**Make Phaseslayer's "rotation per second to damage" scaling increase to the player's melee speed.**

Phaseslayer is a somewhat interesting weapon that gains higher damage the faster the weapon is spun. This weapon, much like its successor, Murasama, currently isn't affected by melee speed. The proposition to make the damage scaling based on the weapon's angular velocity raise relative to melee speed is to make the weapon a bit more rewarding to use with melee speed bonuses. Not only that, the player is also physically moving the weapon around, melee speed should at least boost its stats in some way.

**change the BoC charge attack to make it more difficult **

in the current version of the attack BoC and it's illusion clones do a spin away from the player then charge them
this attack is easy to dodge and only a threat when the clones look exactly like BoC itself as the brain goes too far back allowing the player too much time to look at each brain.
instead make BoC spin around the player before backing away for a little and charging, this does a couple of things:

1. gives more resemblance to the hive mind's attacks where he often teleport before spinning around then charging at the player
2. will confuse the player a bit by needing of them more consecration to watch the right brain as all 4 models spin around you.
3. be a good add on to the concept of BoC which in vanilla is heavily debuff based giving BoC a way to confuse the player without making use of annoying and convoluted/extremely powerful debuffs like confusion, cursed and silent.

**Add more early-game content to planetoids (and the Sky/Space layer in general).**

❔
The Sky/Space layer has always been something of an oddity amongst vanilla and modded Terraria playthroughs for being, in most cases, completely and utterly irrelevant for most of the game. While Calamity does take a nice step in the right direction for fixing this by adding planetoids (one of which has a hopefully-important lab encased within it), there isn't really much else to do in the high skies for most of the game. The point in the game where this could be remedied easiest is early-game, where the player doesn't have enough stuff to completely nullify it but can get enough stuff to survive (mid- to late pre-boss ish). Adding some more unique content to the planetoids that generate up there, such as the bio lab in the main planetoid, can help to entice people into going up there for more than just a massive stash of resources with no danger in sight.

**make planetoids an option upon world gen or make them less abundant**

This might just be me but I personally feel like the planetoids are a bit unnecessary,
For multiple reasons

1. this only affects a very small minority probably, but I personally spend a lot of my time in calamity in space,
   I fight bosses In space, I grind mobs in space, I have farms in space simply because that's where it won't affect my terrain too much, and also space is the least laggy place and clearing out planetoids is just kind of tedious, especially when you never intended on using them in the first place

2. similar to 1). If you never intend on using the planetoids then why should you bother with them, sure, you can use dynamites and stuff to get rid of them, but it's just unnecessarily tedious, yet again, because you never cared much about them.

3. planetoids can be op, so people that don't want to use the planetoids for easy pre boss skip can just disable them, or making them less common would reduce the loot you get from them. Detonating them isn't an option cuz you get the loot and I doubt people would trash the loot.

4. this one is probably more subjective than the others but, they feel really forced, i mean, they are pretty large scale, probably more than anything else. (excluding biomes ofc)
   And since it is so large scale you would expect it to be at least more worthwhile (in a fair way)
   But no, there's nothing on planetoids that you can't get by other means, for example
   Gems
   Ores
   Life crystals
   Even exodium clusters and iirc cinderplate

Maybe, so that people actually experience planetoids first you could make it so that you have to defeat moon lord, or scal so that that option is unlocked, like the wof/evil biomes option

**Make on-hit effects from weapons, accesories, armors, etc, to not be triggered by enemies spawned by enemy statues**

Enemy statues can be abused by many ways and purposes in favor of the player in an unfair and un-balanced way by triggering these effects. Most noticable of them are on-hit effects that can heal the player such as Terra Edge, for example. Other uses can vary such as accesories effects and armor can be abused too. A former solution to fix this unfairness and unbalance problem is to inihibit the ability of on-hit effects to be triggered on enemies spawned via enemy statues.

**Remove worm boss starting DR after first defeat**

Thanks to this feature, most worm bosses cannot be shredded within the first few seconds of spawning, which is good since it prevents cheesing worms. However, some bosses require alot of grinding to get certain drops. This includes worm bosses (sea's searing, SHPC, shadow scales, souls of might, lunar fragments). Removing the feature after the first time the boss is defeated will make boss farming easier and more convenient. An alternative is a toggle rather than a permanent change to this.

**Replace the tiny planetoids (aka nearly all planetoids except for the big one) with sky island variations.**

Planetoids don't feel as unique as Sky Islands, since there's a bajillion of them (many of which are tiny and uninteresting) hile there's like, what, 3 sky islands. Planetoids also don't have unique loot, while sky islands have unique chests with unique items.
Replacing most of the planetoids with new sky island variations could solve a lot of the issues with planetoids in general. Some of these sky island variants could be based on some actually interesting planetoids, such as jungle islands, islands with sword shrines, etc. This could also be a good starting point for new items to make them more interesting.
The main planetoid with Draedon's base should be kept anyways, since with the removal every other planetoid, it might feel unique again for once.

**Buff Mounts**

?

Mounts in Calamity are mostly outclassed and very rarely useful. Most of them focus on granting the player much higher mobility, but Calamity's wings and boots already give fantastic mobility, without limiting the tight maneuverability and dodging crucial for boss fights. They can be useful for traveling around the world, but there already is the Burden Breaker, teleporters, and Astral Arcanum to let you travel instantly. There are a small handful of exceptions though. Slime mount is one of the only useful mobility mounts, because high downward speed is very rare and helpful, and slow infinite flight mounts are useful for building.

The other, more notable and important exceptions are the Shrimpy Truffle and the Tundra Leash. Each of them provides bonuses, damage (while "wet") for the Truffle and damage reduction for the Leash, as long as you're mounted. These benefits are very powerful, and could be used to help buff more mounts. Making mounts give you more effects, in exchange for their current lower maneuverability in boss fights, would make them much more appealing options during said fights.

**Make Mimics spawnable by the player**

A lot of mimic drops are very useful, especially in early hardmode, and are even more necessary in late game because some of them are used in long crafting chains like that of the Deific Amulet and its upgrades. However, there is currently no way to manually spawn them like there is for evil/hallowed mimics, and finding them naturally is, at best, annoying.

Allowing the player to manually spawn them, either by placing a golden key in a chest once hardmode starts or adding a new item that can be used to spawn mimics would fix this issue and reduce the amount of grinding at the beginning of hardmode.

**Make Polterghast drop more phantoplasm**

Auric Tesla bars require ascendant spirit essences (5 phantoplasm each) to be crafted, which means 2.5 phantoplasm per Auric bar. Polterghast drops 20-30 phantoplasm in revengeance or above.

If you want to make 50 Auric bars, you'll need to fight Polterghast roughly 15 times, give or take based on luck, phantoplasm dropped from enemies, and phantoplasm already used in other items.
(From one Polterghast fight, you can get enough phantoplasm for 4-5 ascendant spirit essences on average.)

I think it's a bit annoying having to farm this boss every time I need more Auric Tesla bars for something. Imo, raising the amount it drops in each mode by 10-15 would help a lot

Add a potion to avoid the sulphuric poisoning

**Rework/rebrand the Ocean Crest into something that relates more closely to the Desert Scourge in particular.**

(An example could be having the accessory augment food buffs in some fashion.)

❔
The Ocean Crest is a lovely accessory according to just about anybody you'll ever talk to, and that's fine, but there are two problems with it:

1. Its functionality better suits something obtained from the Ocean/Sulf Sea, the Sunken Sea, or the Abyss in terms of thematics --- infinite waterbreathing doesn't really relate all that well to a massive dried-up worm that eats everything.
   b) Infinite waterbreathing on an accessory is kinda really powerful and giving it to the player as early as post-DS can prove to trivialize a lot of otherwise fascinating exploration trips involving the various seas.
   Reworking the accessory to be something different and more relevant to the Desert Scourge's theme would prevent people from just being able to go anywhere underwater for free so early on, make Arctic Diving Gear and the like more relevant, and help connect the item to the boss it drops from. Furthermore, this would make the Aquatic Emblem --- the Aquatic Scourge's Expert drop which is just a better Ocean Crest currently --- distinct from the Ocean Crest itself and thus make both of them more unique, as currently the relation between them makes them both rather bland.

Rework heart statue availability

Heart statues are extremely useful, even borderline gamebreaking, from the point you recruit the mechanic to the point you defeat scal. However, it's completely up to luck how many you find or if you even find any at all. I've had playthroughs where I found 5 and playthroughs where I found 0.
I think there are two good solutions to this:

1. Make them craftable. Simple, straightforward, and easy to implement.
2. Remove the chance for them to generate randomly during worldgen, and instead make a set number of them generate guaranteed in certain locations. For example, one will always generate in the dungeon and one will always generate in the temple, while no others will generate elsewhere.

**Rework Wulfrum armor's set bonus.**

Wulfrum armor has been in a stiff competition with a lot of other early game armors, particularly Desert Prowler, Snow Ruffian and Victide. You exert roughly the same effort to get Wulfrum armor just for a worse version of Victide. Additionally, its set bonus is really bland in comparison, and you can't really play around with it as it's just additional stat with HP threshold. Reworking the set and its bonus would make the armor actually a feasible option to be used instead of having to compete for Victide for the rest of its life.

One idea to achieve this can be, but won't be limited to, making the armor omni-class (not catering to specific ones), with its set bonus reworked to involve the "supercharge" method from Wulfrum Pylons.

Blood Orbs even go against herbs, as they allow you to make potions without even touching a single herb seed.

Buffing herbs, such as making them produce more potions when crafted with them, would make farming them much more appealing.

**Fix early game armor damage stat increases**

The whole vanilla early game armor situation has been in jeopardy for a long time, and i really think calamity could improve it. The current problem is that early game armor damage stat increases synergise poorly with early game damage. Its no use to have a +3% increased magic damage on wulfrum armor ,for example , when your weapons deal 10 to 20 damage at that point, which results on a whopping 1 damage point increase, rounding it on average. In fact, many would argue that the only values someone cares about in early game armor are defense, and their setbonuses.

It doesn't matter if the weapon deals 1 damage or 30, the low percentages makes it so at the end , your armor will increase your damage by +1 point each, and thats a problem.

What can we do to solve this?

One approach to the solution would be to add flat values such as +3 class weapon damage, for example, to early game armor, instead of being percentage-based. Very opportune exceptions can be applied to early game weapons that would overbenefit from this such as the minishark and belladona staff in the name of balance, and not get as big of a flat number increase as the rest of the weapons, such as, "If the weapon damage relies on fast hits, it increases the damage by +1". A similar exception system is currently being applied with Luxor's Gift, except this would be far easier to do since the damage difference is very small.

Another approach would be, increase substantially the value of the damage modifiers to early game pre-hm armors (>+20% damage increase) so it matches properly the weapon damage of that stage of the game. This would not mess with the current balance of higher tiered armors since they already give 20%+ increase in damage, on top of the defense, critical, misc stats and any potential setbonus they might have, so the player would not consider wearing, for example, wulfrum armor for harder encounters.

In Revengeanace or higher, the True Eyes of Cthulhu behave differently, sticking closer together and always having their attacks synced such that they all do the same attack at the same time. This is a bit of a wasted opportunity in my opinion, as despite being simultaneous, coordinated, and consistent, the True Eyes will just do three copies of the same attack, which is almost never more deadly than just one.
If they all did more unique attacks one all three were out (like all collectively shooting a much larger ring of Phantasmal Spheres or circling around the player when they fire the Phantasmal Bolts), it would be a lot more interesting to dodge and wouldn't be pretty much the same as dodging one True Eye.

**Modify early game armor bonuses to give extra damage bonuses to low-damage weapons**

There is a consistent problem in early pre-hardmode in which early damage bonuses have to be low to maintain balance against relatively high-damage weapons, but in being so low, tend to have negligible effects and getting cancelled by rounding calculations (most notably visible in the Wulfrum set's puny 3% damage increase). Additionally, early weaponry that attacks quickly tends to both further suffer from percentage-based boosts while over-benefiting from flat-rate boosts.
As such, I propose early armor damage bonuses be changed to give an additional damage bonus for weapons below some arbitrary base damage cutoff. In theory, this should only benefit weapons that do low amounts of damage without pushing early pre-hardmode armors into glass cannon territory once they get otherwise outclassed.

**Make More Visual Effects Toggleable**

The "hide accessory" is not used enough. Many of Calamity's accessories, equipment, etc. have extra visual effects that cannot be disabled. For example, the Rover Drive is a relatively useful early prehardmode accessory. It has a visual effect that cannot be disabled, which purposefully covers up your character. One early game accessory wouldn't be cause for concern, but if The Sponge is reworked to actually add all of the effects of its ingredients (rover drive included), then a late game accessory many players use will conflict with any fashion the player is using.
Of course, there are more items. For another example, the Demonshade armor set is basically required in order to do boss rush in any amount of time under one century. It summons an undyeable pseudo-minion that barely even matches the design scheme of the armor itself in appearance. It cannot be disabled, and clashes with many armor designs, including the actual Demonshade set.
The Heart of the Elements is an example of how this can be done well. By making the elementals toggleable in exchange for stat increases, you vastly improve what could potentially be a massive source of screen clutter. Instead, it is an optional effect.

The Sulphurous Sea currently has a mechanic where it gives you certain drops at certain Fishing power ranges, making it much easier to acquire the items you actually want.

Worms in Calamity get extremely high damage reduction upon spawning in order to prevent players from cheesing the worms by spamming attacks at its coiled region for insane amounts of damage. While this is not a bad change, there is almost no way to tell whether the worm currently has its damage reduction or not without hitting it and seeing whether you're doing more than one damage. This can lead players to attack early, wasting stealth strikes/mana/rage/etc. or attack late, wasting what could have been an optimal time for attacking.

This problem can easily be solved by adding some sort of indicator to this mechanic. This indicator could be a visual change such as the worm being a different color when resisting damage, or an auditory change, such as a sound effect playing when the damage reduction wears off.

**Rework obsidian armor**

obsidian armor got a rework that made it a rogue armor set. This sounds acceptable since it does almost nothing in vanilla. Obsidian armor now give 3 seconds of lava
immunity(like lava charm but only 3 secs) and obsidian skull effect, it sounds great but would anyone prefer wearing this armor set than drinking obsidian skin potion and equip obsidian skull?
One example of a good change is Eskimo armor(the general effect is to help the player survive in snow biome, check vanilla changes on wiki for detail). The effects are quite unique and prove to be useful when the player is gathering materials in snow biome.
An idea is to change the damage bonuses from obsidian armor into mining speed bonuses, as well as put "reduce the damage taken from fire related enemies" on top of that. Since you can craft obsidian armor right when you get nightmare/deathbringer pickaxe (assuming you don't bomb obsidian), and nightmare/deathbringer pickaxe is intended to be used to mine hellstone in underworld with(where a lot of fire enemies can easily kill you), this armor genuinely feels more like a mining-focused armor set than combat focused. And, since obsidian skin potion exist and is hella busted(it makes every phm heat immunity accessory useless), obsidian armor should give more bonuses that just heat-related protection because no one will use a more expensive solution when a cheaper one exist(in this case, obsidian skin pots).

**Rework Gladiator armor to be more javelin-focused.**

Gladiator armor is changed into a rogue armor in Calamity. Despite that, the set still feels quite bland with only added simple rogue stats on its pieces and mandatory stealth set bonus. Adding a unique set bonus focused on rogue javelins (parallel to what Terraria and real life Hoplites use) would make the armor a slight bit interesting, if not better, to use.

One idea is to make rogue javelins deal much more damage and travel much faster at the exchange of slower fire rate.

make the astral start to spread after astrum aureus/deus is killed

i think since the astral infection is a space virus, it should spread like a virus. killing one of the bosses would probably release a bunch of virus particles and toxins to kickstart the spread. to avoid it taking over the world, it could the same shape, but smaller when WoF is killed.

Add a mechanic that shows whether a boss is enraged or not.

When fighting a boss such as the Ceaseless Void, it can become tedious to buy thousands of unsafe dungeon bricks from the Clothier, and it would be easier to just be able to see whether the boss is enraged. This also ensures the player isn't accidentally making a fight harder for themselves than they have to.

**Change how Wulfrum enemies drop their items Post-Wall of Flesh**

Wulfrum enemies are early-game enemies that provide with a small armor and weapon tier pre-boss, but past that and two accessories that combine into lategame gear there is nothing really to Wulfrum enemies.. They simply exist.
So with that knowledge, it can be rather annoying when wulfrum enemies spawn only to get immediately decimated but drop items way past your tier that you will likely never use. What I propose is the drop rates for their scrap and energy cores go way down past Hardmode so there is simply less unnecessary item clutter. Also for clarification I only mean the metal scrap and energy cores, not their accessory drops as those are necessary for some later crafts.

**Rework or Replace Unnecessary Melee/Fighter AI Enemies in the Post-Moonlord Moons/Solar Eclipse**

The post-moonlord buffed events are very grindy, and I don't think this is due to a lack of things to get, but rather the enemy variety. In the Solar Eclipse, for example, the only things that will be able to touch you with your post-moonlord mobility are Mothron, Eyezore, and sometimes Nailheads--everything else is constrained to the ground, and just act as damage sponges until you have to land, which isn't frequently. This applies in the same way to the other events, with normal enemies being almost useless despite heavily buffed stats.
The Tier 3 Acid Rain, an event designed for post-Moonlord, is a great example of how to do this well. All the enemies shoot projectiles in some way, creating a dynamic and naturally flowing bullet hell that's interesting to dodge through while killing minibosses with more specific patterns and enemies in breaks between.
If these enemies were reworked or replaced with enemies with better anti-aerial capabilities, it would make these events a lot less grindy and a lot more interesting and challenging. Even just a few slow projectiles or projectiles on death.

**Add an additional visual or audio feedback for the DoG state changes / the anti-air punishment charge**

How the DoG passive/aggressive states work are a crucial part of the fight. They're also unintuitive and easy to miss, with no clue to its current state or even the existence of states at all in death mode other than a debuff that you'd have to assume signifies an entire shift in behavior, despite it not mentioning it.

It's easy to chock the background color changes up to an aesthetic choice. Early phases will not punish you for missing this assumption. When you get punished for failing to realize the boss has different behavior states late in phase 2, you're more likely to associate the fast tracking charges with its massive speed buff than with the background colors from early in the fight - especially since the game intentionally removes them whenever his health gets low enough, and they are missing entirely in death mode. Either the game doesn't give you clues, or by the time they matter you've been taught to ignore them, leading to frustrating and seemingly arbitrary deaths that don't teach you about the deterministic mechanic you are expected to manipulate to win the fight.

A unique and clear audio-visual cue for the triggering of the aerial punishment charge could let the player know that they did something wrong, while not telling them explicitely what phase the boss is in before they make the mistake, requiring intuition just as before to predict the state changes, but with feedback telling them there's a non-arbitrary reason that the charge was faster and tracked better. A special death message for getting killed by the charge during that state could help to explain things even further, hinting at why the intentionally more dangerous charge was triggered.

**Allow players to set the defense, debuff immunity, contact damage and damage reduction of super dummies**

The purpose of super dummies are to allow players to test the real dps of weapons, but as most bosses have defense/damage reduction, the damage numbers will always differ from the actual dps in a boss fight. Allowing players to set the defense and dr with a command would make them more useful and make the dps numbers more accurate.
A lot of bosses are immune to various debuffs, which are inflicted by some weapons at the same stage(i.e. scal ). Allowing players to toggle debuff immunity based on the list of debuff immunity a boss have will allow the player to test a weapon's dps more accurately and know the effectiveness of the debuffs(one thing is most post ml bosses are immune to marked but end game weapons like tyranny's end still inflict them, making the dps number go higher than what they should be). This also provides the player a way to know the debuff immunities of a boss without having to go to wiki every time.
Various accessory/armor effects such as god slayer melee set upon taking a hit/nebulus core deal some damage, but the numbers are unknown to most players unless they searched it up specifically. Some accessories like counter scarf also allowed players to dodge a damage source which then gives a damage buff. It is quite hard to test the effectiveness of the damage buff/the dodge because testing them on enemies are inaccurate as there's too much variables interfering with the test. Allowing players to toggle/set super dummies dealing contact damage will make testing the effectiveness of these accessories easier(also note that mirror blade deal increased damage the higher contact dmg an enemy deals, it'd be testable if we can set the contact damage of super dummies).

Better plantation Farming

Problem with the current situation
The bad part about farming herbs and making plantation farms is that the seed planting part is really slow and usually required you to take your dash/boots away so you can plant the seeds more easily.
You can harvest herbs really fastly with staff of regrowth but the annoying part is to plant the seeds back to the planter boxes since it is a way slower process.

Possible solution
Maybe you could give the staff an ability to plant seeds faster into the planter boxes?
Bonus points if there is a way to make it smart and only plant for example daybloom seeds into daybloom planter boxes.

End result
This would make plantation process a lot smoother and better since you could just quickly run and harvest the plants and then run and plant the seeds instead of quickly harvesting the plants but then having to plant the seeds back at a snails pace.

Changing the bloom slimes to be rarer but allow uelibloom to grow can make it more efficient to farm for, and make the ore more interesting and have it actually serve a purpose.
Ideas are, but not limited to:

• Allow uelibloom to spawn post ml like chlorophyte in hardmode, but limit it to only be minable post-providence so that when the player is preparing and fighting providence there is time for the ore to grow(like how the time spent to fight mechs are supposed to let chlorophyte grow).

**Replace Mana Cost on Summon Weapons with a Debuff that Lowers Summon Damage if the Duration gets too High**

(Naturally, Borealis Bomber is exempt from this)
Mana cost on summons is kinda strange. It forces the class to get mana upgrades despite not being mage, and by using mage accessories you can benefit some summons, like hermit crabs or sentries, more than a summoner accessory would--just because they use mana instead of something else. Additionally, this means that summoning minions or sentries with high mana costs before a fight gets really tiresome because you have to regen your mana. Also, using mana potions negates mana cost since mana sickness only debuffs magic damage, not summon damage.
If instead of mana, summon weapons gave a duration of a debuff that reduces your summon damage should you get too much of it, it doesn't make summons cost anything just by summoning them once (if it doesn't reduce summon damage immediately, but only after you have too much, as I suggest) but still deincentivises spamming them--while separating the class from mage and its mechanics.

**Give Relic of Deliverance some adjustments**

This item allows you to traverse the world in 2 click (or 2/3 for large worlds), you can click to change direction 3 times (4th cancels the spear after a while), on paper this sounds good for traveling and avoiding projectiles during boss fights (namely Providence) until you realize: bumping into a wall cancels it, needs to be clicked to change direction, cannot be canceled quickly and its better to just use burden breaker for traveling purposes.
Making it always aim towards the cursor
This will make it easier to maneuver around tighter areas and make it more useful during combat similarly to the other relics as well as useful for traversing the world and being able to maneuver around a build, mountain or even enemies while using it to travel, something that will differentiate it from burden breaker.
Making it so that it can be canceled easier
Making it you having to hold click with the item to be moving and releasing the mouse or swapping to another item will make it trigger the fading/ending of the spear will similarly help. This would make it a good alternative to burden breaker by making it not miss the point you want to go to by overshooting the place by a lot. To add to this it will also make it less awkward for combat and more usable during boss fights like Dragonfolly and DoG.
Making it have more linear acceleration rather than instant, also maybe increase its top speed when outside of boss fights
This would make it so that you cannot just gain an instant burst of speed during boss fights and prevent cheesing or gaining an unfair advantage, maybe making it require 7-15 seconds of using the item to gain acceleration would make it both usable in combat without being the terror that was pre-nerf bumbledoge or unicorn and extremely useful for traveling long distances

**Move Ravager to Post-Provi and make him the only source of Bloodstone**

?

Ravager, progression wise, currently exists in a nebulous Hardmode and Post-Provi point, not being locked behind any progression point and getting buffed after Providence is defeated. Additionally, Bloodstone is one of his drops Post-Providence, and it’s very fitting for a flesh golem. However, the same material is dropped by Clonelamitas, Brimstone Elemental, and the Brimstone Crag enemies/crates. While this does give new life and a rematch to those enemies, Clonelamitas is just a clone of SCal, so she doesn’t really need a rematch. You already get that rematch through SCal. Brimstone Elemental and the Crag enemies don’t have quite as good of a reason to drop Bloodstone thematically, at least not when compared to Ravager.

One could kill two birds with one two then by moving Ravager to Post-Provi, and by making him the sole source of Bloodstone. This would prevent any cheese with saving treasure bags or crates and opening them Post-Providence, and give Ravager a more solid place in progression. It would also make Bloodstone less of a thematic headache, being focused on one boss instead of three vaguely connected ones.

**Add an upgrade to Golden gun**

Golden gun is an useful debuff tool for all classes (specially summoner) that is used throughout the whole game. Strangely, unlike the similar Golden Shower it never gets an upgrade that allows it the infliction of other debuffs (like cursed flames) more conveniently (unlike Caustic staff because it wont take a minion slot (which will be more scarce next patch), longer lasting debuffs and not locked into only summoner). Adding an upgrade will allow other classes to have an extremely reliable way to inflict debuffs to cripple their enemies.

**Make goblin tinkerer spawn automatically after defeating the goblin invasion**

Right now, it takes a while to get goblin tinkerer, after beating the invasion you have to run around caves for a while, waiting for him to spawn, which isn't that common, and then you need to find him before he despawns or dies which can be really annoying. He should be able to arrive without first finding him underground after beating the goblin invasion.

**Make the dungeon a more dangerous place to explore, in return boosting the items from gold chests**

Dungeons in almost every single game are dangerous places filled with traps and powerful enemies guarding various treasures. In Terraria, our dungeon does have... some loot I guess. There are traps, but the type of traps are not dangerous because they either deal little damage(dart trap_ or can be destroyed with ease(spike). Aside from that, there's no other traps in the entire dungeon, which is quite disappointing to say the least. Going to the "powerful enemies'' part, we can see a lot of the dungeon enemies gets easily stunlocked by weapons from all classes(melee have mycelial claws, rangers have pumpler, mage have tradewinds, summoners have belladonna, rogue have mycoroot) and have too little defense/health to not get killed in singular hits(i.e. meteor fist 2-3 shot dungeon enemies most of the time). The only enemy that pose genuine threat are cursed skulls as they inflict the cursed debuff banning you from using items, which can be lethal. Aside from that, the problem the dungeon faces is the loot being downright garbage/completely useless. The only useful items are shadow key(unlocks underworld and abyss shadow chests) and cobalt shield which can keep you alive(kb immunity in pre hardmode) until you recall and craft it into obsidian shield. As most dungeon chest items are useless, the exploration of the dungeon becomes “grind for gold keys -> unlock random chest -> if it didn't have a shadow key then repeat”. This is quite sad, as the place’s huge potential is getting wasted. Giving the dungeon more traps and buffing the useless weapons would be a thought on fixing this problem.

**Rework Post-Skeletron Dungeon Weapons**

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LF_gn0lAnlXpkKFaFh_Pn4EsPmnP650rcqFDewrGu78/edit (This document contains info regarding more specifics surrounding each weapon and the possible reworks they could get)

Post-Skeletron Dungeon Weapons are pretty worthless, due to being easily outclassed both by Slime God Drops, and by Shadow Chest/Hellstone upgrades. There's practically no reason to use any of them, as they are either immediately upgraded into something else, outclassed, or are just plain bad like Aqua Scepter.

There's a couple ways to fix this problem, such as making certain ones not instantly upgraded (Muramasa and Handgun), as there's no reason to use them otherwise. Another method could be giving more unique status effects to the weapons, or making them pierce through walls like the Dark Casters' attacks.

**Specify multi-class helmets via a class tag on the bottom.**

Calamity adds a big chunk of multi-class armors, all having 5 helmets for each class, and each helmet having its own (somewhat unique) name.
The problem is, these "unique names" for each helmets often get mixed in every tier (for example, the Wulfrum Headgear is the ranger class helmet, while the Victide Headgear is rogue's) leading to bigger confusion regarding every armor set and its corrosponding class helmet.

You could argue that the description should tell you which helmet belongs to each class, but the helmet description are very hard to read, especially later on when they get longer and longer.

A solution to this can be easily done via adding a little tag to each class helmet specifying their class type, to allow easier crafting and to help avoid any confusion.

For weapon, I want to take as an examples Plaguenade, Shredder and Infinity(I think it is obvious how many projectiles do these weapons shoot). I could take too many examples, and from vanilla too, because it is everywhere and many people, that play with such a problem without any possibility to solve this are very annoyed. It would be great if we had some slider that give us possibility to change density of dust/projectiles, or kind of maximum amount of any visible dust/projectiles in-game(we already seen such an option in some minecraft mods - optifine, as an example), so we could control performance and quality balance.

There are so many more examples that i can't list out. a good idea would be to change these ammo to be more unique/does more than just inflict a debuff, which would make the wide range of ammunition not only focused on a few bullet/arrows that are outstandingly good.

**Prevent all bosses from dealing or receiving damage for a few seconds after spawning**

?

One of the most cheap ways to be hit in Terraria is when a boss or enemy spawns on top of you. Most notably Skeletron does this, and it makes it so you take almost guaranteed damage. It’s very cheap and forces you to use health pot or pan excessively around it. Additionally, a large amount of bosses have been changed to prevent them from dealing damage immediately after spawning, so that the player doesn’t get hit by any unfair shots. Thus, I propose that all bosses receive this condition, so that this problem doesn’t arise again.

**Specify the fact that Majestic Guard and Grand Guardian can keep reducing defense under a certain condition.**

These weapons have 2 unique traits: Small defense reduction on hits that isn't tied to a debuff, and healing when hitting enemies with no defense. On surface level, these don't seem to realistically do much together unless the player stacks defense reduction effects. But the fact that the weapons can keep reducing defense until the NPC affected changes their defense connects these 2 traits and makes them seemingly workable now.

Unfortunately, said fact isn't mentioned anywhere in the tooltip of these weapons. Adding this detail to their tooltips would make their function a slight bit clearer to the users.

"Cosmic terrors are watching..." informs the player of the existence of the sentinels right after Moon Lord's defeat even though progression wise they are after the defeat of Providence

most of melee is just swords. all classess excluding summoner and melee have a good balance in weapon variety, ranged has more or less as many bows as it has guns and mage has about as many tomes as it has staffs,
even if there is more of certain weapon type, its not as noticable with other classes as it is with melee.
its a shame really, melee has a lot of different weapon types, boomerangs; spears; swords; flails etc but they barely get any content at all (except yoyos maybe) and so,
certain swords that arent used as much could be replaced with a different subclass to give them another chance. for example, burnt sienna could be replaced with a flail-like weapon maybe, since at that tier you have like, 20 swords to choose from anyway.
terra edge has no reason for existing so it could also be replaced with a different subclass too.

**Rework Eldritch Soul Artifact to abolish its stat stick nature.**

Eldritch Soul Artifact (or ESA for short) is by far the worst "Soul Artifact" accessories and overall the more bland accessory throughout Calamity's arsenal. It's heavily reliant on basic stat sticks that also doesn't have a specific niche. Even though other non-donator Soul Artifacts are fairly simple as well (Dimensional making the player a glass cannon of sorts, and Godly just giving 2 chicken), they still have somewhat their own niches and can work under certain circumstances. ESA doesn't get this treatment and ends up being a basic accessory that no one seems to want to use.

Reworking ESA would make the accessory have at least a single niche to work off, and to make the accessory a slight bit interesting. One idea can be, but won't be limited to making the accessory revolve around consuming health in replacement to mana when using magic weapons without mana available.

A way to fix this is to make a locked underground prison area that is decently sized due to the amount of vengeful prisoner spirits were used to form polterghast. I see this as a big win because this will help with making an arena for polter and even ceaseless because the two bosses will enrage outside of the dungeon.

The Calamity Mod wasnt always this huge and amazing content mod that it is today. Like all mods, it started small, with 3 glitchy bosses, a few armor sets, materials and swords. It took the Calamity Mod 5 years to reach this point. It is important to know where this mod came from and how it evolved. This seperate channel might attract novice and expert historians alike, and maybe the topics discussed on the channel would inspire others to read about Calamity history and such.

This could apply to The Destroyer, Eater of Worlds (especially when he spawns in Boss Rush), Astrum Deus or Devourer of Gods upon spawning and also when he teleports from his portal as well.

I suggest an accessory that makes it so that weapons no longer have any piercing ability and don't trigger i-frames.

This would be a direct nerf in most circumstances but it might just provide that little power kick you need to beat the next boss, (or it might makes your weapon absolute garbage). Its a tradeoff you'd need to consider before investing the time and resources into obtaining such an accesory.

it could also greatly help summoners who get cucked by i-frames as thats usually the hardest hit class.

**Rework Eliodic wail and Hadopleagic Echo**

This rare eidolon worm drop (and its upgrade) havr a pretty unique concept of shooting sound waves that deal more damage the further they travel (or exist); however the damage takes pretty long to rack up and you are extremely unlikely to hit a moving target (unless its a worm like DoG yet sometimes it even struggles) like Old Duke or Scal. These weapons have a lot of damage potential that is rarely reached at all, even vs the devourer unless you get really lucky.

Making this weapon's sound wave projectiles faster (they are supposed to be sound waves come on) (and stop faster/instantly in the case of Hado) and amplifying the sound waves (and damage) quicker, higher base damage but reducing the lifetime of the projectiles will make the weapon more overall useful vs more stuff other than DoG while not shredding the devourer in the case of wail.

Alternatively make then just shoot sound wave projectiles that just hit and dont pierce at all, this would remove their gimmicks but make them easier to use and balance as well as making then viable for once.

**move the triggering of the acid rain from the Eye of Cthulhu to the Desert Scourge**

There doesn’t seem to be any thematic reason for the acid rain to be tied to killing EoC. However, the desert scourge has links to both the ocean and the aquatic scourge (which spawns after defeating the acid rain tier 1). DS and EoC are of comparable difficulty levels, so I don’t think this would significantly impact progression through pre-hm. In fact it may help certain weaker weapons find a use such as the toxibow, caustic croaker staff and basher, which are often overlooked for more powerful options

**Make debuffs significant and potentially unique and by extension less abundant**

Overall most debuffs inflicted by the player in either calamity or in vanilla have a pretty similar theme of dealing damage over time, or reducing/changing stats, however in-game these are usually lack-luster besides core debuffs like ichor or endgame fire debuffs. And because these debuffs are not only lackluster but are also straight up ignored by most bosses (Old duke as an example below) late-game, the debuffs serve no purpose aside from Boss Rush as regular enemies are obliterated by your attack before debuffs even to anything, and even if a boss does not ignore the debuff, they lack heavily in power to influence the fight by any noticeable margin. This probably happened due to some Hardmode-endgame weapons accumulating up to 5+ debuffs alone, and there are plenty of weapons that inflict at the very least one. I propose that debuff distribution be rethought and put into specific weapons to create more unique weapons and strategies against bosses rather than picking the weapon that only has the highest consistency when it comes to dmg, and buffing debuffs effectiveness to compensate for lower abundance. This way debuffs are not in every weapon and bosses can have more unique weaknesses than just stat and movement manipulation.

**Expand on Acid rain t3**

Acid rain's concept is pretty amazing but the event's last tier is a big letdown compared to the previous versions of the event. It only brings one mini boss, reworks the previous one and replaces an enemy with a stronger version and just adding one item while the rest are drops from the Old Duke (who will no longer require Acid rain to be done once 1.5 drops).

Adding more drops and even a material drop would make the event feel more dynamic and diverse rather than an event you just do to summon the Old Duke, add more loot from the event and possibly make items from previous tiers more relevant with upgrades to them (maybe made with the new material) that you could use to fight the next bosses and give more reason to do the events prior to fighting the bosses.

For enemies the concept of replacing previous ones with new more radioactive (and deadlier) ones is quite a nice concept like with Irradiated slimes turning into Gamma slimes for example. Expanding on this idea would add more diversity to the event while making it more dynamic and make it feel less of a repeat of t2 with some changes.

so far almost all summons just deal damage, when they could do so much more, for example, some summons could heal the player, like the rare elemntal
some summons could focus on guarding the player while some would go off screen to attack etc etc
so far summon is the only class ( including melee) that lacks consistent variety and expanding upon the summoning concept would really encourage more strategic plays because right now a lot of summoner mains probably use one summon because there's either no point in using more than one, its just not worth it or its simply impossible and since summon already lacks in surviability, reworking/adding some summons to be more of a defensive type would encourage multiple summons at the same time even more, that would also increase replayability because there would be a lot of different builds for summoner to try out

Secondly, as the biome is hardmode exclusive, the player can be expected to have wings for this biome, however the high block count required means that flying even a little bit above the biome causes the player to leave it.

Counter scarf has the ability to allow the player to dodge an attack which then activates various buffs/debuffs and a chaos state. But I’m not constantly watching the debuff/buff area when I’m fighting a boss. There is no proper indicator as to whether or not the player will be able to dodge the next attack other than the assumption that when the cooldown is done you should be able to evade an attack. A noise could be used as an indication that your next dodge will evade the attack similar to how rage and adrenaline give off a sound when fully charged to let the player know that they can be activated.

**Add a natural spawn for the Sentinels of the Devourer if you have Rune of Kos in your inventory and are in their respective biome**

The Rune of Kos "contains the power hunted relentlessly by the sentinels of the cosmic devourer", according to its tooltip. However, it still only functions like any other boss summon. There should be a natural spawn for the Sentinels if you have the Rune of Kos and are in their appropriate biome. This could be present in all modes and have special flavor text (Like the mech bosses/eye of cthulu.), or it could alternatively just be another tier of "Something is coming..." (and as such be Death exclusive).

Its been made somewhat clear that there is a bit of a desire to implement more of the lore into the gameplay from what I've seen said, and this would be a good way to do that. It wouldn't even be that annoying, since you could just put the Rune of Kos away in my your Money Trough if you are doing something in that biome (like making an arena).

**Make rams do classless damage instead of melee damage**

every single in game ram(from SoC to asgardian aegis) does melee damage at the moment, altho it makes sense since rams are done at close/point blank range therefore it does melee damage, but I can counter this by giving out end-game melee weapons such as ark of the cosmos which... isn't even melee anymore (inb4 melee weapons magically summoning ranged projectiles ) as it's main source of damage comes from it's projectiles which clearly have more range than what melee is supposed to have(and the blade doesn't even do as much damage as the projectiles does lmao). Changing rams to do classless damage that scales with all class damage bonuses would make their damage actually more than a few 2-3 digit numbers and would make dashes benefit all classes equally to all classes instead of befitting melee the most(at the moment, dashes either have a ram that does melee damage or give a boost to melee stats like counter/evasion scarf, the only dashe without such effects is cryogen lore dash which is getting removed)

**Make the Death Mode Nurse disable global to all modes**

In Death Mode, Nurse healing is disabled while a boss is alive. This should be the case for all modes. I don't know how or why something like the Nurse was approved for Terraria or how it has stayed this way for so long. The NPC allows the character can instantly heal themselves back up to full HP at any time. While rev mode as well as 1.4 makes the heal more expenisve, its still not enough to have any effect on how much money you have. I don't see how this is in any way balanced, especially since autopause exists. Nurse cheese is such a prominent strategy and it completely takes away the difficulty in most fights, especially with pre-ML bosses. Besides making this change, it could be changed so that the price is more of a hefty fee (especially with the latest Goblin Tinkerer rework, with players having more money), but I still think the best way to do is to disable nurse healing while a boss is alive.

**Rover Drive Rework**

As of right now the rover drive only gives the player 10 defense for 10 seconds with a 20 second cooldown. But there’s a problem. The item isn’t consistent (doesn’t have a debuff timer), which can mislead players away cause it takes up a slot even though it has a 10 defense boost for 10 seconds.

The rework could be: Keep the current cooldown and defense abilities, but make the activation more consistent by having a debuff show up in the buff/debuff area so that the player knows that it’s regenerating. Also due to the fact that this is a shield, there could be a small amount of knockback resistance so you have a slight advantage in those early stages of pre-hardmode/pre-Skeletron.

Currently, the Abyss is completely trivialized in multiplayer, and the exploit doesn't even require any form of effort/thought. All you have to do is think to use a wormhole potion to teleport to you friend who is about to die, essentially starting you further in the abyss with a full breath meter.

While it is understandable to not try to address multiplayer exploits, because of the fact that there are so many, this exploit feels more important than just your normal "wormhole back to boss after respawn". The entire identity of the Abyss is lost because of this exploit.

This could be fixed by either making players unable to teleport to players who are in abyss. If that is not possible due to limitations, the potions could instead inflict the Chaos State debuff, which would anger the Adult Eidolon Wyrm since it reacts to Chaos State.

Hellborn is a unique weapon that shoots 3-5 bullets at once and turn all ammo types into explosive bullets, which damages the user if the explosion touches them. The gun also have a unique property which is the weapon does contact damage, which is rarely seen for ranged weapons, and the contact damage is 15 times the gun's base damage, which encourages melee range combat. However the property of explosive bullets counter this by dealing damage to the player in return, this can kill the player very quickly due to it firing multiple bullets per shot and the fire rate of this weapon is quite high. This again fells into the "neat concept poor implement" failure category, which can be fixed by either removing the self-harming property, reduce the damage the explosive bullets does to the player or rework the entire weapon to be more of a melee-range gun than a suicide machine .

**polish more bosses in multiplayer**

I would like to suggest to rework some bosses for multiplayer. I have recently played a 200 hours calamity playthrough with a friend, it was our first look at the mod. I'm amazed that this is called a mod and not an extension for the vanilla terraria. But has some fatal mistakes on multiplayer that ruined our experience with some bosses, an example could be the Plaguebringer Goliath who literally tried to kill me instead of my friend all the time, even when i was dead he went to my bed and tried kill me on spawn. I suggest that bosses should alternate which player they are attacking, or have a different pattern for multiplayer, they are really exploitable or abusing. With the Dog we had the problem that only focused one of us and my friend was literally afk on the fight and we won, this could be also fixed with a condition that if some player is afk or not moving, the Dog could teleport behind him.

A light sources made specifically for this set that could be attached to walls would also be nice as the vanilla light sources which match this set well can only be put on floors or ceilings (lamps/lanterns).

However, the biome does not have a background that shows up behind the walls, and considering the biome can be moved to the surface by simply moving the blocks, there's a good chance players will build a base on the surface with it, it would be disappointing to see the forest background or whatever background it is before the biome changed to sunken sea. Not to mention this biome and crags are the only biomes that can exist on surface but doesn't have a background(sulfur sea have, astral have, you can't have abyss on surface due to how it works ), which makes them feel incomplete/something is missing.

Amidias’ Trident is a melee weapon you can obtain after defeating a single boss. With the traditional early game melee weapons in mind, one would assume it to be fairly simple and actually melee oriented.

Not only is this better than some Hardmode melee weapons, it’s projectile is better than most ranged and magic weapons around it’s tier, the classes which are supposed to have good projectiles. Removing the homing and wall-piercing or straight up reworking the weapon to have a more melee ability would justify it’s existence as a early game melee weapon much more.

**Make the Rare Sand Elemental better in tight spaces **

This accessory spawns a sand elemental that heals you for 25 hp per healing orb. I think that the rare sand elemental should be reworked to do an aoe heal instead of the current healing orb, as the orb gets caught on blocks and negated. This will also make it better late game when you outrun the healing orb because of the speed buffs you get. The aoe heal would be better in multiplayer as the elemental would heal multiple players.

**Add recipes for chlorophyte armor into spectre, shroomite and turtle armor**

Chlorophyte armor is largely overlooked because it requires a large amount of chlorophyte bars. This is not a problem on its own, however the armors available directly after plantera(shroomite and spectre) also require this. Because of this, players avoid making chlorophyte armor due to it taking up the resources required directly after. If there were recipes for, say, chlorophyte armor+ectoplasm into spectre, or add mushrooms in an autohammer for shroomite, this would alleviate the main drawback to making this armor. Turtle armor is available at the same time chlorophyte is, however a recipe to create this from chlorophyte armor too would add consistency between armors

**Give the hook item a better use**

The hook item is used to craft the grappling hook, while gem hooks are far easier to get than a 1-4% drop chance item, the grappling isn't better than most of the gem hooks(except perhaps amethyst), which renders the hook item useless. Furthermore, the goblin tinkerer sells the normal grappling hook, such that collectors doesn't have to go grinding skeletons for the grappling hook. This made the hook item irrelevant, pointless, useless and not even worth obtaining in most scenarios(except in no WASD playthroughs where you either grind for a hook to start moving or you use rails to get gems for gem hook, and both are as difficult). Having all hooks crafted with the hook item would make it critical if you want mobility and would give meaning to this item as well as fixing game logic since why could 15 gems be made into a hook that grabs onto blocks??

**Add a cooldown to event/mechboss spawns**

There are many times where I am trying to prepare for mech bosses, or do something like that, but I get interrupted because of a blood moon or solar eclipse or a mech boss spawning before I am ready.

So I propose that some sort of cooldown is added so events like this can’t just happen back-to-back. Nothing big, just like a day or two so you don’t feel cheated. Just a small gap between when events can spawn, so a solar eclipse can’t happen right after a blood moon.

Having a longer cooldown when hardmode starts would also be a godsend, just like ~7 days where a mech boss cannot spawn, because I have seen many people complain about that. And if people don’t like this, you can just add a config option to disable it.

**Enable crafting of biome seeds**

Now, I know these are available at the Dryad's, but Mushroom Grass Seeds may be hard to come by early on as you need to specifically make her move into a house located within the Biome. Considering there is a pre-hardmode boss spawnable in the underground Mushroom biome (Crabulon), it would be rather convenient to be able to craft its seeds to artificially enlarge the biome more easily (which spreads slowly compared to others) for a proper-sized arena (which comes in handy since Crabbo becomes enraged outside of his home biome). It would make sense for Expert mode + Revengeance players, even though the crab itself is not as dangerous, but Crab Shrooms he releases can be rather deadly if careless and may require some more spacious biome for dodging. Other grass seeds could also be craftable just for convenience's sake and to not single this one out.

**Make Amidias' behave like Permafrost in their shop aspect**

Permafrost is an NPC known to sell quite a bit of nice weapons (and various items) from Cryogens defeat until almost Pre-Golem (due to his "tiered" weapon selling) which makes Permafrost more relevant in that part of the game, aiding the player gain weapons without the need to grind and has reliable and easy to access weapons and gear.

Sadly, the same couldn't be said about Amidias:
Amidias is an NPC the average Calamity player will almost SURELY meet, yet his relevance is little gameplay wise, he has 1 set of weapons for the player at that tier, the water themed boss summons every now and then, and the water breathing buff, which is mostly only used for the first and second Abyss trips (to then be likely lost quickly), making him pretty much irrelevent for the player after the first time they meet.

My proposal to make Amidias more relevant for a period of time, like with Permafrost, will likely lead the player to have more reliable weapon options, and add more variety to pre-HM in regards of weapon options, and can also lead the player to seek out different events (like how Permafrost rewards the player for defeating the Frost Moon).

**Give a niche for the necro armor and bone wings combo over the shroomite armor**

The bone wings is given a huge buff in calamity when used with necro armor, with the intention of making a previous tier of armor reusable. This a really good idea, but both bone wings and shroomite armor are available in the same tier (post-Plantera) and shroomite outclasses the combo in both defensive and offensive aspects( 49 defense vs. 51 defense, 25% increased damage vs. 13% plus the 1.15 multiplicative helmet bonus, 16% crit chance vs. 25%). They give similar movement speed bonus too, and shroomite even has access to stealth mode. Even worse, using other wings than bone would be giving other bonuses too.

A possible niche for the armor would be keeping it subpar but making it much more easily obtainable than it is at the moment (it requires the 1/400 drop chance bone feather), for example making the feather craftable with bone, cobwebs and ectoplasm. Shroomite armor can be quite troublesome to acquire, so it would be a proper niche.

Of course, other possibilities for making the armor more worth it would be simply buffing it, maybe making it more defensively focused than shroomite, or tier shifting it for before plantera (not having the ectoplasm in the feather recipe)

Abyssal Crates' drop pool gets an upgrade after you beat Skeletron, in the case here, it drops abyss' Shadow Chests items such as Ball o' Fugu and many others that can be encountered on the Shadow Chests. The problem here is that while the Shadow Chests found in the abyss, these require a Shadow Key to be opened, while Abyssal Crates doesn't need a Shadow Key to get most of the same loot that is found on the chests.

A solution to this problem is isolating the Shadow Chest's drop to an Abyssal Lock Box (similar to Golden Lock Box from the Dungeon Crates which drop Dungeon loot), and requiring to have a Shadow Key to open it and get the respective loot from the Shadow Chests found in the Abyss.

Maybe giving them or making ones some properties (specially in stealth strikes) like sticking to enemies, bouncing a couple times until it hits a target or enough bounces, spawning more explosions/bombs would make the bombs more unique and varied in how they function like with knives and javelins which vary a lot more in effects and functionality specially with their more unique stealth strikes

Stratus sphere is pretty much used as a side weapon where it performs rather underwhelming. Subsuming Vortex (SsV for short) had this exact problem when 1.4.5.001 first released and was reworked in later patches to be a more effective main weapon. My proposal is to make similar changes to what SsV (slower use time and harder hitting but no cap on the amount projectiles) received making it a far more effective and less awkward weapon to use.

Making the spheres release their projectiles while moving and bounce on tiles rather than passing through em would also help them to keep them in an area, increasing their potential, viability and make them more fun and appealing to use with many combat strategies that would come with their new changes.

**Allow DCU's mining power to scale with your pickaxe power like onyx drill mount**

the onyx drill mount is a very useful mount when it comes to mining, as it's speed + almost instantaneous block mining allows you to mine large amounts of anything in a short time. the DCU(drill containment unit) mount is a vanilla version of this drill that have a longer reach, a larger range(also not limited to your left and right side) and infinite flight, making it great for carving out large spaces quickly. While the onyx drill mount's pickaxe power scales with your max pickaxe power, the drill containment unit cannot mine auric tesla ore even if you have crystyl crusher in your inventory due to it's pickaxe power being a fixed value(210%, just enough to mine every single vanilla block). Having DCU's mining power scale with your pickaxe power would make this mount more useful than onyx drill mount at the late game. Another point is, onyx excavator key is found in cavern shrine pre boss, but it's usable up to moon lord and is somehow on par with dcu if not better, which is unfair since it does not require anything to obtain while DCU require a lot of different bars that can be hard to gather.

Meanwhile, Alicorn moves faster and is more easily obtained, only requiring you to pop a Vodka before killing the last 1% of DoG.

A lot of the time RNG is a pain and it can take players ages to find weapons, especially if they're playing many mods that may overlap the loot tables of natural chests, or playing on small world sizes where chests are less common.

It is also a recipe that's used in the Flamarang, further going into the Equanimity, which is required to craft the endgame boomerang, Celestus. In addition, In the 1.4 update, you are able to craft the Enchanted Boomerang, so it would make sense for Calamity to adopt this feature.

**Have The Community's stat buffs cover more stats or buff it's stats**

The Community is a legendary accessory drop from leviathan that buff quite a lot of stats and is class controversial. It's stats also scale with progression, which is a nice niche. However, the accessory's stat buffs are too little to be considered worth using at the stage you would obtain it, and it's stats are outclassed by other accessories such as the sponge, dark sun ring and many others at end-game tier where it's stats are maxed out.

These aspects makes this 1% drop rate accessory a complete waste of time if you grind for it, which is quite sad to see among legendary items(even malachite or Leonid progenitor, which quite a lot of people claim it's not good, is comparable to the stuff at same tier unlike community. Another example is sea's searing, which grants you the power to tear through mechs and beat even golem with it in exchange for the time you used to grind it up, such that it fits the position of a legendary item).

Looking at the wide range of stat boosts, this accessory can be considered a "stat stick" type of accessory, which means having it buff a lot more different stats will make it more useful as you progress, since the sheer amount of stats that scale will make it more powerful than what it is at the moment(in all progression points).

Bosses in this mod are practically flawless. However, there's one problem. Most of these bosses feel like they come out of nowhere. Some bosses should have a mini temple or dungeon that you could fight the boss in. Imagine if there was no jungle temple, no, dungeon, and you crafted the boss summon and fight it. These new areas would add atmosphere to the boss your fighting and would make exploring much more exciting. Here are a few examples I think would fit greatly.

Ice temple: A temple that is half the size of the jungle temple would spawn underground in the ice biome. There will be a few chests containing early-game loot and an alter at the end. Putting the key in the alter would summon the boss.

Ravager Ruins: An arena that spawns randomly in the underground jungle after the golem has been defeated. It would match the looks of the ravager boss and could be summoned there

Haunted Dungeon: The mini extension to the dungeon where at the end would be a mini room for poltergast. Would look like the dungeon but white and a ghost background.

These are just examples but you get the idea. Adding these new areas would spice up the gameplay. It also gives you a reason to explore other biomes and adventure more. There are so many opportunities that these new areas could do.

**Boost the spawnrate of Draconic Swarmers before the Dragonfolly is defeated**

The Dragonfolly is known for dropping Effulgent Feathers, a material used to craft the summoning item for Jungle Dragon, Yharon, alongside some weapons and a mount. Actually, there is an enemy spawned in jungle biome at the same stage that drops Effulgent Feathers, the Draconic Swarmers, as an alternative source of the feathers.

However, the spawn rate of Draconic Swarmer is pathetically low on surface jungle, and it's even lower underground, rendering the mob pointless. You can argue this mob is supposed to exist so that you do not necessarily have to fight dragonfolly to progress but doesn't spawn commonly to also encourage players to fight dragonfolly, but what about players that cannot beat the boss after hours of attempts? They will attempt the boss with gear from later tiers, which still nullifies the fight by shredding the boss in mere seconds, and allows players to get feathers with almost no effort, which negates the point of "encouraging players to fight dragonfolly".

Moreover, their pitiful spawnrate also negates the "do not necessarily have to fight dragonfolly" point due to fighting the boss for effulgent feathers being the only actually viable way to grind up effulgent feathers.

Giving Draconic Swarmers a spawn rate boost before Dragonfolly is defeated would allow players to skip this boss entirely without spending a lot more time grinding for effulgent feathers, or rather waiting for draconic swarmers to actually spawn.

• Using the same double tap LEFT / RIGHT mechanic for most dashes in the case of Plagued Fuel Pack and Blunder Booster, instead of a hotkey.
• Reworking Momentum Capacitor, Spectral Veil and Sand Cloak's effects to not rely on additional hotkeys.
• Using DOWN to activate Elysian Guard, instead of an additional hotkey.
• Merging Astral Teleport and Astral Arcanum UI keybinds, as they're essentially the same thing.

**Make Old Duke unlock Abyss tier 3 and 4 instead of Polterghast**

At the moment there's no real reason to play Acid rain tier 3, while i believe it's a fun event, there needs to be more at stake then it simply giving access to Old Duke. This is why I suggest that instead of Polterghast unlocking the Tier 3 and 4 abyss, an action that doesn't really make too much sense, we make Old Duke do it instead, due to the connection between the abyss and sulfurous sea. It also makes Acid rain and Old duke an actually important event, as right now, there's nothing to gain from fighting other than a few weapons. This way there's a reason to fight Old Duke and a reason to do the event as well. It also wouldn't really hurt Polterghast in a major way, while he unlocks those items, Polter also gives access to the stratus weapons as well as a few odd weapons here and there, furthermore Polter's own set of weapons isn't too bad either, so giving the Abyss weapons to Old Duke would give him a reason to be viable, as well as keep Polter viable as he'd still be providing other extra weapons as well as a new armor set.

**Allow Tiki Armor to give buffs based on each unique minion you have**

?

Tiki Armor is in a weird spot. It's outclassed by Spooky in damage output, and it can't really be changed into a defensive armor due to Fathom Swarmer already fulfilling that niche. Thus, I propose making it so the more spread out your minions are, the more various buffs such as damage, defense, or movement speed you get from Tiki Armor. This would encourage not just spamming the most damaging minion, and provide more variety in summoner, a class that somewhat lacks it. What buffs the Tiki Armor gives is up for debate, and could even be something unique.

As of right now the Sea King or Amidias is only useful pre-hardmode and has two boss summoning items plus the caustic tear. Right from the start this NPC offers all their weapons to the player, which really ruins their shop progression. Due to the fact that the Sea King already holds two Acid Rain linked items could mean that he can also give Acid Rain t2 and possibly t3 item upgrades with all or most of the weapons that he already sells. This would make this NPC more useful because right now they are only useful in pre-hardmode and post t2 acid rain with the boss summon and the caustic tear.

Fix unintentional King Slime cheese

When fighting the King Slime I've come across a unintentional cheese method that happens a vast majority of the time, what happens is when you're fighting the King Slime near Your Spawn and it kills you, most of the time it will get caught on a structure or natural Terrain and be stuck there until you respawn, thus letting it teleport back to you like nothing happened, making what was already the easiest boss in all of Terraria into a laughable joke even in Death Mode. A way to fix this would be to make the King Slime teleport away and despawn when every player has died.

**Add an Abyssal Lock Box on Abyssal Crates' drop pool to avoid skipping Shadow Key.**

Abyssal Crates' drop pool gets an upgrade after you beat Skeletron, in the case here, it drops abyss' Shadow Chests items such as Ball o' Fugu and many others that can be encountered on the Shadow Chests. The problem here is that while the Shadow Chests found in the abyss, these require a Shadow Key to be opened, while Abyssal Crates doesn't need a Shadow Key to get most of the same loot that is found on the chests.

A solution to this problem is isolating the Shadow Chest's drop to an Abyssal Lock Box (similar to Golden Lock Box from the Dungeon Crates which drop Dungeon loot), and requiring to have a Shadow Key to open it and get the respective loot from the Shadow Chests found in the Abyss.

arance is arguabely the most obsolete modifier, it can be useful early game, but in hardmode it just loses its relevance because it isnt that rare for armors/ accessories to fill up the mana cap, and while there are the upgrades that increase the cap, it's still only a short term solution because even later in the game you're still gonna get a lot of mana uprades. Dont get me wrong, i think 550 mana is enough for late game, but it just makes arcane a really bad modifier.

I suggest moving some of the Yo-yo bag materials higher up the progression ladder, maybe keep yo-yo string and yo-yo glove where they are, but make counter-weights only available in the beginning of pre-hard-mode, an example would be post perforaters / hive mind?

Phaseslayer is a somewhat interesting weapon that gains higher damage the faster the weapon is spun. This weapon, much like its successor, Murasama, currently isn't affected by melee speed. The proposition to make the damage scaling based on the weapon's angular velocity raise relative to melee speed is to make the weapon a bit more rewarding to use with melee speed bonuses.

My proposal is to make similar changes to what SsV (slower use time and harder hitting but no cap on the amount projectiles) received making it a far more effective and less awkward weapon to use.

Making the spheres release their projectiles while moving and bounce on tiles rather than passing through em would also help them to keep them in an area, increasing their potential, viability and make them more fun and appealing to use with many combat strategies that would come with their new changes.

**Tweak various properties of Wall of Flesh’s Rev+ fight**

I’ve had lots of times where even if I keep the WoF’s heads on-screen, he ends up charging me. But, at the same time-- there’s been moments where I keep his heads off-screen for an extended period of time, yet he still refuses to charge. Turns out it's based on line of sight with the mouth + distance, but it's incredibly hard to tell that just by fighting the boss.

Him charging would be fine if it weren’t for the fact that he shoots a ton of wall-piercing lasers right after he does it. Not only are these lasers incredibly hard to weave through just one time, you’ll likely be doing it more than four times. On top of all that, once he’s done firing his barrage he immediately goes back to shooting his regular lasers, which can overlap with the piercing lasers and cause an undodgeable situation.

I think if WoF’s charge is going to be this punishing, it should at least be a consistent range. As it is now, the only thing that reliably reduces the amount of charges is changing your arena to be taller, and even then I’ve had him charge for no discernible reason. His overlapping laser patterns also punish you for having the open arena the boss forces you to have, which just feels plain unfair.

A potential solution could be to have WoF shoot the slower wall-piercing lasers throughout the entire fight (with a nerf to how many he shoots at once) instead of after it's charge, and / or make his enrage purely based on distance instead of the combination of distance and line of sight

Even when comparing first bosses, something like the Royal Gel can be used throughout all of Vanilla to prevent annoyance from slimes, while the same cannot be said for the Ocean Crest, which literally becomes replaced by a 2.0 version from a future boss.

First off, all lasers fired from both body segments and probes are fired synchronised, at the exact same time. In normal mode this could be around once every two seconds. Probes fire directly at the player's position, while body segments follow a special pattern.
The first lasers are fired directly up. Each subsequent shot fires the lasers slightly more clockwise than the last.
Prior to the lasers firing, little red indicator lines not unlike those of the ethereal lance attack of the Empress of Light will appear marking the direction the lasers will be shot in. Lasers won't be shot from body segments inside ground

One example would be having some kind of locked structure, similar to the Hive Mind or Perforator Cysts, that spawns in the ice biome while holding a Cryo Key.

Deadly Spheres aren't the most common enemy in the world during the Solar Eclipse, and using a Zerg potion or anything like that at this tier is immensely dangerous during the Solar Eclipse. (You'd be too busy with the constant flow of Mothron to farm the Deadly Spheres anyways.)

**Prevent Shadow Potions from making the player disappear visually**

As an avid rogue player, I enjoy using most features the class has to offer (glares at spike balls), and one of the coolest things about Calamity's Rogue class is that it entirely revamps invisibility potions to give rogue bonuses. However, this comes with a major downside to someone playing rogue: they have no idea where their hitbox actually is, and unless they have a very specific dev wings accessory that causes the player's eyes to glow blood red, they're entirely invisible. This makes maneuvering a lot more difficult, especially in later boss fights, where you need to have pinpoint precision with your movements.
To fix this issue, one would have to take the invisibility out of the invisibility potion, which obviously isn't an option. However, invisibility potions have an upgrade in Calamity: Shadow Potions. They, in addition to the invisibility potions' rogue bonuses, allow the player to occasionally launch bonus projectiles on hit, as well as boosting stealth generation by a relatively good value: 10%.
However, I've noticed that you are still invisible with this potion active, even though this potion has little more to claim for its invisibility than an invisibility potion being an ingredient within the potion. While, for the record, it DOES turn off the invisibility effect during bosses, I, personally, don't think that it should make you invisible because there just isn't much of a basis for them. In fact, there is a negative basis, given the name and the fish used to create these potions: a Shadowfish, which is a pitch black fish with red eyes, but the potion itself makes you invisible, despite the potion's additional black coloration, as opposed to the Invisibility Potion's light, sky blue color.

I propose that Shadow potions change the player's visibility, but turn the player into a black and red shadow, instead of being entirely invisible.

**Rework Auric Tesla Armor’s Set Bonuses**

?

Auric Tesla armor is currently the penultimate armor in Calamity (excluding shadowspec since it’s kind of just a no-hitter set), and is an amalgamation of the Post-ML armor sets, with very little added on it’s own. Ranged and Mage don’t even have any unique set bonuses from Auric Tesla, just the previous armors’ set bonuses. Not only does this make the armor itself incredibly bland and boring since the appearance of the set bonuses aren’t changed to match Auric Tesla’s look, it also causes the armor sets it absorbs to become less unique due to their abilities straight up being copied later.

Comparing this to Terraria’s endgame armor sets, most of the Pillar armors have a almost completely new gimmick that makes Auric Tesla look fairly uninspired in comparison. Nebula’s boosters from damaging enemies are a entirely new concept, Solar’s dash that improves over time is...a boosted version of Tabi and Shield of Cthulhu’s dashes that still works well with melee and inspired the shield line in Calamity, Vortex...is the weakest with a buffed up shroomite stealth that doesn’t require you to stand still, and Summoner has a entirely unique Stardust Guardian you can command. Each set is unique in some way to the class, and (outside of Vortex) doesn’t copy ideas from earlier armor sets.

Making Auric Tesla have new visuals for set bonuses that actually match the armor and other weapons and giving each class something new to play with concept/mechanic wise would go a long way to improving this final armor. Removing the previous armors set bonuses/effects would help a lot in making the set feel more prominent, but isn’t entirely necessary if the new set bonuses for each class are exciting enough.

These 2 items are often overlooked due to them costing quite a bunch of stealth and giving low stats (in the case of plague fuel pack), which is understandable considering its primary function: upwards/diagonal dash that spawns projectiles. However here's the thing, the stealth cost makes it very unusable outside of stealth builds and the direction that can dash its quite limited 45° away in the direction the player is facing which makes them very situational to use. Allowing the dashes to have other directions and reducing their cost would make the accessories less situational and more impactful and reliable ways of mobility.

Empyrean armor is pretty boring, it brings nothing new and unique to the table (unlike the other luminite armors, umbraphile and statigel to name a few which bring unique setbonuses like a ram, boosters, explosions on hit and buffing potions, jump + invul, etc), just spawning some projectiles which do a small amount of damage, which a lot of rogue accessories do already (feather crown line, ethereal exhorter, blunder booster dash, electrician's glove, etc). Most of the projectiles are spawned every now and then very rarely; as an example go on and try to spot them in this video https://youtu.be/LQyKq-OH914

To add insult to injury, the under 50% hp effect is also extremely lame and completely useless during boss fights where the player is likely to be under said amount quite often but already has the buffs (which get removed when healed back over 50%) or their post-ML upgraded versions which overwrite them, making the bonus pretty pointless so it should probably get changed entirely.

Increasing the chances of the projectiles spawning and changing the bonuses (or at least the <50% hp one) would help the armor to stand out, be more impactful and be more than just stats with bonus projectiles.

**Adding a Boss Damage Percentage Boost into the Config Menu (like the health one)**

This would help players like me to further increase the difficulty. It also helps if you play with a lot different mods which can make the game too easy at some point (face tanking bosses), but you still dont want to miss them. Only increased the health will not solve this problem because it only extends the duration of the fight, but not the overall difficulty.

**Have Yharon's border infernadoes show on the map**

The purpose of the border infernadoes is to keep people in an area and does so by instantly killing you, which, in combination with the amount of speed you have at that point, may cause an end to a good run because you accidentally ran into the infernado at mach 10, and how it currently slightly changes color every once in a while does not help at all. Having the infernadoes show on the map will alert players when they are approaching them and let them react accordingly.

**Add unique boss rush bonuses to bosses, instead of adding difficulty mode changes**

?

Certain bosses gain their bonuses from higher difficulties during boss rush. While this does increase the difficulty for lower tier players, it does nothing for Deathmode, and means that the whole experience is less unique during higher difficulties due to lacking new changes and content. Making new boss changes instead of just putting harder difficulty changes on would make the experience a lot more unique overall, and keep it harder for higher difficulties.

**The Odd Mushroom should have a warning about its potentially harmful side effect.**

_ _

For the unaware, the Odd Mushroom is a consumable sold by the Drunk Princess that inflicts the Trippy buff; increasing damage by 50%, but giving you a nauseating effect that duplicates a projectile 3 times on all sides of the player that fade in and out every few seconds with a cycling rainbow effect. This can cause players who use it nausea or potentially worse physical side effects. I believe that the mushroom's tooltip should have some sort of a warning of this so that certain players don't end up feeling ill without finding out the hard way.

**damage increasing accessories increase damage dealt to player(purely for summoner)**

Heard about summoner is unbalanced because he do not needs to aim to deal decent damage? I heard, but this might be imbalance because summoner still has chance to make a mistake(unless he is in death armageddon defiled or smth) as only lategame bosses like SCal or Yharon can deal high enough damage to not let to recover from them(oh, and DoG can true oneshot you). As the summoner's armor is entierly offencive, I suggest to make summoner's accesories decrease damage reduction and defence even including making it negative, so you asked it you got it - you only need to dodge, but if you fail to do this once... you know what I mean. Or you can make additional summoner(non-minion summoning, like orbs\whips(but not whips, u got my idea)) weapons to make summoners to distract from dodging and make them get more damage though deal more damage - that's how we all win(note that due to increased damage summoners in 1.4 will not fight nighttime EoL or daytime Providence because they still oneshot you, but there's completely other story about this)

**Rework Coldheart Icicle**

The Coldheart Icicle is a hardmode weapon sold by the Archmage, its a unique shortsword in the sense that it takes 2% of the enemy's and bosses' total hp with the exception of Providence and while the player is under the effects of the Invincible buff.
So what's the problem with this weapon?

· The weapon by itself compared with the uses of other on-tier hardmode melee options, is worse than other true melee options such as Fetid Baghnakhs and Aftershock to name a few.
· The weapon for reaching its maximum potential of use requires going into a full tanking loadout. Which compared to other loadouts using the weapons mentioned above can do a safer performance when using both defensive and offensive loadouts depending on your playstyle, without the need of dedicating your loadout into excessive defense and almost no mobility.
· The weapon to be usable requires knowing which debuffs bosses inflict, and what I mean for this is that some bosses such as Brimstone Elemental can inflict Brimstone Flames and Abyssal Flames, which you can't counter by using a debuff immunity accessory before Plantera and above.
· The weapon due its short-range its very risky or deemed impossible to use on certain on-tier bosses such as The Twins, Brimstone Elemental, The Destroyer, Clonemitas and Aquatic Scourge to name a few.

Reworking it to be a weapon similar to Archmage's weapon arsenal and many other hardmode melee weapons - in the sense that the weapon doesn't need an specific loadout to perform decently compared to other options at a certain tier -, would make the weapon more worth using.

**Make the Counter/Evasion Scarf's dodge/invincibility last longer**

The Counter and Evasion scarves offer a unique mechanic where a player can dodge an attack while dashing, the activation of said dodge being indicated with a burst of red particles at the player's location, and a buff/debuff being granted to the player upon activating this dodge.

However, this dodge is inconsistent and doesn't work well - in my experience, the dash's relevant debuff/buff will appear (as well as the particle effects), but attacks, be it projectiles or enemy contact, will not be truly avoided, and the player will still take damage. While it may be that attack hitbox size, relative projectile/enemy velocity and a number of other factors determine whether an attack is actually avoided with the dodge's i-frames, the dynamic nature of these factors and the difficulty of keeping track of them makes intentionally using the dodge simply not worth it. This also has the added effect of making successful dodges during the dash more incidental than intentional (similar to the 'random dodges' from the Ink Bomb and upgrades, or the Ninja Belts), because actually trying to intentionally dodge an attack using the dash's i-frames is much too risky.

Increasing the amount of invincibility frames granted when the dodge effect is triggered to be able to consistently dodge most damaging attacks (and possibly increasing its cooldown to compensate) would greatly increase the enjoyment of using this accessory and allow players to incorporate it into their strategy or playstyle. As of now, avoiding an attack during a dodge is something that just "happens sometimes", and it is rare that I actually plan for dodging an attack during a dash (as opposed to the way I might plan for using Melee's Tarragon Cloak or the Rod of Discord).

During Yharon’s transition phase, make him stand still for the whole duration (similar to SCal), or remove contact dmg.

Reason: Yharon is completely invulnerable while transitioning, but still continues to deal contact dmg and attack the player. You’re basically forced to stall while not running into the infernadoes, which just feels unfair and unfun on top of the amount of i-frames he’s already gotten throughout the fight.

Changing Luxor's Gift for summoners to something more akin to the Borealis Bomber Staff

So Luxor's Gift is an all in all good accessories for every class since it adds them extra damage and/or range but it always feels less good for summoner, since all it does is add another summon, making it more of a "+1 minion slot" equipment for it.

Making it similar to the Borealis Bomber staff would not only make it similar to the other classes' ability, but it would also add the possibility for more gameplay for the summoner early game than just dodging and letting ur minions do the rest or using a bunch of classless weapons.

I would say that to balance it it would need to have its damage be at a cap like the other ones and like the Borealis Bomber, it doesnt take a minion slot and simply homes into an ennemie and hits it, maybe 2-3 times before going away, it would make all the rods you use into more of weapons, where higher damage might come at the cost of higher mana usage.

so basically if you made it that you could then use summon staffs as weapons, when all your minion slots are taken, if you use the staff it'll shoot the sigils and hit a target a few times before going away, which is more similar to all the other classes' use of Luxor's gift, being adding a spammy projectile

**Give all bosses an indicator for their enrage**

Boss enrages are very finicky and having to guess when you'll leave the biome or 'arena' in case of yharon is a major pain. A particle border outlining the enrage area would be a very helpful change.

Alternatively or additionally, make boss enrages more lenient, or more reliant on how far away you are from said boss. Currently, a lot of big arenas require actuated blocks or other mods (fargo's mutant fountains). It would be a nice change to make it so that bosses relied more on distance instead of biome, which makes for extra arena building and takes away from the overall experience.

For people who might do cross-mod content with Calamity, it'd be useful for them, as they'd much more easily be able to find places to generate in or relative to it if they can simply use the rectangle to index a limited area for their generation conditions, and never generate outside of that.

It becomes harder to distinguish at a distance for me, although it may just be them blurring in with the hallow desert background.
Reasonings: This may just be me, but I feel like overall providence is a bit too overwhelming in the guardians phase. Even after disabling revengance and giving myself 2 extra remote nurse heals through cheats, I still die pretty soon after the guardians.

**Rework Devourer of Gods' Second Form AI**

Devourer of Gods is fun, but he doesn't seem challenging enough for myself and including some others. The reason why the Devourer of Gods is not that challenging is because of lack of attacks, some attacks lazily coded, too easy for progression, and including the part where he just teleports from a portal when his HP is low. So here's three ideas I got for him:

Circling around the player, shoot projectiles from the center of the body segments when the player is circled: Some worm bosses have these attacks, it makes a worm boss extra challenging and fun to look at.

Make him do a trail of cosmic stars or different cosmic projectiles that attempt to home onto the player from the tail: Since he is a powerful worm, he probably should have that since he is considered a powerful boss.

Make him float over the player going straight and making him shoot projectiles from his body segments: It would look unique if he is flying straight and dashing above the player, shooting down projectiles.

I was always quite confused why abombination was a consumable summon. It is a remote that calls in the plaguebringer goliath, so you should be able to use it multiple times, right? Well, oddly enough it disappears right from your hands. So the remote should not disappear upon use, but instead should be a permanent summon, but harder to obtain. I say the plaguebringer mini bosses should each drop an item that can be combined together at the draedon lab for the jungle. There should also be a summon for plaguebringers, making farming them easier

This would add more progression around the plague stage of the game, and make a bit more sense.

**Add a Minion Staff associated with Fathom Swarmer**

?

Every summoner set in hardmode has a specific minion staff almost directly related to it. Spider armor gets the spider staff, Tiki armor is acquired through the tiki staff, Spooky and Raven are similar in color scheme and come from the same event, Plaguebringer armor comes alongside the Fuel Cell Bundle and Remote, and Stardust is tied in with the dragon and cells. Except Fathom Swarmer just gets a sentry, the Dreadmine Staff, unlike the rest of all these armor sets which get minion staffs to go along with the armor. Additionally, Fathom Swarmer is mostly based off the look of a angler fish, while the Dreadmine Staff is a mechanical mine base that summons mines around enemies, which leads to the two being fairly unrelated.

Adding a minion that comes from the Abyss post-clonelamitas and is related to Fathom Swarmer would add more variety post-clonelamitas for summoner, and would also make Fathom Swarmer feel more rounded out when compared to the rest of the Hardmode Summoner sets.

**Gradually increase the drop chance of an item every time it *doesn’t* drop**

The worst part of grinding for a specific item in Terraria is that no matter how long you grind without getting the drop, you are no closer to receiving the item than when you started, despite the gambler’s fallacy. This makes grinding, in my opinion, quite excruciating.

To solve this, you could make the base drop chance of any random drop lower, but gradually increase the drop chance every time it doesn’t drop, and when it finally drops, reset the chance to its base value. This can apply to enemy drops, boss drops, and fishing, and maybe even other random factors like traveling merchant shop.

This will make grinding somewhat less excruciating, because even if it doesn’t drop, you know that the chances are higher next time.

I haven’t gotten into Terraria modding, so I don’t know how difficult this would be. However, drop chances clearly can be changed dynamically at runtime, as with the Defiled Rune. Ideally, it would be okay to apply the same general rule to every random item drop (ex. Halve every drop chance, and make it increase by 15% every time it doesn’t drop), instead of fine-tuning for each item.

Also, I am not sure whether this should apply per player (if that is even possible) or per world. I always play cooperatively with friends, and we share loot, so I would personally be okay the changes not applying per player. However, I understand it could be very frustrating if another player gets the drop you were grinding for, resetting the odds. If the drop chance applied per-player, it could solve this issue.

Also, I understand, it would negatively impact the loot of defeating a boss for the first time if the base drop chances were decreased across the board, so perhaps boss drop chances should begin at their unmodified value, and only reset to their lower base value when the item is dropped.

(I came up with this idea when I was grinding for a compass for cell phone)

Goblin thieves could act as rogue weapons by dropping a rogue weapon (dagger related. their weapon is a dagger). And for the sorcerers maybe something like the water bolt except it fires a fireball that can travel through blocks

What im saying here is: The original 3 weapons (warblade/harpoon/plasmabolt) either dont fit the event mostly. or they're use at this point in the game is kinda harder to use. (warblade if your going melee on say any difficulty higher then expert like rev/death.) And plasma bolt is really awkward to use cause its mostly usable as a debuff giver rather then an actual weapon. specifically its 5 different debuffs. then its small beams also kind've make it hard to use the weapon (taken from wiki here). By giving the goblins perhaps these weapons or change it up depending how you want. Harpoon would fit better with pirates and well the other weapons could be used depending if you prefer debuffs or true melee. but giving us these extra weapons could add a lot more variety into the event until hardmode (When summoners arrive). Making the event in pre hardmode other then to get goblin tinkerer (and spiky balls if you need that) a lot more well, "collective" shall i say because of how important of an event it is for goblin tinkerer.

**Buff the Skyfringe Pickaxe's pickaxe to match the Molten Pickaxe**

Right now, the Skyfringe Pickaxe has a 95% pickaxe power, making it useless due to the Molten Pickaxe being able mine Cobalt and Palladium, despite the Aerialite being obtained arguably later than Hellstone. Buffing its pickaxe power from 95% to 100% would do wonders to make the Skyfringe Pickaxe actually an actually usable alternative to the Molten Pickaxe. Alternatively, it could have its base mining speed buffed to compensate for the lower pickaxe power, giving it a niche.

**Include Invisibility and Shadow Potions' invisibility in the "Stealth Invisibility" toggle in the mod config**

I find it really annoying to not be able to see my character's exact position when on the move, say, during a boss fight, not attacking, because I want to build stealth. Not being able to see my character perfectly clearly allows for a lot of ambiguity when trying to dodge attacks, as well as navigating through complex terrain, so not being able to see my character at all when not attacking is especially annoying. In this case, without the ability to toggle it off, I'm forced to make the choice between having 10% extra stealth generation and not annoying the hell out of myself, making the Shadow Potion disproportionately less attractive and less useful than it should be to myself and probably a fair number of others.

**Make the Elemental Lance less laggy**

For those who do not know, the Elemental Lance is the Pre-Providence Elemental spear. It fires an initial spear that splits into nine projectiles total, with those projectiles splitting into six each, with those projectiles splitting into three projectiles each. This results in the Elemental Spear being able to fire up to 162 final (and rather large spear-bolts, not just dust) projectiles per use.

The projectile count, while impressive, is also problematic for lower-end PCs. This weapon's massive flood of spear-bolt projectiles inevitably lags a great deal, creating a potentially unenjoyable gameplay experience. Often times I find myself not using this weapon simply because its absurd lag just makes the game harder to play, and I'd rather use a more consistent weapon that makes the game not horribly laggy. A good way to deal with this issue would be to make the spear spawn less projectiles by splitting less often, but by simply increasing the damage of the spear to compensate for the lost damage from the projectiles.

Adding element tags to weapons when relevant will help solve the ambiguity these items have.

**Add Auric Tesla Wings.**

I know celstial tracers exist, but meh. The wings would be in similar function as the armor, combining a bunch of previously used wings, and combining all of their effects. When paired with auric tesla armor, it would have each specific set bonus (for example, with the wings, silva armor revives would heal up to half hp). It would be a nice culmination of effects, and could make beating difficult bosses just a little bit easier.

At this moment in time, your only two options are Celestial Tracers or Drew's Wings. Drew's wings don't even have any special effects, so adding Auric wings would not only add variety, but would also add in more items that culminate a lot of items you have collected before, such as Auric Tesla armor/Auric Tesla weapons like the Exoblade. (On this note, I realize that Auric accessories would also be a cool thing to add.)

You could also just make celestial tracers have this effect, but I feel like that wouldn't add as much choice as adding auric wings would be.

**Make the Angler Sell Fish and Fishing Related Items, and Expand his Shop the More Fishing Quests have Been Completed**

Right now, the Angler is, ah, kinda useless. He offers fishing quests, which are really annoying to do and rarely give anything useful--which is why Calamity adds in alternative ways to get the important items. This is great, but it means this already unused feature, the ONLY feature of the Angler, becomes even more obsolete. Another thing players hate to do when it comes to fishing is to grind for specific items or fish, especially ones like potion fish that are needed in bulk.
As such, I propose these two problems be solved simultaneously, by allowing the player to get these fish easily and in abundance if they do a different kind of fishing--Angler quests--giving said quests a purpose.
The shop could start simple, with some fish that just make food like bass and some weak bait or a rod, but start to gain more and more valuable fish over time. Even aside from fish, this allows a way for the player to get a consistent source of the three fishing potions and an unlimited source of bait, two things that can deter fishing if they are lacking.

Make perforator hive projectiles travel through blocks for longer

When fighting the perforators underground, the waves of projectiles launched up by the hive will travel through blocks for two seconds, but will disappear upon contact with blocks afterwards. This can lead to an incredible loss of difficulty, as two seconds is usually not enough time for the projectiles to leave the ceiling of the crimson caves, meaning all you have to dodge are queen bee-esque rams (in rev+), and worms reminiscent of EoW but less. Since the hive enrages on the surface, it can be assumed that it is meant to be fought underground, but doing so removes one of the most dangerous parts of the fight. A simple solution is to increase the amount of time the projectiles can pass through blocks.

**Make Necroghast's(Phase 2 Polterghast) hooks unable to fire projectiles while repositioning and shortly after getting into a new position**

One of Polterghast's main qualities is the ascending amount of stress it puts on the player as the fight goes on. With the projectiles it fires getting more numerous by the phases, it makes sense that the boss should have atleast something for it's hooks to do. However, being able to move directly on top of the player and seemingly randomly hit them isn't really stress inducing, but frustrating. Nobody can react to a projectile that spawns directly on top of them, and these hooks cause that issue to not be from player mistakes, but of the boss's own accord. Therefore, I propose to make Polterghast unable to shoot projectiles from it's hooks while they're repositioning and for 10 frames after getting into position. This change would make Polterghast a much more enjoyable fight, especially for people playing with Armageddon turned on or other items similar such as Defiled Rune or Blood Pact.

**Add a resource sink for Wulfrum**

A common trait among early game/highly common enemies is that the resources they provide have very common long term "sinks", items which these plentiful resources can be dumped into and maintain their usefulness for nearly the entire game.

Gel is one of the most dynamic and useful crafting materials in the game, Lenses can be used for archery potions, weapons, boss summons, and vanity items. Even Calamity's own mobs typically follow this logic, like the ore slimes with life alloy and profaned enemies with unholy essence.

The only common enemy who has a drop who does not follow this design is Wulfrum enemies. Wulfrum crafts a handful of early game armor and weapons and that's it. They aren't even materials for other weapons/items. This stuff becomes a trash item you have a hard time avoiding literally pre-Boss if you get Victide.

All I'm suggesting is something to get rid of it with. I know you could just trash it, but it's annoying to do, and Calamity makes even some of the most worthless items worth keeping for good crafting later on, but not the very first custom item most players encounter. I don't care if it's a Dradeon weapon which needs 3996 of it, or some arena buff, or hell, make it craftable into wires post WoF or something. Just give it some persistent use so these things are less of a hassle and more of a, y'know, actual enemy worth fighting and giving an actual reward for doing so.

The satis’ ninja belt item incorporates master ninja gear into itself, and the core of elleum required is obtainable using ectoplasm from the same place.

Example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/417898680423546881/857503948511379466/holy_spear.gif

Right now, Providence's spear barrage is somewhat strange to dodge (with no RoD). The stream of green spears that follows the players forces you to move between the lines of yellow spears to avoid it, but the way you go through those lines isn't intuitive at all. Said spear lines use 'dashing' movements to move outwards, staying in one place and then rapidly going to the next, with the next spear quickly following suit. With a movement like this, one might assume you have to time your movement to go in between two spears' dashes. However, in practice, the gap between the spears is much too small to have this be a viable dodging strategy.
Instead, the most common dodging strategy is to instead outrun the spear lines before they can get too far away from Providence and just go over them. Normally this would be a fine solution but Providence's fight heavily deincentivizes moving too far away from her, especially in the cocoon phases when the radius of the 'death zone' is much smaller. In order to dodge the spears in this way, you have to get dangerously close to the death zone, and more or less guess if you'll remain within it as it has no visual indicator. This makes no sense as the most viable dodging strategy, as everything else in the fight conditions the player not to run away from Providence.
By making the 'dash' movement carry the spears further, it lets the former, more intuitive strategy be viable by making it less precise and also makes the latter, less intuitive strategy more difficult as the spears will reach the point where you can't just outrun them much more quickly.

Summoner as a whole almost never makes weapons out of bars or ores in general. While one could say this is due to ores and bars being less magical, mage doesn’t have any problems crafting materials with books to get new weapons. Additionally, outside of getting bars for an obligatory new armor set, summoners have very little reason to actually go mining for new ores like scoria or perennial.

Allowing summoner to make weapons out of bars would give the class more variety in weapons, reason to actually mine, and make them more in line with the other classes.

But if you dont have time to watch the video heres the suggestion:
Providence is a very fun and challenging boss with attacks that always have you paying attention. However one of them, her holy ray attack, can easily be avoided by teleporting behind her. Night Providence makes it so that you have to pay attention before teleporting with 2 extra rays that sweep behind her before converging with the 2 main ones. The idea here is to also give Daytime Providence this ability (except when guardians are alive cuz it will be somewhat unfair, might need some tweaks for MP) to make dodging this attack more threatening while still having the option to teleport behind but it not being so easy and trivialize the attack completely.

As good as the abyss currently is with the music and the creatures, it is very cramped, which is counterproductive to the vast emptiness that instils thalassophobia that something bearing the name 'the Abyss' should be. A solution to this would be to extend its generation much further into the underground areas on a world size medium and above, and make the great drop act much more similarly to the Corruption cervices, with no solid ground in the middle. To allow players to get down, the ledges along the sides of the area could be kept, but the fathomless drop in the centre is key to the fear that the Abyss should use to its advantage.

Hell, Snow Ruffian sounds better as early all-class armor because of gliding ability.

Compare that to Victide armor which can be obtained at same time with some survival strategy. It offers 20% better defense, gives boosts for Ocean, Abyss and Sunked Sea, and seashell is DPS increase.

**Rework the Staff of the Necrosteocytes**

_ _

The Staff of the Necrosteocytes is a bit of an odd summoner weapon. It's one of the two summoner weapons obtainable right after you beat Skeletron, alongside the Herring Staff, but ends up being heavily outclassed by it due to the fact it operates similarly to the Pirate Staff. The small skeletons it summons run around at a medium-slow pace attempting to ram enemies; but the aforementioned speed generally gives it problems actually reaching its target in the first place, especially if these are bosses. The skeletons also leave these lingering bits of dust that deal some extra damage, but these are quite small and don't do a notable amount of damage. The Herring Staff's minions are excellent at targetting enemies and bosses with good DPS and allow the user to summon two minions per slot, leaving the Necrosteocytes in the dust. In addition, the Necrosteocytes is a 4/5% drop from Dark Casters, a considerably uncommon enemy in the pre-Plantera dungeon.

I feel as though our poor skeleton staff needs a rework in order to be on par(give or take, even) to the Herring Staff, adding a bit of variety to pre-hardmode summoner, which it seems to lack. Perhaps a good idea of approaching this is to look at how the skeleton enemies in Terraria work, particularly in expert mode. They will, if within a reasonable range, throw bones at the player. Perhaps this could be applied to the Staff of the Necrosteocytes' minions to make it more usable? It would give summoners more of an interesting choice when choosing between it and the Herring Staff. Would it be better to have minions that constantly deal contact enemies and effectively double, or would it be better to have minions that throw ranged bones to hit some of the more troublesome enemies?

**Increase the pickaxe power of the Skyfringe Pickaxe and Gelpick**

These pickaxes are at a strange place in progression. The skyfringe pickaxe's power of 95% makes it less useful than the molten pickaxe (100%), which you can craft before the skyfringe when going by the intended progression. While the molten pickaxe can mine the first tier of hardmode ores, the skyfringe pickaxe can't. Then there's the gelpick. This is significantly harder to get than the molten pickaxe, requiring the killing of the hardest pre-hm boss - the slime god. However the gelpick still can't mine any more blocks than the molten pickaxe.

This causes both of these pickaxes to be overlooked in favour of the vanilla pickaxes, so I suggest increasing the skyfringe pickaxes power to 100-109, and the gelpick to 110-149, allowing the former to mine cobalt/palladium and the latter mythril/orichalcum. You may think this will make the gelpick too powerful, but I'd argue it is fitting as a reward for beating the slime god, which is arguably on the same level of difficulty as the wall of flesh. This would also bring some much needed non-linearity in early hardmode, allowing players to skip over cobalt/palladium pickaxes, which are just another boring ore-based pickaxe.

**Add gimmicks to Calamity tools**

Not only those tools cost a huge amount of money to reforge, they are also not that different from vanilla tools in terms of efficiency, especially in middle of hardmode.

I suggest to add some thematic features to many tools in the game to make them more interesting and viable for player. Axe of Purity and Inferna Cutter are already existing example how it would work.

For example: Skyfringe Pickaxe could mine faster with continuous usage (building up an air pressure as lore), Abyssal Warhammer could spread crystal shards in short range while being swung (crystal shard theme), or Bestial Pickaxe could protect you from monsters in some way (hunting theme).

Adding the respective elemental accessory to the vanity slot wont make the elemental dissapear but instead make her stop attacking/healing

Sometimes you want to have an elemental by your side but your accessory slots aren't big enough or you have better accesories, this would be the solution to it

**Make Purified Jam renewable but give it a use limit per-fight like the RE guns**

Purified Jam currently sees very little use for a lot of reasons. Its un-renewable, meaning if you use it and still lose the fight you're down a resource that you both are likely relying on and can't get back. Purified Jam already has a lot of balancing side-effects such as causing potion sickness making it not so useful that its worth the risk of permanently losing a charge of it. Finally Calamity expects you to refight bosses to get all the materials you need, encouraging lasting and not wasteful strats to farm that boss.

That last reason is the biggest strike against the jam, as you can't make any lasting strategies involving it due to its short supply. However, were it given a use limit of say once per fight then one could involve it in strategies to get around a particular difficult attack or to ensure they can close out a fight and be able to apply that consistently. The jam should not be JUST for getting one boss downed flag activated, it should be a viable part of boss strategy.

As for how to make it renewable, any method like Slime God drop, NPC, or crafting recipe would do but I'd advise against SG drop as that could make SG into too valuable of a farm.

**Rework Purified Jam to nullify next fatal hit**

Why you die on boss fights most of the time? Many would agree that they didn't react fast enough or happened to hit stray projectile. It causes huge frustration because you have an impression that you were unlucky despite your efforts.

Invulnerability is overpowered because you can use it to cheese patterns and not learn from them. And if you still die, you have wasted quite rare consumable.

So we have a problem: Purified Jam is too rare to be used often, and it's impossible to balance properly. What could be done?

Instead of giving the ability to ignore hard attacks, I propose anti-bullshit function:
Purified Jam lasts until you get fatal hit, which is canceled with buff being detached. Of course, this is only once per life as other strong revives.

So you can use Purified Jam as safety net in case if you didn't dodged good enough or got hit by some stray lasers (Namess% moment).

**Move Barracuda and Cosmic Rainbow later in progression**

?

The biome chest upgrades are very interesting, allowing the player to continue utilizing the extremely unique weapons after they have long fallen off in progression, however with Barracuda and Cosmic Rainbow it feels less impactful due to being very close progression wise. You get to use piranha Gun for golem before immediately upgrading it to barracuda. Same with Rainbow Gun, but just with a slight delay to post cultist. It feels much less significant than the post dog Endo Hydra Staff or either of the two melee weapons’ upgrades. Moving the Barracuda and Cosmic Rainbow later in progression (possibly to post dog with the other biome chest upgrades) would give the original weapons more time to shine, and make them more consistent with the other biome chest weapons.

**Add a feature sugg posting channel**

Purpose
a new #suggestions-posting channel that allows for item and feature suggestions but is more strict to get into #suggestions-voting
Benefits
To begin, while not all ideas will be great, the ones that the community likes can get filtered into #suggestions-voting, allowing for the devs to see a much less cluttered roster, leading to a much more refined list of ideas, while filtering out this shitpost ones
Also, while nowhere near every idea presented will be implemented, this can give a different point of view on cool gear or mechanic changes, which wouldn't need to be implemented to the T, they just provide a starting point for devs to take ideas from that can transform into a new feature in the mod, ie. add bow that shoots lasers made from yharon materialsif devs like the idea they can edit it, saying cool idea, but would fit better as a post destroyer weapon, so if I nerd dmg and change crafting etc. that idea would fit really well
Lastly this is just gonna give the community a place to voice their ideas, something that just in general is super healthy for a community and can lead to theory crafting great ideas maybe even worth being given some thought by the devs
Implementation
Obviously this channel is gonna get flooded, there are a LOT of people in this server, likely having ideas to present, so this is gonna get hectic, but I think it could work, if implemented well
To start, devs really wouldn't pay attention to this channel, instead they should be looking into #suggestions-voting where the better ideas would be filtered, and these ideas should also be substantially more liked by the community compared to those in this channel to get put there, just to really thin out these suggestions as much as possible
There should also be a way to get posts removed from this channel that way meme and other sucky suggs don't flood out the decent or even great item suggestions

**Remove Victory Shards**

Victory Shards are an ancient part of the mod, being a part of it since 2017, and haven’t been touched very much outside of being added to certain recipes. They’re not very consistent drop wise, being dropped by Aquatic/Desert Scourge, Cnidrions, and EoC. There’s no real relation to these drop sources outside of them being tough early game enemies/bosses. Additionally, Victory Shards don’t seem to be anything. Unlike most other materials which are fantastical elements made of dead space gods or mechanical plague nanobots, Victory Shards just look like shiny shards with nothing else elaborated on.

Victide Bars would be a concern, as it would no longer be progression locked by Desert Scourge (or Cnidrion). However, it's not too difficult to obtain them anyways, only requiring killing the first boss in the mod. Additionally, getting to the Ocean isn't a simple task in early pre-hardmode, and it doesn't really have any relevance in the mod overall. It is only really used as a arena for two bosses (Siren and Duke Fishron), which is very tame compared to the Dungeon or even something like the Sulphurous Sea.

Victory Shards highly inconsistent in usage, don’t fit well with the other parts of the mod. Removing them would help trim something pretty unnecessary from the mod, and help polish things up more by giving the Ocean a purpose, via making Victide Bars easily.

**Remove the walls from the 4th layer of The Abyss. **

Why? The Abyss, a completely water and darkness themed biome, is meant to give players a sense of Thalassophobia and anxiety. It does well at this, however the term "Abyss" usually means a wide-open nothingness. With the way that the Abyss is generated at the moment, it's not as good at its job since the background makes it seem less open than one would imagine. Removing the background walls from the 4th layer would make it feel a lot more open and cavernous. It would make it seem like something could emerge from the shadows at any moment. Since the background walls are currently there to spawn more water if the player decides to attempt to drain the Abyss into the underworld, there could be an alternative of something else that puts the water back (for example, the blocks that make up the walls of the Abyss)

**Shove Mantis Shrimp to hardmode only**

Pre-HM ocean is already a relatively dangerous location when going for its loot. Underwater mobility, vision, and breath are all lacking. Deaths are punishing due to the long distance between spawn and ocean on medium+ which Calamity is built around. All of the loot is on the ocean floor, which combined with the effectively flying enemies makes getting anything down there hard to do.

So does the ocean really need a small, hard to see mob that deals 400 base damage when your mobility and vision are gimped on top of the timer being underwater gives?

2- Making them placeable on dirt to transform it into astral dirt (with or without grass) would be an alternative way to create an artificial astral infection, specially when steampunker is not available or dont want to bother grinding the money for clentaminator (even more in 1.5 where steampunker wont be available pre-mechs, yet some desirable early-hm gear (namely things like gacruxian mollusk, alluring bait, titan hearts (for then to make the armor once mech dies), and specially stardust) is obtained)
2.1- Would work as a failsave for when astral meteor doesnt generate, being too much torches, platforms, skybridge, other mod stuff, or anything that would/could prevent the astral meteor from landing
3- Could replace astral monoliths in star struck water, making it easier to adquire and create an artificial astral biome using them specially when clentaminator is unavailable due to things that I already mentioned; would also be more consistent with the other water biome spread items

Hardened honeycomb, bouncy spike balls, sticky spike balls, sludge splotch, cobalt kunai, palladium javelins, adamantite throwing axes, titanium shurikens, oricalcum gemstone, mythril knives, shards of anthumbra, plaguenades, shock grenades, and crystal piercers.

All of these's consumable rogue weapons yield too little for what they cost compared to other weapons, for example hardened honeycomb only yields 10 per craft and feather knives yield 20, meanwhile weapons on the tier like rot balls, tooth balls and infernal kris yielding 100. Other example we can see is on the hm ore weapons where all except oricalcum and titanium ones yielding less than 50 (and less than 70 including those exceptions), and items from previous tiers (like the previously mentioned infernal kris) yielding more.

Others are very expensive for what they do: bouncing spike balls yield 3 despite pink gel being extremely rare to get; and sludge splotches yield 50, while murky sludge also being very rare and valuable and those weapons not doing much compared to the likes of something like gilded dagger. Shock and plague grenades despite looking cheap are also hard and/or tedious to amass in large quantities.

Increasing the yield of these items would make getting the materials to get a decent amount of them less of hassle and make consumable weapons a more reliable option to get for combat in general.

**Make Snow Ruffian armor require Leather**

Snow Ruffian armor is in this weird spot of being both super easy to craft and pretty obscure. This is partially due to Wulfrum existing thus giving players a different target for their first rogue set. This is also because players wouldn't think to toss in any of its materials into a recipe browser seeing as they are either trash blocks or due to not tossing in Boreal Wood in particular as opposed to any other wood. If you DO know about it you can get a really good armor relative to its super low of cost of 5 or so of your starter bag bombs.

Making Snow Ruffian require Leather would bring the set out of that weird spot. I'd imagine most players first exposure to Leather would be via Angry Dogs, and their first response to getting a new material is to throw it into a recipe browser. This would make the armor more well known and see more use, while also making it slightly more difficult to craft.

The armor would be kept snow biome focused as Angry Dogs are a much safer source of Leather than evil biome at game start, so no concern of it requiring a visit to a more dangerous biome. It would also help to increase either of Angry Dog's spawnrate or drop rate to make Leather more obvious.

**Give Cosmic Guardians clearer attack patterns and make them tankier**

Currently the Devourer of Gods' second phase spawns a number of smaller Cosmic Guardian worms throughout the fight. In the approximate ten seconds before they are slaughtered they do little more than continuously charge at the player, not dissimilar to wyverns. They really just end up making an already boring and unfocused fight messier.

If the guardians were to have a more sophisticated and restricted attack pattern, and also attack in unison, they could feel like a far more organic and integral part of the Devourer of God's fight. For example, the worms could charge at evenly spaced angles from off-screen and converge on the player, collectively create a small set of laser walls, or go into portals and quickly come out near the player's position in unison.
The important part is that they start doing something more interesting than mindlessly charging without cohesion.

The guardians should also become much more of a constant throughout the fight, for example by making them far more durable to attacks. On higher difficulty modes they could even become entirely invincible to up the ante.

#bugs-read-pins message
Calamity configuration is scuffed in Multiplayer. This is an ongoing issue for the best & most popular mod in Terraria. Especially on public dedicated servers. Everyone is admin, everyone has the power to change the configuration. Basically the only config options that cannot be changed on the fly are the ones that require a server restart. Also, if this is considered, I would tie HerosMod into the server scope in the case that the server & client (owner) do not have the same IP. In that case, an admin would also have access to server config aside from the server itself. HerosMod Implements a permissions system that can assign a player the proper permissions. And, of course, Singleplayer worlds should not be impacted by this change. Some of the options that impact difficulty are Frozen Lungs debuff, Lethal Lava debuff, Rage and Adrenaline mechanics, and all the Boss Rush stuff. These were pointed out bc they were more easily tested. However, there may be more that I didnt test that take players off an even playing field even further or cause chaos.

Polterghast currently has a mechanic that makes smaller, less time-consuming arenas more valuable since it has less damage and speed if there are blocks around it, but moves faster and deals more damage if there are less blocks around it.

**Make Plaguebringer Goliath summonable at any point of Hardmode**

Currently, Calamity adds many non-linear changes into the base vanilla gameplay, such as for example Lunatic Cultist being summonable at any point of Hardmode without needing to defeat Golem in first place.

These changes are very nice by the most part, letting players choose what boss to kill first on the hardmode progression, being that Plantera, Golem, Cultist, etc.

But then there's Plaguebringer Goliath, she's the only boss in the hardmode progression that isn't summonable (aside from Moonlord which requires Lunatic Cultist but that its intended) at any point the progression without the need of killing Golem.

Making her summonable at any point of the Hardmode progression, would fix this problem, and would let players fight PBG early on.
Although for obtaining its summoning method, which is a crafteable item that requires post-Golem materials, I'd say as an example that the Bio-Center Draedon Lab's at the jungle — inside its chests — would contain the summoning item.

No one likes it when a wraith, invasion enemies, or blood moon enemies walk into your base and kill your NPCs and then you have to wait a whole night to get them back. Even if you have the config enabled to let NPCs spawn at night, it's just really annoying.
If you don't have other mods and happen to get a goblin invasion or pirate invasion, then the enemies can be REALLY annoying, even if you are further in progression, because you have to keep running back to peel them off your innocent NPCs.
It could also be helpful for mob farms, in some situations they could be pretty helpful there too.
While normal traps risk harming you or your npcs, the turrets would remove that risk and just generally be a versatile and fun tool for mob farming and base building.

**Expand on the marnite set**

With a total of 3 weapons (1 being also a tool), the weapon set helps melee and ranger to progress in the early game, however the other classes get nothing. Adding more weapons and possibly even an armor would aid the other classes to explore the more dangerous biomes, flesh out the set and provide more options to kill the early game bosses.

**Add recipes or increase drop rate for the gladiator armor set**

Gladiator armor is a pain in the ass to grind for, with a roughly 5% drop chance of a piece getting dropped from hoplites, and many players would just get obsidian outlaw rather than grind hoplites for quite a while. Adding a recipe or increasing the drop rate of the pieces would make them easier to adquire for use as an early game rogue armor and an alternative to obsidian outlaw.

An upgrade to the money trough

Ok so the vanilla piggy bank/money trough is nice but it runs out of inventory spaces fast. It would be nice to have an upgraded money trough that has more inventory slots, separate slots that holds coins, and mabye even have it auto transfer coins to the upgraded money trough. This would be useful considering that running out of inventory space is just a really big inconvenience, that disrupts gameplay. And having it be accessible later in the game where having access to a large inventory space on the go wont be as huge as a game changer when you are at a point where it would just be convenient, not make gameplay easier.

**Placeable Acidwood, Acidwood platforms and furniture set**

I am the kind of person to make a house in every possible place out of everything with a furniture set and I’m sure there are more people like this too and when I was about to make a house in the Sulphurous sea for an acid rain spawn-point/house I noticed that Acidwood wasn’t placeable despite being in any-wood crafting recipes and also having a placeable looking sprite, so I propose that a furniture set and placeable blocks of Acidwood should be made. Acidwood furniture would also be good for when you’re in the Sulphurous and need to make a quick spawnpoint or house to have an npc sell a special item that is only sold in the Sulphurous sea biome, (I know you can just go to the dungeon and get some trees there but sometimes worldgen screws up and does something dumb. So in conclusion placeable Acidwood and a furniture set would be great and I can imagine it looking great too.

**Reduce the volume of Draedon Lab Turrets**

Relative to other sounds, the Draedon Lab Turrets are really loud. This is made worse by the turret's high fire rate, large activation radius, and the fact that there is always more than one present. This makes the turrets somewhat painful to listen to. A volume decrease and perhaps an active range decrease would make being near and in a lab only painful in game instead of out.

Goblin invasion is a crucial yet entirely rng dependant event that should be easier to enforce in order to keep playing the intended progression path. The goblin scout is too rare and yet it only drops one to two clothes, requiring up to 10 potential kills to alleviate rng-screwed players, which in itself, is much worse than actually waiting for the event to happen out of pure chance, which is a bad system. Killing 3 of these rare-spawning zone-dependant enemies with the worst luck possible for a standard seems like a reasonable number.

Using the gravitation potion completely invalidates a good half of the Levi&Anahita fight (The solo Levi section, plus if you killed Anahita first in the last phase). Flipping gravity dodges every single attack that Leviathan has (The minions can't catch up, the meatballs miss, and the charges come in far too late to hit you, and Levi spends several seconds just trying to get on a level equal to you to perform them anyways).

Thus, I suggest making Leviathan gain a huge burst of speed like the Aquatic Scourge when gravity is flipped, to remove a super easy cheese strategy.

**Move Ravager to Post-Provi and make him the only source of Bloodstone**

?

Ravager, progression wise, currently exists in a nebulous Hardmode and Post-Provi point, not being locked behind any progression point and getting buffed after Providence is defeated. Additionally, Bloodstone is one of his drops Post-Providence, and it’s very fitting for a flesh golem. However, the same material is dropped by Clonelamitas, Brimstone Elemental, and the Brimstone Crag enemies/crates. While this does give new life and a rematch to those enemies, Clonelamitas is just a clone of SCal, so she doesn’t really need a rematch. You already get that rematch through SCal. Brimstone Elemental and the Crag enemies don’t have quite as good of a reason to drop Bloodstone thematically, at least not when compared to a actual flesh golem like Ravager.

One could kill two birds with one stone then by moving Ravager to Post-Provi, and by making him the sole source of Bloodstone. This would prevent any cheese with saving treasure bags or crates and opening them Post-Providence, and give Ravager a much more solid place in progression. It would also make Bloodstone less of a thematic headache, being focused on one incredibly fitting boss instead of three vaguely connected ones.

**Add more options for adding or taking away aggro for multiplayer**

Multiplayer is one of the best ways to play Terraria. I believe that making Calamity mod more accessible to multiplayer is a very good idea. Adding more aggro items will help with that. Sometimes there simply aren't enough ways to keep aggro on a boss, and with solar armor being the last class of armor with added aggro, it is very hard to keep our melee person stay alive while having solar armor and flesh knuckles. Either adding accessories that boost damage/defense for increased aggro, or adding increased aggro to melee armor sets would help immensely with people who are trying to play multiplayer but keep having the boss constantly switch targets.

**Implement post-ML running shoes that can be equipped with wings**

Currently, if a player wants to use both the higher flight-time wings and maintain a respectable ground speed in post-ML, they're stuck with the Angel Treads and the wings of their choice. This leads to a dilemma where:

• The Angel Treads feel vestigial and weak, because upgrading them would also prevent you from equipping wings, yet the Angel Treads themselves are an accessory obtained as early as post-Mechs (with roughly the power level of that as well). This feels significantly worse when one considers the fact that the Tracers, being upgrades to the Treads, are better running shoes than the Angel Treads.
• The Tracers are more often used and greatly preferred because they offer the significant benefit of freeing up an accessory slot that would otherwise be dedicated to wings/running shoes. Since the Angel Treads do not feel as significant or as powerful as the extra accessory slot, the trade-off for increased flight time at the cost of an accessory slot for ground mobility feels weakening and awkward.

Implementing some form of post-ML running shoes (whether it be crafted from the Treads or not) would allow players to have a more comfortable choice in their post-ML mobility options, and help elevate the choice of wings+boots to be more on-par with picking the Tracers.

Add Subtle audio cues for when providence does her Cocoon attacks.

Providence can be an engaging boss right after Moon Lord. However, her cocoon phases can throw people off guard especially newer players who are unfamiliar with her spear and star attacks especially when she's off-screen where her stars gain speed over time.

A way to alleviate this is to put subtle audio cues similar to what Yharon does before he does his attacks (albeit a bit less noticeable), this can make providence easier to new players and provides quicker reaction time to Provi's attacks, even when she is off-screen

Herbs are currently an underutilized part of Terraria and Calamity currently. It’s peaceful and calming, and doesn’t take up too much time to do, but because it isn’t fighting enemies/bosses it gets shafted by Calamity. Blood Orbs even go against herbs, as they allow you to make potions without even touching a single herb.

Buffing herbs, such as making them produce more potions when crafted with them, would make farming them much more appealing. Another option would be to make them used in certain recipes, such as Deathweed in the Caustic Edge, but it would need to be an actually worthwhile amount and not just a single digit number.

**Rework Momentum Capacitor**

This obscure stealth item sold by Bandit after mechs is very bad and is usually outperformed by things like electrician's glove, old die, rogue emblem and raider's talisman for a damage boost. I'll quickly make a summary of why its bad.

Why does it suck so much in current version?
Its radius is very small making it unusable for hitting moving targets, it also cannot be repositioned until the area ends.
Its speed boosting capabilities arent noticeable at all unless using weapons with slow projectiles like Star of Destruction, Regulus riot, Terra Disk, and spikeballs in general.
And the damage boost it provides is the same as an emblem, and other items such as old die, electrician's glove, ruin medallion and corrosive spine have gimmicks that make them better to use.
Stealth's viability being inconsistent doesn't help either
Overall its not worth using EVER.

How could it be improved?
The gimmick is a good concept but it needs some improvements:

Increasing the radius of the effect by a substantial amount, the duration of the field and allowing it to be repositioned will help a lot to make the accessory more useful overall.

Alternatively/Additionally allow the player to place multiple fields at once, placing more than the limit will destroy the first field.
If a projectile passes through multiple fields they will receive a smaller additional boost per field; the projectiles would not be boosted by the same field more than once. This would make it more versatile in its placement by having multiple fields at once and open possibilities for rogue players daring to experiment.

The sentinels would be part of the fight for more than 1 or 2 attempts, and the 1st phase would be difficult with the sentinels appearing at certain hp thresholds. The way this could be added is a sentinel would spawn at 75%, 50%, and 25% in a predetermined order. Adding this would also probably mean that the cosmic guardians would be removed from phase 1.

This Signus Revengeance drop is a very interesting rogue accessory that allows you to teleport at the cost of stealth, giving you invincibility while teleporting and if hit during invincibility stealth meter fills up.

This sounds good in theory until you realize that its a worse Normality Relocator, that has a downside: takes stealth to use, gives no other stats and has limited range. and takes an accessory slot

Here are some proposed solutions to actually make the thing worth using while still keeping it a defensive rogue accs:
-Increase its teleporting range by a substantial amount (i mean come on #suggestions-discussion message seriously?)
-Give (defensive) stat boosts like stealth regeneration, aggro reduction, movement speed and/or defense.
-Possibly make it give increased iframes.
-Maybe remove stealth cost (removing the cost will make the item usable outside of stealth builds, but may be too strong)

This will make the item more worthwhile using while being able to compete with the other powerful defensive accs available at the tier.

**More secondary attacks for summoning weapons**

Summoner is one of my personal favorite classes and I love the glass cannon/bullet hell like feel that the class gives, but aside from the golden gun for debuffing or the other classless weapons there aren't many options for pure summoners in battle other than dodging. I really enjoyed how a few of the summoning weapons would start launching secondary attacks once all of the summon slots were filled (Dormant Brimseeker), how the midnight sun beacon causes lasers to rain down before the summoning, or how Cold Divinity has an alternate right click attack. I'm especially a fan of how the above mentioned secondary attacks feel more like laying traps for pursuing bosses rather than directly attacking which fits in nicely with the summoners fragile nature. I'd really like to see more of this implemented in the future if possible.

On top of this, while I don't think every summon weapon should have a secondary function, increasing the number of these would give some of the weapons a longer lifespan in a play through. Rather than purely upgrading to the next summon and tossing the old one, if the older one has a particularly useful secondary function then it would become viable to keep it on hand, maybe several.

**Unique fishing drops for Mushroom and Forest biomes.**

<><><><><><><><>

As of now, fishing in Calamity is quite versatile - it allows to farm vatious materials through specific crates, has unique drops, and can increase catchrate of crates and potion material fish, allowing to get a lot of ore/money and rare fish in quite a short time.

Despite all of that, some biomes are still pretty much useless fishing-wise (if we do not take quest fish into account).

I'd like to focus on Mushroom and Forest biomes in particular.
Currently Mushroom biome has no unique drops besides that one quest fish. Neither does Forest.

I would suggest:

For Forest: Making Stuffed fish drop unique to forest, increasing catchrate/making it possible to increase it further.

Example: If you do not stack fishing power without thinking and use Alluring bait (Increases chance to get material fish), Enchanted Pearl (Increases chance to get crates) and Crate potion not in combination, but separately, you get significantly more biome-specific drops, e. g. Prismite and Princess fish in surface Hallow using only Alluring bait (without Pearl and Crate potions).
In forest though, you only get bass. A lot of it.
Making stuffed fish more easily accessible would make farming plants unnecessary if you spend more time fishing instead.

For mushroom biome: A counterpart for the "normal" Stuffed fish - a consumable drop that gives Mushroom Seeds and and Glowing Mushrooms when consumed.
As of now, getting mushrooms can be a bit of a hassle, especially early on, but this addition would reward working on a pond in the biome early on by making Crabulon summons and tier 2 healing potions farmable more easily, and getting Shroomite bars later in the progression.

More downtime in between bosses in the post-ML phase of the game.

Yeah I know this one’s gonna be very unpopular since the mod is already considered too grindy by some players, but once you beat ML, the rest of the game is more or less non-stop bosses as compared to pre-hardmode or hardmode. Personally, I prefer having some grinding to do between the bosses, and I find post-ML too “fast-paced”, where it essentially becomes a boss rush after coming out of hardmode.

While post ML has many many bosses (which is great, don’t get me wrong), there isn’t too much farming for materials, mining for ores, exploring new biomes (okay to be fair this last one is pretty understandable), to do anymore, which feels rather different from the first 2 phases of the game. I know I’m in the minority of players here, but I would appreciate more “fluff” activities to do in between these bosses, similar to the farming/grind in pre-hardmode and hardmode. I won’t suggest anything too drastic, but at least some minor activities would be welcome. Thank you for reading.

Changing Classless weapons to better fit the summoner class

Since summoners, to deal with the changes to summoner damage have to use classless weapons for most of the game, as there aren't a whole lot of conventional weapons that deal summoning damage, it would make summoner a little more intuitive if classless weapons were tweaked slightly to offer a little bit more utility for summoners! Specifically, being able to set the summoning target with right click would be a god send for fights where phases are progressed through dealing with specific ads in a specific order, or just being able to focus down a specific target to get them out of the way.

Summoners are the only class who utilize the classless weapons as their "work horse" since they are essentially the only form of damage that they have control over that triggers the summoner nerf, and arguably the only ones who utilize them period, as every other class's weapons dramatically outclass them in every way in all stages of progression, in terms of damage, flexibility, and ease of use.

Having to quickly switch between items to make your minions attack the proper target and back again so you don't lose out on your buffs/debuffs can often kill you, especially if you aren't very dexterous; But being able to change the minions target with the classless weapons that already lack a secondary fire, would make summoner much more flexible, dangerous, and fun to play.

**Add a way to get opposite evil mimic drops**

Crimson and Corruption mimics have mutually exclusive drops making it near impossible to get both in one world without other QoL mods or spreading the biome a lot in caverns and waiting a long time to find the elusive mimics.
Having some sort of key to summon the opposite evil mimic would give a way to fight em or sold by an npc would allow to get their drops regardless of world allowing more variety in players' arsenal and maybe even development/upgrades for their items in the future without having to worry of not being able to acquire them in your respective evil.

**Improve Evil islands**

Currently they are very simple in design and have the simple yet nice purpose of giving access to the opposite evil's ore and biome chest weapon, however they do not provide access to other desirable content from their respective evil.

Tweaking the islands to give access to Shadow Orb/Crimson Heart stuff via having one in the island, as well access to the opposite effigy via a shrine inside them, maybe even a small pond for fishing crates or potion fish. Making the islands resemble more their respective biomes would help to also give them more immersion and possibly fitting the items inside the island better (possibly having to be made bigger), would also look better than the current pile of ore and sandstone it currently has, don't you think?

**Rework Auric Tesla Armor’s Set Bonuses**

?

Auric Tesla armor is currently the penultimate armor in Calamity (excluding shadowspec since it’s kind of just a no-hitter set), and is an amalgamation of the Post-ML armor sets, with very little added on it’s own. Ranged and Mage don’t even have any unique set bonuses from Auric Tesla, just the previous armors’ set bonuses. Not only does this make the armor itself incredibly bland and boring since the appearance of the set bonuses aren’t changed to match Auric Tesla’s look, it also causes the armor sets it absorbs to become less unique due to their abilities straight up being copied later.

Comparing this to Terraria’s endgame armor sets, most of the Pillar armors have a almost completely new gimmick that makes Auric Tesla look fairly uninspired in comparison. Nebula’s boosters from damaging enemies are a entirely new concept, Solar’s dash that improves over time is a boosted version of Tabi and Shield of Cthulhu’s dashes that still works well with melee and inspired the shield line in Calamity, Vortex...is the weakest with a buffed up shroomite stealth that doesn’t require you to stand still, and Summoner has a entirely unique Stardust Guardian you can command. Each set is unique in some way to the class, and (outside of Vortex) doesn’t copy ideas from earlier armor sets.

Making Auric Tesla have new visuals for set bonuses that actually match the armor and other weapons and giving each class something new to play with concept/mechanic wise would go a long way to improving this final armor. Removing the previous armors set bonuses/effects would help a lot in making the set feel more prominent, but isn’t entirely necessary if the new set bonuses for each class are exciting enough.

**Add a unique ammunition for Prismatic Breaker, and replace Cosmic Rainbow with Last Prism**

Prismatic Breaker is made with a magic weapon (Cosmic Rainbow) and a melee weapon (Solstice Claymore), so it should logically be a Magic/Melee weapon. But it’s a ranged/melee weapon. This is even more appalling because Cosmic Rainbow is the upgrade of the Rainbow Gun, the mage biome weapon. It has no reason to be Melee/Ranged besides the Cosmic Rainbow looking like a bow.
Thus, I propose changing the Cosmic Rainbow in the recipe to a Last Prism, and adding an analogue to the “heavy mana consumption” cost of Last Prism to Prismatic Breaker in the form of some unique ammunition that it burns through quickly and deals less damage without. This would make the weapon much more of an actual ranged weapon, since it has an ammo associated with it that boosts the power of the weapon.

However, make them passive and unable to take nor deal damage so that the player does not accidentally initiate a boss fight when they're not ready for one. One should be able to aggro the sentinel on-screen simply by using the Rune of Kos within their presence.

**Make it so that melee weapons can be swung in any direction similar to spears; they’ll always point towards cursor. And true melee strikes can knock the player back**

True melee receives many-a-buff in calamity. While I’m not quite sure if the goal was to make true melee more viable on it’s own or to have it merely be a bonus source of damage, if it’s the former, I personally find it to be far too risky for the potential rewards it has. I think this feature would be an amazing addition considering the large variety of true melee weapons which are rendered unusable against knockback resistant enemies.

The self-knockback is intended to be a safety barrier against bosses and knock back immune enemies to allow true melee weapons to do an entire fight alone. if this is impossible for whatever reason, then the spear like omni-directional swings that always go towards the cursor’s direction would be more than enough.

I think true melee weapons are really cool and should have always been something that are completely usable on their own in the first place. I’d like to note that I have literally 0 experience when it comes to game development or any programming, so please feel free to give suggestions or criticism when it comes to the idea itself or how realistic it is. It is something I thought up randomly, however i think it could turn out to be an amazing feature for melee weapons.

ok after posting this i realized that overhaul exists, however i still stand by these changes as calamity should be independent when it comes to a feature like this.

**Make Omega Blue armor reduce your regeneration, instead of completely disabling it**

Omega Blue armor has infamy of being an armor only used in glass cannon due to its powerful offensive capabilities and its downsides being mitigated somewhat by getting quickly killed.

The reason for this is its complete lack of regeneration and relying on the tentacles the set has to heal instead, however the tentacle's short range (even with setbonus ability) limits them so much specially since the bosses afterwards rely on contact dmg. This can lead to scenarios where you try to get close to lets say Old Duke to heal, to then get rammed for a big chunk of your health and then have debuffs rapidly reducing your hitpoints. The setbonus is simply too risky to use for regular gameplay.

Changing the drawback of the armor so that its less crippling would allow the armor to be used on regular gameplay and be a viable option to pick for the following options rather than to be eclipsed by other armors.

**Make Scuttler's jewel's spike be guaranteed on stealth strikes and make it not exclusive to javelins**

Scuttler's jewel is a somewhat obscure accessory but kinda decent in spammier rogue builds even with the lack of javelins in pre-hm (which hurts its viability badly as only 3 (Dune Hopper being a RIV) javelins exist in pre-hm) and its softcap. However, this accesory has many issues with its design: when using stealth strikes or something that is not a javelin the item becomes near useless due to how inconsistently and rarely its effects trigger (which is worse due to how long stealth strikes take to be used) or not trigger at all, making the accessory not worth using most of the time and being easily discarded in favor of more useful and consistent accessories. Allowing the effect to be guaranteed on stealth strikes and remove its limitation to only javelins would provide it a much needed buff and increase its viability throughout pre-hm (even early hm) and be able to compete with accessories such as Raider's Talisman, Sand Cloak and Coin of Deceit; it would also make it more consistent with other "spawns extra projectiles" accessories which arent restricted to certain weapon types.

**Tweak Ravager's Rock Pillars Ravager's Rock Pillars**

So, what's the problem with them you might say:

1. They can hit the second they spawn, the most common situation being running away from the boss at full speed and get hit by the pillars.
   My suggestion: make them spawn further away to avoid insta-damage
2. Dealing with them during Ravager's second phase is harder, considering Rav's speed, and again the pillars' ability to hit the player right when they spawn
   My suggestion: the same with the 1nd one, avoid insta-damage
3. This one is absolutely subjective, but I tried to fight Ravager with Rock Pillars despawned (using Cheat Sheet). Even without them, he's still not a pushover, just more fair and fun to fight

Add the Rusty Beacon Prototype to the Midnight Sun Beacon recipe.

The Rusty beacon prototype is a summon that is barely used or even well known for the matter, since its usability isnt as powerful unlike the early pre boss summons and it is hard to obtain, being in the sulphur chest.

A way to make it lets say more known is to make it a crafting material in the Midnight Sun Beacon. Not only do they look simiar in looks and how they attack and are in idle. It can also make sense in a long run, restoring a destroyed drone to it former glory, a fragile pitiful looking drone turning it back into a powerful beacon of destruction that it was before

**buff the ambrosial ampule’s components**

as it is, there are a few parts of the ambrosial ampule that are almost completely useless on their own- the radiant ooze and archaic powder accessories.

The radiant ooze only works during night time and requires purified gel, a post-slime god crafting material. In return for using an accessory slot on the radiant ooze it offers you 1 life regen and makes you emit light during the night. There is little to no reason to use this instead of, for example, life jelly or one of the other life-based accessories- it’s just worse than them. I would recommend to make it either more useful by making it work all the time and by having it offer more life regen, an amount of max health or by having it give a specific effect all the time. It could also have an upgrade like the living dew does in hardmode centered around, for example, the hallowed by combining it with the band of regen or panic necklace, or perhaps the cross necklace or something similar that has a similar theming to that of the hallowed. otherwise it sits in a chest or in the magic storage waiting to become the ambrosial ampule for a while

the archaic powder, while somewhat useful at certain points such as the wall of flesh fight, is not something most players use even with the explicit intention of mining in the underworld or underground. this one is in less of a need of a direct buff, but it runs into a similar problem where it will never see an accessory slot, likely not a vanity slot either.

**Add in the config for targetting passive mobs like piggy or ???**

Certain mobs like the piggy or the ??? (siren entity) Dont get targetted by summons. meaning you'd have to have atleast a weapon that can do enough damage and keep the summoner safe while the summons just do fuck all. Making a configuration would also help us focus down the boss entities rather then just watching our summons target like a crimera instead of the perforator cyst as an example. So perhaps making it target passive mobs like this would help summoners in not needing extra items just to summon certain bosses.

**Give some bosses special hitboxes for more vulnerable parts of the sprite**

Some bosses with parts of the sprite that appear more vulnerable (e.g The Hive Mind and its exposed brain) could have special hitboxes for that specific area. These special hitboxes would be much weaker by having reduced defense/DR (similarly to the WoF's eye hitboxes taking more damage). This would be balanced by not only their difficulty to hit in certain situations but also by possibly buffing the regular hitbox or adding invincibility phases for the weaker areas. While not entirely necessary I think it would change a lot of boss dynamics and not only make fights more interesting, but also incentivise players to not just circle a boss and get a free kill. While unrealistic due to the amount of work that would go into it it's a fun thought regardless and would be cool to see ingame.

**Give players the option to disable wings 100% (instead of just reduced flight time in defiled) in the configs.**

If you play with defiled rune, wings are essentially disabled. What I noticed is that if you equip items that give you a speed boost when hit, like hard turtle shell or the sponge, and when you use the sandstorm jump from either a sandstorm in a bottle or the first jump in a bundle of balloons WITHOUT ANY WINGS, you can reach speeds of 91 mph which is very useful to dodge bosses or make space from bosses. However, as soon as you equip wings in either accesory slot or even a vanity slot, the sandstorm horizontal capacity is replaced with more vertical movement from the wings. Obviously this can be done by simply not equipping wings, but for accessories like Seraph's Tracers, which provide a really good running speed, making it a must have, you are stuck with only using its predecessor. It would be nice if there is a way to disable wings 100% in configs folder so people can utilize specific movement mechanics more effectively? I realize that this movement thing may not be so obvious after talking about it to some people, so I am more than willing to show people a demo of what I mean.

**Add a new upgrade to bundle of balloons that differs from the MOAB. Maybe 'The Balloon' or 'Cluster of Balloons' **

If you are playing with defiled rune enabled, the bundle of balloons is a very nice accessory to have since it gives you vertical mobility still, but with a less precise control when compared to wings. One little obscurity I found while playing calamity is that since you cannot equip multiple wings, you cannot equip Seraph's Tracers (or any other upgraded version of it) and the Bundle of Balloon's upgrade: the MOAB. It makes sense that the MOAB cannot work in conjunction with Seraphs's Tracers (+) since they are both wings, but it isn't the most intuitive for new/unexperienced players. I also don't think its a good idea to have a accessory upgrade makes it more restrictive in terms of what other accessories it can work with. It would be nice if there was an alternative upgrade to the bundle of balloons that gave it a 4th jump (maybe the fart in a balloon or a tsunami in a balloon) but it didn't count as a wing. That way, there is an upgrade to the Bundle of Balloons that doesn't face restrictions. The only thing to mention is that this should be hardmode crafting recipe for balancing purposes, so it would require soul's of might, sight, and fright.

rn i can tell from experience that calamity isn't really balanced with multiplayer, since its probably not the main focus. but i think a few simple adjustment can be made to make it a little more balanced

i think the HP of the bosses need to be scaled up way higher than it currently is per player, since rn we can just melt trough bosses in multiplayer, also up the damage just a bit per player,

and the most important thing is i think the speed, not the general movement speed of the boss, just that if the the player the boss is chasing is way too far from it, the boss will speed up drastically to the next player, or probably just teleport to the player general area,
since some boss can easily be cheesed that way, like the aquatic scourge, profaned guardian, etc

This is due to Pulse Turret Remote having a 1 sentry limit regardless of sentry slots.

Having their 1 sentry limit removed will likely make them a more viable and consistent choice in sentry summoner builds and make them overall stronger and able to compete with the other sentries as well as make them more entertaining to use and manage their positions to maximize their effectiveness and area control that having multiple of them would provide.

Same thing goes for calamitas clone which is named "calamitas" since you do not know she isn't the real calamitas.

**Refillable Potions**

Calamity on rev+, which is what the mod is balanced around, expects you to use some amount of potions. Thus it is really important that potions be readily accessible so that players can meet that expectation and not have to do long grinding sessions between particularly hard boss attempts. Implementing a refillable would allow players to frontload all of that grind meaning no awkward breaks between boss attempts.

Refillables would also give herbs a much needed boost as they are currently outclassed entirely by Blood Orbs. Why spend the time to grind herbs, make a farm, and spend storage space on relatively limited materials when one could just farm for the universal material instead?

Function: Refillable potions should contain some amount of charges of that buff before needing a refill, both to make it more immediately appealing and to ensure they work for long fights/events. I'd recommend a crafting recipe of a high amount of that potion's materials then a massively reduced cost for refill, potentially just the herb the potion uses to give it further edge over blood orbs.

**Remove Hadarian Membranes, and make Hadarian Wings drop straight from Hadarians**

Hadarian Wings are in a tricky spot, the Hadarian Membranes are locked behind Astrum Aureus, and are left unused until post Astrum Deus, Due to the Hadarian Wings recipe requiring Astral Bars, which are locked behind Astrum Deus.
This over-complication is unneeded, and Hadarian Membranes serve no use in any other recipe in the game, other then in the Hadarian Wings recipe, in which they only serve as a slight inconvenience for any player who wants to craft said wings.
Not only is achieving the wings annoying to do, but they are also outclassed by wings prior to them, namely Exodus Wings, which are available post Lunatic Cultist, Half a tier or so before Hadarian Wings, and are locked behind a non optional boss, meaning the player is very likely to use them in almost every situation, over Hadarian Wings.

Due to the reasons above, I suggest removing Hadarian Membranes, due to them only serving as item bloat and an inconvenience, and making the wings drop DIRECTLY from the Hadarian enemy (post Astrum Deus, seeing the use of Astral Bars), to make these wings simpler to get, and from that, making them quicker to use in comparison to Exodus Wings or Betsy wings.

Alter the themes of the Frost Moon, Pumpkin Moon and Solar Eclipse Post DoG

These three events get buffed after DoG and Yharon P1 (with all three being Post DoG in the future update). So with it being significantly harder and considering that it is a post ML event. An alternate or revision of the Three themes will add to the aesthetic that these three aren't the same events you tackled in Hardmode.

**Include all yharon's subphases in death mode**

Death mode bosses used to skip their earlier phases, but in recent updates have been changed to include all their phases to make them feel more fleshed out. A good example is dragonfolly and old duke, which initially skipped phase 1 but later on didn't. Adding back both subphase 1 and 4 into the fight will make the fight feel more complete. This also removes the awkward transition where yharon needs to pause after fully transitioning into phase 2 which ruins the pace of the fight but in revengeance, he continues attacking due to not needing to change phase.

**Shift Disseminator to post-Polterghast**

Disseminator is an often overlooked weapon on its tier due to being overshadowed by many other options such as Onyx chain blaster, Shredder, Starfleet and Golden eagle (post-Folly) fulfilling its niche already and being overall more consistent vs the tier’s bosses (Guardians, Dfolly and Providence) and even the Sentinels.

On the other hand there is no shotgun weapon right after Polterghast (and a lack of ranger weapons in this tier with just 5 and later 2 more after Old Duke) leaving here a hole that Disseminator could fill. This would make the weapon finally stand out and fix the lack of weapons at this tier.
Additionally would also solve the problem of Conclave Crossfire being upgraded the tier afterwards as a bonus as well.

**Move Celestial Magnet’s crafting recipe to Pre-Hardmode**

?

Celestial Magnet is one of three vanilla items that is obtainable in pre-hardmode, but can only be crafted in Hardmode. The other two are Cobalt Shield (which can alternatively be obtained with Dungeon Crates, so the recipe with cobalt is for those who don’t wanna fish), and Magic Carpet crafted with souls of night/light and ancient cloth. However, Celestial Magnet is further locked behind Destroyer’s souls of might. Magic Quiver and Frozen Turtle Shell, actual hardmode accessories, can be crafted before Celestial Magnet can be.

Moving Celestial Magnet to Pre-Hardmode would make it more in-line with the other craftable vanilla accessories, and allow mages to start utilizing it sooner, without having to rely on the luck of Traveling Merchant.

**Make the Sulfurous Sea larger and with better terrain generation**

We’ve all been there before, finding our Sulfur Sea and being met with one of 2 things. A massively overfilled ocean, maybe even spreading over to the dungeon. Or, a half drained ocean with almost no water making the acid rain event almost impossible. And that’s not all I’ve seen, the corruption cuts through on occasion. So I propose a fix or change, make it so the sulfur sea will override any biome changes (like how the abyss always has a void stone wall) or make the shore of the sulfur sea larger or higher.

This change should be able to save the Sulfur Sea from buggy terrain generation and maybe could lead to a change to the abyss entrance or just better terrain than before.

Re-color armor sets based on their class.

Calamity seems to have a lot of same armor-different head piece sets, which are great. Buut, it would provide a lot od diversity, if different head pieces changed the accent color/secondary color of theese sets. The colors could be the same as vanilla endgame (orange melee, green ranged, purple magic, blue summoner). It would give emphasis to different classes, that sadly calamity has kinda taken away. Or maybe, they could have auras, of the classes color, so vanities wouldn't hide them.

Custom UI for Lore Items and Draedon's Logs

Create some menu that can be opened from a button in the inventory or through a hotkey. This menu would look like a book, similar to Boss Checklist's Boss Log (but Calamity themed obviously). It would hold all the lore in the mod, so the player can look through it without having to have the actual boss Lore Item or Draedon's Log. Current lore items and logs would then be consumables, which when used fill in entries in this new book. The Calamity mod is full of in-depth lore that explains most of the enemies, weapons, biomes, etc. in the mod. With this new UI, players would have an easier access to that lore in-game by centralizing it all in one place instead of spread out across multiple items. It can also help completionists, so they can more easily track which lore they have obtained without having to sift through their chests to find an item. This UI could also be an outlet to add more lore into the game in future updates.

Amidias is a npc that provides a single set of water themed items, and summons for aquatic bosses such as Old Duke and Aquatic Scourge. Aside from this, he provides minor lore benefits and hints via his help feature. Overall, he becomes fairly irrelevant very quickly when compared to Permafrost, who sells not only one set of weapons, but an additional set after the frost moon is defeated. Giving Amidias a similar treatment would ensure he stays relevant like the rest of the Cal NPCs, but would likely need a change due to over abundance of weaponry. Fishing equipment would make a lot of sense, and could help alleviate bait from the merchant.

The post ml bosses are a nice addition, but them currently being the only content is kind of a huge issue. Terraria's bosses work so well because if you lose to a boss, you get the option to do something else to power up. Calamity's post ML bosses don't allow for this since there's nothing to do between bosses. This is not only exhausting for the player, but leads to a ton of frustration. Me and my friends pretty much got burned out before we could even finish supreme calamitas in the playthrough we did.

Anahita singing a lullaby to summon levi.
Signus's Spawn has the rune fly over the player then get covered in darkness.
Ceaseless Having the rune fly over the player then A plasma orb spawns over it and explodes, not dealing damage.
And Cryogen Having the cryokey fly into the air then shatter in to pieces.

**Buff Momentum Capacitor**

Momentum Capacitor is an obscure accessory that is sold by the bandit. It summons a small electromagnetic(?) field that gives a boost to the rogue projectiles that go through em, the gimmick sounds good on paper but its horrible in execution; Momentum capacitor is simply not worth using, it is outclassed badly by old die, emblems, electrician's glove and possibly even raider's talisman, this suggestion aims to buff and/or rework the item so that competes with them instead.
Here's 2 takes on how I would change this item, the developer team can pick which one would be the best for the mod.

Idea 1:
Rather than having to rely on a field to boost the projectiles, its now an activated ability that gives you x seconds of boosted projectiles. Additionally buff the dmg gain a substantial amount so that its worth using over an emblem.

This would remove the passing through field gimmick and give it a separate one that's usually only seen in armors; it would also make it more usable outside of builds that have not specked into stealth, giving a significant dmg boost to stealth strikes and regular attacks alike.

Idea 2:
Giving it an effect similar to Tesla potion and Blunder booster, increase the size of the field a bit and projectiles that pass through inflict electrified, maybe this can be absorbed by blunder booster as a sort of upgrade. It would also have a passive velocity and a small dmg buff to still have an effect when not using the field.

This one keeps the field gimmick and improves greatly on it, thus making the accessory powerful yet tricky to get the most of it while also giving a significant increase to the dmg output if using its strengths and not being punished as badly for not making the most out of the field and keeping its effects later in the game (if it gets absorbed by blunder booster that is).

**Make Bandit less obscure to find**

Bandit and her items as a whole are very obscure and unknown to the player base; players will never know of her existence and items unless someone told them prior due to her requirement of having 1 platinum coin on the inventory (or piggy bank) which they may not have after Skeletron has been defeated. As an npc and her items she can be considered the rogue counterpart to the Arms dealer.
I propose that her requirement is changed to something more relevant and easier to stumble upon.

An idea discussed in #suggestions-discussion suggests that making her encountering method be linked more to the world such as looting a lab but needing to be saved from the pulse turrets (say hiding inside a crate) would be far less obscure and more impactful as players would need to find a lab eventually, the requirement should be moved to be at any point in the game rather than post-Skeletron to make her easier to stumble upon, but keeping most of the items she currently sells (such as Cniceda and Old die) post-Skeletron for balance (and maybe progression) reasons.

Acquiring her earlier could also open possibilities to alternative ways to getting certain rogue items such as Bloody/Filthy glove and Scuttler's jewel, consumable weapons and more depending on progression. Could also add some more general items to help players early on.

**Buff Scuttler's jewel by allowing its spike be guaranteed on stealth strikes and making it not exclusive to javelins**

https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Scuttler's_Jewel in case you don't know what item it is, I don't blame you.
Anyways Scuttler's jewel is a somewhat obscure accessory but kinda decent in spammier rogue builds even with the lack of javelins in pre-hm (which hurts its viability badly as only 3 (Dune Hopper being a RIV) javelins exist in pre-hm) and its softcap.

However, this accesory has many issues with its design: when using stealth strikes or something that is not a javelin the item becomes near useless due to how inconsistently and rarely its effects trigger (which is worse due to how long stealth strikes take to be used) or not trigger at all, making the accessory not worth using most of the time and being easily discarded in favor of more useful and consistent accessories.

Allowing the effect to be guaranteed on stealth strikes and remove its limitation to only javelins would provide it a much needed buff and increase its viability throughout pre-hm (even early hm) and be able to compete with accessories such as Raider's Talisman, Sand Cloak and Coin of Deceit; it would also make it more consistent with other "spawns extra projectiles" accessories which arent restricted to certain weapon types.

***What about adding support to "Extra Large" type world generation for Calamity biomes?***

Apparently, tModLoader running in 64 bits mode allows the user to create extra large worlds which are, obviously, even bigger than the large option.
It does sounds good but when you realize that custom/modded biomes are not adapted for such type of generation, it gets disappointing real quick.

The problem is, compared to any generated structure or biome from vanilla, Calamity's biomes are quite small and/or kind of glitched (yea, i'm looking at you, Abyss).

Adding/fixing such a feature would allow some players to experience a crazy amount of exploration and still enjoy Calamity's atmosphere via feeling how big those bizarre biomes can get.

**Add viable and interesting alternatives to healing potions**

The health potion is probably the most important consumable in the game (especially during bossfights or combat), yet the implementation of it is somewhat lacking. You press a button and get healed, and a timer is put into place to prevent you from spamming the potions. While simplistic and easy-to-understand, this implementation is very uninteresting and leads to stale gameplay that mostly boils down to "press the quick-heal button sometimes to not die".

There are a few alternative healing potions that we currently have, such as Bottled Honey, Bloodfins, Wine, Margarita and Restoration Potions, but they're still very similar to the base health potion and the essence of the items still are "press a button to not die". Other methods of healing, such as the Relic of Convergence, the Rare Sand Elemental, or even lifesteal and regeneration are used in conjunction with healing potions and don't really remedy the issue of the staleness of health potion gameplay.

Possible ideas for alternatives include:

• A healing item that requires you to fulfill criteria in order to receive the healing (for example, doing enough damage/landing true melee strikes/not getting hit)
• An item that uses the same timer as health potions with an equal or possibly greater defensive power than just healing (something similar in concept to purified jam)

**Some form of change/buff to the camper**

The camper is a mid-game accessory that provides a few buffs. However, they require the player to be standing still to take effect. Not only that, but using a weapon while moving with the camper equipped means the damage output will be set to 0. Given that players more or less need to dodge to survive a boss fight (especially for the later bullet hell fights), the benefits would have to be extremely high. Yet the benefits of the camper are more or less just… some placeable arena buffs that you likely already have and a damage boost. Even during pre-hardmode- well before this accessory is available- it would probably still be considered bad due to the massive drawbacks. While the concept makes sense from a name perspective (the player is required to “camp” in one spot to gain effects), the implementation makes it utterly useless from a gameplay perspective.

**Add tooltip lines in Death Mode for items which help combat cave darkness**

Death Mode adds cave darkness, a mechanic where the underground becomes darker the lower you go. Of course, you also know that there are several items which can be used to combat this darkness effect. However, there isn't exactly anything specifically stated in-game about which items can be used to counteract this, which can be confusing and inconvenient.

Therefore, I suggest adding a tooltip line for items which can be used to combat cave darkness. Like the heat/cold immunity tooltip, this tooltip could only appear when you're playing in Death Mode. Also, certain items counteract the darkness better than others, which can also be reflected in the tooltips. (For example, "Slightly reduces cave darkness" vs. "Greatly reduces cave darkness")

**Server-sided configuration (with Hero's Mod Support)**

Make the config file server sided for settings like Boss HP adjustments, NPC spawning, etc. This will be helpful to worlds with dedicated servers (usually, for open server scenarios, HERO's mod is usually installed). Reasons are as follows:

• Unable to change the HP on the fly when we need to as we made an extremely difficult world and is still balancing out. The server needs to edit the config file manually in the server so that it will take effect and restart it.

• Enabling/disabling rage and adrenaline only affects client-sided players, meaning we can't disable it for all players in the server effectively as it requires all players to also edit their configuration to disable them, and as such there is no way to enforce it as a rule.

• Boosted mining speed cannot also be respected as this is only client sided. we wanted to disable boosted speed but the rule cannot be applied to all players as this setting is client-sided.

UI stuff like positions of the meters or stealth invisibility effect should remain client-sided.

**Blizzard expansion/new features**

Currently blizzards in both vanilla and calamity are a very minor event that only has 1 exclusive enemy, ice golems, that could be considered an equivalent to sand elementals in sandstorms. However, sandstorms not only have several unique enemies that spawn only during it (i.e. sandsharks) and allowing underground enemies to spawn above ground, but also a post plantera boss with no snow biome equivalent, the great sand shark, which while obscure at least adds a continued purpose to sandstorms beyond early to mid hardmode.

Blizzards are very lacking in this department and should be expanded on to keep them relevant, whether through a new great sand shark miniboss equivalent (alpha/apex snow wolf?) that gives new drops for new gear/upgrades to previous snow biome gear, or giving a similar feature to sandstorms where certain normally underground enemies or entirely unique enemies will spawn only during blizzards, or making existing snow enemies (i.e. the somewhat rare angry dog) spawn more frequently. This would hopefully give blizzards just a bit more purpose beyond just one enemy during one stage of the game.

**Make iron heart disable lifesteal and give a chance for enemies and bosses to drop hp pickups**

Most of the player base does not use it due to how unappealing it is. Currently the the majority of the players use the difficulty use it alongside Armageddon to abuse items that have effects under certain thresholds of hp such as Old Duke's Scales and Necklace of vexation during fights, or just to brag.
Outside of these cases, the difficulty encourages to min max, either for dmg due to how quickly the player dies thanks to the minimum dmg and no healing (and many defensive accessories playing around regeneration (which is disabled) such as Sponge and its components) or get as much lifesteal effects as possible via gear (such as vampiric talisman, or spectre hood armor) or using weapons with the effect. This creates and extremely rough early game and a semi-trivial late game and low setup variety, it also creates scenarios where players are more inclined to run a certain class due to the availability of lifesteal; for instance Rogue players get a huge headstart over the rest with Bloodstained glove, while other classes have to wait for later in the game (usually Rare Sand elemental; mages can try to use Mana polarizer) for a reliable way to heal. This is not even taking into account the lifesteal cooldown penalites for higher difficulties or how inconsistent it can be.

Shifting the focus from lifesteal to health pickups would give a more reliable way to heal across the game, for every class. By making enemies have an increased chance of dropping them and have bosses occasionally drop hearts during fights would provide a more consistent mean of healing for all classes regardless of difficulty and progression. It would additionally make using items that work under certain % of health more intriguing and easier to use as well as give more room for defensive accessories and weapons without lifesteal, rather than centralizing the mode around items with it.

**Rework Death Mode Environment Effects to be more complex**

Death Mode as a whole is the toughest, most complex mode in Calamity, a mod known for being fairly deep and complex. Despite this it's most notable difference, environment effects, is strikingly boring. There is the immediately noticeable but boring cold and hot effects, but also the spiky bushes and environmental effects such as bleeding in jungle water that are much less utilized.

The hot and cold environment effects are very well known, but practically only matter pre-boss/pre-hm. Once you're past that point, crafting gear to counteract the effects is trivially easy, and you can always just slap a single accessory on like Frost Barrier on to counteract all of the effects. Additionally, any exploration in certain areas is completely locked off due to how excessively punishing the debuffs are, which goes against Calamity's ideals to let the player progress how they want.

Reworking the environmental heat/cold effects to work more similarly to the Abyss' various mechanics (punishing the player for being unprepared but still allowing them to visit the biome) and buffing the current environmental dangers and making them scale would make the most unique changes in Deathmode much more enjoyable and relevant. Additionally, bosses could utilize some of the environmental dangers for new attacks, such as Brimstone Elemental shooting geysers from the lava or Duke Fishron summoning a larger version of his Sharknado from the water.

**Add More Items That Nerf Certain Aspects Of The Game (Like The Ball And Chain)**

Adding more items That Nerf Certain Stuff gives players more choice on challenges.

By changes on what it nerfs i mean, one nerfs combat like thing like attack speed and damage so that the player has to come up with more strategy for boss fights

another could nerf healing and mana regen, such as increasing time between healing and regenerating mana or making healing potions and mana potions heal half of what they will usually heal

More things like this could add more variety on what challenges could be done.

Also They Will Be Toggleable Via Inventory Favorite.

There already is a ball and chain that nerfs speed, so why not more varied ones?

**Rebalance or remove some post-ml armor sets**

After Moon Lord, there are 6 main armor sets: Lunar, Tarragon, Bloodflare, God Slayer, Silva and Auric Tesla. The problem is while Lunar and Tarragon are used for 3 and 4 bosses (respectively), Bloodflare is used for 2, and the rest only 1 (1/2 for God Slayer).

While these armor sets are cool and fun to use, using an armor set for 1 boss and then immediately ditching it straight after feels like a waste, especially when most of the time the next armor is a near-direct upgrade to the previous tier.

Vanilla doesn't have this problem (as much) because a) there are less armor sets in general and b) some armor sets have a use much further in progression than when they were acquired (like titanium, for example).

**Give Anahita a better spawn mechanic**

In the lore she is meant to lure you in to kill you and feed you to Levi, not for you to have to kill an 'enemy' for her to awaken. It would make more sense if the method to spawn her was not based on attacking her, rather something more similar to being lured in.
A different method to change her spawn could be: To interact with her and have a dialogue option like "Listen" or something which spawns her."

**Make the Armoured Digger an Actual miniboss instead of just an Enemy With high Hp**

right now the armoured digger is just there, its not an enjoyable fight at all and it doesnt have that much reward (minus draedons remote and arsenal components but thats it) and its a shame because its a really cool enemy imo and has a lot of potential, so i have a way of making the armoured digger an actual fight

Add more attacks: adding more attacks then just dash and drop debree would make the fight better like adding some sort of laser projectile it shoots or something a long those lines
you could also make it have a dash phase that makes it have a speed boost but lose defence

Adding more loot: right now when the armoured digger dies it doesnt drop anything unique (apart from draedons remote) so adding some weapons it can drop will make it actually worth a fighting for some loot (not too much)
(the reason i say the draedons remote isnt worthwhile is because it summons buffed mech bosses, which is cool when you first get it but gets a little stale after a while, arsenal parts are also cool but there are easier ways of getting them (chests) and the amount you get from the chests are pretty high amounts)

Add servant interactions in the DoG battle besides the fight in between the 2 phases

In my opinion DoG is one of the least difficult and most repetitive "major boss fight" post ML, sure the sprite, music, lore and all that is awesome but past the first fight you'll notice that besides the occasional laser wall all it does is chase you and shoot some lasers. As a way to spice the fight a bit there could be some new attacks the DoG can do by way of summoning his servants for a short time to try to throw the player off balance and overall make it a more entertaining fight.

Some ideas: when the DoG is charging straight at the player it also shoots lightning at the position of the player like storm weaver. In the laser wall section the ceaseless void spawns shortly to throw its spheres and get the player distorted, then leave. While its throwing lasers at the player a beam locks to the player and a few seconds later Signus charges a few times in a straight line and then leaves.

I know some players might already be struggling with the regular DoG fight but this new attacks could be added in revengeance or death mode, after all death mode is supposed to be as hard as it gets in calamity and if I'm being honest I don't think DoG stands up to Providence or Yharon in terms of difficulty or replayability

Create a large natural area of the dungeon for CV and Polter fights

Reason: At the moment, when you get to the Ceaseless void and polterghast fights, you need to mine out a huge area of the dungeon to fight them in. This end up being time consuming and if the arena isn't created well there can be a buff to the boss increasing speed and damage due to active block count. If there was a naturally generated arena, like in the jungle temple for golem then it would be much more practical and avoid unfair deaths to bosses.

**Provide Signus and CV with unique armor sets like Storm Weaver's**

Currently, Storm Weaver is in a weird spot among the Sentinels, being the only one with an armor set locked behind it. Despite that Prismatic Armor is technically a patreon item, this still doesn't make sense from a gameplay standpoint.

Currently, there's little to no reason to refight Ceaseless Void and Signus unless you are looking for obtaining/upgrading very specific items such as Cosmic Kunai, Arcanum of the Void and Statis's Void Belt, and as such these two bosses have a very very dimished impact on progression, while Prismatic Armor's unique functionality can lead to a variety of unique strategies.

Giving these two bosses their own armors could give people more reasons to fight them other than for the next boss's summon, and making these armors unique could lead to more interesting strategies and setup variety

On top of this, Post-Moonlord as it currently is is very barren and linear in terms of what setups (especially armor sets) to use. You go from the Luminite armors to either Tarragon, then a boss and a few refights later Bloodflare armor which you immediately discard after DoG for Godslayer Armor, a set which in turn is discarded half a boss later for the next upgrade, after which are all combined into one amalgam of all of the above, with a grand total of three alternatives spread across Post-Moonlord's long, tall and barren progression tree.
So, a few extra specialised armor sets could be beneficial, especially with the upcoming power curve flattenning potentially delinearising this last stage of progression.

that said, some ideas to top it off because why not:
For Void: an extremely tanky summoner set, with a large part of its tankiness tied to a group of vulnerable dark energies

For Signus: a rogue armor working with the way in which you are moving

**Greatly increase Draconic Swarmer Spawnrates in early-PostML Jungle, make Efflugent Feather drops rarer**

Currently, Draconic Swarmers pretty much solely serve as an alternative source of Efflugent Feathers. However, they are so incredibly rare that they're almost never considered worth farming for. The easy solution for this is to subtly increase the spawnrates so that you can amass usable amounts of Efflugent Feathers in a reasonable amount of time...

...however, the Swarmers have the potential to also do silent storytelling, and tease the Dragonfolly's boss fight. If, instead, the Swarmers can be found in spades in the jungle (especially on the surface), not only attacking the player but also other enemies, possibly accompanied by "nest" worldgen structures all throughout the surface jungle, they could help liven up the place- and also foreshadow the Dragonfolly fight.

To balance this out, the droprates of Efflugent Feathers from the swarmers should be drastically decreased, so that the Dragonfolly is still worth fighting as an Efflugent Feather source.

Bonus: if a player is carrying Exotic Pheromones in their inventory all Draconic Swarmers gain increased aggression towards that player

Yet one of the easiest bosses to accidentally summon, the Lunatic Cultist, has no item to prevent the cultists from spawning? Well, either that or just make it so the item makes them unable to be damaged while favorited. Sure, while you could just manually block the dungeon entrance to stop the cultists from spawning, it'd be much more convenient to have an item in the lines of the other anti-accidental boss spawn items. Nothing worse than accidentally summoning that annoying plague doctor-masked dude when you just wanna rematch Polter.

I suggest shortening Providence to "Providence" and Yharon to "Yharon." Polterghast's extra names could be turned into an April Fools exclusive.

Some summon or death messages are also strange, including Desert Scourge, Calamitas Clone, Astrum Deus, and The/A Dragonfolly (although the latter makes slightly more sense.)

Too bad, you're never seeing them again unless you make a new world! Playing multiplayer? Looks like it's time to fight to the death over who gets that Luxor's Gift, now isn't it? I think you can see my point. I'm not sure how exactly this issue could be fixed without defeating the whole purpose of the shrines. Maybe NPCs could sell them for high prices at fixed game progression points, maybe they could be in specialized chests that trigger flags allowing said shrine item to be found elsewhere once the chest has been opened once, I'm honestly not sure. Point is, this issue really needs addressing somehow.

**Allow Astral Sand (and possibly Sulphuric and Eutropic Sands) to be used as ammunition for the Sandgun and the Sandstorm**

The Sandgun is a pretty well known weapon for its somewhat unique way of attacking, that being using actual sand tiles and hurling them up at the enemy.
The Sandgun(s) can use Sand tiles as ammo, but can also use Ebonsand, Crimsand and Pearlsand, with the added bonus of the latter three piercing the enemy.

With that in mind, how come the 3 (1 of them being a falling sand tile with an existing Sand Ball sprite, being the Astral Sand) new sand types not get this treatment, or atleast inclusion in the ammunition group? This gets wierder when you look at the Sandstorm, an upgrade to the Sandgun, showing clear knowledge of this weapon and its unique properties.

I suggest to include the 3 Calamity Sand Tiles, and perhaps giving them a fresh gimmick (be it a DoT, faster projectile speed, and the likes), to allow the Sandgun to get a fresh indirect "Buff", increase the likeliness players would visit the 3 biomes to acquire these Sand blocks for the use of the weapons, and to make the mod more consistent with the game.

Changes requested:
Total hp of segmented boss (ex:EoW) Or total boss hp once arms are defeated on specific bosses (ex: skp and skeletron)
Reason:
Ok so say you are doing an intense boss fight and the boss has segments or arms (kinda like EoW, and skeletron) If you want to see the boss's actual health you must hover over the boss itself. This is problematic in single player if your player char is low (yes I know percentages exist) you cant see the actual health of the boss without possibly dying so make it so for bosses with arms/must kill extras that once those are dead, it displays the heath of the main target (like other bosses). This, if possible, would be a nice QoL feature - I think.

Shield of Cthulhu Upgrade

In right hands, using it counter-attack ability, this could help to dodge a lot of attacks in pre-hardmode and some people succeded to use it even till mid-hardmode. It works like dashing to an enemy, giving him damage, and finally knocking him and you back with no damage. It is also a preferable choice in no-hits, because it gives you i-frames to skip the damage and continue battling. Using Asgard's Valor, for example, will also give you i-frames, but instead of bouncing off and knocking enemy back, you will just go through it, so you will have a little more chances to take damage after that. SoC have a slow cooldown and a little dash length for balancing purposes in pre-hardmode, and so can't be used against top-tier bosses, for example, Yharon.
I know this sounds pretty oddly to use SoC in the top-tier - even when small amount of people(as I see) thought to use the ability to actually dodge the attacks with counter-attacks in pre-hardmode, but I think, if to make this one correctly, it would make a real one alternate way to beat the bosses.

I think dashes from accessories like shield of Cthulhu should be able to be used vertically as well as horizontally

This would allow much more convenient positioning around boss attacks, currently the dodge is most effectively used when flying directly above a boss or when fighting bosses that have falling projectiles such as crabulon and hardmode giant clam, however lingering boss attacks such as the brimstone elemental’s laser beam and spazmatism’s breath dont allow players to make much use of the i-frames provided by the dodges, its the same problem with worm bosses charging directly at the player. It would also allow players to position themselves around horizontally fired projectiles instead of needing to perfectly time immunity frames
The change could also allow a quick change in vertical momentum instead of waiting for the acceleration/deceleration from wings to kick in to change direction, allowing players to make fast decisions about their vertical positioning to better dodge boss attacks

An item, accessory, or straight up mechanic that allows summoner to directly control their minion's attacks and positioning.

i believe that this will help alleviate what i believe is summoners biggest issue, summoner more so than other classes feels like just a bystander, dodging attacks. there's no real engagement, not a fight, just a survival. but this change will make summoners have to invest effort into the attacks at the boss, as well as provide a greater sense of engagement to the player by directly involving their input into the fight itself
i believe that this change will also add to summoner as a class, by giving it a proper identity. in this new mechanic, summoner will feel like a leader commanding it's summons rather than them just doing whatever, it will also allow summoners greater control over their attacks, where currently they're suggesting where their attacks go, now they will really be dictating where they go.

**Buff or Rework Momentum Capacitor**

Momentum Capacitor (https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Momentum_Capacitor if you don't know what it is, I don't blame you) is an obscure accessory that is sold by the bandit. It summons a small electromagnetic field that gives a 15% dmg boost as well as a movement boost to the rogue projectiles that go through em, an interesting gimmick that is simply not worth using due to the following:
-Its outclassed badly by old die, emblems (yes even avenger emblem), Ruin medallion and possibly even raider's talisman due to their boosts not needing a gimmick.
-Corrosive spine, and electrician's glove have far better and more consistent gimmicks, none of these items are worth replacing by capacitor
-It occasionally boosts boomerang's speed so much that they don't return due to the projectile despawning.
-The radius of the field is too small and can't be repositioned until expired
-Stealth cost is too high and inconsistent, other items (Boosters, Spectral veil, and Sand Cloak) consume 25% stealth while this one 30%

Buffing the item to have its boosts be more meaningful as well as having the cost be consistent with other items and/or as well reworking the item to be more useful would make this item more worth using (and buying)

**Buff Aureus Cells**

Aureus Cells are an obscure boss drop that serves as as a Mana, Mana Power and Mana Regeneration Potion at the same time. It also serves as an ingredient for Astral Injections (and the Astral Beacon, for worst-case scenarios).

However, that's not enough to make it stand out, or at least worth the grind. Everything beneficial about Aureus Cells themselves can be obtained through other means, even before fighting Astrum Aureus.
That's why I suggest giving Aureus Cells their own buff, combining the Mana Power and Mana Regeneration effects into one buff slot, something like "Aureate Mana" (I'll use this name for reference later on).

Such change would make them a great drop for Mages. With their own buff, Aureus Cells would stack with Mana Power and Mana Regeneration Potions, providing more options for Mages that wish to improve the base stats of the class. Furthermore, uniting the Aureus Cells bonuses under one buff would free up a buff slot, which would be great for people who are struggling with buff management or that wish to use the aforementioned strategy (stacking buffs).
Combining "Aureate Mana" with "Mana Regeneration", for example, would take just as many buff slots as the current Aureus Cells, but with a significant mana regeneration bonus over the latter.
I feel like that would improve it as a boss drop and provide a fair, moderate alternative to the Astral Injection - while also not buffing the Aureus Cells directly (since they'd still give the same effects).

Elaborating on the Astral Injection dilemma, some Mages just don't use them often. They're somewhat niche, given that "mana potion" Mages would rather use potions that are consumed automatically, and "mana regen" Mages don't usually have a need for such absurd mana regen/don't like the Mana Sickness debuff.
Reworked Aureus Cells would make for a more moderate and versatile buff while not surpassing Astral Injection in quality.

**Add voice acting for bosses with dialogue as a setting.**

As someone who loves lore and reading dialogue from characters, it really bugs me that I'm barely able to read the dialogue spoken from bosses. I feel it would be a neat idea to have an option to enable boss voice acting.

Having voice acting would be extremely helpful because the dialogue is incredibly difficult to read what the bosses are saying while trying to dodge/beat the boss. It doesn't help either that the dialogue text is extremely small on larger monitors which I have.

We have already seen a few examples of voices being made indirectly with the mod. Examples of voice acting has already been shown in the intro of the music video of "Stained, Brutal Calamity" (SCal), end of "Left Alone" (SCal), and the end of "Boss Rush Tier 3" (Draedon). (Possibly even more, but I do not recall more examples at the moment.)

Having voice acting will hype up the final bosses even more as it would feel a lot more personal if the bosses spoke directly to the player while in battle with a voice.
I've talked to a few people about it and it seems to be a 50/50 split if people want it or not, which is why I'm suggesting it as a setting in the config, as some people don't feel like it would fit in with Terraria. Another solution to this would be to bind the setting to turn it on and off in a key bind, so you could enable/disable the voice acting in-game instead of opening the menu to enable/disable it. (It could have a volume slider for the voice acting as two key binds as well.)

My town is sort of close to my scal arena, but it's not close enough that it's remotely within my immediate vision during the fight, so it seems unnecessary that Scal's attacks should be able to reach that far to kill NPCs.

To fix this I suggest limiting her attack range so that her attacks only do damage to entities within the player's field of vision or an area slightly larger than it. This change could also apply to multiplayer so that additional players trying to cheese the fight by being outside the cube are still affected by bullet hells and attacks, but any NPCs are still safe as long as they aren't within any player's immediate field of view.

**Add items that increase grab range**

With the removal of buffs on lore items there is a void of items that increase your grab range. I think that increasing grab range was a very useful buff for these items and should be re-introduced somehow.
My first thought was a Demon Heart like item that permanently increased it but another thought could be changing the enchanted butterfly to increase it instead of going to pick up the items for you.

**Make Duke Fishron weapon drops be counted as nature weapons**

Duke Fishron can be considered a nature boss due to his origins in a "natural" biome (the ocean), Duke Fishron's weapon drops are based off of this natural design, and similar bosses to Duke, such as Aquatic Scourge and Anahita & Leviathan, have their drops counted as nature weapons. So, why aren't Duke weapons counted as nature weapons?

**Make the Travelling Merchant rarer and make it sell counted materials that scale on how far you're into the playthrough**

The Travelling Merchant becomes increasingly useless the more you advance into the mod (Especially since the only modded item he sells is the Frost Barrier), so I'd raise the rarity of how often he can spawn at the start of each day from 22.12% chance of spawning to a rarer 10-15%, and make it sell different modded and vanilla materials (But not ores) along with the normal vanilla (mostly vanity) stuff.
Examples: After WoF is defeated and the astral meteorite appears, make him uncommonly sell a Titan's Heart or some stardust along his normal shop items.
After Calamitas is defeated, make him rarely sell 1 to 3 units of Ashes of Calamity or a small amount of abyss materials.
After the Brimstone Elemental is defeated, make him rarely sell 3 to 6 Unholy Cores.

**Add Hardmode environmental effects in Death Mode**

The environmental effects are, in my opinion, one of the features that make Death really stand out. Unfortunately, from mid pre-Hardmode onwards, they're not really a problem and a cool difficulty gimmick is basically abandoned.
This is why I suggest adding Hardmode environmental effects. Here's a couple examples.

The Astral Infection is a biome that, despite its nature-warping properties, doesn't really have any effect at all on the character.
Which is why I think that being in the Astral biome should give you a passive debuff (something like "Astral Conversion") that reduces the player's max HP. This loss grows exponentially over time, until it hits the cap.
Defeating Astrum Aureus weakens that debuff, or unlocks a potion/structure that can negate this effect for a few minutes, and defeating Astrum Deus removes the debuff from the biome entirely.

Likewise, the Jungle should have a passive plague debuff after the Plague befalls it and before the Plaguebringer Goliath is defeated. After a while in the Jungle, the player starts to lose HP, and this effect grows exponentially until it his its cap. As mentioned, defeating PBG would make the debuff disappear from the biome completely.

These changes not only make sense in the context of Death Mode, but would also help solidify the connection of the biomes and bosses to the world, showing the effects of their presence in the environment.
Also, I want to point out that the aforementioned examples are merely ideas, the suggestion itself is just "Hardmode environmental effects".

A large amount of Vanilla summon weapons (especially hardmode ones) are completely left in the dust by Calamity's updated roster of weapons. Whether it be bad AI (pygmy, tempest) or lacklustre damage (spider, deadly sphere), most of the time it's just not worth using a completely inferior weapon. Some weapons do hold up (imp, xeno, cell), but they are in the minority.

An AI rework would probably help most of these weapons more than a straight damage buff, or (some)Vanilla summons could ignore the Calamity damage penalty, so they could be used in multiclass playthroughs (like in Vanilla).

To simply put it, they add nothing of value to the Desert Scourge fight, as they are only a hazard while you're on the ground, which is already extremely hazardous due to the Scourge itself. Taking them out of the fight would make immediately refighting the boss a bit less tedious since the seekers tend to linger around after the fight and take awhile to fully clear out.

**Establish various Sunken Sea materials and items more into the game in various other areas**

The Sunken Sea is a modded biome added by Calamity with minor prevalence at the start of the game and Early HM, Providing with 3 new material types (Sea Prism, Prism Shards, and Mollusk Husks)

The issue with these materials is their very limited use:
Sea Prisms are used for a singular (and small in comparison to other areas) weapon tier and a potion, Sea Shards are used in conjecture to Sea Prisms, and Mollusk Husks are used for a grand total of 4 items (Prismalline and the Mollusk Armor) leaving them highly unused when compared to materials of the likes of Phantoplasm, Depth Cells, Stardust etc.

My suggestion is to scatter these items into more use throughout the game, to allow for more interesting Sunken Sea content and to give a bigger reason to revisit the Sunken Sea more often (and therefore, find the various Item Drops that are hidden from players, like the Eutropic Scimitar)

• Make EoW segments coiled because they can sometimes spawn on top of you due to the way they spawn and how long EoW is
• Add some reactive DR, tiers 1 and 2 feel like a pushover due to stuff simply dying too quickly even with a lack of damage investment
• Change BoC to not telefrag, telefrags are unfair as seen here (Andromeda hitbox does not matter, check where the dmg numbers are) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516928309058076672/901312542255747122/telefrag2.mp4

**make ranger ammo usage correlate with weapon use time**

Use of ammo is not usually an issue with ranger, but some weapons use more ammo than it seems they should. One particular instance that stands out to me is the Clock Gatlignum, which unlike it’s downgrade, clockwork assault rifle, has a chance to consume ammo every bullet fired, rather than every time the weapon is used. More instances of this are the Astral Bow, and the Astreal Defeat. Making this change would provide parity with vanilla weapons that fire in bursts in this way. I know this can be mitigated by using mods that provide infinite ammo, but it would benefit those that don’t use QoL mods.

Also, there should obviously be some exceptions to this proposed change, such as extremely slow weapons that fire multiple projectiles like Infinity.

Give Demonic Bone Ash to the Red Devil

Demonic Bone Ash is mainly used for Zerg potion. However, I feel I can not use this potion safely until after some Mech Bosses are defeated. Just do to the amount of enemies on the screen, most will be overwhelmed in pre-hardmode. So this had me thinking on why it isn't dropped by hard mode enemies as well? I run into the issue where when I want start using Zerg potion, I would need to have already farm a lot of the Ash before hand, or deal with normal demons spawn rate taken away by the hard mode versions of enemies.

I run into like one Armored Digger a playthrough, let alone farm it to find to get the 2-4 Demonic Bone Ash to drop. So that is defiantly out of the question. Bone Serpent feels like a rare spawn when you are in hardmode and Demon and it's Voodoo part basically gets replaced with the Red Devil, which does not drop Ash for some reason. Having Red Devil drop this ingredient would off set the swarm of slimes and bats I would normally see when using a Zerg potion in the underworld.

This can make average players like me, even in a group, take that problem boss and make it a huge wall that eats everything with no explanation other then we dont do enough damage.

...And guess what 'more damage' does, not much at all.

For those that don't know it, it leads a horrible thought pattern on the isolated player(s) level.

For average players it's just confusing trash. Imagine if you got tired of a boss and hyper farmed a damage build to shorten the fight as much as possible into a small stressful maybe more fun skirmish but you ended up seeing not much change despite what your dps should.

BUT it should still be an option, default on unless dictated by smarter, more experienced people otherwise.

*Make the Yanmei's Knife have a different sound effect on hit that fits it better.*

Yanmei's Knife is (in my opinion) a very satisfying thing to use because of its clean swing animation and the satisfaction of maneuvering around (even if you're a ranged class) to get in that valuable debuff/buff. However, the sound effect it produces on hit (being the same as the deathray/adrenaline sound effect) does not match the weapon at all. It doesn't match the swing sound effect and does not make sense for a quick knife slice to make the same sound on hit as a death ray/activating a powerup.

I suggest that on hit, it should be a clean slash sound effect that falls out into another sound implying its poison application (sort of like the Toxic Flask sound effect on hit being the breaking of the glass falling out into the gas sound). This would make it feel much more like a quick toxic slice you sneak in during the fight to land its good buffs/debuffs.

This is by no means an important change, but I feel like it would be a nice quality change that would make using Yanmei's Knife feel much better.

This is especially annoying for if you need an accessory like the anklet of the wind, or life crystals and you jus can't get it, OR craft it because you can't find or farm pinkies. Summoning item could use the slime crown, and be post king slime for balancing and anti-exploit purposes. I know gastropods drop them in hardmode, but that doesn't fix any pre-hardmode problems. King Slime can also spawn pinkiesm though it is very rare, and comes with the slime rain anyways. Slime rain could perhaps have a boosted chance for pinkies, though it is already better than king slime.

**Make iron heart have a chance for enemies and bosses to drop additonal hp pickups during fights**

Most of the player base does not use IH it due to how unappealing it is by its own. Currently the majority of the players only use the difficulty alongside Armageddon to abuse items that have effects under certain hp threshold during fights, or just to brag.
The difficulty pretty much encourages to min max (usually offensively) due to the overall lack of survivability, items that are usually a necessity are items with healing effects (lifesteal or direct) of which there aren’t many and are inconsistent making the player die extremely quickly specially where those effects are lacking. This overall limits the player too much unlike other difficulty modifiers and causes low setup variety. Overall (on my opinion) its very similar to Armageddon (but you can take few hits) due to the limitations it has.

Adding a way to consistently heal via health pickups would give a more reliable way to heal across the game, regardless of gear. By making enemies and bosses occasionally drop hearts during combat would provide a more consistent mean of healing for all classes regardless of difficulty and progression, rather than having to wait later until more reliable lifesteal/healing accs or going glass cannon. It would additionally make using items that work under certain % of health more intriguing and easier to use (being able to have their boosts for a while and then return to a safe hp amount for instance) as well as give more room for accessories that don't heal the player or do damage, as well as making more room for weapons without lifesteal, rather than centralizing the mode around items with it. It would overall make the mode more appealing to use on its own and to be more unique.

While these creatures aren't particularly useful on their own, their drops are needed to make the absorber, a powerful late hardmode accessory. This wouldn't be a problem, except that the spawn rates of these creatures are extremely low. While the giant shellys and crawdads are common in pre-hardmode, if you were unlucky and didn't get their drop (giant shell and craw carapace) before hardmode, it is a massive pain to farm for it due to their much lower spawn rates. The sea snail is unbelievably annoying to farm for in general, due to the spawns getting clogged by many other enemys, and ??? spawning (??? is extremely easy to accedentally kill in hardmode, and currently the only way to prevent it from spawning is the post leviathan lore, which doesn't work in multiplayer). My suggestion is to boost the giant shelly and crawdad spawn rates in hardmode, and heavily boost the sea snail spawn rate in general, to make the process of grinding for their drops less painful.

Adding an option to make them as transparent as the user wants them to be would not only solve the problem of the meters blocking the view, but would also make having them in the center of the screen a viable option

***Add a "Proficiency Farming" Potion***

My suggestion is to add a potion that makes farming Proficiency slightly easier. I know that the whole point of proficiency is supposed to be that basically "the more you use a weapon class, the stronger it will become" but sometimes I find myself lacking in proficiency in some classes, and then having higher proficiency in another... for example, I have done a run of prehardmode, for each class, Warrior, Mage, Ranger, Summoner, and Rogue, with a stat meter of the respective class each time, completely clean slate for each character, and I'd find myself getting higher summoner prof levels than for the rest of the classes... I'd easily get to at least level 5 for summoner, but then for the others, I'd be lucky to barely get to level 4 by the time I beat the Wall. I simply feel like the other classes just don't farm as easily as Summoner does (granted Summoner has always felt like a farming class to begin with) and I feel as tho, with how important Proficiency is to Calamity, there should be at least SOMETHING to make up for the imbalanced proficiency levels...

I'm not suggesting we get rid of Proficiency, nor am I suggesting an option to make proficiency grinding slightly faster, but at least add a potion that makes it slightly, at least SLIGHTLY easier to grind for proficiency. So my suggestion is a "Proficient Mastery" Potion, with relatively expensive pre-hardmode/early hardmode ingredients, so that way it's not as much of a chore to grind.

**Make Proficiency Actually Useful**

Proficiency is a very cool game mechanic, but is seems completely pointless. Proficiency almost never gives a significant enough damage boost to create a noticeable difference, so often times you say "Oh, cool" and then never look at it again. It seems like an incomplete and ineffective RPG thing that has no impact on the game other than its cool particles.

A change that would be good would either be increasing the amount of damage boost proficiency gives, or making it give additional effects, like maybe for ranger making all projectiles homing.

**Add an upgrade or two to the MOAB**

I absolutely loved using the MOAB during the pre-ML phase (especially with the unicorn mount). It was a great way to dodge bosses where wings might have failed, but I was shook to see that it has no upgrades. It’s unique enough in that it would not overlap much with other mobility options, so it would be cool to have an upgrade.

There is no reason to run it over the Seraph Tracers or the standalone wings simply because the MOAB doesn’t even get any more upgrades so it couldn’t compete with that level even if it wanted to.

I suggest it gets at least one post-ML upgrade. If we’re following the reference the MOAB makes (at least I’m pretty sure it’s making a reference), we can easily make the upgrade named the BFB and the one after that the ZOMG.

This of course depends on where the MOAB change lands it in progression (changelog says they made it acquired later in progression), but I doubt they made it post-ML so my suggestion still stands.

*Give Providence's Holy Ray attack a better visual indicator.*

While me and my friend were fighting Providence, I noticed that I was getting surprise swiped by Holy Rays super often because I couldn't tell when she was going to do them. I know there are indicators such as her slowing down and apparently the crystal in the middle of her sprite has some particle effects (I had to pull up a video to even see this, and I barely even noticed it there), but compared to the Moon Lord's deathray attack (where you can see the top eye open up and start charging), she does not give enough indicator before her Holy Ray attack.

I suggest that the visual indicator for her Holy Ray attack should be made more visible. Making the pink glow much brighter and making the pink charge-up particles more apparent would be a good and simple way to go about it.

I know this is not as much of a concern in singleplayer due to how the Holy Ray works, but it's a real pain to be weaving around her homing flames only to get clapped because she targeted a Holy Ray at my friend and the beam hits me in a fraction of a second.

**Add other ways to obtain proficiency stats**

Proficiency is an overlooked function that just gets thrown by just saying "oh i got a proficiency level. probably not gonna remember in the long run" So what i thought of was more ways to earn these specific stats that are optional for the player but still go out of their way to feel like proficiency is looked at. by either adding one station or multiple stations that train stats. This'd probably make proficiency feel more "oh hey im here too dont forget me" then just "oh i got a level. probably gonna forget about it later"

Just like fishing, terraforming is tedious. Would be a lot more enjoyable if i could have all that gear in one accessory, just like the fishermen do! Just combine what I mentioned (add a crafting recipe for the toolbox too) and some souls of light or dark so it's another reward for hardmode, and building the plantera arena won't be as much of a pain as it already is!

**Give the clentaminator an upgrade**

Cleaning out large parts of a world from being corrupted or hallowed, or even making an artificial one of these biomes is a large hassle mainly because the clentaminator is quite limited. A craftable upgrade to it that boosted its capabilities would make these tasks quicker and easier. This would especially be nice for those situations where a spreading biome is encroaching upon your home base, and no matter how many times you take the base clentaminator to it, it just won't go away. A more effective upgrade would make dealing with these invasions less of a chore.

As food-for-thought, ways in which the upgrade could potentially work: Doubling the range, increasing the width of the spray, maybe giving it a chance to not consume solution (this is pretty low priority though because the price of solution is lowered in calamity). This last one is a bit out-there, but maybe the upgrade could act as both a tool and a weapon.

Wormhole potions should be given I-frames as they don't fulfill their function well at all currently. Teleporters are a much preferred option due to the lack of being immediately damaged when wormholeing to your ally, especially with very aggressive bosses like Duke and PBG, and bosses with many projectiles with different trajectories like Aquatic Scourge or Calamitas that your teammate cannot accurately tell when it is safe to teleport over. Walking over to the boss takes valuable time and is a boring downtime in what should be a boss fight.

**Move the Biome Blade's biome/event effects to the sword itself**

Currently, this line of weapons is the kind that gives the player absolutely no incentive whatsoever to get close to whatever they're fighting, which as with many projectile swords doesn't correspond at all to what "melee" is supposed to be (e.g. close-range high-risk high-reward combat).

Making the biome/event-related effects, including the projectile changes, be applied only when the sword itself hits a target (rather than the projectiles) might help make the biome blade line less like pseudo-mage and more like actual melee, especially considering many other weapons on every tier fill in the former niche.

To compensate for the higher risk gameplay originating from this, some revisions may be warrranted such as for example:
-moving all the different biome-specific buffs and debuffs to a singular buff that carries over the same functionality
but can be rebalanced to the respective tiers
-giving the main sword more range
-increasing buff/debuff durations

Second, if the description is referencing the starcore, you always acquire the titan heart BEFORE the starcore, so saying it is "also used at the astral beacon" doesn't make much sense. It also doesn't contain any information about the item itself, eg. "The heart of a powerful astral creature." In all, the also does work, though it is unclear what it is referencing, and so I suggest that the description be changed to better fit it's use, make more sense, and / or give some information about the item.

I can't even leave a certain portion of the jungle because it's swamped with those minibosses. By the time I'm trying to get trapper bulbs for the extra life (post-Golem, often post-lunar events tbh), it's more of just a nuisance--albeit a large one--than it is an actual threat. I propose that battle/zerg pots have a less intense increase on the spawn rates of these minibosses relative to smaller enemies so that the jungle is still traversable when using these potions!

**Replace or rework the Wall of Flesh's laser projectiles**

The Wall of Flesh is an incredibly unique boss fight, practically unparalleled throughout the whole of both vanilla and Calamity. And yet, often the Wall ends up being tedious to fight despite its creative core concept.

I think that the worst offenders are both laser types fired by the Wall:
-The blue-purple lasers are released with little to no warning, travelling at such ridiculous velocities in such high quantities so that it's very hard to react in time to them. Consequently, avoiding them tends to be more of a tedious task than a rewarding experience
-The red lasers on the other hand travels slower, but are even spammier giving the player even less time and space to react. The results are similar if not more infuriating.

Overall, neither seem to have a positive impact on the fight, so I think they should either:

1. be replaced by slower projectile types
2. be replaced by more telegraphed types of projectiles
3. be given telegraphs themselves and given unique patterns and trajectories
   Perhaps with the lasers out of the way the Wall can truly begin to shine with all its creative potential

**Buff DoTs, but make them a more exclusive weapon property.**

DoTs (Damage-over-Time effects) are in an odd spot right now. They provide very little extra damage when on tier, but they’re slapped on almost every weapon in certain (mostly endgame) sets regardless of whether it makes sense (you can see this for yourself by surfing the calamity wiki and checking out the pages for the endgame weapons, or checking all of the weapons from certain bosses like PBG or DoG).

This creates an issue where weapons feel less unique while DoT-specialized weapons can’t be viable without applying a unique debuff of their own. The weapon type that gets hit by this the hardest is the flamethrower type because what should be a defining factor of them (DoTs) is instead just an insignificant afterthought that gets given to a lot other weapons anyways.

I suggest that DoTs be given a buff, whether that be simply a damage buff or the ability to stack multiple of the same DoT. However, in return, I suggest that the DoTs be removed from most of the weapons that they are currently on. Have DoTs only be on weapons if it makes absolute sense or is a part of the weapon’s identity. If the DoT is not a notable part of the weapon, that weapon shouldn’t have it.

This would pave the way for DoTs to be a more defined feature rather than just a source of extra damage that is slapped on any endgame weapon that breathes. The weapons that would retain their DoTs would be more unique and viable with their newly buffed DoTs. It also opens the avenue for more inclusion of effects or items that are based around DoTs (the Oiled effect from vanilla Terraria comes to mind).

**Change Adrenaline To Buff Its Defensive Component**

As Adrenaline basically requires the player to play flawlessly for 30 seconds straight, while experienced player can get it consistently, it is very hard for new/average players to get adrenaline at all unless real life adrenaline kicks in, and even then it might not help them unless the boss is at very low health already. Thus, it could be interesting that instead of just a purely dps boost, Adrenaline ALSO retain some of its defensive function during the activation to serve as a comeback mechanic for average players.

For example, Adrenaline can have its damage bonus and passive "damage mitigation" component adjusted but additionally granting the damage mitigation during its active duration (you still get damage boost). Adrenaline can also give a small burst of heal (maybe depend of current health) to serve as a respite as except for Regenator and Camper the regen gear and potions are relatively tame (especially considering some long duration dots from bosses, players can regen less than 100 hp throughout the 30 sec required to get Adrenliane with full regen gears and potion). This will make Adrenaline much more comeback oriented and something that the average player will attempt to do as a last resort instead of giving up knowing that they have no way to recover. The change in this direction will also make the passive damage mitigation component of permanent Adrenaline upgrades much more useful instead of just a compensation for losing Adrenaline.

On the other hand, to not feel like its defensive capability are wasted for experienced player, it can be made that Adrenaline grants its original/current version full damage bonus when on full life to retain its offensive purpose.

Saying "Sulfur sea" might give a hint and prevent avoiding spoilers. Additionally, the Abyss is something new players might completely miss so perhaps giving them a hint could be cool?

**Add Flavour Text to Fabsol's Vodka to Hint the Possibility of it Being an NPC Spawn Requirement**

Although the Drunk Princess is supposedly a "secret" or "easter-egg" character, the combat benefits the NPC give is substantial that it can cause a significant gaps in terms of stats for knowing or not knowing the NPC exist, especially for newer players who are not aware of the NPC existence.

The following factors contribute even more to the unlikeliness for new players to discover the NPC without using wiki:

1. Fabsol's Vodka stats do not look attractive as to even craft it at all (8% damage but -20 defense on plain wording looks like worse Wrath potion, immunity frame seems weak compare to defense loss)
2. The players might not have spare housing by the time they own a Fabsol's Vodka in their inventory
3. They might craft it in pre-Hardmode using blood orb, assume it does nothing and never try it again

Some flavour text on the item that the player can see when looking at Fabsol's Vodka recipe can definitely help them to get a hint for it being an NPC spawn requirement. It does not have to be very obvious, even vague description (like Guide's Voodoo Doll) such as "A sought after drinks by those who came from the dreamt land" will help significantly (someone else will definitely do a better job than me)

Me and my friends when we played Calamity mod ran into a problem where we couldn’t all craft a full set of tarragon armour since the world didn’t generate enough uelibloom ore and eventually had to cheat the armour in as we had no other choice. I think it would be a good idea to either make more boss ores such as uelibloom spawn more depending on how many players are in the game (more ore will spawn with more players) or make more ores spawn when defeating a boss you have already defeated again (more ore spawns after killing for example the Hive Mind after already defeating it) however the ore spawns slowly start decreasing depending on how many of the same bosses are killed (e.g. if you kill Cryogen three times less will spawn in than the third time) so no one can just fill a world with ores or make ores replace other ores as easy, maybe even put a cap on how many ores can spawn at once. I think this would be a great change as it would reduce the need for cheating and make the mod more multiplayer friendly.
Perhaps instead maybe make the ore slime either spawn more frequently or drop more or their respective ore or drop bars instead)

Reworking the item to give the dmg boost to all classes (although may need number tweaking) in addition to the current effects for the rest of the classes rather than just rogue getting the dmg boost would solve the problem and make it a decent item.

What I mean by this is that there could be a feature where if you fail a boss a certain amount of times (or you could make it so it does this if you beat a boss) it automatically spawns in phase 2 of the boss fight, for yharon it would probably have to be tweaked because his second phase starts with him being healed after his phase 1 fight, but for bosses like twins and plantera they could automatically spawn in second phase (in the example of plantera and twins they shouldn't spawn at half hp they should spawn at full hp just in their second phase). why? I thought of this idea because I figured it would add even more challenge to death mode since usually the second phase of bosses are harder, if you went the route to make it happen after defeating a boss it would make it so after the player defeats a boss it isn't a cake walk the second time around once they get new and better weapons.

**Rename the "Boss Effect" Debuff**

It's quite a bland and technical name. While it does makes more sense than Boss Zen, it's still not a good name, in my opinion, so that's why I am suggesting a name change.

Something like "Imposing Presence". "The Boss is keeping other enemies away with it's mighty aura". Or something along these lines.

It's a pretty simple change, and I feel like it would be welcomed to make this debuff, that you see with every Boss, much more memorable and intimidating, definetly fitting for a creature that is called a Boss

**Make rage and adrenaline upgrade icons toggle-able**

It is a bit off that you see these icons active all the time. Sure they may be useful, but some may prefer the whole look of the bars themselves. It is similar to where bosses can display debuff icons and you have the option to disable them. Making it a config option where you can toggle them or not would be a great cosmetic change. Another way is making them visible via opening your inventory similar to the difficulty indicator.
Since you can change how much the meters shake, doing this would make them more customisable.

Let players toggle player speed boosts added in recent update

The latest update massively buffed player speed when moving, building and mining. I believe this was done to speed up the early game, but I think it should be toggle-able in the config menu. My reason being that it messes with the base game progression and makes some early game progress (Such as finding hermes boots or crafting better pickaxes) less impactful and satisfying. It also makes moving around buildings or bases more awkward because its easy to accidentally speed past something you want to interact with. Making it a toggle would let some players speed past early game quickly while ignoring progression, but allow other players to keep the base game progression stable.

**Make the shrooms spawned by Mycroroot's stealth strike more aggressive.**

Despite its seemingly good potential damage per use, Mycroroot's potential on its stealth strike seems to be split apart between the actual weapon hits and the shrooms it spawned. Doesn't help that the shrooms spawned take way too long to start chasing onto enemies, and their movement is so slow that some enemies or most bosses can just outrun the shrooms before they expire.

Changing the behavior of these shrooms to be way more aggressive (e.g. shortened delay before they start homing, or increased projectile speed) would make the weapon more reliable to use on its stealth strike.

The title basically explains the change. This is a problem because when gaining high ground on Crabulon, he can do this attack and instantly kill you with no way to dodge it (like telefragging). Another thing that can happen is that the shrooms can spawn below the player, completely trivializing the attack. A better way to go about this is to set the spawn of the shroom wall fixed on the player's position and not the boss's.

**Add an option that makes "Malice Mode" optional again, as many items necessary for players less good at dodging are now locked behind it, OR introduce "Adrenaline" and "Rage" to lower difficulties.**

First off: Great mod. I have enjoyed what time I spent in it over the years. However, one of the most laudable things about it has always been that all drops that weren't cosmetic could be acquired in "Revengeance Mode", a difficulty that even casual players can enjoy, given enough time and preperation.
Death Mode only featured pets and little silly items that were not relevant for progression.
Now, its successor, Malice Mode, is necessary for acquiring basic gear like the "Counter Scarf" or the "Crown Jewel".
While this is a good challenge for the very good players who could beat "Death Mode", this change leaves many more casual players, as well as those with worse reaction times, out in the rain.
The mods best new core mechanics, such as "Adrenaline" and "Rage", are now locked away from players such as me. There are players who only just barely managed to beat "Revengeance" through tools such as the "Counter Scarf". Locking this gear into "Malice Mode" means they can no longer acquire the gear that made it possible for them to beat "Revengeance" in the first place. If they want to play the mod now, they either can't access the "Adrenaline" and "Rage" mechanics, or they have to try and make do with what little "Revengeance Mode" still offers them in terms of survivability tools.

**Add a new independent accessory that allows you to moonwalk while attacking with any weapon.**

While not entirely useful for other classes, the ability to moonwalk (moving around while facing the same direction) is incredibly useful for true melee, and with all broadswords/shortswords being autoswing, the potential for an accessory that allows you to universally moonwalk while attacking is definitely there.

I suggest that there be a new independent (separate from other accessory trees) accessory that simply lets you moonwalk while attacking with any weapon. It could be craftable in late pre-HM, but it could be put anywhere pre-HM.

With this, true melee players can sacrifice an accessory slot in exchange for the ability to kite bosses much more easily, while those who don't care can just run a normal melee accessory instead for more DPS. It's a worthy tradeoff that allows for some more build diversity.

**Give the Regenator an extra effect that decreases the delay between receiving damage and regenerating health depending on how low the player's health % is.**

The Regenator is a unique accessory that rewards avoiding successive hits with some really good sustain. However, it's not as good as this as it should be due to the massive delay there is between taking a hit and health regen kicking in. This makes it not give enough reward to really be worth using, and this minimal potential reward it provides is not worth the accessory slot it takes up.

I suggest that it gets an extra effect alongside its health regeneration increase that decreases the delay between receiving damage and regenerating health depending on how low the player's health % is.

This not only stays loyal to the general ideas of the reference (The item it's referencing gives more health regen depending on how low the shield % is), but it's exactly what the Regenator needs to make the reward of utilizing its niche worth the accessory slot.

**Move the Mecha Mayhem part of the Exo Mech closer to the latter half of the fight instead of having it be extremely early in the fight**

Having the Exo Mech gank you all at once at the start of the fight makes the fight feel far too chaotic and makes it incredibly frustrating to try to learn. Adjusting the difficulty to be closer to the back half of the fight instead of having the fight start out at full blast. Just as a rough example: Have Draedon summon the boss you choose, then the first boss despawns at 75-80% and he spawns a different boss, then do the same for the final boss, then after you get all 3 down, Draedon goes "Alright, time for the true field test. After all, these units were designed to be a synergistic onslaught" and summons all of them at once. Basically, instead of the mech count being 1 > 2 > 3, the mech counts becomes 1 >1 > 1 > 3. Then, each mech can go into their extended phase 2 moveset at around 50% HP. This gives the player a chance to fight each boss individually a lot more and helps in learning each mechs' patterns before having all of them go off all at once.

**Make vanilla hooks to be faster, and have more reach**

They feel clunky, they are sometimes a detriment to use, and they lack range. Comparing this to the early hardmode hook in calamity you can get as soon as you enter hardmode, Serpent's Bite, which is better than every pre moon lord vanilla hook out there due to its high velocity, and good reach. Vanilla hooks often go to slowly, which results in bosses being able to hit you with contact or projectiles even if you hook well since most of them can turn around like destroyer, astreum deus, or duke fishron, or you will be hit by many projectiles due to the slow movement of the hook. They also lack range as comparing something like vanilla hooks they lack speed but they don't even have much range to compensate for it such as anti-gravity hook only has 3.125 tiles of reach than Serpent's Bite which is not a lot considering it has 3 velocity points lower than it. They just feel clunky compared to the wide superior movement options with wings, and dashes as they are to slow to use compared to other options, and even the one or two non calamity hooks that are viable that is still out of the many that are currently unviable and sitting in the garbage or chests of a player.

This issue only gets worse with low resolution computers, as they don't have the screen space to see them spawning or coming towards their way.

They can also usually ambush you in ways that almost feel scummy, however, I do appreaciate how this gives a feeling of them working together.

It was questionable that the Summoner got +2 minions at proficiency level 15 (max level), but I felt as though that was fair since you had leveled up to the max level with it. However, +2 minions does feel like a lot from leveling up something random, instead, +1 at the max level would provide this "unique" class proficiency bonus, but would not give a questionable raise in minion amount.

The Forbidden Armor is kind of wonky with how summons work in that: "All attacks labeled as summon will deal 50% less damage if the player is holding a weapon belonging to a different class." So if your playing as a mage the set isn't that great as the extra minions are dealing less damage, So part of the set is kinda inhibiting for damage output for mage's, not to mention the set isn't obtainable until after Mech-Bosses now with Draedon update, which I feel the armor is not good enough for the stage of progression you now get it.

SO I propose making two helmets, 1 for Summoner and 1 for Magic, and Changing the armor stat bonuses to be the same as 1.4 Vanilla Terraria's stats, except moving the extra minions to the new summoner varient of the helm of course. This would be a good balance for it's new progression stage and would allow for further optimization for Mage's and Summoner's to increase their damage potential

**Allow Seafood to be crafted earlier in the game.**

❔
As Calamity's push for nonlinearity continues to make things more and more accessible (with the new update even having made Exotic Pheromones and therefore the Jungle Dragon Egg obtainable pre-ML due to the former no longer requiring Luminite and both being crafted at an Ancient Manipulator), the Aquatic Scourge has always been something of an outlier; it is able to spawn naturally, with an item even being present in the game to prevent it from doing so basically from the moment you start, yet its summon item has always been locked behind Hardmode. Given how rare the Aquatic Scourge's natural spawn actually is, this makes it disproportionately tedious to attempt to do the boss prior to its intended progression point, and acts in direct defiance of Calamity's nonstop push towards letting you do what you want, when you want to do it. Allowing the Scourge's summon item to be crafted earlier on would alleviate this issue and allow people to more effectively take on AS whenever they feel ready.

As it stands right now, the way the boss alts are fought in progression are fixed due to the early HM rework changes. Cryogen stays the same, Aquatic Scourge's spawner now requires Mythril / Orichalcum Anvil to be made (which is post 1 mech), and Brimmy's spawner (or rather, Unholy Core that is part of its materials) requires Adamantite / Titanium Forge to be made (which is post 2 mechs). This makes the freedom in boss choice at this point of progression a bit more limited.

Back in the days of Cal 1.4, Scal’s damage was acceptable because Auric’s two revive abilities made that damage easier to bear. However, with the removal of the Silva revive from half the classes and the complete removal of God Slayer revive, even tanky melee builds die in 2-3 hits to her, which is kind of ridiculous, especially considering her attacks already deal significant Defense Damage.

I understand she is intended to be punishing, but the majority of her attacks do 600+ damage per hit on top of defense damage and debuffs, which takes it a step too far in my opinion.

**Buff Hive Mind's speed on attacks in malice mode**

Compared to the perforator, hive mind is pretty tame and a little less complicated when it comes to how the boss fight plays out. I would just suggest that in malice mode the slow down after the spin for the circle attack doesn't happen and instead instantly goes into the drift where it heads towards the player, this would include slowdowns for the semi circle attack and the nimbus cloud one. It would mean less time to react and a little less jankiness. In general the hive mind should just be a bit faster than what it is now.

**Make || Ares Laser || Account For Player's Fall and Horizontal Speed || (Most Notably Solo Phase) ||**

The title specifically referencing the || horizontal and vertical lasers || , currently the optimal strategy to dodge the attack is by simply falling or moving at extremely high horizontal speed and the attack will always fall behind (that the attack will not even be in the screen as long as you don't go in the wrong direction). This often causes the attack to miss completely and trivialize the attack which is supposed to be one of the biggest limiting factor of the fight (in that it is supposed to be intercepting movement) considering how the other three attacks is dodgeable with straight-line movement and this is the only one that is supposed to stop that.

Making it accounting for the player's current fall and horizontal speed || especially during its solo phase as currently Ares feels the weakest in its solo phase|| when the attack is initiated will make sure that the attack will actually matter in the fight

**Buff Gauss Pistol's functions**

Gauss Pistol is the tier 2 draedon weapon for mage, and it has a similar firing mechanism to Demon Scythe, sending out a shot that waits for a moment before speeding off. Unlike Demon Scythe, Gauss Pistol's damage is fairly average for it's tier, and the "devastatingly high velocity" it claims to have is very easily matched by other weapons such as Demonic Pitchfork. This, combined with a complete lack of pierce and difficult to hit nature, leads the weapon to feeling very difficult to use with very little benefit for using it.

Buffing the shot speed dramatically and improving the damage or pierce of the weapon would go a ways to make it more appealing to use overall in comparison to other options such as Demonic Pitchfork or Wyvern's Call.

**Give ||Ares|| More Telegraphing**

From my personal experience with the ||Exo Mech|| fight, it's incredibly frustrating to have to be dealing with all the chaos and then get hit by an insane 200-300 dmg attack that you can't focus on. Like most of the time I have to pay attention to where ||Thanatos|| is blocking off and what projectiles ||Apollo|| are firing, so I can hardly pay attention to ||Ares||, especially with his lack of telegraphing compared to the other three.

It's not a nerf or buff, but it's just there to make the fight more fair compared to how it is now.

**Add a sound effect indicating that you are too far from Providence**

Darkness was a good indicator of being far away but in exchange it was taking your vision. Flames, a new indicator, at least make sense logically but they are not that visible. Since darkness (my beloved) will never be returned back, and flame is not really a good indicator, why not add a sound to it? Something that tells you "You are burning"

After thinking about it I finally came up with an example: a sound of burning fire getting louder the further you are in exchange of music volume (i don't think that it would be possible to make sounds more quiet). Again, just an example, nothing more

Also flames would be a cool vanity in a form of a dye or something similar

**Give Elemental Quiver Some Unique Effect/s**

Currently as the Draedon update removed the projectile split from it, Elemental Quiver can be considered quite weak compared to other post-DoG accessories of other classes, comparatively: Elemental Gauntlet (inflict more debuff), Nanotech (inherit all unique effects), Eclipse Mirror (inherit all unique effects), Ethereal Talisman (inherit effect + Mana flower a generally useful effect), Nucleogenesis (unconditional best in slot because you can no longer stack minion slot + debuff)

While Ranger do get a certain new accessory, Elemental Quiver by itself is not a huge upgrade compare to its material Artemis Emblem by only 5% increase Ranged damage (considering the gap between post-Plantera and post-DoG), while it does not even inherit the Arrow Damage from Magic Quiver and more than half of Ranged arsenal are non-Bows

Giving it a new additional effect (that is not projectile split) will make the accessory much more interesting than just +5% increase ranged damage upgrade. The following are some example ideas from me (with no numbers): 1) Increase point blank damage (as the mechanic is very hard to use it will not be a major balance issue); 2) Increase Arrow travel distance (Magic quiver inherit speed only increase projectile speed itself but distance stay the same); or to 3) Apply some form of unique debuff or similar to Ele Gauntlet to Ranged projectile

Though the staff itself actually is within reason in terms of DPS, when paired with armored penetration-reducing gear (specifically the Sharktooth Necklace), it becomes overbearingly strong. Using the proper gear, it can do upwards of 300 DPS pre boss (just as an example of how much Sharktooth breaks this weapon, it brings damage against harpies from 3 to 8). It also far surpasses later staves in DPS, including the Vile Feeder and Scab Ripper, which are both obtained after the evil bosses.This weapon could potentially be nerfed by reducing the effectiveness of armor penetration on its damage.

This suggestion is for the Calamity Music Mod. I feel like the rebirth version of "Infernal Catharsis" was pretty much forgotten.

Sadly for his theme, it's old version plays while fighting Yharon instead of the new one

** Make Worm Bosses Spawn Better**

what i mean in this is that worm bosses (like destroyer and DoG) have 99.9% dr for some time right after they spawn so u cant shred the segments that are stacked on each other. However, the boss can still attack you during this time period, so its basically getting cheap hits in. A way to fix this could be to just spawn the worm head in, and then spawn the segments incrementally after the head, so you dont get this messy jumble of segments. This will make it so that the boss doesnt get cheap hits, and the player cant just spawnkill cheese it either. Another benefit of this is the "animation" will look smoother, like destroyer will look like hes coming out of the ground and DoG will look like hes coming out of a portal.

**Increase the Number of Items that Provide Heat Protection**

In deathmode, cold protection is required to go into a blizzard or space at night, and heat protection to go into the underworld or space during day. Cold protection is all well and good, as campfires, warmth potions, hand warmers, or eskimo armor will provide it, all of which are obtainable fairly easily early on. Heat protection, however, has only four items that can be obtained pre-boss (without requiring you to go into hell to begin with): the frost barrier (travelling merchant RNG), obsidian armor (lava level, knowledge that you can blow up obsidian, and also requires your armor slots), obsidian skin potions (also require obsidian as well as fireblossom, which can only be found through herb bags outside of the underworld), and the lava charm (requires lava buckets and obsidian or a lucky chest drop on the lava level of the underground). Compared to a campfire, which needs nothing more than some wood and torches, heat protection is vastly more difficult to obtain despite being arguably more important, and trying to get it can feel frustrating when you can't access two fairly important areas.

**Buff The Absorber/Nerf Ambrosial Ampoule**

the Ampoule is a much early tier accessory and it provides 6 defense, 7% damage reduction, increased life regen(+2), light and immunity to debuffs such as chilled, frozen and frostburn whereas the Absorber is a much later tier accessory that can be crafted post cultist and it provides 10 defense, 5% boost to movement and jump speed, standing still boosts life and mana regen, [increased defense,movement speed ** when submerged in liquid**], damage reduction+20 max life and mana, 10% damage reduction and the ability to convert 5% of enemy damage into healing.

Based on the raw stats, it seems absorber wins out however I beg to differ because the Absorber does not have passive increased life regen like the Ampoule has; and in a realistic scenario, you never want to stay still just for increased life and mana regen - same thing with submerging yourself in liquid for the additional buffs you could squeeze out from the Absorber. Another feature that makes the Ampoule better is the immunity to the 3 debuffs listed, because some enemies or bosses like cultist can give you the frozen debuff where you just turn into ice and cant move or attack, that being said the ampoule is overall a much better option compared to the Absorber even at the same tier.

The Absorber could say, inherit the Ampoule’s immunity to debuffs and have the same passive life regen but other things between the two may have to be rebalanced as well.

Now that they no longer have any connection to the Blue Cultists, it doesn't make much sense for them to drop the item that spawns the Blue Cultist boss.

Instead, the Eidolon Tablet could be craftable, or it could drop from some other enemy that actually does spawn in the dungeon. No matter how you actually obtain it, though, there should be some connection to the Dungeon or the Blue Cultists.

This is because it simply does not do enough damage compared to bows of the same tier like the Alluvion. And considering how it also takes a long time just for it to charge to get to its highest damage, I think the Ultima should be buffed in terms of damage, its speed is already blisteringly fast but its damage is laughably low. To add to this, the Ultima also requires the Pulse Bow, a rare-to-find item because of the RNG required to get an item from the Traveling Merchant. So buff its damage and also the sparks it creates - it takes 5 seconds for a 16% chance for a 33% damage spark to spawn, that is way too low.

**Less bullet-hell Draedon fight**

What does this mean? Well, this means to make the Draedon fight less spammy in terms of projectiles. It is unbelievably difficult to avoid all the projects without a world-sized arena or having to adapt for hours on end. Yes, there are telegraphs like lines that appear but this is flawed for multiple reasons:
1 - Telegraphs are incredibly short - fractions of a second before they fire
2 - Telegraphs are hard to see - it is usually a line that is a couple of pixels wide
3 - It is hard to see who is being telegraphed - is it Ares? Artemis? Apollo? Who knows.
Draedon has become so difficult that I would consider it harder than SCal because SCal's bullet hells were easily telegraphed or maneuverable (don't forget the balance changes, too! Draedon's machines now have way more HP than SCal herself!)
So I think they should rework the telegraphs so they are a bit slower for the eye to adjust and see the telegraph. And secondly, the attacks should be toned down. There should still be the attacks but in shorter frequency. Don't get me wrong - bullet hells are fun until they are brutally difficult to dodge through. Even in the lower difficulties, the attacks are still just as spammy and fast-paced, and while they may not do as much damage, they are still very fast and very difficult to dodge. Draedon feels like its difficulty is forced with its fast-paced attacks and punishing amounts of damage, even playing on Revengeance, Expert, or Normal it feels like a Death Mode boss. Expert bosses should feel like expert bosses, so why not Draedon?

**Swap God Slayer And Tarragon Melee Helm's Ability**

One of the most challenging bosses to beat right now with true melee is Yharon. The amount of contact damage he does is extremely high compared to that of his projectiles. This works well for the other classes, since you should be avoiding Yharon at all costs. But true melee requires you to get in close, and its almost impossible to survive more than two hits of contact damage (if you're VERY lucky you can tank 3). I propose swapping the God Slayer melee helm's contact damage reflection and the Tarragon melee helm's 10 second contact damage reduction. Tarragon is really only used to fight Polterghast, whos contact damage is very similar to his projectile damage. Polterghast's movement patterns are much more fluid and easy to predict, enabling you to fly beside him and land many true melee strikes. With Yharon, it's quite the opposite. His dashes are much too fast to fly along side of him, and whenever he stands still he blasts out dozens of fireballs. It makes much more sense to give contact damage reduction to the armor set designed to fight the boss with the abnormally high contact damage.

**Make the tracking of Kelvin Catalyst's stealth strike a lot more adaptive.**

As it stands currently, Kelvin Catalyst's stealth strike effect is that the disk briefly starts homing to nearby enemies when it either reaches maximum throw range or after hitting a solid tile.

While the stealth strike is somewhat effective on hordes, the overall velocity of the disk is too low to make its homing keep up with most bosses, with the only exception observed so far being Astrum Aureus, due to its already massive set of hitboxes.

Having the stealth strike homing "adapt" the disk's velocity depending on the target would make the stealth strike overall a lot more reliable and useful, considering the amount of grind you need to do to make it. It'd also line up with its tooltip better, being that the stealth strike makes the disk "sentient", thus a degree of adaptiveness would help signifying that.

**Rework Plantera more fightable in a smaller arena**

Currently, fighting Plantera requires a very big arena due to second phase, spike balls, and spore clouds, however; a big arena causes Plantera to also enrage, adding more tedium on top of tedium as the Picksaw isn't obtained yet so jungle grass seeds(which are pain) are required.

How this might be reworked is up the developers but the current state of spore clouds are simply arena checks. A long arena makes the effect of spore clouds disappear and they simply punish the player for not making a gigantic arena. Some options may be to have spore clouds home on the player(similar to SCAL's moons) or to simply remove them.

Phase 2 tentacles are also very problematic as they create a massive hitbox surrounding Plantera. Having them not move(or rotate) in a star would allow dodging and weaving through them much easier and even possible to go in-between the tentacles and Plantera(if they have a large radius) or simply around them(if they have a small radius).

Spike balls can just be removed as they are 100% nullified if you have a liquid underneath you or have a big arena.

Due to all the factors above, the fight forces you to work with larger arena's which can be very tedious to make at this tier due to circumstances. Reworking the fight to make Plantera work better with smaller arena's might make the fight somewhat less tedious to tackle.

**Add an Astral Underground-Exclusive Herb and use it to make this biome more memorable**

Currently, the Astral Underground has very little content to offer, and there's very few incentives to visit it at all. While the biome in its current state is bound to get reworked, it may be a long time before that actually happens and in the meantime the astral UG will stay in the same forgettable state as it currently is in.

A short-term, easy-to-implement solution could be to add a herb exclusively to the underground portion of the Astral Infection, and then incorporate it in various astral infection-themed crafting recipes. As expected, this would give the player a clear reason to venture into this biome.

However, giving this herb unique gameplay interactions could also make exploring this biome a more unique and engaging experience, while still providing an easy-to-implement placeholder solution while the rework is underway.

Perhaps turning the herb into some form of player hazard while still keeping it as a material source could be a way to go about it. Such a thing could make the Astral Underground a more unique explorative experience without too much development effort (considering herbs are incredibly easy to sprite and generation code can just be modified from vanilla) while the full biome rework is still underway

Since there's only one bug chat it gets filled up really quickly and a lot of bugs go unread. Adding more chats for bugs would help filter the content and make it easier to find bugs. Maybe add something like "bugs-discussion", "bugs-reporting" and "current-bugs". People could ask for a fix on a minor bug (such as not music not playing). If nobody could find a solution they could put it in the report area where it would be reported and sent for a review. Maybe there could be a poll system somewhere to ask if there are other people having the same problem too? Then it would go to the current bugs section so people can see if their bug has been posted and reviewed already, and to see if it's marked as fixed. This could kind of work like the suggestion system. Report a bug--> go to the discussion to see how you can elaborate or find a fix (if there is a fix delete it) --> the bug gets put to a poll system to see how many people are having the same problem (maybe to determine urgency)--> once it's posted in the current bug section there could be a list of fixes/something saying that it's been fixed

**Implement a better summoning method for rematching Skeletron**

Skeletron's current rematch summon is super clunky as you need to:

Get a Clothier Voodoo Doll (Rare drop from dungeon mobs or crafted with Red Hat and Guide Voodoo Doll)
Build a house where you intend to refight Skeletron then relocate Clothier there
Equip the voodoo doll and kill Clothier, then unequip the doll quickly to refight skeletron properly
Wait for Clothier to respawn if you die.

This summoning method used to be fine because you didn't have incentive to rematch Skeletron anyway. However Malice Mode is a thing now and Skeletron has a malice drop. Seeing as Malice is intended for rematches and expects a lot of death, this summoning method is now too clunky. Thus Calamity should implement a more convenient Skeletron summon to make rematches much less of a hassle.

**Buff Gravistar Sabaton.**

Gravistar Sabaton is still a weak accessory for what it's supposed to do. A hard limit on the fall speed still makes it vastly inferior to the Slimy Saddle and similar fall speed mounts while requiring an accessory slot, something that's practically very important in comparison to mount slots. Buffing Gravistar Sabaton would hopefully make it worth using as either a sidegrade of boots around the tier (like Angel Treads), or just as a standalone accessory.

Some changes that can be proposed:

• Increased running acceleration, just like most other boots. As mentioned before, this would help making it somewhat of a sidegrade of Angel Treads, focusing more on downwards mobility instead of upwards.
• Explosion proccing on landing on platforms instead of just solid tiles. This would help proccing the explosion a lot more reliable, which is half of the acc's gimmick.
• Removing the cooldown on fall speed entirely. This is what makes Gravistar Sabaton so weak, primarily why people won't ever take it over slime mounts. Removing the cooldown the fall speed would also reduce the amount of aspects of the accessory that require a cooldown to just the explosion, making the accessory less confusing and more reliable.

**Move some items from Malice mode back to Revengence mode**

While the idea of Malice mode (Fight heavily buffed bosses in exchange for cool loot) is sound, I feel that moving almost all the Revengence drops to Malice mode was going too far. The mode certainly fit for items like Yharim's Crystal, Teardrop Cleaver, and other unique and powerful items. It doesn't fit so well for Items like the Crown Jewel, Clothiers wrath, and other items that aren't as flashy. These items mostly owe their strength to abnormally high stats, rather than powerful abilities. These items fit much better in their old space as rare drops (Albeit with lesser stats, and possibly slightly higher drop rates), rather than as rewards for extra-hard bosses

Also, it just doesn't make sense that a pre mech boss, summons ore, that isn't minable until post mech, that's be like aerialite requiring slime gods to be dead. Also, by the time you get through the first two mechs you now have access to good armor and weapons since you have souls and all the ores, so why even use cryonic.

As she is now, she's able to dash at you at what feels like the precise instant the final bullet hell ends, which can be extremely hard to react to due to the projectiles you were paying attention to beforehand as well as her ending the phase very close to you; this often leads to taking at least one nearly unavoidable hit. Giving her a ~1 second delay before she initiates her rapid dash chain after the last bullet hell would make the last phase feel much more fair.

**Disable Rod of Discord during bossfights**

RoD over the years has been a near-essential tool since it’s release in base terraria, giving the player the ability to teleport anywhere on screen, but in calamity this tool has been used as a dodging tool more than anything else. It’s capability to get you out of tough situations surpasses nearly every movement tool and accessory in the game, despite exclusively being a cooldown. Having this luxury has slowly impacted the META of movement to a point where bosses themselves are being buffed to a point where RoD or other unrealistic movement options such as slanted platforms providing free-fall are near-essentials to fight bosses reliably. I’m also not referring to malice. RoD in 1.5 has been assigned to an NPC rather a crafting recipie for 24 platinum in a certain biome. It’s clear enough that devs are aware of it’s strength, otherwise RoD being crafted wouldn’t vanish and it wouldn’t be tedious. Preventing RoD use in bossfights would be a good step towards making fights more consistent and less “run and pray”. Additionally a teleport can be assigned to accessories, however the strength of this item won’t be shut down because of it’s lack of accessibility. And leaving it available will only allow for the difficulty curve of boss AI to be more dominant without its use.

**Make Ares' arms glow brighter before they fire**

Ares' arms currently do have a visual telegraph where they light up, but it's so faint that it's very hard to see even if you're only paying attention to them (particularly since they already glow), much less in the middle of the chaotic boss fight. This makes it so that you generally have to rely on internalizing Ares' attack timers rather than reading their attack telegraphs, which is somewhat inconsistent when compared to the other Exos. Making them glow or flash noticeably in their respective colors for a brief moment before attacking (like how Thanatos' head produces a white glow when firing its laser) would give you both options of internalizing their attack timers and reacting to the telegraphs, as well as make it very clear which arms are about to start attacking.

I suggest making her actually use the spear in the battle. She could either throw it at us, or make it fire a projectile. This would add purpose to the spear in her sprite. It would also add flavor to the Atlantis weapon, as one could think that it's a weapon their enemy once wielded against them in combat.

And considering the fact that your only other viable option to beat the exo mechs / supreme cal is the final dawn, your pretty much screwed as a rogue player. What I'm suggesting to fix this is to lower the projectile amount and increase the damage so then it equals out that way you can still have the same damage except now you can actually see things on the screen.

As it is, Calamity seems to add the most variety of flareguns of most quality mods I've seen. I think this could be taken a bit further -- with ammo as well. and perhaps even endless versions of the ammo for hardmode. Flareguns can be the catch all for not gravity-effected, small-explosion (ie, they have a 'pop' on impact that can affect a few very nearby enemies), light-producing micro-grenades that use ammo and cause any myriad amount of effects, and not so extreme gravity effects, unlike arrows. For example, why can't I have a Frostburn flare without installing the Champion mod (which is no longer being updated!), for example? These effects could be split between a variety of guns and ammo. (For example, if you want a full auto shotgun that shoots some sort of fin-stabilized micro-grenades like on Future Weapons and a bunch of video games that stole the idea from Future Weapons, or, you know. a 40k Bolter, it should probably be flaregun based rather than normal bullet based!)

**Fix Luminous Striker stealth strike and make Star of Destruction detonate sooner.**

At the moment these two weapons feel extremely clunky to use. Luminous Striker doesn’t make the homing projectiles if you stealth strike until it is well off-screen from the player, fixing this would make the weapon fit the new, burst stealth oriented class style. I initially believed stealth strikes didn’t make the projectiles at all and only found out they did by placing a dummy far away and flying alongside the weapon until I saw the projectiles home in.

Star of Destruction has a very similar issue. It doesn’t explode into its homing projectiles until it is extremely far away from the player, and as I noticed when attempting to use it against the pillars, by the time it does you are either dead or far away from the area you initially threw it(and even further from the area it is detonating in since you probably flew in the other direction). This makes it completely unusable for a class that lives or dies on the responsiveness and instant screen-cleaning power of well timed attacks.

Due to Quick now giving 8% speed, you are able to outrun bosses much more easily than before, and pre-hardmode bosses tend to despawn more easily than hardmode bosses because of wings not being available for most of that part of the game. As an example, with a full movement speed build (before wall of flesh) you can achieve speeds of ~110mph using sandstorm in a bottle, and skeletron is not very fast (even on malice), and can occasionally teleport further away from you in higher difficulties. This leads to very easy despawns for Skeletron (3 times personally), and Crabulon (once). I don't know if this is mostly a personal problem, though.

**Change the Permanent Health Upgrades to Require Herbs Instead of Dye Plants**

Although it is arguable whether the player will almost always has possession of the dye plants by the time they can craft the permanent health upgrades, it is often made by the assumption that the player know these upgrades exist beforehand. For new/unaware players, dye plants are often the first thing they trashed away when they have a full inventory. This makes finding dye plants later for the upgrade extremely tedium considering they are spread across multiple biomes (and somewhat rare when you are actively looking for them) while do not have any progression impact other than time requirement.

Changing the dye plants requirement to just standard herbs (maybe mass amount of it like 20-40 considering herbs are more common) will give more incentive for herb farms considering that currently as potions are purchasable herbs farms seen significantly lesser utility. Having them being requirement for permanent health upgrades will give them a new purpose in addition to simply time saving.

**Buff Calamitas Clone**

The rework is great, however some aspects of the fight are very underwhelming. Its dashes barely poses a threat and are really easy to avoid as it doesn't dash that far. Its desperation phase (after the final bullet hell) also faces the same issue where it dashes continuously but are really easy to dodge. Buffing it’s dash by maybe buffing its speed and dashing further away, will make the fight more exciting (Or simply give it back its predictive dash excluding the desperation phase). Perhaps letting it shoot projectiles in its desperation phase would make it seem like its trying its best to kill you.

**make the sprite of EXO-meches use separate files like "Ares_Mouth, Ares_Pipes, Ares_Light" instead of putting a texture including 90 frames.**

Ares' body enjoys a texture with 90 frames, while it only does simple animations like mouth-opening, light-shining. use only one file for the not-acting part, and another file which only contains the mouth, like how texture of moon lord's mouth works. doing so would greatly reduces how much space the texture occupies.
calamity mod now occupies more than 1GB tmodloader space and 950MB of which is textures.
many of the textures are unreasonably using too much frames, and I think separate them would solve the problem.

**Remove the stealth limitation of requiring a full-set armor, and spread bits of +max stealth on armor sets to some of their pieces.**

Right now stealth needs to be accessed by having a full-set rogue armor to be used. This quite limits the amount of armor potential the class can use for stealth gameplay, as they can't really experiment with different pieces and need to stick with sets in order to be able to use stealth rogue in the first place.

Having the mechanic not limited to full-set armors and be accessible just from having any amount of stealth available would give players significantly more freedom in tinkering their armor loadout in playthroughs. Spreading a bit of +max stealth from set bonuses to pieces would also help accommodate this goal in particular.

As for the stealth description, which is currently tied to full-set armor, the whole thing can be simplified and applied to rogue weapons when they have any amount of stealth, relatively similar to Point-Blank tooltips on ranged weapons.

**Nerf Frequency Manipulator's Stealth Strike, or Frequency Manipulator altogether**

For a weapon that is obtainable right after killing The Twins as your first mech boss, this weapon is extremely strong for a long time. Even now in my own playthrough, I'm very consistently chunking entire tenths of Golem's healthbar with every stealth strike from this weapon. To make matters worse, it's extremely hard to move onto any later weapons that are meant to be "stronger", because of how easy FreqMani is to land, due to it's aggressive homing. You can miss a stealth strike with this weapon, and still consistently deal more damage than Terradisk or Auroradical Throw, which are on-tier with Golem.

**Rework/Fix/Nerf Destroyer in Death Mode and Revengence**

I find that destroyers lasers are way too spammy. Half of the time they’re unavoidable and mixed in with the huge size is way too overwhelming. Even with a good damage output he’s still a pain and the debuffs mixed with the cheap hits makes it annoying and unenjoyable. Revengence mode is more bearable with slower fire rate but is still unavoidable at times, while death mode is straight up spammy cheap hits constantly. One thing that may fix a few problems is reducing his size and causing his AI to not wrap around the player, or making him dash away from the player and fly in a circle like Aquatic Scourge.

**Add recipes for Calamity shrine loot**

In multiplayer you only get 1 per world such as only 1 luxor gift. It would be better if there were hard to craft recipes for them as it would make it so it is achievable in multiplayer even if it is very hard to do so. It would make the multiplayer experience better than "go cheat it in" seems a bit unfair and ruins a lot of fun of finding it in the first place or going through the process to find this item. Crafting it has a similar feel of "going out of your way to get something that is very useful in your run" while still being able to enjoy a multiplayer experience. It should be a hard to craft recipe as in singleplayer as I believe it should be more rewarding to search for it instead of crafting it.

**Add more Torches and Campfires/Make Basins act like Campfires**

Calamity already has many furniture items that it adds to the game, but surprisingly is lacking in any additional forms of torches or campfire; only one torch is added to the game: the abyss torch. In contrast, vanilla Terraria boasts (excluding the variants added in Journey's End) at least 16 different variants of torches and 8 different campfires. Calamity does add Basins, which are aesthetically similar to campfires, but do not grant the "Cozy Fire" buff, which is one of the main reasons to use campfires in the first place. Adding more torches and campfires would add more options for decoration of builds or arenas to make them look nice, or fit in aesthetically. We already have living fire blocks for some of the various types of flames in Calamity, so it would it least make sense to have associated torches and campfires. After all, this is the case for all of the living fire blocks present in vanilla Terraria.

Reworking it to require to do more things aside from just putting the player's cursor on the hitboxes would make the weapon more interesting to use.

An idea that could be considered is making the reticle purely that; a reticle. Having the reticle locked on a target for a set amount of time makes the gun do something that would deal heavy damage.

**Polish the lore of Calamitas in-game**

The way Calamitas is portrayed lore-wise versus how it's shown in-game is a bit inconsistent. Calamitas is a chaotic brimstone witch when suddenly it's just a bad clone. Now, I get it. It's meant to give an element of surprise, but I feel that it could be implemented better.

The name is what really gets me. Sure, I find the initial name of the clone to be well implemented, but after the clone's defeat, it gets confusing why the game keeps referring to this clone as Calamitas when it forgets you've been farming it for the past hour and you know it's just a clone from that lore item it dropped. Hide SCal in Boss Checklist until the clone's demise, and rename the clone to Calamitas Clone. You should also rename SCal to just Calamitas. Not only is this more logical, it draws the line between story-like plot twists and plain logic.

**Polish Enchantments**

so, 6 out of 12 Enchantments have the "it damages both the player and you" thingy, and 4 out of 5 items with the "exhume" enchantment have this too. I don't think this is really good, because the player have other stats other than health y'know, like defense. And this makes these Enchantments far more punishing than it should be, leaving the choice to the player just not enchant at all, or use just a few of the Enchantments. The cons of some Enchantments overrides the pros, making Enchantments almost useless, and making something less punishing would be way better. Like for example: "sometimes shoots demons that damage the enemy and decrease your defense" or something like a glass cannon, that decreases the defense for way better damage. Or you can just nerf the damage from some Enchantments, because i think it's way too high. Anyway, these are just examples, but still, the Enchantments definitively needs some improvements.
As of the "salty" price, i think one way to solve that is to add some sort of coin better than platinum, but still, i think the price of the Enchantments is good already.

Up to even moon lord, in a multiplayer playthrough hellborn had the highest dps in progression, getting up to 67 thousand while most other weapons got up to a couple thousand. When up close to any boss it was taken out with immense ease and made a lot of boss drops and new items in progression incredibly arbitrary. I would say that there should be a limit to the explosion that occurs, or even removing the damage buff that happens after the explosion and only giving a buff to fire rate and knockback, still having a dps increase, but not a majorly.

Rework summoner minions AI to be able to target and attack enemies from a much farther distance while Boss Effects are active.

Reason: When playing on high difficulty or up against very fast bosses (Fishron, Plaguebringer, Most Worm bosses, etc.), minions that target enemies by moving towards them have a very hard time maintaining damage due to the fact that as soon as the player is too far away, they will stop attacking and attempt to move back to the player, resulting in an inability for many pre hard mode and hard mode minions to properly deal consistent damage.

This make certain “mounted summons” more powerful since they simply stay right next to the player (Mounted Scanner, Wither Blossom Staff), dealing damage as they get close.

If minions were simply changed to be able to go further away from the player during a boss fight, then the player would have more options as a summoner.

A scenario is something like this, you are running horrizontally because realistically you are not going towards it and you are not going down cuz if it does lean it gets a cheap shot in while you are at an angle. So while you are running you expect it to lean in front of you, but instead it goes and leans where you are running towards and basically unfair to dodge as its a 50/50 if its right or left pretty much as Cal Clone bops left and right.

If it is determined where she is nearest to the position to horizontally level herself with the player, a change could be something like cal clone noticeably leans towards more on the side where she is going to horizontally level herself with the player

Right now, there is no renewable source of auric ore or bars despite it being used in a large portion of endgame crafting. To fix this I suggest making there be some way to get auric ore besides mining. This could be from a new slime variant, from fishing crates, or a drop from a boss (maybe Draedon). I dont particularly care what it is that generates auric ore, but the point is that there is no reason why a resource this important should be non renewable. This is particularly important in larger servers (right now Im in a server with 9 people and we are struggling to get enough ore for everyone to get sets of armor).

Make challenge items and also legendary challenge items drop with a certain level of probability depending on the activated game mode rather than just being exclusive to malice mode. This is due to 2 things. The first is that many of these items used to be very useful for novice players starting out in revengeance mode (as most calamity players do) and malice mode is a big challenge even for experienced players. The second thing is that since the arrival of Malice mode, the death mode has been somewhat overshadowed, due to the fact that it has a very low amount of exclusive items, and thus playing this mode could be convenient if the probability of a challenge item is dropped is very low in revengeance mode. And as an optional addition, items such as "Iron Heart", "Armageddon" and "Defiled Feather" May grant an increased chance for bosses to drop challenge items while activated, which would be added to the selected difficulty mode

**Give Ashes of Annihilation a use which doesn't require Exo Prisms**

Draedon and SCal are supposed to be the same tier if I'm not mistaken, if not Draedon then SCal (which personally I disagree with)? Killing Draedon allows you to craft Miracle Matter and, in turn, some strong upgrades to use against SCal. But SCal only drops Ashes of Annihilation, which do craft Shadowspec Bars, but those require also killing Draedon. Admittedly, SCals drops are definitely good, and I understand why these are the only use, she is supposed to be the final boss. But at the same time I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds SCal easier than Draedon, and not having a proper, big upgrade after killing her feels really underwhelming and makes me feel like killing her was kind of pointless.

For me, at least, Draedon really feels like the new final boss, but, that leaves me wondering why I even fought SCal, because of how minor the upgrade was.

Maybe I'm just being dumb, but this really makes SCal super unrewarding for me.

edit: I was informed that it is intended that SCal and Draedon are on-tier with each other, so maybe they should have a similar quality in terms of upgrades? If it is one or the other

edit: Exhumed and enchanted weapons are absolutely upgrades, but at the same I think the risk associated with them isn't exactly appealing to some players like simple weapon options are. Even if they are good, which some enchants are, they can be difficult for some players to use effectively / understand (myself included because admittedly haven't looked too far into how to use them effectively or which are the best options for different weapons). I personally believe that while these are good upgrades, I don't think they're as good as standalone weapons (aside from the exhumed weapons, which at the same time do have the same 'pros and cons' nature as the enchants), but also really that's just in my experience with it and I probably sound like a complete idiot commenting on them

**Make the Brimstone Hearts from Metastatis persist even after de-summoning the minion or somehow rework the downside**

This is a very good summon weapon, and one of my favorite new weapons in the Draedon update. However, the downside to this weapon in which the sepulcher will sometimes attack you depending on how many hearts are present can be completely removed by just occasionally cancelling the summon and re-summoning it. This removes any difficulty or challenge that may come with using it and makes the downside almost non-existent, should you decide to abuse it.

Another possible way to fix this or atleast discourage abusing it is to make the sepulcher gain damage based on the amount of brimstone hearts present. Which will allow the player to output more dps, but with the risk of the sepulcher engaging them.

I think a lava fountain for the Crags would make a great addition, not only for the fact that it's something unique, but it also allows players to customize lava without having to make a Brimstone biome.

**More monoliths**

Although many boss backgrounds and effects are simple, like the exo mechs or calamitas, they have their own unique visual charm that would be nice to have available for builds. An exo monolith for example could add a stormy lightning background without the vanilla vortex having that huge planet in the background as well. Having them be made with the sparsely used exo prisms or ashes of annihilation would also give those materials an added recipe.

**Change the Rework chilled water option to be more fair and make it always active on Death mode**

At the moment reworked chilled water feels as either a very minor annoyance or completely brutal (more than lethal lava). The reason here being is the breath loss. While on very shallow water its extremely easy to avoid on deeper bodies (specially inside the underground ice biome with the thin ice blocking you or making a tunnel) is extremely punishing. Having the air loss be reduced slower and doing something to compensate (such as returning chilled) to make it more equal and fairer to deal with.
Also its strange that despite being similar to lethal lava it is not forced to be active inside death mode so this would definitely spice up the challenge inside the ice biome and feel harder compared to Revengeance and to be consistent with lethal lava which is always present on death mode.

** Revert the Orbiting Energies of Ceaseless Void to its previous version**

I personally believe that the new void rework is a mess. The removal of the energies beings so chaotic and chasing you like creepers from BoC made him in the past a very enjoyable and tense fight, coupled with the old static rotating energies it made him challenging in a good way. This rework is just not good. The static orbiting nature of the new void is atrocious, Void moves like a crack addict normally around the dungeon and with the new orbitals makes it awful. I can admit the black hole attack is very good and extremely fun to dodge, and even its new death animation from absorbing too many energies is amazing. I say that those can stay. But get rid of the orbiting energies as those aren't fun to combat.

**Make Ceaseless Void Take a More Static Positioning**

Current Ceaseless Void rework in a nutshell: Dark Energies orbit around Void itself in a fixed distance and pattern. Void itself constantly follows your position and additionally rotate anti-clockwise on a timer. Also have blackhole phase (but that is fine)

What end up happening is that because Void follow your dodging movement and therefore energies too, it makes all dodging feels very un-natural and clunky as you "dodged" the attack just for it to get insert into your face. Its current movement pattern feels very clunky to play against.

Just as an example, making Ceaseless Void to take a more "static" positioning (staying in place) and maybe also utilize teleportation as movement can help eliminate the problem significantly, and open opportunity for much more complex attack pattern rather than limited by its weird movement

**Make the projectiles and monster that bosses spawn disappear after the boss died or disappeared**

Why ? Because some bosses can use mine (Slime god, astrum deus, aquatic scourge...), and these stay even after the fight so if you died you need to wait for them to disappear or to exit and join your world, and it can be very annoying in high difficulty. (death mode)

And while there's not a lot of bosses that can use mine, the number of bosses that can summon monster is a bit more (king slime, god slime, leviathan, cryogen, destroyer etc), the monster can stay if your bed is close enough to them, sometimes taking damage to them after the boss fight so you need to wait to be ready to fight the boss again. Maybe the worst about the fact that these boss monster doesn't despawn is the fact that 1 boss summon monster that despawn after leaving, the Devourer of God, his summon go away after the end of the fight, making DoG not as annoying to try again.
If the monster and projectiles would disappear after the boss disappearing, they would be funnier to try again and not making you frustrated because you need to wait after each try.

A direct comparison will be if DoG phase transition only has music but do not enter a portal nor transforming to a new look.

Changing the background (such as towards a darker/black background) either temporary or for the rest of the fight will be an easy way for player to notice that there is a phase transition, as currently Yharon do glow during phase transition but it is not obvious due to the orange background. It may also make Yharon's projectiles more visible especially during the later phases of the fight where the bullet hell gets much more intense.

I find myself building in the dungeon in order to make a decent arena for CV/Polter, but Necromancers make that tricky. They attack far too quickly, and their attacks are instant rather than being a travelling projectile. They deal heaps of damage too, so they're always a threat. Due to their type of attack, their teleporting in response to damage and their attack speed, they land cheap (and hard-hitting) shots, which can quickly kill someone even with quick reflexes or weapons. I'd suggest a slight grace period upon spawning/teleporting where they can't use their attack, or something similar.

**Add a config option to disable the increased default movement speed and autoswing on some modded and vanilla weapons**

A lot of people dislike the increased movement speed that calamity added, so a config option to disable it and return to the vanilla speed stat would be a welcome addition for a sizeable part of the mod's playerbase.
Same applies to other changes, like the autoswing feature that certain weapons (like early game broadswords) have when calamity is enabled,
players that want the old vanilla "semi auto" attacks back could just disable the config option in the calamity tmodloader config page.

Adding to my suggestion,
some people don't like the change cause the character feels way too fast, especially for the early game. The slow start in vanilla has a good feel to it, since you become faster trough accessories slowly scaling up to superhuman speed and strength, and in the early game you run at a "normal" human speed.

Regarding autoswing,
Many think that some weapons like the Venus Magnum and Revolvers should not be autoswing, since pistols would basically turn into worse machine guns at that point, and holding down mouse1 is not the definition of Fun in my book.
Certain weapons also feel more satisfying to use when they don't autoswing, since semi auto gives swords an impact, a certain oomf that makes them feel heavier, it would be great for roleplay reasons too.
So please consider adding a small config option for autoswing changes, so that both the pro and anti auto crowds would get what they want

How this would be done would be simple, I believe. Whenever the construct is deployed, it would tell the player what attack mode the summon is in. For example, when it uses its laser attack, the text in the bottom left would say "The construct is now in laser mode," or if it's using it's icethrowers, say "The construct is now in icethrower mode." Making the text color in cyan would not only add to the aesthetic, but also be visible in the heat of combat.

**Swap the Place of the Final (Fifth) Bullet Hell with the Second Sepulcher Phase in Supreme Calamitas Fight**

Although difficulty is subjective, it is generally accepted that the 2nd Sepulcher phase tend to be easier than the 5th bullet hell due to many weapons being capable of destroying the hearts very quickly. The only difference to the 1st Sepulcher is the addition of the moons, which by itself is not a hard phase due to Calamitas attacking slower.

The fifth (and final bullet hell) will fit much better as a "desperation phase" as it is not only Calamitas' signature and strongest attack but also afterwards she starts sending messages akin to admitting defeat. It will also fit thematically since the fight started with a Bullet Hell, giving a greater impression of a true "final attack"

**Add Biome Shrine Locators similar to the Mysterious Mechanisms**

The calamity biome shrines contain some pretty fun and interesting items. However, finding these shrines take far too long especially in larger world sizes. It can take hours just to find the shrine you're looking for because you're basically looking for 1 specific structure in a massive world. Some shrines are easier to find than others due to the biomes they are placed in, but far too many times have I needed to scavenge my entire world just for one item. Its rarely ever worth it to intentionally search for these drops due to how long it takes to find them. I find myself usually skipping them unless I come across them in normal exploration.

The Draedon Labs got an item, in the form of Mysterious Mechanisms that will seek each lab out for you should the player have trouble finding them, so why not do that for Biome Shrines as well?

All of these items are powerful in some way, so I get why they're hard to find. But adding an item maybe post-Skeletron to seek them out would help a lot. I would propose using a golden key and then combining them with biome materials to create a Biome Shrine Key. This item would then slowly move towards the chest.

**Buff Frigid Bulwark and Give It Additional Effects**

Currently Frigid Bulwark is generally underused due to it being comparatively weaker than other items on its tier. Asgard's Valor for knockback immune and Ambrosial Ampoule for defensive capabilities comes in mind.

Frigid Bulwark should be buffed in some way so that it can stand on its own to be a worthwhile accessory, the following are some example ideas:

1. Stay in tier but get a "shield of cthulhu-like dash" to give it more functionality and an alternative to Asgard's line, with Asgard's line focusing on giving a super dash and debuff immunity while Frigid Bulwark-line just for movement and general utility

2. Double-down on team play functions and give it rover drive or similar effect to help block/mitigate damage partially on a cooldown/condition

3. Move Frigid Bulwark to post-ML but make it combine with Ambrosial Ampoule

**Add Difficulty Description Tooltip to Revengeance and Death (Item)**

With Malice (item) setting precedent, it can be a good idea to fool-proof it and add general difficulty description to Revengeance and Death to give expectation of what the mode is about (especially for new player). Difficulty description being similar to Malice (This mode is subjective...)

The following are just example from me (someone else will do a better job than me):

Revengeance: This mode is intended for experienced vanilla player, providing greater challenge than vanilla that can be overcome with effort. A full playthrough even for first modded experience is possible.

Death: This mode is intended for veteran to Calamity Mod, expect drastically increase in difficulty. Preparation, knowledge and determination are required. A full playthrough can be reasonably done by someone experienced to the mod.

**Make the final Exo Mech you fight based on which you selected to begin the fight, rather than whichever you damaged least**

Currently, grinding for the Exo drops you want is a pain as you have to specifically avoid damaging the ones that drop the item you want, which, considering both the projectile spam of many late game weapons, and, frankly, the clusterfuck visuals of the Mechs, is much easier said than done. Allowing the player to select which one you fight last would cut down on that painful grind.

Additionally, it would lend more weight to the selection at the start of the fight considering right now it serves little purpose other than a neat little decision you can make with little actual consequence to the fight itself.

While I would prefer that he got an entire rework, I know that isn't possible. But still do think that giving him some extra attacks would help solidify his place next to Moon Lord in progression. I was thinking something along the lines of him arcing above the players position and raining down star projectiles, and maybe drawing constellations with his body? Something to help drive home the idea that he's a star worm, because as it stands he's mechanically a recolored destroyer (Since Rev Destroyer now has the same unique laser firing patterns.)

Currently, there is not a SINGLE reason to go into the underground astral biome, As once you beat Astrum Deus, you can immediately collect all the Astral Ore you will ever need. Placing the Astral Ore down there gives the player a reason to go underground, And makes the player brave this environment. Optionally, allowing the Astral biome block to spread and infect vanilla blocks like the corruption can would make Astral Ore semi-renewable. There could be a limit on the amount of astral blocks in a world, at which point the blocks will not infect any further.

On its current state it is just too strong for a post-EoC accessory. Unlike what the tooltip states it reduces stealth costs by 15 points (rather than 1) which on pre-hm is quite a bit (and it also allows to stealth strike infinitely when paired with ethereal exhorter and a multiclass armor). Besides that exploit it also has Filthy glove's (a post-Hive mind accessory) stats AND inflicts armor crunch (which is a powerful debuff, specially in this stage) making nearly every offensive stealth rogue accessory near obsolete until you get Electrician's glove or similar accessories on hard mode. A nerf is required for this item.

**Rework Destroyer’s body lasers**

The new Destroyer laser attack is ripped off of Deus’ laser attack. Setting the debate on whether this was just a lazy move to shut people’s complaints up aside, this attack bears flaws that make the boss simply way too unfair for early Hardmode. Firstly, the movement equipements players use for Destroyer and Deus are way different; Fishron Wings clearly outmatch any early Hardmode wings, and provide a sufficient method of escaping the lasers. Secondly, Destroyer has many more segments than Deus, resulting in the laser barrages lasting much longer and covering much more space than the latter’s. This attack is bad just like last update’s laser attack, just in a different way.

Getting stuck at the top of the screen is annoying during Calamity's endgame, and while gravity normalizer potion helps, it is a limited buff that isn't ideal, plus I don't want to have to grind lots of them for all of my failed attempts. This would also be thematically fitting given that the gravity globe (another moon lord drop) can manipulate gravity, kinda tying the whole gravity manipulation theme together. It would be extremely helpful just to have to clear out the planetoids for more space instead of having to mine out a big box somewhere underground for late game bosses (especially Draedon who needs a lot of space).

**Make Purified Jam non-consumable, and potentially make it a Malice Drop**

Currently Purified Jam, while it’s a cool concept, is extremely underutilized. The tedium of farming for it puts off players from using it, and is unwarranted. Especially since it is still possible to do so reliably, if slowly, in endgame, where the item is most useful. Making it a non-consumable potion similarly to the Horn o’ Plenty from pre 1.3 mobile versions could be a good way to make it more practical.

Additionally, it is not just 5 seconds of free invincibility, as it inflicts 30 seconds of potion sickness (25 seconds with Philosopher’s stone+).

The Slime God is also one of a few bosses that do not have a Malice Mode drop. Even if another Challenge Drop is planned for the Slime God in the future, other Malice bosses have multiple challenge drops early game, like Eye of Cthulhu, and a non-consumable Purified Jam could be a good incentive for players to try out Malice Mode Slime God.

**Brain of Cthulhu malice mode melee is way too difficult **

Before you blow this off as "malice is meant to be challenging", it was stated
that all bosses are possible with proper-tier gear. However, on my melee playthrough,
I do not see the BoC feasible. I am okay at the game, and have yet to get remotely close
to defeating him. The issue lies later on when he begins to teleport rapidly. There is
just no way to avoid him with a melee build. I have tried nearly all melee weapons provided
by Calamity, with no avail. Its possible I'm missing a mechanic, but this fight is feeling near
impossible at over 200 attempts, with none of them getting him under 25% HP. Sure I could change
classes, but I believe that all classes should stand a chance. Maybe add a new melee weapon for him?
I've looked all over the internet and have yet to see someone beat it with a melee build. I've asked
numerous times in the help channel with the same response of change classes or used non-melee weapons.

**Nerf or rework Ares to be less of a world tour**

In the current Exo Mechs fight, Ares presents a decent challenge, with four Exo superweapons to watch out for. The main issue with that is how much space it takes to defeat.
Ares is a world tour and that is still an understatement. As all Exo weapons are above you and require a lot of movement to dodge, players can't help but keep falling to dodge his attacks, which translates to an enormous arena spanning from the Surface to the Underworld. It's not ideal to have a boss demand a world-sized arena to be beaten, specially considering it's on all difficulties. Ares should be nerfed or reworked in a way that it's feasible to defeat it on the Surface/Space layers, without having to nuke the world. At least, the Exo weapons shouldn't force a fall god strategy upon the player, and give some room for other ways of dodging (such as the Exo Twins, which allow for a more flexible vertical movement).

It's possible to cheese infinite range aggro non-teleporting bosses with teleportation potion. Specifically, calamitas can be cheesed with teleportation and probably more bosses.

**Give Gravity Globe a good use**

The Gravity Globe always has been one of the most underwhelming, unused accessories. Because of this, It gets little to no use, outside of challenges. For starters, there is no real reason to use it, as gravitation potions are superior, because they do not take up one of the limited accessory slots, and you can change mid-air. I think giving the Gravity Globe that one feature could make it worthwhile.

Another change that could be added is giving the player resistance to low gravity, as it would provide more functionality in it. That is not saying much, however, as it has the same amount of functionality as the angel statue.

Finally, I think adding it's effects into the Seraph/Elysian/Cosmic tracers could make it not only a useful item, but make the tracers even better. Don't get me mistaken, I love the tracers, but it would be cooler to have gravity control.

On the other hand, if you get a spacious arena you will be making her extremely fast which just means constantly getting rammed by her or running into spore clouds due to going at high speeds

I understand that the aquatic scourge is meant to be fought on hardmode however it would be nice to be able to fight him reliably on pre-hardmode since its completely possible to fight him at this stage of the game, since the only other way to fight him pre-hardmode would be waiting for the scourge to spawn narutally which sometimes it can take a long time to spawn and the other way would be using a zerg potion but its very annoying to deal with all other monsters that spawn besides the scourge, besides, waiting for him to spawn narutally for several minute at a time will only give you one chance at killing him, failing to do so will make you wait even more for him to spawn again with is extremely discouraging

Making this change wont change the fact that this boss is in hardmode and you can still fight him as intended in the progression, however it will give choices to those players who wants a high risk-high reward challenge and are willing to commit fighting him several times in a row instead of just waiting for him to spawn and eventually giving up out of boredom of waiting

**Take away destroyer's flight in Rev+**

Destroyer is notorious for being a stupid RNG bossfight without much of an identity to build a unique AI. Over the past year and more Calamity has attempted to change the laser attack of destroyer and it's pattern to be much less difficult or disruptive, however all this has done was make the fight more streamlined towards every other worm boss in the mod.
Destroyer additionally gained the ability to fly, and while this shuts down free player movement in the sky, it makes it a nightmare to balance every other aspect of the destroyer fight, such as the probes and lasers which both have massive potential to be expanded on in a unique way.
Removing destroyers ability to fly will make the lasers much less of a problem to balance and provide more potential to keep the player near destroyer without the constant presence of a mach 5 space worm. This also gives much more room to again expand on probes and lasers in a unique way that will make destroyer it's own fight and not just a task, something that many people see it as currently.

**Add a "subworld" to fight exo mech**

As a lot of player complain about the need of a really big arena, i think that it would be very appreciated. Some other terraria mods add this feature, and just adding an already builded arena could solve the problem (or even a big space in which player could build as they want).

I always feel pretty bad to destroy big part of my world just for one boss battle. For exo mech, i need at least to destroy some of my flying island and planetoid. In addition to the amount of time needed for this, it also break the charm of my world that don't feel "natural" anymore (even if i don't need those islands anymore after that).

As this arena won't need any procedural generation, it won't be as hard as making a real subworld, and it can easily feet in calamity lore, like draedon teleporting the player in a holographic place to fight exo mech or something else.

Also, it can even be useful in the futur for other boss if the dev team want to do something for them too.

**Massively Buff Hook Velocity of All Pre-ML Hooks**

Currently the players' movement options are pretty limited (most notably mid-air horizontal movement) especially with the new limitation on early-hardmode. This is most apparent in Malice mode where you constantly see the same strategy.

All viable movement options boils down to full Quick and: 1) Run in a straight line; 2) Wingless Sandstorm Jump; 3) Massive Arena + Slime Mount; 4) Jumpspeed + Slime Mount... Basically unless players have absurd amount of burst vertical or horizontal speed they can't dodge efficiently.

Hooks had always been an interesting movement option: they are the hardest to execute properly, while most versatile and often most rewarding, but most hooks are too weak Pre-ML simply because bosses are too quick/change direction too frequently for the speed of hooks to keep up. Buffing hooks (particularly the extend velocity) will make it a viable options and movement strategy to use rather than compensatory with other options.

**Make it so that dog despawns if all players die during phase transition*

I was fighting dog and i happen to die just as he enters the phase transition, i have short respawn times because i hate waiting and normally this does not matter as bosses despawn immediately but it turns out dogs phase transition is 5 seconds long and that is how long it takes for me to respawn so i have to teleport back to my arena and watch as dog kills some of my npcs and kills me a while later, this is normally never gonna happen due to the fact that it is caused by an external mod and you have to die at a specific time but it does beg the question of why does dog not despawn during the phase transition if all players die?

**Make Supreme Calamitas use her phase 2 attack animations for the entire fight**

Currently, Supreme Calamitas uses a set of attack animations for the first phase of the fight (>40% HP) where she mostly just raises her arm(s) and materializes projectiles, and a different set for the second phase (<40% HP) where she has more detailed animations such as thrusting out her arms and igniting her hands to launch individual projectiles.

I know it could be argued as Calamitas putting in more effort once she's been beaten down a bit, but I think that having those detailed animations only being used for the last 40% of the fight is kind of a waste, since they make Calamitas feel more lively and add an extra bit of flair to her attacks.

Add Phantasmal Ruin to the recipe of Scarlet Devil

Scarlet devils recipe rn is wraithwing, 15 bloodstone cores, 15 souls off night and 5 shadowspec bars. To me this has made sence, until wraiths projetctile was changed to a more firy thing, rather than a spear

Adding or replacing wrath whit phantasmal ruin to me is a small change that would be good. Phantasmal in my eyes is a bad finale to the rogue spear line. Its only pre dog, as most other major lines end atleast near scal

Why phantasmal makes sence? Well its has several familiriaties to scarlet. It has

-On travel projectiles
-An on hit projetile effect
-A slow use time

On the take that what about the other rogue spears like eclipes fall, eclipse lacks on travel projectiles and has a fast usetime. The atom splitter is a draedon drop and no other draedon drops craft into anything

Wrath, could still in my eyes stay in. Its has the scarlet explosion on hit, which make this upgrade tree make sence as phantasmal lack the explosions.

Rework the Perforator Hive fight to make the ceiling of projectiles attack more fair and fun to dodge

I think the majority of players can agree that this attack is most unfun attack to dodge ever. The attack makes the boss way too difficult for its point of progression, as for example, the Hive Mind is miles easier than it, even though they are the same tier. The attack does not make player think of how to actually dodge the attack, because there really is no way to consistently dodge it since there's always something else going on at the same time to also avoid, the attack instead makes players think of how to manipulate the boss's ai in order to completely nullify the attack and just go around the entire ceiling of projectiles. This fight would be infinitely more fun if the attack simply wasn't there, with no other changes, although it probably would be too easy then, as this attack makes up the entirety of the fight's difficulty since it forces you to base how you move for the entire fight off of it specifically. Increasing the wideness of the gap between each projectile or making a larger "main gap" somewhere would make the attack not as unfair and make more sense for the point in progression of the boss.

**Make the Charred Idol require a Mythril Anvil to craft instead of an Adamantite Forge**

One of the main changes to hardmode that Calamity makes is allowing the player to fight bosses in almost any order they want to, making progression non-linear. This was pushed back a little by the early hardmode rework due to access to Mythril (and thus the Mythril Anvil) being locked behind defeating a mech boss, but there's still a lot of room to make your own route through the game.

Right now, most hardmode bosses' summoning items only require a Mythril or Iron Anvil to be crafted, allowing them to be summoned early in hardmode. The only exceptions are the Abombination (PBG) which requires killing Golem for plague canisters, and, new to 1.5, the Charred Idol (Brimstone Elemental) which requires an Adamantite Forge. Brimstone Elemental is meant to be one of the first bosses fought in hardmode, but because getting the forge required to craft her summon now also requires killing two mech bosses to get Adamantite, you can no longer fight her as early as was intended. On top of going against the Calamity mod's goal of non-linear progression, this also indirectly makes her drops less valuable, as they have to compete with Adamantite/Hallowed-tier gear because that's the gear you'll have available to you by the time you can summon her.

Making the Charred Idol require a Mythril Anvil instead of an Adamantite Forge makes its crafting requirements consistent with other hardmode bosses' summoning items, brings it back in line with Calamity's non-linear design, and allows Brimstone Elemental to be fought at the intended point of progression.

**Rework the Crystal Blade**

Let's talk about one of the most useless hardmode weapons, "The Crystal Blade". This weapon is crafted with Cobalt/Palladium bars, Pixie Dust and Crystals, which it isn't a bad recipe. But the bad thing about this weapon is the terms of damage and how it is outclassed by other weapons. It does nothing, just firing a slow moving cloud that deals low damage.
I suggest to rework the Crystal Blade to be more viable for the start of hardmode and to not be straight up outclassed by other melee weapons.

**Give Cryogen a unique summoning altar**

As has been done before with Astrum Deus and now Supreme Calamitas as of 1.5, I feel it would be very fitting to implement a summoning altar for Cryogen. Being a magical construct containing both Permafrost and his castle after refusing to aid Yharim, it would be really nice to see a summoning altar or possibly even small courtyard structure in the middle of the snow biome. This feels especially justified by the fact that Cryogen's summoning item is literally called the Cryo Key, so implementing some kind of runic stand/tablet or magically sealed doorway would go a long way for continuing to integrate world-building and lore into interactable parts of the game, as well as making Cryogen's fight more memorable

**Allow Vulnerability Hex to reduce enemy defensive stats**

It really doesn't make sense for Vulnerability Hex to reduce player defensive stats a lot and disable health regen when inflicted on the player, but then only do damage over time when inflicted on enemies. It's also fine for it to be a powerful debuff on enemies, since the sources of player inflicted vuln. hex come with heavy downsides (being an enchant slot which naturally has a downside, or an acc slot in the case of the Calamity acc.).

**Change the flying carpet recipe to make it craftable in prehardmode**

The Flying Carpet is a fairly useful accessory to have in prehardmode, but whether or not you are able to obtain it in vanilla is left entirely to RNG. Calamity adds a recipe for it, but you cannot gain the materials needed to craft it until hardmode, and by that time you start getting access to better mobility options. The Recipe as it stands feels like it is only useful for getting the carpet you need for auric tesla boots. Changing the recipe to make it be able to be crafted in prehardmode would allow players to reliably get it at a stage of the game where it has the most value.

**Make crafting Ashen Slabs give you more blocks per craft, and decrease the rarity of Charred Ore**

Currently to craft 5 Ashen Slabs you need 1 Unholy Core and 4 Smooth Brimstone Slag. Unholy Cores require 4 Charred Ore, and Charred Ore can only be found within the Brimstone Crag.
With how small the Brimstone Slag is, there isn't much Charred Ore to be mined, and the only other option for obtaining it is through Charred Slimes. The amount currently is more than enough to craft all of the items that require it, however if you want to use Ashen Slabs in a large building project, you will quickly mine up all of your Charred Ore, and still likely not have enough to build anything too big. This is also ignoring the Unholy Cores requires for some of the Ashen Furniture.

Increasing the Smooth Brimstone Slag cost and increasing how many Ashen Slabs you get for each craft would help solve this issue, however the limited nature of Charred Ore may still pose an issue for larger scale builds. I would propose that veins of Charred Ore appear all throughout the Underworld, though in much smaller quantities than the veins found in the Brimstone Crag. This would eliminate the issue of not having enough Unholy Cores for building purposes while still keeping the best place to get Charred Ore for progression purposes in the Brimstone Crag.

This would help with fighting early hardmode bosses and flying into space, which leads you to dying due to the effects of lower gravity.

This could open new possibilities and make the labs a bit more relevant during hardmode and earlier post-ML

**Have Draedon leave if no Exo Mech is chosen after a certain amount of time, for example, a minute.**

As Draedon himself counts as a boss entity, he gives the Boss Zen debuff, even during the Mech choice. However, given neither a consumable for summoning nor a timer for urgency, he will stick around for as long as you don't pick anything, allowing infinite Boss Zen at will. As making his summon use a consumable would be antithetical to the boss summon changes, having a set timer to the choice would be the preferable option, forcing him to leave without dropping any sort of loot if the player does not choose any mech to summon to prevent infinite Boss Zen.

**Buff Tracers To Boost Maximum Flight Time and Can Fly But Not Count As Wings to Not Block the Player From Equipping Wings**

While Angel Treads are designed to be equipped alongside wings (and heavily buff wings in doing so), starting from Seraph Tracers they not only no longer boost wing flight but also that they completely block the player from equipping wings with the boots. This means that those players who wish to have the horizontal movement of late-game boots and the performance of stand-alone wings simply cannot do so, which contribute to the problem where post-ML wings are simply not worth using.

Thus, maximum flight time from Angel Treads should be retained into the tracers. By making Tracers not count as wings it will no longer completely disincentivize the use of stand-alone wings. However, the Tracers should retain the ability of flight despite them no longer being a wing to preserve its current function, and rather than keep nerfing tracer-line wing flight (which happen in Draedon update too), the vertical and horizontal flight speed of the tracers should be adjusted instead as these stats are not as essential to the tracers due to their boots component complementing it.

**Rework the volley system that destroyer has**

A problem with the destroyer laser rework is that it basically just requires you to run in a direction or ROD through, which gets boring and repetitive compared to the fast paced, intense feel that vanilla has. My suggestion to rework this is to, instead of firing the lasers from head to tail, give each body segment 1 laser that it can fire per volley, and then have them go in a random order. This would allow more fun dodges, and make the fight less repetitive than it currently is. If you choose to instead keep the current system, then I would recommend making the lasers smaller and slower, which would provide a better way for the player to dodge through the lasers instead of just running in one direction.

**Change supreme catastrophe and cataclysm a little.**

To me, the brothers are really cool and some of my favorite characters. They’re pretty important to SCal and her backstory, so I think it’s kinda bummer how they don’t really add much to SCal’s fight. I think adding some new attacks or visual effects would make them significantly better.

I don’t think they should be made into full mini bosses or anything, but even just giving them a new attack or tweaking their current one into something more unique would do wonders for both of them and SCal’s fight. Even something simple like changing the dart explosions into something more unique or giving them a charge attack like their cloned equivalents would be wonderful.

Every single time i fight this boss, its really annoying to have to deal with the Lightning orbs spawning almost next to you, some of these times they spawn right in the direction you are going and makes them really hard to dodge, most of the time getting hit in a unfairly way, it would be nice to know before hand where these orbs will spawn so you have enough time to dodge them since currently, they spawn randomly and when they do, it normally takes 0.5 seconds to get hit if the orbs happens to spawn in the same direction you are going, making them really hard to dodge since you are probably focused on something else, like actually fighting the boss

**Integrate Reactive Damage Reduction "tier" system into Armageddon mode's multiple bag reward.**

As of current version in Calamity, Reactive DR system is divided onto multiple boss "tiers", and until a boss from the next tier is defeated, the bosses in a tier will keep their RDR. While the purpose of this is for convenience when the players wanted to refight earlier bosses without RDR getting in the way, the same system could also be applied in Armageddon.

As it stands, Armageddon gives 5 bags only on the first kill of the boss in question. While this is a decent solution to prevent earlygame boss (like EoW / BoC) farm cheese for late game, this makes Armageddon as a proper playthrough significantly less rewarding in exchange, as the actual Armageddon players cannot benefit from the mode as much as it should. Giving this reward on Armageddon the similar "tier" system Malice's RDR has would make the mode significantly more rewarding for a playthrough, all while still preventing earlygame boss farm cheese mentioned above.

While many people tend to use external mods like Luiafk or AlchemistNPC to provide infinite duration potion buff, some of us are trying to avoid such gameplay altering mods after Calamity added their own potion selling NPC.

The increase potion buff duration component of the Amalgam should be available earlier in the progression as it will provide great utility to the player, such as in the form of a craftable component of The Amalgam at an earlier stage of the game. Locking this effect behind DoG is way too late in the progression for it to be useful (as at this stage you have enough resources to simply keep reproducing potions)

All other station buffs for specific classes in the game in some way benefits the class greatly. (With the exception of Rogue lacking one), Melee gets armor penetration, Magic gets Magic Power and Summoner gets +1 minion slot which is basically damage.

On the other hand, Ranger station buff is very lackluster. Not only is it locked behind the RNG of Travelling Merchant, it provides +20% ammo reservation, which is a stat that is especially useless in a boss fight and made even more useless with Calamity adding ways to acquire more resources for ammunition. Ranger should have a different buff that can in some way benefit in combat, even if it is minor to match the station buff power of other classes.

**Rename "Stealth" to "Focus"(or "Precision") and remove the invis**

The name "stealth" only fits in with the aggro reduction and the invis(which we will get to). the actual mechanic of "not attacking so you can attack stronger" has little to do with the mechanic being named stealth(considering most enemies do attack you first in this game) It seems like it would have more to do with focusing and precision. Also the fact that the weapons used aren't very stealthy. This also fits in with the weapon modifiers (https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Modifiers). Most of the names for the weapon modifiers seem to have a lot to do with precision, with the highest tier being "flawless"

The problem with this idea is the accessory modifiers not reflecting the idea of focus and precision. if you are looking at this, pls do think of some new words to use for the stealth accessory modifiers

As for the invis, from my personal experience most people seem to disable it, so disabling it by default would be nice. also might stop confusing new players. or just simply remove it.
