to make it stronger. Using the example of starting out with 100%, can make each Adrenaline upgrade give 50% or something around those lines to eventually still get the full 245% with maxed out upgrades. Just an example, can be whatever values make sense for the devs.

With Adrenaline starting out weaker, it's still very powerful and will help with your DPS against earlier bosses, but not so utterly broken that it obliterates early game bosses, and still keeps the full power of it at endgame where it's fine.

**Make legendary drops guaranteed after a certain number of kills**

It is rather annoying to repeatedly grind the same bosses over a period of time in order to obtain a specific 10% drop.
Given the fact that items like The community requires killing Anahita and Leviathan, which must be summoned through killing an Unknown entity that has a quite low spawn chance and hard to spot in the ocean, then only 10% for the item to drop is quite a pain.

I suggest adding a drop guarantee or pity mechanic into the game, easing the grinding part. It can be like this:

Make a variable "x" and set it 10, then make the drop rate 1/x for The community in this case for example
Every time the boss that drops it is defeated (Anahita and Leviathan), x is reduced by 1 if the item did not drop, making the drop chance increase to 1/9 (and 1/8, 1/7 respectively).
When the item is dropped, instead of resetting x to 10, it should be set to "x+10" to compensate with the increased/guaranteed drop chance while remaining the intended 10% as a rare drop rate. For instance, getting the drop with a 1/6 chance will reduce the drop rate to 1/16

(I am unaware of the legendary rework)

change gem tech armor's gem breaking priority from "last used class" to "last class that dealt damage"

right now you can continue to use the high offensive ability of gem tech while not worrying about losing a certain class. especially with scal, you can just use a weapon belonging to a class you havent specced into much to cause that gem to be broken rather than the classes you have specced into. for example:

scal bullet hell starts
the player, mainly speccing into mage and summoner, fires an arrow
the player takes damage
the ranger gem breaks, which doesnt lower the damage output of the player

with the new system, one of the mage/summon gems would instead be broken. this change would keep this armor better suited for its nohit role, and especially when considering this armor is most often used for scal, would help to prevent cheesing its penalty.

**Make Midas Prime bullets pierce while ricocheting to another coin**

Conceptually, Midas Prime is very fun, and it's reception seems to be positive all around; However, in-game, it mechanically doesn't feel like it offers "advanced" strategy in the sense that it's usage boils down to tossing four coins and shooting at them without much other consideration, which may or may not be preferable for many people.

I believe it would benefit from (potentially) having an overall reduction to the multiplier from simply ricocheting off of coins, but giving bullets a certain amount of "pierces" after ricocheting would add much more strategy and technique to how coins are utilized, in the sense that "sandwiching" enemies between coins would allow the bullet to pass through them several times in a row and dealing damage several times, in a manner reminiscent of "railcoins" or "coin adding" from ULTRAKILL, the game referenced by Midas Prime. Additional pause between each ricochet would make for proper "coin adding" to be possible/easier, but may not be necessary/preferred.

Currently, dragonfire is an incredibly detrimental debuff from yharon, both reducing the player's move speed by a significant amount, and also doing anywhere from 54 - 126 damage, of which the higher value is the most common. This effectively adds ~100 damage to every single yharon attack (assuming the player is not getting hit every 3 seconds, which would likely result in the player dying anyway), and the only way to be immune to it pre-yharon, is to use dynamo stem cells.
if the player is using any of the 4 classes that are not ranged, they have to give up an accessory slot just to be not take an extra 100 or so damage, and the only benefit they gain is a movespeed increase.

If being completely immune is too much, enable some fitting items to resist dragonfire, reducing either the damage dealt to the player, or reducing the amount of time it is inflicted for

**Reduce the drop rates of most weapon and accessories from normal enemies**

I respect the sentiment to reduce grinding, but if every second enemy is dropping the same item, it kind of defeats the purpose, and quickly fills up your inventory. This is especially prevalent while preparing for WoF, as you're going to quickly have an inventory full of Oathe Blades and Ashen Stalactites. If If you're exploring the desert, expect to bring home several Amidas Pendants and Stomrjaw Staves. Or if you're building a skybridge, you'll be overencumbered with Sky Glazes. Or just simply exploring underground and you'll be overwhelmed by mana and vital jellies.
I understand that even if you have more you can just sell them, but it is more annoying than anything since money is so abundant in Calamity and it just takes up an inventory slot.

Furthermore, it doesn't really make sense when compared to vanilla. All calamity weapons and accessories dropped from enemies have a super high drop rate, while you're going to be spending a good while to get a jellyfish necklace, Bat Bat, or Demon Scythe. I'm not saying to make the game more grindy, but at the same time if you do need to "grind," then it's a good excuse to utilize Terraria's building mechanic to assist in such a way to help.

***Make more accesories visible on the player***

There are many accesories in calamity, every one with many diverse effects, and many also affect the player's vanity, similar to many vanilla accesories, however, there are only many because of the sheer ammount of gear there is on the mod, in reality, there is a limited number of accesories that grant the player vanity, take for example the Shield of the Ocean, it looks cool as hell, i gotta say, but it's a shame that despite being a shield accesory, it grants no effect on visuals

Other examples that would look cool but really make you say "Oww, why?" are the Necklace of Vexation, Statis' Ninja belt and void sash, Sand shark tooth and reaper tooth necklaces, Gravistar Sabatons, Giant tortoise shell, Deific amulet, Yharim's Insignia, Badge of Bravery, etc.

Some of this could be implemented more difficult than others (Sash and belt, tortoise shell, SotO) while others only require some pixels (Reaper and SST necklaces), and it would be a change (a big one, for sure) that i'm pretty sure more than 1 person would appreciate, little details are always loved.

**Let the Ares Exoskeleton save your last loadout**

Ares exo is a unique summon in that you need to select a loadout for it, I like this very much but its somewhat inconvenient when you need to take it off for visibility reasons. as it takes up a huge amount of space around you. I think making it so that the item remembers your last loadout and instead loads that back up immediately would be much better, since if you need to change it, your gonna be sitting there anyway, but if you just need to pop it back on with no changes, you don't have to sit there anymore.

It makes it less annoying when you have to turn it off so you dont have to sit there and fiddle with it when you want to turn it back on.

With the current way the bosses behave, they jump, hover over the player, even if they continues to move around, and then slam down. That is not a jump, the boss is flying. The boss should jump onto the player, not do this weird hovering thing that makes it difficult to predict when the boss is going to slam down. Visually it also just looks weird, as it is a boss that is clearly designed to be a land-based boss and yet it is flying around.

**Have the Bladecrest oatsword have it's blade on the side where the cursor is, rather than the direction which the player is facing**

Bladecrest oatsword is a cool pre-hm sword, which you use for most of your pre-hm journey. It has one annoying issue: when you use it, it's blade is fired on the side which the player faces. This can be an issue, since you usually want to shoot to the direction you are retreating to, not the way the boss is

And on the counter argument of saying ''Just use the opposite side left to right key'' this is not the usual way how weapons operate. Aka you have to learn a new way of playing for just one weapon.

**Nerf the DoG laser attack in phase 2**

The first phase of the devourer of god is challenging and fun but in phase two the fight is more complicated (its normal). The attacks are complex and varied which makes the fight interesting but when the boss reaches about 45% of his life it will start to make an attack where it launches lasers in the form of a grid and the problem is in this attack. It is almost impossible to dodge, the time between the beginning of this attack and the appearance of the lasers is too short, the reaction time is not enough for most people to memorise or position themselves between the projectiles, moreover the lasers are too close to each other and the player placement must be perfect if they want to dodge them. This unique attack ruins DoG fight for new players who are unable to dodge this attack. I propose to make it less strong by increasing the delay between the beginning of the attack and the appearance of the projectiles and/or to increase the position of the lasers so that the player can position himself more easily without taking damage.

**Allow the Steampunker to sell solution of the opposite world evil when in a graveyard.**

This would allow players to acquire red solution in a corruption world and purple solution in a crimson world, which is otherwise impossible.

Having access to these solutions would make it much easier to obtain large amounts of the opposite evil in a world, without having to wait for the biome to spread from grass seeds.
The Dryad already sells seeds of the opposite world evil under these same conditions, so it seems reasonable to have the Steampunker follow suit.

This would be particularly useful for farming things such as cursed flames/ichor, as growing a reasonably-sized underground biome of the opposite world evil can be quite tedious and complicated.

So, we all know the wulfrum rework, we all love the wulfrum rework. One downside of it though is that the only pre-boss melee set in the mod is no longer available, with the closest runner up being ancient shadow armor which is world evil specific and requires a lengthy grinding process.
This leaves early game melee with ore armor. Just ore armor. We already have the fungal symbiote accessory early on for melee so a mushroom themed armor would fit right in. The specifics of it can be worked out in the dev team of course. If there's already an early melee set planned, great, if not, then this could be an idea for one.

Possibly one of the most annoying enemies in hardmode is the Profaned Energy, simply because it's fireballs are impossible to get rid of and you just need to wait it out. It wouldn't be so bad if they were just a quick projectile, but they linger for so long and do a pretty moderate amount of damage, as well as move very quickly horizontally.
My suggestion is that they either just flat out despawn if the creator is killed, or they fizzle out in some way, still lingering a little bit, but their life source is no longer there so they can't exist anymore.

It's simply just an endless barrage of projectiles that won't stop coming and its super hard to dodge all of that stuff while trying to damage the boss. It's just not fun to fight the Wall of Flesh in Deathmode at all, and it's especially egregious considering how Rev Wall of Flesh isn't that hard
Perhaps one way of improving the Wall of Flesh in Rev+ is instead of making the projectiles just random, perhaps the projectiles are fired in challenging, but understandable patterns. This makes the Rev WoF a little harder, but assuming the patterns remain the same in Deathmode, it will make the fight not stupid hard.

**Remove Potion selling and make potions yield more with each craft instead.**

Terraria's potions tend to be very annoying to grind due to the generally grindy recipes. Calamity attempts to work around this by making potions sold at NPCs, but not only this puts potions at mercy of the game's volatile economy, but also makes potion grinding effectively irrelevant. Making potion recipes yield more of the resulting potions would help significantly reducing the potion grind without making it entirely irrelevant.

**Overhaul potions Pot, Crate and Chest drops so players collect more important potions by exploring.**

Ammo Conservation, Rage, Summoning, Warmth, and Wrath potions are the only potions not dropped while exploring. In Calamity, on top of the class specifics from vanilla like Magic and Archery, Endurance and Lifeforce also can be found while exploring. Lifeforce is normally a Hardmode exclusive, which leaves these loot tables in a weird place.

One of the biggest complaints in this server, and about the mod- no, the game, in general- is how hard potions are to get. In Calamity, this only gets worse, with Death mode being balanced around having these buffs, on top of the plethora it adds itself.

Adding the rest of the potions to these drop tables and buffing the drop rates of important potions for combat like Endurance, Lifeforce, Rage, and Wrath would vastly help in the potion scarcity issue. If the player accumulated these potions over time, it would make dealing with a harder boss where they actually need them much easier. Considering there is already a precedent for Calamity breaking the loot table conventions for potions, it would make sense to find biome specific potions in biome chests and pots rather than the generic ones found in every drop table currently.

On that note; make crate potion drops make sense. If you’re in a specific biome, you want potions from that biome, so make it drop those instead of the random arbitrary ones shared amongst all crates.

Currently when providence is spawned she looks for what biome she's in by checking for the hallow biome first, and then the underworld.

The Briny Baron is a sword in name only. Very rarely are you actually using the left click sword swing. Instead you are often using what can only be described as a discount Razorblade Typhoon. This is not a sword. It is a mage weapon masquerading as a sword.

There seems to be a trend of reworking old calamity weapons to be more than just versions of the Terrablade. An idea would be to make it do some sort of dash attack like Duke Fishron, the boss it drops from. Maybe you charge it up for a short time before dashing into the enemy. This would serve to make the weapon more unique from regular swords but would also make it not a melee Razorblade Typhoon.

**Make Classless Max HP% Damage Weapon (such as Bazooka, Hydra, Magnum...) Share Their Number Of Usage**

Currently the number of usage of these weapons are limited. The intend of these weapons are that they are exceptionally powerful, and when use at the right timing can secure a win on an important phase of a fight (eg: on Yharon's final phase, where he is constantly teleporting making him exceptionally hard to hit)

However by using all of them you end up dealing an extremely large chunk of Boss' Max HP in damage, as the weapons' usage are only for themselves.

For reference, if you use all of them, you can deal about 20% of a boss' max hp as damage.

The suggestion is so that the weapons' number of usage are shared with their downgrades (or even among all the weapons in some way) so they are not as abusable.

**Daedalus Golem "Fix" **

The Daedalus Golem is a very powerful post Cryogen summon, however there is a glaring issue that I feel brings the efficiency of the weapon down. Usually with minions and other NPCs that follow the player they try to stay on the same vertical level as the player. This is true for the Daedalus Golem, except it's only one way. The golems can jump, but when the player goes down platforms then up again, they stay on the lower level. This means that the minions will always stay at the lowest point your player has been at during that fight. Every other minion in Calamity has some feature where they teleport to the player if you get too far away, except for this one. I suggest:

1. Make it so that the Daedalus Golem minion can jump up to the player.

2. The minions can teleport to the player if they get too far away.

Even when using the Heartreach Potion - to make them home in on the player - the timer is so short that it's very easy to accidentally outrun the homing orb during battle.

I'd suggest extending the time before they disappear considerably. And if easy to implement, make them home in on the player without needing a Heartreach Potion.

Compare to other vanilla bosses reworked by Calamity (for Revengeance), BoC generally only have improved Phase 2 while Phase 1 is still mostly disregarded.

One example idea I have is BoC's Phase 1 can be a "mini ceaseless void", due to their similarity in terms of design and being minion based.

**Rework or remove the classless 'Resident Evil' Guns**

The classless guns, colloquially referred to as the 'RE Guns', are a series of classless weapons that do true damage, as well as taking away anywhere from 1% to 7.5% of an enemy's total HP on hit. These weapons are locked to only be used 1 to 3 times per boss fight, and their ammo has very small stacks, anywhere from 6 to 12; this ammo is also on the more expensive side.

These weapons should not exist. They go against everything Calamity's current design philosophy works towards. They're incredibly boss focused with the damage easily being abused on bosses by packing every single RE gun, and firing them all off in a row, to deal upwards of a quarter of the boss's health. Why these weapons are allow to exist while Coldheart Icicle was axed for similar reasons makes no sense.

Furthermore, they have ridiculous base damage values for their tiers and have NO RESTRICTIONS OUTSIDE OF BOSS FIGHTS. They completely invalidate every single non-boss enemy including minibosses and events. A player can easily shred say, Goblin Army, Giant Clam, and Great Sand Shark in seconds, just to name a few egregious scenarios.

One of the balancing aspects of these weapons is supposed to be their high cost and small ammo stacks, but as we know, money is of no consequence in Calamity, and the recently added Void Bag trivializes inventory management. When exploring, there's no reason not to use these weapons considering their strength. This turns any challenging encounter outside of exactly boss fights into a joke and a roundabout ranger playthrough, because these are all effectively fancy ranged weapons, which does not help with the homogeny of classes Calamity is already trying to repair.

Simply make these GUNS into ranged weapons, or remove them. They have no place in the current state of the game as they are.

While the rest of the items in the Pirate Invasion are mostly QoL and fairly powerful at breaking the already broken economy in Terraria, and understandably aren't sold, the Coin Gun is a fairly powerful weapon and recently gained a post-ML upgrade in the form of the Sevens Striker.

This weapon is extremely obnoxious to get with it's 1% drop chance from Flying Dutchmen, and even lower chances from most other Pirate enemies. With the addition of its powerful upgrade, the chances of a player actually having the ability to try it out is very low with how hard it is to obtain. Calamity typically adds alternate methods of obtaining relatively rare items that are used in crafting recipes, like Dungeon drops, so I see no reason not to do the same here. I only suggest also including Pirate Staff for consistency. It's also very funny that such a bad summon is almost as rare as Rod of Discord.

So it would be nice to have a bit of clarification about those plans and if it'll be affecting vanilla multiclass.
If so, my suggestion would be to not discard the possibility of a rogue headpiece for hallowed, since:

1. It would make rogue feel more like its part of vanilla terraria.
2. Gives access to the holy protection buff to rogue, i.e so that every class has access to it.
3. It'll add an armour set between the 2 pure rogue armour sets: Deadalus (Post-Cryogen) & Umbraphile (Post-Calamitas), which can be a bigger gap depending on what hm progression you've set.

The Zenith is meant to be a culmination of swords you’ve collected from the past, so I think additional melee weapons from throughout your progression of the mod should be added to the recipe, and the auric bars be removed. This could include weapons such as The Burning Sky, Excelsus, Terratomere, or any other important post moonlord sword. I think this would make progression in getting the weapon a lot smoother, and make more sense.

Currently, the Elysian Tracers are in a very weird spot in progression, where they are only used for one boss before being immediately upgraded again. Additionally, the Tracers line as an alternative to normal wings, focusing on speed rather than flight time, is very unevenly spaces throughout progression, with Seraph Tracers being used for 9 bosses without being upgraded. Moving Elysian Tracers to the post-Sentinels point of progression would solve both of these problems, as the gap between Seraph and Elysian would be narrowed and the gap between Elysian and Celestial would be widened. This change would also not unbalance anything as the difference between Elysian Tracers and post-Providence wings is similar to the difference between Seraph Tracers and post-Moon Lord wings.

**Improve on Hover feature on certain wings.**

There are about 4 design variants of wings: base Wings (all-rounder), jetpack-esque Wings (being able to increase vertical speed manually), Tracers (mixing boots and wings, thus inheriting horizontal speed boost from boots while flying), and Hover.

Hover only exists on a total of 4 vanilla + cal wings: Hoverboard, Betsy's Wings, Celestial Starboard and Hadarian Wings. Hover in comparison to other wing designs seem to be vastly inferior, as they have a few more drawbacks that the other wing designs don't have (like Hover consuming extra flight time for no reason).

Making hover not consume flight time and adjust the stats of those wings accordingly would help make these hover wings feel more on-par with other wings with their own gimmick.

**rework Fungal Symbiote into a sensible item**

why is there a true melee item that gives true melee PROJECTILES. while the projectiles aren't "fired" they still massively increase the effective range of true melee weapons. the entire point of true melee is that it doesnt fucking have projectiles. not to mention it's a shrine item for an already rare biome so it's extremely inconsistent to get. and it's nearly required for any true melee playthrough because of how disgustingly good it is. My suggestion is to rework it into a defensive item that gives regeneration or extra defense on true melee hits.

Remove Evil Islands When playing the Drunk world seed

In deathmode, antlions spew massive amounts of sand, which can be really annoying if it gets all over an arena you're building. A lot of the more annoying deathmode features have already been removed from the difficulty, so it'd make sense for this one to also go.

But being honest... it's a funny attack. All that sand everywhere paired with the sound effect is quite the thing to behold. So I think it'd be cool to keep this behavior as perhaps an easter egg, in the For the Worthy seed. There's already precedent of For the Worthy causing enemies to "grief" your world, with Skeletron Prime's bombs destroying tiles, so I think the antlion's mass placement of blocks would fit right in

**Add in more monoliths themed with Calamity's bosses**

This suggestion came to be over a nice (mixed) chat with YuH, Metarex, and Neko. Basically, CalValEx used to have custom monoliths (as far as I'm aware) that were similar in function to the six vanilla monoliths (Solar, Vortex, Nebula, Stardust, Void, Blood Moon).

Tl;Dr: They're fancy little things that make your screen eye candy, and replicate the pillar BG VFX, moon lord summon VFX, and blood moon VFX when switched on/off. The custom monoliths found in CalValEx broke during the migration to 1.4 TML (due to how sky mechanics or something funky like that changed), and as far as I know, they replicated the VFX of some of Calamity's bosses (DoG, Yharon, you get the idea).

YuH has pretty much implied that to re-add these (both for the memes and because they're pretty), something would have to be done in Calamity rather than CalValEx, so that's what this suggestion is for. Currently, the bosses that would benefit most from having monoliths are five of them:

• Leviathan & Anahita
• Plaguebringer Goliath
• Devourer of Gods
• Yharon
• Supreme Calamitas

There are other potential additions as well, such as Cal Clone, Providence, and the Exo Mechs, but they're not as important due to either more subtle VFX events or, in the case of Cal Clone, being similar to SCal. I'll leave the acknowledgement of them in (in case the devs/spriters want to do a bit extra or get their creative juices flowing), but they're not as important - the main four would be more than good enough for the time being.

**Make Storm Weaver's Tornado A Much More Integrated Part Of The Fight**

What I mean is that the tornado should be more included in Storm Weaver's behaviour as part of its moveset, rather than just an obstacle that the player have to escape.

I find it interesting with how <80%HP or Phase 2 (tornado = Phase 3) where you are incentivized to utilize horizontal space to dodge Storm Weaver's ice blast and charge, while for Phase 3 it takes a 180° turn in the direction of the fight by having tornados completely blocking off horizontal movement, and you must instead improvise through vertical movement.

However, currently this is simply not the case, as Storm Weaver's behaviour disregard the fact that the player is inside the tornado, which means you will be attacked from very often undodgeable position if you try to stay inside it.

The only way to properly deal with it is to drop out of the tornados and proceed the fight as normal. The tornados effectively is just a temporary barrier to stop your movement for a while.

Several steps can be done to help make fighting inside tornado much more viable, examples are:

1. Have Storm Weaver not actively close in (during non-charge attack) while the player is inside the tornado
2. Have increased time between ice blast and charge attack so the player don't get cross-attack by the two move at the same time while staying inside tornado
3. Make Storm Weaver charge from a more horizontal degree/position towards the player if the player stay inside the tornado

**Give the remaining duplicate recovery potions niche buffs**

This probably isn't a very well know fact (I didn't even know this) but Calamity makes it so Bottled Honey now gives the Honey buff to the player for 2 minutes. This is a neat little buff because, until later accessories, there no real way to get a constant source of this buff.

I think it'd be interesting if the other remaining duplicate potions also got effects like this. Giving the Bottled Water the ability to give the Wet debuff constantly would allow for neat interactions with items like the Shrimpy Truffle or Victide armor. Eggnog could get the ability to give Well Fed or Warmth to make it less of a strictly worse Restoration Potion (or Bottled Honey, since it ALSO heals 80). Mushrooms could give the Mushy buff for a short time (because Mushy really has no other reason to exist LMAO). Perhaps Strange Brew could even be looked at, because while it gives a ludicrous amount of mana Pre-Hardmode, the fact it also counts as the much longer cooldown Healing Potion makes it effectively useless.

Wulfrum knives have a mechanic where you can recall all of the ones you've thrown by holding right-click.

An idea for an upgrade would be a weapon that threw projectiles that could be recalled and if they hit an enemy they did damage. Obviously that is just a prototype of an idea, but it would serve to give the upgrade to the Wulfrum a strategic purpose in combat. Additionally, it is a much better expansion of the Wulfrum Knives ability and would make much more sense than the Crysalline.

**Allow spiky balls to stick onto platforms and make spiky balls later in progression more gravity affected.**

Spiky balls by vanilla's way of implementation are small projectiles that are affected by gravity and stay on the ground for a long time, damaging enemies running onto them. While Calamity stuck to this concept early on, most spiky balls later in progression start losing their gravity-affected aspect and just float on the air, e g. Nychthemeron and Hell's Sun (System Bane is an odd exception as it slows down on platforms instead of completely sticking).

Having spiky balls stick to platforms and making spiky balls later in progression affected by gravity would help retaining the intended identity of spiky balls vanilla defined and Cal followed early on. Additionally, this would also help making spiky balls more interesting as the platform sticking adds a depth to positioning of these weapons.

The SBTFS touts itself as "The ultimate fishing accessory" yet is missing two fishing accessories added by Calamity itself, the Alluring Bait and Enchanted Pearl. The purpose of the SBTFS seems to be to allow near-optimal fishing abilities without sacrificing several accessory slots and your armor, but adding two new fishing accessories that aren't included in this convenient package seems counterproductive to that.

It would make the SBTFS (or a hypothetical upgrade including the Alluring Bait and Enchanted Pearl) an incredibly powerful accessory, yes - but it's an incredibly powerful accessory for fishing. An already incredibly easy, if tedious, task not many people like. Making it even easier with even fewer accessory slots required for optimal fishing conditions wouldn't destroy the game balance, I'd think - it might even rope a few more people into fishing for things.

The biome blades is a great and unique weapon I love to use. But the one problem I have is the true biome blades “lamentations of the chained”.

Sure it’s great for hoards in a distance but once they get past that area, you have to adjust the weapon dmg aoe to that specific location to even attack enemies, and it’s even worse in mid air

Why not just change modes to get close range?
Because I want some fast and quick attacks that doesn’t require charge up time or hits to get its full power ready.
The whips is already at full charge already, so it makes it good for fast and quick attacks for players to use in quick situations. And even if I don’t have it in my slots, I still prefer up and quick attacks for

why not just change to another weapon with close range dmg?
Because the biome blades is a decent weapon for their modes and somewhat decent dmg. And also, some people do use this weapon to some extent

So I really recommend making “lamentations of the chains” whip damage area adjustable so me and maybe other people can have an easier time controlling this weapon because it’s really hard to control and do dmg with this weapon.
Even if it’s too much, please just tweak it a bit so it’s a little bit better to use.

**Make Astrum Aureus's attacks easier to *understand***

After a few discussions regarding the boss in question in #suggestions-discussion, I have come to this conclusion: Astrum Aureus is not a fun fight... for the average player. While experts can probably move around the boss with ease thanks to having a good understanding of Aureus's behavior, this behavior isn't properly communicated to the average player whatsoever. This shows up in two ways:

1. Aureus's jumps are supposed to be dodged by going under Aureus. Although this sounds like the easiest thing to understand, Aureus jumps in a particular fashion that confuses the player, especially when they usually dodged similar bosses by running the same direction over and over again. It also doesn't help when Aureus jumps from a decent distance away, making it astoundingly difficult to even dodge the attack.
2. The Aureus Spawn are perhaps the strangest boss minion in the entire game, given their suicidal mode of action. The intended way to fight an Aureus Spawn is to have them collide with blocks. This is, however, not easy for the average player to realize, since they won't stop otherwise. The Spawn being triggered by reducing their health to 50% only makes this worse.

Although the devs could probably come up with better solutions to this problem, I will propose some solutions to these two problems, perhaps to provide some brain food.

1. Change how Aureus's jumps work, maybe even introduce some SFX that signal to the player about the jumps.
2. Rework Aureus Spawn to be actually killable in their bomb phase. This may need to be balanced out by making their movements even more extreme.

**Make Ink Bomb drop from Giant Squids instead of the Colossal Squid**

The Colossal Squid is a powerful miniboss that drops its own unique loot: the Calamari's Lament. Tying a pretty weak accessory to its defeat as well - the Ink Bomb - feels pointless. Should a player need an Ink Bomb for the Abyssal Mirror, they're probably just going to go for the Cuttlefish that can drop it anyway, who itself is little more than annoyingly rare. The end result is that the Ink Bomb is either incredibly grindy or incredibly difficult to obtain. This means that a player is unlikely to actually seek one out until it can be upgraded to the Abyssal Mirror just after Plantera, and even at that point the Colossal Squid is a monumental challenge, so this pre-hardmode accessory becomes functionally useless.

Tying the Ink Bomb to the Giant Squids makes more sense, as they're more powerful enemies than the Cuttlefish and more common, making it more reasonable to have hold an accessory. That way the player won't have to sit around in the first layer of the abyss for half an hour waiting for a single enemy - they can dip in, kill a squid for the accessory, and dip out. Also they're literally squids.

The Astral Infection can be a somewhat problematic biome. It may fall on top of a living tree, down a corrupt chasm, too close to the Sulphurous Sea, covering the entire Hallow biome... you get the point.
Adding a new structure - such as an Astral Shard, or a remnant of a fallen star god - generated with the world, could solve these issues. The structure would spawn in an adequate location, away from problematic/important structures and out of the range of the Hallow stripe - serving as a beacon, marking where the Astral Meteor will land.
Not only would this help avoid problems with the spawn location, but it would also provide quality of life for those who want to build skybridges, by showing them where said bridge would need a gap.
The Astral Infection is a great biome, and it deserves a safer spawn.

Right now the only thing Calamity does to expand item grab range is through Ceaseless Hunger Potion, which is a worldwide-scale item grab that lasts for 10 seconds per potion (or 40s total per Dark Plasma used). There's a huge gap between the general item grab range at the start of playthroughs and the aforementioned potion, which is essentially post-Providence.

**Make Golden Gun inflict Betsy's Curse**

Unlike the Eye of Magnus line, which inflicts a unique debuff; Marked, the Golden Gun is a weapon that inflicts an existing debuff from the game; Ichor.

Why? ...Probably some holdover from old Calamity design to avoid class mixing Golden Shower into every build or something. Now a days there's literally no reason to make this item. 3 out of the 5 classes now benefit from flasks, so half of the classes just get Ichor on a potion, and the other two... are Ranger and Mage. Who have Ichor Bullets, Arrows, and Darts, and the other literally started this entire trend of giving classes the ability to inflict Ichor in the first place. (Summoner also has Caustic Staff now so even whipless summoners have a way to inflict Ichor.)

Golden Gun has literally no reason to exist. Genuinely, every class already has a native way to do this; why would you ever use this weapon?

It isn't a bad concept, however. A similar debuff from vanilla, Betsy's Curse, is completely Mage-locked. A very easily solution to give Golden Gun an actual purpose is to simply give it the ability to inflict Betsy's Curse. It's just a stronger version of Ichor anyway, lowering defense by 40 instead of 15, and it would give it an actual reason to exist, by making Betsy's Curse available on other classes. It could even be moved to a similar place in progression as well by simply shoving Scoria Bars into it or something, while still keeping it's general design.

**Update Omega Blue's Tentacles to Use More Modern DrawCode**

Currently, the Omega Blue armor set has a bonus that spawns tentacles that heal the player on hit. These tentacles are a VERY old effect implemented very early in Calamity's development. These days the tentacles are a bit of a sore sight on the eyes compared to other effects of a similar caliber (just look at the Ark line... wow). Replacing the tentacles with something more modern, perhaps similar to, say, Polterghast's tentacles from the Infernum mod, would do wonders for improving the aesthetics of this armor set.

**Revamp/Buff (most) Player-Taken On-Hit, Thorn and Reflect Effects**

Referring to things like Thorn Potion, Absorber's mushroom, Amalgam and so on. Basically debuffs or damage dealt back to the enemy when the player taken hits.

To put it simply, these effects are just mostly useless unless abused under specific condition (like star veil + lava).

They do too little damage back to the enemy in accounting for how much damage they player already taken, as to give back big thorn damage often requires the player to also taking huge amount of damage.

In other case, reflection effect that are more powerful such as The Evolution, Daedalus Melee Armor set bonus and Eclipse Mirror have their usefulness limited by long cooldown.

However, one particular useful case of such effect already exist and can be seen from Hydrothermic Armor, which deals a proper huge amount of damage (upwards of 1000 base damage total) regardless of damage taken, as that is the power level these effect are supposed to have in the first place. Other similar effects should be buffed accordingly.

**Simplify the effects of the Reaver Helm.**

The reaver helm's set bonus effects are so complicated that it's hard to tell exactly how good it is. Let's look at the effects. The set bonus gives some defense, regen, aggro, and reduces hp lost from debuffs. It also gives "All attacks a small chance to steal life and speed up the rate of life regen". The chance, regen bonus, and lifesteal is never specified. The set bonus also reduces movement speed, deflects damage, and gives reaver rage, which "has a 25% chance to activate when you are damaged". What Reaver Rage does is never specified. The sheer number of set bonus effects, 8 in total, makes it hard for a player to tell exactly what the armor is doing. This problem is compounded by the description leaving out crucial information such as the chance to lifesteal. While you could add this information, this would make the set bonus even more overwhelming. Simplifying the set bonus to focus on only one or two effects would make what it does and how good it is more obvious to players.

Buff Fathom Swarmer Armor

Fathom swarmer armor has the unfortunate problem of being immediately outclassed by Tiki. Tiki armor with leaf winds gives 48 defense, 5% damage reduction, and 3hp/sec. Fathom swarmer gives 47 defense and 6% dr. Tiki also has much better damage stats, with 5% more minion damage and 2 more minions. There’s no reason for Tiki to be superior to fathom swarmer at tanking. Buffing fathom swarmer’s defensive abilities will ensure that it’s niche lasts until post-golem.

**Make more hell-themed items use demonic bone ash, or make the items that do require more**

Right now only 5 items use demonic bone ash, and all of them except the Devil's Sunrise only require one. Whenever I go to the underworld to farm for a weapon or other item I find myself with way more demonic bone ash than I will ever need to use. There are plenty of hell-themed items in the game like the Hellwing Staff or the Infernal Rift or the Flarewing Bow that could potentially use demonic bone ash as an ingredient. Or you could always make the required amount needed for the current items higher. Demonic bone ash just doesn't serve a huge purpose right now besides zerg potions, but I'm not necessarily going to need 50+ zerg potions in a single play-through of the mod.

**Make Revengence Mode DoG less... Unfair**

Revengence Mode Devourer Of Gods is considerably harder than it's Death Mode counterpart for a number of reasons and some of them are just downright unfair

Some of these things include:

Laser wall telegraphs happening when the lasers still haven't reached the player (As well as not being the easiest to see)
(Also those same telegraphs suddenly causing a massive lag spike with all my settings minimum despite it being perfectly fine on base settings literally the last update)

On some light settings the God Slayer Fireballs are barely visible on the purple background

Forced laser wall at about 18-20% that can catch people off guard when it's normally an interval for the laser walls

And more I won't get into for the sake of keeping this not 8 pages long

Some things that could help would be:

Black background for phase 2. Rev DoG in phase 2 doesn't phase change much (or nearly as much) as in phase 1 or any lower difficulty so the black background would only help with visibility

Redoing the laser wall 2nd telegraph so the first lasers have time to pass by the player and make it so the player can dodge the first set and have ample time to react and dodge the 2nd set instead of everything overlapping

Just ideas that I'm throwing around, doesn't have to be such

**Make Thanatos less reliant on the part vulnerability system in order to be defeated.**

Thanatos is a part of Exo Mechs fight that is completely invulnerable except when hit on the designated vulnerable parts that open after some time near those parts. This mechanic is quite confusing as there's no tell whether it's RNG or timed, and with how the boss is completely invulnerable aside from those weak spots, opening a couple makes the fight quite a meltfest as anything that hits multiple targets at once can make quick work of the boss.

Making the vulnerable parts gimmick less dominating on the boss (like making the vulnerable parts more of a reward rather than a necessity) would help making the boss fight just a bit more interesting and less of a meltfest.

**Add an upgrade to the Elemental Blaster**

The Elemental Blaster is an early post Moon Lord weapon with a pretty simple crafting recipe and decent damage output. It's also part of the elemental class of weapons, an early classing of post Moon Lord weapons that almost acts as like a starting point for the post ML section of your Calamity playthrough. All of the elemental weapons upgrade at least once thoughout the game, but this weapon. To stick to general consistency, it would make logical sense for all the elemental weapons to have upgrades rather than all but one.

**Add more unique secondary effects to stealth strikes**

Stealth is a great mechanic, but to be honest, not all that much is actually done with it. I appreciate the weapons with special stealth benefits, like Scarlet Devil’s healing or Corpus Avertor’s team regen buffs. Adding more interesting effects to some stealth strikes would make stealth more of a unique utility and stealth generation builds more appealing.

Here are some ideas:
Spent Fuel Container / Wave Pounder / Supernova: Generates a long-lasting field of radiation. Staying in the field gives enemies a debuff that worsens exponentially over time
Lionfish (by @regal kindle):

Lion fish gives enemies near each other shared debuff damage from the enemy with the most lion fish in them

**Make Bosses Light Up The Screen (similar to Calamitas Clone), Especially Night Bosses**

Currently visibility can be an issue especially with night bosses unless with extensive arena setup (which is harder when not using any QoL/cheat mods). This also ruins the aesthetic aspect by basically making it mandatory to place torches or campfires everywhere (night owl potion + shine potion alone is not enough as it only helps when the boss is already at close range).

Calamitas Clone uses a special shader which makes her and her projectile always visible despite having no light sources. Another examples are Plaguebringer Goliath which also makes the fight much fairer as the stinger projectiles and minions are clearly visible.

This will provide significantly greater visual clarity especially for players who do not use cheat sheet paint tools/world edit to have perfect arena (which is most of the general players) if the same feature were to be introduced on other bosses.

Change Calamity's alternative method of obtaining the Rod of Discord

The Rod of Discord, we can all agree, is a very useful item, and in Calamity it has an alternate method of obtaining that isn't dependent on RNG. It is sold by the Wizard while he is in the Hallow. However, I feel that having such an important item be reliant on Terraria's flawed economy isn't a good idea. The solution could be making it drop from a boss instead. EoL would be a sensible candidate since she's a Hallow boss and can teleport, but if that's too late in progression it could drop from Queen Slime. If it were to drop from EoL, it would give extra incentive to defeat her early, which is possible in Calamity.

Increase the chance to get Stuffed Fish/standard Crates when fishing in Forest.

Stuffed fish, a grab bag that gives you herbs, is a ~6.5% drop when fishing on surface during the day, no matter the biome.
Currently the Forest has no rare/unique drops from fishing, so besides the fishing quests there is no real merit to fish there, as most of your drops are going to be fish of white rarity.
Increasing the chance of getting one of the existing more rare drops is a simple way to make fishing in forest worthwhile, and both Stuffed Fish and Crates (Gold/Iron/Wood + HM counterparts) are, in my opinion, good candidates for that.

**Rework or remove the Spadefish**

The Spadefish is a really obscure item, obtained by fishing in the Underground layer in pre hardmode and although most players have probably never used this item, its main benefit was its increased mining speed compared to other pre boss pickaxes. However due to significant mining speed boosts on the latest updates such as the increased mining speed stat, early ore armors and Wulfrum Digging Turtles, this pickaxe now has even less of an use.
A way to make this item have more of a reason to exist is by changing its purpose to be maybe similar to the Gravedigger's Shovel (given its appearence) and have it mine larger tiles of "soft" blocks, or simply add it to the chopping list.

**Add a more clear display of what Gem Tech gems are active**

currently, the gems only show around your character, and have no labels of which is which unless you read the tooltip. This makes it hard to tell what stat bonuses are active at any given time in a fight.

Additionally, some bosses and events provide filters that make it difficult to tell the color of the orbiting gems. While each gem has a different shape, those shapes are not shown in the tooltip.

a display that had all six gems in a fixed placement would be incredibly useful for telling which gems you have active, with the lost gems being greyed out or an empty slot. Potentially, that display could also show how much longer the gem's recharge is.

A change like this would make Gem Tech much easier to use and make decisions with in the heat of battle, hopefully making an often niche armor set more accessible

**Buff Fearmonger Armor (in some way)**

The armor currently is just at a tragic spot. With what intended to be a defensive summoner-multiclass armor, it have almost negligible summoner stat AND also non-summoner offensive stat (which is even worse).

The summoner penalty is not even nullified but only decreased by 75% which makes it even less worthwhile, as you suffer another penalty on top of already have low important summoner stat.

Now lets' speak of its most important feature that is suppose to warrant these downside: defensive ability. It has high defense and DR, and a good amount of life regen. However that is the end of it. Its alternative, Silva Armor have (more than) double both the minion slot and summoner damage, even have life regen in the form of occassionally spawning healing orb and most importantly Silva Revive.

Fearmonger Armor is just a post post-DoG pumpkin/frost moon armor that is best used for post-DoG pumpkin/frost moon. It is understandably nerfed in offensive stat to account for its multiclass potential but as of right now it is just a 'jack of all trades master of none'.

It should be buffed in some way, for example like simply give it some more damage to make it actually multiclass usable or maybe to make its Pumpkin/Frost Moon DR effect enabled regardless of bosses but at reduced amount (this also fits the "no boss only effect" direction Calamity is going towards), or maybe give it Dragonfire immunity (due to its tooltips of 'Immunity to all forms of flame and frost') which makes it a more attractive choice against Yharon the next boss in progression.

**Rename 'The Reaper' to 'The Old Reaper'**

The Reaper is a powerful Rogue weapon dropped by the Old Duke. The name 'The Reaper' stems from the fact it used to be a rare variant of Valediction, which used to drop from Reaper Sharks, who were previously named 'Reapers'. Both these names had to be changed with the introduction of the vanilla enemy Reaper, from the Solar Eclipse event.

With it now dropping from Old Duke, the name seems a bit strange, and only serves to add confusion when looking the weapon up, and when talking about it in general, especially with all the other 'Reaper' items and enemies in the game.

Furthermore, it has almost no connection to Old Duke thematically besides him being... old, I guess? So, why not put that in the name! "The Old Reaper" is a nice sounding name that actually connects to the boss, and the weapon itself is very reminiscent of a rusty version of the Death Sickle, what with the skeletal arm clinging onto the blade and all; the idea of it being a rusty sickle would be very thematic with the boss and its spawn location, the Sulphurous Sea, which is known well for corrosion. Plus it would help give it more of an identity compared to Reaper Sharks, Reapers, Celestial Reaper, Nanoblack Reaper... it's a pretty extensive pool, to be honest.

**Add a dodge to the Statis Void Sash on contact damage **

Currently the Statis Void Sash is worse than the Asgardian Aegis in almost all situations. A large reason for this is that the Aegis‘s dash allows you to ram through bosses or enemies without taking damage, letting you dodge attacks. By giving the Void Sash a dodge on dash, it’ll be more viable, and usable as an alternative to the Aegis. Giving it a cooldown makes it usable less often than the Aegis, but in return you can dodge projectiles too. Otherwise the ram of the aegis could also be nerfed or removed. The void sash could also just be buffed slightly in other aspects, or the aegis’s stats nerfed. You could add magiluminescence to the void sash, or remove ankh shield and it’s stats from the aegis.

**Make Momentum Capacitor have proper risk-reward, akin to Relic of Convergence.**

Relic of Convergence heals the player for 70 after fully charging the item for approximately 5 seconds with reduced movement speed. While Momentum Capacitor gives a boost of movement speed as long as the player is using the item. Comparing the two support items, the Relic has a proper risk-reward system as the healing isn't bound by Potion Sickness. Meanwhile Momentum Capacitor has comparatively no risk as the player can just boost away while using it for more than a second.

Giving a proper risk-reward system to Momentum Capacitor would make the item a lot more interesting and balanced than it is right now.

The progression changes to Early Hardmode are generally fine, however it feels like there’s an underwhelming amount of pre-Mech and post-One Mech weapons, and an abundance of posts-two Mech weapons that nobody uses.

Early Hardmode is the point where it’s supposed to feel like you have tons of options to progression, yet with every Ore except Cobalt locked, and the underwhelming number of Cobalt weapons, it feels lacking. However, once you beat two Mechs, you not only unlock Adamantite weapons, of which there are many, but you also unlock Cryonic bars to craft a lot more options. A slight change to put some of the Adamantite weapons in Cobalt tier would I feel be beneficial to the feeling of Early Hardmode progression.

This is the type of feature that goes a long way, this is exceptionally important at late game where you have a lot of minion slots, especially with minions like Raven Staff or Endohydra Staff that are constantly moving around and hard to keep track of.

While it is available through Toasty, the reason I think this should be a Calamity feature is because the mod also added a lot of 'cheat-like' feature which may not be suitable for normal playthrough, and also that I think this type of feature is just ideal for summoner so that manually counting each minions is no longer the only way to keep track of the minion slots you used.

**slightly shorten the amount of time you have to execute a dash**

No, this is not a post trying to nerf dashing, but indirectly buffing it.
Right now, you have around 0.2-0.3 seconds between pressing A/D once and then again to perform a dash. Although that obviously sounds like very little, anyone who has had a lot of experience with lategame bosses will tell you it's not. Try it out yourself, you can move forward a bit, come to a standstill, and still have the time to do the dash, which is absurd.

This is mainly to prevent accidental dashes, especially during Scal where incredible accuracy and tiny movements are needed for the bullethell sections, but often lead to you dashing right into a hellblast or any other projectile. On higher difficulties, Scal does enough damage where accidentally bumping into a projectile is hard to recover from, and then there's the whole other issue of nohitting, where dying because of it pissed me off so much that it brought me to write this suggestion.

As I don't know how much time you have for dashing, I can't give a precise number, but I feel like shortening the time by around half of what it currently is should completely eliminate accidental dashes. If this sounds hard, just try doing a dash as fast as possible and as slow as possible. The difference is astounding.

The problem right now is however that the boss rush we currently have is entirely outdated. Some bosses are excluded from it entirely for example the deerclops and empress of light. In the past the order for the bosses was voted on through a special poll based on what everyone's favorite bosses were.

I feel like another vote is warranted with the inclusion of the new bosses so we can have a more accurate (and more complete) boss rush.

**Make Flamethrowers More Debuff Centric (or at least make their debuffs more powerful)**

Currently flamethrower is basically just another ranger weapon that has piercing. They do nothing special, they dont have identity and is just another gun.

The suggestion is not for question of their viability as a weapon, but more to establish identity for flamethrower. One thing they should excel at compare to other weapons should be the debuff they apply (notably fire damage over time debuff), which currently simply do nothing as they just use regular debuffs.

Especially with elemental debuff reworks making debuff synergy more relevant, this is just wasted potential.

Some example ideas that can be done to the debuffs flamethrowers apply:

1. "Stacking" damage over time (with a cap maybe), basically something like Soma Prime
2. Special or empowered version of regular debuff
3. All flamethrower automatically apply oiled/slimed/amplify fire debuffs for short duration
4. Unique flamethrower only debuffs that are more powerful than other non-flamethrower weapons

Regardless of the approach, flamethrower should become more standout as a subclass.

The way it is now, there is a chance you will not be able to collect astral wood, and not be able to spawn surface astral enemies as easily

**Healing per second tooltip**

We all know how there's a DPS tooltip which can be unlocked from buying the DPS meter from the traveling merchant. What about a tooltip/item that can visually show you how much you heal per second? We've all used some form of healing weapon(s) and/or gear. Every time you heal (whether from vamp knives or from the spectre set) you always see that green juicy number that gives you a little bit of health. Wouldn't it be great to actually know how much you actually heal, instead of just guessing?

**Make Magic Tome animations feel more unique (similar to Rancor and Heresy) **

What I mean is simply make magic books feel like a real mage weapons.
Rancor and Heresy have special animations when they are used (holding the book and turning the pages).
Just this little extra makes using these weapons much more fun and unique because you really feel like a mage who can cast spells.
Almost all current magic books do not have this animation, instead the character holds the book in a strange and unnatural way.
My suggestion is simple: add a similar animation or else like the two weapons mentioned above to all the others. The mage class would be really exciting with this addition.

Scarab Fishing Rod is a fishing rod obtained exclusively through Mirage/Oasis Crates. It is tied with Fiberglass Fishing Pole for the strongest pre-Boss fishing rod.

The fact that this fishing rod is only obtainable through crates is incredibly counterintuitive.

**Bring Devil's Sunrise Up to the Same Level of Quality as the Rest of the Mod**

Devil's Sunrise is a fairly underwhelming upgrade to the Terragrim that buffs its base damage and gives it a yoyo projectile slapped on top.

The recipe is outdated in the fact that the Terragrim is only obtainable via sword shrine, and I have gotten permission to request that the Arkhalis and Enchanted Sword be added as variant recipes in place of and alongside Terragrim. Both are renewable, and also far easier to obtain.

But furthermore, the current functionality of the Devil's Sunrise is not only heavily outdated, but it is not even what the Donator wanted the weapon to function as. The image below details how they originally wanted the weapon to function. The current state is likely due to the weapon having been made back in very early days of the mod, and both it's appearance and functionality is incredibly underwhelming compared to similar weapons of it's tier, and upgrades of similar purpose in the current version of the mod. I think everyone would appreciate if this weapon received some much needed love to bring it to the same quality as other donor weapons, let alone much more impressive weapons like the Ark and Biome Blade lines.

**Replace the Clock Gatlignum in The Sevens Striker with Pew-matic Horn**

The Sevens Striker is an upgrade to the Coin Gun that fires one of 4 random attacks based on the type of coin used to fire it. Currently, the weapon uses the Clock Gatlignum in its recipe.

Currently, Clock Gatlignum is used as a material in 3 different weapon lines; this is the most recipes of any weapon in the game. Not only does Clock Gatlignum make no sense in this recipe, but it is already overused to the point of almost being a joke. CG already sees no use as a weapon, so this just turns it into even more of a stepping stone material.

With permission from the donator, I suggest that the Clock Gatlignum in this weapon be replaced with the Pew-matic Horn from Deerclops. Not only does this give an actual reason as to why The Sevens Striker fires random projectiles, but it also gives Deerclops' drops more of an actual purpose in the game, as his drops are both underutilized, and rather weak for when you obtain them in progression, currently.

**Make Destroyer, Devourer of Gods and Thanatos' Head Vulnerable To Debuff**

As of currently almost all worm bosses are vulnerable to debuffs except for these 3.

With how Calamity giving more focus on debuffs applied by the player (such as elemental debuff system), this 3 bosses effectively just ignore one of a main mechanic of the game for seeming no good reason.

if the concern is that they may become exceptionally vulnerable to damage over time effect (due to being massively segmented enemies) or because of movement impairing effect (such as Tesla potion or freeze effect), I think at the very least their head should still be susceptible to debuffs so that at least there is a purpose from the player to optimize rather than completely invalidate one of the more relevant player build option and further incentivize "just max out damage".

**rework some armors that give underwater bonuses, and potentially other biome themed armors**

There are currently 3 armors in the game that give substantial bonuses to the play while they are submerged in liquid, but except for the abyss and the 2 times the player goes to the sunken sea, these bonuses aren't being put to use very often. I suggest 1 of 2 things.

1: get rid of it completely save for maybe extra mobility in water, and just give the armors slight buffs to the normal stats.

2: (the option I prefer) make other biome themed armors give slight buffs in their respected biomes. for example, Astral Armor gets buffed in astral biome, Desert Prowler gets buffed in the desert, etc. I think this option makes the armors more unique, and also keeps it consistent and doesn't make the water buffs feel as useless and random.

I think that unless you build a water arena, the water buffs are pointless for 90% of the time you're wearing the armor.

The two mentioned accessories got a rework in a recent update, which boosts critical damage to non-stealth attacks for 5 seconds after landing stealth strikes. Since technically the player couldn't refill stealth strikes while directly utilizing the crit bonus, it's pretty much on a cooldown. Putting their perk to the cooldown rack would also double as a timer for this effect so the player can directly gauge the timer for this perk without directly checking the crit chance boost through the inventory. Such decaying effect in cooldown rack has a precedent before with the inclusion of Abyssal Madness effect from Omega Blue Armor. Doubling effect cooldowns as another way to give information also has a precedent through Rover Drive's shield damage threshold.

Ever since the removal of the Frost bars (Sorry if I forgot the name of these removed bars), all of the recipe placements of these materials we're replaced by the Cryonic bars, which seems fine, but the Arctic Arrows are straight up unfitting in a set themed around crystals.
Not only that, but these arrows are also underpowered too, just giving only the glacial state debuff, which seems uninteresting from the other arrows (Like Napalm Arrows, Terra Arrows etc.).

**Rework Daedalus Armor**

Daedalus armor is simply not necessary in its current state. The melee set bonus is tank oriented, allowing you to take half damage from a projectile every 90 seconds. However, both the adamantite and palladium armors are already available for the tank playstyle. The same is true for the mage set, which gives a 10% chance to halve contact damage. The ranger set causes you to generate crystal shards when hit. Since these shards only do 27 damage, the set bonus gives the armor no real role besides just having decent stats. This is very similar to both frost and titanium armor, which also have weak set bonuses and good stats. The summoner helmet is a generic summoner dps armor, complete with an overhead crystal, which is badly outclassed by spider in the same role. Daedalus armor may be decent depending on the order you do bosses, but the roles it covers are already fulfilled by other armors.

The white and black pearls aren’t much better (I only got around 5 black pearls in my hour of fishing).
In their current state, luck potions are practically useless (especially in calamity since it removes luck effecting dps), and pearls are a pain to get and really not worth the effort. An additional, less-painful method to get pearls is desperately needed to make these potions actually viable and not completely forgotten. It doesn’t matter what specifically gives them, although I think smth involving the sunken sea would be fitting considering the existence of clams there.

**Create a classless zoom accessory, preferably early in progression**

Being able to zoom is quite a useful perk to have for both combat and non-combat situations: for example building and boss visibility. However, for most of the early game this functionality is locked behind the Binoculars, which can be clunky and annoying to use, especially for builds, and in Hardmode is locked behind the Ranger class.
Thus, I suggest the creation of a zoom accessory that would grant no combat stats, but provide an effect similar to a slower Rifle Scope, in order to make visibility more accessible and convenient.
For example, one such item could be a Marnite upgrade to the BInoculars, linking into the theme of an accessory which the primary use is for building, but can be used for combat as well.

**Make Slowing Debuffs More Relevant**

Back in the Draedon update, Calamity made it so that slowing debuffs can now affect bosses. The main issue is that slowing debuffs are INCREDIBLY hard to come by, and the effects that do exist are very weak at the moment.

Most effects last for less than a second, and the boss then gets a full 3 minute immunity to it. This is usually more than enough time for the fight to be over according to most killtimes. While the effects should not be as busted as old Web Ball was (twice as long as all other stuns, and gave full immobility), I think making these effects stronger and more distributed would help remind people that the Boss Stun mechanic exists at all.

For example, while stunned, bosses could temporarily lose their knockback immunity (boss dependent of course, I realize this could cause issues), which would make the effect occurring a LOT more obvious for those with subsecond durations, and might actually tip new players in on such things even existing. Furthermore, I think several weapons could gain debuffs that fall within this system as well. A multitude of the repetitive ice weapons the mod still has could get access to Chilled to help make them stand out more, as well as buff their power level, Medusa Head could get access to Stoned, etc. These would both give these weapons utility and increase their usage, while also helping give debuffs more widely accessible sources, as Vanilla has NO weapons that fit this bill, so it's entirely up to Calamity to add them.

Overall, adding more weight to slowing debuffs could help tip players in on the general overhauls debuffs have recieved in Cal in a pretty obvious way, as well as strengthening one of the most interesting, but least utilized mechanics added by the mod.

This results in a lot of unnecessarily cheap shots that can only be circumvented by "just know it".

It do not have to be a long transition like Phase 2 or 3 (where it stay still), even if just a short and sweet one like doing a different/unique roar is good enough. As long as there is an indicator that "something is happening" it will greatly improve the fight.

**Give Adrenaline and Rage mechanics to all difficulty modes**

As of now, these fight-changing features are locked behind revengeance or death mode. While I understand some new players might be overwhelmed by these mechanics, a fight with desert scourge or king slime (which are considered the 'tutorial bosses') clearly shows how these work to anyone paying attention. And even if new players still don't understand, due to the low difficulty, there is no necessity for them to learn how to use rage and adrenaline. Due to balancing being an issue, perhaps have the Heart of Darkness and Stress Pills give rage and adrenaline respectively instead of their normal effects in difficulties under revengeance? This way, players will have to sacrifice an accessory slot to use them and a brief description of how they work can be provided.

So, given it's inflicted by the water, I suggest moving that debuff over from the Sickness Category to the Water category, as well as renaming it to be more fitting in it's new place. Something to do with acid, corrosion, or just water, are some potential ideas.

These 3 bosses are immune to every debuff except Enraged, Shellfish Claps, Spite, and Kami Flu (Destroyer only).
This removes a large amount of planning and creative strategy from pre-combat and can be detrimental as it can cause you to waste buff slots and potions/flasks if you don’t know that they are immune. It also contradicts the improvements calamity has done to the debuff system lately.
These bosses have many segments so their health could be increased or only their body segments could be immune to or resist some debuffs (like all damage over time and Armor Crunch for example) to prevent much faster kill times.

**Rebalance The SCal Fight**

The current fight is mostly made up of the player surviving her bullethell phases while all the other phases of her fight are relatively easy to navigate through. This makes the fight feel unbalanced, as you would usually stall for health in between waves while all her attacks are easier to dodge so you have a few extra hits in her bullethell phases. I think that by making the fight more smooth instead of having sporadic difficulty spikes would improve the fight.

DoG's Phase 2 already have that but Phase 1 doesn't have it. Previously it was not needed but with how the new lasers are fired in Phase 1 now (from its body segments, rather than globally) the player need to have a way to keep track of its position even in Phase 1.

This is especially important that DoG continue to fire lasers off screen, thus you will need the map icon to allow you to keep track and predict the direction that lasers are fired from (so you don't get hit by off screen lingering projectile).

Revert the vanilla 1.4 crate change

I think everyone here knows what I'm talking about, but in case you don't, in 1.4 crates were split into pre-hardmode and hardmode crates. Only the HM crates could drop HM ores, so this prevented players from stockpiling wood, iron and gold crates before WoF and opening them instantly for HM ores. This is a really dumb change, since it punishes the 13 people who fish for ores for no reason, and gives you even LESS reason than you already have to fish. Additionally other crates (thanks to Cal) already add items to the loot pool after a certain point (eg adding uelebloom to jungle crates post-provi. Now it just feels wierd to have that 1.4 change after HM and at no other time.

An option to turn off double-tap dashing in the config,

The dash is a fun and often core mechanic in Terraria's movement. But double tap dashing is incredibly awkward and annoying, often in a heated fight you're rapidly pressing keys and the likelihood you're gonna press the same movement key twice in a row is pretty high, more often than not dashing you straight into a boss projectile taking a third of your health, it is usually extremely aggravating.
I'm aware the Ball and Chain exists, but that disables dashing entirely and is not the answer to this problem. There are also other mods that do this: removing double-tap, changing the dash to a single button bind, but this doesn't work with any of the Calamity items, such as the Plaguebringer set, Asgard's Valor, Counter Scarf, etc. Basically meaning I either can't use any of the Calamity dash items (which usually come with a bunch of other important bonuses on top of dashing), or don't have dash at all.
So please make it that there is an option to remove double-tap dashing for Calamity / All dash items, mostly likely put in the config.
If you're also able to create an option in the controls menu that combines all dashing items into a singular key bind that would also be helpful, but since there are other mods that do that already I wouldn't worry about that part as much.

**Allow Midas Prime shots to pierce once when ricocheting between coins**

Currently, Midas Prime is in a spot where it deals middling DPS, but is much harder to use than other ranger weapons that are able to match or exceed Midas Prime's damage output, such as the Arbalest and the Daedalus Stormbow. This makes it off putting to many players, as putting in the work to improve Midas Prime's damage output isn't an investment worth making when simply holding M1 with other weapons is able to get you better results.

Basically, allow shots that are ricocheting to other coins (but not to an enemy) to pierce once. Currently, the strategy with Midas Prime is to toss all 4 coins in some arbitrary location and seeing if you can hit the big coin cloud. This change would allow for some more skillful play to be rewarded, as now strategically throwing coins would make the resulting ricochet hit a target multiple times. An example would be throwing a coin behind a boss, then one in front of you, and shooting that coin to get two hits in with one shot. Since using adrenaline with this strategy would likely result in obscene burst damage, this can be balanced by having piercing shots deal significantly less damage the more they hit, and possibly an overall base damage nerf.

This change would also let the weapon see more use in non-bossing situations such as T2 Acid Rain and possible subsequent pirate invasions, places where the Midas debuff actually has an impact.

Remove Calamity's "Old Power Cell" item and make the vanilla Power Cell usable at any time

It seems this item was added as a way for players to summon Golem early if the temple was breached using hoiks or the temple key recipe, however adding a new item for this is completely unnecessary and only contributes to item bloat.

More candles!!

I love passive buffs in the game and it'd be super neat if there were more ways to get decorations that buff you, especially from the drunk princess. I think an even stronger, end-game version of the tranquility candle would be great. Also, I'd love to see more of the fancy 50 gold candle types - one that increases max life or a one that applies a crit chance increase or makes attacks apply a special scaling debuff would be slick. Personally, I find collecting candles to be really satisfying, and giving players more options for minor passive buffs can both make building/collecting more fun as well as make the harder difficulties more accessible. Also, generally speaking, it's true that a lot of items that are added can contribute to item bloat as they get overshadowed by others in their tier or otherwise just get left behind. Passive buff items, however, remain rewarding to collect throughout the game, and never is there that point where you work to get one only to be disappointed in it becoming obsolete much later. I think that adding small incremental things like that can really help build a sense of progression and continuity, and that is 100% how I've felt so far with effigies and existing candles.

**Fix the Progression of Emblems**

The Avenger Emblem has no reason to exist.
Currently, due to Calamity's changes, Mechanical Glove and Celestial Emblem now only take their normal Emblems, Warrior and Sorcerer respectively, which means Avenger now SOLELY exists as a stepping stone to Destroyer Emblem.

Avenger is even worse now that Amalgamated Brain has turned into an early Hardmode Destroyer Emblem WITH a dodge. Amalgamated Brain was already a really good item because it was a free 10% damage as soon as you got into Hardmode alongside your Emblem, but with the addition of its dodge, it also gained 10% crit (and/or 10% summon damage) for 4 seconds after a successful dodge, which arguably makes it a better choice than nearly any other Emblem. And it isn't even an Emblem. Avenger desperately needs some kind of buff to even give it a reason for existing. An extra 2% damage POST-Mechs is nowhere close to enough of an upgrade compared to everything Amalgamted Brain currently does from the START of Hardmode.

The main reason Avenger has avoided any buffs is due to Emblem stacking, but even at its point in progression, there are so many better options to stack if you want more damage. The previously mentioned Emblem upgrades, Brain, Quiver for Rangers, Cal's Summoner Emblem upgrades, and Rogue would much prefer its own class accessories than another measly Vanilla item. I realize that removing Vanilla stacking effects is difficult coding wise, so removing this feature isn't a viable option, but Avenger is barely even viable for this, and if a player wants to sacrifice all of their movement and defense for another mediocre attack boost, I'd say let them. It's no reason not to improve this miserable accessory.

Furthermore, the fact Mech Glove and Celestial Emblem are instant upgrades is a bit weird. I'd argue locking them behind T2 or T3 ores might make them feel more like actual upgrades rather than turning their Emblems into nothing more than crafting components.

**Rebalance Armor Penetration gears (mostly later-game ones) .**

Let's take Shark Tooth Necklace tree for example:
Yes, 5 Armor Penetration is decently good in pre-HM and we may find 10 AP still useful post-Plantera but 15 AP post-Polterghast? It barely makes any difference for most weapons at that stage, except things with very low base damage stats like Ethereal Subjugator(really few).
A 7~8 flat dmg increase hardly impacts a post-ML Player's damage output, where most damage numbers popping out are 200 or way higher. This makes RTNecklace nothing more than a +15%dmg accessory and is soon outclassed by things like the Amalgam later on or get replaced by those survivability/mobility accessories.
Maybe simply adjust their AP stats or adding more useful effects will make these items more reasonable and viable choices when gearing up. If things like ES would become op when AP is too high, pls tweak these weapons instead of keeping a bunch of uncommonly used AP items.

A pet, light pet, or minion that collects critters, plus perhaps a Zerg potion equivalent for critters.

In 1.4 there is a tangible benefit to completing the bestiary (the Universal Pylon) that incentivizes it greatly. One of my favorite items in Calamity has been the Enchanted Butterfly (though I've only been lucky enough for a golden butterfly to spawn in like 1 in 3 of my runs), because having a light pet that also collects items is genius. It would be nice for Calamity to help the player complete the bestiary, in its usual style of providing its own items that surpass the vanilla ones in functionality and convenience. Enemies are easiest to get by drinking a Zerg potion and letting your minions loose, but there is no equivalent for critters. The Enchanted Butterfly I think is ideal to model such an item after, since it's already possible to boost critter spawn rate by drinking a Zerg potion in the presence of NPCs and/or peace and tranquility candles; it's collecting or "encountering" them that's the problem.

**Allow Thanatos to be targeted with summon weapon right clicks**

Currently, it is almost impossible to kill any mech other than Thanatos last as a summoner because minions will always target Ares or the exo twins before him. Most likely due his armor plate mechanic. Whips aren't much help here either, as Thanatos stays conveniently out of range for constant retargeting. This issue is especially annoying as it prevents the player from obtaining the Ares exoskeleton unless they use another class.

I’d Imagine the simplest fix would be to make it so targeting Thanatos works regardless of whether the segment clicked is open or not and for it to just cause summons to seek out venerable segments like they do when exclusively Thanatos is alive.

It’s a small tweak but this would make exos feel way better to fight as summoner.

**Make Exo Mechs "choice" Description Wording More Hinting Towards Their Referred Mechs**

Referring to this ^

While it is purely just flavour text and the current version is good, I feel it can be improved, especially Artemis & Apollo one which make it sounds like... a flawed machine? When it is supposed to be the ultimate creation by Draedon to challenge the player who at the point is basically a god slayer.

The following are current wording:

Ares: Ares, a heavyweight, diabolical monstrosity with four Exo superweapons
Thanatos: Thanatos, a serpentine terror with impervious armor and innumerable laser turrets
Artemis & Apollo: Artemis and Apollo, a pair of extremely persistent automatons with unstable energy reserves

On the other hand, while the wording description kinda hinted their appearance, but I feel it can be further improved so that the hint are more direct and also more menacing.

For example:

Ares: Ares, a heavyweight, incomprehensible monstrosity primed with four Exo superweapons
Thanatos: Thanatos, a serpentine destroyer with impervious armor and innumerable laser weaponry.
Artemis & Apollo: Artemis and Apollo, twinned predators that hunt their prey with insurmountable precision and efficiency.

As Exo Mechs is a rare case where we get an official direct description of what the boss is, I think the wording can be a more significant factor at establishing the flavours of the fight to make them more impactful and stand out.

**Rework (Revengeance+) Hallowed Armor Into a Proper Dodge Effect**

On cooldown of every 30 seconds, you can get "Holy Protection" for 6 seconds
Holy Protection make you dodge an attack

Effectively: every 30 seconds, you dodge 1 attack IF YOU GET HIT DURING THAT SPECIFIC 6 SECONDS PERIOD

This effect basically just make Hallowed Armor become incredibly inconsistent and awkward to use. If you didn't get hit during that specific time, you have no armor set bonus.

**Change the way SCal creates her arena**

At the moment, when she is spawned, 631 tiles(504 on death mode) in 1 frame.
For a lot of people on multiplayer, this tends to cause a huge desync, where literally no projectiles appear, nor does the sepulcher or hearts for that matter. The sky also doesn't go black but the screen does get tinted red.
Not only this, but her arena can be blocked by things such as trees or platforms, as her blocks don't override them(which I assume is on purpose). This makes the arena exploitable and sometimes, depending on where you setup your arena, it might overlap with something that lets you go out of the arena by accident.
The desync can last from anywhere to 15 seconds to almost a whole minute depending on your internet connection. During this period, you appear invincible and stationary to other players, not spawning projectiles or attacking. When the desync period is over, every projectile and NPC is instantly updated which means a cheap/unreactable hit is very likely.
A potential fix would be to change it to a sort of force field, similar to what fargo does with the 3 NPC bosses, although rectangular to match the shape of the current arena. This would also give more freedom on how the arena looks.

**Rework or Improve Set Bonus of the Outdated Pre-Hardmode Armor(s)**

The ore armor rework made all of the ore armors have their own niche, and become powerful and viable options for a large portion of pre-Hardmode.

However, this creates the issue that comparatively, other still outdated pre-Hardmode armor become worse, as they now can't even compete with what should had been the most basic of armor (made of just ores).

The intent is not to make all of these armor as powerful as ore armors, but rather simply to also make them viable or serve as a "transitionary option" before the player can obtain full ore armors or boss armors.

Some of these armors include: Ninja Armor, Cactus Armor, Pumpkin Armor, Meteor Armor (still basically only have effect for space gun), Bee Armor (outclassed by Aerospec) and Necro Armor (pure stat stick).

Many of these can be buffed not just in their stats, but also giving interesting, theme fitting set bonus, for example:

Maybe give Ninja Armor wall climbing effect, or hook stats or even effect like an upward boost similar to Blunder Booster, which all fits the ninja/mobility theme.
Things like Pumpkin Armor can give permanent food buff like Exquisitely Stuffed, since it is a rare case of armor that is made purely of a food item.
Bee Armor can give honey buff...

So on and so forth. While these improvement might not make them immediately competitive, at the very least they will be viable option if the player skip out on mining and last them till the later boss armors.

Currently, the only use Frost Barriers see is being crafted into Auric Tesla Body Armor, despite being obtainable since Pre-Hardmode via Traveling Merchant (that is, IF he decides to spawn before a Full Moon night, using the Cosmolight when he’s present won’t help).

The accessory itself is barely useful; freezing enemies that are next to you if you get hit and granting immunity to the Chilled debuff, which is not only overshadowed by the likes of Glacial State and Frozen that prevent the player from moving at all, but is also already prevented by using the Ankh Shield or any of its upgrades.

Unlike the Flying Carpet, the effect is barely noticeable in Auric Tesla due to the armor mostly being used to fight Supreme Calamitas and the Exo Mechs, all of which tend to stay too far away from the player for its effect to matter, except Thanatos, who is instead immune to every debuff known to mankind.

Removing the Barrier from the recipe of Auric Tesla would just make this accessory even more useless, which is why I recommend deleting this thing altogether.

**Revamp the Various Dodge Effect So The Early Ones Are No Longer Too Weak**

Currently dodge effect all have an extensively long cooldown no matter when you can get them, not because they are too powerful, but because there is potential of them being too good for end game bosses that deal way more damage, eg: Supreme Calamitas.

However, this creates a problem as early damage are way less compare to what end game bosses can deal, therefore dodge effect become way too weak early game but super strong end game.

Thus I propose a simple solution along with my rationale:

1. Early dodges have long cooldown to prevent them from becoming too powerful at end game
2. Enemy damage scales with progression, eg: 50/400 = 12.5% at early game but higher at end game (eg: 500/900 = 56%)

Thus, why not just make dodges also scale in power?
Put a "threshold" on how much damage they can prevent so early dodges can have lower cooldown, while end game dodges stay just as powerful as it is

Something like:
Brain of Confusion: 45 seconds cooldown to dodge up to 125 damage maximum (damage exceeding 125 will be reduced by 125, and the rest still dealt to you)
Master Ninja Gear: 60 seconds cooldown to dodge up to 300 damage maximum (...); if damage taken is BELOW 125, have 45 seconds cooldown instead...
Statis Void Sash: 90 seconds cooldown to dodge with no limit on damage...; BELOW 300 = 60 seconds cooldown... ; BELOW 125 = 45 seconds cooldown...

(these numbers are just example of course)
This way both early and end game dodges still do their job, and end game dodges no longer go into stupidly long cooldown from a low damage hit.

While Duke's tornados are just fine in the first and second phases, they don't fit phase 3 at all, while all of your attention is focused on duke, you can very easily get sniped by a sharkron or run into the Cthulhunado. However, the thing that condemns this combination the most is actually the lighting filter. When Duke enters phase 3, the screen turns a dark blue. His Cthulhunados happen to be almost the same shade of blue, rendering them nigh-invisible.

**Add Poison Bullets and Arrows**

With the recent buffs to Rusty Medallion, the accessory is now a very effective applicator of the Irradiated debuff, which doubles the damage of all Sickness debuffs. The main issue with this is, outside of exactly Blowgun and Poison Darts, Rangers have no effective way to actually apply any of the Sickness debuffs. In fact, Poisoned is the only applicable debuff for this category obtainable in pre-Hardmode.

On that note, Rangers can obtain both Venom Arrows and Bullets in Hardmode, but this is long past when Medallion is useful. In pre-Hardmode, the previously mention Poison Darts exist, as well as the Flask of Poison, which gives 3 of the 5 classes a means of applying this debuff.

I argue that, following the logic of these items, Rangers should be able to craft Poison Arrows and Bullets using Stingers from Hornets in the Jungle, just like how nearly every other class gains access to this debuff. This would not only give Rusty Medallion an actually useful niche; being able to empower the Poisoned debuff of said ammo, but it would allow Sickness debuffs to actually be more useful and represented in the mod, which are currently very lacking atm.

They're vastly underrepresented in the game currently, and while it makes sense a Plague Doctor would work with the Plague debuff, I see no reason it wouldn't work with other Sicknesses.

I'm not sure how the programming works out but I feel like it could be solved by making the player body entirely invisible while keeping the armor layer the same transparency as it is. Probably just an edit to a line of code.

**Make Bloodflare Core interact directly off defense damage.**

Right now, Bloodflare Core (Referred to as BFC for the rest of the sugg) cuts defense in half when taking damage, and the defense is slowly restored while the player is also healed for 1HP per restored defense. When read into it, the way BFC heals the player is very similar to defense damage system. Having BFC directly interact with defense damage instead of having its own defense-cutting system would help defense damage integrate better into equipment as well as making BFC a little bit more interesting.

**Point Blank Fixes and Additions**

Most Ranger weapons have a unique mechanic called "Point Blank", where if a projectile fired from a weapon hits a target within 12 frames of its shot, it will be given 50% dmg boost.

However, because Point Blank is determined via frames, not distance, higher velocity weapons have an advantage over ones who have low velocity, effectively making high velocity weapons a whole 50% more powerful automatically.

Point Blank needs some sort of major change to improve the mechanic, make it more relevant throughout the game, and a way to benefit all weapons without too much bias.

Firstly, Point Blank should be based not on frames, but on tiles, and gradually decrease its damage bonus based on said range. Furthermore, the lackluster Ammo Box would be a great place to add some kind of modifier to Point Blank, as it is relatively useless, and such a change could help both Ammo Box in terms of power, and help integrate the Point Blank mechanic more into natural gameplay.

On top of this, Ranger desperately needs new variety in Pre-Hardmode accessory wise, so adding an early game accessory that interacts with Point Blank would be a great way to improve said variety, as well as introduce players to the mechanic more organically, other than the single line added to applicable weapons at the end of their descriptions.

Lastly, Point Blank heavily contradicts the mechanics of certain weapons, like Sniper Rifles, or self-damaging explosives, so giving the Rifle Scope line the ability to inverse Point Blank damage would allow these weapons to still benefit in some capacity, while still being balanced, as the player would need to be a significant distance away from the boss in order to benefit from the bonuses, while still being able to hit them, in contrast to the in-the-face style of play normal Point Blank emphasizes. It could also be turned off via visibility, just like Mana Flower's effect on Ethereal Talisman

**Give most bosses unique spawning ways and natural spawn occureances to them**

In Vanilla, you sometimes have to break a plant or three orbs/hearts, go fishing or have to defeat 4 pillars. While some of the Calamity bosses have unique spawning ways like the hive cyst,an altar, or accidentally killing a mermaid, all of the other bosses need you to craft an item and use it (to be fair, the rune of kos is very creative), and none of them can spawn naturally (exept Aquatic Scourge, but it's so rare that it literally never happened to me), which was possible in former versions, but it mostly persisted of the one plain sentence: "Something is approaching"

I see why this was removed, but it would be cool to have some diversity in how to spawn the bosses. For Yharon, for example, maybe you will have to find an rare egg laying underground, hatch it using, like, lava, I guess?, and brutally murder it, to get Yharons attention.
Someting in that direction.
And mabye sometimes the devourer of gods flies by in space, to check on the situation, getting aware of something wrong caused by the death of the moon lord, crossing the entire world, before disappearing again.

Something like that to make the world of Calamity feel more organic, and not just: "Huh so I killed now worm boss X, who is next? Ah, Boss Y, how do I craft the summon? Oh, I'm a little bit underprepared, let's grind for better accessories".
Let the world feel like it's not created to entertain you, but as if you began your journey in an perfectly balanced ecosystem, where the bosses also play their role, and not just hide until someone holds their respective item into the sky.

what do i mean by this?
well, as an example, you have the line of weapons related to Draedons Arsenal, which you craft, and then charge in order to use, and are unlocked over time as you construct more of the Codebreaker

but what if we expanded on this?
the Turrets guarding the old Mini-Labs, and Bio-Labs, could be repurposed (or crafted), to some degree in order to help the player, like automated defense, in exchange for needing to fuel them with Power Cells

at the current moment of the game, Power Cells are really easy to get, and farm, and a lot of them end up going to waste, because there isnt a whole lot to do with them. Recharge weapons, decrypting the Schematics, and being a money printer, which makes me quite sad, as i feel they could be used for a LOT more then three purposes

**Give more varied accessory loadouts to the late-game classes.**

It feels like the only late game accessories are very similar, mostly for damage mitigation and survivability. Maybe add some crafting trees to the hardmode accessories, so that classes can get damage boosts or new mechanics rather than just "do something when you get hit" or "have some more max stats".

obviously, especially on the harder difficulties, you need that tankiness, but I think it would do well to diversify roles a little more so you get a tougher tank and squishier, but deadlier, supports.

**slightly rework the individual accesories of Heart of the Elements**

Currently, all the accesories that combine into Heart of the Elements (except the one that drops from Anahita) are awful. I would say that there is one main contributing factor to this, and that is the fact that all the positions of the elemental are mostly stationary, and in the position that they will be in when they all combine into Heart of the Elements.

This means that all the elementals are locked into a single position. The brimstone elemental and the cloud elemental are hit the worst by this, as they are on the far right and the far left of the screen respectively, and will have trouble attacking a boss/enemies that are on the opposite side of the screen, or even in the middle of the screen. This is also why Anahita is the best one of the elementals, as she's right on top of your character. (But she's still bad individually).

An easy fix for this would be having the elementals chase you around, like an ordinary summon. The individual accesories would still be bad, mind you. But this change would help tremendously with letting the elementals stand out on their own. It would also make it less obvious that these accesories only exist to combine into Heart of the Elements.

remove the sponge/the absorber armor crunch immunity and replace it with defense damage immunity/resistance

in their current state the sponge and absorber offer immunity to armor crunch, despite the fact that theyre both aquired at a point in time where no npcs will inflict this debuff (barring ravager when fought post provi). this effectively makes the immunity useless. on top of that, most of the stats offered are arguably lackluster (mushroom spores late game: negligable; damage converted into health: negligable). the most useful stats are the dr and the life boost, which are outclassed by other accs (say, affliction or rampart of deitites).

defense damage is a real threat at all points in the game and a resistance or immunity to it would instead of immunity to armor crunch would make these two accs significantly better for their relative tiers.

i am willing to accept that perhaps defense damage resistances are too powerful, if that were the case, i would atill advocate for the removal of the armor crunch immunity and a buff to other stats (specifically movement speed, max life, flat regen, damage absorbered into health).

**Retier or Rework The Lacerator**

The Lacerator is a yoyo that have no special effect other than it give you a 2hp regen buff when hitting an enemy. It have no projectile, no special gimmick or anything, just a pure contact damage yoyo.

For performance, it is overall just bad. Being available after Providence along with other 2 yoyos (Verdant and Solar Flare), it is a strictly worse version of Solar Flare as both are contact yoyo while Solar Flare have on-hit effect.

This fact also basically make the weapon feel redundant as there is another weapon in the same subclass that is available at the same time but better.

Thus, I suggest to retier Lacerator so that it can fill a different point of progression compare to the other 2 yoyos. Some place like post-Polterghast will fit with the bloodflare theme which I feel is probably the most appropriate. Otherwise, this weapon should be rework to be more standout (or be removed).

**Tweak on Devourer of God's Body Lasers To Make Them More Fair**

(body lasers = the one that it consistently spam on a constant timing, not the big 'laser wall' in Phase 2 nor the 'laser net' where DoG do 2 waves and turn invisible in Phase 1)

Current Devourer of God's body laser is by far the most frustrating part of the fight, here are the takeaways:

Lasers are shoot out from DoG's body segments, and have adjusted projectile speed so that they "reach you" at the same time. However, this causes several problems namely that:

1. when a body segment is close to you, some lasers become extremely slow and basically become a "mine" on the field

2. if DoG is extended/stretched straight (such as being far away from you), it will still shoot lasers but the laser will linger for a very long time. This causes a constant barrage of laser that fly across the map that is untrackable (as it happen off screen)

3. laser telegraph fades away when far away, resulting in some of the lasers straight up not being telegraphed despite still reaching you in time

4. this further punish any attempt of staying close to DoG's head (which is supposed to be high risk high reward) because you will face with a barrage of laser that forces you to turn away, and further encourage staying far away which is already the less risk option

While there are many potential fix, here is my own example solution: simply massively increase the projectile speed of the lasers (so that they fly pass you very quickly) and make their "time of arrival" at your location consistent. That way it solves the lingering lasers, lack of telegraph, mine field and also allow you to have more room to stay close to the head as you do not have to worry about off screen projectiles, while making the fight much more proactive.

**Change the Sparkling Empress' weapon identity**

Prism weapons are kinda weird and a balance mess, which is why this particularly unique weapon kinda sucks. But what if we changed this around and turned this weapon on its head?
It's obtainable by fishing in the Sunken Sea, has a beam attack and on kill it makes an enemy explode into 2 to 3 shards that deal 20% of the weapon's damage (2 base damage).

What if, instead of focussing the weapon's beam attack as its main design and balance point, we focused on its on kill effect?
Those 2-3 shards could become a higher number (with still higher damage, because 20% feels incredibly weak), or they could obtain a Burnt Sienna type of effect as pickable orbs that give the player a mage-related boost (My idea was making it replenish a decently high amount of mana to let them continuously shoot their beam!), or they could give any enemy they hit a debuff!

It's a shame that such an unique weapon in pre-hardmode has to feel this sluggish to use because of its very prism-like nature. Just like the Dragoon Drizzlefish, it could reward curious players with a great weapon for actually fishing in the new biome's environment!

**Rework both the Celestial Jewel and the Astral Arcanum**

At the moment, these accessories are only notable for their funny gimmick of being infinite teleportation potions, or being able to teleport you to your jungle/dungeon/underworld.
Their other effects are just horrible, for the case of the Celestial, a whopping 8 def and 2 (two) regen and then 11 more def and 2 more regen when under a debuff, for something post aureus this is just not cutting it compared to other accessories.

As for the Arcanum, god this thing is bad, a titanic 12 def and 3 regen, then 27 def and 6 regen when debuffed, for a post ML and usually post prov accessory, this is just awful and as a cherry on top, you get immunity to the Astral Infection even though the last relevant thing that inflicts that is Astrum Deus
Also their regen gets cut in half when you're under the effect of any of the drunk princess' drinks (imagine getting nerfed by some of the best potions in the mod)

I actually really like the idea of getting buffed while under a debuff to make them sting a bit less, old dukes scales does this while also having a nice damage boost as your HP drops, community also does the regen boost while debuffed but it also gives more stats, and laudanum converting debuffs into buffs is really cool (would like to do something extra tho)
I hope they can give these accs something to make them more than just a funny meme you use for a moment or two.

**Improve Post-Plantera Wings**

Post-Plantera is already a really problematic tier when it comes to bloat, having the most content unlocked at the same time compared to almost any other stage of the game. This is just as true when it comes to its wings.

Due to balancing decisions on behalf of the Vanilla development team, the Festive, Tattered Fairy, and Spooky wings all have stats equivalent to post-Golem wings in Calamity's progression. While Spooky is restricted to Summoner synergies exclusively, Festive and Tattered Fairy are not. On top of this, these two wings have some of the best bonus effects for the tier.

Festive gives +40 max life, which is one of the best stats an item can have in Calamity for tanking. On the other hand, Tattered Fairy gives an unconditional 5% damage and 5% crit. Beetle, Spectre, and Shroomite Hoverboard have similar bonuses to Tattered Fairy, but class locked and with the condition that the player is wearing their respective armor, and with worse wing stats. I'd also like to argue that Mothron Wings are now heavily outclassed as a generic wing by it's other event counterparts as well.

Now I don't think the Holiday moon wings should be nerfed, but if you go out of your way to build around a worse set of wings for special set synergies, I feel like those bonuses should at least outweigh those of the generic, better stated wings. Giving Spectre, like, mana cost reduction or Beetle a bit of melee speed feels like it would be able to edge their offensive bonuses a bit further past the fully generic options without breaking them. Obviously completely unique effects would be the best, but would understandably be a lot of effort, so I imagine some slight stat buffs would be enough. And for Mothron specifically, I think it could benefit greatly as an Umbraphile set bonus wing, since Rogue has none and both Umbraphile and Mothron Wings are obtained in the same event with similar theming, allowing it to finally have a niche.

**Merge Counter Scarf into Statis' Ninja Belt's Recipe**

This will make the Belt&Void Sash both have 2 seperate dodges: one is passive, the other take effects when you are dashing.
Of course you might think 'No way it would be OP', but let me explain first.
The Belt has 3 main effects: the Dash, a 90s cooldown dodge and some mobility bonus. However, almost none of these effects are optimized choices, compared to those dashing shields, at the item's stage:

The Dash: the Belt has a dash that is longer than Asgard's Valor's one, but is shorter than Elysian Aegis. However, It doesn't have shield dashes' ability which let you counter contact damage. After all, a dash is mainly used for it's turning effect, meaning that dash length doesn't matter that much, often making Asgard/Elysian dash more preferred than the belt.

The Dodge: The Belt gives you a guaranteed dodge with a 90 second cooldown, which is good overall. However, due to BoC(or the amalgamated brain&the amalgam) also given a 90s dodge and the fact that they are also commonly taken accessories, having a dodge became a less significant advantage over dashing shields, since passive dodge effects can't stack (but scarf one does).

Mobility Bonus: In the current version of calamity, large amount of movement speed bonus is no longer urgently needed. Moreover, when you get the Belt, the game is already in Post-ML, where the Bosses more or less require you to learn their attack patterns, rather than simply outrunning them with mobility(you hardly can), in order to survive. On the other hand, dashing shields offer defense stats&max health, which is almost always solid boost in case of surviving.

These downsides made Shields more or less choosed over Statis' Ninja Belt. So, consider adding another dodge(but it requires some skills), which also makes sense lore-wise because of Statis' ninja-like nature, may make it a better choice when compared to the shields.

**Buff/Rework the Laudanum**

The Laudanum is an interesting accessory idea, an accessory that converts debuffs into buffs and extending their durations and giving some pretty strong buffs.
The only issue are the debuffs this effects, they are all such uncommon debuffs when fighting bosses, it doesn't help that a lot of the buffs that it does give, are defensive buffs, so they only really get value out of getting hit twice very quickly, although against regular mobs it definitely can make your experience smoother acting as a enhanced ankh/asgards valor for general mobbing

Extending the duration of the debuffs is a great idea but in practice it's just not enough, the durations need to be way longer, most debuffs only last a few seconds so double that is still barely anything, at best this turns the 8 seconds of armour crunch from golem into 16 whole seconds.

And to top it off, you need to be inflicted with these debuffs, meaning the anhk shield and it's upgrades tear this thing apart.

I think this should also buff you while under the effects DOT debuffs (not negate them tho), it wouldn't be too hard either, just have the game give a buff for each category of DOT (eg cold/electricity/heat/sickness/water)
That'd make this accessory far more applicable for the majority of bosses instead of a random handful and not completely outclassed by the ankh and it's upgrades, this would also by extension, make the occult skull crown a more viable accessory for the point in the game you would obtain it.

Knockback immunity is a crucial feature as it gets rid of annoying knockbacks that could disorient the player, regardless of classes. Yet this feature is locked behind a line of accessories (Cobalt Shield and its upgrades) and a rogue armor (Titan Heart armor for theming). Giving a way to permanently apply knockback immunity later in the game removes a good chunk of roadblocks in accessory variety as it lets the player build accessories to their liking instead of relying on a line of accessories to not be knocked around and disoriented on every hits taken.

**Nerf rogue in multiplayer/Bosses not affected by aggro**

GOD, ROGUE IS BROKEN IN MULTIPLAYER.

You literally can stand still 90% of the fight and spam stealth strikes while everyone else looks like a support rather than dps unless everyone else dies too fast.

**Make Drunk Princess' Alcohols Have Higher Downside (especially life regen ones)**

Alcohols basically trade off some of your defensive capability for powerful buffs. However, for these 4 they are way too powerful for seemingly no cost.

For reference, 2 life regen = 1 hp per second, so even for a buff as powerful as Bloody Mary you only go into -1 HP/second, which is directly compensated by the buff itself for the fact that it reduce fight duration significantly.

In general, I feel the life regen cost of alcohols are just not as substantial as defense loss, (to certain degree some of the above even have too low defense cost). For example making the life regen alcohols also apply a negative multiplier to your hp regen (reverse campfire), 'progressive' alcohol poisoning, reduced max HP as a cost and so on.

This is so that these buffs actually have a cost rather than in most case is almost completely free (Regeneration potion provide +4 life regen/2hp per second, which singlehandedly overwrite 3 of these alcohols combined).

I don't think Brimstone Flames should be buffed considering how many enemies and weapons inflict it, as it would be a balancing nightmare, and adding any bonus effects to the Flask would be very weird, but at the very least the cost of this mediocre Flask should be drastically reduced considering how lackluster it is to its alternatives. Making it take just the fish, or even just Essences of Chaos would make it more in line with its strength.

The necro armor is in a very bad state currently. Its only available post skeletron in the dungeon, and is not worth the grind. The armor is not terrible but is outclassed compared to aerospec and Statigel armor, despite both not being for any class in particular. The primary reason for this lack of power is the very bad set bonus effect, being only a 20% ammo reservation and 10% critcal strike chance (which is worse additional critical strike chance then what statigel gives and barely better crit chance then aerospec). I feel like similar to the molten armor getting an improved set bonus effect (lava charm effect and increased true melee damage) the necro armor should at least have something to make it viable compared to stategel and aerospec. One idea i have is giving in a brain of confusion like dodge with a similar timer and increasing ranged damage by 5 or 10% for 15 seconds after the dodge is activated. The other idea I have is for 2-3 bone fragments to come out of a projectile shot on a crit, with each fragment doing 20% of the base weapon's damage. Maybe both effects would be good, but I don't see that as nesscarry.

The Broken Water Filter chest is easy to find, as it always spawns just below the surface.

The Effigy of Decay chest spawned buried in sandstone, which is odd.

The Rusty Beacon Prototype chest took awhile to find, because the scrap piles seem to like generating right above the abyss, and the chest I was looking for, which does not glow well with spelunker effects mind you, was in the pitch-black abyss.

The Rusty Medallion chest, which supposedly spawns anywhere in the lower abyss, did not spawn. No really, I went and tore the entire area apart down to its last atom, there was not a fourth chest for as hard as I looked. Maybe it spawned, but I'll never know.

Just give each one a small structure, about the size of a Shrine, and a little glowing Sulphur Torch or whatever. That way, if its there, you know its there. If it isn't, you know it isn't.

Multiplayer playthroughs are already something that requires a lot of self-balancing on the players part, from death limits to raising boss health in the config.

The suggestion is so that the type of ore they generate are at least semi-consistent, where there will be at least one of each type of ore that can be generated, namely: tin, copper, iron, lead, tungsten, silver, gold and platinum.

Make pre-ML ores turn into Astral Ore when the Clentaminator is used on them with the right solution.

In a recent update, Astral Ore was made to replace regular ores within the Astral Infection when it spawns. However, the Clentaminator with astral solution, which does basically the same thing as the astral meteor when used, doesn't. This would make for a unique way of renewably obtaining astral ore, rather than the current slime method, which is boring and overused. It would also remind people the Clentaminator exists and give it more of a purpose.

Furthermore, sometimes the infection does not generate properly due to players building sky bridges. The only choice then would be to spend long hours of toil farming random slimes to get astral ore. Not only would the method I propose be more unique and interesting, it'd also potentially be way faster and it'd give copper and tin a use outside of the first Codebreaker component.

**Rename the Bloody Edge.**

This weapon is intended to be the crimson counterpart to the Night's Edge itself. Yes, Vanilla Terraria's very first legendary sword, and the first "very big recipe for very big damage" item. So surely, this crimson weapon should get a really cool name to back itself up?
Nope, you get the Bloody Edge. That name is just too basic, and it is also extremely similar to its Crimson-exclusive material, the Blood Butcherer. The weapon deserves a much better title, so lets give it a really cool name, something like "Scarlet Feast". (totally not a monster hunter ref)

**Make the Devourer of Gods not do any contact damage on his head when he first spawns**

As of right now, when spawning the Devourer, he starts off in a passive state and his body does no contact damage. However, his head does. Sometimes he happens to ram you with his head right away when he spawns, making it very annoying and quite frankly unnecessary. Removing contact damage from his head at the start would make it more consistent with the rest of his body and save us some time.

Currently these two candles have white rarity, meaning they're susceptible to being destroyed by lava.

Instead, they should be Yellow rarity, because they're post-Plantera.

**Add Magiluminescence's (as material) and Effect to Master Ninja Gear Upgrades**

Currently there are 2 main line of dash accessories:
i) Asgards Valor line - ram to avoid contact damage, knockback and debuff immunity and defense; focus on defensive maneuver
ii) Master Ninja Gear line - longer dash to get away from attacks, a dodge to help avoid damage and mobility bonuses; focus on damage avoidance through anticipation and clever positioning

However, as of currently Master Ninja Gear (MNG) is massively outclassed due to ram (by itself) being superior to MNG's longer dash, which is a trend that continues down the entire line.

Thus, as a buff to MNG line, I feel Magiluminescence is a perfect fit to the item line. Following are the rationale:

1. With the inclusion of Frog Leg in Statis' Ninja Belt, the item line have an obvious focus on mobility item as its materials

2. Magiluminescence is an amazing accessory but by itself is generally not worth a slot (over say emblems for damage), but fits perfectly if it gets a combination upgrade into another useful accessory

3. Acceleration and deceleration are both useful in skilled maneuver ability to dodge attack through providing more options to dodge (which fits MNG's theme)

4. One noticeable problem is the longer dash of MNG line tend to cause "overdashing" (dash too far and run into a different attack), Magiluminescence helps with that by providing stronger deceleration

**Make Rain Apply Wet to Enemies Under it**

This suggestion is mostly because of the debuff system reworked by Calamity. Due to this, automatically applying wet to any enemies caught by a rain will make them weak to electric-type debuff, thus maximizing things like Tesla Potion's potential, without the need of building an arena filled with water.
In addition, this also makes sense because surface enemies SHOULD be wet when it's raining.

**Revert the nerf to Crystal Assassin armor**

If this was vanilla, I could see a nerf to around 10% damage and 10% crit if only T1 armors were allowed, however in Calamity both are significantly buffed to the point where vanilla Crystal Assassin would act as a sidegrade, not an upgrade, in 2 images I have the vanilla stats vs the Calamity stats, showing how much worse Crystal Assassin is even with the dash, as the armor requirement simply isn't enough to justify losing a ton of stats just for an extra accessory, especially when Shield of Cthulhu and Counter Scarf still exist, simply revert the nerf that removes the 10% damage and 10% crit from the set bonus and the armor won't be significantly worse than the T1 armors

Also IMPORTANT reminder that you don't gain iframes or anything from dashing through an enemy with Crystal Assassin armor, nor can you dash through an enemy at ALL unless you have a Cobalt Shield or better

**Make permanent mana upgrades obtainable through Permafrost**

As of the moment, Permafrost is a fairly uninteresting npc, with his sole purpose being that of being a vendor npc selling fairly obscure and unexciting weapons on a very limited range of points in progression. Unlike the Sea King, the Bandit and the Drunk Princess, Permafrost lacks any identity outside of being a vendor and gives the player little incentive to keep revisiting him across progression. On a wholly different note, there's the consumable permanent mana upgrades. These are, like almost every other powerup, most weapons, most significant armor sets and most accessories acquired through crafting, with the player never being told of that they can acquire these upgrades, and with their method of acquisition being a bit uninspired.

Considering how Permafrost is already thematically connected to magical things, making these permanent mana upgrades be unlocked via him in some way would both give Permafrost a unique, memorable and impactful mechanic as an npc and open up the way for much more unique and memorable methods of obtaining the permanent mana upgrades.

**Reworking Angling kits**

Angling kits now require keys rewarded relatively commonly by angler's fish quests to be opened. Sandy angling kits (Desert Scourge ones) have decreased chance to drop each item overall, while the Bleached angling kits (Aquatic Scourge ones) have a more decent increase.

As of right now, they're way too efficient ways to get the angler items because of how fast Desert Scourge becomes an easily killable boss as you progress, making the obtaining of these items basically free. With that, these will turn into alternative ways to have the same result (getting the items) but that come with a penalty instead of being objectively easier and better ways, with the penalty as being inneficient (but still working) ways to get the items until early-hardmode, and in which even then you'd still have to defeat a relatively tough boss again and again to get the items unless you want them for even later in the game (which would be a penalty for waiting the boss in question to be farmable). All of that would make fishing still be completely unneeded to the player's desire as to get these items, but rewarding to be done.

**Smooth Crush Depth's Damage Increase**

Crush Depth deals 30 damage per second pre-Hardmode, and is weakened by enemies' defense stats. However it deals 90 dps once WoF is defeated, which is a massive 200% boost. This creates various issues, like the Abyssal Amulet, an item you can get pre-Boss, will let you destroy Desert Scourge in literally no time, while it has completely no effect on late-preHM enemies like Skeletron's Hands, due to their >12 defense.
Ironically, Skeletron's Hands are only weak to Water-type debuffs, and Crush Depth is the only water-type debuff that focuses on damage.

Make Crush Depth's damage increase smoothier, like letting it deal 20 dps pre-DS, 30 pre-Aerialite and 50 pre-WoF will improve the experience. Enemies' defense will still affect Crush Depth's DoT, so it won't really deal that much damage.

I wouldn't say Ball O' Fugu is a direct upgrade or invalidates the other weapons, but they fill the same very specific niche of post Skeletron/pre Slime God flail weapons. I think the Ball O Fugu should be reworked into a different style of melee weapon, or removed.

**Remove Cores of Chaos/Eleum/Sunlight.**

As it stands now, the Cores of X are required to craft a number of weapons, tools, and the very important material Cores of Calamity.
However, only 4 of the items crafted with the trio require them to keep their place in progression; all of the others use a material on the same or higher tier.
those four items are: chaos/tranquility candle, frostcrush valari, and tears of heaven.

The cores provide a useless sink for ectoplasm at a period where it could be used for far more important materials; this is especially true considering that, except for the 4 previously mentioned:

8/14 recipes using cores of sunlight are post moonlord
all recipes using cores of eleum are post moonlord
1/12 recipes using cores of chaos are post moonlord (damnit hydrothermic ruining my stats)

I propose removing the three cores, and make their base essences craft into their items - for the exactly four items that actually need them, add in ectoplasm or a similar material to keep their progression.
For core of calamity - ectoplasm could be added to the recipe, to keep it as a post clone+plant material.

**Rework the acquisition of terra weapons**

Most terra weapons are currently crafting with living shards, a material dropped by plantera whose (largely) only purpose is to craft said terra weapons. This makes said weapons feel largely like instant grabs instead of something you have to actively work for, like killing a Mothron for the terra blade. It also heavily overshadows the weapons you get from plantera/cal clone, a pretty hefty tier of weapons. Here are a couple different ideas to solve this problem.

-Simplest solution is to make the weapons upgraded at a cyborg. This doesn’t solve a lot of problems, but it at least justifies both cyborg's existence and devalues the already questionable living shards.
-Give a crafting material to each “post-plantera class area”. For this I refer to vanilla’s design in areas and how each class (kind of) gets their own area. For melee this would be aforementioned mothron for terra blade, pumpkin moon for summoners’, dungeon for mages, and a mix of dungeon and mushroom for rangers. Giving each of these areas an additional “quest” in some way to finish the terra weapons would make it a lot more enticing.
-Remove the damn weapons. They are a largely shallow husk (at the moment) of one of the most iconic terraria weapons, and the mod could do without them. This has massive ramifications though, and is likely the most problematic of the solutions.

Progression locked potion being dropped from crates have a precedent too, namely that Profaned Rage and Holy Wrath potions are dropped from Hallowed/Divine crates post Providence's defeat; and is also the case of gravity normalizer and astral injection post-Astrum Aureus from Astral crates.

While Drunk Princess sells lifeforce directly, not all players (especially new players) is aware of it due to the specific requirement of having to craft Fabsol's Vodka.

Thus, for the sake of consistency (and to make fishing crates more rewarding) Lifeforce Potion should be dropped from Hardmode crates.

**Rework Eidolon Staff**

As it stands, this post-Polterghast mage weapon is primarily used for Devourer of Gods. It's function of spawning more lingering projectiles on each hit makes it more suitable for the worm boss that is DoG, even if his body segments take little damage. However, that is where the problem arises: It is EXTREMELY laggy due to it summoning more lingering projectiles per segment hit, and the projectiles take a long time to dissipate if he doesn't move out of the way. The only thing that would make it worth to use is making it have an extraordinarily high damage output, but that's not realistic, or a good idea.

So, yeah. In it's current state, it's just a super laggy weapon, and when its not producing lag (i.e.: when its hitting a single target, like Old Duke or Yharon), it is below average. Reworking it to still have on-tier dps WITHOUT the huge lag potential is a good idea.

However we now have Frostbite that deals 25 per second, and better fits the stage of these items.

In addition, vanilla HM ice weapons will deal Frostbite too once tml port completes, so giving calamity's ice weapons Frostbite will also keep up consistency.

P.S. Frostbite already exists as a vanilla debuff from Frost Armor since 1.4.1 so I assume there won't be much problem in coding.

Flask of Brimstone doesn't even have advantages in the case of enemy immunity. Only Skeletron and Prime are immune to Cursed Flames while not immune to Brimstone Flames.

In the older versions this wasn't a problem because FoB wasn't actually considered a flask at that time, and will stack with FoCF. However it became a type of flask after 2.0.1.002, making them not stackable. Players now almost never choose FoB over FoCF due to the funny 24>20 fact.

In short, by the time you get to use these effect, they are just straight up useless and a waste of buff slots, especially that super fast firing weapon like Megashark already have ammo reservation effect on the weapon itself.

These effect should simply be buffed sufficiently so that at the very least they are worth using. Even a 40-50% can be debatable on whether it is worth it but at least it will no longer be useless.

Daybroken, as a vanilla debuff, has no icon of its own, and uses Stardust dragon's instead, bcuz it can never be inflicted to players, thus nullifying the purpose to have one.

In Calamity however, as debuffs are now displayed above enemies as a feature, it would be obviously better for Daybroken to have its own icon, as having a 'Stardust Dragon' looking debuff floating above Bosses is so much strange and confusing. On the other hand, Nightwither, quite the opposite of Daybroken, has its own icon. An icon for Daybroken will also improve consistency.

Besides vanilla Solar Fragment weapons, at least 12 weapons from Calamity inflict Daybroken too according to wiki page, so eliminating this confusion would be great for a bunch of things.

With only a 25% chance of finding them, and many of the mini bosses not exactly being the most common thing to find (cragmaw mire, mauler and giant clam), getting a full set of relics can be extremely tedious, having to refight events over and over to get some of them.

**Make Merchant/Demolitionist Sells The Rest of The Parts of Mining Armor At Certain Point**

With the Calamity buff to the armor set, it become an actual utility armor that can significantly aid the player in early resource gathering.

However, the problem with the armor is that its part are obtained from Undead Miner which only have a low chance to drop the parts, and may drop duplicated parts that you already have.

Thus, unless you specifically searching for it or are very lucky, by the time you get the entire set you migt already have better armor (like gold or platinum armor) just from mining during exploration.

While technically usable on Hardmode Ores too, it is generally not needed due to abundant amount of ores generated with the Calamity Hardmode ore rework system, and your pickspeed get so fast that the cooldown become an actual handicap.

Thus, I think the main way to increase its effectiveness will be making it available easier without relying on RNG, such as making NPCs sell the parts pass certain point of progression (eg: defeating Eye of Cthulhu which can happen as soon as you have 200 max HP from natural spawn); as Merchant already sell the mining helmet.

**Rework the Wood Armors into Utility Sets**

Wood Armors currently are nothing more than glorified vanity sets. With defense values similar to utility sets like Angler and Mining armor, I think this would be a great opportunity to create Farming utility sets.

Some examples of effects the new Wood Armor set bonuses could have are stats like;
-automatically replanting trees
-automatically placing grass seeds when breaking dirt
-bonus herb returns from breaking their specific biome's herb or being able to harvest them 'out of season' (ex; Waterleaf when it isn't raining, Deathweed outside of a Full/Blood Moon)
-etc.

Farming is one of the most tedious things to do in Terraria currently, with only the Staff of Regrowth existing as a tool to assist in it, while Fishing and Mining have swathes of accessories, potions, and armors. Any of these effects would help vastly with this, while also giving Wood armors an actual purpose. You could also give Pearlwood all of these effects on one set, which would also give it a purpose, and be in line with idea of Hardmode rewarding the player with more compact utility tools.

**Galaxia, to encourage more versatile ultilizing in combat, gives special boosts to the attunements when cycling through them**

Galaxia, which can be considered the final upgrade of Biome Blade series ( AotC merges its effects but lacks the ability to 'attune' ), has 4 distinct attunements for players to choose. However, despite how cool it appears, Galaxia is actually against the concept of 'Ultilizing the power of different biomes', because if you want to use right-click, you will have to interrupt your current attack ( and wait until it returns if you are using Aries'Wrath ) , resulting in significant damage loss, so players almost always stick to one single strong attunement throughout combat, making the whole attunement system of Galaxia more or less awkward.

The solution is, when cycling through the attunements, give boost to the next one. It does not need to be a flat increase in damage stats but can be just a improve in controllability, like letting these attunements reach maximum charge way faster for one use after being switched to; or even making the next attunement inherit some effects of the previous one for a couple of seconds, similar to how True Biome Blade's passive attune behaves.

Things like this will massively increase the usability of all attunements without making a single one become too powerful, while also encouraging more versatile use of right-click ability, truly fitting the weapon's theme of 'the power of the constellations'.

However nothing as of yet increases their painfully slow growth rate. So as not to encourage repeatedly running over them for an hour, which would be extremely tedious, I suggest this be in the form of a 30 minute buff to any plants you walk over, with the exact multiplier of course determined by the Dev team.

**Add compatibility with the Dash Keybind mod or a new dash keybind**

Terraria dashes in general are very clunky and buggy at times, ignoring your inputs, misinterpreting your inputs, and creating false inputs. This can lead to a lot of unintended hits on bosses that require precision, especially ones with a lot of bullet hell or that encourage rams (and rams sometimes not working doesn’t help either.) The double-tap function also gets really hard on the hands and can be a major detriment to those with joint or muscular conditions.
Giving Calamity dashes some kind of keybind compatibility would ease a lot of the pain caused by, well, Terraria being the way it is.

**Add more building options with existing materials that correlate with base game furniture and wall options, as well as add more options for building.**

There's quite a lot of building options in Terraria: Calamity Mod, however there's a few things missing and I personally believe the lack of these items should be mitigated. I was inspired to make this suggestion when I was building a Pre-Hardmode housing option for the Sulphuric Sea, and realized that Acidwood has no fence wall variant, unlike every other vanilla wood (including Pearlwood)! Astral monolith to me hasn't felt like a wood and more like bark. I would like there to be a plank variant of the block, and that should also have a fence wall variant (if that wasn't obvious). Other things like Polished Profaned Crystal Blocks (just an idea of mine) could also be added (Other blocks like brick variants of blocks and slab versions of blocks may be included). I'm leaving this open-ended for players to suggest addons to this. The reason I'm requesting this is because building is a small but still prevalent culture in Terraria, and to keep consistent with that, building options should be a wide range of options. I know the options we have now are a variety of building blocks that are all unique, but I don't think a builder's update would hurt too bad, and it would very much help out the builders in this community. I am not asking for resprites of any existing blocks, however I am suggestion additions alongside the current blocks and walls we have. Again, the consistency is convenient for us builders but I also understand if this suggestion is turned down, as this isn't a balance or feature suggestion. It is simply a builder's request.

edit: I have overlooked spooky wood and i apologize to all summoners because spooky wood has no fence wall.

**Make Gelatin Crystals Consumable and Turn Calamity's Recipe for Them Into A Non-Consumable Version**

The Gelatin Crystal for Queen Slime is a very unique method of obtaining a Boss Spawner, similarly to how Duke uses Truffle Worms, the player must go to the Underground Hallow and look around for rare Gelatin Crystals which mimic Crystal Shards.

It's a very unique way to obtain a summon item, but they were clearly made with being consumed in mind. They're surprisingly common. Calamity makes them non-consumable, so frequently when mining in the Hallow, these can end up cluttering your inventory, and are basically useless after the first one you find. On top of this, Calamity adds a recipe for it, which removes even more of the uniqueness of this item. It doesn't even help much if you have a poorly generated Hallow since it requires a lot of Hallowed Underground materials.

I think making the main Crystal consumable again, and turning the recipe into a craft for a Non-Consumable version, possibly made after beating the boss, similarly to the Evil 2 Bosses, Astrum Deus, or SCal, (though just making the recipe a bit more complex would be fine for a pre-Fight summon too) would help maintain the uniqueness of this boss's summon method, and help reduce the clutter while mining in the Hallow.

Furthermore, it could help limit easy Soul of Light grinding to require at least a bit of effort, as currently, if you can defeat her, after you get a single spawner, you basically have an unlimited amount. Putting the Non-Consumable spawner behind the Hardmode Anvil could make gathering these Souls at least a bit more challenging since you'd need to collect more Gelatin Crystals.

**Improve the Set Bonus of Set Wings or Make Them Give Unique Set Dependent Effect So That They Are Actual Competition to Stand-alone Wings)**

To put it simply many set wings (aka: wings that match a certain armor set) have bad stats or set bonus to balance them out so that they are not overpowered when paired with the armor.

On the other hand, Stand-alone wings are buffed to give better stats due to them not being part of an armor set, therefore not offering set bonus.

However, as these 2 approaches are implemented at the same time, this creates a weird situation where many Stand-alone wings become straight up better than Set Wings in every single ways.

For example: Frozen Wing give 2% damage and 1% crit (if wearing Frost Armor); which is much worse than just Bat Wing which not only give 7% damage and 3% crit at night and have no armor condition, but the wing speed/stats itself is also better;
Another example is Hoverboard vs Tattered Fairy Wings; which Hoverboard not only is locked into a single subclass of weapon but also provide less useful bonus in every way.

In short, set wings bonus should be buffed as they are specific armor restricted OR to make them have effect that are more synergistic towards their respective armor set.

For example, Frozen Wing can amplify the damage of frostbite debuff applied by Frost Armor which directly synergize with its armor set. Otherwise, you can also go crazy with unique effect for example have Hoverboard make it so your Shroomite subclass bonus apply to all ranger weapon instead and give bonus damage temporary when subclass switching.

For now, these set wings just feels really underutilized and their effect are often underwhelming, and they have much potential to be improved massively.

**Change Cryogen and AS's order in Boss list.**

Particularly after Calamity's Early HM progression rework, it no longer really makes sense for Cryo to be pre-Mechs: Weapon drops on its own are definitely strong overall, while Cryonic bars require at least adamanite forge to make, that is obtained post 2 mechs, so defeating Cryo premech unlocks smth you can't obtain at that moment; Meanwhile, AS can be challenged as early as in pre-HM, which is technically impossible for Cryo and Brimstone Elemental, and T2 Acid Rain gears require only normal anvil -- it does not actually need you to do 1 mech prior to AS. Even in the case of kill time, AS is 2 minutes, shorter than any of mech boss, while there are a bunch of weapons that excel in eliminating worm bosses.

To make it short: imo many of AS's mechanics make it fit pre-mech more than Cryogen, so a shift in progression order might be handy. If necessary, the Bosses' damage&health can also get tweaked.

**Move Celestial Shell To A Later Point In Progression**

This accessory is understandably overpowered as it is near the end of the vanilla progression (after Golem, you only have Lunatic Cultist and Moon Lord himself).

However, in Calamity with the consideration of the entire post-Moon Lord progression, this item is beyond overpowered.

With the exception of True Melee weapon (do note that melee speed also works on many projectile melee weapon), Celestial Shell is straight up equivalent to power to Elemental Gauntlet, the final melee class accessory. (Deadshoot Brooch is also here just for comparison of what a class accessory is like for other classes)

Celestial Stone is already post-Golem so it can be leave as it is (basically function as the substitute to Celestial Shell), but Celestial Shell itself have to be moved to a later progression due to how overpowered it is.

**Make the Eldritch Tome use whip arcs instead**

Instead of using the hex doll tendrils that just extend outward in random directions, using whips and their damaging arc would likely look better due to being able to sprite individual segments as flesh tendrils not just particles and have a more consistent area of effect due to whip arcs being more consistent than the random spread of Hex dolls for the weapon.

Maybe you could make it so the tendrils sometimes arc upwards or downwards to look a bit more visually interesting adding some minimal variation to the whips' movement.

by "using whips" I mean simply using whips to deal the weapon's magic damage not actually making it a summon weapon, it's a repurpose of the whip system as just a damage dealing arc.

**Give high-damaging rate but low-damage weapons armor penetration on their own**

Sure, Armor pen on accessories like Shark Tooth Necklace tree is a HELL to balance because it affects every single attack, making it technically impossible to care for high and low damaging rate weapons at the same time.
So, how about adjusting(lower) those high-rate weapons' base stats, then give them some exclusive decent armor pen from the very start? This will make all weapons a whole level easier to balance, because enemies with high defense will no longer make HUGE differences like reducing fast weapons' damage to 1/2s, as well as making these low damage weapons no longer desperately need STN/RTN to work at all.

This already has examples in vanilla game: Dark harvest's energy, Blade staff, Grass Blade 1.4.4 projectile, etc. and they all deal extremely good amount of damage, so I assume it would be cool if some Calamity weapons have this mechanic: it doesn't need to be as broken like how vanilla Dark harvest is, but at least it makes many weapons no longer desperately needs Ichor/STN/RTN to work.

**Refine the Non-Offensive Aspect of Adrenaline**

Currently the only non-offensive aspect of Adrenaline is it give Damage Reduction for 1 hit if you get hit after the bar is filled, which is barely a compensation for the damage potential you loss by losing Adrenaline.

Besides, I feel the current Adrenaline bonus is too extreme, where it melts early bosses that are already very easy to not get hit (like pre-Hardmode bosses) while for end game bosses (like post-Moon Lord bosses) the damage boost while is super nice, often will not allow you to secure the fight if you are already in a desperate position.

Thus, I feel to solve both problem, we ought to break tradition and make Adrenaline on top of damage, ALSO give non-offensive buffs that are relevant.

One idea I have is to make Adrenaline being themed more around as a "comeback mechanic" instead of a purely win-more mechanic, where you get rewarded by dodging exceptionally well in desperately situation (aka real life Adrenaline surge) and Adrenaline become the tool that allow you to comeback into the fight. (on non-life regen build it is totally reasonable for you to be low hp and flawlessed the boss for 30 seconds at the same time).

Some example of such buffs are:
Increased Damage Reduction during Adrenaline;
Reduced defense damage taken during Adrenaline;
HP recovery/healing based on missing HP; and so on, basically stats that allows the player to stay in the fight and recover

On the other hand, to ensure its purpose as a "flawless and mastery" mechanic to be kept, it provide even more extra damage if you obtain Adrenaline at full/close to full HP like usual since you don't need the recovery.

**Make the start of the schematics and codebreaker questline more intuitive**

It's currently all too easy for the player to miss the sunken sea lab when killing giant clam for the first time, or not knowing what to do with the planetoid schematic after getting it before the sunken sea schematic. One Idea I have to fix this is:
-When Desert Scourge is defeated, give the player some hint that the sunken sea lab exists and that the player should find it. This would help the player get the first piece of the codebreaker questline.

• In the tooltip of the Sunken Sea Schematic, it could mention that the player should probably place down some Power cell factories, which could help with the problem of players not starting to generate any cells until right before Exo mechs, then having to afk for hours to get enough.
• Each schematic would also unlock the recipe for the seeker to find the next lab (so sunken sea schematic would unlock planetoid seeker, planetoid schematic would unlock jungle seeker, etc) so the player can easily see where to go next, and how they can find the way there.
  just by making a few simple changes, it could be a lot easier for players to go through the schematics throughout their playthrough, or at least help avoid forcing the player to afk for hours because they only bothered with the codebreaker stuff at the end.

**Introduce More (Different) Variant Of Healing/Recovery Potions For Needs Of Build Variety**

Generally the player recover their HP through either life regen effect like say Regeneration potion; life steal effect such as Vampire Knife; and then of course healing potions. While life regen and life steal effect are common and varies, healing potion always stays the same with no deviation or variety.

The reason I think different variant should be added is because there are many situations where different kind of Healing Potion will benefit said scenerio much more.

i) On a heavily defensive build, you take way less damage per hit and using healing potion early means overhealing; while using them late means they don't enter cooldown
ii) On an offensive focus build, damage prevention is way more important than recovery, as if you are getting 2 shotted healing potion will not be enough to heal you above the "1 shot" threshold

There are already some unique healing potion, like Bloodfin, Restoration Potion or in 1.4.4 vanilla's case the Strange Brew (which gives random amount of iframe on use); thus I feel Calamity can explore on the idea more:

Example idea of different variant of healing potions:

• Heals more but recover its healing over time instead; fit for defensive build so they don't overheal while can still benefit from it fully, even effect like reduced debuff damage taken during the duration also fits
• Gives large amount of (temporary) HP for short duration that functions as "damage shield" instead of healing; ideal for offensive build since they take more damage than normal builds
• Or even idea like delay partial damage taken for a duration to be taken over time non-lethally later which can be situationally super useful

Overall I feel the concept of Healing Potion can be explored much more and made a lot more interesting than just heal your HP by fix amount.

For their projectiles, they can be balanced by making them only shoot once per half second as those projectiles at starlight level speeds would probably be unbalanced as well as cause performance issues.

**A Reassessment of late game rogue weapons**

From about DoG onwards, possibly before (around polterghast/old duke) it becomes, by every measurable metric, objectively worse to stealth strike as opposed to spamming rogue weapons. The Executioner's blade drop from DoG exemplifies this issue. Even the sealed singularity does better against DoG when spammed.

I love the rogue class, and up until post-Providence I feel its incredibly balanced, but then stealth becomes borderline useless. I have found this to be the case even if I use an additional mod to remove the penalty applied to stealth generation while moving (my attempt to make late-game stealth feel worth it in my latest death mode run).

I love the end game rogue weapons though. My suggestion would be a pass of all post-providence rogue weapons and number tweaks to non-stealth strikes; maybe lower the base damage but massively increase the stealth damage scaling they receive, so their DPS remains comparable while encouraging stealth use.

**Make Astrum Aureus Slowly Damages Itself Throughout The Fight (in all modes) To Counter Its Ridiculous Defenses**

In Revengeance Mode, Aureus currently has nearly 120k HP, 40 defense and 50% damage reduction which makes it one of the most ridiculously tanky boss in the game.

This is for accounting Aurues' large hitbox as without such defense it will melts, but it end up just invalidating many weapon against it. Except for weapon that inflicts extremely strong debuffs, Lunic Eye, or have exceptional single target damage (or Adrenaline), most weapon failed to kill it within a reasonable time.

However, I noticed that Aureus have a self damage mechanic in Death Mode only to account for its tankiness, which I think should be applied to all modes instead and potentially can be expanded upon other attacks too after some adjustment.

I feel a self damage mechanic is ideal for Aureus considering the defense is there to prevent melt (thus lowering it will be senseless), while a self damage mechanic not only account for debuffs (less fight time = less debuff damage dealt over the fight) and still effectively reduce fight time.

Considering how the Golden Shower is a quite remarkable mage weapon, the idea of a more direct successor to it is a quite interesting one. However, as of right now that just isn't executed too correctly since Everglade Spray has barely any difference on use then the Golden Shower.

There is the problem of life fruit recipe, but that can be solved by using a post-plantera crafting station like the Autohammer.

**Make Polterghast and its ally teleport to its dashing position**

In its current state, when Polterghast and its ally line up to dash at the player in diagonal directions, they take their time drifting around with the general end goal of where they need to be. This creates general inconsistency in the timing of their dashes. The best way to dodge these attacks is to be falling or rising as they occur so that you can avoid them most consistently, or dash straight away or into them using one of the shield bashes. However, due to the extreme variance and essentially no visual cues as to when the dash is about to occur due to the instantaneous nature of the attack, it becomes unbelievably frustrating to avoid consistently.

I present an alternative; instead of having Polterghast and its ally drift towards the point it is approaching to dash, have it teleport into position immediately, stall for a bit (long enough for you to react but still probably less than a second), and THEN dash. This would create a more fast-paced fight, as less time is taken waiting for both entities to be in position, and it would offer a much less varied timing that could be quickened as the fight goes on. Please consider this.

Distinguish the Sus Jelly Bean mount from the slime mounts

This is an item that was never really that good to begin with, serving as only a marginal Slimy Saddle upgrade in terms of jump height. It was also Post-ML, the reason for which still eludes me. In 1.4, the Gelatinous Pillion put the final nail in the coffin, and that's after the pillion got its flight speed removed. It got moved to Post-Aureus (previously Aureus got a buff Post-ML and dropped it then), but that just isn't enough, especially since a better version exists and it's only Pre-Mech. In some cases this mount is even a downgrade from the slimy saddle, since it lacks the ability to bounce off of enemies! The only case where the Bean is better is for falling underwater, and the iron boot exists for that. Instead of simply buffing or tier-switching this mount, why not make it work differently? Instead of an instant fall boost, perhaps it could start at your base speed and accelerate to about double the saddle/pillion's, like Terraria Overhaul does with its fall velocity?
Of course whether any changes are made depends on the dev in question's opinion on the matter.

**Make the Adult Eidolon Wyrm not enrage outside of the abyss/sulfurous sea**

Currently in the game summoning and fighting the Adult Wyrm outside of the 4th layer in the abyss causes it to enrage, making a difficult fight a large amount more challenging in either direction, whether you fight him in the 4th layer or not. Fighting him in the 4th layer causes you to effectively lose an accessory slot (while yes the abyssal diving suit provides good buffs outside of negating/benefitting off the abyssal environment, it provides little actual combative or significant defensive capabilities.) The 2nd problem is that it creates a soft time limit with the slowly dropping breath meter, with no real way to restore/stop it besides exiting the layer, enraging the boss. 3rd issue is the potential to drift to the 3rd layer and be too concentrated to realize it. (this is a more minor problem as the environment changes quite drastically) So if you want to avoid this you must go into the sulfurous sea which will enrage him.

The solution is, of course, to make him not enrage outside of any abyss layer or the sulfur sea. If you enter another biome besides those 5 then they should enrage. The boss already has nearly two and a half million health on the most basic and easy difficulty so wanting to make it more convenient shouldn't punish the player.

**Rework sluggish minion AI's with both consistent DPS *and* smooth movement in mind**

The minions I'm referencing specifically in this case are Ancient Ice Chunk (Ice Claspers) and Staff of Necrosteocytes (Small Skeleton), though I also am referencing any potential underwhelming summoner weapons that suffer due to their sluggish AI.

A few minions of late have been rebalanced to be much stronger (such as ones listed above), as before they simply could not catch up to the enemy. The solution to buffing them was to increase their movement speed, by a lot. This is of course a normal thing to do on paper, and yes, it made them stronger and (usually) able to catch up to enemies. However, the downside of this is that the minions move in an unnatural manner, not flowing smoothly at all and often jutting all about the place, which is not really a desirable characteristic for a weapon that is constantly attacking an enemy/enemies.

My proposition can be simply put: rework the two above weapons, and possible others that present the same problem. This isn't too off the table in my opinion, as these weapons actually use a vanilla AI type anyway (Claspers move alike to the Deadly Sphere Staff, sharing the AI type with others such as Seabound and Deepsea Staff, and Necrosteocyte minions use the regular melee ground minion type, alike to the Pirate Staff). Sharing AI types with other weapons is honestly not that bad, but in this case, in the way I have stated, it is, visually at least.

Here is the Ice Chunk in action, in it's current state: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465195069406707722/1047809216729067581/AIC_Speed.mp4

**Move the functionality of the Alchemical Flask onto the Toxic Heart**

PBG has always had an issue of having way too many drops related to her, to the point where they begin to lose their identities. One of the biggest offenders is Toxic Heart, her former Expert mode drop. It is a functional upgrade to the Giant Pearl, creating an aura that inflicts a debuff.

The only problem is that Giant Pearl inflicts Pearl Aura, one of the strongest stalling debuffs in the game, while Toxic Heart inflicts Plague, a damage over time debuff. Which is also what Alchemical Flasks causes your weapons to do. Not to mention every single weapon she drops already inflicts it. Alch Flash also has the same Plague immunity as Heart.

If you want a tool to deal with enemies while building, Giant Pearl, Marnite Repulsion Shield, Bone Helm, Volatile Gelatin, and Spore Sac all exist already or you could just... shoot the enemies or use summoner weapons. Toxic Heart has next to no purpose.

Merging Flask and Heart would at least give Heart a use, while getting rid of the confusing Alchemical Flask line, which can be obtained before PBG and merged with Honey Comb... while being worse than most other Honey Comb upgrades due to removing the Honey buff. It'd at least make a bit more sense if the item that gave you the ability to inflict Plague on hit actually dropped from the Plague boss, instead of just being obtainable by killing some random enemies beforehand.

**Remove Ceaseless Void's contact damage**

At the start of the fight, the dark energies have a grace period, but the boss itself does not, and sometimes it spawns below the player and flies upward incredibly quickly, dealing heavy damage that is almost unavoidable. The boss also never actually attempts to use its body to ram the player, so the contact damage it does serves little purpose in the dark energy phases. In the black hole phase, all of the projectiles converge on the boss, so there is no reason for contact damage due to it being a near guaranteed hit anyway.

**Make Certain Part of Thanatos Always Vulnerable (even if it takes less damage), eg: the Head**

Thanatos currently have damage consistency issue. While the concept is very cool, the execution is a bit clunky since effectively any weapon that do not have piercing or AOE is effectively just unviable against Thanatos and takes unreasonable amount of time to kill it.

Unironically, the damage expose/vulnerable mechanic is fine during Berserk as Thanatos is very aggressive and fire often; but it is completely not fine for non-Berserk solo phase, where Thanatos is very passive and often refuse to attack the player while being invulnerable at the sametime. It is effective an unavoidable extension of the fight time while (really) nothing is happening.

Making some part of Thanatos always can be damaged, for example the head, can very effectively avoid this issue and give single target weapon a chance to even hope to be viable against Thanatos.

Alternatively, make Thanatos be more aggressive/fire more often during non-Berserk solo phase can also help with this issue as it open its segments more often.

**Replace Sand Shark Tooth Necklace and Reaper Tooth Necklace's Armor Penetration With "Attack Inflict Armor Crunch"**

For reference armor penetration is having your attack ignoring set amount of defense while armor crunch reduces enemy damage reduction.

The reason of the suggestion is because armor penetration have extremely varied performance on different weapon: it is either completely useless on most weapon or absolutely broken on some very specific weapon (which is the main reason why even RTN only has 15 armor penetration).

This means that the devs are very afraid of buffing the item as it have a chance to boost some random weapon to god tier. Hence, in its current (unable to be buffed) stat, it is massively outscaled by other offensive accessory such as Amalgamated Brain, Amalgam and very often Destroyer Emblem; or lack in versatility compare to accessory like Affliction or The Community.

On the other hand, the effect of reducing damage reduction is static for most weapon, it is a consistent and good damage boost and works equally for all weapons; but most importantly because its performance is predictable it can be buffed.

**Make "Predictive Teleports" Teleport To A Higher Height Relative To Player's Position**

While predictive teleports are not a common mechanic, it do apply to bosses like King Slime, Slime God, Queen Slime (and to a lesser extent even Astrum Aureus).

Basically this mechanic make bosses teleport ahead of you (predictive) to basically force you to change direction or reposition.

Notably for the 3 slime bosses, this can cause them to teleport on top of you and telefrag if you are not moving horizontally, which can be a very frustrating mechanic to deal with especially that they are not always on screen to telegraph the teleport. (Aureus luckily don't immediately have contact damage but sometimes can fire during it which basically causes the same problem)

Thus, I think all of these teleports relative to player's position should come from a higher position to prevent them from teleporting exactly on the player, which is a much more intuitive way to do it than "just keep moving horizontally" which is not always reasonable with arena limitation. For the 3 slime bosses maybe can also make them slam downwards after the teleport to account for the greater height which can make the fight more active and interactive.

**Make Yharon Telegraph Its Teleport OR Make It Move Really Fast To Position Instead Of Teleporting**

Yharon currently have 2 main teleport: 1st is the teleport to a position above the player right at the start of bullet hells, and 2nd is when Yharon teleport then charges at Subphase 6 and 7 (most notably final subphase where Yharon repeat "teleport charge -> charge -> bullet hell" pattern).

However, this comes with the problem that while 1st teleport is predictable, it is incredibly frustrating and non-intuitive for new players to know the exact pattern of Yharon as they basically have to know when the bullet hell starts in order to dodge it. However, this problem becomes worse for the 2nd teleport, where unless you read the wiki players will have no idea where Yharon will be teleporting to, and this often leads to running directly into the direction where Yharon is teleporting to which causes unreactable telefrag.

Having Yharon telegraph its teleport (eg: have a 'phantom fire' or something appearing at the location prior to the actual teleportation, devs can come up with a better idea) will give a very clear indicator of when and where each teleport will be happening. Otherwise, making it a "movement" instead of "immediate teleportation" (no contact damage during the movement of course) will help the player better register that teleport is happening.

The suggestion do not really impact the difficulty of the fight, as experienced player know exactly when and where Yharon will teleport anyway, but it does make it much fairer for new players who just started playing the mod by eliminating a significant element of cheapshotting.

Make the Ironskin Potion's effects scale with progression

In the earlygame, Ironskin is a very noticeable boost. In late PHM it's a bit harder to see it working, but it definitely still helps. in early Hardmode it exists I guess, but doesn't do much, and beyond this point it does very little, especially Post-ML. it falls off when (most) other potions don't because it's a static boost and not a percentage. I suggest that it be given a buff to the defense provided in HM, Post-ML, and maybe Post-Providence. It's not like the amount of defense given scaling is revolutionary either, the Warding prefix already does this.

Give Lunatic Cultist's sprite a forcefield similar to Scal's

Lunatic Cultist is a wonky boss. Low health but small hitbox. This means many weapons are just not viable at all, but some, specifically those that home, take out the Cultist stupidly fast since the hitbox doesn't matter. Considering the Cultist guards a major progression milestone, such a division in the utility of various weapons is just not good boss design. The forcefield would make the hitbox more conventionally sized, making a much wider variety of weapons viable. If this were to be implemented, the Cultist could also be given regular health pools to stop him from melting. Doing this via a forcefield also has the added bonus of making the amount of health he does have make sense, given he's just a normal human physique-wise.

Greatly increase the amount of Cosmilite Bars DoG drops

The Devourer of Gods is known for being one of (if not the) hardest bosses in Calamity. On death, he drops between 30 and 40 Cosmilite Bars, which sounds fair at first, but isn't. The God Slayer armor set, which requires more than that, is near essential for Melee, Ranged, and Rogue due to Auric Tesla, forcing you to fight possibly the hardest boss at least twice just to reap the benefits, and then add the Cosmic Anvil, Rampart of Deities, and Asgardian Aegis, and that's way too much cosmilite for what the boss currently drops. Additionally, doubling or even tripling this amount would only make sense due to this guy's length. DoG is a looooooong boi, covered entirely in cosmilite plate, the fact you only get 30 or 40 bars from that thing is just the game scamming you.

Sometimes DoG will transition when the player is inside his hitbox or when the player is right next to the boss.

**Fix the Uncategorized Debuffs and Add More Amplification Debuffs**

Shellfish Claps, Shred, and Burning Blood all lack a debuff categorization for some reason, despite dealing damage over time. I suggest Shellfish be added to Water, and Shred and Burning Blood be added to Sickness.

Furthermore, Celled, Dryad's Bane, and Penetrated could be made to be Sickness as well so as to give every DoT debuff a category, if Calamity wishes to categorize the rest of the vanilla ones.

Lastly, useless debuffs like Bleed or Stinky could be given the ability to amplify Sickness debuffs, and Wet should also amplify Water debuffs, not just Electricity. Frankly, considering the sheer lack of them, I feel like Electricity and Water debuffs should be able to amplify each other, considering there is only Electrified and Crush Depth. (Galvanic is from a single potion, and both it and Eutrophication do not actually deal any damage, so the fact they were categorized at all is a bit strange.)

I have learned that the item will be removed from Sponge/Absorber Recipes in the next update so i would suggest to add it to other items or create new items around it. It has a unique effect with a unique visual that is very useful in the early game. Sadly Rover Drive cannot compete with the Multi-Effect Acesouries in Hard Mode and Post Moon Lord. To make the effect available in those stages of the game i would suggest to add some kind of Acesouries that can compete with later tiers of items to make this unique effect prevail in those stages of the game.

Having a effect that gives independent Health with independent regeneration to normal health is pretty unique and a solid defensive option.

**Increase Plantera Despawn Range**

Plantera (especially Phase 2) have by far the shortest despawn range to the point of obnoxious.

To put it simply, if Plantera is not on screen for about 5 seconds, it will despawn, and I mean it literally. You can still see the hook of the Plantera on screen and it will despawn as long as the main body is not on screen.

This becomes even worse as Phase 2 burst tentacle spawn basically enlarge Plantera hitbox which forces you to use a somewhat large arena (especially higher difficulties), otherwise it just become a dps check before you inevitably get hit, and as stated even only a somewhat large size arena can easily despawn her.

Plantera already have a catch up mechanic where she gain immense speed if the player is far away and enrage if there are less tile around her, thus I dont see a reason her despawn range should be this short.

A second Astral Meteor is nice however astral bars don’t have many uses so there isn’t really a need for more than one meteor. Overall Astrum Aureus feels very inconsequential and is quite a challenging boss fight for the mediocre rewards it supplies. Giving it a larger impact on the world or improving its loot to make it a more desirable fight would greatly benefit the boss.

**Make Void of Extinction An Actual Upgrade To Void of Calamity**

As of currently this accessory is just severely underpowered. Requiring Scoria Bar which is post-Golem, the benefits this item provides simply make no sense.

Firstly, it just give less damage (12% to 10%) which is a downgrade and also give a bunch of Underworld/burning related effect like reduce lava damage, burning and on-fire immunity and so on.

HOWEVER:

1. All of these effect are completely useless for the simple reason that almost no enemy let alone bosses at that point of the game inflict these debuffs or require lava immunity
2. On top of that, Angel Treads another extremely powerful accessory that is available earlier already provide the same benefit on a better base item.
3. Melee inflict hellfire is changed to Brimstone Flame on all class next patch

The entire purpose of this item is literally that it is a damage accessory with +8 defense, and 8 defense is not even good when compare to Amalgamated Brain's dodge effect or The Community's massive utility.

This accessory just severely need buffs, such as making it 12% damage and increase defense gain, maybe give it immunity to much more common debuffs (at that stage of the game) and so on. Currently this item is basically a sidegrade that is available later.

**Add Some Sort of Comeback Mechanic to The Bee Accessory**

The Bee is a rare accessory that drops from Queen Bee at a 10% chance. It gives you bonus damage based on your damage reduction while at full HP, and reduces the damage taken from hits at full HP.

The main issue is that it... only does things at full HP. So as soon as you take a hit, it becomes dead weight. This goes against Cal's philosophy of trying to move away from over compensating nohitting, so I think in order to make The Bee more useful, it should get a secondary effect that does not require you to be at full health. That's it.

This would let it be useful without requiring a very specific playstyle to function. Some kind of effect to either help you dodge or restore your health, a comeback mechanic of some sort, would synergize very well with its intended use of trying to incentivize the player to stay at full health.

An idea I had to try and prevent bloating the item would be to let your friendly bee projectiles have a chance to drop Hearts. This would move the effect to other items, and help emphasize its theming around Queen Bee. Otherwise, a simple Honey buff on hit or an effect like Panic Necklace would probably be enough. Regardless, right now it is mostly just a "win more" accessory, so I think a secondary effect would be very helpful.

The image attached are 3 of the accessory that does this effect, there are probably more that I miss. Do note that not to be confused with "iframe effect" that rains at your position like Star Cloak or Yharim's Gift (which is mediocre but at least ok); the accessories in this suggestion rains randomly.

To put it simply, every single one of these effect are underpowered and nearly worthless, for context:

1. Amidias Pendant: Every 2 seconds fire 1 large shard (30 damage) and 2 small shard (15 damage), so best case scenario = 30 DPS assuming everything hit but the raining range is literally your entire screen so chances are it miss 90% of the time

2. Rotten Brain: 18 damage for 2-3 projectiles and inaccurately, and only if you take a hit

3. Gehenna: every 7+ seconds (randomly) 54 damage for 5-6 times, except that not only does the cooldown sucks but it rain at a random position on your screen for 1 second. It is ~50 DPS if it hits everytime but it will miss 90% of the time

To make things worse, all of the above effect do NOT scale with your damage bonus. Their numbers are fixed as above.

To put it simply all of these effects are simply completely useless, and they probably will never gonna be buffed to the point of being useful as otherwise it will just be a better version of Bone Glove/Volatile Gelatin/Spore Sac and so on. Thus I think it is better to rework these accessories (or remove them as their effect is simply irrelevant).

  3) Mage: 10% chance to just dodge 1/2 damage of any hit taken
• This is not only better than Melee's bonus but also is straight up pre-reworked dodge effect (which was overpowered)
  4) Summoner: summon a Crystal above your head that shoot projectile and deal damage
• Literally Chlorophyte Armor set bonus which will be available 1 boss later
  5) Rogue: your attack have more projectile
• Rogue armor that make your attack or stealth strike have more random projectile no.N

This makes Daedalus Armor's bonus feels very outdated and the armor feeling redundant. Ideally their bonus should be improved or reworked to be up to the modern standard as many of these feels like filler armor set bonus just to add another set of armor.

**Astrum Deus should drop Super Healing Potions**

Astrum Deus is intended to be a Post-Cultist boss, where you have access to the Lunar Fragments. Deus also drops the Lunar Fragments, regardless of whether Cultist has died or not. This means the player can craft Super Healing Potions before Lunatic Cultist, as it doesn't require the Ancient Manipulator. Deus, however, still drops Greater Healing Potions, despite the player having full access to craft Super Healing Potions, which is why Deus should instead drop Super Healing Potions.

**Make Post-Moon Lord Melee Armors Have Melee Speed**

To put it simply all of vanilla (Hardmode) armors and all of the Calamity Pre-Moon Lord armors have melee speed (such as Daedalus and Hydrothermic Armor). However, starting from Tarragon Armor and onwards melee armor just stop giving Melee Speed to the player.

This causes a problem from 2 front:
i) Weapon that scales Melee Speed immediately become much less effective as soon as they switched off Solar Armor; and
ii) This means that Solar Armor become the go-to armor for DPS all the way to Auric Tesla Armor

By adding Melee Speed to post-Moon Lord armor not only is this problem fixed (as they are properly scaling now), but also have other benefits:

• Melee weapon will overall become more balanced as they are balanced with player having more melee speed in mind
• Weapons that scale melee speed can obtain their intended power without a "downside" for switching armors
• Fix a weird inconsistency that seemingly all post-Moon Lord armor just randomly stops having an important melee stat

**Make ironskin potion scale through the game**

Almost every potion in the game has scaling (for example Wrath potion 10% extra damage is always good) or serve a purpose that can always be exploited (for example Gravity or Featherfall potions).

Ironskin potion has a scaling problem, it only grants 8 armor which is too little later on. To make the potion relevant throught the game, it should give more armor after defeating certain bosses. This would be similar to the warding change in calamity where it scales throught the game to make it viable.

The aura formed by Oracle uses a lot of particles, and because of this, when used with the yoyo bag it can cause other particles to become invisible.

A solution could be to use a visual similar to Ares Gauss Nuke AoE indicator,

**Add Accessory Reforge Modifier For "Utility" Function Like Fishing Power and Mining Speed**

Currently all of the Accessory Reforge Modifier are exclusively combat-focus (eg: damage, crit chance...). However this means that the "exploration/utility" aspect of the game are completely ignored in one of the most customizable aspect of the game (*note: melee speed/violent reforge do not increase mining speed, only 'pick speed' can increase it).

Mining speed is incredibly helpful for early exploration but its sources are rare, requiring the player to obtain items often after they already done a large part of exploration and no longer needs help (eg: Underground Desert chest for Ancient Chisel); this is the same with Fishing Power where you can only obtain fishing power from specific accessories and by stacking the various Angler Earring combinations.

Thus, I think it will make perfect sense to add new reforges for utility stats like these (or even just have 1 'Utility' reforge that increase both stats). Not only can these very noticeably helps with things like early game exploration or even fishing (which is often frowned upon due to it being a hassle) by offering option to spec into them, but also make fit as the player can switch their loadout to combat and fishing/exploration gear but never the reforges.

**Make Drills Benefit From Pickspeed/Mining Speed OR Make Them Have Different Benefit To Pickaxe**

The title made it very clear: to put it simply the Pickspeed/Mining Speed stat only benefit pickaxe but not drills. This means drills are completely outclassed in both the speed it can mine block while also having shorter range.

However, I recognized that this is intended: Drills basically have better base speed (with no buffs/mining speed) while pickaxe is slower but can benefit from external buffs, but the problem is that in Calamity acquiring large amount of mining speed at that stage of the game is incredibly easy (in Hardmode, when drills are available) which makes drills just overall much worse.

Therefore alternative to making them benefit from mining speed, can also make Drills have a different benefit for example like mining multiple blocks at once (in a way similar to Gravedigger's shovel) can also be fine.

**Give Unique Effects to the Elemental Quiver, Elemental Gauntlet, and Ethereal Talisman**

Unlike Nucleogenesis and Nanotech, these accessories are exclusively their components effects or simple stat sticks. While this is understandable, as they are the upgrades of emblems, considering their role as a class's penultimate accessory, more unique upgrades would be better than more numbers.

For example, considering Vanilla already adds advanced Mana Flower crafts (which Talisman ignores), perhaps it could use Celestial Cuffs again instead, but rather than inhereting their mediocre effect, it could give some sort of mana drain like Wulfrum Prostheic does instead to benefit a Flower-less playstyle, while letting said flowers shine on their own. Another idea; with the sheer number of debuffs it inficts, perhaps Gaunlet could get an effect that synergizes with that, or Quiver with its ammo types, and to further involve Calamity's debuff system.

The point being is that with their pivitol role in the game, giving these accessories more memorable effects could be worthwhile.

**Add a 'Spelunking Mega-Accessory', in the same sense that the Supreme Bait Tackle Box Fishing Station is a 'Fishing Mega-Accessory'.**

❓ - Spelunking, or exploring/mining in caves, is a core feature in Terraria with an extreme amount of importance. It is how you get ores, it is how you find many important treasures, and it's how you progress. However, it is a bit on the tedious side and progress can be slowed or interrupted by a few things - it takes a while (even if it can be sped up with potions), and decent light pets are a bit scarce before HM (requiring you to return home and restock on torches/shine potions before going all the way back). While it can also be slowed down by combat, that at least provides a bit of risk to the activity and reduces some of the tedium.

In short, mining's kinda boring. And yet, there is a comparable activity - fishing. Fishing is slower than mining, and is an equally necessary activity on certain difficulties. Except fishing has the supreme tackle box, an accessory that combines the effects of an armor set (the angler set), potions (sonar, crate, fishing), and another combination accessory. It dramatically speeds up an otherwise tedious activity, letting you get back to the action faster.

The same could be done with mining, as all of these things already exist for it too. An armor set (miner set), potions (shine, mining, maybe night owl too), and another accessory or two (the archaic powder, spelunker amulet). Throw in some early HM materials, and the recipe's basically done. It shouldn't make mining/spelunking trivially easy, of course - you'd still have to invest a good bit of time into it, and you'd still have to deal with fighting off monsters - but it should speed up an otherwise tedious process without trivializing a core part of gameplay.

Add a extra minion slot to omega blue armor or whatever it's called

It would not break the class because giving an extra slot still does not let you have enough slots to make busted combos. Nor does any of the armor effect grossly unvalance summoner even remotely

Just makes it a lick more useful near the end of the game

Also I think the next armor combo in the line of progression boosts the shit out of minuon slots so in no way shape or form is that extra slot gonna throw balance out the window

And for anyone who says it gonna mess up non summoner classes, it won't. Having +3 on the armor still isn't enough for most classes to use some of the more OP summoner items

**Rework the Heart of the Elements and its Components**

With the loss of the stones effects that originally made HotE on the same level as the Community in terms of stat sticks, and the HARD nerf of the Rare Sand Elemental from a homing healer to one that casually tosses her projectiles around, Heart has been left in a pretty sorry state.

With most of its power stripped, it's been revealed that it is actually a really mediocre accessory, as its minions can barely hit their targets, and when they do, hit for mediocre damage. Having to compete with things like Terraprisma and the Stardust summons doesn't help. For what should be effectively 5 free minions, the Heart drastically underperforms in nearly every capacity, to say nothing of its individual components.

Reworking the minion's AI to be better would be a necessary improvement since it's a strong effect at its core, but much like old Vanilla summons, suffers from mediocre implementation. Making them more like their enemy counterparts would be a big help; Brimmy could get the Brimbeam, Cloudy could get her thunderbolts or hurricanes, etc.

The opportunity cost of using HotE instead of simply buffing your existing minions damage is also an issue since it's stronger, so having some supplementary effects could help make up for this. Brimmy should already be one of the strongest offensive minions, so she's covered, but the Eye of the Storm could give some movement buffs, Pearl of Enthrallment could give the player an icy shield or perhaps Anahita could fire bubbles that inflict Eutroph, Sandy could gain slowing effects on her attacks like the ones players gets inflicted with in a Sandstorm, and Rare could get a weak Heartreach effect to buff her projectiles or some max HP to synergize with her. The actual effects aren't important, but AI changes alone won't fix the core issue Heart faces now, so returning some of its original power could help here. It doesn't need to be all class again, but it needs something.

**Make The Amalgam's Double Buff Potion Duration/Persist On Death Effect Be Available Earlier**

This can come from many ways, most notably such as a new ingredient of the Amalgam that provide said effect that is acquired earlier in the game.

The main reason of the suggestion is because this effect is exclusively on The Amalagam which is a post-Devourer of Gods accessory. What is meant to serve as a very decent Quality of Life effect just turns out to be useless because at that point of the progression you already have no problem with acquiring potions with tools like Devourer of Cods and various NPC selling potions (while money not being a problem anymore).

To put it simply this effect comes too late to be useful. Thus, instead I think if this effect is available earlier it can help people by making external mods such as AlchemistNPC Lite or permanent buff mods to be less required by providing a natural in-game way to help reducing potion grinding.

**Fix Item's Wording Inconsistency/Misleading Tooltips**

The title might sound confusing but to put it simply items can sometimes (often) have the exact same effect but written (in tooltips) completely differently. For example "Increased damage reduction" and "Reduced damage taken", or cases like "Increased damage", "Increased to all damage" and "Boost to all damage" and things like that.

One example is Dimensional Soul Artifact which have the following tooltip:

[Power]
[Boosts all damage by 25%, but at what cost?]
[Increases all damage taken by 15%]

The wording is confusing and also incredibly misleading, as due to the downside it might be confused as a 1.25x damage boost but it actually is just a 25% damage avenger emblem.

To put it simply, difference in wording like this can be confusing or sometimes even misleading given the context. Otherwise, they can also be unclear in elaborating the actual effect of the items.

**Buff Titanium Armor's Stat/Improve Its Set Bonus**

Currently Titanium armors is just understated and underpowered.

To put it simply Titanium armor's previously very powerful "Holy Dodge" effect was moved, but the armor's stat was never buffed to be more on-par with its Adamantite counterpart. On top of this, Titanium set bonus is strictly worse due to it being almost true melee exclusive making it very unviable/irrelevant outside of face tank strategy.

Thus, I think Titanium Armor should definitely be buffed in stats (just like Adamantite did). Otherwise, the set bonus can also be improve or reworked, such as making the titanium shard home in to the enemies for a duration with an active or effect like that; anything will work as long as it is not a true melee only bonus.

**Add/Rework more Helmets that are without an armor set**

Currently, there's a handful of leggings (Moon Lord's Legs, Djinn's Curse) and chestplates (Cirrus Dress) that provide unique effects while not being part of an armor set, but with the removal of Occult Skull Crown's function as a helmet, there's not really any helmets that have any unique effects with a benefit on gameplay (Sunglasses has the visual sun thing, Fish Bowl makes you drown, and a handful of random items have 1 defense, but those aren't really comparable to Cirrus Dress or Moon Lord Legs' effects)

It would be nice to have at least one helmet that provides a beneficial effect but isn't part of an armor set to go along with the other items. A simple solution could be The Occult Skull Crown being brought back as a helmet, or new reworks could be done to other already existing items. One idea I've had is making Fish Bowl count you as underwater at all times, allowing strong synergy with items like Deep Diver, Aquatic Heart, and Leviathan Ambergris in exchange for having an otherwise useless helmet.

**Make Decapodita Sprout (Crabulon's Summon Item) Spawns Naturally In Glowing Mushroom Biome (similar to Gelatin Crystal for Queen Slime)**

Crabulon is an early pre-Hardmode boss that you are supposed to fight early which is when its drops are most useful. However, most people tend to skip the boss whether intentionally or not due to there being no hint of the boss existing, and when the player know about the boss they tend to already progress way too far and destroy the boss easily to obtain rage upgrade.

Thus, with the consideration that Crabulon is actually supposed to be a boss you fight early (with combination of low HP, low damage, simple moveset that do not require complex arena/movement accessories to dodge), I think it will be better if the player get a hint/incentive to fight the boss early.

One of the easiest way to achieve this is to simply hint the player of the boss' existence through making its summon items to be able to generate naturally like Queen Slime. Not only does this allow the player to notice the existence of the boss easily but also giving an incentive to fight it early as the summon item is supplied directly.

**Reorganize post-Evil Boss Progression**

Currently, after beating the Eater or Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, the next step in progression is for the player to fight the Perforators or Hive Mind, and typically, a well prepared player can easily beat these bosses immediately after each other with little to no preparation due to them being very similar in strategy, and being fought in the exact same location as their predecessors. It makes the Evil 2 bosses feel very 'same-y' as they're fought at the same time, in the same place, with almost identical gear.

At the moment, both the pre-Evils tier (King Slime, Desert Scourge, Eye of Cthulhu, Crabulon) and the post-Evils tier (Deerclops, Queen Bee, Skeletron, Slime God) have 3 or 4 bosses each, and I feel like it would be very easy to simply move the two bosses with the least amount of identity in their current tiers to this area.

Crabulon and Deerclops are overshadowed in returns by their counterparts in terms of drops, and feel like the biggest contributors to content bloat at their current stages. There's just not much incentive to fight them currently. I think simply moving them to the single most empty part of the game would not only help them feel more involved, but also make the Evil 2 bosses feel like more of a step in progression instead of just Evil Boss 2: Electric Boogaloo. This would also give each tier an equal number of bosses to fight, which would also help with content distribution.

Bosses should drop at least one of their class-specific weapons relative to the class of the weapon the player is holding at the time of its defeat.

It isn't an uncommon occurrence for bosses to fail to drop a wanted item, and in my personal experience this can sour the satisfaction of killing a boss, and fighting it again feels more like a chore than a satisfying fight as it did on the first defeat. This typically isn't a major issue as the drop chances of boss weapons are not very low, but sometimes RNGesus strikes and it can take over a dozen kills to get a weapon for your class.

**Add More Crafts from Ashes of Annihilation**

Ashes of Annihilation are the big crafting material that drops from Supreme Calamitas, however, unlike their Hardmode counterpart, Ashes of Calamity, Ashes of Annihilation are... relatively useless?

They craft bricks, dyes, a reusable summon item, and the Brimstone Locus. That's it. Yes, they are currently used for Shadowspec bars, but when later bosses will be added Shadowspec will be moved because it is a developer tier item. So considering Shadowspec a craft from Ashes of Annihilation would be like considering Miracle Matter a drop from Ravager because it has Cores and Life Alloy in it.

The main reason that I'm even bringing this up is that, while arguably the direct drops from Exos and Calamitas do suggest certain classes fight one or the other first, this ignores the fact that Exo Mechs drop Prisms, which unlock Miracle Matter and give the player access to the Exo Weapons, which are incredibly powerful and cover all classes. Calamitas has Exhumes, sure, but these still only help Mage and Summoner, the two classes that already benefit the most from fighting Calamitas in the first place. A simple fix for the class discrepancy, and the relative underwhelmingness of Ashes of Annihilation is to give Annhilation some weapon crafts.

A perfect candidate for such a position would be to add upgrades to the weapons dropped by Calamitas's Brothers. Crushsaw Crasher and Havoc's Breath are not only thematically relevant, but cover the weaker class returns for the boss, being Rogue and Ranger. They don't need to be actual upgrades as the two items already have upgrade lines, but spiritual upgrades would suffice, and they could even just be based off the upgraded brothers existing weapons, like Catastrophe's sword.

Regardless, even if this idea is passed over, the more important aspect is giving the less SCal supported classes more of a reason to fight her, and make her drop more meaningful, the rest is merely conjecture.

**Make more Materials required for Victide items to be crafted.**

Since Victide items are based upon aquatic life and some parts of the lore, there should be more things that are in the recipe other than Sea remaints.

Take the fishbone boomerang as example, it literally says "As last resort, they had to fashion weapons from the skeletons of dead animals." It would be such a cool idea to add a fish type that you catch in the Sunken Sea biome for it.

The Reed Blowgun can get some navystone or other sunken sea to it due to the navystone blue like color at the back of it.

Here is probably one of the most obvious things about this suggestion, the Urchin Mace. There's literally an enemy named Sea Urchin that drops Urchin Stingers. And the sprite of the Urchin mace really shows off that it has Urchins on top of it.

More about the Suggestion
Concluding this, it would be such a cool idea to make the Materials more varied as it adds more exploration to the game and not just more re-killing bosses. I see this as an opportunity to explore the Sunken Sea to its fullest potentional as right now, it's just going there to kill the giant clam, grab some sea prisms and enter the Sunken Sea Lab.

Currently, Calamity makes Striking Moment only work on Brand of the Inferno- disregarding the oversight of it not working on Sergeant United Shield at all despite it applying the buff, this is overall a huge nerf to already niche weapons, and removes a potential playstyle that shook up melee considerably. While the full 400% increased damage may be too much, it would be nice to even get 100% or 200% damage on weapons besides Brand of the Inferno (and Sergeant when it's fixed), which would get the full 400%.

This would be a nice way to give players a different and unique way to play melee and reward them for doing so if they so choose.

Allow pressing S while your grappling hook is out to cancel the grapple

Currently, the only way to retract your hook is by jumping, but that only works when it's already attached to something. when you are, say, navigating over lava with a hook and double jump, and then you slightly miss your grapple, you have to wait for it to slowly return to you, by which point it'll usually be too late. It doesn't even have to be with lava, fall damage works the same way. You can't hook clutch if your hook is already out, and having to way to reel it in on command makes no sense.

**Buff Cryo Stone and Remove Tesla Potion**

To put it simply Tesla Potion put a "circle shock aura" around the player that "stuns" enemy that enters, which is exceptional at dealing with boss minions (like Leviathan and Duke Fishron) while is still amazing at contact damage bosses by stopping their attack despite having 30 seconds cooldown on the stun.

On the other hand, Cryo Stone provides an identical effect with a freezing shield that freezes enemy that comes close. However, it is completely overshadowed by the fact that Tesla Potion is "free" while Cryo Stone takes an accessory slot.

For such a powerful effect to exist on a potion not only is a balance but also a design issue as in the future any similar effect will have to compete and likely lose to Tesla potion. As of current, Tesla potion already make Cryo Stone (and partially Aquatic Heart) to effectively be unviable.

Thus I think it will be the best for the game to remove Tesla Potion while buffing Cryo Stone (which still provide the same effect) such as giving it more defense/damage dealt, or even stats like Max HP/damage reduction and so on so that it become a viable defensive option to the player.

**Make Molten and Stalker Quiver have Equivalent Stats**

Molten Quiver and Stalker Quiver are both upgrades to the base item Magic Quiver, however Molten Quiver is just less powerful for seemingly no reason.

Molten Quiver's main effect is to convert wooden arrow into basically flaming arrow, effectively giving it +2 damage base damage (from wooden arrow's base of 5) and make it inflict On-Fire. This is simply a very ignorable effect as you have access to all Hardmode Arrows at this time which makes it only a "quality of life" if you use Endless Quiver and even then it is subpar.

On the other hand Stalker Quiver just hvae the full benefit of 10%. One important thing to note that Quiver's damage bonus is multiplicative so the 3% is a gigantic nerf for basically no reason.

Tldr: there is no reason for both to not be equal at least in terms of stat, 1 offers a small quality of life while the other offers some multiplayer utility.

**Make Whips Give The Player Temporary Defense Buff (for short duration) On Whip Hits**

The suggestion might sounds weird but let me explain it:

Before the implementation of whips, Summoner had traditionally been a low defense class because you don't have to aim due of minions; can stay relatively far away from danger compare to more melee-y classes; and basically can put all your focus on dodging

However this is no longer the case with whips: you go up close and personal and probably more close range than even melee class (on non-true melee weapon) which is especially difficult against late game bosses, and the compensation is you get damage from it. However this basically contrast with the design of summoner as a class and the main reason why they have low defense.

Thus, this suggestion focus on compensating the low defense for the forced close-range combat of whips and suggest that whips should give a short duration defense boost to basically put summoner's defense more up to other class level considering the range disadvantage.

The "defense boost" don't have to put it instantly to the tankiest (melee class) level, but there is always a gap between melee/ranger/rogue and mage/summoner; thus as long as it is close to rogue level it will give it much more of a reason to put yourself in danger.

**Give the Summon damage penalty/nerf an in game indication**

Currently there is absolutely no indication in-game that summon damage is reduced by 50% while not holding a summon weapon. If a player doesn't know this and holds a different class weapon, even if they don't use it their damage will be cut in half. This can lead to confusion as to why summoner has vastly lower DPS than other classes at the same stage and ultimately turn players away from the class as a whole. Overall, such a large nerf to damage should be explained in game. I propose that all summons have something added to their tooltip, such as "Summon damage reduced by 50% while not holding a weapon that deals summon damage" to alleviate any potential confusion that this change may cause. Other solutions could be a UI element that appears when the penalty conditions are met (such as the stealth bar now explaining stealth), or a debuff that explains the nerf in the hover-over tooltip.

The Bloom stone can make it so you can spawn most these but that's a band-aid fix to this unnecessary problem and you get that after when you'd be able to make the first hp up.
The mana upgrades don't have this issue so i dont see why you can't just remove these and have it be easier for no downside.

**Allow Astrum Deus to drop meld blobs**

Currently, all the pillar fragments are dropped from Deus, which lets every class farm for their class fragment if they didnt get enough from the pillars. However, Deus, for some reason, doesnt drop meld blobs, which are the equivalent to a pillar fragment for rogues. granted, killing it allows meld blobs to be fished, but why treat rogue differently than the other classes? Every other class has a fast and easy way of getting more fragments without doing the pillars (and subsequently Moon Lord). But rogue would have to do the pillars again, which are overall not very fun, just so they could get their post moon lord armor set. This is amplified even further by rogues needing 3x the amount of meld blobs as they do meld constructs for their armor. Basically, just let rogue have a faster way of obtaining meld blobs than the class currently has.

Add an accessory that directly multiplies drop rates

Some of Terraria's items are locked behind low drop chances, which many people are naturally annoyed by. The obvious solution seems to be to just up the rates. However, when Cal added its own rare drops, they are instead common enough that they drop when players don't want them, cluttering up the inventory. When one has this accessory equipped, common drops would drop X times as much, and rare drops are X times as likely. If you don't want a specific rare item, just don't equip the accessory. This would be great thing to add for Terraria in general, and would also allow the Calamity item drop chances to be scaled back so we are not annoyed by their presence 80% of the time.

Yes, luck exists. However, the amount it helps with is questionable at best. It's not a good enough solution on it's own. This item wouldn't replace luck, simply cooperate with it to achieve the same goal.

Water debuffs are already vastly underutilized, and Crush Depth wouldn't feel appropriate on these weapons, so I propose some new kind of Water debuff be created and used instead.

Perhaps something like 'Shark Bite' or 'Fish Bite'; this would not only make sense with them being upgrades to the Megashark, but could allow it to be put onto other weapons, like say the Piranha or Barracuda Guns, the S.D.M.G. line, etc.

**Add New Star Ammo Types**

Star Cannons are notorious for being strong but resource intensive weapons in vanilla Terraria. However, in Calamity, they're balanced just like any other weapon due to the ease of obtaining Fallen Stars via the Astral Infection. Regardless, the stigma remains, so many Star Cannon upgrades are typically overlooked by the player base at large.

Furthermore, while ammo suggestions for alternative weapons, like Flamethrowers, are typically frowned upon; this is due to the abundance of these weapons Calamity adds, and the difficulty of implementing alternate projectiles for these weapons. However, there are only 5 star cannons in the entire game.

While most of these weapons already have unique functionalities, I think adding more star ammo types could help incentivize their use by making players more aware of their existence, and their original unique functionalities could simply be conversions on base Fallen Stars. Calamity also has no lack of Space/Sky themed materials, like Aerialite, Astral, Meld, and Cosmolite, to draw concepts from as well.

On top of all this, it would also provide a lot of variety to the weapons, and in a much easier way than just implementing more star cannons could, which would help the weapon subtype a lot.

Changing the bosses' order, perhaps by swapping Cryo's position with Aquatic Scourge, a boss whose drops are not locked by other bosses, would avoid making the player locked from getting Cryonic gear before beating two mech bosses, and putting Brimstone Elemental after only one mech would make players fight the boss player earlier.

**Make Fearmonger Armor's Damage Reduction Effect Works When Bosses Is Alive Or Rework It**

As the picture attached stated, Fearmonger Armor provides a 15% damage reduction effect during Frost/Pumpkin Moon, which looks like an amazing effect until you realise this effect do not work against bosses.

On top of that, there is no mention of this effect not working in-game, you only know this information from the wiki.

The reason why this effect is so awful is because Fearmonger is an armor that you can only access after farming the Post-Devourer of Gods Frost and Pumpkin Moon. This means that by the time this item is acquired it already outlived the benefit of (this particular part of) the set bonus. The only time this would had been useful is on Yharon but as stated, it doesn't work against bosses.

I suggest removing Pearl Shards from the former, and replacing Pearl Shards with a new Scourge themed item like "Scourge Teeth" or "Scourge Scales" in the latter. They share the more reddish colors of Scourge than they share any traits with... pearls.

The remaining crafts are all explicitly Sunken Sea themed (besides... lore items) and having the Clam drop Pearls makes WAY more sense. You could even have normal Clams drop them too. This would also give WAY more of an incentive to even fight Giant Clam, as most people overlook its mediocre accessories, and Amidias, who all things considered, only sells a handful of mediocre weapons.

On top of just making sense, it also wouldnt mess up the value of those items, since the arkhalis is not only more rare, but also slightly stronger than the terragrim.

At the moment the only vanilla carts are "cart dash-able" and the fastest vanilla cart (as calamity adds none bar cart of gods) is the mechanical cart, which is cart dash-able, and though most mightnt use carts, it is a slight inconvenience perhaps to have to only use mechanical cart up to post DoG.

Though it isn't a widely used feature, it would be cool and enjoyable to be able to cart dash with The Cart of Gods.

**Give Accessory Reforges A "Secondary Attribute" To Distinguish Them**

Referring to reforges like Menacing, Lucky, Warding, Silent, Quick, Violent, Arcane.

Currently a lot of them just "do the same thing", eg: Menacing, Lucky, Silent, Violent and Arcane "technically" all just give damage in a different way, and only Quick and Warding have their own distinct function.

However even at that Quick often is just worse than Warding after the previous nerf which makes the reforge very much not worth it outside of min-max scneario.

With that in mind, as Warding have a secondary attribute of "+1% damage reduction" to further enhance the power of the reforge, I feel other reforges can receive a secondary attribute to make them more distinguishable from each other.
For example:

• Menacing: "Damage Reduction Penetration" or something along the line, either flat or multiplicative
• Lucky: Increase "luck" stat to help with farming (and fits)
• Silent: Different stealth value on stand still and moving, max stealth, rogue velocity, a lot can fitting here
• Quick: Increase max acceleration and acceleration/deceleration, max movement speed...
• Violent: Increase melee size (fit with the whole "true melee" theme, although it works on many weapons now)
• Arcane: Mana cost reduction, mana regen or something as it need to compete with Menacing/Lucky

Making a recipe for the Caustic Tear out of a Torrential Tear and materials like Acidwood or Sulphurous sand would be a simple method to solve this issue. Another solution could be to entirely replace Torrential Tear with Caustic Tear, as spawning an Acid Rain also causes a rainstorm to happen.

In addition to changing the consoles, there should be some sort of camera in the Draedon lab that has an animated sprite that moves around and can be toggled on and off by the use of switches. This would fit in perfectly if added in with the new use of consoles. (Maybe they can even be seen through lab displays if wired to them? It would be cool but might be for a future update)

Shield of the Ocean has a similar issue with not being classified as a "Shield" EquipType, which is notable as it causes issues when trying to use it with vanilla's Brand of the Inferno, with which it just does not work to allow you to parry.

**Make The "No Health Regeneration" Effect Of Debuffs Actually Applies**

Currently this line is not referring to the total life regen that the player has, but rather the "natural health regeneration" of the player which is only about 0.5 HP/s or 1 life regen in combat, which means that this effect is nearly inconsequential.

Thus because of this, what is meant to be countering high life regen build ended up becoming the countered, as with enough life regen you can just outregen the debuffs (or at least negate a large portion of it).

This also makes item line like the Crown Jewel/Celestial Jewel/Astral Arcanum which supposedly "Boosts life regen even while under the effects of a damaging debuff" to be irrelevant as they carry no special property in this regard, they just give more life regen if you have a debuff. Indirectly because of this the only way to counter life regen of the player is by having the debuffs deals extremely high amount of damage (like the case of Shadowflame, God Slayer Inferno and Dragonfire) which can feel unfair against build that do not spec into life regen or immunity.

Thus, I think these debuffs should instead actually disable all life regen of the player to accomplish its main purpose of "countering life regen" and maybe LOWERS the DPS on the debuffs to compensate; that way the Crown Jewel line or debuff immunity options become more attractive as you no longer just universally ignore them through having high life regen.

• Items made fron Darksun Fragments;
• Items made from Ancendant Spirit Essence (combining all three materials and Phantoplasm for some reason);
• Items made from Cosmilite Bars;

Isn't there too much content unlocked after defeating ONE SINGLE boss? Considering that the player will only have to fight Yharon next, then move to Auric gear, this creates a massive item overbloat, where 70% of the items are not used by players in favor of stronger or more convenient ones.

My suggestion is to unlock these events by defeating the Sentinels of the Devourer.
For example:

• Storm Weaver unlocks the Endothermic Energy;
• Signus unlocks the Nightmare Fuel;
• Ceaseless Void unlocks the Darksun Fragments.

The arena borders of Supreme Calamitas are very... bad. It's just a one block wide wall. Why not make the borders prettier, increase the width to 3 blocks and change the texture of them, and add some visual effects outside the border, meaning bad consequences when going beyond them. I'm not suggesting that you do exactly the same as they did in Infernum, but it's worth working on it. Even Yharon has better borders than the FINAL boss (i.e. Supreme Calamitas). These borders are just knocked out of everything that happens, there is no feeling that you SHOULD stay within the borders of the arena, as if this one block is just a trifle. And I will return again to Yharon, his borders made it clear that if you go beyond them, you will die, but Calamitas has no such feeling of fear. And even more so, she will not even be able to kill you abroad, because from her you can simply fly all over the map. And this is called the FINAL boss. Yes, I don’t quite understand how you can change her behavior outside the arena, but you can make a debuff that deals damage over time and generally increase Calamitas aggression, give her more movement speed, increase the distance she will dash. And again, if you make a debuff, you can add some visual effects to it, so that the player understands that it is better not to go beyond the borders.

It’s infuriating to lose a fight because a couple of stray projectiles hit some cultists, causing the Lunatic Cultist to spawn. Adding a spawn blocker would fix this problem. This could either prevent the cultists themselves from spawning, or just prevent the Lunatic Cultist from spawning once the other cultists are dead. It’s highly likely that you will only need to do the pillars once thanks to new ways of getting fragments/meld, so the cultists become nothing but a nuisance.

Additionally, the three lances could have different effects with their dash; for example, the base jousting lance could have a bounce like Shield of Cthulhu, but the Hallowed could have a ram effect. This would provide them with much needed diversity between the three besides just damage.

Having a dash built in would be a fantastic way to increase their diversity from other weapons and from other Lances, and give them viable uses without needing to have exceptional damage

**Allow use of the Profaned Soul Crystal in vanity while having Profaned Soul Artifact equipped before endgame.**

Currently you can only equip one or the other, vanity slot or not.
This makes sense in endgame, since the crystal does everything the artifact does, but before then, when the crystal is vanity only, you're still forced to un-equip the Soul Artifact if you want to use the Soul Crystal as vanity.

This is disappointing as it's one of the few cases where you cannot look the way you want to look while having a specific build.
So I propose to change that, make the Soul Crystal usable in it's vanity slot before Endgame even while having the Soul Artifact equipped, if there's a problem with duplicate guardians, the pacifist guardians on pre-endgame Soul Crystal could be removed.

**Add a guaranteed Evil Altar 'Shrine' Near World Spawn**

Evil Altars are a required component for several crafts in the game, including most early boss spawners and the Night's Edge, and are typically only found rarely scattered around the world at mildly low depths (Surface 8' to Surface 0'), or in the world's Evil Biomes.

Players frequently complain about the difficulty of accessing these altars, and end up using quality of life mods to allow movable or craftable altars. (And while Calamity DOES have one of these, Draedon's Forge is... long past the point of usefulness.) Most of the time, a player could actually find an altar close to spawn, but this is inconsistent and even more time consuming compared to the guaranteed ones that spawn in the evil biomes.

A simple solution to alleviate these issues, while still maintaining the original spirit of the altars is to copy the other mildly rare natural structure; Sword Shrines. Adding a small space with a single altar in the center, perhaps with some world evil specific walls (non-spreadable ones like Flesh and Lesion, obviously) behind it would keep it tasteful, and this 'Altar Shrine' could have the same sort of vertical shaft as Sword Shrines have. This would not only notify the player of the Altar Shrine's location, but even those less informed likely know about Sword Shrines, and would investigate regardless due to the allure of getting an Enchanted Sword/Terragrim.

This also, arguably, would be a lot more interesting than the vanilla method where they're haphazardly thrown about worldgen, make the process of using them more interesting, as well as cluing the player in on their use (as their common nature makes them easy to ignore in vanilla), while also being a good Quality of Life feature for those more experienced.

**give Teleportation Potions a small chance to teleport you directly to any shrine**

Shrines currently have the problem of being ridiculously rare to find naturally, everyone knows that. They also, at least some of them, have very useful effects that some people even like to keep until lategame, but unfortunately, you wont find a single one in most of your playthroughs unless you like mining for hours on end for some reason.

Teleportation potions, currently, have the purpose of just using pure RNG to put you into random places around the world, which can be fun but unfortunately doesnt actually serve that much purpose unless youre speedrunning the game.

so, why not make teleportation potions teleport you to very specific places in the world, namely shrines? Its main functionality of teleporting you randomly around the world doesnt get impacted, but has the small chance of sparing you potentially hours of time of random exploration around the world. This solution would significantly improve both the item and the shrines at, as I see it, no real downside, and I dont think its hard to implement either. You could argue teleportation potions become much less random if they teleport you to shrines specifically, which is why this ability should only occur rarely, maybe a 1/10-1/20 or so chance?

Whenever I use the digging turtles diagonally I always hit my head on the block that isn't mined by the turtle.

I don’t know what Cryogen having a tiny shield serves for but as for Calamitas being so small, my guess is to have a smaller hit box, making it harder to hit while massive brothers being more physically dangerous. Personally I don’t find these size changes having much impact towards difficulty but instead just makes them look very odd if it’s not a worm boss.

**Buff, Rework or Remove Frost Flare (Accessory)**

Currently this accessory just serves close to no purpose. It is just an attempt to try to stack many conditional effects into 1 to create an interesting situational accessory but end up creating a contradicting accessory that serves no purpose.

It has 4 effects, all of which are bad for one reason or another:

1. Melee inflicts Frostburn

• Why not all class, this just makes it inherently bad to use it on anything but melee considering this is the only always active effect; Frostburn is also much weaker than Frostbite

2. Below 75% HP, grant 10% increased damage

• while looks like an ok effect it actually is not; generally low on life defensive buff is more useful than offensive because it helps you stay safe at low HP, this does not help with it

This is just a hinderance as if you accidently go above 75% you lose the damage, and even when active it is a worse Warrior Emblem

3. Below 25% life, grant 20 defense and 15% max speed and acceleration

• while I said that low life defensive boost is good, 25% is simply way too low, you never want to stay at this low HP because any hit have potential to kill you (through the 20 defense); speed is also not helpful as it can actually throw you off with sudden speed increase

4. Grant resistance against cold attack

• This would had been a useful effect except that it do not stack with Warmth potion (which is free and provide other cold debuff immunities)

Currently this accessory is just not remotely worth it, it should be buffed, reworked or if both are not an option removed.

**Buff or Give Bloom Stone Additional Effects**

As it stands beside the plant growing effect (which is only "useful" for getting dye plants for permanent HP upgrade, once each playthrough); its effect is:

+3 life regen (1.5 HP/s) while standing on ground, +6 (3 HP/s) if it is daytime

This accessory is just severely underpowered. On ground effect means if you start flying you immediately lose everything. Besides, Ambrosial Ampoule (earlier) provides +4 life regen and 5% DR always.

This accessory need helps, but buffing numbers directly can cause problem (due to nature of life regen), ideally it is given additional effects, some example idea from me are:
i) constantly restore small amount of mana even while firing magic weapons while on ground (make it like "Chaos Stone" where it is class focused)
ii) Have the plants you spawn instead be actual summons unique to the boots, providing unique bonuses (as a damage summon or even random buff minions)
iii) or even effect like some kind of active effect to give on ground boosts

There are a lot of potential effects that can be added to this accessory not only to make it more useful but also interesting.

**Move the Mimic Combo Accessories to T2 Anvils**

Currently, the Mimic accessories (Star Cloak, Philo Stone, Cross Necklace, Putrid Scent, Flesh Knuckles, Titan Glove) directly upgrade into their next stage as soon as you have both halves due to being combined at a Tinkerer's Workshop. This leaves the originals feeling underpowered or almost unnecessary, moreso just components/materials to get to their improved versions.

I simply suggest these upgrades get moved to the Mythril/Orichal anvils so they feel more like upgrades than just a necessary part of grinding.

There is some degree of nuance to this, however; Power Glove, Charm of Myths, and Arcane Flower could probably stay at T1 due to being upgrades to previous tiers, similarly to Amalgamated Brain, but Star Veil, Berserker's Glove, and Stalker's Quiver (Quiver is obtained at the same time as Putrid) absolutely should be moved up just so they do feel more unique.

This would also fix the fact that Charm of Myths is currently obtainable pre-WoF due to a Philo's Stone being obtainable in the Crags, however, if this is done, I feel Star Cloak and Philo's Stone should probably get some kind of effect to compensate for this.

Star Cloak being on player hit only feels awful, so perhaps it could get some secondary effect to compensate for this? Perhaps inflicting Holy Flames on players attacks or something (it would lose this when upgraded into Star Veil, but would be useful to keep to buff the miserable Bee Cloak, maybe it becomes Astral Infection? Idk). I'm not sure what Philo would get, but the more important part is separating these items to have more individual identities, and giving them appropriate buffs to feel less useless once they have been.

  -Abyss Gravel (Which prevents quite a few minor Abyss items and Fathom Seer Armor)

**Make "Powerful" Attacks From Enemy Use *Debuff Damage* Instead Of Direct Damage**

The title might be confusing so let me explain: Some enemies (bosses) have notable "powerful" attacks where they have extensively long telegraph to prepare you for the attack while also deal extreme amount of damage if you get hit, to certain degree you can call these "Ultimate moves" of the bosses. Most notable example are: Ceaseless Void's black hole (suck) phase, Exo Mechs Ares' Blender Beam and Thanatos T'hanos Beam.

However, often or not these attacks do not feel as powerful as they deserve due to Defense, Damage Reduction and I-frame. For example, an Auric Tesla Mage with no reforge and only 2 defensive accessory can easily get 200 defense and 20% DR which reduces Ares' Blender Beam damage to 305 when the player easily have 900+ HP, or to make it optimal to actually tank the arm's weaker attacks as you can I-frame through the blender easily.

Thus, to fix all of these problems, I think these "powerful" attacks should use debuff damage instead.

For example, instead of Ares' Blender dealing 528 damage which after reduction is 305 damage, it can instead say apply a 350 DOT (Damage Over Time) Debuff that get cleared instantly when you leave the area of the attack, not only can debuffs avoiding iframe conflict but also make these attacks more fair as you no longer take the full damage by accidently hitting it with your toe and rather have the damage equally dispersed over 1 second if you stay on the area of the attack. These attacks also feel more powerful due to them no longer being nullified by just minmaxing tank stats and just sloppily facetank through it (works for higher difficulty too as like Death Mode also increase debuff damage).

**Move Pearls Shards to Giant Clam and Give Desert Scourge a More Fitting Material**

Desert Scourge's Pearl Shards are a mess of theming. Items like Superball Bullets, Flurrystorm Cannon, and Lunic Eye have no reason to include them whatsoever. Acceleration Rounds, Flying Carpet, Firestorm Cannon, and Monstrous Knives only have them to lock progression.

I suggest removing Pearl Shards from the former, and replacing Pearl Shards with a new Scourge themed item like "Scourge Teeth" or "Scourge Scales" in the latter. They share the more reddish colors of Scourge than they share any traits with... pearls.

The remaining crafts are all explicitly Sunken Sea themed (besides... lore items) and having the Clam drop Pearls makes WAY more sense. You could even have normal Clams drop them too. This would also give WAY more of an incentive to even fight Giant Clam, as most people overlook its mediocre accessories, and Amidias, who all things considered, only sells a handful of mediocre weapons.

**Make Fishing Rod Progression Smoother (Especially Calamity Ones)**

Despite various Quality of Life changes to make fishing easier, fishing rod specifically can use a lot more improvements.

Currently a lot of fishing rod added by Calamity are just redundant as they do nothing special other than slight difference in fishing power, which is already saturated by vanilla fishing rod.

Besides, the 2nd problem is that multi-rod fishing rod (those that have more than 1 lines) which can significantly help player to reduce the fishing grind is only available at post-Plantera, way pass the point where you need good fishing gear (and fished) the most.

Thus, I suggest that Fishing Rod should progress in their number of lines starting from Hardmode and smoother (and can also serve as a way to repurpose the redundant rods), for example:

**Hardmode: **

Navy Fishing Rod (moved to Hardmode Sunken Sea, with improved fishing power and have 2 lines);
Slurper Pole (can be something related to Brimstone Elemental/Brimstone Crag with improved fishing power and 3 lines);
Feral Rod (perennial, ... and have 4 lines);
Rift Reeler (scoria, ... and have 5-6 lines); ....
(there are many ways to do this, this is just one example I think of)

This way the player can use the benefit of fishing rods at the time where they need it the most (like start of Hardmode) and to ensure that fishing gets easier by a smooth progression instead of jumps. This can be a significant improvement to help player with reducing fishing grinding.

**Increase The Yield Of Potion Crafting**

Currently potions are nearly mandatory to progress the game (or at least to reach the intended power level you are supposed to have), this is acknowledged by even Calamity itself with the addition of NPC selling potions to help with reducing the necessary grind for potion crafting.

However despite the various changes in attempt to help with potion crafting (eg: space planetoid giving herb bags and planter boxes, various easier way to acquire fishing gear), this change (title) haven't been seen despite it being the most direct and effective way to resolve potion grinding.

There are 2 (easiest) way to change this:

1. Simply increase how many potions (yield) per materials used:

• For example Ironskin potion may take 2x water bottle (instead of 1), 1x Daybloom and 1x Iron/Lead ore but will be craft into 2 Ironskin potions instead of 1; easily reducing grinding by half

2. Increase Alchemy Table chances to not consume materials used to craft potion; eg to 50-66%:

• A simple change to 50% means your potion crafting power is nearly doubled, while 66% chance is tripled

These changes should make it much less necessary to purchase potions from NPC or to use external mods like Alchemist NPC through providing a much more natural way to improve potion crafting efficiency.

i think pipes really help break up some of my builds and there's not much I can do about them being in my way except actuate them. problem there being is the shade difference between those and the non-actuated blocks. you guys dealt with the problem by encasing the transition in blocks or having them end at a wall, but it really does restrict the usage of the block.

as an example, i like to build in smaller, cramped spaces, and the only way of re-routing this pipe to be fully actuated was to either have a weird y shape from hammering both blocks next to the source to have a lavafall, along with the lava flowing back into my base because of the actuated blocks, or have it go up and around, both looking far worse than just having the pipe directly next to it.

**Buff/Give Additional Effect To The Amalgam**

While by no means a weak accessory, The Amalgam in its current stat is just a small upgrade compare to its components.

Amalgamted Brain have all the most important function of the accessory: Damage and the Brain of Confusion dodge effect; The Amalgam have more damage but the only other unique effect, potion duration one is less useful due to it being locked behind post-Devourer of God, a point where buying or crafting potions are generally no longer a problem.

As an end game accessory I think The Amalgam should be given additional effects to make it more interesting than just "Amalgamated Brain with more damage", perhaps to further emphasize its role as a pure class neutral offensive accessory considering the only other one is Reaper Tooth Necklace (or Dimensional Soul Artifact with significant downside) which means they are surprisingly lacking.

**Make "rains down [projectile]" effects always aim for the cursor**

Truly one of the worst effects in the game, accessories that cause a random non-descript projectile to fall from the sky occasionally are some of the most forgettable; Gehenna, Amidias' Pendant, Rotten Brain, Star Cloak, etc. (not including their upgrades, but its not THEIR effects that make said upgrades good).

While I would prefer for them to be reworked to "on enemy hits" effects (like those of Alchemical Flask, Unstable Granite Core [ESPECIALLY this one, it's a very unique way to address the effect without being broken], Feather Crown, etc.) such propositions have been met with little success, so at the very least, I feel like it would be appropriate for these projectiles to at least aim for the player's cursor.

This way they would be useable. The only other times accessories like this have been useable (ex; Star Cloak) has been abusing the effect and the absolute barf of projectiles they have to spit out just to make sure they hit something. Situations like this over-buffing from vanilla could be avoided if, at the very least, they aimed where the player was aiming.

**Make (bad) "when you are hit/take damage" Accessories Proc on Close Proximity As Well**

"When you are hit" accessories are some of the most underpowered effects in the game due to their reliance on the player purposefully messing up. These include; Mana Cuffs, Bee Cloak and its components, Rotten Brain, Frost Barrier, Fungal Carapace, etc.

Of course, on the other end, they are also some of the most overpowered accessories, too. For example, the whole Cross Necklace line and its bonus iframes, Panic Necklace/Giant Shell (once) letting you outrun DoG by abusing self-damage, and Hide of Astrum Deus just doing... everything and also on true melee hits but this isn't about that and true melee doesn't need more buffs.

The main issue is the effects either suck, or need to be completely busted to make them worth investing into at all; it doesn't help the most of the bad ones just spawn a projectile, while the good ones give you ways to get out of the situation where you were just damaged. Obviously reworking every single "when you are hit" effect to be as useful as the few standout ones would require a ridiculous amount of effort (and homogenize them), so I feel the obvious answer is to do what Calamity did with its "when you are hit" mechanic; Rage.

Simply making the bad effects (...maybe not Mana Cuffs but they're a whole nother issue) proc when the player gets very close to enemies/bosses would skyrocket their usability, while also rewarding the player for skilled play. Obviously they'd need to be put on a timer but... they already were when they only proc'd on hit anyway, so it really isn't very divergent from their original design, and the precedent is already there with Rage going from "taking damage" to proximity.

Or you could just make them trigger on true melee strikes too, but I don't think any of us want that. lmao

p.s. maybe blazing core could just be moved to a keybind; i know it's control bloat, but it'd be more useful like that tbh

I love passive buffs in the game, and it'd be super neat if there were more ways to get decorations that buff you, especially from the drunk princess.

Also, I'd love to see more of the fancy 50 gold candle types - one that increases max life or a one that applies a crit chance increase or makes attacks apply a special scaling debuff would be slick. Personally, I find collecting candles to be really satisfying, and giving players more options for minor passive buffs can both make building/collecting more fun as well as make the harder difficulties more accessible. Also, generally speaking, it's true that a lot of items that are added can contribute to item bloat as they get overshadowed by others in their tier or otherwise just get left behind. Passive buff items, however, remain rewarding to collect throughout the game, and never is there that point where you work to get one only to be disappointed in it becoming obsolete much later. I think that adding small incremental things like that can really help build a sense of progression and continuity, and that is 100% how I've felt so far with effigies and existing candles.

**Add An Upgrade Line For Hero Shield**

Currently there are roughly 3 type of shields:

1. Offensive/Mobility line upgraded from Ankh Shield/Asgard's Valor; focusing on dash and offensive power
2. Utility shield line upgraded from Frozen Shield and combined with Deific Amulet; focusing on iframe and healing potion Cooldown to boost defense in a different way
3. Hero Shield; which simply have bulky defense and give a lot of max HP (and aggro increase)

Overall, despite there being many "shield" accessories, surprisingly there is none that specifically focus on the "tank" aspect of the shield, such as to provide protection for your allies (in multiplayer) through drawing aggro while providing the necessary stats to do so. For me this is a perfect fit for if Hero Shield have an upgrade line due to what it provide already lining up with this purpose.

As of currently only Hero Shield line is cut off right at where it started and I think it can be interesting to provide an additional defensive option to the player to focus solely on purely defenses (and even to an extent of sacrificing other aspect for that), for example effect that trade off mobility or damage for higher defense to significantly distinguish it from other shields, or such as having active ability that boost defensive power in some way for a duration which makes it excel in pure defense power to other shields. A lot can be done here.

**Reconsider Acid Rain miniboss progression.**

There are three minibosses exclusive to Acid Rain. These are Cragmaw Mire, Mauler, and the Nuclear Terror. Currently, Cragmaw Mire spawns starting at Tier 2, and Mauler and Nuclear Terror both spawn starting at Tier 3. Despite being exclusive to this tier, Mauler very rarely spawns during Tier 3, as it’s mostly comprised of Nuclear Terrors and the occasional Cragmaw Mire. This leads to Maulers being very forgettable and hard to find.

My suggestion is to shift the order/tier of the minibosses around. I think Cragmaw Mire Tier 1, Mauler Tier 2, and Nuclear Terror Tier 3 would make the most sense. Obviously this would involve stat rebalancing, and rebalancing/shifting the drops, but there are workarounds for that. This would make fine thematic sense for acid rain, and make the Mauler and the different acid rain tiers more distinguished and unique as a whole.

While Calamity doesn't cater to specific subclasses, moving Lacerator to post-Polterghast, despite not adding any more yoyos, would make the subclass feel more fleshed out due to the weapons being spread out more.

Vanilla torches have associated campfires, but not the Calamity ones. It would be a good idea to make campfires for each biome, as there are now several torches instead of just one.

**Alter Supreme Calamitas’ Second Sepulcher Phase**

Currently, Scal’s Second Sepulcher phase feels kind of underwhelming as her final trick. Yes, it features both Sepulcher and the Brimstone Monsters, but considering Sepulcher no longer blocks projectiles, the more restricted movement from the moons isn’t as impactful and it is now vastly easier to destroy the Brimstone Hearts during that phase, making it shorter as a result. This could be changed in several ways, such as giving the second set of Brimstone Hearts more HP, adding more hearts making the Second Sepulcher (or maybe sepulcher in general) more aggressive, or even making it so that after the second set of hearts are destroyed, Sepulcher sticks around until the fight ends when Scal gets to 1% HP.

**Add a few more Shrines respective to some biomes**

With the reworks to many shrines that do exist today, I am quite curious to think what would happen if we add more shrine related structures to places new and old. Doing so will also make more parts of the world more interesting to see, when encountered. This will also give out more opportunities to add more unique items inside when ready. Also, if there is a chance for a new underworld shrine, the Murasama should NOT be in that shrine, as it already sticks with the underworld lab and its respective log.

**Make mob lore items show up on the map** (full screen map) with an icon.

Ive killed a few bosses now that have died off screen and i just have no clue where the lore item is. All im suggesting is something like what happens with the lunar fragments, shown below
(note, i know exactly where the vortex fragment is in the screenshot. If this were a lore item i would have no clue)

Edit: I have been told that the lunar fragments showing up on the map are from the boss checklist mod, but i still think that the same function should apply to lore items. Just to clarify, lore items drop separately from the treasure bag and float in the air at the location the boss has died

Remove Jetpack from MOAB

As I understand it, MOAB is generally regarded as worse for mobility than its direct downgrade, Bundle of Balloons, because of the cap on the player's horizontal movement speed because of the added wings. I, and a lot of other people who use this mod, enjoy having multiple jumps over wings. By that logic, the best way to make MOAB more useable would be to remove jetpack from its crafting recipe and replace it with another item or two, such as frog's leg, aero stone, magic carpet or one or both of the other two balloons, sharkron and fart balloon.

**Rework the Pirate to Help Expand the Abyss/Sulphurous Sea Lore**

The Pirate is already heavily associated with the Ocean and Sulphurous Sea/Abyss due to his dialogue and the fact the Sulphurous Sea literally has props called Pirate Crates. Furthermore, he's a rather useless NPC, selling... cannons, I guess? Calamity already has NPCs to help explain most biomes, like Calamitas and the Crags, Amidias and the Sunken Sea, etc. Yet the biggest and least explained biome, the Abyss, has nothing to work with, and seems like the best candidate biome for having an NPC to explain its lore.

I think using the vanilla Pirate might be a great option for this. He does practically nothing anyway, so it wouldn't really impede on his nearly nonexistent design, and he already talks about sea monsters. Even in the lore items, Yharim refers to enemies like Leviathan and the Scourges as sea monsters, so tying the Pirate in more with the abundance of water themed content Calamity already adds would work perfectly well. I originally considered him even possibly getting to sell some of the weapon drops from the Abyss after defeating certain minibosses, having Quests like the Angler (but more like the Tracker from Thorium); I think you get the idea, but I wasn't exactly sure how to expand on it, and it was a bit specific. Either way, I feel like tying him to these biomes more might help give him more of a purpose.

**Buff Master Ninja Gear (and Its Upgrade Line)**

With the new patch a new Dash item is added which essentially is an upgrade Shield of Cthulhu. However, here comes the problem:

Asgard's Valor: give you an amazing medium range dash that makes you immune to contact damage along with good defensive stats and debuff AND knockback immunity.

Shield of the High Ruler: gives you an ok long range dash that that cut dash cooldown in half if you hit an enemy, along with good defensive stats and debuff AND knockback immunity, and you take 15% less damage from any projectile that hits you from the front, and BEFORE defense and damage reduction (which is the best kind of reduction)

This is more insane if you consider the fact that aiming with a weapon automatically makes you face the enemy, thus almost always applying, and anything that isn't contact is considered a projectile, including obscure attack like Ares' Blender and Thanatos' Beam.

Meanwhile Master Ninja Gear: a long range dash with no special quality (which ironically Shield of the High Ruler have the same length of dash), and you dodge a single projectile only once every 90 seconds.

It is pretty obvious that Master Ninja Gear offers close to nothing in comparison when every bosses in the game likely have projectile and (most) of them are heavily contact damage based, which are heavily countered by the two shields.

Master Ninja Gear just desperately need buffs. For example since both of the shields specialize in contact and projectile respectively, maybe make Master Ninja Gear the "middle ground", such as makes you take reduce damage if you are in the middle of a dash; or have it emphasize mobility boost by making it give stats like movement, jump speed and wing flight time/speed; or go even crazier like "active button to make you immune for 1 second" on a cooldown.

All can works to bring Master Ninja Gear closer to its insane competitions.

Fungal Clump and Shroomite items are both mushroom themed, but aren't technically weapons. Fungal Symbiote still works with Puff Shroom so I see no reason Fungal Clump shouldn't. Having the Fungal Sybmiote effect always trigger while wearing Shroomite armor, and have it work with Shroomite Digging Claws and Pearl God since they are also made with Shroomite would also be cool. The item is incredibly niche anyway, so I doubt this will break anything, it would just be more consistent with the caption.

**Change Yharon's brief slowdown after a BH to either a delay before attacking again or reduce BH density in Death**

As it stands, Yharon overlapping his attacks with a BH is really annoying, especially so in P2 and SP7. The recent update hasn't exactly changed that at all so this problem remains. His main source of difficulty should not be based around this somewhat hard-to-deal-with situation that occurs so often in the fight, in particular, Phase 2.

So I have 2 different ideas on how this can be solved:

• Give him a delay before attacking again after doing a BH instead of an ineffective slowdown.
• Reduce Bullet Hell Density on Death so it's at least somewhat more manageable, can even only be the P2 bullet hells that get this change.

**Give Arsenal Weapons Accessories**

Charging weapons are a very unique mechanic in Calamity, and help add depth to its weapons, however, due to the complexity around using them and their damage fall off, many player likely overlook them for their equally powerful, non-charging counterparts. A great way to incentivize more players to use this mechanic would be to implement an accessory that interacts with charging weapons in some way. The accessory itself could even have a charge.

The reason this could help increase usage is the same way Daawnlight Spirit Origin helped sniper rifles for Rangers. If the player is given another item that directly synergizes with the weapon, they'd be more likely to experiment and try them out.

**Make dodge cooldown recharge faster when no boss is alive/not activate to attacks that deal a low amount of damage**

Main reasons for this change is because there is just no way a dodge accessory is worth equipping when youre not fighting a boss, as blocking any attack, including the 1 dmg ones, doesnt do much when there can be upwards of 10 enemies on screen at a time. Also very convenient if you get hit by a random enemy while walking back to your arena and now have to wait 90 seconds just to be able to fight the boss again.

**Make the Goblin Tinkerer cycle through accessory reforges instead of it being semi-random**

Calamity's current reforge system for accessories is a bit annoying. Unlike the weapon reforge system, the accessory one is still a bit random. While you're guaranteed to get top-tier reforges, there's no set cycle for which one you'll get, which can make it very annoying to get the reforge you want. Instead, the Goblin Tinkerer should cycle through the reforges so you can get the one you want more easily. For example, you might get Menacing -> Warding -> Lucky -> Quick -> Silent -> Arcane and then repeat that cycle. That way, you're guaranteed to get the accessory modifier you want by cycling the list instead of having to waste your money on trying to get lucky with it. The removal of RNG-based reforging was a welcome change, but the accessories could still benefit from this one last change.

currently, hive minds first phase consists of hive blobs that fire projectiles, hive mind itself constantly teleporting, and, at certain health intervals, spawning a horde of enemies. on paper, a fine collection of attacks. In practice, however, once the adds have been removed, hive mind itself feels incapable of doing much of anything, as such, due to spawning new minions being locked to health intervals, it feels far to easy to simply stall on the lone hive mind for potion cooldowns/adrenaline, which both makes the phase incredibly easy and incredibly slow, making this phase more involved and allowing the hive mind to do more than just teleport would alleviate this tremendously and greatly improve the pacing of the fight.

**Make Bone Arrows Craftable Post-Skeletron and Make Them Synergize With Necro Armor**

In the most recent update, Bone Arrows were buffed... from 7 to 8 damage. (How Ya Doin' Muramasa?)
I'll admit, Bone Arrows are supposed to be a relatively early game ammo, but with how hard it is to gather the money to effectively buy enough to easily use them when you actually manage to find a Skeleton Merchant pre-Boss, and with how easy it is to grind out the strictly superior Unholy Arrows from Eye of Cthulhu after you've beaten it, Bone Arrows have been left in a pretty sad place.

Another item left in a pretty sad place! Necro Armor. It's effectively outclassed by both the Aerospec you obtain before it, and the Statigel you obtain after it. I'd argue even Desert Prowler with it's super crit set bonus is more effective than this stat-stick post-Skeletron armor.

If Calamity thinks Bone Arrows are worth the time to balance, then I think that a great way to give both of these items new life would be to give them some kind of synergy, and then make Bone Arrows craftable from... well, bones. This locks their easy obtainment far past the point where they would normally be useful standalone, while also making them easier to obtain at the same time as Necro for whatever synergy it ends up having with them.

One possible synergy could be to do something similar to Fungal Symbiote where Necro armor buffs all "Bone" related Ranger items. You could make Bone Glove (another miserable bone related item) deal Ranger damage while both are equipped so it could receive bonuses from Ranged damage. Maybe it could give Bone items more piercing, or make them fire faster, or maybe Ranged attacks could explode into Bones, kinda like Crystal Bullets. You get the idea.

**Rework the Hydrothermic and Daedalus armor sets**

The reasoning is quite simple: Daedalus and Hydrothermic are literally just Hardmode Ore Armor Sets But Modded.
For some time, Calamity has been trying to avoid bloat and rework useless things to make them more appealing, and yet we still have at least two armor sets that have almost nothing to them. Reaver basically was Chlorophyte but better, and after some time it got reworked to a more Jack-of-all-Trades armor set with three helmets for different purposes. So here comes a question: what can Daedalus bring when there are Adamantitanium tier armors, and what can Hydrothermic bring when there are Chloro tier armor sets for melee, ranger and mage and Tiki/Spooky for summoner? The only benefits come for Rogue, but even then for early hardmode there is Titan Heart armor, so that only leaves Hydrothermic.
Those are just reasons to consider a rework . I can't propose any ideas, but those armor sets definitely need some changes to them

**Rebalance/Rework/Remove Astral and Brimflame armor**

Brimflame: Unlocked at pretty much the exact same point as spectre. (Brimflame is post Cal Clone, while spectre is post Plant) This set is strictly better than Spectre in offence, meaning the only reason to use spectre is for healing, which cripples your damage in the process. (Calamity even nerfs the set bonus of offensive spectre, when brimflame would be better even without the nerfs). To further exasperate this, Brimflame is better without using the set bonus, Spectre in vanilla adds a cap of 400 dps with the ghosts, but calamity makes this a cap of 120 dps with the nerf, which is more than compensated for with brimflames 5% dmg, 8% crit, and 10 mana it has over spectre, while only losing out on 3% movement and 3% mana reduction.

Astral: This may be more of an issue with previous sets being too strong, but this set is useless for summoner (summons can't crit), useless for rogue (no stealth), outclassed by beetle for melee (30 melee damage/speed is balanced), outclassed by Shroomite for range (The helmet bonus is a multiplier, enough said), and only better by a fairly small margin than brimflame for mage. This armor also lacks identity, being an all class armor with random potion effects thrown it, when for all intensive purposes it's just a mage armor.

As it stands, the Molten Quiver is currently an instant upgrade. Some other instant upgrades got moved to a higher tier crafting station, or had a recipe change such as Fire Gauntlet getting pushed to Post-Golem via Scoria Bars. These accessories are very thematically similar, as they are both class-specific accessories that require a semi-rare start-of-Hardmode accessory, and a Magma Stone. Stalker's Quiver also exists on the exact same tier as the Molten Quiver, yet is just the superior quiver. Due to this, moving it to later would allow for it to be unnerfed, and for Stalker's Quiver to not just dominate early-Hardmode progression.

**Add a new ranger accessory for early-mid hardmode, ideally with a unique effect**

Currently, there are very few ranger accessories for hardmode, and most of them are available shortly after beating the wall of flesh. You're basically stuck using the ranger emblem and a lot of generic accessories for most of hardmode, all the way up to Golem at least, simply due to a lack of specific options. The fact that the class guide suggests continuing to use the Ranger Emblem even after acquiring its direct upgrade (the Deadshoot Brooch) really highlights how few options are available.

Even for the options available, most of them are just relatively uninteresting stat sticks, and/or are exclusive to specific weapon types; if you're focusing on using guns, for instance, the ranger emblem is the only class-specific accessory you gain between Skeletron and Plantera, and after you defeat Plantera you only unlock the deadshot brooch (just a numerical bonus, although arguably the projectile speed qualifies as interesting). Archers get quivers, which technically also provide a projectile speed boost, but still only have numerical effects (except for the molten quiver, but that's strictly inferior to the stalker's quiver, which is a pure stat stick).

As I went through the game, I felt as though I wasn't progressing very much, and had little choice in what I used since I was using generic armor, generic accessories, and a small number of stat stick accessories for a long period of time.

Currently especially in Death Mode, you can easily get excessive amount of Blood Orb just by farming normal enemies spawns due to the massively inflated spawnrate. With Zerg potion and so on you can easily boost it to the point of constantly having 100+ enemies on your screen.

Comparatively Blood Moon Fishing enemies not only are way harder to kill but also drop pitiful amount of Blood Orb. With consideration that even basic potions take 10 Blood Orbs each craft, even Dreadnautilus only provides you with 4 potions worth of craft per kill.

**Buff Crystal Assassin armor's dash**

Currently, Crystal Assassin is a somewhat unique armor, in that it innately gives a dash, a characteristic shared with only three other armors: God Slayer, Plaguebringer, and Solar Flare. Each of these has something unique about their dash: God Slayer with it being omnidirectional, Solar Flare's being a ram, and Plaguebringer's spawning bees and getting a ram. Dashes aside, Crystal Assassin got shafted by Calamity, what with removing the stats part of the set bonus and simply leaving the dash. In vanilla, the set bonus of 10% increased crit chance and damage allowed Crystal Assassin armor to be on par with Cobalt and Palladium. Just something to keep in mind, as in Calamity, it's worse than Cobalt or Palladium even accounting for a freed up accessory slot. I propose giving Crystal Assassin's dash a dodge, similar to the Counter Scarf. The dash it gives is often seen as a downgrade, as its only benefit at the moment is distance, which isn't very important compared to rams or dodges.

Also, the visibilty issue is still present in the Underworld, because the projectiles not only blend in to lava but it is very difficult to see them against the busy, bright background.

Some more accessability features would also be nice - like getting rid of the orange filter when fighting Yharon (and maybe the dragonfolly? can't rember), maybe some kind of high-contrast mode/color block like what's in Ultrakill.

Currently to put it lightly movement speed or Quick reforge on accessories (the one that give +4% movement speed) is not remotely worth it, they simply don't do anything.

However, this is not entirely true, from testing there are several things to note:

1. Movement speed is still very useful for running on-ground in acceleration (reach max speed faster) and slightly boost maximum run speed, though this matter less as game progress due to better wings
2. Movement speed do help with flying speed, but only if you have very high amount
3. Movement speed basically have a "breaking point" where it starts being more impactful once you get more than certain amount, which currently is way too hard to get to due to movement speed items being nerfed globally

Thus, I think Quick reforge, the dedicated speed option should have scaling because of this. Eg: 4% movement speed in pre-Hardmode, 6% for Hardmode and 8% for post-Moon Lord.

It should start off low because it is still useful for running (which is relevant in pre-Hardmode) but as you progress and want to boost wings by sizeable amount, you need higher movement speed.

There is really not too much balance concern for scaling because it is very hard to stack high movement speed nowadays and even then you likely have to drop all other gears like damage and defense for it. This just gives Quick more of a chance to be useful.

Make the Onyx Excavator Key Placeable

This could be done by converting the key into an item, but it would be a nice addition for builders to be able to place it like it is in th lab where you find it.

**Add Trail Effects to the Elemental Axe Like the Effects on the Terra Prisma**

The elemental axe blades just look boring right now as they’re just a colored silhouette. Now, this could be considered fine because that is what the Terra Prisma does, however the Terra Prisma blades sit by the player in an interesting way like wings and have visually nice trails and a cool glow. The elemental axe could use some visual enhancement to make it on par with newer visuals brought by 1.4.

**Change Prideful Hunter's Planar Ripper recipe to use 5 Galactica Singularities instead of 6**

Not a necessary change but it's a bit awkward when almost all other weapons are crafted using 5 Galactica Singularities, especially when using magic storage to create them in packs of 10

**Reorganize post-Evil Boss Progression**

Currently, after beating the Eater or Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu, the next step in progression is for the player to fight the Perforators or Hive Mind, and typically, a well prepared player can easily beat these bosses immediately after each other with little to no preparation due to them being very similar in strategy, and being fought in the exact same location as their predecessors. It makes the Evil 2 bosses feel very 'same-y' as they're fought at the same time, in the same place, with almost identical gear.

At the moment, both the pre-Evils tier (King Slime, Desert Scourge, Eye of Cthulhu, Crabulon) and the post-Evils tier (Deerclops, Queen Bee, Skeletron, Slime God) have 3 or 4 bosses each, and I feel like it would be very easy to simply move the two bosses with the least amount of identity in their current tiers to this area.

Crabulon and Deerclops are overshadowed in returns by their counterparts in terms of drops, and feel like the biggest contributors to content bloat at their current stages. There's just not much incentive to fight them currently. I think simply moving them to the single most empty part of the game would not only help them feel more involved, but also make the Evil 2 bosses feel like more of a step in progression instead of just Evil Boss 2: Electric Boogaloo. This would also give each tier an equal number of bosses to fight, which would also help with content distribution.

**Recolor the underworld background while in the Brimstone Crags**

An example of what I'm talking about from the Profaned Garden in Infernum 1.9: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/770382072056381480/1081795234477908008/2023-03-04_22-26-58.mp4
The color schemes of the usual hell background and the Crags tiles are a bit dissonant from each other, especially since being in the Crags recolors actual lava. Making the hell background change shades while in the Crags, the stone turning grayer and the lava turning pinker, would improve visual flow and immersion. Or it can just get a whole new background to itself if one is planned.

**Make reforges no longer affect calamity rarities or not affect it as much**

At the stage of the game where you reach the calamity rarities, you'll always want to have the best reforge no matter what as money becomes a non-issue. It was cool seeing a weapon's rarity colour and immediately determining what tier it belonged to for example dark blue for post DoG or pure green for post Polter/Old Duke, now its fairly wishy washy, you have post-providence/servants of devourer gear going all the way to dark blue, post-DoG equips going pink which was a rarity I feel was reserved for developer items.

Tldr, the suggestion is to either make the rarities not be affected or the rarity should only jump by 1 tier as opposed to up to 3 with the current system. I realize this goes against the system the vanilla game laid out but that's what has made calamity special, it doesn't need to play by vanilla rules.

Add a strong water, electricity and sickness-type debuff.

I really like the concept of debuff types and vulnerabilities. As I play around it, it makes me change weapons and accesories more often to use my arsenal to its fullest potential for certain fights and I think it just feels refreshing and fun. This system is already important for me, but if fully developed it could be a massive game-changer in my opinion.

With Crush Depth being the only water-type damage debuff, electrified the only electricity-type, and sulphuric poisoning having the most dps out of all sickness debuffs, post-ml vulnerability system really falls off and doesn't matter that much, since most weapons have enough raw damage to get the job done.

**Make the brimstone crag buildings ignore insta bridges**

When using an insta bridge in the underworld, it can destroy a lot of buildings around it, and walls, in calamity infernum, provi's arena denies all types of insta bridges, and stops it from going through/destroying the structure, if the brimstone crags could do the same, it would be nice, as the new brimstone crags already seem to serve the purpose of an arena. and it would just make things easier to not have to rebuild the buildings, or biome again

**Allow the Eye Bone to be Right Clicked to Buff all Pets.**

Terraria 1.4.3 added the Eye Bone item. When equipped in the pet slot, it summons a portable piggy bank (Chester) that follows the player and acts as an upgrade to the Money Trough. It is an amazing quality of life item that saves the user an inventory slot and lets them store money / items even while on the move / in battle. Unfortunately, the Eye Bone takes up the user's cosmetic pet slot. This makes it the only cosmetic pet in Calamity to have a practical use and means that players must forego having any other pet in order to benefit from the Eye Bone - a huge disappointment when there are so many well designed pets added in the mod and in Calamity's Vanities as well.

My suggestion is to allow players to have the best of both worlds. The Eye Bone item would be activated by right clicking on it in the hotbar and could be toggled on and off at will (the same as with activating Hermit's Box of One Hundred Medicines). When enabled, this would allow whatever pet is in the user's cosmetic pet slot to have the same mobile piggy bank functionality as Chester. This way, players can access all of the new pets of the Calamity mod while not losing out on the quality of life benefits of Chester.

(If adding full piggy bank functionality isn't feasible from a coding perspective, enabling a piggybank hotkey or giving the user Chester as an additional pet that takes up no slots are alternative ways of implementing this sugestion).

The Benefits:

• Players no longer need to choose between aesthetics and quality of life when it comes to pets.
• The pets added into the Calamity and Calamity's Vanities mods are no longer functionally redundant.
• There is already a pet item in the game that gives a permanent buff so a precedent is already there.
• It would be completely optional to enable and only affect quality of life.

**Add debug items to force generation of some Calamity structures or biomes**

Some mod conflicts as well as some inherent bugs in Calamity can sometimes cause generation of structures or biomes to fail. Notably, this is currently somewhat common with Exodium planetoids and Sunken Sea labs.

Adding Debug items to force generation of calamity structures would be a band-aid solution to these bugs, as well as being a band-aid to similar ones that will inevitably crop up later, while also providing a much-requested way to make older worlds or worlds generated without calamity work better.

Remove/Remake the Caustic Edge/Ultisword line

This line of broadswords is one of the oldest ones in the mod, and yet it's one of the least updated. Their projectiles aren't very interesting, and work mostly the same since their introduction.
Addicionally, their theming is weak and outdated. The first two swords in the line have a poisonous/desease theme, while the latter two are supposed to be Yharim's blade. All four are also jungle themed. However, as of the latest update, Yharim has no ties whatsoever with the jungle, and it doesn't make much sense that his blade is made out of Uellibloom and not Auric bars.
For this reason, I recommend that this line of bland broadswords get removed from the mod, remade to be a proper replica of Yharim's blade, or something else entirely.

At the moment the Tarragon Helm (Melee) has a different format for its buffs for some reason.
At the moment its:
Helm of the disciple of ancients
Temporary immunity to lava
Can move freely through liquids
5% increased damage reduction
10% increased melee damage and critical strike chance.
Whilst every other one is:
Temporary immunity to lava
Can move freely through liquids
10% increased ranged damage and critical strike chance
5% increased damage reduction
(This was just the ranger one there all the same)
The DR and damage increase are swapped for some reason.
This should be changed so people can easily differentiate the helmets by looking at the damage boost.

Give AeW his own Relic.

AeW is the last and strongest enemy you have the option of fighting in the mod. Despite this, he has no relic or placable item to commemorate beating him. Boss rush has the rock, which is its commemorative item. AeW’s closest thing is putting a halibut cannon on a weapon rack, which means that if you want a trophy and a weapon, you need to kill him twice
If Giant clam and Great sand shark have them, I believe AeW deserves one too.

You only get one murasama per world, however it becomes a rather annoying situation in a multiplayer playthrough which the only option is to get it first or open another world. It would be highly beneficial to add a recipe for the weapon either post yharon or pre yharon (Because the lock exists) so now everyone can get the murasama from the same world.

**Let the Momentum Capacitor Work Vertically.**

A very simple change, but would make accessing and using hellavators significantly less annoying. One could simply hold the item, and fall in a similar way to using the Slimy Saddle at quicker speeds.

There will still be several alternatives to the item (pogo stick, Slimey Saddle) that are available in earlier moments of the game, so this item could serve as a slight upgrade to them. The maximum fall-speed boost of the slimey saddle is 2x, while the maximum horizontal speed boost of the Momentum Capacitor is 5.8x, and of course, the buff would be balanced in the fact that the capacitor still cannot be used during boss fights.

While I'm not sure if the buff should be 5.8x (as it is horizontally), I think buffing vertical movement speed to at least be on par or above the slimey saddle (a 2x fall-speed multiplier) would be a helpful upgrade to the current pre-hardmode mobility items like the saddle and pogo-stick. Plus, the player would still have the option to later upgrade to the Portal Gun after ML is defeated, which has a max fall speed multiplier of about 4x. Also, if the player wants to move fast horizontally, but not fall quickly, perhaps the vertical multiplier wouldn't be applied unless the W or S keys are held.

Again, this isn't the biggest rework, and a change like this will probably only save me about 15 minutes max per run. But still, the addition will add more mobility options, and overall make it a much more fun item to use.

ps: Even the description of the item states it should basically work in all directions, so, I think it should :)

**Make Necklace of Vexation Works When Exactly On 50% HP**

Necklace of Vexation is an item that gives you 20% increased damage if you are under 50% HP.

While previously this do not matter, with the new patch with The Regenator rework which basically make it so your max HP is always 50%, this basically means the accessory do not work with The Regenator.

I feel a new interesting build that deviates from other builds in game that utilize stuffs like this that put you below certain life threshold can increase build variety but for now Necklace of Vexation feels like a missopportunity, as all it needs is a 1 HP difference to make the build much more viable.

For reference Frozen Shield and Old Duke's Scale also works when exaclty on 50% HP so this suggestion is not the sole case for change like this.

**Move the Lacerator yoyo to post-Polterghast**

Currently, there are 3 yoyos that are obtained directly post-Providence, being the Lacerator, Solar Flare, and Verdant. For reference, Calamity adds a total of 18 yoyos, meaning 1/6th of Calamity's yoyos are at the exact same point in progression. While Calamity doesn't cater to specific subclasses, moving Lacerator to post-Polterghast, despite not adding any more yoyos, would make the subclass feel more fleshed out due to the weapons being spread out more. It also fits in with the Bloodflare armor set, which is post-Polterghast and is also made with bloodstone. This also gives Lacerator a chance to finally be viable on DoG.

**Buff or Rework Bone Wing and Its Bonus**

The image attached is comparison of Bone Wing with Tattered Fairy Wing, a Pumpkin Moon Wing that you can obtain at the same progression as Bone Wing which is post-Plantera.

To put it simply, currently Bone Wing is just completely worthless.

It have lower wing stats because it is supposed to have a powerful set bonus, however the set bonus is too weak to make Necro Armor viable at post-Plantera because Necro Armor + Bone Wing straight up is worse than Shroomite Armor by itself, let alone combined with its Shroomite Hoverboard wing set bonus.

This wing is understated in every way and desperately need buff to justify its effect, or reworked to be completely different, or even potentially retier Bone Wing earlier into the progression which can make it an interesting sidegrade to many armors; many solution can work.

**Buff hive bosses in hardmode**

Since hive bosses drop cursed flame/ichor in hardmode, making them harder perhaps would make them more interesting. Bosses like ravager for example gets buffed post providence. The difficulty could be as hard as dreadnautilus. In compensation for the increased difficulty they could maybe drop a lot more cursed flame/ichor, and maybe biome mimic drops. Maybe it could also drop souls of night, similarly to how queen slime drops souls of light.
