Add more tools to assist with arena building.

Calamity encourages having a proper setup and arena when fighting its bosses, yet provides nothing readily accessible for making an arena: your options are limited to using explosives to clear, manually mining, or if you're lucky enough, using the onyx excavator drill to clear out horizontal space. However, these options are moreso for clearing out an underground-level arena, rather than a large surface arena which is often recommended for fighting the post-Moonlord bosses such as DoG and Providence. Making an arena is tedious, and it doesn't seem to make much sense to not provide some sort of tools to facilitate the process.

Have Aerialite spawn in the Sky/Space layer, i.e. within Floating Islands and Planetoids --- and to mirror it, make Aero Slimes spawn in the Sky/Space layer.

❔
It's called Aerialite, being dropped by Aero Slimes.
It's the main mat of a sky-themed set.
You craft the set stuff with it and several other materials found in the sky.
It just makes sense, really, much more than having it spawn underground --- and additionally, it gives a bit of reason past ignoring early-game progression to travel up to the stars and take a gander at those Planetoids that Calamity adds (yes I know Exodium Clusters exist but by that point you can just fly up there and it really doesn't matter).

Reduce Blood pact critical damage from 2.5x to 2.25

The blood pact is sometimes regarded as a meme in that you can get critically hit for unfair amounts of damage even at the stage in which it is acquired.
Nerfing its crit damage to 2.25x will keep it from just straight up doubling the amount of hits you can take yet still make it risky to use further in progression

Buff the rage boost and/or its upgrades.

As it stands right now, rage is completely useless next to adrenaline. rage boosts damage by 50% to start, and 110% by endgame. Adrenaline boosts damage by 150% all throughout the game, making it significantly stronger than rage by default. When rage and adrenaline are used together, the overall damage boost is 300%, but it ignores all rage upgrades, meaning that extra damage is again useless. Considering how much longer it takes to get rage versus adrenaline, rage should be boosted to have at least as much damage as adrenaline, and its upgrades should be applicable while using rage and adrenaline together.

Add ways to stop environmental dangers from death mode mid-endgame

At some point, the lightning, geysers, and tornadoes become less of a danger and more of a chore, something like lightning rods or geyser suppressors would clear the dangers as they just make travelling take longer and having to wait rain out. These types of things already exist for freezing to death and burning to death, and cave darkness can be mitigated too. So why not bring these to the actually deadly projectiles?

Make Normal Weapons Deal 25% Less Damage if you have Anything Summoned (except in OOA, of course) Unless the Player is Wearing Fearmonger or Multi-Class/Classless Armor (e.g. forbidden and astral armor) in Addition to the Existing -25% Minion Damage Summon Nerf

The summoner nerf is a great way to make Summoner it's own class by punishing the player for using weapons with other class' damage. However, there's no reason not to use summon weapons as a mage, ranger, rogue, or warrior aside from the pierce I-frames some summons apply, which just makes it into more of a side class for those classes. Classless armor and multi-class armor does encourage multi-class usage, though, and the Old One's Army is built around the usage of the various sentry summons you get from the tavernkeep, so it wouldn't make sense to apply there.

Enable the player to rechallenge Skeletron faster.

If you fail Skeletron you have to wait until 6:30 AM for the Old Man to respawn and then wait again until 7:30 PM to fight him at night.

similarly to the Cultists, or an item can be added to summon him.

Make adrenaline, rage and stealth bars have more stable behaviour when dragged across the screen

I have noticed that the various bars work in a way that if your mouse is clicked inside them, they get dragged around the screen, but I think thats a bad idea because: 1. If you start holding the mouse on one bar and move over to another, both get dragged and its an odd behaviour, and 2. if you move too quickly they get left behind. I dont know if microsoft xna supports mouseClicked and mouseReleased as separate things, but yeah, I think the bars should follow the mouse when you click inside them, and stop when released inside them, that I think would make a more stable behaviour.

Buff the defense of the melee version of hydrothermic.

The melee version of hydrothermic armor has 59 defense. This is less than both versions of beetle armor, as well as turtle armor. Keep in mind that the beetle scale mail is supposed to be a damage specialist armor. Giving this helmet more defense would increase its viability and give more purpose, allowing it to be a more generalist armor compared to the specialized beetle armors.

Make more blocks blend with abyss blocks

For builders, the abyss is a pain to work through, and if you want to make more with it, you have to use only the 4 or 5 blocks they give you to make it look good, but frankly that just makes it boring.

Having blocks that blend with the abyss would make it a lot better to build in.

Rework reaver armor.

Reaver armor is at a very odd spot in progression, a pretty generic set placed in an area of progression where all classes but melee have great options, and where all classes except rogue and melee have a good variety of options. This armor is heavily overshadowed by other armors. The ranger variant is weaker than shroomite in terms of overall dps, although it does negate the need to switch helmets. The mage version is overshadowed by brimflame in terms of dps and lacks the utility of the spectre set. It is better against large targets than both of them, however. The summoner variant is simply sad, with a measly 2 minion slots and 30% increased damage, along with a relatively weak minion. The rogue variant is simply destroyed by umbraphile in terms of dps, due to umbraphile's incredible effect on enemy hit vs reaver's weak set bonus.

Not only is this armor overshadowed in most cases, it's also not needed for most of the classes. This armor acts as a generic armor, with well-rounded offense and defense. However, most classes already have an option like this post-plantera. Ranger has shroomite, mage has the spectre mask, summoner has spooky, rogue has umbraphile. There's simply no need for another generic set.

Give Tiki armor its own unique niche.

Fathom swarmer and tiki armor are both tanky summon armor sets in almost the same point in progression. Swarmer has weak minion slot stats but good defense and dr, tiki has low summon damage stats but gives high defense, life regen, and dr with leaf wings. Because these armors share the same niche, having both of them is kind of redundant. To make them less redundant, give tiki its own unique purpose, separate from simply being a more tanky summoner set.

Add Earth Elemental to Heart of the Elements

Currently the only thing the Earth Elemental is useful for after mechs are arid artifacts. Adding a drop similar to the other elemental drops to add to the Heart of the Elements would increase the usefulness of this enemy. It doesn't even get buffed at any point of the game unlike the Brimstone Elemental & Cloud Elemental post Providence. Even the Sand Elemental has a big purpose with forbidden fragments. The Earth Elemental just isn't useful at any stage of the game. An idea for the Earth Elemental's purpose in the Heart of the Elements could be similar to the rare Sand Elemental, where instead of damaging enemies it periodically gives you either a defense boost or a DR boost. This could seriously help summoners, as they are mainly the class that doesn't disable visibility of the HoTE, by making them less squishy and give them a little more survivability.

Remove the fluff from armor crafting recipes.

Armor crafting recipes seem to have a lot of things stuffed into them just because they match the theme/look of the armor. For example, the recipe for daedalus armor has crystal shards in it, reaver armor uses jungle spores, and astral armor requires meteorite. These additions to the armors simply aren't needed, since the bars you craft these items with already cover the theming and appearance departments. All these additions do is waste the player's time by making them get some old crafting material. Since these materials are easy to get, this also doesn't add much difficulty in getting the armor either, it just makes it take slightly longer.

Make the boss rush curses less obscure

Currently the boss rush curses are all the way at the bottom of the config menu and are almost never used. Having a way to see them when using terminus would allow them to be less obscure. One such way is having the tool tip mention the configs. Another is having a gui pop up to select curses.

Make the Metal Detector locate Shrines

As it stands, the shrines have some very neat items; however, it's incredibly unlikely that you'll find them all in a single playthrough. If you give them a unique chest type however, and then set the priority to maximum for the Metal Detector, you're more likely to actually find them and be able to use these items. It would also give a small additional reward in the form of the chest itself, which would presumably be something rare that didn't normally generate in the world, like the Stratus Chest.
This change would have the added benefit of giving a use to the metal detector, which is currently rather worthless by virtue of not having anything worth detecting.

Natural Gameplay for Spawning Bosses

Currently, the only bosses that have natural spawning gameplay are Providence, The sentinels, The Polterghast, Astrum Deus, The Siren, Old Duke, The Aquatic scourge, and the Evil biome duo. Since every boss in Vanilla Terraria has one of these, it makes a lot more sense for Every Calamity boss to have one. No easy spawns though, It should still be viable to just craft the summon and use it, so there should be some Difficulty in getting these natural spawns.
Clarification for what this means: Natural Spawning Gameplay is any spawning mechanism that leads the player to the boss. For example, Interacting with the altar at the end of the Jungle temple after looting it will spawn Golem, but that still counts because the player will 99% of the time have looted the temple, and have a power cell in their inventory. An example for the mod: A Structure could spawn in the underworld that would be blocked off until you had a post-ML pickaxe. Inside would be the profaned core. If you tried to take it, the Guardians would spawn and try to kill you.

Rework the set bonus for the daedalus armor ranged variant.

Currently, the daedalus ranged armor's set bonus gives 5% increased damage and causes you to release crystal shards that do 27 damage on hit. Not only is this effect impractical, considering you have to be hit by an enemies melee attack to get some reward from it, its damage is also very low considering it's an effect that activates when you get hit. Reworking this set bonus to be something useful would make it much more valueble.

Add more dialogue to the Guide after defeating Moon Lord.

Calamity has an abundance of post-Moon Lord content, but to a new player, there is very little information to go off of within the game alone aside from status messages and a handful of new enemies spawning. The Guide has new dialogue throughout the entire game up until this point, which makes his title completely meaningless. Adding more dialogue would help out new players and keep the Guide relevant throughout the game.

Increase the chances of fishing up essence fish in their respective biomes

For an alternative method to obtaining essences, fishing up grab bag essence fish is hugely ineffective compared to simply farming enemies. Even with the Mechanics Rod, a Supreme Tackle Box, and Master Bait, I couldn’t fish up a single essence fish in their respective biomes. In fact, when I was fishing for essence of sunlight, I found 4 sky crates and zero sunbeam fish in the ten minutes I was fishing. And even if players waited it out patiently for these fish, they’d be hard pressed to find that for the time wasted fishing, their reward is a measly 5-10 essence of the respective biome. Players could farm enemies for 3 times that amount for the exact time spent fishing for it. So, by boosting catch rates significantly, players could actually use this method of farming essence.

Remove Exo Freeze

Exo Freeze is an endgame player-inflicted debuff that doesn't present anything new, affect gameplay in any way, has no reason to exist, and shouldn't exist in the first place. Exo Freeze is... another lesser-known freeze debuff, but what causes it to have less value than others is that most weapons that inflict it will also inflict Glacial State for a longer duration. "But less enemies are immune to Exo Freeze than <Frozen/Glacial State>" doesn't matter either because: (a.) Enemies that aren't immune will die before the freeze becomes significant due to the stage of the game, and (b.) If significant enemies are actually immune to it then the whole thing would be a mess and a balance headache.

Overall, Exo Freeze is basically a useless debuff that not many know or care about, and could be removed from the mod entirely.

Allow some enemies and Boss Rush bosses to be inflicted with Betsy's Curse

Rework the Blood Pact to not be actively detrimental to all styles of play

The blood pact currently is almost useless, and only exists as a meme item that is used to jebait players and craft the COTBG. It's purpose is to be a tank item, yet it makes tanks less survivable by giving them a not insignificant chance to just lose all their health for absolutely no reason, and the 2x max health doesn't help because it makes potions completely useless because even the best potion in the game doesn't even heal a quarter of your health.

Make Elemental Mix a separate debuff from its current conglomerate parts and change its effects on enemies.

Elemental mix is bad. Not only does it take up 4 of the 5 enemy buff slots when applied at all, it only does meagre damage to foes and hinders foes defense and movement. It's an all-rounder debuff set, but it isn't an effective one, especially since the 4 debuff slots it takes up could be given to more powerful debuffs like daybroken, nightwither, and defense-crushing afflictions. First and foremost, Elemental mix needs to be changed to only take up one debuff slot, as it basically eats up all the space for interesting debuff mixes.
As for changing it into a better debuff overall, a general buff to it's effects would be workable, but debuffs in general do not serve much help in a fight unless they delete defense. i think giving it a similar use to oiled would be interesting, allowing it to improve the effects of the other 4 debuffs applied to the enemy. This could be a good step in the direction of making debuffs better utilities, rather than weak DoTs that improve your DPS by miniscule amounts.

**Buff necro armor.**

Necro armor is currently a downgrade of the ranger aerospec variant. The aerospec armor has 2 more defense, immunity to fall damage, a faster falling speed, and an on-hit effect. The necro armors' only advantage is 7% more ranged damage, but this is nullified by aerospecs 7% greater crit. To give a reason to use necro, make the armor set gives better damage boosts. This would make getting this armor worthwhile, and would also give the player a choice between the special defense abilities of aerospec and the damage of necro.

** Make debuffs inflicted on enemies more interesting.**

Most debuffs in calamity are fairly boring. Do some DoT, decrease some defense or other stats, and maybe throw those two ideas together. Considering so many weapons and accessories inflict them, it's kinda odd that they're such a boring part of gameplay. To make them more interesting, make them more unique and noticeable. Some ideas for making DoTs more interesting include making fire effects do more DoT over time, making enemies that are on fire spawn sparks that deal damage, and making electric debuffs jump between enemies. These are just some ideas, but they show that debuffs can be more interesting.

**Improve minions from armor set bonuses.**

Many summoner armors include free unique minions as part of the set bonus. However, these minions are often disappointing due to being underwhelming and/or boring. Many minions from set bonuses are just standard minions, like the mechworm from the god slayer set bonus or the shellfish from the mollusk armor set bonus. Other minions behave incredibly similar to other summons, such as the statigel set bonus summon, which behaves like any other slime, and the silva armor set bonus, which behaves like the rainbow crystal staff. In addition, these minions often prove to be very ineffective. For example, the polterghast mines from the bloodflare set bonus are very difficult to land and have lackluster reward, and the set bonus mechworm struggles to hit yharon. The weakness of the minions makes the summoner helmet variants of calamity in hardmode nigh-useless compared to stronger specialized options. Making most or all minions from set bonuses unique and improving their functionality would make the armors the minions come from feel more unique and be more useful as well.

***Nerf the health of Tier 1 and 2 Acid Rain enemies***

Reason for this suggestion: With the sheer amount of enemies in the event and the tankiness of them, the event starts to feel a bit sluggish as you'll have to spend a lot of time on just killing one enemy.
Take for example the Skyfin. This ordinary enemy spawns in the event post-Eye and has 150 HP in Normal Mode. Compare this to the Goblin Warrior, a tank-type enemy that spawns in the Goblin Invasion, which has 110 HP in Normal Mode. The Skyfin having more health makes no sense, seeing as it's a more mobile enemy and that the Warrior is designed to be more tanky yet isn't.
For another example, let's take the Orthocera, another normal enemy which spawns in the Acid Rain after you've beaten the Aquatic Scourge. In Normal Mode this enemy has 605 HP in Tier 2, while for example a Hell Armored Bones, which spawns after beating Plantera, has a maximum of 500 HP in Normal Mode. Again, why does a much more mobile enemy that additionally has projectiles, making it harder to deal with already, have more health than a Fighter AI enemy that spawns later in the game?
I would say something about Tier 3 enemies, but it's harder to gauge comparatively how much health they have, seeing as there aren't that many other enemies or events at their tier they can be put up against.
Nerfing the health of the Acid Rain enemies would make the event more fun as you would fight more varied enemies instead of having to focus on one enemy for an unnecessary amount of time, and would make farming for drops from the event less annoying.

**Change the Large Slimes spawn position in the Slime God fight**

Actually, Large Slimes in the Slime God fight spawn in the Left and Right sides from the player, but there's a catch, do have a fixed spawn position. The reason why this happens is because they spawn of the sides of the player, the problem is when there's a tile that isn’t a platform/variants of platforms, SG Larger Slimes will not spawn, but if there’s a gap between 6-12 tiles (theory), they will spawn.

"But if there’s a gap between 6-12 tiles (theory), they will spawn."
There are 2 variants of these, the first one is they will spawn both in the sides, like in the normal fight. The second it’s a bit complicated, they will spawn, but one will spawn depending on what side the player is from the platform: for example, player is on the extreme left side of the tiles, only the right SG Larger Slime will spawn correctly, and the other will spawn below the platform and spawning in the "ground". (ground: means the tiles that are below the platform, for instance, this bug happens because the player is too high from the ground or there isn’t a tile for SG Larger Slimes spawn.)

Reason why this needs to be fixed: this needs to be fixed because players can cheese by using Slime God’s spawn on space or in a high platform.

Solution for this bug: The solution can be this: make both Larger Slimes spawn with the core so the core can spawn with the 2 Larger to prevent players to “cheese” Slime God’s Core.

Give summoner minions better range/speed/targeting

Many of the summoners minions (Mostly vanilla) suffer from various issues when if comes to boss fighting, During a boss fight the player and boss are moving about so fast that minions spend half their time chasing bosses or playing catch-up to the player so they'll reset and start attacking again, I see the Xeno Staff as a weapon that could be better if it wasn't trying to catch-up to the player constantly instead of being locked on and attacking.
As an example I tried a DaD run as only a summoner...The greatest threats to a summoner so far is Slime God, PBG, Duke Fishron and Deus, These bosses are so fast that minions just miss or play catch-up constantly, Dukes phase3 is excruciating to do as summoner since minions can't lock onto something dashing about that fast plus it's constantly teleporting stops summons in their tracks.

**Add ways to improve your villagers' hp, defense, and possibly attack**

One thing that is irritating me recently is how outrageously fragile and helpless my villagers are. As the game progresses, enemies are getting statistical upgrades, while the villagers remain static in all stats. This leads to situations where I'm chilling in my home base, I look away for a second to get a drink of water, and I look back and a stray wraith has cleaned out half my villagers. I really don't want to have to keep them in special prisons that'll keep them safe from all outside dangers, like an overprotective guardian. If there were a way to improve them that'd be nice. I suppose having them upgrade themselves automatically as the game progresses would be the easiest and most painless way of going about it, but it can be an item that does it, or paying them directly to level them up individually. I'd simply like them to not be the victim of stray slimes that find their way in occasionally.
(as a side note: Cirrus is super extremely overpowered. Just as an experiment, I contrived a way to get her into the middle of my arena, and I had her solo Death Mode Skeletron Prime. She obliterated it quickly and easily while I kited it around her. I assume that this isn't the intended way to progress through Death Mode.)

**Increase the speed of the minions summoned by the calamari's lament and the ethereal subjugator for DoG**

When trying to fight dog, these 2 summons can sometimes struggle to hit DoG's head and end up hitting the body segments, this heavily stalls the fight especially in death mode as dog is incredibly fast during the entire fight. This would mean the only viable summons are cosmilamp, elemental axe (which does better than cosmilamp) and sirus

Note: When the summons actually land hits on dog's head they can deal massive damage, this would obviously be very overpowered if it always landed head/tail hits, to compensate this DoG would resist these attacks similar to Old Duke.

Right now Yharon's 2nd fight just feels Unnecessary. You literally just fought him, but you had to go beat up the same event you've done a million times before he would actually fight you. Moving his first fight to the same tier as providence would lead to some amount of tension as you slowly pull your weight and Get to fight his final form after taking down DoG and Provi. The same things that were done to Birb would have to be done here, and Buffed Solar Eclipse would probably either have to be moved to post-DoG or post-Yharon 2.

**Make it easier to gain Proficiency in Post ML.**

Reduce the number gap in between levels 10 and 15. OR
Increase the proficiency gain.

For most of pre-hardmode and hardmode, proficiency is generally quite well-paced and the goal of reaching level 10 prof is quite attainable for all classes without grinding, with summoner capable of reaching level 10 pre-plant.

However, the remaining 5 levels that you have to hit is simply too huge a gap. Most of Post-ML progression goes by relatively fast, and players cannot be expected to hit the same amount of prof in the previous 2 stages of their journey. I feel that the end goal of proficiency is to reward the player for sticking to 1 specific class, but that reward fails to materialise in Post ML.

**Rework the Terra Ray and Elemental Ray because they are both carbon copies of the night's ray/carnage ray with no new effects.**

For being an upgrade to two powerful mage weapons, the Terra Ray currently lacks the ability to show that its a powerful, destructive weapon as it functions exactly the same as its crafting material (nights/carnage ray) Even when upgraded with the power of the four celestial elements, it still functions the same as it’s pre-hardmode predecessor. With the inclusion of the Valkyrie Ray in the Terra Ray’s crafting recipe, it would disappointing for a player who expected that the Terra Ray out preforms it’s predecessors in power and uniqueness to find its nothing more than a green reskin of what they used to make the weapon. And when the player gets to Post-ML, they’d be even further disappointed to find that this powerful weapon is no different than the one they crafted after killing The Slime God. It would be nice to maybe see at least the combination of a green Valkyrie Ray beam and the night’s ray splitting green lighting bolts to the weapon, and then an big enhancement of that attack once it’s crafted into the Elemental Ray. (Think along the lines of Crystalline’s progression, as each version gets flashier and more destructive with each upgrade.)

**Add More Content to the Sentry Summoner Subclass Post-Moonlord**

Sentry summoner is an option from very early prehardmode all the way until moonlord, typically by way of the Old One's Army and the Tavernkeep. However, after moonlord, the Old One's Army stops getting stronger, there are no more sentry armors, and only five sentry summons. Sentry Summoner is generally a different experience, supporting multi-class play much more and requiring you to manage your summons. If need be, the final tier of Old One's Army (and all the loot associated with it) could just be moved to later post-moonlord and just be buffed.
Ideally, sentry summoner would get a lot more than that, but I'm not a dev, and this is just a suggestion.

**Improve Sea King Amidias' help option to give more lore and function better as an in-game Boss Checklist**

Currently Sea King Amidias acts as the NPC to talk to in this regard, the only problem being that he's very lacking. He neglects to tell the player about many bosses, leaving the player to either wonder what to do, or to use an outside source like Boss Checklist or the Wiki. Specifically, he doesn't mention both Astrum bosses, both Scourges (The ones you'd think he'd be the most knowledgeable about), the Non-Brimstone elementals (minibosses to be sure, but bosses), The Siren and Leviathan, the Ravager, and the various events like Martian Madness; plus some others that I'm probably forgetting myself. There's a massive amount of content in Calamity. Currently, any player wanting to learn about these bosses/events needs to stumble over them by accident, or resort to the boss checklist mod or dive into the wiki.
The purpose of the addition is to safeguard against the necessity of needing a supplementary mod like Boss Checklist or requiring the wiki to know what's going on or what the player should be doing. It'd make the mod more complete, in that way.

So I always thought it was kinda weird that this type of Slime never got any attention after the King Slime fight, so I came up with the idea that when the player reaches Hardmode, Spiked Blue Slimes would spawn naturally in the purity biome along with the other Slimes, this is to add more challenge to Slime encounters since now you have to keep a safe distance or face serious damage, even if they are easy to kill, it still adds another threat to watch out for, since it IS hardmode after all, plus it gives them another purpose than just being a Boss Minion, similar to the Servants of Cthulhu, which are the Minion of The Eye of Cthulhu.

**Make Plaguebringer Goliath's projectile attacks glow, specifically the stinger attacks**

With the dark green shader applied to the screen and the background turning black during the fight (if you fight underground, like how the new changelog seems to be enforcing, it's still pretty dark most of the time), a lot of PBG's projectiles are difficult to make out in an already chaotic fight. This especially applies to the stingers - while everything it uses has a dark color palette (which is fine), the stingers are very small compared to the other projectiles, and them being homing on most difficulties makes not being able to see them all the more punishing. It's never fun to get randomly hit by tiny, homing projectiles that you can't even see.
I would suggest making them emit light (similar to her rocket attacks) so that you can at least see them coming. I also feel that making the mines/homing missiles emit a little more light would also be nice, but that's far less urgent in my eyes since they're already large enough to see relatively clearly. In my eyes, being able to see the stingers would make the fight a lot more convenient, without subtracting from the difficulty (hard-to-see projectiles are more of a form of "fake difficulty" if anything).

**Distribute the stats from the astral armor set bonus among the armor pieces.**

Astral armor currently gives most of its stats from the set bonus. This is inconsistent with other armor sets, as most sets generally give most of the stats in the armor pieces themselves. The lack of stat from the armor also makes it seem much worse than it actually is, which could lead to players simply never using it because it seems so weak. Having the set bonus give stats is also uneccesary, since astral armor already has a unique set bonus, with the stars falling on crits. It seems like the only purpose of putting these stats on the set bonus is to force you to use the full set by making the using individual pieces useless. This is uneccesarily limiting to the player. If the player wants to mix armor pieces, why should this armor stop the player from playing how they want? Using mixed sets encourages research and creativity, so giving them this option is a good thing.

**Add a Consumable, "Revival Item" for Multiplayer Hardcore**

As Multiplayer Hardcore (or Iron Heart, which I hear is getting reworked, so if permadeath still applies, then this suggestion applies to it, too) runs don't get played enough, and as most of them end early when only one person is left, I thought of maybe introducing revival items that are tiered from PreHM, to Post-ML, with each tier only working in it's phase, AKA, prehm in prehm, so on and so forth, This would bring more attention to Hardcore Multiplayer runs, as those dont usually end well. A good way of balancing this would be to make it difficult to craft, consumable, implement PERMANENT health caps or reduced max health, for both the reviver and the revivee, limiting whether or not they should revive a friend or to choose to remove them from a run. This would mean picking wisely from the players based on their level of skill, knowing they're worth keeping or not, as both parties are affected by this item. This would bring more attention to the multiplayer aspect of the mod and by extension it's replayability as a hardcore, yet enjoyable experience. Yes, this was inspired by Don't Starve Together, and I've suggested this to Thorium before, but they told me that you guys might like this suggestion more than they did.

Also in the same vein adding a way for people to see new sprites and actually really see what new and changed items are able to do. In addition this would encourage the wiki to be kept up to date and allow for less confusion when new players come to the mod and find items in game without a wiki page, as I did somewhat frequently when I started playing.

Buffing it after skeletron would make it more interesting, it would also hint that the slime god should be fought at that stage, and it would make sense since it would be similar to other things, like when you kill moonlord, the hallowed and underworld start spawning new enemies related to providence, so the slime rain could be like that and after skeletron start spawning more commonly and also spawn blight slimes, to give materials for slime god summon, and even spawn the slime god itself, just like king slime spawns when a certain amount of slimes get killed during the event.

**Retool the Ancient Crusher into a Sturdy Fossil set hammer (and rebalance it accordingly).**

❔
This weapon isn't really particularly interesting or impressive combat-wise, and it's certainly not one that a lot of people seem to like or care about. Normally, the solution would be to buff or rework it and leave it at that, but given its appearance and general theme, it seems like it may be more appropriate to instead move such a mighty-looking hammer earlier in the game. Placing the Ancient Crusher much earlier would most likely give it much more use as a weapon, given the fact that it fires no projectiles and only in the earliest stages of the game are bosses designed with actual melee weapons in mind at all, and may give people much more of a reason to care about it.

(Obligatory follow-up because I know someone'll ask about it: Evil Smasher can drop from Tomb Crawlers or Antlions or something.)

**make rage charge while staying still with a hotkey**

Rage is odd, because it rewards the player by taking damage, and this doesnt make too much sense next to adrenaline, rewarding for no-hitting a boss, and rage is hard to get without dying (specially early game). So I suggest that rage changes, and that it should charge in a way that rewards from taking a risk, which would be the risk of staying still. So by pressing a hotkey (only works while a boss is active), rage charges (and stops when hotkey is released), but the player cannot move (it doesnt freeze in place, but rather is unable to use the movement keys, including hooks, and doesnt charge if the player has any velocity). So while this is charging the player cannot move, taking a risk of dying. This would make it so that rage has a stragic use, So the player has to decide if it should be able to move, or charge rage and not move. rogue stealth would charge at the same rate of moving, not the still rate, and this would behave exactly in the same way as adrenaline in that it discharges for some time, increasing damage.

Currently the boss rush curses are tucked all the way at the bottom of the config menu and are often neglected.

Additionally, any rocks in that world will be updated with the curses the player did the boss rush with to make the rock more of a trophy as it is supposed to be and to make something that the player can show for beating the boss rush with curses on.

**Make it so the Last Prism, Yharim's Crystal and Dark Spark beams don't despawn upon contact with Storm Weaver's body and Sepulcher**

Currently, when hit with the beams from the weapons above, said mobs will despawn the beams. This is from the way that Sepulcher and Storm Waver despawn piercing projectiles in order to prevent the bosses from being killed in an unintended fashion, even without despawning the beams, it's still extremely hard to kill them due to the bosses having insane DR and defense. This causes the visuals of the weapons to be messed up due to the weird number of beams being fired. Aside from visuals, this can be really annoying in battle as the Crystal and Last Prism rely on having a 'full beam' to deal damage. When a beam despawns, the damage of the 'full beam' is also reduced quite significantly. This means that the weapon needs to be re-casted, wasting time and providing the boss with more time to kill you. By removing this, it won't be as much of a pain to hit Storm Weaver's tail or the Brimstone Hearts.

**Rework Some of The Town NPCs To Be More Helpful In Both Selling Items and Fighting**

One thing that always bugged me about any Terraria Mod was that the Town NPCs are always weak and couldn’t defend themselves, and also, especially in calamity mod, Mid Hardmode onward is where you tend to not need them anymore, so I suggest they be reworked to where some of them (such as the merchant and arms dealer) can sell more items the further you are in the game’s progression, and also up their damage output and defense further so that they can actually defend themselves. Another thing that could help is the increase in both Max health and attack range, that way some NPCs like the merchant and guide won’t die so easily when fighting and NPCs like the arms dealer and demolitionist can do longer ranged attacks. In closing, the town NPCs are in desperate need of a buff so that they can stay useful especially in late game. Hope this suffices, have a nice day everyone!

**Give the stats from the astral armor set bonus to the armor pieces.**

Astral armor currently gives most of its damage stats in the set bonus. This is inconsistent with other armor sets, as most sets generally give most of the stats in the armor pieces themselves. The lack of stats from the armor also makes it seem much worse than it actually is, which could discourage the use of it by newer players. Having the set bonus give stats is also unnecessary, since astral armor already has a unique set bonus, with stars falling on crits. It seems like the only purpose of putting these stats on the set bonus is to force you to use the full set by making the using individual pieces almost useless. If a player wants to use mixed sets, this limits the player's ability to play the game how they want too. Allowing for mixed sets to be more viable not only gives the players more options in terms of armor, but it also allows them to make the type of armor they want to have to play the game how they want. For example, valhalla knight's breastplate can be used for defense players, forbidden greaves can be used for mix sets that buff minion stats, and OOA armor pieces allow for mixed sentry/normal playstyles.

**Make Pets/Light Pets/Heart of the Elements Summons/Summons/Mounts/Summon armor set bonuses not take up buff slots**

Currently I have had to stop using all of these in the late game of every playthrough because

If I get debuffed by a boss, in addition to the boss zen buff, I am in danger of overloading buffs, which are potions that I farmed for, some of which require insane amounts of materials to craft. Loosing a fifty blood orb potion because I wanted to keep my cute pets out during a boss fight should not be a thing.
Being unable to use my mount, to the point where trying to in moments where I don't realize I have one too many buffs/debuffs removes acceleration, or magically removes the rest of my flight time with no benefit makes using a mount an inherently bad play.
The only class that suffers from loosing TWO buff slots to their own weapon/playstyle is the summoner class. Why?
Heart of the Elements is such a nice thing to have during boss battles, but taking up a buff slot means it acts very strangely when overloaded, and has crashed several of my multiplayer servers because hundreds of copies of them were created, to the point where we have banned players from using HotE in its visible form

**Add a Sound Effect For the Blood Frenzy buff of the Bloodflare Armor, and a hit counter if possible**

I've advanced far enough into the game to get the melee version of the Bloodflare Armor, and it's cool. You get a Blood Frenzy buff after landing 15 true melee hits, and that's nice... except it's hard to tell when you have it. If you're paying attention, the little buff pops up in the corner, and you glow a little bit I think. In the middle of an intense fight, that can be hard to notice, so I was thinking it'd be nice if it made a sound effect to let you know that you're in blood frenzy mode. Also, it'd be nice if there were a hit counter of some kind to let you know how close you are to it, since it'd be nice to know how close you are to proc'ing Blood Frenzy, for example, like with another status icon that counts up with each true melee hit, and expires after 10 seconds or so. It doesn't have to be that, that's just my initial idea. I think it'd be a nice change that'd allow players to really take advantage of their armor set bonus.

**Add craftable permanent versions of boss spawners that have nerfed/no rewards on boss kill**

One of the biggest flaws I see in Calamity is that there are so many different item options that ironically I feel discouraged to experiment, because the investment cost in time to make new gear (which you haven't adjusted to yet and will generally need multiple copies of the boss spawning item to get your practice in with) is a huge investment in time that may not even pay off. With bosses IMO being the far and away best content in Calamity I personally would rather struggle with old gear or steal someone else's build idea rather then first putting (generally quite a bit) of effort into making/farming the item, then farming materials for spawners on attempts I know I will die to because I'm not accustomed to the gear and normal content is not a good indicator of the gear's power. I understand that the majority of the annoyance comes from the cost and time commitment of making the gear but I don't see a good way to get around that. With permeant boss spawners already being in the game for some of the most difficult fights, I feel like this would be one of the quickest and easiest ways to at least alleviate some of the burden of experimentation.

Add a new screen tint when the musical tracks shift in the supreme calamitas fight

When trying to convey a change of mood/pace in a boss fight like Scal’s, changes in visual and auditory environments are by far the best way to show it. As it stands, the boss fight stays in its usual, red-tinted armageddon kind of feel. The tracks that play tell a kind of story behind the bullet hell on the screen, and I think that could be helped with a change of visuals, since the music is already changing, i.e. “grief” could have a bluish tinge, and “epiphany” could have an orange one (based off of DM DOKURO’s Stained, Brutal Calamity music video)

**Extend Ravager’s fade-in timer and make it spawn on the side of the player.**

Reason: Currently the beginning of the Ravager’s fight is rather unenjoyable mainly because of how he spawns when the player is using the Ancient Medallion. Upon spawning, the Ravager spawns on top of your character which gives you close to no time to dodge before it does its first attack with its claws, resulting into a cheap hit taken by either its claws or its body. Basically, what I am suggesting is that extending the Ravager’s fade-in timer to around 1.5 seconds and making it so that it spawns on the player's side instead of on top of the player will certainly make the fight slightly less frustrating and more fair towards the player since there will be no more cheap hits to worry about with this small change.

(Specifically while a boss is alive) In multiplayer, if a player were to die during a boss fight, the player’s teammates could keep the fight going for just long enough that if they were to die, someone else would respawn and take their place. This ends up feeling like a cheesy strategy in higher difficulties such as death mode, so increasing the length of time before respawning from 30 seconds to around 45s - one minute (rev and death respectively) could prevent boss fights from dragging on in this way.
Additionally, to avoid having to wait an extra 45 seconds after a boss has despawned, the respawn timer could be automatically set to 5 seconds after a boss has successfully despawned.

**Remove contact damage from the True Eyes of Cthulhu**

The True Eyes current function is mainly to use their projectiles attacks to attack the player. The main reason the player would ever take contact damage from them is because they randomly ram the player when repositioning for their next attack. Removing the contact damage would eliminate possible cheap deaths from the ramming as well as from when the True Eyes spawn.

**Remove Clonamitas' splitting lasers and add a variety of spells which she can use during the actual fight (i.e. after the fakeout) as part of her attack pattern.**

(Ideally, her brothers could be given spells as well, but that's a topic for another time, methinks.)

❔
As of right now, Clonamitas is not a particularly memorable fight --- her movement and attack pattern both heavily mimic that of Retinazer with very little actually setting her apart, and her brothers aren't exactly terribly interesting either with both taking quite a few pages out of Spazmatism's book. Given the fact that the Twins are literally part of the tier right before Clonamitas, this isn't really healthy for the fight both in terms of teaching the player and in terms of engaging the player. Going off of what we know about the wicked witch of brimstone, we can only assume that she possesses a huge arsenal of spells with which to obliterate her enemies...so would it not make sense, then, to give Clonamitas spells of a similar nature? Introducing a variety of new, more fitting attacks to spice up the fight (and removing the splitting lasers, which arguably do not fit thematically at all) would help to set Clonamitas further apart from the other opponents at her tier and provide a lot more opportunity for the fight to become more interesting to the common player.

**With bosses in multi-player, make it target players that have not died yet. and once every player dies once, the boss despawns.**

In multiplayer, people can just keep respawning until the boss dies (except in iron heart). I feel like this is almost cheating, cheesing your way to victory. A solution would be to have the boss target the players who haven't died yet, and maybe have the players who died deal like a 1/3 less damage, and have attacks against those player deal double damage, but continuing as if the player wasn't there. This would allow players who have died to still play and feel helpful, but doesn't allow for as effective cheesing, since the players who haven't died should be taking most of the hits, and be actually fighting the boss. When all players died once, the boss would despawn, and hopefully stopping the cheese.

**Make it so that Prioritizing an Enemy with a Summoner Staff Makes the Summon(s) Only Ever Attack the Prioritized Enemy and Doesn't Return to the Player**

Summoner is a great 'utility' class almost, as it lets you focus on other things while your minions take care of any enemies. However, it suffers somewhat in actual combat because it's very difficult to get your summons to do what you want them to. Managing your summons is a large part of summoner, but the prioritization feature just doesn't feel that impactful, so much so that it's almost impossible to notice unless you look it up on the wiki. Summons often just get distracted by other enemies or the prioritized enemy is just a bit too far away. If summons completely ignored other enemies while prioritizing one, didn't come back to the player, and did nothing but try to attack that enemy while prioritized, it would partially fix the control problems that summoner has and allow for a more direct impact on what your summons do, which is very helpful for things like the Moon Lord fight.

Stealth right now is almost fundamentally flawed, as it's essentially just a yes or no question. Either waiting for stealth strikes is going to deal more damage, or it won't. Most of the time, the extra amount of damage it deals is barely more than just spamming, so it's almost never worth going for. Making it so the player would just gain stealth whenever they have a chance to stay still and then get rewarded with a high-damage stealth strike once they fill the bar would make the mechanic a lot more dynamic overall and add more reward to the risk/reward.
Also, for those wondering about the Sylvian Slasher, I don't see why having the inability to perform a stealth strike and not consuming stealth wouldn't be irrelevant.

**Buff Blissful Bombardier and heavily buff dazzling stabber staff**

The Blissful bombardier is relatively underpowered and is only really useful at taking down void because of the aoe and armoured storm weaver because it aims at the tail. Other than that this weapon is almost useless and the dazzling stabber staff is way more dissapointing, doing very little dmg, bad aim and being very slow. There are 0 situations u can use this weapon post moonlord. These 2 are very bad weapons compared to stuff obtained at similar stages and even stages prior.

I suggest a dmg buff to the bombardier but dazzling stabber needs a complete change from what it currently does.

i tried some dmg tests with the blissful bombardier and dazzling stabber staff(no adrenaline), bombardier took 4 minutes to kill weaver with 10k dps in 2nd form. elemental blaster took like 2-3 with an average of 15k dps. other ranged weapons were around 12k. void was actually quite nice killing it in about 2 minutes. other ranged weapons didnt do so well except seadragon which reached similar dmg and time. signus was also meh, blaster took like 1m 45, while bombardier finished at like 2 minutes 10 seconds.

dazzling stabber staff however really sucks. i only recorded dmg instead of time and god it was bad it barely hit storm weaver reaching only 8k dps, axe on the other hand reached between 15-20k dps on weaver 2nd form. axe did way better against all 3 sentinels, dagger does like 8k if and only if it can hit cause it misses a lot, 2k dps on signus while axes reach 5 to 6k and plague jets reach even up to 12k.

**Make stealth recharge rate for rogue not based on movement, only time from last attack**

I've been playing with the Rogue improvements mod, and I've found it's the only way one can actually get use out of stealth with the class. It removes the requirement of standing still in order to have the max stealth charge rate (It also makes stealth strikes stronger, but I think starting with making the recharge rate constant and fast enough to use while still allowing dodging would be best). Having to stand still in order to charge stealth at an efficient rate feels bad, but simply holding on to your attack for 3 seconds in order to charge up an ultra powerful stealth strike with bonus effects is the way to go.

Often I take 150+ damage before realizing that I am taking it at all, and that is not counting the fact that I have to take the time to return, as it most likely occurs when she is stationary. So having a simple ring of outwards-floating particles (not like the true eyes from fargo, but similar) would give me good visibilty when I hit that limit.

**Amplify Calamity stat bonuses of hover wings whenever the player is hovering.**

Currently Calamity only adds 1 pair hovering wings out of 9 basic ones, Hadarian Wings. Hover is an interesting mechanic for wings, allowing you to lock your altitude at will in exchange of faster horizontal movement midair, which is usable in quite a lot of cases. To make hover a bit more entertaining in the mod, it would be nice for hover wings to have amplified stat bonuses while hover is active.

For example, Vortex Booster grants 3% increased ranged damage and 7% increased ranged critical strike while wearing Vortex Armor. When the player is hovering with the Booster, one of the bonuses can be amplified during hover, say its damage bonus.

It would make hovering a lot more useful all around, considering its rare occurrence amongst wings.

**Remove Calamity's current confusing "diminishing returns" DR system and instead make all of Calamity's DR effects multiplicative.**

For example, if one effect reduces damage taken by 10%, the next effect in the calculation chain then reduces the remaining 90% of that damage rather than the base number.

❔
Tanking in Calamity has historically been an all-or-nothing deal. You either spec into it 100% and take virtually no damage thanks to regen out the ass and defense + DR stacking, or you only have some of it and it really doesn't matter because the damage you take is perpetually hella high anyway, particularly in the later parts of the game. Additionally, the current system often means that any DR-increasing items don't actually give the damage reduction they claim to, which can greatly confuse newer players. A change like this would effectively solve both of these problems at least to a point, making damage reduction in particular most effective to gather when only a few effects are used and ensuring that DR-related promises on item tooltips aren't misleading to the player.

"But Thomas, how will I explain this new system to the player? Aren't these new multiplicative setups still confusing?"
I'm glad you thought about asking.
X% increased damage reduction
becomes
Reduces damage taken by X%; this effect is multiplicative
This is MUCH easier to explain to the player than a formula which really requires looking at the wiki to understand as it's much harder to express in-game. It's simpler, easier to comprehend for the player, and easier to manage for the devs. Eveybody wins..

Daedalus armor is a generic armor option for all classes which is obtained after defeating cryogen, the first Hardmode boss. However, a generic armor option simply isn’t needed for all classes except for summoner and rogue. This is due to the ore armor sets that are in a similar place in progression. Adamantite and titanium (due to the nerf) act as generic options for all three classes, as does hallowed armor, obtained only a little bit further on in progression. Another generic ore armor simply isn’t needed. To solve this issue, give Daedalus it’s own specialization so that it’s a more distinct armor, or drop it for the classes that don’t need it. Possible niches include movement and glass cannon, as palladium covers survivability.

**Make Rage increase with attacks from all classes within a certain distance**

Even though Rage can be used by all classes, it's mostly available to Melee, since you mainly increase Rage with melee strikes (unless you have the Heart of Darkness, but it'd be nice to be able to have Rage be viable without taking up one or more accessory slots). Since mid-to-late game, Rage increases by about 10 per melee strike, you could make attacks within a 5 block radius increase rage by 6, and attacks within a 10 block radius increase rage by 3, for example. Rage is an interesting mechanic that rewards you for getting up close and personal, and works as a good counterpart to Adrenaline, but I feel it would be better for Rage to be useful for all classes. I still think it should be more powerful for melee- since they're attacking from close range and are dealing true melee strikes, they will get a bonus of 3 to 6 to the Rage meter. I feel this is a good compromise- all classes will be rewarded for either dodging more and attacking from afar, or staying nearby, taking hits, and dishing out heavy damage. However, since melee is generally a bit weaker than other classes, and it's hard for melee to obtain adrenaline, they get a minor increase to how quickly their Rage meter will fill up.

**Add some hardmode vertical movement alternatives to wings**

Reason: The bundle of balloons is the only accessory alternate to wings when it comes to vertical movement, yet it’s obtainable pre-hardmode. This makes vertical movement rather stale in hardmode as your only real option is wings, especially with the other buffs calamity gives to wings on top of their superior movement. Despite adding pre-hardmode wings I don't feel like they're imbalanced due to the other great options added by calamity, such as the snow ruffian glide, sulphurous armor double jump or the statigel increased height + double jump, so it would be nice to see the same breadth of options in hardmode.

The problem is exacerbated with the defiled rune activated, which I know is supposed to act as a challenge but still doesn't escape the lack of options given to players. Perhaps if there were more options available more people would see a defiled run as a serious, appealing mode rather than purely a challenge run and nothing else.

(Now I know we're not supposed to make specific suggestions but I simply can't stop myself from bringing up how cool it would be to combine the elementals with double jump accessories, such as eye of the storm + cloud in a bottle/balloon or pearl of enthralment + tsunami in a bottle/sharkron balloon).

My suggestion is to make it work similarly to the Heart of the Elements, where if you toggle the visibility you get a little boost to your stats but effectively lose some of the extra damage you could get from the split effect of the Elemental Quiver.

**Make Golem's head not hurt you 3 seconds after detaching**

You get basically hurt if you are standing to his left after head detaches, this can lead to very cheap hits (and deaths if arma is on) due to his head ramming you at insane speeds to position itself. This would make the fight more fair and not having to be in certain positions to not get hit.

the modded experience was always about looking forward new content to explore, to keep the flame going and one great of a fuel is mixing and matching mods together to get a very VERY long and fun playthroughs.
for the longest times Calamity had so many balancing issues regarding vanilla, as the mod grew bigger and bigger it had a huge influence over your modded playthrough, and it become almost mandatory to make changes to the core game to keep calamity from collapsing on itself. well many may disagree with these changes; example: any softcap EVER, i think they should be kept and made toggleable for the appeal to everyone.

**Underground Astral Infection needs more reasons to be explored**

the only things I can think of at the back of my head were Hive Pod, Astralachnea Staff and Starbuster Core each having a 14.29% chance to be dropped by 3 respective enemies in the Astral Infection after defeating Astrum Aureus. There are ONLY 3 types of enemies in the Underground Astral Infection and they are pretty easy to kill nonetheless, making it no challenge to get the weapons mentioned above and overall really underwhelming. Underground Astral Infection could need a little more reasons to explore around, maybe a mini event or more variety of enemies that could use some inspiration from normal underground enemies.

__**Add a config to switch between difficulty modes being toggleable/craftable and being one-use like they were before**__

This would give players a fail safe for if they wanna go through with a playthrough on a particular difficulty, but don't trust themselves not to back out immediately when the going gets tough. Rather than simply clicking an item and being done with it, this would make the process of trying to turn these modes off into a long and arduous one, forcing them to think it through on whether they really wanna give up or not. Given how long mods take to load, this simple change would definitely give them enough to to do that.

Edit: Arma and Defiled have QoL uses in addition to their challenge potential. They could be given a separate toggle to allow them to be used this way without sacrificing the commitment to a certain main difficulty. Iron Heart could be thrown in with either set or even given it's own toggle depending on how it functions in the new update.

**Add more to the Brimstone Crag, and make it generate under the Abyss.**

The reason that I'm suggesting this is that the Brimstone Crag has very little reason to visit multiple times, as it doesn't stretch very far in any world and the only real reason to be there is for essences of chaos, which can be farmed exceptionally quickly on any one visit with a zerg potion and a chaos candle (at the time essences of chaos become a necessity, these are available), meaning that you never need to make many trips there regardless. However, perhaps it could function similarly to the Abyss, if it were to stretch out further towards the edge of the underworld and become more and more dangerous as it went on, having better and better items and materials, but stronger enemies would start spawning and perhaps there would be environmental hazards to stop any player from cheesing the enemies. Additionally, if it were to generate under the Abyss, players would find it extremely difficult to mine straight to the edge of of the Crag, at least without a tier of equipment needed to traverse to the bottom of the Abyss. This way, the Brimstone Crag could become a far more relevant and interesting area, rather than just being a patch of the underworld with some more shadow chests, charred ore and an optional boss.

**Make Lore Items a toggleable ability rather than an item that you have to hold**

I understand that the lore items being actual items is perhaps a counter to their potentially 'overpowered effects' but I think a lot of their effects would be good to toggle off and on for convenience sake ie: being able to toggle whether or not cysts/voodoo demons spawn in their respective biomes rather than having to reach into a piggy bank and use up an inventory slot in your probably already full inventory for the corruption/underworld lore.

Also since you have to beat bosses to even get these lore items, you have already earned the skill, and most of these skills come with drawbacks to having them on already, so making them not take up inventory space to me would be more quality of life than cheesing the game. Perhaps by having the same original lore item drop from the boss but then having it be a consumable that grants you the ability to toggle the ability of said lore item on and off afterwards

Fighting Hive Mind or Perforators is a giant hassle before you ever beaten them, due to the nature of naturally spawning cysts. Forcing a boss spawn with naturally spawning mobs before beating them is generally a bad idea, as it can make the attempts a lot more tedious than needed.

Replacing one of the materials of their summon items would make attempts and farming these two bosses a lot more convenient and easier if you haven't beaten them. The only boss I've seen them done like this is Polterghast, and it's a pretty good idea in my opinion.

While star based weapons in calamity arent also the most represented, they upgrade continuously throughout the game with star cannon ex > starfleet > starmada making them more unique, fallen stars are also used more instead of just ammo to make man stars and other mana consumables.

**Remove Rage/Adrenaline buff indicators.**

Right now, when you activate rage/adrenaline, they have their own buffs which pop up on your buff bar. However, this is problematic/not ideal for a couple reasons.

Firstly: with the amount of buff potions that Calamity adds, combined with the extra stationary buff items such as Drunk Princess' candles, plus taking into account things like mount, summon and armor set bonus buffs as well as boss debuffs, it's likely that a player will reach/get very close to max buff count. This means that using rage/adrenaline will delete some of your buffs, which is obviously not ideal.

The other reason is that they are redundant to the rage/adrenaline meters. The meters have their own sounds that play when they are full/when they are being used, which means that the player should always know when they have these buffs active/ready to be used anyways. Plus, they're easier to see than a small buff icon, which means that these buff icons are redundant because the rage/adrenaline meters serve the exact same purpose and are easier to find during a fight.

Essentially, for these reasons the rage/adrenaline buff indicators should be removed in favor of just using the rage/adrenaline meters.

Perhaps, it could be reworked into a consumable item that gives you an aura around you, similar to the wulfrum pylon's aura, that supercharges nearby wulfrum enemies for a short amount of time. Currently, the only way to get energy cores (an essential ingredient in wulfrum armor) is by going all the way to the forests on the outside edges of the world. And on large worlds, doing this can actually be harder than just doing Desert Scourge and making victide armor. As such, there should be a way to get energy cores without doing this, to make getting wulfrum armor viable.||

**Buff/rework the Bloom Stone to make it more useful...and move it to Plantera's drop pool.**

❔
The Bloom Stone, as a semi-rare drop from the Plaguebringer Goliath, has always been somewhat underwhelming.
It has an aura of damage that nobody actually uses because you don't use the Bloom Stone by itself (and also because you can literally just use a summon and get basically the same effect but better), and the arbitrary 3% damage bonus it gives is basically worthless thanks to the already disgustingly-high damage bonuses on every other piece of gear at that tier. The ability to grow random dye plants on grassless dirt and flowers basically everywhere else (for bait) is really the only thing the Bloom Stone has ever been legitimately useful for ||(and even then, the newly added Plaguebringer armor set, specifically the shoes of said set, do this exact thing and more for basically no higher cost)||.
With virtually all of its niches being rendered obsolete by other effects around the same tier, most people would just recommend a straight buff and leave it at that. However, logically speaking, it may be worthwhile to also consider moving it to Plantera's drop pool, allowing it to be used a bit earlier on and thus perhaps be a bit more useful even in its current state, along with such a change being thematically appropriate.

Right now, Vital Jelly grants 20% increased movement speed and 24% increased jump speed, while the Aero Stone grants 10% increased movement speed and 20% jump speed. Aero Stone also gives a 3% boost to all damage, which is incredibly insignificant due to the low base damage of early game weapons and overall not worth having over the better mobility stats of Vital Jelly. When comparing the two, Aero Stone is a ~10% drop from DS, while Vital Jelly is a drop from a pre-boss enemy. Aero Stone should be overall the better of the two since it’s a rare boss drop. Solutions of this would be to buff Aero Stone’s mobility boosts, nerf Vital Jelly’s mobility boosts, or buff Aero Stone’s damage to be of a significant amount.

Multiplying Treasure Bags would be a much better reward for Defiled Rune, since the difficulty only really matters in boss fights, and other conditions, like farming enemies or events, aren't much affected by the difficulty change provided by Defiled Rune. The difficulty's effects may need to be adjusted a bit so it's more detrimental against Pre-HM bosses, where wings don't exist most of the time.

Having much better chance of getting a Legendary item would be a good reward for mastering bosses by no-hitting them, which is what Armageddon challenged you with. This change needs to come with a change in how Legendary items drop: Make them all drop from the boss themselves instead of their bags to avoid players cheesing the legendary drop boost with Treasure Bags.

Of course, this for balancing reasons, but it would seem odd to have it not actually require anything from hardmode - adding additional crafting ingredients (cursed flames/ichor, and/or souls of night) would make it feel more like a hardmode recipe to fit the crafting station.

**Remove Chaos State's hardcap, but make it damage the player for 1/3 of their HP when they force a teleport**

Reason: The hardcap completely restricts the player from using RoD when Chaos State is active. Although this is arguably understandable for having the RoD balanced during bossfights, this also restricts people from simply expediting their movement in some circumstances. Examples include: During exploring and farming. In my opinion, the hardcap during these instances is more of an annoyance than a balance feature.

To make it fair, I propose to have Chaos State hurt the player for a third of their HP while keeping its 10-second duration. The punishment would maintain the impression that the debuff is an authoritative limitation, but at the same time would give people the freedom to force a teleport should they think it's a fair trade for the punishment they would get.

For example, during bossfights, the punishment will make forced teleports a last resort, only to be used during circumstances where dodging is impossible/tanking an attack will result in death.
When exploring around, players who want to travel more quickly would be able to, albeit costing them some of their HP.

||**Change the summon damage penalty from the current 50% to the former 25%.**||

||The current summon damage penalty is too high, as it makes trying to multiclass with summoner cripple your dps, making multiclassing impossible for summoners. The former summon damage penalty allowed you to use other class weapons if you desired, but also gave you good reason to go only minions. In fact, due to the damage penalty combined with the reward for holding summoners weapons, it was considered optimal to not use off-class weapons. In addition, the current penalty makes many armors, such as astral armor and the old ones army's armors, much worse by making their minion boosts insiginificant if you use other weaponry. It also makes the old one's army event incredibly difficult as non-summoner, due to your sentries being incredibly weak.||

**Optimise Providence's HolyBlast Projectiles to have better visuals**

When a holyblast touches a tile or dies out, it pops out of existence, leaving a few other, much much smaller projectiles.
In my opinion, this is kind of anticlimactic, since the huge fireball is absolutely massive in size, yet when it dies the combined quantity of fire it's projectiles spawn is way lesser than the one of the HolyBlast.

So, i suggest granting it visuals to tell the eye where all that flame went, what i have in mind is an explosion of big fire particles, so it's not as anticlimactic, maybe also decrease the size of the HolyBlast, so we have less mass to have to work with after the projectile is dead

At it's current state the projectile feels kind of akward to watch, so i feel like applying theese modifications to it is necessary to make it appear more realistic and polished

**Remove Ancient Bone Dust.**

❔
This material effectively does nothing that Bones cannot, aside from creating Calcium Potions, which completely invalidate several other later item effects anyway for no good reason (shoutout to Lucky Horseshoe becoming effectively worthless). It seems to just be a material that’s there for the sake of being there --- removing it would alleviate at least a small portion of the material bloat that currently plagues Calamity.

As an aside, since they're the one thing keeping this mat in the game right now, Calcium Potions can take something else, really, such as Bones. Alternatively, they can just be removed. It's all too easy to get a Lucky Horseshoe or similar nowadays. Everything else would just have the mat removed from its recipe.

After playing around with the summoner class in calamity I found the viability of summoner early game to be staggering and it being surprisingly fun to watch summons tear apart enemies, however I always found myself and some friends using other weapons to feel like I was actually doing something other then dodging. Adding more summon damage non-minion type weapons that either boost minion damage or the players own movement speed/damage on hit, would make summoner a more fun class to play due to the offensive playstyle that terraria offers with other classes which is generally more engaging then the less fun dodging/defending playstyles that summoner usually occupies.

*Buff The Community to be a more noticeable improvement post-Yharon (at it's peak) over the Heart of the Elements*

The community is a legendary all around stat boost and the heart is a pre-ML accesory which has summons (comparison won't include them). This comparison is between a pre-ML accessory that doesn't scale and a pre-ML accessory that should scale to post-Yharon. If you disable the summons the stat boosts of the heart outbeats the community in multiple areas, however they are small differences usually, such as damage on comm at 9.5% and hote at 10%. On top of that the heart gives jump speed which post-moon lord is basically what you want. The few benefits the community have are -15% dot, life regen, crit chance, flight time and max life. However, the fact is has so little improvements post-yharon over a pre-ML accessory feels disappointing. The worst community boost by far is the minion knockback, its useless and I recommend changing it to something else, maybe jump speed or another more important stat, then also buff some of the stats 1% or 2% to just slightly beat out hote.

**Non-summon class armor should inflict minion damage penalty, along with the current system of holding a non-summon weapon.**

Currently the minion damage penalty hurts summoners who use non-summon weapons more than (assumptively intended) non-summoners that take advantage of minions. The way the suggestion would work is that the minion damage penalty won't be applied if the player at least has a summon armor headpiece equipped. Multiclass / global armors (like early game ore armors or Omega Blue) won't be affected by this change.

This method of applying minion damage penalty and the current one (holding a non-summon weapon) can share the penalty's current value (50% as of 1.4.5), so that it'd be more punishing to use non-summon weapons and armor at the same time. This change is primarily intended for the minion damage penalty to affect non-summoners more than summoners themselves, as they already lack the bonuses to boost non-summon weapons.

**Add more class specific pre-hardmode armor sets**

In vanilla, the game saves the class specific armor sets until hardmode. I think it is a good idea to have more helmet-variant sets early in the game, however, having each class have a unique armor set adds a feeling of uniqueness and fun to the game. There are already multiple rogue-exclusive armor sets and a single ranged armor set in pre-hardmode, and it would make sense to include other classes in that repertoire.

I feel like modded items should generally incentivize being used over vanilla things of the same tier, else having that item in the mod would feel pointless. Overall, the vanilla armors are great, but having more modded armors for all classes would round out the early game so much more and make it more fun and unique to play.

Add a new reaction for moderators in #suggestions_posting to indicate that a suggestion has a problem and the suggester has been pinged about it.

My candidate: ❗

This would allow mods to communicate easier with one another, even asynchronously, that the suggestion's problem is waiting on the suggester's end and is not a result of moderator laziness or miscommunication. It would ensure that problematic suggs get dealt with more efficiently, as any questionable suggestion without the reaction is prime material for pinging.

This would also serve to communicate that a suggestion has a problem and should not be approved, as opposed to a valid suggestion that was simply forgotten about and slipped into almost getting auto-deleted. This reaction would help differentiate between valid ready-for-approval suggestions and unfixed potentially-invalid suggestions.

Additionally, it could serve as an indicator to the poster of the suggestion that they should check their pings if they see the reaction on their suggestion, and show that the suggestion was not simply left in the channel to give time for feedback.

(And uhh also this reaction will make it so that I don't need to keep asking if suggs are valid every hour, because I'll know they're fine if they have no reaction. ~~Please, I'm exhausted, help~~)

Lastly, this reaction could tie into the functionality of the bot. Suggestions with the reaction could be auto-deleted after 24 hours like normal, but suggs without the reaction (i.e. valid) could be immune to auto-deletion or even get auto-approved, so they never accidentally die from moderator negligence.

**Make the sand from deathmode antlions, or maybe even all antlions not place**

Currently as it stands, antlions in deathmode aren't a big of a threat and them shooting tons of sand is fine, however, this sand is placed down which means early in the game when you cannot kill antlions fast enough, they can cover your arena in sand which takes a while to remove. Even in hardmode grinding in sandstorms for elementals in a bottle these pesky antlions will cover your arena up in sand. Having the sand not be placed would allow early game players to build desert scourge arenas with less pain and allow hardmode players to grind for elementals in a bottle without having to worry about sand.

One way this could be done is making death antlions shoot 1 placeable sand ball and then the others don't place.

**Give Influx Waver a buff**

The logic behind this suggestion is simple. In vanilla Terraria, Terra Blade and Influx Waver are compared as being neck and neck despite IW being post-Golem as opposed to TB's post-Mechs, yes? Well even with Terra Blade being moved to post-Plant in Calamity, there's usually a massive boost in power between the two tiers in Calamity. But yet, Influx Waver still does the same amount of damage as Terra Blade. It is also massively outclassed by other weapons of this tier, so as such it should get a rather significant damage buff, or should be buffed in some other manner.
Tests against PBG and Fishron respectively: (tested until after using first adren for all weps with same loadout):
Influx Waver: 83%, 71.4%
Subduction Slicer: 78.7%, 62.1%
Fallen Paladin's Hammer: 78.8%, 51.4%

Currently, demonshade armor is the only post supreme calamitas armor, although it only has one helmet. It does have a pool of stat bonuses for all classes, but in some circumstances, it is inferior to auric tesla, as auric tesla provides class specific helmets. My suggestion is to balance this armor a little more by giving it the class specific helmets that other helmets have, so that it IS the best armor in the game, and so that one class doesn't get unnecessary bonuses that they are never going to use, making it superior to auric tesla in more ways. Perhaps auric tesla armor could also be included in the crafting recipe. In conclusion, giving demonshade armor different headpieces would help with a large array of things.

**reduce entropy's vigil minion i-frames a bit and increase the minion's movement speed of the entropy's vigil and optic staff**

optic staff got a buff that reduced iframes for slightly lower damage to compensate and it reached 2000 dps with armour and accessories obtainable pre mech bosses, when i got entropy's vigil it reached 1.3k dps and had similar issues being it barely hits fast moving enemy's/bosses. The reason for the reduction in i-frames is so that entropy's vigil can be superior to the optic staff as it is considered an indirect upgrade to it. And the reason for the minion speed buff is so that both of them can be viable for bosses, especially for optic staff so it can be used on bosses like aquatic scourge, destroyer and prime.

Currently, sky mills sells for 2 gold. But with such a cheap recipe (50 stone, 2 star, 25 cloud & 15 rain cloud can make 5 sky mills which sells for 10 gold), the sell price seems way too high and would just make obtaining money overly simple.

**Add Melee Specific Armour Set(s)**

As of today, there are no armour sets completely specific to melee added by the mod. This means the melee player has a rather narrow path of armours which are viable for use, as many vanilla melee sets are somewhat underpowered or impractical when compared to the 'general use' calamity ones (e.g Daedalus or Hydrothermic). Adding specific armour sets would allow for more differentiations in playstyles, as the other classes already have (e.g adding an armour set which gives larger buffs to dps and has a triggerable set bonus but is more lacking in defence / damage reduction or vice versa).

**Make it so that deathmode eye of cthulhu and twins arent just *start in final phase and enter subphase 4* and *start at phase 2, enter phase 3 at 50%***

Eye of cthulhu and twins in death mode arent necassarily bad but i do think there should be a little more variety in the fight, eye of cthulhu just does the same 3 attacks being align with the player while summoning servants that basically dont do anything, charging horizontally and finally does its infamous chain dash attack, thats it. For the entire fight its just rinse and repeat making the fight insanely repetitive.

Twins enter phase 2 immediatly and dont really gain anything noticable changes besides spazmatism's shadowflame thrower. When they enter half health they begin phase 3 where both of them start to become more passive i guess u can say where retinazer starts dashing long distances while firing homing lasers and spazmatism starts using eye of cthulhu's chain dash while breathing homing fireballs and thats the 2nd part of the fight all the way until one dies and the other enrages where the other twin becomes much more relentless which is the only good part about the fight imo.

These bosses are just way too repetitive and should have something more to make the fight less of just sTaRts figHt iN fInAl fOrm AnD thAts It

**Buff/slightly rework bloodstained glove and its upgrades**

The bloodstained glove heals 1 hp heal per stealth strike which even in pre-hardmode doesn't offer nearly the best heal you could be getting. What could be done is buff the healing that it gives or, what I found more interesting, it could give the player a buff after each stealth strike such as increased damage, defense, or regen for a short amount of time. This would not only make it worth using and more unique but would also make the inherited effect from the bloodstained glove be usable by its upgrades such as the nanotech which atm doesn't really gain anything from the bloodstained glove beside a 1 hp heal which really doesnt do anything post moonlord.

**Make an upgrade to the Zerg Potion**

While I understand that the zerg potion is already an upgrade to the battle potion, I feel like zerg just isn't enough. I want something chaotic, but not just for fun. Let's say I want to farm blood orbs and my only problem is not killing the enemies fast enough, but not enough enemies spawning. It would be amazing to have an onslaught of enemies attacking, and it would mostly be used for farming. Need to get shells for absorber? It took me a while when it really shouldn't. If we had a zerg upgrade, than farming would be both funner and more efficient. Of course, this wouldn't be useful for people who just killed DOG looking for seasonal energy because there would be too many buffed creatures, but if it's an event that they've already beat ages ago, then it would come in handy. It took me 4 goblin invasions just to get the first shadowflame (I was pre-ML). Bored once you've defeated the game? Why not use this zerg upgrade to taste the chaos of late game events? It would make the mod better overall by decreasing the "grind" factor nobody likes. While you might say that they have to earn these farmable things by using their time, it's only boring, and reducing the time spent farming has no negatives. Remember, this isn't just an increase for drop chances, but it provides a challenge too, your screen would be full of enemies, which means you have fun and get your desired item quicker.

Add a harpoon that fishes instantly

I know I'm kinda taking this idea from fortnite, but having something that instantly fishes up stuff rather than having to wait would be a nice quality of life item for fishing. You could add multiple harpoons with varying fishing power that catch better loot as the game progresses. The best justification I can give for this would be that this would make things a lot easier for everyone and would add more variety to a mechanic that has basically been the same since forever.
This sounds like it would be clearly superior to fishing rods, so the harpoon could be made consumable with only a certain number of uses when you craft it (20 ish sounds good). Another thing you could do is make harpoons have slightly lower fishing power than the fishing rods obtainable at the same point.

It's neat having a pet like the Ocean Spirit around.... if you're in water of course... and there isn't exactly many light pets that are cute like the Ocean Spirit "When it's awake" ... Problem is just for this one quality of life pet that looks much better than all the other ones in game IMO ... you are required to take a 8 defense penalty... Im sure most people would enjoy the pet much more if you didn't need to make the unnecessary cut to defense... and for sure enjoy it a lot more than a giant glowing eyeball or a simple ball of fire... So all i'm asking is... either remove the penalty of the Leviathan lore or change it to something less detrimental like health regain... OR... add another item that can be favorited into inventory that just makes the pet awake and move normally

**Simplify the set bonuses for calamity armors.**

Calamity armors often have very complex and long-winded set bonuses, especially post-moon lord. This leads to the armors being less memorable, and makes it harder for the player to judge how good they are. Armors are most memorable when they have a single simple set bonus, instead of many smaller abilties, as the inclusion of multiple abilties makes the individual abilities feel insginificant. Having complicated set bonuses also makes it harder for players to judge how good an armor is, an they have many more factors to take into account. This problem is caused by two things, having stats in set bonuses for little reason, and by simply having too many boosts in the set bonus.

**Rework auric armor.**

Auric armor currently simply combines the set bonuses of prior armors, adding very little of its own. This results in an armor that is overcomplicated and boring. Having the set bonuses of 4 armors, all of which have multiple components in their set bonuses, results in an armor that is incredibly confusing and hard to judge. The direct taking of set bonuses also makes auric much less memorable, as it offers nothing that you haven't seen already. The sheer number of set bonuses also serves to drag this armor down, as it has so many that bonuses that you don't notice any of the individual ones. To make this armor better, change it so it takes ideas from the previous armors while not directly copying the set bonuses.

**Change the Stat Meter & Level Meters so they can work like Informational Accessories.**

I'm unsure if this is a limitation with modding or not, but basically my suggestion is to make the info that comes from the tooltips of the Stat Meter & each Level Meter show without requiring you to mouse over the item in your inventory akin to the PDA and sub-crafts. That way you won't need to constantly look into your inventory to see that info, especially if you don't use autopause / are in the middle of a fight.
For the Stat Meter in particular, due to the large amount of info represented, the toggle options when in your inventory will be broken into 3 different toggles: Offensive Stats, Defensive Stats, and Mobility/Misc Stats.
Offensive: Class Damage/Crit Chance, Velocity, Minion Slots, Adrenaline Charge Time, Rage Damage Boost, Armor Piercing
Defensive: Defense, DR %, Life Regeneration, Stealth/Stealth Regen
Mobility/Misc: Wing Flight Time, Jump Speed Boost, Movement Speed Boost, Abyss/Cave Light Strength

Then you can mouse over the bar if you want to see the specific proficiency amount of the current level out of the required amount for the next level. Basically think of it as an exp bar so to speak, with it showcasing current/total required when moused over.

Again, if my math is correct, that's 6.67 minutes of just extractinating for parts that you likely already have an abundance of and money. To me, that seems excessive.

Currently, the highest damage dot debuff (at least according to the wiki it's really hard to test in game) is Demon Flames, which does 1250 dps on enemies after Supreme Calamitas.

It would make sense if the price of the Gel Darts was changed to be about as expensive (approximately 90 copper to 1 silver per dart).

**Change certain wing buffs to better fit progression.**

I enjoy the balance of wing time versus the buffs they give.

For example, Demon Wings give a 10% damage increase and a 10% crit chance increase, and are some of the worst wings mobility-wise, while Solar Wings are some of the better wings mobility-wise, but only grant a 7% melee damage increase and 3% melee crit chance increase.

However, some wings just don't make much sense with their buffs.

Frozen Wings, which are obtainable before any hardmode boss, and have some of the best flight time of their progression point, only have a 2% melee and ranged damage increase, and a 1% melee and ranged crit change. I feel this is a bit low, even for these wings.
A few possible changes:

Buff the damage and crit chance the Frost Wings provide (slightly, probably not more than 5% for either).
Make melee and ranged strikes inflict Chilled, which decreases movement speed of enemies (may be too good in many situations).
Combine the two effects above (and nerf or buff as needed).

Bone Wings make even less sense. They are post-Plantera wings obtained by farming in the Dungeon, and they give the following buffs:
15% increased movement speed, 12% increased ranged damage, 16% increased ranged crit chance, and +30 defense.
Sounds great, right?
All those buffs should make this a great set of wings, but there's a catch- all those buffs apply only when wearing Necro armor. A post-Plantera wing set buffing a pre-hardmode ranger set doesn't make much sense to me at all.

A few possible changes:

Make attacks with Bone Wings on inflict a debuff similar to Broken Armor (but that possibly reduced defense less, since the 50% reduction of Broken Armor may be a bit OP).
Make buffs to ranger (or any class) as a whole, instead of one far-outdated set.
Combine the two effects above (and nerf or buff as needed).

Move fathom swarmer armor to post Aquatic scourge.

Fathom swarmer armor is at a place in progression where it is not needed and where it is outclassed by other armors. Fathom swarmer acts as a tanky summoner armor, giving high def and some dr, with a more minor role as an utility armor for abyss exploration. Tiki armor, obtained one boss later, also acts as an tanky armor, giving large boosts to defensive stats if you wear it with tiki wings. However, tiki is simply better than fathom swarmer. They give similar minion damage buffs, but tiki gives 2 more max minions. Defensively, tiki gains 18 defense from its bonus with wings, giving it 53 defense vs swarmer’s 47, tiki gives 10% dr vs fathom swarmers 12, but tiki also gives 3hp/sec life regen. Buffing swarmer might simply make tiki useless, so it’s better to move it away from this point in progression. Making it post aquatic scourge is a good choice, as it is thematically appropriate due to as being an ocean-themed boss. It would provide a tanky armor for summoners while allowing spider to remain viable as a damage focused alternative.

Bloodstone which is a post Providence material has a sell price of 60 silver; that is lower than plaguecell canisters, unholy essence, divine geodes, and phantoplasm which all have a sell price of 1 gold or higher. Bloodstone should have a higher sell price since it is obtained later than these four materials.

**Buff Blood Clot Staff**

Currently the Seabound Staff is significantly better than the Blood Clot Staff and gotten much earlier in progress making the Blood Clot Staff as it is right now not a viable alternative. The AI it has does not make up for it as of right now even though it is better at some things than the Seabound Staff; I would say if the AI was made more aggressive in staying ON the enemy ignoring range once it gets an enemy or they were longer range like the Luxor's Gift summon then I feel like it'd be a viable side-grade.

**Give Summoner its own unique modifiers.**

Right now, summoner is the only class without its own modifiers, instead using Mage's. The best modifier for Summoner currently is Ruthless, which nearly every weapon can receive.

Melee has Legendary, Savage, Dangerous...
Ranger has Unreal, Sighted, Staunch...
Mage has Mythical, Masterful, Mystic...
Rogue has Flawless, Lethal, Feathered...

I feel like new, unique modifiers for Summoner could help to bring that tiny bit more life to the class. The stat changes these modifiers bring should include:

Damage (of course), but a bit higher than the other classes' equal modifiers, since the Summoner crit chance cannot be edited by modifiers, so extra damage could help to compensate.
Knockback
Mana Cost (for spamming and quickly summoning sentries and minions)
Speed (for the same reasons as Mana Cost)
Size *maybe* (could help dashing/ramming minions that sometimes miss, as this could slightly expand their hitbox and make them hit slightly more)

This would help make Summoner that bit more unique, similarly to Rogue's new bonuses.

**Add crafting recipes for the regular mimic drops, cross necklace star cloak etc.**

Alright so mimics are a rare spawn already and in calamity in rev+ any sort of standard easy to setup mimic farm just doesn't work for them due to the ai changes. So you're stuck to wanderering about hoping for a mimic spawn and playing that long rng lottery for the drop you want. Adding some crafting recipes that are crafted at a hardmode anvil will help aliveate this grind as everyone needs these accesories in one way or another. They could be something reasonable, like the star cloak needing solar veil and fallen stars as an example. Or cross necklace needing a shark tooth necklace and souls of light as another, but their reasonable things you can get with some effort, but not the amount to get them as of right now.

Calamity is, at it's core, a mod about adding and expanding upon content.

**Remove or heavily retool the “Evil Island” that is currently created on worldgen.**

❔
I physically cannot explain this in full detail without passing the 2k char limit, so lemme give the abridged lowdown:
Both world evils being accessible as easily as just having a Grav Potion undermines the importance of the choice of world evil on world creation.
The major issues in this regard come from the immense amount of Demonite/Crimtane (and Ebonsand/Crimsand, if assuming thrown waters exist) on the island as well as the presence of the alternate Biome chest.
Removing or heavily reworking the island to make it not pathetically easy to use both evils in the same world would restore importance to the choice of world evil on world creation. And also maybe allow Scourge of the Corruptor to be made viable since it’d actually be able to stand without competing with Vampire Knives every step of the way.

Here’s a link to the more in-depth explanation if you want.

As of right now, skeletron prime in revengeance + is tanky, fast and relatively passive, he is only aggressive when he is spinning after all of his arms are killed and results in a pretty long fight and isnt very enjoyable as he doesnt do much most of the time. I think he should be less tanky in the first part of the fight to break the monotony. Phase 2 is much more enjoyable because he does actually try to ram you with his head rather than just wacking you with the arms for most of the fight and then occasionally firing some rockets from the head.

Increase armor variety post moon lord.

Right now the players options in terms of armor post moon lord are very limited. You have the 5 helmet armors of standard progression and only 3 armor sets outside of that. The helmet variants are also generally straight better than all the previous ones, with very few exceptions. The five helmet armors are understandably generalist, so it’s natural that they are upgrades. The three armors outside of standard progression are more interesting, but there aren’t enough of them currently, and 2 of them are class specific. The only classless armor, omega blue, is an interesting glass cannon armor that gets used up to auric because of how good it is at its role. The fact that this single armor makes progression so much more interesting shows that the addition of even a couple more armors would make progression so much more interesting.

**Allow the Dryad to sell Jungle Grass Seeds if she is housed in the jungle biome**

The other means of harvesting Jungle Grass Seeds takes too long at about a 1% chance (from the vanilla wiki on this), and to keep it consistent with other biomes that can be artificially made, the Dryad should sell the seeds in these following and plausible scenarios:

If she is in a Jungle Biome
If there is a specific non-Blood Moon event that may be going on (like she sells them during a Pirate Invasion only, for example)
She sells them at the beginning of hardmode just like her Hallowed Seeds.

Buff Dimensional Soul Artifact to ignore some enemy DR

In its current state, DSA is used very infrequently with a home only in extreme glass cannon setups. Even for mixed setups, DSA is still outclassed by Reaper Tooth Necklace for its armor penetration and RTN synergy with Core of the Blood God. As for defensively, DSA instills a steeper penalty over RTN, which makes it worth even less when compared.
Allowing DSA to ignore some enemy DR would separate it to stand out from RTN's shadow. It'd also form a nice dynamic between the two with RTN ignoring defense and DSA ignoring DR. In fact, enemy DR is in all modes now rather than just Rev+, so this function wouldn't be mode locked unlike a few updates ago.
It's kind of sad to see this top tier glass cannon accessory when it was first introduced fall to the wayside due to mechanic changes with the mod with not enough compensation in return.

**Change or Add Weapons that Synergize with Certain DoT Debuffs**

Damage over time debuffs inflicted upon enemies are pretty boring. They deal some damage after you hit the enemy and increase your damage output overall, but they'll never make much of a difference in playstyle since you're never going to stop hitting a boss unless it becomes invulnerable and they do too little damage to matter very much. Even if they were buffed to viability, they would still be binary and uninteresting--either you do it or you don't, and one is objectively better than the other. Contrasting this with a debuff like Ichor, which is widely used and utilized throughout a lot of hardmode (until bosses become immune to it), because inflicting the enemy with it makes your damage more efficient, so doing stuff like switching between weapons to re-inflict it is more efficient, which adds to the depth of the mechanic. This could also mean that certain weapons and armor sets would be more viable together--like if the Gacruxian Mollusk dealt more damage to enemies afflicted with Astral Infection.

**Remove the spin attack/wind-up effect from the Frequency Manipulator**

This aspect of the Frequency Manipulator makes no sense whatsoever: it only serves to extend the attack animation, as it's a rogue weapon, not a true melee one. Furthermore, the spin causes the weapon to have ridiculously low attack speed - even the tooltip refers to it as "snail speed". Compare with Desecrated Water, which has only slightly less damage but a (relatively) much faster speed, and doesn't need to be charged, either.

In short, removing this useless "wind-up" on the attack is all that is needed to make it a truly viable weapon, at least in my opinion, as otherwise it has good damage and homing projectiles.

**Adjust the rewards of extra difficulty modes.**

The new rewards would be changed to the following:

Iron Heart: Now boosts rare item drop chances and enemies drop 50% more cash.
Defiled Rune: Now multiplies Treasure Bags dropped from bosses.
Armageddon: Now significantly boosts Legendary item drop chances.

Currently, Iron Heart serves purely as a challenge, with no tangible rewards in store. This change would simply make Iron Heart at least worth to be looked upon, now that it's reworked and is an actually interesting challenge. Additionally, since Iron Heart affects yourself all the time instead of just against bosses, the new proposed reward would fit better than Defiled Rune (which currently has this reward), as it challenges the player on farming enemies or events.

Multiplying Treasure Bags would be a much better reward for Defiled Rune, since the difficulty only really matters in boss fights, and other conditions, like farming enemies or events, aren't much affected by the difficulty change provided by Defiled Rune. The difficulty's effects may need to be adjusted a bit so it's more detrimental against Pre-HM bosses, where wings don't exist most of the time.

Having much better chance of getting a Legendary item would be a good reward for mastering bosses by no-hitting them, which is what Armageddon challenged you with. This change needs to come with a change in how Legendary items drop: Make them all drop from the boss themselves instead of their bags to avoid players cheesing the legendary drop boost with Treasure Bags.

**Put a timer every time you switch difficulties. (rev, DR, death, armaggedon)**

This could reduce the grind by a lot, and why put a timer everytime when you switch difficulties? The answer is: to make players think about their decisions everytime they switch difficulty to do something.

Example: considering you can switch difficulties at any time
"Oh! I need to grind for Marrow because its too good, so I will activate DR to farm a little bit more, then I will switch it to get on Rev to avoid the Critical Hits and reduced wing time"
Now an example with a timer:
"Oh! I want to grind for Beam Sword to craft that weapon that I need, so I need to think; should I change difficulty for getting that item, it is worth doing it? If I activate DR, I wouldn't be able to switch difficulties again within a period of 1 terrarian day!
(1 Terrarian day equals to 24 minutes in real life)

Like said on the title, it could reduce grinding by a lot, and could make players make their decitions everytime they switch between ON difficulties. (If the difficulty is OFF, they can switch to ON, but with a timer of 24 minutes to switch again to OFF)

What time could you put on the timer?
1 Terrarian Day or simplified as 24 minutes in real life.
The timer will not be affected by Enchanted Sundial, or Cosmolight, so this would make players avoid the timer.

Players who do not realize that these two machines are actually functional will miss out entirely on the charge mechanic for the Draedon's Arsenal weapons, significantly lowering the effectiveness of the weapons.

**More effects/projectiles should qualify as a stealth strike impact for purposes of armor/accessories**

Some armors, such as Titan Heart, and accessories, such as Electrician's Glove, cause effects on the impact of a Stealth Strike. However, for most weapons, only the initial impact of the strike counts as it, which makes some weapons that have otherwise-good stealth strikes not perform as well with these accessories.

For example, compare the Spent Fuel Canister and Gacruxian Mollusk. The SFC's stealth strike leaves behind an irradiated cloud that deals rapid damage, in addition to the multiple hits of the main explosion - and each hit from both the cloud and the explosion count as stealth strike impacts, which makes using the SFC with stealth very good. On the other hand, the Mollusk's stealth strike leaves behind a trail of additional mollusks to home in on enemies; but only the first Mollusk counts as a stealth strike, apparently: if each mollusk (but not the sparks) counted as a stealth strike impact, the DPS increase of the stealth strike would be substantial, putting it a good level above just holding down the attack button.

This sort of change would make the stealth buff gimmick of these armors/accessories much more usable, and provide Stealth Rogue with more varied and/or viable options.

Adding an upgrade to the Elemental Blaster

The Elemental Blaster is an early post ML weapon that is a good choice for starting post ML mainly because of its easy crafting recipie and the fact it uses no ammo. The thing about the Elemental weapons is that all of them (but Elemental Blaster) get upgraded later in the mod (eg: Ark of the Elements to Ark of the Cosmos, Elemental Shiv to Cosmic Shiv just to name a few). So it would be a logical choice to have the Elemental Blaster get upgraded as if this were to become upgraded in the future, then ALL or the Elemental weapons would be part of a crafting tree for something much superior.

**Rebrand the Terra series of weapons/items.**

❔
These honestly aren’t particularly interesting and only really serve to undermine the special factor of the origin article (the Terra Blade). Making these items more unique in their own right would make them much more interesting to newer players rather than being the five millionth Terra set that people are probably bored of by now.

Remove terra edge or heavily rework it.

The terra edge is completely pointless in its current state. It’s entire thing is that it’s an inferior terra blade that inflicts ichor. Not only is this a very boring concept for a weapon, but it’s rather useless due to flasks and the caustic staff which also inflict the ichor debuff. It also has some weak healing on true melee hits, but this isn’t enough to make it good and is not unique, as many true melee weapons have lifesteal effects.

**Nerf or Completely Rework the Onyx Excavator**

This mount is essentially instant horizontal drill containment unit, but on steroids, it mines faster than almost anything in the entirety of the game, and what's worse is that it can be obtained pre-hardmode, theoretically on your first mining adventure. It completely breaks the entire flow of mining in the game as there's no point in caving for ores or exploring the caves because you can just strap yourself into your mount and blast horizontally for awhile, drop down using normal mining, and then repeat. This mount should not be obtainable this early in progression because it completely throws out early game to even late hardmode mining.

**Buff Shadethrower to better compete with the other weapons at its tier**

Reason: Shadethrower is a horrible weapon with many problems. On Queen Bee it gets only around 100 dps, dropping to around 40-60 while she's dashing, and for Skeletron's head it gets around 70-90 dps, and 140-150 dps when it's spinning. The range is pitiful, being the worst of all the options you have, making it risky to use despite having some of the worst dps for its tier. It has no advantages other than having good piercing, and even then you can use Galeforce or Molten Fury with Jester's Arrows which are better than Shadethrower in every way.

It's awful for Skeletron and Queen Bee and it's also horrible for anything else I can think of at its tier. It's bad for events mostly because of the terrible range, and also because it has to compete with Galeforce every step of the way, and even for just exploring Storm Surge heavily outclasses it because it pierces through tiles and has better dps and range. Comparing it to other weapons at its tier on Queen Bee and Skeletron, it did the worst by a mile.

Skeletron
Galeforce (Hellfire Arrows): 1:33, The Bee's Knees: 2:04, Eviscerator: 2:10, Storm Surge: 2:42, Shadethrower: 3:36

Queen Bee
Molten Fury (Hellfire Arrows): 1:06 (lol), Galeforce (Hellfire Arrows): 1:20, Eviscerator: 1:29, Dragoon Drizzlefish: 1:34, Storm Surge: 2:00, Shadethrower: 3:18

Gear setup was Aerospec armor, Bundle of Balloons, Frostspark Boots, Frog Leg, Counter Scarf, and Stress Pills with all Menacing. Buffs were Bounding, Rage, Wrath, Archery, and Swiftness.

TL;DR Shadethrower is awful because it has the worst damage output of any of the weapons at its tier, along with terrible overall usability. It definitely deserves a buff to compete with the other weapons and be a worthy option.

**Sentries sold by the Tavernkeep should be unaffected by the minion damage penalty during the Old One's Army event or while wearing any of the armor sets sold by the Tavernkeep.**

The entire point of the Tavernkeep sentries is that they CAN be used alongside another weapon during the Old One's Army, summoning damage or otherwise. Adding a penalty to the damage of them because you're using a different weapon goes against the whole point of them being in the game.

It makes the entire set of weapons useless for anyone who isn't going summoner, and it also makes the Tavernkeep armor sets useless ENTIRELY, since the minion damage provided by them is made useless.

Rework the old ones army event.

This event is far and away the most unique one, an organized wave based event with a tower defense element to it. However, it is held back by the need to grind, its difficulty, and the lack of reward. The main problem with this event is that you need to grind previous tiers to get on-tier gear to have a chance at winning. An easy solution to this is bumping up the defender medal drops from the event, and making more drop on earlier waves. This would allow people who skipped earlier tiers of the event to get on-tier gear much more easily. The defender medal costs could also be decreased as well. Another problem with this event is that you have to wait long periods of time between early waves. Giving the player the ability to skip this time would make the event much more fun. Finally, remove the summon damage penalty during the event. This would allow non summoners to deal good dps with their sentries, making the event feel much more fair. In addition, give tier one a reward beyond the metals, buff the tier 2 drops, and add rogue drops to make the event actually feel worth it for non-summoners.

Turn WoF, Plantera and Polterghast lore items into permanent power-ups

Lore items are toggleable bonuses because of their "but" nature which makes the player think where and when to activate them. "Increased item grab range", however, is an ideal candidate for a permanent power-up, like the Demon Heart and the Celestial Onion. The same reasoning can be applied to some other no-drawback lores like Queen Bee, Aureus and Deus, and IMO even the Normality Relocator, but the 3 listed in the header are the most obvious candidates for power-ups.

**Make traps scale based on progression.**

So like, everyone toys around with traps on basic farms but in the case of calamity in the biomes you'd want to setup a farm for/in with the mobs getting buffed (Such as Post DoG moon events for example) The stuff you setup way back then just doesn't work for clearing out the rabble like it used to. Making traps scale based on your progression would make farms actually useful instead of having to grind everything yourself. Personally I'd make trap damage stronger each time events get buffed and major game advancements. Like when you go from phm to hm or hm to pml. The other example would be a trap buff when you acid rain gets to t2, or when moon events and solar eclipse gets buffed respectively. Having this change would honestly make the auric grind fun, since the traps could actually pull their weight in the grind instead of you having to do everything.

**Make Supreme Calamitas not nerf your adrenaline**

I've noticed in the Supreme Calamitas battle my adrenaline charges much slower than it does for any other post Moon Lord boss. I realise this is to make the fight more challenging, but it doesn't make much sense. This is the final climactic battle of the game and if nothing else my adrenaline bar should be filling faster than usual. Also, I think having adrenaline charge up faster won't affect the fight much. Supreme Calamitas is very tanky and if you get hit by even one of her attacks you're in big trouble. She doesn't need the added adrenaline nerf to be hard and it's inconsistent with the other bosses

*make the leviathan more exciting/challenging to fight*

Leviathan isn’t necessarily an easy boss, but she definitely needs something more than meteors, charging, and small enemies. Yes, there is two bosses that are attacking you at one point of the fight, but that’s only when both are at under half hp. Anahita isn’t necessarily a pushover, but her attacks don’t make up for the lack of leviathans attacks. Although, for most of the fight you’re going against each boss separately. Leviathan needs more challenge for her part of the fight (alone). I suggest making her charges do more dmg, since it’s easy to dodge, but if there is a time you mess up, you should get heavily punished for it.As for the attack, if I were to give an idea, I’d say whenever she charges, she releases a water sphere about the size of leviathan herself (in the middle of the dash) that bursts into a medium amount of bubbles (size of the player) that goes in all directions. A concept like this would keep people on their toes when the leviathan gains some distance from the player when she charges.

Ramp up the speed at which the taser projectile returns to the player

Currently this weapon has a lot of potential, doing a lot of damage and with a balanced amount of time that it latches onto enemies. However, the speed that it travels back at is so slow that it makes it not viable for the fights it will most likely be used at (skeletron, slime god, wof). This not only is a problem since a large amount of fights involve kiting, but also because the player is unable to switch items. A way to solve this would be a flat increase in speed travelling towards the player, or a steady ramp up in speed when returning.

This will increase the challange for Deus for only Deathmode while giving Revengence an easier experience since why would killing 1 worm kill the other, If you focus on 1 while the other is at 100% health it's an easy win.

I think it would be pretty cool of the Profaned Soul Crystal/Artifact had some changes when the sun goes down, just like Providence herself. That way, you can change up how you fight bosses.

At night, the player with the Crystal could gain more DEF. DR could come in when the player takes a lot of damage in a short time, and they gain a buff that reduces DR for a short amount of time, gaining more DR for longer depending on the damage taken. This way, the player could last longer in nighttime battles.
Would be neat of the acceleration were to mimic Night Providence a bit more. The player's top speed is raised, but the acceleration is slower, so that the player doesn't make as sharp of dodges, which could go hand-in-hand with the DEF and DR raise.
Attack changes. Would be interesting to see the 4 attack types see damage and slight behavior alterations to make them more fun to use.
Guardians. The little guardians could see some behavior changes to make them more interesting and versatile. I think the Healer should heal more Hp, but at slower rates, the Defensive guardian shoots projectiles instead of charging, and the Offensive one dashes back and forth instead of clinging to the enemy. (The artifact could get weaker versions of these changes)

**Remove Ravager's Leg Sparks**

Ravager emits tiny damaging sparks that lingers on a solid surface after its legs are destroyed and before the second phase. This is by far the least relevant and memorable attack of the fight, to the point that many don't even know it exists, and here's why:

The spark is tiny to the point where if you get hit, it almost seems like you got hit by nothing. And if you didn't get hit, you wouldn't even see it.
The likelihood that you're staying on a solid floor under Ravager is insanely low due to the nature of the fight, and the fact that people use platforms a lot. If you are in that situation somehow, you will probably avoid it the moment after.
Ravager can lose this attack (almost) immediately in transition to phase 2, easily making it the least significant part of the fight, as removing the head still causes the head to stick for the rest of the fight.

As it is now, the First Shadowflame is objectively worse than the Voltaic Jelly, a post-DS drop. (15DPS vs 16DPS + 1 minion slot). It also doesn't really do anything unique; it's another 'minions inflict a damaging debuff' acc, and doesn't really have anything that makes it an iconic Summoner item. Adding an effect that'd spawn Shadowflame Apparitions upon crit would fix this issue, as minions have a static crit chance, it'd make it more obviously a summoner item, and it makes the item more unique.

**Either slow down ravager’s flying acceleration or make him deal no contact damage for a certain time after starting flying**

Currently, the biggest pain when fighting ravager is the contact damage ravager does when he flies towards the player, if the player attempts to fly/run away from ravager to escape this contact damage, he accelerates greatly making it impossible to dodge him without clever usage of a rod of discord. This leads ravager to become an annoyance of a boss to fight and levels harder than the moon lord, which is intended to be fought after ravager

Add an item to assist in tracking Draedon arsenal lab structures.

As it is now, it's tedious and difficult to find them at all, even with mapping software to assist in searching the entire world.
Unless you create a small world, there's so much space to search that it's unlikely to find any of them by accident, and searching for them on purpose is still slow.
If you happen to stumble into one of the labs that have turrets and you aren't yet geared for either survivability, or speed, you will likely die before you notice what's happening.

Having something similar to mob radar (if within x tiles "THERE'S A _____ LAB NEARBY") so the player knows to proceed with caution to find/avoid, but doesn't flat say, "go here for lab" would be a reasonable balance between no information and too much information.

Alternately using something like the ender eyes from minecraft "consumable, travels a short distance in the direction of the nearest undiscovered lab, then disappears" so it remains a hunt and gather portion to the game.

The labs are interesting, there's fun gear to get from them, but it's harder to find them than bee hives.

Putting one of the tracking items in the space Bio-center lab so there's a reliable access method that people can stumble into naturally could be a good method to expose the player to the tracking items, or the guide recommending how to find the parts/item after you've encountered a turret.

**Slightly buff The Final Dawn's alternate stealth strike (throwing self towards the cursor).**

The Final Dawn is a great weapon to have as rogue, whether you're playing normally or stealth-oriented. But one thing I noticed as a small flaw in the weapon is in its alternate stealth strike, where it throws you towards the cursor's direction.

The direct hit damage doesn't really justify risking getting contact damage. Adjusting this attack would make it a little bit better to use.

Some ways to adjust it, but aren't limited to:

Tremendously buffing the direct hit damage
Giving damage reduction when using the attack
Giving the attack the similar treatment to Asgard's Valor / Elysian Aegis and their upgrade, Asgardian Aegis, which would be invincibility when the direct hit damages an enemy.

"What do you mean by this?" I'm referring to the fact that in vanilla Terraria, each biome with a respective wood type has it's own armor and tool set, so it would be nice for players to have access to another choice of wooden armor and tools if they manage to explore far enough.

"But wouldn't players already have better gear like Wulfrum?" Most likely, but it sticks to the theme of each tree type having its own set. Take Pearlwood for example, it has it's own set to keep consistency despite being pointless compared to the Hardmode metal armors.

"What about the Sulphurous armor and tools? They're made from Acidwood" The thing about that set is that it's made with post Eye of Cthulhu materials, namely Sulphuric Scales. Basic Acidwood armor and tools would be made with Acidwood and nothing more, much like any other respective biome wood.

why am i asking? compare the damage bonuses the Fearmonger armour set gives to the damage bonuses the God Slayer armour gives (with summoner helmet) . you will see that the Fearmonger armour set gives a +11% damage bonus as well as a +40% summon damage bonus as well as giving 6 minion slots. however, the God Slayer armour gives +10% damage from the chest piece, +10% damage from the leggings and +65% summon damage as a set bonus and only 3 minion slots. you will see that the damage bonuses are closely similar and you need to remember that the Fearmonger armour set is supposed to be a tank option for the summoner class, where you are supposed to take more hits at the cost of dealing significantly less damage. also, because of these stats, the Fearmonger armour set is more viable against SCal, but it is available right after DoG. therefore, the armour set could be nerfed by either reducing the damage bonuses given by the Fearmonger armour set, or keeping the stats, but changing the recipe to include a post Yharon Phase 2 ingredient

Stealth being viable has been kind of on and off. There's some bosses that you can use it with such as WOF or other bosses that give you a chance to slow movement.

For crafting and such an alternative weapon could be used, such as blood bath maybe? Unsure at the moment on this regard. Alternatively there could be a variant of both, made through crafting by simply switching it like super dummy and dummy. With this method, it being a material won’t be a concern either.
Edit: a lot of people have told me a sentry has to target to be a sentry. This is untrue, as lightning aura and land mine both are sentries, and neither target.

This fight is very easy due to the fact players can also kite the brain leaving it charging for a longer period of time leading to extra dmg. This is honestly easier than expert mode (excluding cheesing minimap) as expert mode has way less reaction time. Rev+ charge attack is way too simple and easy to avoid.

**Make the Paladins Shield buff from the rampart of Deities Togglable with visibility**

Due to taking 25% of all teammates damage, Asgard's valor is just an outright better option for most players. The main reason people use the shields is for knockback immunity, so being able to disable the paladin buff would give an alternative option for that.

-on solo, other than the lack of a dash, all the deific abilities and frozen shell make it considerably better than asgards valor. Its good because any class can use it with no drawbacks.
-On multiplayer, the fact it always absorbs team mates damage limits who can use it, since if you arent tanky enough to absorb damage then you end up being brought to 50% health real quick, which can screw you over. This issue isnt present on solo, so making toggleable just makes it as viable as on solo for everyone rather than just some people some of the time.

** Eventually implement a seperate theme for the nighttime variant of Providence.**

Since nighttime Providence is a different fight than daytime Providence, it kinda makes sense to have a different theme for nighttime Providence.
Both Devourer of Gods and Yharon have second phases with different themes than the first. This symbolizes a change in the fight, and thus requires a new theme to fit that change. Supreme Calamitas is also a great example, as she has four sub-themes of her whole theme, which not only help with showing the changes in her fight, but also contribute to lore.
This could open up a gateway to add some more lore to Providence, and show the difference between the daytime fight and the nighttime fight. Why is Providence so different during night?

As of now, when ravager would jump on the it's second phase, it would jump diagonally and go through the player dealing massive damage(especially on death mode) and makes it excessively hard to no-hit.
Although this only happens when the ravager is under you diagonally and when you are far away from it
The position of him being diagonally under you is likely since when he jumps and stomps down the first time, he will fall through any platforms and appear under you be it directly or diagonally.

A suggestion about making the **Arcane** modifier a *bit* more useful.

Add a mana reduction (1%, less or more), just like you did to the Warding,Hard, Guarding, etc modifiers by adding a small percentage of damage reduction.
Well, a lot of people are saying that the Arcane modifier in later game is kinda useless, so why not adding a mana reduction to make it a little bit better? In late game you gain mana from armor sets and accessories etc, so the Arcane modifier will not affect your maximum mana because there is a mana capacity.

**One all-around boost for melee and rogue proficiency levels, similar to the one all-around boost that mage/summoner/ranger have**

At the moment, three of the five classes have a buff that can be considered an "all around" buff. Ranged has the movement speed buff, summoner gives extra summons for support, and mage has mana cost reduction (which is technically an all around buff, given that some non-mage items use mana). These buffs encourage the player to play with a variety of classes in order to receive permanent benefits in an all-around category. In order to keep this chain going, I suggest that melee levels slightly boost the player's defense by a miniscule amount and that rogue levels boost all projectile speed, rather than just rogue projectiles. This would allow the two classes to join the all around benefit party while also not making much of a difference overall.

The quick modifier is very bad simply because movement speed is a bad stat in 1.3. While wearing boots or wings movement speed does not increase max speed, but instead builds up to the max speed faster.

Make a weapon craftable out of the Pumpler and the Fungicide.

The Fungicide only has a later use in endgame and the Pumpler has none and both of the weapons are only useable in very early pre Hardmode as you can easily get better weapons from pre Hardmode bosses. Some might even not use them because the Minishark has the same power as them and is easier to obtain. So I think it would be fitting if those two weapons could be crafted together into a late pre hardmode/early hardmode gun.

"Why?" For 3 reasons actually.
The armor itself appears to have some sort of fur or leather-like material in it, specifically in the chestplate and greaves, despite not needing a leather-like material to craft it.
It gives the player the incentive to hunt down Angry Dogs in the same biome you get the base materials from (Snow, Ice and Boreal Wood)
The need to acquire Leather would balance out the early glide effect that comes with the armor set bonus, putting in extra effort to fight for these materials to gain that early fall damage resistance.

**Raise the max mana cap.**

The current max mana cap in terraria is 400. As you have 180 max mana via mana stars and default mana, this means that your gear can only increase max mana by 200 via your gear. This is not changed by calamity, as in calamity you have 550 max mana, but 350 is granted by permanent upgrades and your natural 20 mana, so you can still recieve only +200 from your gear. The problem with this is that you get 200 mana from gear incredibly easily. For example, hydrothermic mage armor gives 100 max mana, as does the sigil of calamitas. With those 2 items, you have already reached the mana cap, maxing any further boosts useless. Raising the cap would make mana boosts less useless.

Add a way to revert the "can be used once per life" effects of some endgame armors without dying or re-entering the game.

I understand that we probably don't want Silva Revival and etc. to be used more than once per bossfight, and I'm fine with it, but sometimes the effect triggers while exploring normally, which can be frustrating because if you survive after the trigger, then you must kill your character (or exit and enter the world again, but I don't think that is intended behaviour) to revert the effect. The method (armor set skill, maybe?) must be simpler than suicide, but inflict some kind of penalty, of course (I'm thinking about setting current hp to 1 and applying a bunch of debilitating debuffs, but that's implementation details).

**Allow the combining of the campfire, star in a bottle, heart lantern, and four drunken princess candles into a single version that, when placed, gives a single buff with the combined effects**

Terraria has a limit on the number of buffs the player can have active. These few items alone take up seven available buff slots. Sure, the player can choose to forfeit these in regards to more powerful potion-buffs, but these items are all permanent and apply to all players within a radius. By combining these four items to have a single item that gives a buff with all of the effect, it both makes it easier to carry around supplies to build an arena while also freeing the player up to use the plenty of Calamity-exclusive buffs that might not have otherwise been used.

**Make all Boss Summons be non-Consumable as Long as Armageddon is Active**

In a normal playthrough, even on deathmode, having many boss summons being consumable makes sense. However, Armageddon presents a much greater threat, because all of the bosses kill you in one hit, which requires either really good luck or lots of practice to learn their attacks--both of which will almost necessarily take more than five tries before succeeding on almost ANY boss. For later/harder bosses like Clonamitas and the post-ML bosses, the summons aren't consumable because those fights require the same thing to a lesser extent simply because of how punishing they are.
Having to farm out the materials for all the potions and consumables or farming out the money to buy them is bad enough, but having to get the materials for a new boss summon every time you attempt it in Armageddon is quite irritating, especially for some of the harder ones like EoW/BoC, which assume you'll only need to use it once or twice--and with Armageddon, many players will need to fight the boss quite a bit more than that before achieving a no-hit victory.

Also, this wouldn't be cheesable. You can't turn Armageddon off in the middle of the fight (it just kills you or triggers a revive and despawns the boss), and if you use a boss summon that would normally be consumed while Armageddon is active, there's no way to turn it off before it spawns.

**expand on spiky balls (the rogue weapon-type)**

while this does sound like a joke submission, hear me out.
spiky balls function alot differently from other rogue weapons

for one; they're the only type of rogue weapon that doesnt get destroyed when they touch the ground (i mean i guess there's peircing but other than that i cant think of many rogue weapons that do)

secondly; they pose the idea of quantity over quality, in other words, they're very spammable, but do less damage overall.

thirdly: they function alot differently than other weapons. with most weapons you simply aim and hold m1, but spiky balls are setup weapons. meaning instead of just holding m1, you try to bait enemies into them. for example, when a worm boss is burrowed, instead of waiting for it to pop back out again, you could spread the ground with spiky balls so that when it emerges it runs into them. not to mention that the whole idea of spiky balls really fits the playstyle of rogue.

last but not least, there's not many spiky balls in the mod as of now. calamity adds only 12 of them. 2 of which are bouncy and sticky variants of the original, and there's only 2 of them in hardmode, and only 2 post-ML. leaving not much variety for rogue weapons.

**Make it the process of obtaining and using Draedon Power Cells more obvious**

Due to the large quantity of lab-styled furniture present in the various draedon labs, it is not very clear to new players that the Fuel Factory and Charging Station are not just decorative furniture. This is especially true of the Fuel Factory, as the ones found in the labs are inactive until broken and replaced. Players who do not realize that these two machines are actually functional will miss out entirely on the charge mechanic for the Draedon's Arsenal weapons, significantly lowering the effectiveness of the weapons.

I've seen quite a few youtubers completely miss the Fuel Factories and Charging stations in videos showcasing the new update, and the few that do notice the GUI on the Charging Station often don't know what's meant to go into it. I feel that something this crucial to the update and to the entire draedon gear set should be a little easier to figure out on your own – right now, the best way to find out how the charge mechanic works is just to look it up on the wiki.

Some possible solutions to this problem would be to add some quotes about power cells and the charge mechanic to the hologram boxes, or to make the inactive fuel factories emit spark particles to draw attention to themselves, but there are plenty of other ways to accomplish the same thing.

Add another rogue early hardmode option.

Titan heart is the only pre-boss hardmode pure rogue armor option. This is a problem because it is a specialized armor. The decreased attack speed makes this armor very poor for dps if you don't use rogue stealth. This leaves people who don't want to use stealth any rogue options. Forbidden circlet is available, but it primarily focuses on summon boosts. Many players may want to stick exclusively to one class, so they won't get much out of the circlet either. I think that having a specialized option is a very good thing, as it gives the player a greater ability to get gear based on their playstyles. A counterpart to titan heart would be appreciated, perhaps an armor that forgoes stealth for higher rogue boosts.

**Have homing projectiles home less aggressively for players at full stealth**

The way I see what stealth is supposed to be, it's meant to find the perfect opportunity for a massive bulk of damage. However, the encouragement to get to full stealth in fights is not the biggest, as I've noticed it's more consistent to deal damage at all times at the nearest opportunity. To support it being a system of finding a more perfect opportunity, I believe the decreased "aggro" of homing bullets can help encourage the system, since you'll still face the constant push of the enemies but you will have less projectiles to worry about and more time to deal damage, such as an adrenaline or rage combo. Alternatively, this could be added as an extra attribute to a post-moonlord rogue armor set bonus/accessory.

Both of these gloves synergize well with stealth gameplay, and combining them somewhere in post-ML would make stealth rogue players have slightly more freedom in accessories (especially since Precision doesn't have any upgrades and you can be stuck with that even in endgame).

If this would go through, Nanotech would also need to inherit Glove of Precision's trait, since Electrician's Glove is currently part of its recipe.

**Allow the combination of the aquatic emblem, aquatic heart, ocean crest, luminous amulet, and giant pearl**

All of these items have extremely similar functions (slowing breath loss/providing light in the abyss), but most, if not all, will never be used due to the number of accessories needed to use them. By allowing the combination of them, it opens them up to actually be used by players in the abyss. Plus, it would function as a great complement to the abyssal diving suit.

**Make the Guide give the starter bag loot**

I mean, c'mon. The Guide is most likely the type to give you starter bag loot. Almost all of the guide's quotes are about aiding the player, even though he does absolutely nothing in the modded world due to playersa) being experienced enough to know what the Guide says in his Help button and b) probably has Recipe Browser which purpose is to replace the Guide's Crafting option.
At least give the Guide better Help options and make him give Starter Bag loot upon right-clicking on him or when you click "Help" or something.
Also, a lot of players don't care about the Guide, so they might miss it. A way to counter this is to plop a ❕ above him to show it is available.
Also also, to make sure people don't cheat the loot later on, make it only available 'til the first night.

Cryogen lore is proven to be a strong lore item, able to give a dash without the use of accessories or specific armors (Solar Flare for example). The drawback it gives is nothing later in the game compared to its potential.

**Give some true melee accessories to let the player lock themselves to swing their melee weapons at one side while moving, through the use of visibility toggle.**

One of the reasons true melee weapons can be lacking is because most of these weapons won't allow you to keep swinging into one direction while moving. "Moonwalking", as I'd like to call it, can help creating safe, true melee distance from an enemy while keeping DPS output steady.

Allowing some true melee accessories (like Samurai Badge or Titan Glove and its upgrades) to toggle this via visibility button would help making true melee weapons more consistent to use.

**Rework and/or buff the Spiteful Candle.**

❔
This thing's effect is hardly noticeable; 5% extra damage (after all other factors, presumably) isn't really that impressive especially since boss kill times can now be forced upon you anyway, and its extra gimmick --- the ignorance of enemy DR --- is entirely a statement to make it sound cooler since multiplication doesn't care about order. Additionally, even if it wasn't completely ineffectual, it'd feel that way anyway because anything with enough DR to make a difference is going to probably hit the 99%+ cap where Spiteful doesn't work. Given the fact that these things are a short-range buff for a mighty 2 platinum per candle, this seems entirely too underwhelming for the price one has to pay for it.

**Rework the implementation of, and expand upon the concept of, melee/rogue variants and weapon variants in general.**

❔
These things, as they are right now, aren't too terribly interesting and tend to heavily decrease weapon variety throughout a playthrough. Most noticeable in this department is the wide array of melee/rogue variants scattered throughout the mod, which add plenty of ways to make you question if rogue is melee or melee is rogue at basically every stage of the game. However, the concept itself is highly interesting and, if given the proper love and care, could blossom into a way to increase weapon variety at a tier without necessarily needing to create new weapons --- this could also be a neat way to introduce concepts that will likely never be seen in-game otherwise.

Some ways to help to diversify and streamline the implementation of variants, for examples, would be to:

Allow variants of the same weapon to be crafted between one another for a price at a certain crafting station.
Allow other classes to get in on that variant goodness as well, rather than melee and rogue getting all the love.
Allow variants of the same weapon to function differently (let rogue variants have stealth strikes, god damnit, if they won't then what's the point).
Expand upon Aether's Whisper's approach --- make a weapon have a left-click and right-click corresponding to certain classes, with different functions based on the mode being used.

Cold Divinity is one of the strongest Legendary weapons not only because of its unique mechanics, it also gets summon damage bonuses applied twice, which makes it sustainable for very long, arguably 3/4 of Hardmode.

Giving other legendaries a similar mechanic would make them also last much longer, making their legendary status worth the grind. To circumvent certain cheeses, legendaries can be changed to drop from the bosses themselves instead of their Treasure Bag (much like Yharon and stuff like Void Vortex or Yharim's Crystal).

**Rebalance bosses to better fit progression within Death Mode.**

From my personal experiences in my Rogue Death Mode playthrough, I've found that some bosses had an extreme jump in difficulty that is out of place of the other bosses next to it (before & after). I'll list the bosses which I find needing buffs/nerfs, and I'll give some suggestions too:

-Desert Scourge, buff (give the boss a significantly higher jump to reach high platforms &/or damage reduction if the player is too high from the surface)
-Eater of Worlds, nerf (might be debatable, but I found in my attempts that EoW's health and projectile damage with cursed flames outdid my attempts of dealing significant damage, even with the bugged vile feeder. Decreasing the duration of CF could work out well)
-Plaguebringer Goliath, nerf (I outright skipped both PBG and Ravager in my playthrough and went straight to cultist because I found both bosses to be too difficult for me to beat at that time, with Rav being extra difficult as I couldn't beat PBG. I feel that the horizontal projectiles that PBG uses should be spread out a bit more so it's somewhat easier to dodge)
-Lunatic Cultist, buff (way too easy in DM, possibly give high DR if any summons are in the area, and also increase their fire rate/damage of projectiles/attacks so it's harder to dodge)
-Moon Lord, buff (Boss is a little hectic but otherwise isn't that hard to play around if you have a large enough arena to fly in, maybe increase ML's mobility to chase the player and give them new attacks)
-Devourer of Gods, nerf/buff (Using a skybridge makes the boss a lot easier to attack as it won't attempt to charge you as much, but the instant kill hitbox is significantly larger than the actually head. Decreasing the hitbox a small bit while allowing the DoG to charge while flying within the space biome would be both great)

**Give melee and mage some items from Sentinels' direct drops or from their specific materials without the use of post-Polterghast materials.**

Messing with progression a bit is fun, and doing Sentinels before even touching Providence is proven to be a decent strategy on most classes.

For example, Rangers can get Storm Dragoon and The Storm from Storm Weaver. Summoners can get Cosmilamp and (RIV) Guidelight of Oblivion from Signus, and Rogue can get many stuff, Spectral Veil and Cosmic Kunai from Signus, Sealed Singularity from CV's Dark Plasmas, and Deific Thunderbolt from SW's Armored Shells.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case for Melee and Mage players, since Melee can only get Mirror Blade from CV (which is subpar vs Providence due to her having no contact damage) and mage only having Mistlestorm from CV's Dark Plasmas.

Adding more melee and magic weapons on CV and SW, or their materials pre-Polterghast, can make non-linearity in this stage a bit more viable for these two classes.

**Remove Enchanted Metal and rework the alt recipe of Mechanical bosses summon items to mimic original recipes, but replacing specific materials with small amounts of Mysterious Circuitry.**

Enchanted Metal is weird simply because it has only a single purpose: To make Mechanical Eye, Worm and Skull. This makes Enchanted Metal extremely redundant, adding yet another crafting material that has only a single purpose essentially.

Removing Enchanted Metal from the mod and replacing them in alt recipes of mech boss summons with small amounts of Mysterious Circuitry, Souls of Light/Night and Iron/Lead bars would make things still slightly easier to grind (since if you explored the world enough, you should have surplus of Circuitry), but reducing the redundant crafting materials.

Additionally, in Calamity's lore, Mechanical Bosses were retconned to be made by Draedon, and Mysterious Circuitry can be found on Draedon's abandoned structures. It would make much more sense to use Circuitry than anything else, really.

Make the leviathan challenging somewhat

As of right now, the leviathan is PURELY meteors and charging, and also spawn a bit of tiny enemies. I think there’s every bit of wrong in a VERY big fishy that can only do 2 actual attacks. Sure, you’re fighting a whole 2 bosses, but even then, many would agree the fight is still very easy compared to what is to be expected from a really sick looking boss. Give her 1 or 2 more attacks, preferably an attack that isn’t easy to dodge, then I see the boss fight not being boring for leviathans part, and maybe even making the player take a couple losses from them. Another thing, is to buff the damage from her charge attack. I feel it simply doesn’t do enough damage for a big hunk of meat being thrown at you with killing intent. In fact, it’s very simple to dodge this attack, so making one slight mistake should punish you big time for it.

I have noticed that the Acceptance phase of the song plays only when Supreme Calamitas reaches 1.0% of her HP. It is fitting, and even though she becomes invulnerable for a few seconds as she speaks in chat, most players will be killing her as soon as they can, with the great atmospheric music playing only for a few seconds.
The music accompanies the bittersweet feeling of conclusion beautifully, and I believe that it would leave a fantastic impression on a player's first playthrough.

Allow the Elemental Quiver's split effect to be toggled

The buffs from the Elemental Quiver are irreplaceable for a late game ranger, meaning a late game ranger is also stuck with the split effect. Some people like the effect, but if you search "elemental quiver split" in this server you'll find a bunch of people saying it lags them and that they wish they could disable it. Not only does it lag, but I personally think ranged weapons look cooler without the splitting (it makes them look more accurate; the split makes it look like the projectiles are going all over the place rather than in a straight line).
I think the most obvious solution is to have it be a matter of visibility toggling just like the holy dash, but if that isn't ideal for the devs then any other method would work fine.

**Redesign and Buff the Lunatic Cultist's Ritual Attack in Rev+**

Lunatic Cultist is a really easy boss. Its low-health and generally small and unintimidating design hints at a "kill it quickly or it will kill you quickly" kind of fight, but it just doesn't have the second part. Calamity does what it can to remedy that, but the way the attacks are set up, it's just not conceptually a difficult fight with the way the attacks work. You can dodge most of them by going in a circle, you don't need an arena because he has no attacks that can actually prevent you from using a specific place, and his main power move--the ritual attack--doesn't change a whole lot. Some of the main potential changes could be:

-The rituals happen at specific benchmarks in the Cultist's health (e.g. 75%, 50%, and 25%) rather than as part of its attack pattern, so they act more like phases of the fight. Before the first ritual, the fight would still probably be pretty easy, but the lower the health, the stronger the boss. A common boss design, and there's nothing wrong with it.
-The Cultist is invincible while the ritual is ongoing, and the duration is a bit longer to emphasize the change in the fight and make sure the player is aware of it.
-Potentially, some other attacks could happen during the ritual.
-The minions the Cultist summons would always be summoned after the ritual finishes and would be completely invulnerable throughout the duration of the fight. However, to make things fairer, they would coordinate specific movements with the Cultist's attacks rather than having basic enemy AI.
-This could solve the issue of just being able to run away from the Cultist to avoid ancient dooms, lightning orbs, and the need for an arena as well as stop his attacks while he relocates if one of the minions prevented you from leaving an area or blocked off an area periodically.

Make it so that each segment of a Corruption worm enemy in Death Mode, such as the World Feeder or Devourer, has a modest chance at dropping loot per segment, or even just a tiny amount of loot per segment, rather than normal loot dropping when you kill the whole worm.

While it's true that Death Mode is supposed to be difficult, the difficulty of Corruption worm enemies on Death vs the rewards for fighting them is very disproportionately skewed, especially compared to fighting other Death Mode enemies. The reward for killing a World Feeder's multiple thousand-health segments, for instance, is the same as killing a Clinger. The reward for killing a Devourer's many segments is the same as an Eater of Souls.. minus the worm teeth, but if people want unholy arrows they'd probably just buy them. It makes these enemies kind of a waste of time to fight, considering you could be getting the same thing by killing way easier opponents. This would make them considerably more rewarding, without overdoing it too much.

**Have Draedon's lab turrets ignore you while you have the invisibility buff**

Since the changes to make turrets blast resistant, its incredibly difficult to get close enough to the turrets to be able to mine them, especially earlier on in the game and in higher difficulties. At the point where the circuit materials are first required, after HM/perfs, the player will probably not have knockback resistance, so its almost impossible to actually get close enough to the turrets to destroy them, especially as the laboratory blocks are blast resistant as well. This is even more noticeable in the structures where there are multiple turrets in the structure. Having the turrets ignore you while invisible would make the structures more manageable to deal with, and give an alternative to just repeatedly charging at them and dying to make small amounts of progress, which is tedious, not fun, and the turrets should not be balanced around having to die to deal with them.

For Brimmy's case, proposed idea is to rework her to change between her combat stance and defensive (cocoon) stance under certain conditions. This new Brimmy would rotate between shooting lasers or ramming enemies on her combat stance. The Elemental would give the player extra defense or damage reduction in her defensive stance, along with continuous shots of Brimstone Hellblasts.

**Rework Cloud Elementals to not just be slightly altered Sand Elementals, and rework the Eye of the Storm's Cloud Elemental summon to match.**

Cloud Elementals, and by extension the Cloud Elemental summon from the Eye of the Storm+, aren't really that interesting at all.

Some examples of how to make these entities more interesting:

Allow them to throw lightning bolts, as the enemy's attack animation suggests.
Give the enemy the ability to dash so that the summon better reflects her.

-Basically, once you are done farming money its time to reforge your accesories and it could take some long minutes to get the exact accessory you want, and getting all your accesories in +4 Def could be very boring since there are 7 accesories slots, this is basically a quality of life change because this does not affect your gameplay, it just make it less boring.

-And it could even have the same combined price, for example, 3 accesories, reforging them costs around.. 50 gold each one for example , then the reforging price could be 1 platinium 50 gold, with this you are not breaking the game, you are just expending less time on reforging every single one.

**Rework Gehenna (Brimstone Elemental's Expert drop) to reflect the boss a lot more.**

In its current state, no one wants to bother with using Gehenna, and it ends up as VoE crafting material only. Not only it's straight up a bad item, falling fireballs doesn't reflect Brimmy in any way. Reworking it would make it a lot more worth to consider to use.

An example proposal to rework it is to make it allow the player equipping it to be wrapped inside a rock cocoon, immensely increasing damage reduction and constantly releases waves of brimstone darts, but disabling movement and item usage. There would be a cooldown to this once the player gets out.

**Allow for the customization of music in the music mod.**

This comes from a bit of a weird place, but as somebody who knows how to make wave banks for Terraria, it is a bit of a bummer that we can't customize the Calamity music. The mod "Better Music / Music Replacer" allows you to do this by extracting the mod and replacing the music. This would also be a good compromise for those who want to see the alternate versions of songs in the music mod, since they could add it themselves if they wanted.

The Amalgam is a post DoG accessory, yet the Fungal Clump falls short on Yharon, Scal due to its short attack and healing range. The Amalgam also functions similar to a classless accessory that excel on special arena, that give a summon, loosely similar to HoTE. Adding this toggle won't have any major game-changing deals, but a nice thing to have.

**Allow Draedon’s Heart to be acquired earlier in progression**

?

Currently, the main accessories that make up Draedon’s Heart can all be acquired from any treasure bag in revengeance mode, meaning you can get all of them pre hardmode. Despite this, you have to wait until after not only pre-hm, but hardmode and the DoG’s defeat to actually craft them together. This tier placement means it also has to compete with the other accessories you get from the defeat of DoG, which Draedon’s Heart...doesn’t really do the best at.
So I suggest allowing the player to obtain Draedon’s Heart some time earlier, giving less delay on crafting the three pieces together, and making it generally more useful without reworking it dramatically.

Luxor’s gift softcap in late game weapons

Luxor’s gift is a pre boss accessory that is viable even post moon lord. I think that a softcap would help to add some variety in accessories, so you don’t keep Luxor’s gift on most of the game.

**Rework how one would gain Rage meter entirely. Proposed idea would be to make Rage meter fill whenever a player is grazing a projectile.**

Rage currently is in a bad spot, because out of the two ways you can gain Rage:

The amount the player gets Rage from taking damage is quite miniscule in comparison to damage potential later in the game.
True melee hits make Rage partially biased to one class, and even then, an arbitrary close range version of it.

Reworking Rage meter filling to fill up on "grazing" projectiles (as in near misses) would give Rage bar a lot more consistency to be filled up, and would be able to be utilized by all classes.

**Taser's hook should return almost immediately if it ever latched something on launch.**

Taser (T1 Draedon ranged weapon) is a great weapon to use, but there is 1 issue that makes it not only slightly OP, but also kind of annoying to use: The hook returns at the same velocity whether you latched it on anything.

The hook can still deal damage while traveling back to the player, so it can be abused against slow moving NPCs (like spinning Skeletron head) to gain extra damage bonus for each Taser shot.

On the other hand, the slow return of the hook makes it slightly inconvenient to use, as you need to slow down and wait for it to catch up with you in order for the player to stop using the weapon.

Making the hook return almost immediately to the player after latching onto something would simultaneously make it more convenient to use, and make it less abusable against slow moving NPCs.

**Increase the drop rate for the elemental stone ingredients required for the heart of the elements (currently at 10%)**

This has been a very unfortunate issue that those who may want to obtain the heart of the elements will have to face, even in their nightmares.
The drop rate for each stone item is fairly low (being at 10%), however the main issue isn't in the drop rate itself, it's the health pool that the bosses you obtain them from possess. In my opinion, it's not an issue when it comes to the aero stone, mostly due to the desert scourge's low difficulty and low health pool.

However, it becomes an issue for every other stone simply due to the fact that the bosses possess large health pools, and have very dangerous attacks that make it hard enough to farm them without armageddon mode for the average non-masochist (which is why I see the waifu in a bottle as well as the eye of the storm to not be an issue, being obtainable from mobs which spawn rates can be increased and can be eliminated instantly). Not to mention the absolute boredom and pain one has to endure while waiting patiently or impatiently for the bosses healthbar to drop, and the utter disappointment that is cast on oneself after opening treasure bag after treasure bag, only to be met with no stone.

That's why increasing the drop rate will make the task of obtaining the elemental stones to be less nightmare inducing for those who wish to make the heart of the elements, or especially for those who wish to use the stones themselves directly or in a crafting recipe.

Draedon’s arsenal for summoners is consistently a good deal worse than other available weapons available at that time. Ideally, they are at least comparable to other weapons available at that time and in the case of Pole Warper, should be better than other weapons that are used currently due to the fact that it belongs to a higher tier.

**Make Aero Stone only drop from Aquatic Scourge.**

There are a couple reasons why I feel that this should be the case:

Firstly (the reason why it should only drop from one of the bosses), if a player doesn't have the Aero Stone by Hardmode, they can easily just Armageddon-farm the much easier boss, DS, for the item instead of AS, making this drop useless from AS right now. It is also the only HotE component that is obtained from multiple bosses, which means that making it AS-exclusive would fix the consistency issue there.

Secondly (the reason why it should drop from AS instead of DS specifically), right now, Aero Stone is the only HotE component that drops in Pre-Hardmode. Making it only an AS drop makes it consistent with the other HotE materials in that it would only drop from one boss and it would only be obtained in Hardmode. Perhaps a buff would be required in order to make it viable for Hardmode, but considering the stats of the other (Hardmode-exclusive) HotE stones, 3% damage and a small amount of extra mobility is par for the course.

However, the Sunken Sea Bio-center Lab can spawn just about anywhere on the edge of the Sunken Sea, and more often than not gets partially destroyed by the Empress' Den spawning. The mini-biome only ever spawns on one side of the Sunken Sea biome, with both mods installed the Sea Lab would be safest to spawn somewhere on the left

Add Summon Weapons that aren't Summons

The mod adds a substantial debuff to minion damage based on whether you have a summon weapon in your hand or not. The only things you can use that doesn't add a debuff to your minion damage are Tools and Classless Weapons. As a summoner, you can't really do anything outside of actively switching out your minions or using a classless weapon if you want to contribute to the fight. The addition of summon weapons that don't summon, like the whips in 1.4, would give the player something to do in combat and a weapon that synergizes with the build.

An example of this would be the Borealis Bomber. While my minions are doing their thing, I can help keep the pressure up by spawning in bombers which can aid in crowd control and contributing more directly to dps on the boss.

You have no idea how many times a slime rain has killed a DoG run for me. Also it can be pretty distracting. Having events like goblin army, slime rain etc. pause in the middle or delayed during a boss should help reduce how distracting they can be. However, events like the Old One’s Army and Martian Madness that have to be deliberately summoned might not have to be paused. Instead, have Martian Madness not be able to spawn any saucers and have Old One’s Army just flat out ignore boss summons.

Make mining armor easier to obtain.

Mining armor is currently obtained in a way that makes it very difficult for players to get. The helmet is bought from the merchant, but the other pieces are 2.4% drops from undead miners. This means that you will almost never obtain it in normal play. The rareness of this armor combined with the mining speed boosts of pre-hardmode ore armors makes this set essentially useless.

**Decrease the costs of pre-hardmode ore armors.**

It is simply incredibly hard to get these armors due to their ore costs, meaning that few players can actually get them early game. Because calamity has easy to get and powerful armors in pre-hardmode, this means that their value in combat is next to none. This discourages the player from getting them pre-boss, meaning that in general only the higher tier armors are used in later parts of the game for their mining utility. Even the earliest ore armors are fairly hard to get, requiring 180 ore each. The higher tier ones are incredibly difficult to get pre-boss, requiring 360 ore. This takes a great amount of time to mine and require a large amount of luck. This can be negated if you happen to chance upon a plantetiod, but this is a hardly reliable way of getting ore.

Buff the aureate booster.

The aureate booster is a set of wings intended to synergize with reaver armor. However, it is neither good with reaver or without it due to its low wing stats. This pair of wings has very poor flightime and distance at 1.33 seconds and 65 tiles respectively. The current meta wing option, mothron wings, has double those stats at 2.67 seconds flight time and 102 tiles. The boost with reaver armor doesn't help either, giving a measly 15% movement speed. This is especially poor considering the booster gives 50% movement speed by itself. This wing does have one advantage, a vertical speed 10 mph faster than mothron wings, but it simply isn't worth it due to the low flight time, which forces you to stop to regain flightime. Buffing the stats even slightly would make it much more viable and would make wing progression much more interesting.

**Remove the Plaguebringer Armor's flower boots functionality.**

The Flower Boots are a helpful, if niche, accessory that generate grass as you run. They're useful, but not exactly the sort of thing you'd want to have on all the time, due to useful potions like the Tesla Pot producing an aura that immediately breaks that grass. While it is a minor annoyance, it can possibly cause lag, and general visual displeasure. (Also, it doesn't really fit the image of the PB armor at all, but that's more of a minor concern.)

**Add crafting recipes for the Living Loom and the Living/Rich Mahogany Wood and Leaf Wands**

In most cases, players sometime spawn in worlds that contain no surface living trees, or not enough living trees to give them everything they need. This is especially a pain for builders (like myself) who want to use these wands or crafting stations to build things legitimately without the use of HERO's Mod or Cheat Sheet. The crafting recipes would help players who were unfortunate to have a world without living trees, or enough chests with the needed items due to unlucky world gen.

**Generate the Sunken Sea with a Navystone "shell" around it**

The Sunken Sea's water should be contained inside of a bowl-shaped shell with an open top, formed by Navystone
Ideally, this would hopefully lead to less generation issues with water leaking out into surrounding caverns. It would also make the transition between biomes underground look smoother
Additionally, it could mean you need to enter the biome from the Underground Desert until you can break those blocks
I have traced the affected area with red. This shell would form a sort of bowl around the biome. Entry is granted by the open area directly connected to the Underground Desert

**Make Skeletron’s hands in Death Mode more dangerous.**

Skeletron’s four hands currently don’t pose much of a threat since his head spins so often, resulting in the hands being passive most of the time. Generally only one or two arms will swing before he spins again, making the removal of the arm respawn phase obsolete. Adjusting his fight to make the hands more dangerous would make them more significant in the fight besides looking intimidating. This could be done by:

making the head spin less often (could spin more often the less hands are active), and/or
making the hands swing more often.

an item that gives power (damage) , but hurts you shortly after you use it:

bosses are meant to be hard, we all know that, but near the end, the boss might be too challenging (providence gave me ptsd) and when she summons her guardians (for example) you can use the item when she is at low hp, and dispatch of her before she gets back to high hp, and out-damage the healing done by the guardians, but you will die after the boss, and can easily pick up the loot

**Buff the Spectre Mask.**

The spectre mask is currently quite poor in terms of dps, due to the set bonus being bad. The spectre mask set bonus creates projectiles that do 50% of the damage of the attack that spawned them, which seems pretty strong. However, these projectiles have a cooldown that limits their damage. The way it works is that after the projectiles do 1500 damage, you have to wait for the cooldown for them to do more damage. The cooldown lasts a second, and allows you to do 150 more damage via the projectiles before it needing to wait. Essentially, after the powerful intial burst of damage, the dps increase levels off at 150. Compared to reaver armor, which creates long-lasting spores on enemy hit with no cooldown, it is quite poor

The stats of this armor do not make up for the set bonus. With the respective wings being worn, it gives 80 max mana, 18% reduced mana usage, 25% magic damage, and 17% magic crit, with 42 defense. In comparison, reaver mage gives 80 max mana, 12% reduced mana usage, 29% magic damage, 15% magic crit, with 40 defense and 20 max life. Although the stats are slightly in the favor of the spectre mask, it simply isn't worth giving up on the excellent reaver set bonus for meager stats increases.

This material effectively does nothing that Bones cannot, aside from creating Calcium Potions, which completely invalidate several other later item effects anyway for no good reason (shoutout to Lucky Horseshoe becoming effectively worthless). It seems to just be a material that’s there for the sake of being there --- removing it would alleviate at least a small portion of the material bloat that currently plagues Calamity.
ALTERNATIVELY, the material can be given more reason to exist by including it in more recipes. This would help to give the material its own identity and justify it being in the mod rather than giving reason for removal.

**Add more head-hover minions (such as Sun Spirit staff), that also increase strength based on minion slots used (such as Sirius) in pre-hardmode/hardmode**

Summoned minions are inaccurate and frustrating to use, especially against fast moving enemies and bosses (there are obviously some summoned minions that are accurate and effective against fast moving enemies, but this ends up forcing players to only use those summons until the next accurate summon is available). Something Calamity does to mitigate this is adds head-hover minions such as the Sun Spirit Staff that are pin-point accurate. The issue is that while these summons are accurate, only 1 can be summoned. It is an addition to your damage, and you cannot solely rely on it. This means that the majority of your damage still has to come from inaccurate and frustrating minions. However, if these head-hover minions summons worked the same way that Sirius and Saros Possession, in that you could sacrifice minion slots for damage, they could become your sole output of damage. You would not have to rely on inconsistent damage.

Alternatively, new summon weapons that work similarly could be added.

This brings the obvious issue of over reliance on such summons. One way I think this could be mitigated is by balancing these summons to do lower dps compared to the minion summons that are on the same tier as them. This gives players the choice of a stronger, inconsistent summon or weaker, consistent summon.

The reason such weapons should be added mostly to pre-hm/hm is because post-ml already has Sirius, Saros, as well as summoned minions that are consistent.

**Adjust the rewards of extra difficulty modes.**

The new rewards would be changed to the following:

Iron Heart: Now boosts rare item drop chances and enemies drop 50% more cash.
Defiled Rune: Now multiplies Treasure Bags dropped from bosses.
Armageddon: Now significantly boosts Legendary item drop chances.

Currently, Iron Heart serves purely as a challenge, with no tangible rewards in store. This change would simply make Iron Heart at least worth to be looked upon, now that it's reworked and is an actually interesting challenge. Additionally, since Iron Heart affects yourself all the time instead of just against bosses, the new proposed reward would fit better than Defiled Rune (which currently has this reward), as it challenges the player on farming enemies or events.

Multiplying Treasure Bags would be a much better reward for Defiled Rune, since the difficulty only really matters in boss fights, and other conditions, like farming enemies or events, aren't much affected by the difficulty change provided by Defiled Rune. The difficulty's effects may need to be adjusted a bit so it's more detrimental against Pre-HM bosses, where wings don't exist most of the time.

Having much better chance of getting a Legendary item would be an appropriate reward for mastering bosses by no-hitting them, which is what Armageddon challenged you with. This change needs to come with a change in how Legendary items drop: Make them all drop from the boss themselves instead of their bags to avoid players cheesing the legendary drop boost with Treasure Bags.

**Give some true melee accessories to let the player lock themselves to swing their melee weapons at one side while moving (or "Moonwalking"), through the use of visibility toggle.**

One of the reasons true melee weapons can be lacking is because most of these weapons won't allow you to keep swinging into one direction while moving. "Moonwalking", as I'd like to call it, can help creating safe, true melee distance from an enemy while keeping DPS output steady.

**Grant Plague Jets (from the Tactical Plague Engine) the ability to shoot through walls.**

The Tactical Plague engine is a summoner weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Black Hawk Remote, but while it is technically superior in almost every way to the Black Hawk Remote, it has one flaw that cripples it for the point in the game you get it at; the Tactical Plague Engine cannot shoot through walls, while the Black Hawk Remote can. While this seems like a niche problem, the very next bosses you will be fighting by the time you get the TPE are the Profaned Guardians, and Providence. If you happen to be fighting Providence in Hell, the TPE is practically worthless; one of the positions they can take is directly above Providence, which often means they are shooting directly into solid rock, doing nothing.

This could easily discourage players new to the weapon from using it, as this flaw makes it show very poor DPS numbers compared to the Elemental Axe - a weapon it should be on par with - on one of the very first post-ML bosses you fight with it. This change would remedy that.

**A Few Changes Regarding Abyssal Treasure**

Currently Abyssal Treasure only has a certain variety of items; These being Copper and Silver Coins, a variety of different potions, Sticky Dynamite, Hadal Stew, Spelunker Glowsticks, and Hellfire Arrows. These items do provide the player with multiple benefits in the Abyss, however these items are quite common as there is an abundance of Abyssal Treasure found in Abyssal Pots found in the Abyss throughout the game. If these items were rarer it could make the player's experience in the Abyss more daunting in mid to late-hardmode as they may not be prepared for what awaits them in the Abyss.

Another slight change to Abyssal Treasure could be if it rarely/very rarely supplied the player with abyss related materials, weapons, accessories, and higher tier coins (Gold and Platinum). This could easily help players from early hardmode to late-hardmode as they may have a hard time getting through the second and third layers of the Abyss. Abyss related weapons and accessories could help fight off enemies and maneuver through the Abyss easier, Lumenyl provided by Abyssal Treasure could help in crafting if players don't want to traverse through the lower layers of the Abyss, and Gold and Platinum coins could help players with buying certain expensive items from NPC Vendors.

**Buff all of the Sulphuric Scale weapons.**

These weapons, such as the Basher and the Contaminated Bile, are very weak for their tier. They perform terribly compared to the Sunken Sea items, which are much easier to obtain (post Desert Scourge). The Contaminated Bile took about 2 minutes longer to kill the Eye of Cthulhu than the Seafoam Bomb, which has a similar effect to it. A simple damage buff for these weapons should do the trick. Alternatively, buff the Irradiated debuff they inflict.

**Give all Summoner Armor Sets a passive damage multiplier that builds up over time, but resets when the player takes any forms of damage.**

I was watching through Leviathan's most recent video which was a nohit playthrough of death mode with a bunch of modifiers, and I noticed that many of the bosses took a significantly longer period of time to beat when playing pure summoner compared to other classes. The class already spouts the lowest amount of defense with their accessories, and the damage output, while definitely better later in the game, still lags enough for fights to drag on.

Therefore, I thought of an idea that can act similar to Rogue's stealth mechanics but for Summoners: a buildup of #x summoner damage while the player does not take damage, but resets back to 1x whenever the player gets hits. It could be upgrade based, it could possibly have a higher scale for weaker armor tiers (to help more in pre-hardmode vs. hardmode or moon lord, so like 2x or 3x for victite but 1.5x or 1.25x for auric tesla), there can be a lot of opportunities with this idea.

But overall, I feel that giving Summoners an added flat damage multiplier based on their dodging and mobility would fit the class extremely well & cut out some noteworthy fight time. And since this is all damage, not just during bosses (like Adrenaline), it'll help the class out when it comes to events or just general exploration. Lastly, this would give people an incentive to try out Summoner as an all-mobility, all-damage playstyle of sorts (aka extremely good dps at the cost of basically no survivability when hit).

**Remove "Sam" as a correct user ID for the Murasama**

Why? It's simple; "Sam" is way too broad of a name for an easter egg. There are countless Sam's in the world, short for something or not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_(given_name), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_(surname), etc you get the point) that you can be inspired to name your character. This means that you don't even need to know the reference to get the weapon to work. Especially in the new update where players are encouraged to explore, and the underworld lab itself is easier to find, the murasama is very accessible to newer players in phm when building wof arenas. In a lucky and rare moment where one is named Sam out there who didn't know about the mod can pick it up and leave a bad impression on the unbalanceness of the mod without knowing it's an easter egg in the first place. Compare this to lul, where you need to be named "Totalbiscuit" exactly for it to work, which is a very specific name. Optimally, this shouldn't exist at all, but if the devs really want it to stay then at least make the players have to get the easter egg name down to the point instead of a casual name.

**Allow Solar Flare armor's dash to be used even without Solar Blaze buff.**

It is known that Solar Flare armor has a dash. It is known that the dash is essentially half of the armor's strength. It is also known that it's the only melee armor you can have between Moon Lord and Providence.

Yet its dash is worse than Asgard's Valor, which is easily obtainable post Plantera, mainly because it has limited uses and recharge system, which Valor doesn't have.

Making the armor allow ramming at all times would make the dash worth using. In exchange, ramming an enemy without "Solar Blaze" active could refresh the buff's cooldown.

Make the leviathan challenging somewhat

As of right now, the leviathan is PURELY meteors and charging, and also spawn a bit of tiny enemies. I think there’s every bit of wrong in a VERY big fishy that can only do 2 actual attacks. Sure, you’re fighting a whole 2 bosses, but even then, many would agree the fight is still very easy compared to what is to be expected from a really sick looking boss. Give her 1 or 2 more attacks, preferably an attack that isn’t easy to dodge, then I see the boss fight not being boring for leviathans part, and maybe even making the player take a couple losses from them. Another thing, is to buff the damage from her charge attack. I feel it simply doesn’t do enough damage for a big hunk of meat being thrown at you with killing intent. In fact, it’s very simple to dodge this attack, so making one slight mistake should punish you big time for it.

**Give Crabulon a small shockwave when he jumps up to you to make the fight a bit more exciting**

Crabulon is already a fun fight, however that doesn't mean that it can't get more improvement. Currently his jump up to platform attack serves little threat as his landing spot can easily be manipulated to not hit the player. Adding a shockwave type attack would give players a small shock in which they would think that the attack is easy to dodge but then the shockwave comes by surprise. Overall this could add a lot to an already fun fight.

In rev+ when he summons a wall of shrooms that fall on the player he shouldn't do a shockwave since that would be hard to dodge and there is already an attack there which adding more to isn't needed.

**Lower the Fire Rate of Leviathan's Meteor Glob Projectiles and make them Home in while Anahita isn't Attacking**

With the reworked Leviathan and Anahita fight in the newest update, Anahita leaves the battle for portions of the fight, leaving the player to fight Leviathan on her own. However, without Anahita also attacking, Leviathan's pattern (shoot meteor globs for a bit, stand still for a moment and spawn some enemies, charge at the player horizontally, repeat) is pretty boring and incredibly easy to dodge, especially since dodging it requires the exact same movement pattern every time, despite the fact that fighting Leviathan by herself takes up a lot of time in the fight.

-The first attack (meteor globs) takes up most of the time in the pattern, and can be avoided by just flying up or falling. Even if you run out of flight time while ascending and Leviathan is still shooting at you, it's pretty simple to dodge between the projectiles teleport past them with the Rod of Discord. The player doesn't have to move horizontally at all.
-The second attack (enemies) isn't very important, since it doesn't do much and doesn't last long. Within the context of this change, the only thing that's important about it is that it also doesn't force horizontal movement.
-The third attack (horizontal charge) adds a bit of variety to the pattern, but it's pretty simple to dodge. The safest way being moving up or down while moving left or right (depending on which side of you the Leviathan is on), but it's still very uninteresting and can be avoided with just one motion.

If the meteor glob projectiles homed in on the player, it would force them to move horizontally to avoid them. It would also mean the dash could hit the player if they aren't paying attention and run into it while dodging the projectiles. Plus, homing projectiles force a varied movement pattern, making the player pay attention to the projectiles in order to dodge them rather than just following in a set pattern.

A trait that carried over from vanilla is one I don't fully understand when comparing these bosses to the Hive Mind and Perforators, where the Eater and Brain despawn if the player strays too far from the biomes during the fights. This is especially evident for the Eater, since you'd be jumping so high avoiding it's many projectiles in Rev+ that it often despawns and makes the battle anticlimactic or frustrating. A solution? Give them an enraged or invincible state similar to the aforementioned Hive bosses, where they won't despawn if the player strays too far from the biome, but rather become slightly stronger or completely invulnerable until the player returns to the biome.

Currently, melee is the only class without a unique post-Plantera (or Calamitas) armor set.

Ranger has Shroomite post-Plantera.
Mage has Spectre post-Plantera, and Brimflame post-Calamitas
Summoner has Spooky and Tiki post-Plantera, and Fathom Swarmer post-Calamitas
Rogue has Umbraphile post-Plantera or post-Calamitas

This makes sense in vanilla, as melee is the only class with a post-Golem armor set, Beetle (excluding the OOA armor sets). However, in Calamity, the ranger has Plague Reaper armor, and the summoner has Plaguebringer armor, both post-Golem, giving melee less of an advantage. With these armor sets available, it doesn't make much sense to give melee a disadvantage post-Plantera.

I feel like it'd help to round out post-Mech to post-Plantera/post-Calamitas progression if a unique armor set for melee was implemented at this stage in progression. Reaver, an all-class armor, gives melee less interesting options, as every other class has different playstyles (especially mage- extreme damage to enemies but also to the player (Brimflame), or reduced damage + healing to the player (Spectre Hood)

**Make the ability from the deathhail staff distinct from prismatic armor.**

The prismatic armor has a set bonus that rains down projectiles from the sky. These projectiles are identical to the deathhail staff except for damage. This makes both the armor and the weapon less interesting and unique. Giving the deathhail staff an unique ability would make both of these items more unique.

**Reduce the *acceleration* that Death Mode DoG gets for its charges, or otherwise give DoG a *meaningful indication* of it telegraphing its attacks.**

I am aware that Death Mode is supposed to be the hardest difficulty setting. I am aware that DoG is supposed to be hard.. but, Death Mode Devourer of Gods has become infamous for the majority of its difficulty coming from it just being cheap. The 1-hit-kill head would be a considerable threat on its own, but due to its charges allowing it to essentially turn on a dime at a thousand miles per hour instantly, the player can easily be OHKO'd by an attack that they could not have possibly seen coming, or meaningfully tried to avoid.

I wouldn't argue for these charges to be removed, but I would argue that the acceleration DoG gets for them should be significantly reduced; at the very least, this would allow the player to see these charges coming, and prepare. As DoG is now, it is simply not fun to fight due to just how easily it can blindside you unless you are very, very lucky.

**Add a pure rogue "Elemental" tier weapon, with stealth strikes and everything.**

This is purely to give rogue (and to the intended extent, stealth rogue) a bit more variety in early post ML.

Consider this: melee has 4 (and a half) "Elemental" variants, which is the most amount of "Elemental" tier weapons amongst classes. Summoner only has one, Elemental Axe, which is decent, but still lacks option.

But rogue doesn't even have a dedicated "Elemental" weapon. The only thing it has shares its concept with melee, and ends up being a botched version of a rogue weapon.

In vanilla, the Black Lens is already a very low drop rate item, so a slightly more difficult recipe would balance the difficulty, making it not too hard, and not too easy to obtain.

Have the Subsuming Vortex have its old attack as a primary fire and have its current attack be a secondary right click option.

While the new SSV is nice, I do miss the old attack due to its usefulness against bosses. But, we should not let the current SSV attack go to waste. Instead we should give the SSV the same treatment the Photoviscerator got in Rust and Dust and give it multiple attack options. So we can have its pre-1.4.5 fire be its main attack and have the current attack be its secondary right click option. This can help by not forcing us to have to use the current attack (which by the way drops frames) and make the SSV as a whole an interesting weapon to use in the game!

***Add a rebirth animation for Yharon’s transition to the second phase***

As the yharon fight stands, it’s a straightforward battle that shifts into a battle with more patterns. The transition between the two is a 10 second long invincibility phase for the boss, and simply doesn’t give the second phase justice. What I propose is a sort of reference to how a Phoenix is reborn. This could be modified to its own version, but the process of emerging from the ashes is all too fitting for the fight. There could even be a bullet hell-like wave of fire projectiles coming off of yharon as he rises back from the ashes, rather than the cluttered spread of homing projectiles in the current phase.

**Better multiplayer scaling**

There is a sharp difficulty curve i’ve noticed between multiplayer and solo gameplay. I like calamity because of its hard skill based gameplay but the problem is that if you got a friend you do way too much dps and dying isn’t very punishing. Especially with the faster death cooldown you can immediately get back in the action with a wormhole and cheese the boss. Something that would usually take twice as long to kill and many more tries is way too easy in multiplayer, which kinda dulls the fun and difficulty of it. Theres also the problem where if a certain boss targets the other player it gets kinda hard to dodge their attacks like providence or yharon. Maybe there should be better scaling? or some item that makes it harder for multiplayer? at this point in time it honestly feels like for me that its way too easy to kill bosses and progress and stuff.

**Separate the majority of Calamity's QoL changes into a separate mod, and cut away those which are made redundant by the existence of other mods.**

❔
Calamity has historically had a long-ass list of vanilla changes it employs to make the game easier --- however, a lot of people may not actually want a lot of these changes, may want an experience closer to vanilla, or may have other mods installed that already accomplish things which Calamity tries to and accomplishes them better. Shifting Calamity's QoL changes into a separate mod would encourage people to actually use other mods (a common thing in modding scenes), give much more freedom to customize the experiences especially if combined with config abuse, and would help establish what Calamity's focus is: content and more things to do.

"Why not make it a config?"
Why not separate it and then give the separated mod configs for all the different changes/effects? Half of the configs in question would require reloading mods anyway and having it in a separate mod would arguably make it easier to keep things organized in the configurations menu.

**A non-consumable item that toggles events from naturally occuring on/off**

Calamity adds the sulphuric rain, which occurs basically every once every four to five days on average. It can be toggled off by holding the broken water filter in the player's inventory, but that requires constantly using an inventory slot for that. The acid rain, combined with the solar eclipses, blood moons, goblin invasions, martian madness, and pirate invasions, means that there is almost always an event going on. I suggest some form of non-consumable item that disables the natural spawns of the above events (and in the case of the martian madness, disables the spawn of the probe). Between all these events (not including martian madness), there is almost a whopping 40% chance for some form of event to occur per day. Sometimes players want to play the game without being harassed by events constantly.

**Change Ravager's laser to better fit the fight's theme**

When Ravager's head gets destroyed or before the second phase, he will start to shoot eight lasers out of his body, those being the exact same that Golem shoots during his fight. The problem is simple, he shouldn't do this. The lasers are from a old version of the Mod and Lore, where the Ravager had connections with the Lihzard race, but since this has been scrapped and his Lore and Sprite had been changed, the lasers didn't. What I suggest is changing the sprite of the lasers, maybe for a bloody bullet or something blood related, since many of his drops has this theme and none of his attacks has to do with blood. I also suggest a slight rework on the attack, to better fit the new sprite.

**Change Providence's Coccon phase ending**

To clarify: Currently, the way this phase ends is that a message is displayed saying "The air is burning...", which I bielieve is very nice and all. However, should you fight her multiple times because Armageddon, farming etc., your chat is completely filled with those messages when you open it up. Also, if you desync/lag for a second/anything that makes you forget where you are in fight can cause you to become chaotic in your dodges because you are not sure when the phase ends.
Possible solution:
Instead of displaying a message after a timer, make a large ring of faintly glowing projectiles spawn and rotate around the player, much like Polterghast's mines. The shorter the time until the end of coccon phase, the closer should they come to player, eventually erupting on player's head in small, non-damaging explosion.
This would make the lags not matter alot in fight, as these projectiles would be synced with Providence anyways.
This would also make sense in regard of inflicting Icarus's Folly debuff: Providence could be seen as literally sending small flames at player to burn their wings and take away their mobility.

**Change the Calamity Health Bar visually so it slides down instead of jumping down**

The Calamity Health Bar is, as many of you probably know, inspired by / a reference to the health bar from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. However, one difference between the two when it comes to visuals is how the bar itself moves.

The Calamity Health Bar does not do this, but rather instantly jumps down (more visible when using high-damage weapons) (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/542409970520555524/752216466169921667/Clam_Health_Bar_example.gif).

**Make Flamsteed Ring fly on left click if attack is disabled (Bottom Bracket setting)**

As of present, the left click is assigned to do nothing if the Ring's UI is set to the bottom bracket setting. This could be instead set up so that if Andromeda cannot attack, it can instead go jet mode, making fast travel and flight with the mech a little easier.
Of course, left click to fly would be only possible in Small Mech mode, and only if Jet is enabled; in other words, Andromeda's attack functions take precedence over it's jet functions, and if it can attack, left click cannot make it go jet mode.
If it is difficult to make this work, another alternative would be assigning a hotkey to the Andromeda jet, like the backslash button.
I believe making this a feature would get rid of the hassle of fiddling with the UI in the heat of a boss battle, making dodging easier as a result. And also, because trying to press the button in the ring interface doesn't always seem to work.

**Make the Genesis pickaxe viable for crafting the Crystyl Crusher**

This, to me, is sort of a no-brainer. So, you have set of items you make from celestial fragments and Luminite bars, right? These include the Solar, Vortex, Nebula, and Stardust armor sets and associated weapons/tools. In calamity, of course, we have a 5th class, rogue. Rogue users get an armor set in this tier, Empyrean Armor (which looks incredible, by the way), crafted from Meld Constructs. The meld set of items also has an associated pickaxe, the Genesis pickaxe, which is meant to serve as a direct parallel to the other 4 lunar pickaxes. Well, in order to craft the Crystyl Crusher, you need the Blossom Pickaxe and a lunar pickaxe. But, despite the original four lunar pickaxes all being viable in this recipe, the Genesis pickaxe isn't. Since the Genesis pickaxe is meant to serve as a direct parallel to these other picks, it only makes sense that it would work in the recipe as well.

**Replace the automatic Mechworm buff granted by Auric Tesla Armor's summoner variant with something that just gives the Mechworm a damage buff equal to +1 extra minion slot's worth of length.**

❓ When you get the Auric Tesla Armor for the first time, the idea is that the very next boss you fight is Supreme Calamitas. However, the summoner version, while good, has downsides to it that the other versions don't have that impact Summoner particularly heavily. The mechworm is an example of this. The problem with the mechworm, as a set bonus, is that it forces you to have the mechworm as an active summon even if you don't want to use it. This means that it takes up a buff slot, something in very short supply around the time you get to Scal, given she inflicts 3 debuffs on top of the numerous buffs you'll have already.

This impacts Summoner especially heavily, because if you have too many buffs, it'll automatically delete buffs at random.. including your summons, which means that you then have to not only notice that your summons are gone, you then have to scramble and focus on resummoning them rather than paying attention to the bullet hell.

Quite frankly, if anyone just coming into hardmode can survive the deluge of mobs it'll dump on them, I'd say they deserve the rewards it'd bring them. Replacing the cores with chaotic essence would make it require most of the same hardships, but open it up as an option for post-WoF; early hardmode is a time to scramble for newly available resources, after all.

**Emote suggestion**

:AreYouSerious:

when we are in a conversation and someone says something which is very weird or when someone is baffled by someone's words in a conversation, people are most likely to use bruh . there are not many other emotes that expresses the same expression as bruh , there are some more, they are not that good that expressing that "What" feeling properly, so i think this emote will be a good edition. This emote is also good at expressing the confused and depressed feeling at the same time, which bruh cannot do properly as it only expresses the “what” feeling but not depressed and sad feeling, or even an “angry” feeling if you use it in the right conversation, which agian, bruh cannot achieve as it only expresses one feeling.

( also please crop the gray background out if you add this emote from the picture i just not able to figure out how to do it without making the picture look worse )

**Make it so we can see if a boss is enraged**

It happened to me more than once, that I struggled with a boss for seemingly no appearent reason until I realized the arena I built wasn't "enrage proof".
I can imagine this could be really frustrating for new players. You could think a boss is extremely hard when it's actually just enraged and you'll never know.
A solution would be to make the boss health bar on fire if the boss is enraged or a small "debuff" icon could fix that too.

**Increase the drop amount of plague cell canisters**

Plague cell canisters are primarily used to craft the abombination. Once the player can reliably beat the PBG, plague cells are easy to get. But until that point, plague cells are difficult to grind in large quantities. In higher difficulty modes, when players can need potentially hundreds (or even thousands!) of plague cell canisters to craft abombinations, this can take hours and hours of grinding, even with spawn rates being boosted by potions/candles/blood moons/etc. Given Calamity's desire to reduce grinding, this seems to not fit with the rest of the mod.

**Increase the amount of buff slots**

Right now, buff slots are a major problem in Calamity. Calamity adds so many new buffs and many bosses inflict debuffs. Combining all of this and summon slots and more(idk) and the 22 buff slots limit is a problem. However, I(and Feezah) feel like having too many buff slots earlier in the game is unnecessary. Instead, perhaps a permanent power-up mid-late hardmode, which is when you need as many buff slots as possible.

Coin of Deceit feels extremely awful at the moment. All it does is increasing rogue critical strike chance by 6% at an exchange of a precious accessory slot in pre-Hardmode. Buffing the accessory can make it a bit more worth to consider for rogue instead of just being a filler.

Raising critical strike chance value and adding an effect which slightly increases stealth critical strike chance scaling.
Rogue critical hits having a chance to drop coins, guaranteed on stealth strikes.

But this is massively less effective on stealth strikes, as it's oriented with slow, precise and burst damage most of the time instead of rapid constant damage.

**Change the Thunderstorm to be dropped by Storm Weaver instead of Cloud Elemental, and not buff Cloud Elemental post-Providence.**

Thunderstorm is a post-Providence weapon and a rare variant of Plasma Rifle. It doesn't make sense that "The calamitous beings have been inundated with bloodstone." and "Fossilized tree bark is bursting through the jungle's mud.", and there is no mention of Cloud Elemental being affected. Her stats is buffed, but she isn't a 'calamitous' being, and doesn't resemble one. Another reason is Storm Weaver is a sky-space being, and its attack summon lightning bolt, similar to Thunderstorm. It is also the only Sentinel that doesn't drop a RIV item. Ceaseless Void has The Evolution, Signus has Guidelight of Oblivion. Making this change will add consistency to progression for Sentinels-tier bosses.

However, this specific emotion is rather underrepresented in our current selection of emotes, as most of the suitable emotes for such an event display pain rather than anger. bruh or suffering is probably the most likely candidate for something like this right now, but it doesn't quite express anger/frustration as aptly as :hage: does.

Change the texture of all minions summoned by the auric Tesla armor set.

The auric Tesla armor is the 2nd most powerful armor set in the game. To make you will need almost all post moon lord armor sets to craft it.
With that being said, why don't we change the minions and give them a different texture so they can look powerful and match the armor that summoned them by itself?

**Add a sort of portal or effect where Yharon would teleport and fire out his fireballs**

Yharon has an attack where he teleports somewhere without warning and ends up sniping you with either contact damage, fireballs, or both. It feels like cheap hits, and some sort of effect where he teleports like Brimmy or Signus would help make his attacks less cheap. Maybe instead of the effect lasting quite long like Brimstone Elemental's teleport it would last only a split second as a warning, meaning you'd still have to pay attention.
TL;DR - When Yharon teleports, give a warning for it

**Make Lunatic Cultist much stronger when entering Hardmode for the first time, and make it weaker until it's current state the more progression bosses the player killed in HM (e.g. Mechs, Plantera and Golem).**

(Credits to @unborn willow for the idea) Currently you can sequence break Cultist by using Eidolon Tablet, which drops from Eidolists since early HM. Non-linearity is a common concept in the progression of Calamity, allowing players to take on later bosses with current, lower tier gear to jump on progress. This usually would take a good feat to be done, since your equipment isn't as powerful as those who are fighting the bosses in the intended tier.

Sadly this is NOT the case for Lunatic Cultist. Lunatic Cultist isn't designed to be powerful in vanilla at its tier because Cultist is merely a segway into the Celestial Pillars, and thus, Moon Lord. Sequence breaking Cultist has a massive imbalance in the difficulty of the boss, and the rewards that come after that (Ancient Manipulator, Pillars and their Fragments).

Making Lunatic Cultist much powerful at early hardmode, and nerfing it whenever Mechs, Plantera and Golem are defeated (the primary HM boss progression before Cultist) would make sequence breaking Cultist earlier in the game much more risky, while keeping its current design on the intended tier of its fight.

When fighting the Perforators, it's extremely easy to use the time in between worm spawns to regenerate health/adrenaline creating a very forgiving fight. Adding an automatic "skip" to the next worm would make the fight less forgiving. The timer wouldn't count down while a worm is currently out on the field.

**Have the bloodstone cores be easier to craft**

creating bloodstone cores feels quite tedious and is a very slow process consider the amount of time you have to grind blood moons to get blood orbs, then grind in the dungeon to get phantoplasam, then kill brimstone bosses to finally craft some bloodstone cores.

It takes quite a while of this repetitive process to get bloodflare armor and a weapon to fight whatever boss is next, I think it takes too long and the recipe should either have more accessible easier to get items or have the items like blood orb be more common and can be found in other places instead of just during a blood moon.

It won’t be too much to change since bloodflare armor is only used for about 1 or 2 bosses before being replaced by better armor, which makes the grinding feel like an even bigger waste of time.

While the Bloodworm can be tedious to find, beating the event many times over is more so, especially if you’re struggling with OD (which is likely considering his difficulty). Adding a reward for enduring the Acid Rain would incentivise doing so instead of ignoring the event’s summoning of the boss.

**After coming out of a bullet hell, prevent SCal from shooting hellblasts immediately.**

Occasionally, when SCal is coming out of bullet hell invulnerability while in the phase where she follows the player vertically and shoots hellblasts, she immediately shoots a hellblast from her bullet hell position, which is often far away and not directly horizontal to the player. This often catches you off-guard, as you aren't expecting a hellblast from a non-horizontal angle, and since they speed up over time, these hellblasts are much more difficult to react to. These things combined result in a lot of cheap hits, which can be life-or-death in this fight. Therefore, SCal should be prevented from shooting hellblasts for a certain amount of time after she comes out of bullet hells. Perhaps this time period could be 1-2 seconds, or it could be until she levels out with the player, however long that takes.

the titan heart helmet allows rogue weapons to inflict the 'astral infection' debuff, but the tooltip of the helmet states that "rogue weapons spread the astral infection", which can be misleading for players new to the rogue class and this armour set (myself included) as the tooltip suggests that rogue weapons spread the actual biome, converting tiles to their astral infection counterparts, rather than simply inflicting the debuff. this can turn new players away from the armour set unintentionally. an example of a simpler tooltip for the helmet is "rogue weapons inflict astral infection".

**Give the Brimstone Elemental a wider array of attacks.**

❔
A constant shared between the vast majority of modded bosses is that, for their respective points in progression, their attack roster is simply too small --- and the Brimstone Elemental is no exception. She's supposedly been repeatedly buffed because she's "too easy" or something along those lines, but given that series of buffs I believe it's safe to assume the issue isn't in statistics or speed. The Brimstone Elemental's attack pattern goes as follows:

Follow the player (do laser phase below a certain health threshold in Rev+) ---> Hover around/near the player while firing brimstone fireballs and stuff ---> Go into a cocoon phase and fire some circles of projectiles ---> Rinse and repeat.

This is much more simple than any description of it can express, no matter how fast she is; as such, the player is very easily able to dodge her after a very short learning phase involving knowing her attack pattern and when each subphase starts and ends. This simply doesn't suit a boss in Hardmode, early or otherwise, as it's a point in the game where things should become definitively harder to contend with. Expanding her arsenal to include a wider variety of attacks, and diversifying her attacking pattern to match, would potentially make her much more unique and bring her more up to speed with the difficulty that a Hardmode boss should entail.

Give the perfs an attack to circumvent cheese, like have the hive fire different projectiles that home or something loke that after the first worm spawns, and buff the worms attack damage so theyre more of a threat, and make the hive invincible whenever any worm is out rather than the last one.

**Prevent SCal From Shooting Brimstone Hellblasts at Players unless she is Directly in Front of/Behind Them**

In other words, SCal shouldn't be able to shoot at you unless she has the same Y position.

❔ Whenever SCal transitions into shooting Hellblasts at you, she aligns herself with your Y position and moves to your left or right incredibly quickly (dealing no contact damage as she does so) in order to shoot Hellblasts at you head-on.
However, attacks like the Brimstone Darts don't have her aligned with the player at all, and when she begins firing Hellblasts, she will do so immediately. If SCal is far enough away from the player when she transitions to the Hellblast attack, she will often shoot at you while moving towards you, and just like all the other Hellblasts she fires, it's aimed directly at the player. This creates a diagonal shot, which moves and accelerates just as fast as the normal Hellblasts (and does the same amount of damage). It's not telegraphed in any way, and since SCal is far away from you when she fires it, it will have accelerated to lightspeed by the time it's on-screen. These diagonal shots are also present if you use the Rod of Discord or Normality Relocator to teleport away from SCal while she's shoolting Hellblasts, and are almost as unpredictable and cheap. This is probably the only time a cheat hit is present in SCal's fight, and can be very frustrating considering it will deal more damage than a healing potion can mend on higher difficulties.
If SCal didn't fire Hellblasts unless she was already locked onto the player's Y position, it probably wouldn't make any noticeable difference in the fight, since all of the other Hellblasts are completely head-on with the player.

**Add in a way to breathe in the Abyss without downside, either by allowing the Effigy of Decay to grant you breathing in it after killing a certain boss, or add in an upgrade to the Effigy.**

Currently, there's no safe way to breathe in the Abyss without having to take unimaginable amounts of damage. And while vanilla does have biomes you can't have enemies in, mainly the Corruption and Crimson, it's moreso an exception and not a rule. You can even live in the Underworld or the Dungeon if you want to. Calamity can also allow you to live in its biomes, even in the Brimstone Crag, yet the Abyss does not let you. And while it is realistic that you can't live in the abyssal depths, Terraria isn't a game known in its realism (again, you can live in the Underworld). As for why it would be a good idea, it would allow people to get more creative with their bases or buildings, and allowing people to be creative doesn't hurt anybody.

**Revise and expand upon the implementation of weapon variants on the whole, such as melee/rogue weapon variants.**

❔
These things, as they are right now, aren't too terribly interesting and tend to heavily decrease weapon variety throughout a playthrough. Most noticeable in this department is the wide array of melee/rogue variants scattered throughout the mod, which add plenty of ways to make you question if rogue is melee or melee is rogue at basically every stage of the game. However, the concept itself is highly interesting and, if given the proper love and care, could blossom into a way to increase weapon variety at a tier without necessarily needing to create entirely new weapons --- this could also be a neat way to introduce concepts that will likely never be seen in-game otherwise.

Some ways to help to diversify and streamline the implementation of variants, for examples, would be to:

Allow variants of the same weapon to be crafted between one another for a price at a certain crafting station.
Allow other classes to get in on that variant goodness as well, rather than melee and rogue getting all the love.
Allow variants of the same weapon to function differently (let rogue variants have stealth strikes, god damnit, if they won't then what's the point).
Expand upon Aether's Whisper's approach --- make a weapon have a left-click and right-click corresponding to certain classes, with different functions based on the mode being used.

Auric is understandable, as it is meant to be a godly resource close to the end of the game that would not make sense to be caught from a crate ore dropped by an enemy. Additionaly, a large amount of auric ore spawns in the world in large veins, making it easy to collect. However, hellstone is a sparse pre-hardmode ore used in a lot of recipes throughout the game. Allowing it to drop from brimstone crates would allow an infinite supply, as well as making it farmable.

The Calamity mod adds a crafting recipe for a truffle worm, the item used to summon duke fishron.

A bloodworm summons the Old Duke, and is functionally identical to a truffle worm in how it is obtained, minus the crafting recipe.

Rework the astral bulwark.

Astrum deus’s expert drop, the astral bulwark, is currently quite useless. This accessory grants immunity to the astral infection debuff and causes stars to fall from the sky when you get hit. The astral infection immunity is good for mining astral ore and farming astrum deus, but serves little purpose outside of that. The stars are spawned on hit are pretty unreliable, as they miss a lot. The fact that they only appear on player hit also heavily limits their effectiveness. It’s not remotely worth it when you could just slap in an emblem to increase dps much more reliably, and likely by a higher amount. To give this accessory increased utility, give it additional effects or change its current ones so it’s more effective in combat.

Along with that, some previous shrines did get changed to be more interesting (mainly what used to be the Underworld shrine that had the Murasama now being one of Draedon's labs), so it wouldn't be out of question for the Terminus shrine to get a visual upgrade. Moving it to the ground at the very bottom of the Abyss could be good enough, though changing the structure to look more grand to better show that it's the mod's endgame would make reaching the complete depths of the area feel more rewarding.

Calamity Mod fixes this by adding the Sandy and Bleached Fishing Kit, but they require boss kills, and can be very grindy when trying to get them at the stage in the game when fighting one of the scourges is a priority. If they are craftable it can negate this issue, but they should be a bit tedious to craft too, or this would negate the purpose of the fishing kits.

Buff enraged golem

I was doing a death mode playthrough, and got stuck at golem, so I tried fighting the enraged version(as everyone would do in vanilla). But of course, Calamity would definitely buff it. So I tried different methods online. And there's one just super cheesy. It's just building two skybridge and kite it. I legitimately beat golem no-hit, and then I farmed golem with armageddon. So what I think is that Calamity should buff the enraged version even more, by giving the golem like a semi-home-in attack. That would definitely making it much harder to cheese the boss.

**Make the time in between the Boss Rush Bosses keep your adrenaline/rage**

What does this mean? Well, in Revengeance+, as long as you don't get hit in a boss fight, you will gain adrenaline. Once the bar is full you can activate adrenaline to get an insane damage boost. However, it only charges when a boss is alive. And the times in between bosses doesn't count. So your adrenaline will start going down, and you can lose 1/2 of your adrenaline just like that. Fixing this so that adrenaline will stay/increase during the intermissions will help revengeance players, because adrenaline is a powerful mechanic. The same can be said for rage, which is gained by taking damage.

**Buff on-player hit effects in general.**

Many armors and accessories give certain effects when the player gets hit. However, these effects tend to be quite weak compared to the damage a hit does. The first type of effect is thorns effects. Thorns effects are generally quite useless due to being weak. They generally don't even reflect the same damage the player takes, and they only reflect contact damage. They need a signifcant buff to do anything noticable in helping the player.

The second type are projectiles summoned when the player gets hit. This is more practical because it effects enemeies that shoot projectiles. However, these effects suffer from either being too weak or too unreliable. Take the og porjectile on-hit, the star from the star viel, present in many calamity accessories. These stars do only 30 damage, and can miss. Other effects, such as the ranger daedalus set bonus, with causes projectiles to spray from the player on-hit, also suffer from this problem. Even effects that do hit can be underwhelming, such as the god slayer melee set bonus, which causes the player to spawn homing projectiles that do 6400 damage total. This sounds pretty good until you think about jsut how much hp yharon has.

The third type of on-hit effect is buffs such as panic and reaver rage. Reaver rage, as well as empyrean rage and wrath, suffer from being weak. 5% melee damage and speed for 3 seconds on hit just doesn't matter at all. Panic buffs are also questionable due to movement speed being a weak stat, but can help you recover after a hit a bit. Overall, there are only a couple of on-player hit effects that are worth it. The bloody boost from blood pact, true melee boost from hide of astrum deus, and the reflection from all the evolution are quite strong. This shows that on-player hit effects could be strong, but they need buffs to be so.

**Remove the time-based DPS cap on bosses.**

Clarification: https://calamitymod.gamepedia.com/Damage_Reduction#Reactive_Damage_Reduction

❔
It simply doesn't work well in Terraria's context, primarily due to the nature of the game and the nature of games like The Binding of Isaac, which the mechanic is based upon, as well as Calamity's hyperfocus on nonlinearity.
Here's an in-depth explanation as to why.

I played against scal and confirmed that the brimstone fireblasts/gigablasts during the bullet hell phases can do damage to you before exploding which is pretty annoying since they home in on the player out of nowhere which caused a lot of cheap hits most of the time, not to mention even if you somehow manage to dodge them they will explode near to you which leaves little room to dodge when you're already trying to carefully focus on dodging the brimstone skulls that spawns near to you too, so I propose to nerf it so they don't do damage before exploding or reduce the speed of them homing in on the player too

**add a boss and enemy damage config to go with the boss hp config**

I like the mechanics of modes like rev and death, but don’t like the massively increased difficulty. If there were a config option to change enemy stats by some multiplier to make it easier but still fair, I think the mod would be a lot more fun for more people. You don’t necessarily need to put a bunch of work into balancing this, instead you could have notes saying things like “the default values are balanced around Rev mode. Set them between x and y to make the game easier but still fair”. Only an enemy/boss damage slider would need to be added, but the notes would be best if they applied to both the hp and damage sliders.
Edit: the HP scaling should be allowed to go down by a bit instead of just up, for the same difficulty options reason mentioned. Even if these have a lower limit, I think it would still make the mod more enjoyable to more people.

**give a reward or a higher SPHC drop rate when using the Draedons remote**

The Draedon's remote in my opinion is kinda useless at the moment since it just makes the mech bosses harder with no reward other than basic drops. It is also post Plantera which makes it even more irrelevant as you could just fight the normal versions and get the same loot, if it was given a reward, such as a higher SPHC drop rate, increased drops or even expert items in a non expert world i think it would be used much more. It also looks great and has a good concept so i'd love to see it have a use other than making more of a challenge. The SPHC is also a very rare and kind of grindy weapon so it would be nice if you could get it easier as it is a very useful weapon.

***Nerf the Midnight Sun Beacon UFO's fire rate, but buff its damage.***

The Midnight Sun UFO is an excellent weapon, feasible for use against both Yharon and Supreme Calamitas. However, there is one key issue with it; due to the amount of bullets it spews out, on less capable computers, it can cause substantial lag. As this dramatically increases the difficulty of both fights, I found them to be less than worthless as a result. Such a change would resolve this issue to an extent.

In Deathmode worm become twice as long and split like the eater of worlds. this i a great design idea but this does cause some problems. The amount of entities that are killed and the lag it creates with the gores can be a problem. The sunken sea is hard to access due to the amount of worms that spawn there and with their double lenght, in hardmode those worms can bring your frames down by a good degree. and not to talk about that each segment counts as their own seperate entity so you can get their banners much faster than normal, this also applies to any other worm entity.
Could it be possible that you could add a split cap, or atleast dont double their lenghts.

**Remove Or Change The Panic Necklace's Buff from Deific Amulet and Rampart of Deities**

The speed bonus isn't necessary at the stage of the game you obtain those accessories since you already have a lot of mobility by then. The panic necklace speed buff is especially really unnecessary in endgame as it takes up one slot for the buff/debuff cap which is annoying because it overrides one of the buffs you already have. I propose a change to increase player damage or life regen which would seem more fitting to something that involves after getting struck and wanting to recover from it or just remove the buff entirely from the two specific accessories I mentioned

One of the common reasons for someone to be given "Warned" role is because they constantly posted memes. This would've been a good thing to stop those people since "Warned" role removes image and embed permissions.

But another (uncommon) problem arises. People with "Warned" role can still use emotes externally. Which means that they can still post relatively memey, out of context emojis, which defeats the point of being warned in the first place.

Removing external emoji permission on "Warned" role would most likely close up this loophole, as they could do is sending embed-less links.

Exodus Wings is a perfect example of what Pillar-themed Wings should be, around post-Cultist with a post-Plantera material. Changing crafting of these other wings would make it a bit more relevant as they wouldn't be overshadowed by Seraph Tracers, which is usually the best choice around early post-ML.

Tattered fairy gives 5% damage and crit at all times. This is the most direct example of it getting outclassed, but it is also beaten by steampunk and mothron wings. If you look in the in game stats, you will note that the hadal mantle has a higher acceleration multiplier. However, when I tested the wings, I noticed absolutely no difference between the 2 in accelleration. Both reached their max speed at the same time, when fly vertically and horizontally.

**Add a Unholy Essence to the Galactica Singularity Recipe, and Change its Name/Appearance**

❔ When you first enter post-Moonlord, almost all of the weapons can be crafted with items that can be obtained from Moonlord or bosses/events/areas/etc. before him. The player never has to encounter the new enemies post-Moonlord until they're as adequately equipped to fight them as they can be until post-Providence. This doesn't really force them to explore or experience the changes after Moonlord, which feels like (and is supposed to feel like) a huge milestone that changes the world, akin to Wall of Flesh.

The only items that DON'T use post-Moonlord materials that use Galactica Singularities are the Astral Beacon and Grand Guardian, whose recipes can be modified. Other than that, there's no reason why including Unholy Essence in Galactica Singularities isn't possible, since everything else is also post-Moonlord. This would mean that the player has to actually go out and explore the world after beating Moonlord instead of just crafting for ten minutes, which makes beaten the boss seem more impactful and world-changing.

Obviously, Unholy Essence doesn't really fit into the theme of the Galactica Singularity in its current state, so respriting and/or renaming it would make sense.

**Nerf the Health of Profaned Enemies**

❔ Because you don't need to encounter them until you've gotten post-moonlord gear and weaponry, profaned enemies are designed in such a way that pre-Providence gear isn't strong enough for them not to be a major threat. Building an arena for Providence/Profaned Guardians takes a while (and is required on pretty much every difficulty. at least for Providence), and during that time, you'll always have to deal with profaned enemies. They'll always take up at least 40% of the time making an arena, even with the most optimized pre-Providence gear, which gets really irritating after a while. Should their health be nerfed, it would mean that the time spent preparing for Providence would be drastically less tiresome.

**Add a chance for the Sentinels of the Devourer to spawn in their respective locations after Moon Lord has been defeated, and adjust the description of Rune of Kos.**

?

Currently, the sentinels of the devourer can only be summoned through the Rune of Kos, with each boss having to be fought in either Space, the Underworld, or the Dungeon. This can be confusing to newer players however, as the description merely states “in certain areas of the world”. It’s impossible to really know what this means without trial and error, or just looking it up. I would suggest not only changing the description to be more precise, but also adding a chance of a unique “Something is approaching” effect when entering a sentinel area post-ml. This would allow players to catch a glimpse of the sentinels without having to first defeat providence, and adds more ways for bosses to naturally spawn.

Even without that limiting factor, the downgrade of individual components when combining (from worm scarf's 10% damage and DR to just 7% and 5%, respectively, even with other items that do similar effects, such as the bloodflare core, which also boosts those stat).

As of Rust and Dust update, The Amalgam is slightly buffed. Said buff makes the Fungal Clump from the accesory leave the poisoned seawater, instead of the player doing so.

Problem is, due to how the Clump behaves and the short overall range of the seawater from the Clump, your movement is really limited to the Clump's if you want to gain most of Amalgam's benefits.

Increasing the lingering duration of the seawater would help the player with having more freedom in movement, while also benefitting from an already underwhelming post-DoG accessory.

Sometimes, you need to express your displeasure at something frustrating, such as dying to a boss in the last phase. However, this specific emotion is rather underrepresented in our current selection of emotes, as most of the suitable emotes for such an event display pain rather than anger. bruh or suffering is probably the most likely candidate for something like this right now, but it doesn't quite express anger/frustration as aptly as :hage: does.

Doing this can easily let them build up massive amounts of sand, destroy platforms, and make a massive mess since you cant even fight them. Running away only makes them spit more and more, while this may be game design to say "don't go to the desert early" it can still mess with the biome and make it an annoying exploration, destroy structures, and keep making messes if they spawn somewhere you cant attack it at all. Just due to this i think the first few attacks could spawn sand but maybe after 3-4 the attack no longer spawns sand (no idea if this is already a feature i checked the wiki and saw nothing on a limit)

**Worm Type Mini-Bosses such as Armored Diggers or Cosmic Guardians should be visible on the minimap**

whenever the spawn, the players should always prioritize on them since they are "mini-bosses" but the problem is that they aren't visible on the minimap so it's hard to tell where they are especially for players with smaller screen sizes. The obvious route is to use the minimap to find where they are EXCEPT they aren't visible on the minimap

**Change the Thunderstorm to be dropped by Storm Weaver instead of Cloud Elemental, and not buff Cloud Elemental post-Providence.**

Thunderstorm is a post-Providence weapon and a rare variant of Plasma Rifle. It doesn't make sense that "The calamitous beings have been inundated with bloodstone." and "Fossilized tree bark is bursting through the jungle's mud.", and there is no mention of Cloud Elemental being affected. Her stats is buffed, but she isn't a 'calamitous' being, and doesn't resemble one. Without the status message related to Cloud Elemental, the player won't know to check her.

Another reason is Storm Weaver is a sky-space being, and its attack summon lightning bolt, similar to Thunderstorm. It is also the only Sentinel that doesn't drop a RIV item. Ceaseless Void has The Evolution, Signus has Guidelight of Oblivion. Making this change will add consistency to progression for Sentinels-tier bosses.

**Give all bosses a second or two of invincibility and no ability to inflict damage upon spawning**

As it stands, a few bosses already have similar functions. There are, however, a few bosses that don't have this function. That means that bosses that charge at the player right off the bat can do serious harm to the player almost instantly. Likewise, some bosses can have decent chunks of health taken out in the initial moments of spawning. This would just make it consistent that bosses can't do major damage to players instantly and vice versa.

**Remove Distorted debuff from Slime God's Core and replace it with both debuffs applied by Ebonian and Crimulan Slimes (Weak and Cursed).**

Distorted is the pinnacle of unfun debuffs, locking your altitude and making life hell. There's no way to control it (unlike Confused), the only thing to negate it is post-Aureus (Gravity Normalizer buff), and even with Bundle of Balloons or Hooks, your movement is still severely limited.

Additionally, a recent community voting about hardest Calamity bosses made by Fabsol, as of this suggestion, has Slime God at #6 as seen by 515 people. (Voting in question: https://www.strawpoll.me/20964731)

Removing the debuff from SG core and replacing it with Weak and Cursed would make the boss overall less annoying and slightly more bearable to fight against.

**Make SCal projectiles despawn after being off-screen, outside of the arena, or just for existing for a certain amount of time**

I find it annoying how whenever I fight scal, the chat gets flooded with "(NPC) was slain". One way to fix this is to make it so the projectiles despawn after some time, so stray projectiles don't wander all the way over to people's towns. This would be a minor improvement but it would definitely make the fight less irritating in a way. The delay before despawning, of course, would be long enough that people could not exploit it easily somehow, although I don't see how they would in the first place.

Giving/replacing the Molten buff's effect with stuff like better stats or even adding synergy between its two attacks will make the buff more useful with the weapon.

After finishing a play through with two of my other friends I’ve realized how broken having more then one life can be. Devourer of Gods, Yharon and Supreme Calamitas all fell victim to our cheese tactics.

To help circumvent the power of multiplayer I have two suggestions.

1.) Add a toggle in mod options to disable teleporters and wormholes in bosses as they can entirely negate any walk back.
2.) Add a option in the mod to allow players to choose how long the respawn timer is. This will allow people who want a more casual experience to keep it at the normal amount or lower it. But will also let people who want more of a challenge in multiplayer to raise it higher up to 60 seconds.

some can only be stacked up to 30 at max especially the vanilla potions and the drunk princess's drinks but other calamity potions can stack up to 999, it's just more convenient to carry more in one slot than to keep refilling my inventory whenever one slot of the potions run out

Calamity already changed the stack sizes of Bombs, Dynamite, and literally all items with a stack size of 99

**Buff king slime lore.**

The king slime lore's benefits are pretty much non-existant currently. This lore gives 2% jump speed and 5% movement speed. Jump speed is a very good stat, increasing jump height and maximum vertical movement. However, a 2% buff is going to make a 1 mph difference at most, and might lead to no benefit due to rounding. The 5% movement speed is also pretty meaningless. Movement speed is a pretty weak stat in general, as it only increases acceleration while wearing boots. This can be useful in large amounts, but the 5% movement speed boost is a very small amount, even for early game. This lore require a buff in order to make a noticable difference. If it's needed, the downside could also be increased to make the trade-off more significant.

**Make Perfect Dark and Vein Burster, Leeching Dagger and Bloody Rupture, etc. not carbon copies of one another.**

❔
Despite being dropped from two very different bosses, several pairs of Hive Mind and Perfs weapons are functionally identical and differ only in appearance. You’d think they’d at least have some statistical differences, but there are none. To make them differ from each other in statistics (as Shadowdrop Staff and Blood Bath currently do) and perhaps functionality (or even having more weapons unique to one boss, such as Aorta and Shaderain Staff) would make each set feel more unique.

For reference, the pairs being targeted here are as follows:
Perfect Dark == Vein Burster
Leeching Dagger == Bloody Rupture
Dank Staff == Blood Clot Staff

**Make Some Lifesteal Slightly more like Vanilla**

I have noticed, that, while extremely potent, the lifesteal of certain weapons (such as the Illustrious Knives) heals you for very high amounts, but only once in a while.

If you look at the few lifestealing items in vanilla, you'll see that they offer less Healing but significantly faster than the Illustrious Knives or similar weapons.

My suggestion is to drastically reduce both the amount of Health healed by some Lifestealing Items, but also drastically reduce the cooldown. While less effective at one time, it is more effective overall since you now have constant healing rather than healing 100-200 HP at once.

This would also help make the Scarlet Devil less overpowered, since in my opinion it heals FAR too much health, even for a Stealth Strike.

Queen Bee Should Dash Less In Deathmode

I feel like Queen Bee needs to dash less and shoot stingers more. Queen Bee's dashes leave way too many openings to do a large amount of damage to her in a very short amount of time.

If Queen Bee instead shoots multiple stingers at once in quick succession, it would leave less openings to deal large amounts of damage to her, but also just make her more threatening overall.

Queen Bee's dashes should also be reduced to one or two very fast dashes, and if it hits you, it spawns multiple small bees to utilize the Marked for Death Debuff she inflicts.

**Make spawning a boss instantly despawn all existing enemies**

It's annoying how sometimes when you start a boss fight, enemies that were alive before the fight like to interfere. Especially in the jungle.

This would help make fights much fairer and prevent situations like being killed by a giant tortoise while fighting Plantera.

**add a wider variety of pre-SCal rogue weapons**

as it stands, there are currently three viable rogue-class weapons for supreme calamitas (i am playing in revengeance); Celestus, Supernova and Plasma Grenades. while each of these weapons are certainly viable for the fight, there is nowhere near as much variety at this stage of the games than there is for a class such as melee, ranger or mage. as well, in my own opinion pre-SCal as a rogue, all three of these weapons are kinda trash for SCal's sepulcher phases, as the brimstone hearts are too small to land hits with the Supernova or PLasma Grenades, and the Celestus requires sticking in one spot close to the hearts to take them out, and staying in one spot is a big no-no for SCal. if there was a slightly wider variety of exo-tier rogue weapons, for example, one which homes in on targets, rogue players will feel less limited when it comes to fighting SCal.

**Add some enemies to Acid Rain that help teach the player how to dodge Old Duke’s attacks**

?

Old Duke could be viewed as one of the harder fights as a whole in Calamity, as his insane dash speed and overall fight is a step up from anything the player has really fought, even in post ML. It comes across as a shock for newer players/those that haven’t fought Old Duke before, and leads to him being skipped over due to struggling with his fight. Thus, I would suggest adding one or two enemies into the Acid Rain (or reworking one or two to be more like Old Duke) that would help train the player so that Old Duke doesn’t come up like a massive difficulty spike.

Reduce Polterghast's movement speed.

I assume you all have experienced fighting polterghast so I'll make it short;
Reduce polterghast's movement speed, he moves too fast. Especially the polterghast (the invulnerable ghost) which can literally have the same movement speed as you and hit you easily. Though you might be thinking that we can reduce the speed of polterghast by having a small arena, which brings up a second issue: their darts being too slow and high damage that can bounce and home. I hope you could really nerf this, since it's a big problem I found when fighting it. Although this might just be me not being good enough.

While the whole statement of "actuate blocks" to make artificial jungles is a viable start, access to actuators isn't there yet. This usually makes the perf/hivemind immune in 2/3 of your arena due to all the snow canceling out the crimson. It would be nice to see a variation of snow be evil so this could allow less of your crimson to be neutred just cause snow, it also saves some players who dont know how to make extended biomes a lot of time

Astrum Deus has probably the smallest amount of segments amongst worm bosses. Giving it 10 seconds of nigh-invincibility (to prevent coiled spawn cheesing) is too long for both of its phases, as the boss uncoils much more faster than, say, Destroyer. Even faster on Phase 2, where the split worms have essentially half the length each.

Severely reducing this mechanic's duration on Deus' both phases would make the start of both phases less tedious, especially since the base 10 seconds of invincibility doesn't work on worms with smaller amount of segments.

**Give Old Duke a unique accessory to give players incentive to beat him**

Many players (I admittedly included) skip Old Duke, because he drops nothing of particular value to them and aren’t really worth their time. I think, to add more incentive for players to defeat Old Duke, a very unique accessory or item should be added to his drops.

Examples of unique items from optional bosses can be seen in Ravager and him dropping the Flesh Totem. The Flesh Totem is a very useful accessory that gives players incentive to beat him.

If Old Duke also had a useful and unique item, actually worth an item slot, more players would likely kill him to get it. Here are some rough examples for ideas:
Something that has to do with damage reduction, an item that adds unique projectiles to your attacks, a late-game counterpart to the counter scarf, or something else useful or unique. I am not requesting anything specific, I am just giving some ideas. The more unique the better.

Another idea is to rework his existing drops to make them more useful.

More incentive and motivation would also make the Old Duke fight seem less daunting.

**Make a late-game item that makes building arenas easier**

The grand design allows player to place wire extremely fast with extreme ease. One huge consumer of our valuable free time is arena building. My idea is an item that allows you to do the same for blocks and platforms.

It would work somewhat similar to the grand design, and have a way to determine what block type the player wants to place. It would allow the player to place arrays of blocks, background walls, or lines of platforms instantly, taking selected materials from the player’s inventory.

It would be best to make it late-game, likely post-ML, since that is when arenas require the most construction.

There could be a mining feature to aid in making things like Polter arenas, but it would have to have some limiting factor, and only be able to break blocks the player’s pickaxe can. An example of a limiting factor would be for it to have a delay equivalent to how long it would take the player’s pick to mine the amount of selected blocks, along with limited range so that it could not be exploited.

Such an item could save a lot of time and make the game more enjoyable. It could also have creative/artistic applications.

**Make it so Ark of the Cosmos's homing stars spawn on true melee strikes, instead of at the cursor on every swing.**

Ark of the Cosmos is one of the most egregious cases sullying the name of "melee". Firing a ton of projectiles on every swing, and zero direct strike effects. One such projectile, the homing stars, spawn at the cursor on every swing. This kind of long-ranged function would be expected of a magic weapon, not a sword.

If AotC was changed to have these stars spawn at the player upon landing a true melee strike instead, this would be a step in the right direction for making AotC into an actual melee weapon, rewarding the player for getting up close and personal with enemies & bosses.
It will still have all the sword beams and biome-based projectiles spewing out of it, so it will still have ranged options if you're worried about that. But at least with this change, it won't have an on-cursor effect anymore, and it will have an incentivization for getting up close with this melee weapon.

The recent change of Acid Rain allows the event to cancel by itself if the player never killed an Acid Rain enemy after 4 minutes. But given additional prep and walking there, sometimes 4 minutes isn't enough in post-EoC, due to the much limited mobility at that point in runs.

One of the least fun parts of calamity is when you have to redo the hardmode events to get certain crafting materials, because they're the exact same events but with buffed stats and one unique drop. The first thing needed to spice up these events are more enemy ai changes, so that the enemies actually pose a challenge to dodge, even with your insane mobility. Currently only the minibosses serve any sort of threat in the moons, and the in the ecilpse even the mothrons are easy to dodge. These ai changes could consist of general movement buffs to the enemies along with new unqiue attacks.

The next thing that could make these events more interesting is adding some unique drops. Currently the only loot is the respective material, and these are only dropped in large amounts by the ice queens, pumpkings, and mothrons. This makes it very annoying to fight other enemies, as you know that you have nothing to get from them. A way to give unique drops without making more weapons would be to transfer currently crafted weapons to drops from enemies, or to allow them to be obtained both ways. For example, the mingun, a post-DoG upgrade of the chain gun, could be dropped by the santa miniboss who drops the chain gun. The ice barrage, a post-DoG bliizard staff upgrade, could be turned into an ice queen drop.

make DoG stop thinking i'm butchering him when i use vehemence to hit kill him.(Maybe applying on SCal and Yharon too)

It's kinda anoying when he just negates the damage sometimes because he thinks i'm butchering him, it could be applied on SCal and Yharon too. Making some sord of antibutcher exception for the weapon since dealing lots of damage from the start of the fights is her biggest utility.

**Allow hellstone to drop from Lava slimes or a crate**

Currently, there is a way to obtain an infinite supply of all ores or their bar counterpart, except for hellstone and auric. Auric is understandable, as it is meant to be a godly resource close to the end of the game that would not make sense to be caught from a crate ore dropped by an enemy. Additionally, a large amount of auric ore spawns in the world in large veins, making it easy to collect. However, hellstone is a limited pre-hardmode ore used in a lot of recipes throughout the game. Allowing it to drop from lava slimes or crates would allow it to be farmable and infinite

**Remove the feature of various town NPCs selling alternate evil things.**

❔
This really isn’t needed. It’s already entirely possible to obtain both evils in the same world and the player should at least have to put in some effort to get everything rather than having it all handed to them on a silver platter. This would help to encourage actually trying to work with what you have and would arguably make each playthrough much more interesting.

“But what about Bloody Worm Scarf and Amalgamated Brain?”
These items can be changed to not require both evils to be made.

“But what about Panic Necklace and Band of Starpower (for Deific Amulet and Sigil of Calamitas, respectively)?”
The former can stand to be removed from Deific entirely as its effect isn't really useful or just given a recipe if it really needs to be there, and the latter may be given a recipe so it can still be obtained on any world (because locking Cuffs to Corruption worlds is dumb). If you're wondering why a recipe specifically: money is generally far easier to come by than specific materials, especially in Calamity.
Obtaining the rest all in one world is simply unnecessary.

**Add DM's Planetoid theme to calamity-music.**

The main reason why I'm bringing this up is because the track (Blessing of the Moon) is now included as one of the 8 added tracks to the official OST. I get that initially it was a scrapped theme, but now that it's officially listed, I personally feel that it should get added. There is already a mod available which does this separately with the track, but it would be nice to not have it separate anymore. It also shouldn't have biome conflicts based on my personal experiences with the unofficial mod that adds the track.
Datasize wise, it should be about 4MB, which I think is fine and not a huge problem.
For reference, this is how the unofficial mod defines a planetoid biome:

As the Planetoids aren't a proper biome of their own, "Blessing of the Moon" will instead trigger if stone, mud, or dirt are detected in the space layer without cloud blocks nearby

The Astral Underground has it’s own unique enemies and look, similar but different to the Astral Infection above it. However, outside of a single weapon and accessory for summoner and a weapon for mage, the player never has a reason to visit the underground area of the infection. Giving the player any reason to visit the underground infection would expand upon the area more and give the section of the Astral Biome some much needed attention.

**Add an option to visually disable all player-created projectiles**

In many Calamity bosses, bullets are everywhere, with 50+ on screen at a given time in some cases. Given this and the insane damage they do, dodging is crucial. But with many late-game weapons, the effect is just "shoot as many projectiles as possible," which in turn leads to a ton of projectiles being on screen. Players may have issues finding the enemy projectiles through the swarm of player projectiles. A simple option to disable all player projectiles would fix this (and perhaps an option to have a line to the cursor to help easily aim, instead).

An option
They are in a way if u want to build a skybridge or want to build something in space
While I guess there aren't many that would use this
U want to satisfy all players if possible and this sure is a great step towards doing so
Also they're also annoying if ur fighting a boss in space (if u want a little challange) and u bump into a planetoid and get stuck in an attack and die

It's also good for builders that build from scratch
To summarize it
Planetoids are a pain to destroy (for certain ppl I guess)
They're in a way if u want to build a skybridge

when u want to fight bosses in space

**Summon weapons that primarily inflict debuffs, even when using non-summon weapons**

Calamity reworks summoner to be a stand alone class, rather than a (primarily) support/grind class. Which is cool, but it has the trade off of making summons substantially less useful for players who used them as support when playing other classes. A way to compromise would be to create summons with the sole purpose of inflicting debuffs, similarly to the caustic staff, but make them function regardless of what the player is using at the time. That would allow players that wish to use summons as a support item to still do so while not throwing the Calamity summon rework out the window.

**Add small "past landings" of Astral Meteors to the world which spawn on worldgen and have a bit of Astral Infection surrounding them.**

Whether or not it's actually enough to make a biome...well, it could go either way and it'd still be pretty effective. It's overall not too important to the main point bein' made here.

❔
The Astral Infection is stated as a very powerful force in the world, and judging from the existence of Astrum Aureus, it can be reasonably assumed it existed in the Terrarian's world long before they entered it...so then why does it only appear upon the start of Hardmode, like it's trying to one-up the Hallow despite having about the same amount of actual content? Adding some glimpses of the Astral Infection prior to Hardmode would help to explain the existence of e.g. Asturm Aureus, would tie in with the pre-existing Astral Infection lore better, and would help to make the player more interested in just what they've gotten themselves into if they happen across this sort of thing early on.

***Background for Boss fights***

This is just my opinion, but certain bossfights dont have a characteristic atmosphere (like the surrounding changed to reflect their nature, like with most Post ML bosses), and while the fight could still be challenging and awesome as usual, I always think the overall "vibe" is a bit lacking. So I wanna suggest that certain bosses should have their own BG, like what Cryogen currently has with the Aurora background. It is purely aethestic and have nothing to do with actual gameplay, but I belive this will make every encounter more alive and impactful, like we are actually playing parts in the events of Calamity.

**Rework Devourer of Gods' lore item to cater more towards true melee accessibility instead of true melee damage.**

Devourer of Gods has a lore item that boosts true melee damage by 25%, while also multiplying damage taken by 1.1 (aka 10% increased damage taken). The damage isn't really needed because the primary reason true melee is inferior to "melee" is because of the range and accessibility. With the way true melee specific damage bonuses are in the mod, true melee feels more like "get in, deal a single heavy damage, and get out", instead of a constant, close-range barrage of attacks.

Reworking this lore item to give a way for true melee weapons to be easier to use instead of increasing true melee damage would make it more favorable to use, while still keeping the +10% damage taken to balance out the reward.

**Rework Post-Golem/Pre-ML Progression**

After defeating the golem and obtaining Scoria ore, the player is recommended to fight the Ravager, Duke Fishron, the Plaguebringer Goliath, and then the Lunatic Cultist. For Plaguebringer Goliath, there is a small bit of work in gathering the cell cannisters for it’s summon, but the other three bosses usually don’t take as much. It’s one of, if not the heaviest contributor to the overly simplistic “kill boss->loot boss->repeat” cycle of Calamity.

Giving some space between the bosses where the player can either explore to get new gear, mine for new gear, or be encouraged to do something besides the three bosses in a row would help break the cycle up more and give some much needed variety in that part of the game.

**Remove summon/sentry damage restrictions while holding a non-summoner weapon during the Old One's Army Event**

Simply put, this event is supposed to play out as a tower defense style minigame, with sentries as a predisposed resource given to the player to help deal with the ridiculous amounts of enemies spawned. Calamity's feature that reduces summon type damage makes it so that extra strength the game supposes you have through the eternian crystal fueled sentries is SEVERELY reduced to non-summoner players, while the difficulty of the event itself remains the same. The suggestion is to remove that summon damage reduction while you have the 'creative shock' debuff, or even while the Old One's Army event is active. The reason is so that you don't have to be overprepared or overgeared in order to do the event. Even though the event pretty irrelevant, it is still fun, and have some unique rewards the player might want, mainly from Betsy.

Survivability has always been the greater tool in Calamity, and the incentive for why most people use Auric Tesla over Demonshade. In a lot of cases, raw damage isn’t really that important. Take SCal, for instance; she has periodic phases of invulnerability, making the factor of raw damage a moot point, as she’ll inevitably become intangible while still attacking you (Bullet Hell phases). If your intention is to make Demonshade viable, then you need to consider the survivability of its wear, and what it otherwise lacks in comparison to Auric Tesla. There’s no point to having all that damage when you can't use it (notably against SCal, Yharon, and D.O.G—cause they have momentary invulnerability at points), while YOU'RE still being attacked by 800 damage hits.

**Make desert scourge's lore's effects activate based on whether you have well fed or not, instead of being in the desert.**

Right now, this lore offers 5 defense in exchange for 2.5% damage. I quite like the idea of being able to trade defense for damage, but the problem is that this lore is limited to the desert biome, a place you're only gonna visit once in pre-hardmode. I am aware that some other lores such as perforator lore are limited to a single biome, but those lores have a much stronger effect. The perforator lore lets you inflict ichor in pre-hardmode, for example.

A better condition for the lore to activate upon is the well fed buff, similar to aquatic scourge lore. This makes sense considering the lore connection of the two scourges. Well fed is very easy to get and lasts a long time, so being able to use the lore wouldn't be a problem. Further adopting ideas from the aquatic scourge lore, you could make this lore give increased offense but lower defense when you don't have well fed, adding an additional layer of usage.

Her stats is buffed, but she isn't a 'calamitous' being, and doesn't resemble one. Without the status message related to Cloud Elemental, the player won't know to check her.

Another reason is Storm Weaver is a sky-space being, and its attack summon lightning bolt, similar to Thunderstorm. It is also the only Sentinel that doesn't drop a RIV item.

Adding a Hamaxe made out of Meld Constructs would be a bit more consistent with pillar-themed and Uelibloom tier hamaxes.

**Add more high-tier pickaxes and hamaxes**

As it stands, the difference between the uelibloom-tier blossom pickaxe and the next tier of pickaxe, the crystal crusher, is arguably nine bosses, depending on how you calculate. In the case of the grax, there isn't even a better hamaxe at that point. Adding some pickaxes and hamaxes would give the player some convienence items to strive for while also smoothing the gap between tiers.

**Rework the set bonus of Tarragon Visage (Ranged) to fit more of the "survivability" niche provided by set bonuses of other helmets.**

Tarragon Visage's set bonuses are arguably rather bland, considering all it does it damaging, and conflicting with design of set bonuses of other Tarragon helmets, which provide survivability in some ways.

Reworking the splitting life energies into healing pickups that would heal a small amount of health would make the set bonus have an extent of survivability in order to be consistent with set bonuses of other helmets.

**Add stackable life regen bonus to Life Aura provided by Tarragon Horned Helm (Summon), per enemy inside the aura.**

The Life Aura provided by Tarragon Horned Helm's set bonus is pretty jarring in use, as it only deals 200 damage every 1.33 seconds. The life aura most definitely won't help against normal mobs, since at that point, many mobs intended to be fend off by this aura would die easily to player or minion attacks.

On the scope of bosses where Tarragon armor is intended for (Sentinels and Polterghast), the life aura is only effective on one of Signus' attack cycles, as the aura can damage and destroy the lanterns spawned by the boss.

Adding stackable, diminishing life regen boost to the aura per enemy inside of it would make the aura more effective in general combat.

Additionally, this would also amplify the significance of "survivability" on the set bonus, as the aura in its current state barely serves as so.

**Replace Uelibloom Bars in Tier 4 Draedon's Arsenal with Armored Shells (and Rebalance Accordingly)**

The fourth tier of Draedon's Arsenal (Pulse Dragon, Heavy Laser Rifle, Plasma Caster, Snake Eyes, Wave Pounder) are Post-Providence weapons which uses Uelibloom Bars as one of the core components. It makes sense for several reasons for Uelibloom to be replaced with Armored Shells and here's why:
Delegation & Gap-filling. Post-Providence provides access to a lot of equipment and materials; Providence drops, Uelibloom crafts, Divine Geode crafts, and Bloodstone crafts. It's easy to miss out on Pulse Dragon, for example, when there are 13 other melee weapons not including the ones you have already for you to choose from when they can be moved to a lesser-used tier where the amount of new items are less underwhelming and it's clearer to select a weapon of choice. Consequently, this would also fill in the gap of Armored Shells being an underused material and provide melee, magic, and summoner their first Post-Storm Weaver weapons.
Themes. The Draedon's Arsenal weapons are strong metallic weapons using electricity and made to withstand electromagnetic pulse (pulse), conductivity (plasma, electricity), movement (gauss), and radiation (laser). Armored Shells are perfectly suitable for the job because they are metallic and capable of controlling electricity. On the contrary, Uelibloom Bar is a result of heating up hardened, fossilized tree bark which is an organic material with endurance and healing-based properties.

**Buff relic of convergence**

Currently, the relic is pre-providence item which when held slows you down by like 50% for 4 seconds, and once the 4 seconds is done, you get healed.

Whats the problem?

You only get healed for 35 health. That is so small amount it is nowhere near worth using considering most players probably have around 600 hp when they get to providence/guardians.
The (around) 50% movement speed reduction makes dodging attacks significantly harder, most likely resulting in getting hit and making the 35 heal completely wasted.

As a side note: The relic has no cooldown like how potions do.

Buffing the relic would make the item lot more useable and reliable healing tool.

**make it so life alloy and core of calamity are one item instead of two**

typically cores of calamity and life alloys are used together in a recipe for things like the omega biome blade. however instead of crafting life alloys or cores of calamity to make these, have the materials that are used to make life alloys and cores of calamity into its own thing for items that use both life alloys and cores of calamity to make the crafting recipe for them less bulky. This shouldn’t affect many tiers, mainly just Asgard’s valor and true ark of the ancients, but these could be easily fixed. CoC itself doesn’t have much a good recipe as it is because you wouldn’t be using the three cores that much, you could instantly upgrade the three cores into the core of calamity, so it would be better if the life alloy was the one that inherited the cores while the core of calamity no longer exists.

**Nerf the difficulty of death underworld providence somewhat**

Hallowed providence is a fair amount easier than underworld providence. Underworld providence doesn't have the laser attack that hallowed providence does (which is so absurdly easy to dodge that it actually makes the fight easier by allowing the player some time to heal and do damage), plus it has the crystal that spawns so fast it's basically there throughout the entire fight adding an extra layer of attacks. The two versions (hallowed/underworld) should be equal difficulty, but different styles. At the moment, they're different difficulties, too. Not to mention building an underworld providence arena takes more time than a hallowed providence arena. These differences are on death mode, so it may or may not be applicable to other modes.

**Add a mention of Polterghast’s arena enrage mechanics to the Necroplasmic Beacon.**

?

Depending on the number of active tiles around Polterghast, the boss can move faster, deal more damage, have increased rate of fire, and projectile speed. This is a unique mechanic to the boss, but the player has no way of realizing that this mechanic exists without looking it up, as most people wouldn’t suspect the arena size to have an effect on the boss’ stats itself. Adding a mention of this to the summon for Polterghast, the Necroplasmic Beacon, would allow players to more easily know about this mechanic and be prepared for it.

Duke's Decapitator is pretty jarring in concept, since it stops upon hitting an enemy. Duke Fishron is a vicious, high-mobility predator that doesn't mix well with how his rogue weapon reflects.

Reworking the weapon's mechanics to fit Duke's behavior a bit more would make it not only fit Duke more, but also make it a bit more viable, since a stationary projectile with nothing much else going on is contradictive to what most bosses can do around the point you can get the weapon (e.g. ML or Cultist).

Making the weapon teleport to the same or different enemy on-hit.

Give an indicator of the summon damage penalty.

The summon damage penalty is a very important mechanic for summoners, but the player has no way of finding out it exists besides looking at the damage summons are doing to enemies. Adding some sort of indicator would let the player know about what was happening more effective. My idea is for the summon damage penalty to become a debuff, inflicted on players when they use a summon with another weapon. Similar to debuffs on bosses, a debuff icon would appear on your minions, possibly with more visual changes. This would let you know about the penalty in a very noticable manner, without adding on to item descriptions.

This gives the impression of being rather uncreative down the line, since 3 out of 5 Ranged Arsenal weapons are themed similarly, with only minor things differentiating them (increased or decreased damage towards certain targets, and an arc mechanic for Pulse).

**Buff the old one's army sentries.**

The old one's army sentries are pretty decent in vanilla, due to being pretty much the only sentries summoner has access to. However, the tier two and three sentry variants pale in comparision to their calamity equivalents. For example, the ballista cane does 67 damage but only fires every 3 seconds. Even with ballista panic, that's still a mere fire rate of 1.5 seconds a shot. Compare this to the cryogenic sentry, which attacks many times per second after getting revved up.

The lightning aura cane seems good with area coverage and infite pierce, but it does a mere 11 damage and only hits 2 times a second. Combine this with the typical pierce resists, and this sentry will do virtually no damage even against the things it's supposed to be good against. The flameburst sentry is like a weaker but faster ballista, still having low dps compared to calamity sentries. The explosive traps are simply unsable, with a very small hit area and hitting less than one time a second.

Considering that the sentries are one of the main appeals of doing ooa, it's very bad that they're absolutely useless in calamity.

**Add more lifesteal accessories to ranger**

After researching I found out that ranger does not have a lifesteal accessory.
Unlike rogue and mage has good lifesteal items

Ranger is supposed more of consistent damage class with a lot of aoe and can create alot of distance against the enemy.
but once a ranger gets hit there really is nothing a ranger can do its either use your healing potion or dodge until you regen enough health to confidently go along with the fight yet again.

But unlike rogue and mage who can just switch accessories fight regen and lifesteal at the same time until their health is high enough that they can tank abit of hits and switch to their original accessory and continue fighting.

My point ranger lacks lifesteal to continue fighting without taking breaks
So I suggest that ranger have an accessory that allows the class to lifesteal but have something that counters the take a break dodge a bit strategy like 25% additional damage or -50% regen or no positive regen at all

I know it's a sensitive topic for the community, but still, Polterghast's dashes are a joke right now. They can be totally ignored by moving straight horizontally / vertically, and there's nothing he can do with it, allowing the players to cheese him in tons of ways.

In vanilla, the desert is intended to be very unwelcoming but it's ultimately a rather irrelevant biome. This however doesn't go very well with Calamity. The desert is a pretty significant biome in early-game/preboss (Desert Scourge, Sunken Sea, Victide) and traversing it is an absolute pain when a majority of enemies take only 1-3 damage from anything you have. Compare the Antlion Charger to the Stormlion, not only is the Charger a lot tougher than the Stormlion (220 hp/22 def compared to 160 hp/8 def), it is also faster and do more damage even when including Stormlion's electrified debuff. At the very least Chargers and Swarmers should have reduced defense just to stop them from being a grind.

Flip the way the summoner nerf works.
In other words, rather than decreasing summon damage while holding another class' weaponry, decrease non-summon class damage while one or more summons are active.

❔
There is a sizable distaste for the summoner nerf introduced by Calamity in recent times, and if one had to hazard a guess as to why, it's most likely because the nerf punishes trying to actually use anything else as a summoner while failing to actually hinder other-class players who wish to use summons for free damage. The summoner wanting something to do is not the one that should be punished here --- their other-class damage is already terrible and their summon damage is directly penalized if they dare to use anything else. Changing the way the summon nerf works in this way would encourage summoners to try giving their summons a bit of supporting fire with their off-class weapon of choice while making it less viable to just summon something at random for another class for free damage as you can currently. In other words, it would greatly help to level the hybrid build playing field, which is currently heavily stilted towards "non-summon class of choice with a side of summoner".

Add a delay after Yharon's bullet hell attack in Subphase 3.

Unlike other bullet hells in the fight, there is not a 3 second delay after Yharon performs the bullet hell attack in subphase 3. Yharon also performs a charge immediately after he finishes spawning the projectiles, which makes cheap shots very likely if Yharon is within 40 blocks from the player. This encourages the player to move far away from Yharon during this bullet hell, making it inconsistent with the other bullet hells in the fight.
If a delay was added, it would make the bullet hell in subphase 3 more consistent with the other bullet hells in the fight, and would also make the fight more fair by removing the potential for a cheap shot immediately after this bullet hell.

Add more situations where hordes of enemies are more of a problem to the player

?

Weapons in Calamity are often judged for their viability against bosses, due to the high threat that bosses pose to the player, and how little casual exploration or horde/swarm fights come up when compared to bosses. This often leads to weapons that exceed at dealing with swarms being pushed aside or ignored due to having no opportunity to truly shine aside from pre-hm or some portions of hardmode. Giving the player more swarms to deal with would force them to swap up from single damage weapons, and allow less appreciated weapons to shine more often.

Scale SCAL’s number of drops with difficulty

Currently, SCAL drops only a single weapon when you defeat her out of a pool of 20, granted you can craft the weapon but it saves time and sanity if you just get it to drop your classes weapon from her. The only exception of the 1 drop rule being when you defeat her in normal mode where she drops none.
My suggestion is that depending what difficulty you are playing on, the number of weapons she drops will increase. For example expert mode dropping 1, rev dropping 2, and death dropping 3.
On a side note this would also help with multiplayer playthroughs.

Make Lifesteal give high amounts of regen for a short time instead of healing the user

Ah, lifesteal the mechanic that is so hard to balance because some weapons and accessories rely on it soo heavily, some examples are vampire knives, spectre hood, vampiric talisman and empyrean knives. What makes high amount of regen more manageable than lifesteal you ask? Well since high amount of regen =/= lifesteal and is only giving a certain amount of hp consistently, it is not over reliant on itself to be good, some accessories and weapons already do that. So if lifesteal in general became regen it would mean that spectre hood is no longer relying on lifesteal and instead could be more of a support role to grant the user survivability.

Make Demonshade's Set Bonus A Toggle On/Off Like Elysian Guard Instead Of A 10 Sec Buff

I find it more convenient if I can set the elysian guard and demonshades set bonus into the same hotkey without having to worry about the demonshade expiring

Add some sort of radioactive crystals to the Sulphur Sea as decorations and faint light sources

The Sulphur Sea is a bit, well, bland at the moment when it comes to background objects. It's also dark. The vines are far too easily broken, and often don't spawn in most of the sea. The microbial clusters are finicky as well and can't be relieved upon.

I suggest adding some crystals to the Sulphur Sea as background objects, or a block with no crafts, that emit a faint amount of light (to go along with the radioactive/toxic theme of the sea). These would be purely for ambiance and decoration.

Also, you could craft them with (speculative), a crystal shard and a sulphuric scale in Hardmode for the purposes of renewability. They could be broken and moved wherever you wanted, then replaced back onto the ground.

Overall, these would be a new immovable (eg, not a mob) light source that's not broken by weapons and doesn't rely on spawn rates.

Add a way to get back breath in the abyss, however make it rare

Grinding in the abyss can take a while and losing breath forcing you to constantly go back up to the surface is making the grinding a lot harder than it should be. This is why the method of getting air should be rare, it should be a quick convenience to reduce the times the player has to go up while keeping balance of not just being able to grind easily by not being common. If the way to get breath is unique it could also give some life to the abyss.

Heavily nerf the Waraxe.

❔
Before you dismiss this as a meme, hear me out.

Now, at first glance, the Waraxe doesn’t seem like anything interesting. All it does is inflict a debuff on critical strikes. However, after beginning an analysis of Calamity broadsword-type weaponry, it has come to my attention that this weapon is brokenly powerful, and here I’ll give you an explanation as to how.

To give a reference: Waraxe’s use time is 21, meaning it strikes ~2.86 times a second, and its base damage is 26. Doing some grade school mathematics, this causes the base DPS of the Waraxe, before any defensive or variance calculations, to come out to about 74.3.
To compare, I took multiple early-game broadsword-type weapons of similar stature, both vanilla and Calamity, and compared their DPS to that of the Waraxe using the same calculations. My findings, rounded to the nearest tenth, are shown below:

Silver Broadsword: 31.4.
Tungsten Broadsword: 36.
Gold Broadsword: 39.
Platinum Broadsword: 47.4.
Bone Sword: 43.6.

Basher: 50.8.
Depth Crusher: 62.9.
Feller of Evergreens: 37.5.
Wulfrum Blade: 37.9.

Now, I’m no expert on Calamity balancing, but I’m pretty sure that this weapon having a major DPS advantage over multiple other weapons of its general tier despite its ease of obtainment is a bad thing. And on top of that, Waraxe inflicts War Cleave for 15 seconds on critical strikes; it's basically Armor Crunch with a DR cut, literally just better Armor Crunch. So you get to do even more damage with the same weapon, with Waraxe's DPS being boosted by a mighty 21.4 (coming out to a higher bound of 95.7 DPS!!!) and multiple other weapons receiving enormous boosts from this debuff.

So why nerf the Waraxe? Because it should not be significantly stronger than several other things around its tier despite being criminally easy to get.

This can be really annoying when fighting Supreme Calamitas. Since this boss is mostly about vertical movement (Except for the bullet hell phases, but that still uses vertical movement). If I am in the middle of flying upward, I would rather start falling then stall in the air and get hit by a brimstone blast or (if I am fighting the brothers at that time) a brimstone skull.

Make Energy Cores a lot more accessible.

Currently in order to make Wulfrum armor for example, you need to drag yourself onto the outer thirds of the world, try to kill Wulfrum stuff as they're inside Wulfrum Pylons. Grnated, Pylons can still spawn in the middle thirds, but at a lower rate, which still encourages getting to the outer thirds of the world.

The whole thing seems unnecessarily tedious for something you'd easily replace when you got Victide (or any other class-specific armors) anyways. Making Energy Cores easier to get would make Wulfrum armor a lot more accessible for a really early game to start up.

One way could be, but won't be limited to making Wulfrum Pylons spawn anywhere at the same rate as those on the outer thirds of the world.

Lock Victide Armor behind Desert Scourge

?

If the player wants, they can farm Cnidrion and acquire Victide armor before even fighting Desert Scourge. This results in the player only receiving the weapons from Desert Scourge, and nothing else, as well as mean that both Wulfrum and Victide are obtainable at the start of the game for all classes.

Locking Victide behind Desert Scourge (through some new material or another method) would still allow the player to get Victide weaponry if they want, but would force them to fight the boss of the desert before receiving armor that is an upgrade to Wulfrum.

This would make true melee rushdown attacks more viable, as well as make rage slightly more rewarding by letting the player be a tad bit more reckless while it's activated. To balance it, some of the other passive boosts can be removed.

This would also encourage the player to use rage in the middle of a boss battle or invasion, rather than hold on to it until the end of time or the final 10%. It would also encourage people to actually equip the heart of darkness during a boss fight, rather than equip it and then unequip it after rage is full.

While the Golden Lantern drops from pirates and the Obsidian Lantern generates semi-reliably in the Underworld, there are 7 lanterns that can only generate in the dungeon. According to the Wiki, "Each world's dungeon contains three of the seven potential 'Dungeon Only' lanterns. Which lanterns are present are randomized." Since you have to beat Skeletron in each world for safe access to the Dungeon, this makes farming them very time consuming.

Currently the magic carpet can only be toggled after all the flight time have been diminished but there's no use for that, since it screws you over in SCal fight, even outside of SCal the magic carpet is pretty useless since Drew's wings could still outspeed it after the player lands or grapple-release onto the ground.

Replace Lihzahrd Bricks in Death Whistle's recipe with Essences of Chaos.

There are primarily 2 reasons for this to happen. First of all, Ravager is buffed post-Providence with Brimstone Elemental and Calamitas, and both bosses need Essence of Chaos for their summoning item. So replacing Lihzahrd Bricks in Death Whistle with Essences of Chaos would make Rav's summoning item consistent with the other two mentioned beforehand.

The other reason is that Ravager has been steadily drifting away from its relationship with Golem and Lihzahrd, and is starting to stand on its own. Replacing the Lihzahrd Bricks in Death Whistle's recipe would make the boss easier to stand on its own without (most) Lihzahrd connections.

On top of this, the Charred Ore has the potential to generate in unfortunate locations which can remove the player's ability to excavate the region properly.

Expand the sentry subclass.

This subclass has a massive lack of calamity content relative to the minion subclass of summoner, with only 10 weapons compared to the over 50 minions. It also lacks in armors and accessories, with a grand total of 0 armors and accessories focused on it introduced by calamity. This isn't just a one point in progression, there is simply a general lack of sentry content in pre-hardmode and post moon-lord. In pre-hardmode, there is only one calamity sentry, which isn't very good. Early post-moon lord is covered by 3 calamity sentries, but there is a lack on good sentries for everything after dog.

This is bad for summoner because it severly limits their weapon variety. Most classes have mulitple subclasses, while summoner has only 2. A lack of content from one severly limits the variety in the type of summoner weapons relative to other classes.

Sentries also have a lot of potential to be interesting and engaging. The stationary nature of sentries can force the player to use effective positioning to hurt the enemies. This breaks up the often boring playstyle of summoner is a way unique to the class. This allows for more engaging play while keeping the unique nature of summoner.

Make the magic mirror and steampunker teleporters give the player the ROD cool down and make both unusable with the debuff

The calamity mod adds a lot of features implemented to prevent cheesing bosses and nerfed the rod of discord teleport, but the effort used to add these features is undermined by the use of teleporting items during fights. Players can easily cheese bosses even in death mode such as golem using teleporters and the moon lord by teleporting back to spawn with magic mirror items. I think giving the items the debuff is a good compromise between completely disabling these items during boss fights but blocking overpowered techniques. It is also thematically similar to the rod of discord cool down as both items involve teleporting the player.

Remove or give more uses to Cloaking Glands (and if the former, make Anechoic Coating drop from Cloaking Glands' sources directly).

Cloaking Glands, despite dropping from multiple Abyss enemies, are virtually useless, heralding all of exactly one use (Anechoic Coating) for the entirety of the game. This doesn't seem particularly intuitive, since the number of enemies they drop from implies they'd be used for more than one thing.
Removing the material and making Anechoic Coating drop directly would simplify the process of getting the Coating and also allow the player to actually know what it is --- they're highly unlikely to ever go out of their way to craft Anechoic Coating, especially since you'll typically get what you need out of the post-Skeletron Abyss within a minute or two.
Giving the material more purpose would help to incentivize taking a trip down to the depths, for something other than your class' Abyssal Chest weapon and other items from those chests, earlier in the game. After all, you get very little from the pre-HM Abyss at all past those chests --- why not give the player a little more reason to go dive into the deep end? The rogue class in particular could greatly benefit from some unique Cloaking Gland crafts --- with both being focused around stealth, it seems almost too perfect an opportunity to pass up.
Either approach would help to solve the problem of material bloat, albeit through different means --- a problem Calamity suffers from due to a lot of materials being useless aside from one purpose.

Remove Ravager's Leg Sparks

Ravager emits tiny damaging sparks that lingers on a solid surface after its legs are destroyed and before the second phase. This is by far the least relevant and memorable attack of the fight, to the point that many don't even know it exists, and here's why:

The spark is tiny to the point where if you get hit, it almost seems like you got hit by nothing. And if you didn't get hit, you wouldn't even see it. At that stage, it essentially added nothing to difficulty.
The likelihood that you're staying on a solid floor under Ravager is insanely low due to the nature of the fight, and the fact that people use platforms a lot. If you are in that situation somehow, you will probably avoid it the moment after.
Ravager can lose this attack (almost) immediately in transition to phase 2, easily making it the least significant part of the fight, as removing the head still causes the head to stick for the rest of the fight.
"Why remove, not rework?" - Reworking is a popular idea among many Calamity players but this will not be beneficial in this situation. Ravager already has enough entities in the fight. The current fight includes 7 different projectiles and 4 different NPCs (not including the limbs, which would raise it to 9). Adding any more intricate projectiles will make Ravager way too complex for a Hardmode boss.

Add a non-consumable variant of the Bloodworm, or make Bloodworms non-consumable.

Despite the nerfs, Old Duke still manages to be one of the most difficult to learn and punishing fights in Calamity. So why shouldn't he have his own infinite boss summon? This would make it more consistent with other post-Provi boss summons, decrease the amount of frustration the player experiences when doing repeat attempts, and would give inexperienced players ample opportunity to actually learn Old Duke's fight. This would also encourage players to fight OD pre-DoG, instead of defeating him post-DoG for the sole purpose of filling out the boss checklist book.

add a corroded fossil summoner weapon

currently, the corroded fossil is a crafting material in a magic weapon (Miasma), a melee weapon (Bonebreaker), a ranged weapon (Corroded Caustibow) and a rogue weapon (Acidic Rain Barrel). this crafting material seems to hit every class except for summoner, a flaw it shares with Aerialite weapons. implementing a summoner weapon themed around the acid rain and crafted with corroded fossils would keep the consistency between corroded fossil weapons, as well as increasing summoner weapon variety.

since there is a health slider scale thingy I think there should be a day/night length option

Ik it's a players choice so it's their problem but I really think there should be a night/day length option
Basically if u choose to give bosses more health u can also make days and nights longer but it would be capped depending on how much bonus health the bosses received
The option would simply be smth like
[Bonus health
Longer day/night (on/off)]

The option would be turned off by default
And it would be off forever if u don't give bosses more health

The reason for that is that when giving bosses more health u have less time to kill time-specific bosses.

Crabulon should despawn once you go too far away.

There are multiple things wrong with him never despawning.
-It lets you cheese by summoning him on a mushroom planetoid, letting him fall down, then hit him from safety 1000 feet away. See picture. That just isn't right.
-If you MM home because you can't beat him, it means you can't beat him. The fight should be over. He shouldn't be able to go to you to resume the fight, because that gives you an unfair advantage since you're now at full hp and on the surface, and he's already damaged.
-You can summon him, MM home, then abuse the still-active Boss Zen buff explore various biomes for their natural resources without any enemies to harm you for 5-10 whole minutes before he catches up to you, where you can MM again

Overall it just doesn't make sense for him not to de-spawn, especially for a boss that moves as slowly as crabulon.

Tweak The 10% DR For Asgardian Aegis & Its Predecessors

Currently, you only get the 10% DR while submerged in liquid but that in reality, is really useless since you don't fight bosses like DoG, Yharon or SCal underwater. It's better to just let the shields have 10% DR by default.

I would also like to add that Asgardian Aegis is supposed to be a tank based defensive shield accessory so having DR would be more beneficial than a shameful 10 defense, if defense were really that important I would opt for Affliction anyway, not to mention Affliction gives DR and other raw stats bonuses that the Aegis does not. You could argue Aegis gives you iframes upon dashing towards a boss charging at you but that is more of an exploit if you ask me.

Lastly, 10% DR may seem a lot but softcap may reduce that substantially however if the DR is still massive, reduce the accessory's DR to 5%

Add more classless weapons that dont use rare ammo

for simplicity's sake, whenever i say classless weapons, i mean classless weapons that dont consume ammo obtained from bosses

Classless weapons are actually a pretty nice thing to get your hands on, they give helpful debuffs and make the summoner class in calamity more fun.
Its a shame there are only 5 classless weapons that can be used that way
Marked magnum, aestheticus, lunic eye, golden gun and yanmei's knife
the lunic eye and golden gun are acquired in early hm, and there are no other classless weapons from that point up to yanmei's knife, theres a huge gap. Not to mention that various bosses are immune to marked and ichor. The golden gun also doesnt have a cursed inferno counterpart, which makes the problem even worse in corruption worlds

The marked magun is also only available once you beat the EoW or BoC, as it requires hellstone bars to craft(assuming you just dont get reaver shark and yeet progression out of the window)

I propose adding more classless weapons throughout the game, a CI variant of golden gun, post ml upgrades to both golden gun and "cursed gun" that have homing, seeing as marked magnum has a homing "upgrade".

Make Legendaries obtainable by doing a certain challenge related to the boss fight, instead of using low drop chance.

Legendaries don't seem to be looked on much because of how they're obtained (1% chance from boss bags). And relying on heavy RNG can be seen as a bad idea for what's supposedly "Heirloom" weapons for each boss.

Making Legendaries drop from a certain boss-related challenge would make getting them more interesting (instead of mindless grind), while also making these "Heirloom" weapons more valuable indirectly.

Some ideas for this could be, but won't be limited to:

Making Night Providence drop Pristine Fury
Giving Legendary drops from bosses fought purely when enraged (e.g. Plantera and Golem)
Giving SHPC to Mecha Mayhem completion

Make Polterghast use its hooks for unique melee attacks, instead of having so many chaotic projectiles

An idea is a attack it does with it's tentacles similar to golem fists. A harder version would be having perpendicular projectiles shoot out of the straight "grapple" after a delay, similar to the revolvenant from ETG. I would also like to see the boss doing 1 attack at a time instead having too much going on at the same time. This however allows for more creative or hard to dodge attacks because it is more focused. I would generally like to see more melee attacks in this game that is more than dashing in one direction. This would allow for more focused boss fights therefore having them being less messy.(edited)

Change Magna Striker, Ultima, and Effervescence to be Magic/Ranged Weapons, and remove Spirit Flame from Astreal Defeat

?

Currently, Opal Striker (ranged) and Magna Cannon (magic) are used to make a ranged weapon, the Magna Striker. It’s odd that the result of these weapons is restricted only to one of these damage types. This also (partially) applies to the ranged weapon Ultima, which uses a laser like design for it’s firing and the Laser Rifle in it’s recipe. This applies heavily to the magic weapon Effervescence, which uses Xenopopper (ranged) and Bubble Gun (magic) in its recipe. Astreal Defeat also incorporates spirit flame, but it is more focused on bows overall (it does use four of them afterall) and being the luminite bow of it’s tier, so I would prefer it stay separate from magic.

Thus, I suggest that Magna Striker, Ultima, and Effervescence join Aether’s Whisper in the small category of hybrid weapons. This would not only further the category of hybrid weapons and support them more overall in their existence, but also validate the usage of both weapon types in these recipes.

Make Death Mode boss spawns more common and take less time to spawn

Over the course of my current Death Mode playthrough, I have only encounter these spawns twice, both being pre-Skeletron. I think it would be more fun if this feature were more common in their occurrence. Maybe have a increase this occurrence in hardmode, then maybe again post-Moonlord. Another idea is in hardmode, or post-Moonlord just have some maybe slightly earlier bosses or current bosses just suddenly spawn, (though you may want to add something that makes it only spawn a certain distance from any NPCs, as to not slaughter them) as the player should be able to beat bosses they have already fought, which would add to the difficulty of Death Mode, but that's the point of Death Mode. Either way this would make this happen more than twice in the entirety of the game pre-Moonlord.

Making Plantera shots curve into the direction of the player if the player is to far away

Make Plantera shots curve into the direction of the player if they are far away enough, I wanted to do this because plantera can easily be cheesed by going around her throughout the entire fight, by making the shots curve towards the player, it gives the player the feeling to dodge the shots instead of circling because as I said they would continue to curve onto the player. The vines make it harder to cheese but all it requires is a bigger circle and by making the shots curve if you are far enough should help in removing this aspect of cheese by circling the fight should be more "fun" instead of circling the whole fight and plantera can't do much.

As we know Plantera is a very easily cheesed boss, though a "tactic" called circling. Desert scourge had a similar problem where you just stayed above the boss, and it couldn't hit you. The recent changes to the desert scourge AI made the fight much more interesting and something similar could be done with Plantera. Long dashes, telegraphed by some sort of roar, would not only cause Plantera herself to leave the circle the player is following, thereby preventing mindless circling.

To make sure this isn't too annoying for anyone, Plantera could slow down or stop shooting seeds during the telegraph and the actual dash, and then return to normal.

These dashes aren't meant to hit the player, just to break the circle.

Player inflicted debuffs are known for being horrifically bad. So much so that Mythril Knife’s stealth strike, a early hardmode weapon focused around inflicting debuffs, inflicts what is supposed to be an end game debuff, God Slayer Inferno. For example, God Slayer Inferno deals 125 dps, and reduces defense by 10. But by this point in the game, your weapons are dealing tens of thousands of damage per second, meaning the debuff is practically unnoticeable.

Auric Tesla's Godslayer/Silva Effect Should Be Innately Heal Up To Half HP Without Draconic Elixir

Why? Nobody likes it when their Draconic Surge gets overridden by a temporary buff/debuff then suddenly your health became 150 instead of what you expected. It is nothing more than an inconvenience. In a perfect world, we would expect to be healed to half hp when godslayer activates while fighting SCal so this is mostly a QoL change.

The Draconic Elixir is often viewed to the community as a saving grace inches from death so what will become of the Draconic Elixir then? Currently it increases the flight time of Wings by 35%, increases maximum flight speed and acceleration by 15%, and grants 16 defense and godslayer/silva healing to half hp. We have two choices, let the stats bonus remain the same just without the Godslayer/Silva bonus or we could turn it into an upgrade to the Holy Wrath Potion, mixing damage boost, flight speed & time boost and extra defense.

Add an early hardmode rogue set focused on spamming as a counterpart to titan heart.

Rogue has two distinct playstyles, a spammy rogue that plays more similar to the other classes, and a stealth rogue that focuses on aiming and landing much slower but more powerful stealth strikes on foes. Titan heart performs excellently as a stealth-specialized armor. The high damage but low crit helps stealth users more because stealth builds often have 100% crit, the armors 15% decreased firing speed greatly discourages spamming, and the set bonus of the armor focuses on an effect that benefits stealth. However, there is no adequate counterpart for spammy rogue.

Now you might bring up the two other armors usable by rogue, mollusk and the forbidden circlet. However, both of these are quite specific armors. Mollusk is incredible with the right build, but the greatly reduced movement makes it impractical for most loadouts. The circlet is a hybrid armor mostly focused on summoner, which turns off most players who prefer class playthroughs.

Adding this armor would offer a distinct choice between the two rogue playstyles, encouraging people to choose and commit to the one they prefer.

Sharks in the Hardmode ocean seem to be pretty uncommon, making farming for the Seafood rather slow and boring to do. I'm playing on Death Mode, I used the Demon Trophy, I also have the water candle and a battle potion, and they're still appearing pretty rarely.

I'm aware that you can wait in the acid biome to make it spawn naturally, however unless you get something that massively boosts the spawn rate (eg. Blood Moon), it may take a long time to wait for that. Perhaps increasing the chances of getting it to spawn naturally might also fix the long waiting

This is not necessarily something that makes this portion of the game unplayable, but making the grind for the spawner less time consuming would be a nice quality of life change personally, as the boss takes a little while to learn on how to dodge its attacks

Config To Disable Or Lessen Screen Tints

I have done some testing on my frames per sec and found out that having screen tints such as Astral Fogs, Boss Screen Filters etc. decreases the fps by 20-30 from my 120fps cap to 90fps for me(im running a gtx 1650ti on my laptop). How do I justify that the screen tints caused the frame drop? Simple, when I go to a biome with none of that screen filters let's say the Jungle, my fps consistently stayed at 120 whereas when fighting SCal or Yharon or exploring in the Astral for fun, my fps drops. That being said, this suggestion would be helpful for those with potato specs or for the people such as myself who just wants consistent frame rate.

NOTE: changing your lighting mode to Retro/Trippy does get rid of the screen tints BUT because of the abnormal way those lighting modes work by drastically brightening up everything on your screen, your gpu would end up rendering more visible pixels on the screen therefore your fps will be lower than in Color/White mode
...so more darkness = less lag? yes

Now for those who say you can just decrease your fps cap to 60 to decrease the frequency of frame drops. No that's not how it works, your fps cap won't really affect whether your frames drop or not. In layman's terms, if you are capping to 60 it means you are limiting your gpu's power as they act directly proportionally so whether if you have frame skip on off or subtle, it wouldn't make a difference

?

50 Wulfrum Knives can be crafted with one wulfrum metal scrap, and wulfrum scraps are very easy to acquire early game. When you craft wulfrum metal scraps into knives though, you sell them for 10 silver instead of 80 copper. This is a 10x value increase, which is absurd when compared to any of the other weapons.

Astral Infection's Environment Should Be Glowier

Astral Infection is literally a pathogen from SPACE so they should resemble twinkling stars in the skies. The enemies in the biome have orange-blue parts on their body that glows in the dark, so maybe the environment could have some of that quality too? For example, some astral blocks most notably the Astral Monolith blocks have blues and oranges on its texture but the problem is that they just don't glow as bright as the enemies of the biome. It would be a nice touch if astral blocks(including underground) glow including their respective furnitures so long as they have the blue-orange color scheme. Overall, it would make the biome feel more alien and alive

Below is a video showing the comparison between the glow of astral enemies and the monolith trees, notice how the enemies and the player are the only source of light

make sulphurous armor set's extra jump happen before rocket boot effect

the fact that the jump happens after rocket boots makes it many times less useful, usually when you finish your rocket boot flight you want to make safe landing with them, since their momentum is different than the one of jumps, however the ability to actually utilize the jump and its damaging bubble seems like a must have for this armor

Make Boss Rush Teleport You Back To Where You Used Terminus After Killing WoF

Reason's pretty simple: so you don't need to fly all the way back to your arena from your spawnpoint

The change would mean if you used it in an arena, you would get teleported back to the arena at where you used Terminus. Additionally, the player could use the Terminus in the middle spot for their SCal arena so before SCal spawns in boss rush, the player would be teleported to said spot which would be ideal for the arena size.

allow brimstone elemental to be targeted by minions during her laser attack

i don't see why she shouldn't be targetable by minions during this attack anyway, given she's not in her rose. however, i have discovered something rather infuriating about fighting her as a summoner. if she chooses to cycle in between her cocoon attack and her laser attack, minions just cannot damage her/ at all. unless you walk right into her, minions don't target her, and neither do sentries. this can cause issues if you're farming her for a specific drop, like i am, where you cant really do any damage to her. allowing minions to target her during her laser eye phase would counteract this problem.

Make all the Shadow Chests in the Abyss be Abyss/Void Chests instead.

Right now the aesthetic of Shadow Chests don't really fit the Abyss, their only purpose being to signify that the Abyss is meant to be explored post-Skeletron. Turning them into Abyss and/or Void Chests would a) keep consistent with the Abyss's aesthetic, and b) sever a rather random connection between the Dungeon and the Abyss. (Granted, Eidolists/Eidolon Wyrms exist lorewise, but they still don't explain why there would be chests in the Abyss only unlockable by traversing the Dungeon.)

Suggestion Author: Me

#

Make Shadow Chests in the Abyss unlockable upon killing Skeletron without needing Shadow Keys.

This would make Abyss exploration not gated behind the Dungeon and Skeletron at the same time, and the player can choose to dive into Abyss immediately after beating Skeletron if they'd choose so.

Additionally, amongst all connections between Dungeon and Abyss, Shadow Keys and Chests are probably the weakest and the most arbitrary and minor, since the Shadow thematic does fit the Underworld much more.

#

The fish weapons in the abyss found in the shadow chests should instead be rare mobs or caught with bug net

This would also allow for multiple of the same weapon if your world doesn’t generate a certain weapon or you need multiple for other players. Due to there not being a large amount of shadow chests in the abyss this allows easier access to the accessories and utility items found within the chests. For more items in the shadow chests you could add some items from the enemy’s loot drops and some of the exclusive items from fishing.

For the fish enemies either making them available anytime would encourage early exploration of the abyss or alternatively having a message that states "New life flourishes in the Abyss" or "New life flourishes beneath the Sulphuric Sea" after skeletron has been defeated. The message also serves as a way to tell new players about the abyss instead of skipping all its loot due to there not being mentions about it or where its location is.

Make Layer 4 Of The Abyss Bigger And Better

In my opinion, layer 4 right now isn't remotely threatening since you can just keep attacking downward to aggro anything that's hiding in the dark plus most people usually just rush in, get the terminus then leave immediately. Layer 4 needs more of an exploration aspect to its nature so I propose making the environment bigger, probably as big as the Sunken Sea if you want to go that far.

By making the environment bigger, you wouldn't expect which direction enemies will come from and it gives more room to creatively hide where the chest for the Terminus is, thus adding more exploration.

Layer 4 could also use some environmental corals, weeds, underwater heat geysers etc. that will pose as environmental threats to the player. Quick example would be that corals could glow the same color and pattern as an eidolon wyrm or a reaper shark, which is ideal since nature is all about camouflaging to catch a prey, so it would increase the paranoia on your decisions down there. Another example would be some corals would act like sentry enemies and attack you when they "see" you. Basically, take inspiration from Subnautica.

Softlock Abyss layer 4 until Post-ML to maintain its mystery

Right now you're able to venture into layer 4 without too much trouble in early game, and it's even possible to obtain the Terminus pre WoF if you get lucky enough with avoiding minibosses. This shouldn't be possible. Also, the player should be left wondering "what's really down there?" until they're able to actually fight the mobs. Getting a sneak peek in Pre-Hardmode completely defeats the suspense and mysterious nature of the layer. So, I say layer 4 should be softlocked until the phase of the game it's meant to be explored: Post-ML.

This could be done most realistically with a heat based debuff. The abyss sits right above literal hell and the water would probably be thousands of degrees, but unable to boil because of the pressure. This debuff could be a buffed version of Lethal Lava Burn with a name relating to the water, perhaps something like "Scalding Depths" or such.

The Abyssal Diving Suit would negate this debuff (since deep sea armor plating on trench submarines is meant to withstand high heat from vents and such). This is a standard piece of Abyss exploration gear and is is only available Post-ML, which would accomplish the goals of hiding the minibosses and Terminus until you'd defeated ML.

They could be upgradable with abyss stuff like lumenyl, depth cells etc

make an option to change the calamity health bar style, something like the minimap style in vanilla

First of all the health bar is really outdated as it doesn't fit with Calamity cuz it's more tech like and calamity is more brutal so the health bar should look more like calamity so rather than getting rid of it and changing it for something else it would be better to make an option to change the style, like the minimap in vanilla
That would make the calamity health bar more more fitting and people could change it to whatever they like
My other idea was to make it change depending on the biome ur in or the boss ur fighting (on top of the option to change it)
Thats a bonus but it would make bosses even more interesting to fight (not interesting but I forgot the word)
Since the health bar woudnt be distracting you cuz it would fit with the boss or biome

Make a telegraph for Aquatic Scourge's spin

First reason is the Desert Scourge. Now he has a special attack in rev+ and when he's about to do it, he roars. And since the Aquatic Scourge is the Desert Scourge but from hardmode, it would be a great similarity between them.
Second reason is... this spin is almost unpredictable. Especially when you're doing a no-hit. Even if it works on timer and each spin has the same delay, you have no time to check the timer that you (maybe) set when you need to dodge a lot of shit.

So, main two reasons: 1. It's hard to predict; and 2. Desert Scourge has a telegraph for his special attack, but his hardmode version doesn't

"The air of the underground jungle begins to smell more pollinated..." (Plantera)
"A nearby star shines with a brilliant yet malevolent light..." (Astrum Aureus)
"You notice a large silhouette deep under the sea..." (Duke Fishron)
"The profaned flames grows ever more brighter..." (Profaned Guardians)

Obviously, these are examples and shouldn't be implemented as is. Hopefully you get the idea.

Make supreme calamitas's default attacks harder to dodge but less punishing.

Many of supreme calamitas's attacks are very hard to dodge. But when she is not in a bullet hell phase, and when he has no minions to assist her, they are quite easy. Scal has 5 attacks in this state. She charges at you, which generally can be avoided as long as you keep moving quickly. She lines up to the player, similar to retinazer, and fires hellblasts at you, all you have to do to avoid these is move up and down. He most difficult attacks are her spray of fireballs and exploding brimstone blasts. But even these can be weaved between pretty easily, as they give you plenty of time to react to the split and there's little else going on during these attacks. Making these attacks more difficult would make the boss fight more intense and difficult, like a final boss should be. To make sure that this doesn't make the fight too hard, you could lower the damage of these attacks. This would make it harder to dodge while also ensuring that being hit by a single attack isn't too devastating. In my opinion, this would lead to an overall more fun boss fight.

Increase Cryophobia drop rate or Angry Dog's spawn rate, for more consistency in the weapon's drop rate in non-boss RIV line

Cryophobia is a mage weapon and a rare item variant of the Magna Cannon, which can be obtained by killing Angry Dog with a 1% drop chance. I'm aware that RIVs are supposed to have low drop rate, but 1% chance to drop from an uncommon enemy is really low. Creating a farm area with pre-boss mage gear in a particularly dangerous area is simply agonizing. So either increasing the drop rate of Cryophobia or pumping up Angry Dog's spawn rate can help Cryophobia become an actual weapon worth farming for.

It would help show a ramp in difficulty as well, as Providence is a difficult boss, which you fight right after ML, who, being the last vanilla boss (And kinda easy tbh) will start showing the player they are going to a more difficult stage of the game.

Add Archerfish into the crafting recipe of Megalodon

Given that Archerfish does not upgrade into any other weapon along with the fact that megalodon is a post-Calclone weapon and has elements of megashark and abyss theme in it, it would make some sense to have Archerfish into its recipe thematically. Furthermore, since the megalodon is a type of aquatic animal and so is archerfish, it just seems correct to have it in its recipe otherwise, the archerfish is just seen as obsolete past Slime Gods and Wall of Flesh without any upgrade that it can be integrated in. On top of this, allowing Archerfish to be in the Megalodon recipe would allow Megalodon to get a functional upgrade, like a set of secondary bullets being shot out that are water bullet-like, similar to Seadragon's water rockets.

rework Purified jam so it's more usable

First of, give it in bigger quantities, cuz that's the main reason it's a forgotten item
Second of, change the 10/5 seconds immunity into significantly increased defense and/or immunity frames, maybe, since it's for 10/5 seconds AND it gives u potion sickness it should increase your defense by 80 and immunity frames by 15, it wouldn't make u invincible but it would still work the way it's supposed to
All of those are examples so that you get the basic idea of what I'm talking about
The reason I think this should be done is because simple 10 seconds of immunity is kind of boring for such a limited item if I say so myself, the 2nd reason is that 10/5 seconds immunity is kind of op for scal for example as you can just use the purified jam for bullet hell phases, 3rd reason is because since this item is pretty useful it creates fear of wasting it because of the quantity it's giving you 4th reason is because, even tho it's a useful item people just forget about it because of the reasons stated above, it's scary to use and pretty lame for such a limited item

Increase multiplayer boss health scaling or prevent people from respawning in a multiplayer boss fight

Multiplayer as it is is absurdly easy, even with just 2 people you can steamroll any boss without much effort. This is due to the fact that the health scaling for bosses in 2 player multiplayer is 164% while you have double the firepower and only one person needs to take agro of the boss, not to mention you can die while the other person is alive and respawn during the bossfight. Many people including myself play multiplayer because it's just more fun in general when there are more people, I would personally prefer to keep the same level of difficulty as singleplayer while enjoying it with a friend. The reason why I didn't mention boss health scaling in the mod config is because it doesn't actually work in multiplayer, so if none of these suggestions are implemented, at least fix that.

Make SCal Resume a Toned-Down Version of her Attacks (similar to her attacks while Sepulcher is alive) while Remaining Invincible if her Brothers are Alive for too Long

The brothers' phase of the SCal fight is slower-paced than the rest of it, which means it's a lot easier to dodge the attacks consistently without being hit. The brothers fit perfectly fine into the fight, giving a temporary dip in intensity and giving you something new to dodge, but because of how much slower and generally less dangerous they are, they are often camped to wait for healing potion cooldowns, natural life regeneration, and other cooldowns. Making SCal continue fighting along side the brother(s) after a certain amount of time would make it so killing the brothers quickly in fear of SCal attacking would be at a much higher priority, meaning that the brothers would be less campy and actually fighting them would be the main goal of the phase.

Give rev+ moonlord more attacks/increase damage or attack speed

I played through calamity my first time, always excited by the new changes made to the vanilla bosses. My first play through was a death mode melee, and when I got to ml, I beat him first try, by accident, while planning to farm the pillars. I did this with hydrothermic armor and the entropic claymore. He just doesn’t do enough damage or attack fast enough to really be a threat.
All I did was run along a sky bridge and I basically no hit him. If he’s easier than in vanilla, I think he should at least be harder than the bosses around him, as plaguebringer Goliath was much harder, Astrum Deus was harder, and even ravager was more challenging. Overall, I think that the community will agree with me on this, as i have seen similar complaints elsewhere, moonlord is much too easy at the moment.
I think that he should have a damage or attack speed buff to add some more challenge to the fight, as currently, you can run along an asphalt platform and ignore every attack except the death ray, which you can just face tank anyway. My suggestion is to make all of the eyes able to shoot lasers, not just the forehead eye. I am not suggesting that they all shoot at once, but rather that they all have a chance to shoot, to add a bit of unpredictability to the fight

**Add Rogue Variants of Hardmode Ore Helmets**

So, I'm someone who plays Calamity a lot, and I absolutely love the Rogue class. However, during Early Hardmode, it has one, slightly obnoxious problem: Armor.

Currently, Rogue only has the Titan Heart and Forbidden Armor (with the Forbidden Circlet) to actually use Stealth in early Hardmode (pre-Mech). Even Summoner, which is widely considered the worst (Vanilla) class in terms of equipment, has more armor sets than that (Spider, Forbidden, and Mollusk). And, although I usually just defeat Cryogen before the Twins and go for Daedalus Armor, it would be much more convenient for many Rogue players if each Hardmode Ore had its own helmet for the Rogue class.

**Rework boring set bonuses.**

Many calamity set bonuses follow this pattern: upon hitting an enemy you spawn a projectile that does a certain percentage of your weapons damage. This is seen in all of the set bonuses for hydrothermic armor except for the summoner one, the reaver ranged and melee helmet, as well as several others. These types of set bonuses are effective, but they feel boring. This is because they aren't unique, as many calamity armors as well as the vanilla orichcalcum and spectre set have them. But it's also because you don't have to engage with the armor in any meaningful way. Armors such as the prismatic set which have activated abilities are much more fun to use since they force you to interact with the armor to unlock its full potential.

In addition, these set bonuses also don't provide any meaningful trade-offs, such as a loss of damage in exchange for more regen. Set bonuses that focus on trade-offs immediately make the armors more unique and engaging by offering a clear specialization and encouraging adopting a specific playstyle. Because they lack activated abilities or meaningful trade-offs, these armors set bonuses simply feel like an extra % of damage.

Add Auric Tesla Wings

Auric armor sets don't have a wing to augment them.

Two main solutions could be making Auric Tesla wings of some kind, or using Drew's wings for this purpose.

Drew's wings:
Either make Drew's wings craftable instead of dropping from yharon, or just add effects to Drew's wings as they are.
If made craftable, it should require the 4 auric tesla bars from the tracer recipe, along with wings made of the post moon Lord materials. This would also require adding God Slayer wings, which should also interact with God Slayer revive similarly to Silva wings with Silva invulnerability. Possibly add lunar wings to the recipe. If this is done, then auric bars would be removed from the Celestial tracers recipe. It just seems weird to me that Drew's wings just drop from yharon.

New auric wings:
Craft in the same way Drew's wings would be crafted in the previous paragraph, but they are separate items with different stats. Augmentations to auric armor could be a plain stat boost based on headgear similar to the hoverboard, or they could interact with the special abilities of the armor like Silva and my proposed God Slayer wings.

I understand that Drew's wings serve the purpose of endgame stand alone wings, but I've never seen them used for any purpose other than crafting celestial tracers. Celestial tracers should stand alone as the final boot upgrade, but Auric Tesla and God Slayer armors are missing out on the wings given to Silva and tarragon.

Well I came up with a solution ( I THINK ), which is to make dodges have a counter scarf like effect. You will have a 100% dodge chance for ex counter scarf has a dodge build into its dash. This will make it so there is no rng and since there is a cooldown it cannot be spammed.This is a solution because dodging can make it so u can dodge every attack coming at you with good rng and not even dodge any with bad rng.

**Add an ultimate hammer or hamaxe to compliment the Crystyl Crusher**

We already have a pickaxe that can destroy the world near-instantaneously, why do we have to take all day destroying the walls it leaves behind? The Grax and Hydraulic Volt Crasher, our current best options, are very slow compared to the Crystyl Crusher.

**Change weapons with projectile limits (e.g. Terra Disk and Stratus Sphere) to shoot slower (and have higher damage if necessary) in exchange of their limit removal.**

Weapons with hard projectile limits don't feel as natural as other weapons because of the feeling that you're hardcapped. Removing hard projectile limits on a couple weapons along with a decrease in fire rate (Subsuming Vortex is an example) would make them more natural to use, as they would have "soft projectile limit" from the higher use time. Damage increase can also be applied if such is necessary.

📎 picardia.png

**Emote suggestion :Picardia: or :CoolAndGood:**

i am suggesting this emote because its versatile, it can be used in many different situations wether it is giving someone a compliment, expressing anger, or for jokes. i know that we have wegud and wedragud but hear me out. One special thing that makes :picardia: different from these two emojies is its unique facial expression, which can be used to express many different feelings. wegud and are only good at expressing "good" or "happy" feelings, whereas, :picardia: can be used to express many different feelings ( anger, happiness, etc ) just because of its facial expression.

examples:

"when i was trying to do x in z game, y killed me when i was doing x, :picardia:" ( anger )

"Correcting me is a bannable offence, don't do it again :picardia:" ( joke )

**Make the teleportation to underworld during boss rush WoF more consistent**

Currently during the boss rush, when you get teleported to underworld, you're teleported to random spot there, this can be inside a building or in air pocket in the ash.

Getting teleported inside a structure or a pocket allows WoF to deal some/lot of damage super easily if it manages to get to the player fast enough.
This also pretty much makes RoD or normality relocator to be essential part of your loadout due to chance of getting trapped.

Making it so you get teleported to 1 or few defined spots in underworld (Example: 300 blocks to west starting from middle of the world) would make teleportation tools for this fight no to so necessary, it would also allow the player use their original WoF arena and not get trapped somewhere.

An even better option would be to allow the player themself define the location where they wish to teleport.

**Give Crabulon a buff post plantera and allow him to drop Shroomite Bars.**

?

Crabulon is one of the odder bosses in calamity, not having too much importance, but still being an enjoyable and memorable fight. Shroomite bars don’t make as much sense as Spectre Bars do, as the glowing mushroom biome does not become more prevalent post plantera unlike the dungeon. Thus, I suggest giving Crabulon a buff post-plant and allowing him to drop Shroomite bars, giving both an explanation for why Shroomite bars are made when they are, and giving Crabulon another chance to shine (in a similar vein to Astrum Aureus being buffed after Moon Lord’s defeat).

**Rework Astral Armor.**

Astral armor isn't bad, but it feels boring and unnecessary. This is due to astral armor lacking a clear specialization that makes it distinct from other armors available post-golem. Astral is neither focused on offense nor defense. It does have fairly high defense, but the lack of any other defensive stats or abilities make it pretty unappealing as an defensive armor. Its offense isn't horrible, with decent stats and a minion slot boost that can lead to a little extra multi-class damage, but is nothing special compared to hydrothermic armor, beetle armor, or the other armors available post-golem. These armors are good enough to defeat the moon lord, so there isn't really a need for an extra generalist armor that lacks a clear purpose. The most intriguing thing currently about astral armor is that it's a multiclass set. Leaning into that idea and having a set bonus that focuses on multiclassing by offering an incentive to do it would seperate astral from other armors, making it more unique.

**Make chests in lower levels of the abyss contain higher tier loot, but require having beaten certain bosses to be opened**

Right now, the entirety of the abyss contains only shadow chests. Every chest contains the same tier of weapons, despite lower levels having much stronger enemies. I suggest that the abyss implement new kinds of chests that require certain bosses to be dead to be opened (like Astrum Aureus with the Astral Chest), but contain stronger loot.

For example, tier 2 chests might start spawning in level 3 of the abyss as oppose to shadow chests, and require CalClone to be dead before they can be opened. This could also prevent early obtaining of Terminus, as maybe Polterghast or another late game boss could unlock the final abyss chest.

This would provide more merit to revisiting the abyss later in the game. Not only that, but even in the late game, it gives more reward for actual exploration, where currently exploration at that stage is very lacking.

Suggested chests progression is below, although everything could be modified

Tier 1 (Shadow chests) : Post Skeletron, Abyss layer 2
Tier 2 : Post CalClone, Abyss layer 3
Tier 3 : Post ML, bottom of Abyss layer 3 and top of Abyss layer 4
Tier 4 (Terminus) : Post Polterghast, bottom of Abyss

**Either remove gameplay effects from boss lore items or make them more significant.**

Why : Currently, the majority of boss lore items are either
-Straight up useless Like the Golem lore being stupidly unuseable or the destroyer lore that gives an unnoticeable boost to your mining speed
-Straight up boosts If you dont count all the straight up boost ones like the grab range ones, theres still the EoC lore that you just have to disable at day to avoid the downside, or Desert Scourge lore giving you a -2.5% damage nerf when most weapons at that tier dont even reach enough damage for the nerf to matter at all

And sometimes, theres even some that just end up being broken with obscure combos and cause balancing headaches (DoG lore)
And so we end up with most of them being incredibly forgettable unimpactful stat tradeoffs (Compare that to Dimensional soul artifact for example which is a lot more useful).

Fix this by either changing the stat boosts to be more interesting than just minuscule stat boosts (see : calamitas clone lore, or slime god lore), or removing their gameplay effects and replacing them with cool visual effects instead (Worm lores giving trails when dashing, or lighning effects for SW for example). Of course, the rare interesting effects could simply be transfered to toggleable items like ball and chain or accessories. (Slime god lore could for example be turned into slippery boots or something of the sort)

**Replace the Tmodloader logo with the Calamity Mod logo**

The suggestion title speaks gor itself, replacing the Tmodloader logo at the main menu with Calamity Mod logo would add a much better atmosphere to the mod. Combined with the Calamity Mod main menu music it makes the Calamity Mod feel like its a completely new game. Also, if it is possible, replace the background with various biomes or bosses from the Calamity mod, or perhaps use the artwork created by many artists.

**Make Death Mode boss spawns more common and take less time to spawn**

Over the course of my current Death Mode playthrough, I have only encounter these spawns twice, both being pre-Skeletron. I think it would be more fun if this feature were more common in their occurrence. Maybe have a increase this occurrence in hardmode, then maybe again post-Moonlord. Another idea is in hardmode, or post-Moonlord just have some maybe slightly earlier bosses or current bosses just suddenly spawn, (though you may want to add something that makes it only spawn a certain distance from any NPCs, as to not slaughter them) as the player should be able to beat bosses they have already fought, which would add to the difficulty of Death Mode, but that's the point of Death Mode. Either way this would make this happen more than twice in the entirety of the game pre-Moonlord.

**Buff Yharon phase 2 or nerf phase 1**

At the moment, yharon phase 1 is way harder than phase 2 and it makes phase 2 feel way less important. During phase 1 yharon goes into a bullet hell phase. This attack is difficult because of all the projectiles and the fact that yharon starts to dash, which is the most damaging attack from him, as soon as he stops spinning while in phase 2, he doesn’t dash after the bullet hell. This attack happens in phase 2 but it happens way less often because phase 2 has many subphases that makes it longer to get to the bullet hell. If phase 1 was easier than phase 2, then phase 2 would feel like the real challenge.

**Add an pre-scal/post-Yharon-2 upgrade to the Shattered Sun**

With the Crystalline tree being relatively important for a fair portion of the game, it feels fitting for the Crystalline to get a final upgrade that can be crafted with Auric Tesla. Especially how there is a lack of pre-scal rogue weapons (only the Celestus, Supernova and Plasma Grenades). Having another pre-scal weapon would be fun and enjoyable as there is more variety for the Rogue Class.

**Remove ammo damage, make debuff application on chance for later ammos, and buff ranged weapon damage in exchange.**

Ammo damage in Terraria (and undoubtedly, Calamity as well) is one of the reasons ranger is both overpowered and boring. The existing ammo system makes it an arbitrary 2nd progression that you need to oblige if you want actual DPS.

Removing ammo damage and rebalancing ammo effects would make access to new ammos feel like adding into the variety of ammo, instead of forcing the player to use that specific ammo in order to not suffer.

**Add a fast-travel network between Draedon labs.**

❔ : Pre-Hardmode is characterized by the lack of mobility and time spent slowly travelling from place to place. Adding a fast-travel network between labs would alleviate the time spent in Pre-Hardmode walking and would encourage players to find and claim labs to add another node to be able to warp to. This would give a new purpose to an already existing structure and speed up the pace of a slow part of the game.

**Add more traps made of draedon items**

the strongest traps in the game are the ones in the temple, and they pose very little threat provided you have 400 hp, I am proposing you add traps for the arsenal labs that can replace or work in tandem with the existing turrets, the traps that appear in the lab will be weak but there will be craftable ones made of later game material, scaling with each stage of the draedon weapon progression this would be helpful for any sort of multiplayer minigame that players would create, maybe even some niche uses outside of this.

Give bosses a different type of charge alert.(when the boss is about to charge into the player)

Specifically, give them the effect that The Empress of Light has when she's about to charge.(the effect which makes the boss appear around itself for some seconds)Or give them a charge warning that will actually allow the player to notice it.

I suggested this because the movements that a boss makes may not be noticable while fighting and unexpected.
The effect/particles of The Empress of Light look more appealing and give the boss a great effect, plus it is more noticeable and a bit more...cool.
(P.s) Not for all bosses. E.g. EoC, EoW etc.(in other words: bosses that do a lot of charges in less than 5 seconds or so)

**Add a "crosshair" to the Plaguebringer Goliath's dashes which displays opposite the direction she intends to begin her next dash from, relative to the player character.**

❔
PBG's dashes, to newer players in particular, can feel extremely unfair due to the distinct lack of a proper telegraph on them and the pseudo-random nature of her dash directions. Adding a way to tell where exactly she'll be dashing to in relation to the player will add a sense of fairness which the dashes tend to lack currently, and a crosshair opposite the dash's starting point feels perfect for adding that sense of fairness while not really changing how the dashes currently work.

**Make the 2 worms Astrum Deus splits into distinguishable via one being bright orange and one being bright cyan**

Why? For many people, myself included, it is difficult to distinguish which worm is which when astrum deus splits. The main strategy of the fight is to focus down one of the worms, because if one worm dies they both do. But because of the fact that both worms look exactly alike, players will lose track of which worm is which, and will glance at the health bars to try and distinguish which worm they’re hitting. This then leads to the player getting hit a bunch because they had to pay attention to something else on the screen, which then leads to inevitable death. Even if they don’t die, them accidentally going after the wrong worm will prolong the fight way longer than it should last, which just makes the fight feel like a drag. If the worms were distinctly color coded (I.e one worm being a bright orange and one worm being a bright cyan) players wouldn’t have to endure losing track of which worm is which, and in turn the fight with Deus wouldn’t drag out as much. Also, it’d reflect and compliment the little intro with the astral beacon, with the two energies spheres combining into one!

These weapons all outclass and do more dps than what old dukes weapons do. For a hard boss that is post polter should feel more rewarding. Like buffing their damage should put them into line with other weapons, because so far there is barely any use barring the old duke sentry which is useful, but the other ones like fetid emesis is outclassed by dodu handcannon and it shouldnt feel that way

**Nerf Deathmode Bloodmoons Blood Orbs**

?

No, this is not about the difficulty in regards to early game Deathmode blood moons, but is in regards to blood orb farming. Deathmode Blood Moons completely trivialize acquiring what is supposed to be a scarce and hard to come by resource. The fact that you have a 400% spawn boost rate and a 900% maximum spawn count boost that stacks with other effects makes it trivially easy to put down a few chaos candles, Zerg, and have a couple stacks of what is supposedly a rare resource.
