**An option for less particles**

In my opinion there should be an option to lessen the particles for fps reasons but for late game too because at that point with some of the weapons and accessories the screen gets filled and you cant see the difference between your projectiles and a boss like Supreme Calamatas' projectiles. From my expirience at that point i start getting ready to face tank all attacks from SCal and her brothers even as other more fragile classes like ranger or rogue.

A new item for lore.

It combines all the lore into 1 It can be a lore book! It would be a quality of life change and a easy way to keep all the lore together rather than leaving them all in a chest It can be similar to the book in the boss checklist mod and with each boss it shows their icon and the line of text from the specific lore item.

**Golem's Body should have a map icon**

One thing is in vanilla the body is not an absolute jumping unit and the head is not as intense esp in rev+. Golem body can just pop in and out of nowhere and hit you especially when you are focusing your damage on the head. It seems a bit unfair it can do this especially how hard it is to multitask focusing the head where it is and the body and having a mini map icon can really help the player know where both of them are and not get suprised

**Rework the perferators**

Currently, perferators only cycle through 2 hive attacks, the dash and the projectile, both are bullshit. The dash acceleration speed on rev+ is faster than movement is possible, which wouldnt be an issue if it didnt dash downwards. a simple solution? completely rework it, or make it easier to predict. new, fresher attacks could also keep the boss feeling more complete, the worm phases are fine and dont need much more, but the hive itself needs to undergo serious changes.

**Remove Providence becoming immortal outside of Hallow / Hell**

I've read so much feedback regarding bosses like Polterghast, about how annoying it can be to build an arena, and in the past, other bosses like Golem as well, before the generation change to the temple. I feel like Providence is currently the worst offender of this, especially in a smaller world, because she requires a lot of room to move around and will almost always require creating artificial biomes or at least artificially extending the Hallow you have.

This is mostly directed at the Hallow version. Comparing Providence to another Terraria "hallow exclusive boss", Empress of Light in 1.4, she does not become immortal or un-fightable outside of the hallow and only requires it for the summon (or in her case, simply to just get the summon item). I feel like Providence could work a lot like this, and would make the boss significantly less tiresome when you get to that part of the game and think "oh boy I have to terraform a bunch!". I know myself and a lot of players even go as far as putting actuated Pearlstone in the background to extend the amount of vertical space by about 30 blocks, because otherwise, it feels insanely cramped for almost no reason other than "I didn't feel like spending 20 minutes building an arena".

She can still maintain the different Expert mode drops depending on either where she was summoned, or where she was killed, either works. It's not as if going from the surface to hell or vice versa is exactly feasible in the middle of the fight, anyway.

So yeah, I think Providence should lose the immortality outside of the Hallow because really, I don't think that adds anything but arena annoyance to the game. My suggestion is essentially transforming the fight from a Hallow/Hell boss into a Surface/Hell boss.

**Give a very noticeable yet non disruptive warning when being inflicted by providence's holy inferno debuff**

The darkened screen being removed is a good thing since it literally blinds you, but there should be a really noticeable warning when being inflicted by the holy inferno debuff. This could be done by giving a fiery/red yet transparent, I repeat transparent filter to the screen which prompts players to get closer to providence. Noone wants to lose 100 health before knowing they got too far away from providence.
Or maybe it would be fine to bring back the darkened screen but, also give a ring with providence in the center which indicates that you should not get out of that ring or else you will be blinded and get inflicted by the holy inferno.

**Rework Portabulb**

Currently Portabulb makes Plantera's interesting summon method identical to other bosses.
Here's my idea: the Portabulb can be placed on the ground as a small plantera bulb, and grows into a full size one that can be broken after some time.
This will keep plantera's somewhat unique spawning method while still having bulb's rng spawn not be annoying to deal with.

**Change Draedon's Remote to something similar to the Rune of Kos**

Basically, have it summon Aureus, PBG, or the mech bosses depending on where (and when?) you use it. When you use it, the remote is not consumed and it summons the current applicable boss.
Yes, this will push it to post-Golem. Yes, this may mean it will have a crafting tree. Not many players actually used Draedon's Remote for the purpose of fighting all 3 mech bosses on-tier anyway. If it's a problem, have an item replace its current form that only works to summon the 3 mech bosses. This could work as a way to replace having to craft three different summoning items for the mech bosses, and instead simply have one item that works to summon any one or all of the three.
The reasoning behind this is that Aureus and PBG have been stated to have been created by Draedon in lore. Both these bosses also have non-unique summons, simply being a non-consumable biome specific crafted item.

A bonus feature as part of the mech summoning deal, once used at night in a biome that is neither astral or jungle, it will open a menu that allows you to choose any combination of mech bosses you wish to fight, be it one, two, or three of your choosing. This is a feature inherited from the previous, inferior design of his remote.

**Add a unique furniture in Jungle Lab to spawn Plaguebringer Goliath with.**

Right now Plaguebringer Goliath (PBG) can only be spawned with "Abombination" item, and while it's a direct upgrade to Queen Bee, lore and gameplay wise, it doesn't have any "natural" way to spawn, unlike Queen Bee's larva.

Having an interactable furniture in the Jungle Lab would help giving PBG a "natural" way to spawn instead of solely relying on a summon item. Additionally, Jungle Lab is really intertwined with PBG herself and Plague in general, so this way, she'd be summoned fairly naturally by the players.

**Change Defense Damage to be more impactful but use it for more supporting attacks**

Right now DD is just sticked to most damaging attacks (when it actually doesn't matter that because you die in 2 hits with or without defense debuff), which:
A) doesn't matter for well-playing players because they avoid defense-damaging attacks
B) leaves Defense Damage just as small anti-cheese mechanic

I believe it can be more than just a way to negate facetanking. Make Defense Damage be used for attacks that are relatively low damage but are tricky to dodge or something. In that way, boss attacks will be split between actual threatening attacks and attacks that makes you more vulnerable to other attacks for a little while.

*Reduce the rate the spinning fireball attack from yharon happens and/or increase the rate of dashes*

The second I fought Yharon (1st phase at least) I was annoyed with the fight. All yharon does is spin and shoot fireballs with bullet hell every five seconds and does 1 dash a minute. Before rust and dust it felt harder, Less petty, and more fun with the strategies involved. It would be way better if the spin bullet hell was reduced or completely replaced. I enjoyed when I was able to learn strategies with his dash patterns, as in he teleports where im going (as i remember). And increasing the rate of which the dashes happen would be a lot better

this attack was always bullshit, he would throw you around in a random direction with no telegraphs or way to defend against, till now JEW was not that big of a deal tho, but now he is part of the adult eilodon wyrm superboss, where is the problem here?
he can do a telekenesis while you are actively dodging a charge or any other attack, throwing you around, often times due to AEW's predicitive charges right into AEW's mouth, which will most likely 1 HIT KO you.
it was a bullshit attack that should have never been added, or at least executed in this kind of way, and now it is a active flaw in a superboss.

**make Holy Inferno kill the player instantly if Armageddon is on**

Currently, if you take damage from Holy Inferno while fighting Providence in a Nohit, your nohit will be Disqualified. However, as it is a DoT debuff, Armageddon will not instantly kill you if you take damage from it. This can result in wasted time on an attempt that you might think is still valid. This was less of an issue when Holy Inferno darkened the screen, as it was much more clear when you were taking the DoT, but now that it’s only a small fire effect on the player, one might not notice that they have taken damage from the debuff.

You're fighting one mech, you defeat it, then Thanatos spawns and attacks you instantly. First of all, that is unreasonable.

**Improve Underworld Buildings World Gen**

The problem with Underworld buildings had been a long-time complain and over-due for improvements. The argument had always been whether to preserve the "traditional world gen" or to make a new but improve world gen, but seeing now with experimental, large-scale vanilla altering feature like early-Hardmode progression revamp, it is about time.

Underworld buildings had always been troublesome due to it spreading across most of the Underworld, with varying height making it hard to clear. This makes it extremely hard to make Underworld traversable especially to build an arena for Wall of Flesh. Something need to be done for how these buildings are spawned or structured to make it easier to build/alter at the player's ability compare to current version. The following are some example ideas:

Make Underworld buildings generated more in "clump" rather than spreaded and scarce. For example have large Underworld buildings generate in 1 place rather than 10 buildings across a large area. It is an "Underworld Cities" not "Underworld Apartment Complex"
Reduce the overall height of the Underworld building/make them generate more into the ash blocks on average.
Lower the level of ash blocks at the bottom of the Underworld so that there is more space in the Underworld

**Move Ares' Tesla and Plasma Cannons further back and make his Laser Cannon swipe in all cardinal directions**

Currently, one of the bigger issues with the Exo Mechs fight is how it forces casual players to fall down their whole world in order to have a chance to avoid the flurry of attacks thrown at them. The mech that seemingly encourages this behavior most is Ares.

For one, the Tesla and Plasma cannons have little to no indication for firing their projectiles. Considering how little distance there is between said cannons and the player, they barely have time to register these projectiles. Thus, its easier to not register said projectiles at all by falling down the world and invalidating them entirely. Moving these two Exo Superweapons closer to the edge of the screen can give the player a fairer chance at avoiding them.

For another, the laser arm's frequent swipes are supposed to intercept the player's movement, yet for some reason they are entirely uncapable of swiping downwards to upwards. Considering all other directions are risky choices, this is yet another element of Ares' fight that discourages casual players from doing anything other than falling down their entire world to avoid attacks. Allowing this Exo Superweapon to swipe in all four directions (and potentially even partially predicting the player's movement) can help combat this and make this attack more engaging to avoid.

With these two relatively simple changes Ares' fight may suddenly become far more varied and colorful, as each Exo Weapon gets a chance to shine while giving the player a fair chance to dodge them and not forcing the player to resort to "Fall god" strategies.

**Stop/reduce premature blood moons**

Before I start the argument, I have to say that getting a blood moon on your first night in Terraria Death mode is hilarious, however, this is also extremely annoying. You usually have a good chance of finding a life crystal before the end of your first day which means that you can have a blood moon spawn instantly. You only need 120 life to actually start a blood moon, so why not increase that? 120 life is so trivially low that you can't expect people not to take it. I don't see a reason to not bump up the health requirement, or lock it behind a boss. Bumping the health requirement to 200 or locking it behind EoC and having it start after you kill him (similar to how a sandstorm starts when DS is killed for the first time) would be changes that would be fair for the early game.

I don't really know much about tmod coding, but maybe it's possible that the dolls will only be affected by gravity when we throw it from our inventory. When it just got dropped by the demons it should just float like souls/dungeon 'plasms/auric tesla bars.

This could also maybe put in the mod config which could switch between how dropped voodoo could instantly be affected by gravity or float.

**Make Malice Brain of Cthulhu slower**

Just want to clarify that this suggestion mostly applies to the first phase of Malice BoC. I don't think there's any problems with the second phase.

In its current state, this boss can:

teleport extremely close to the player
teleport and move very quickly at around half of max creepers.

What this results in is the boss teleporting to positions where it's completely unreasonable to expect anyone to dodge. Combined with how frequently he can do this as well as the high speed and small size of the creepers, more often than not he will keep doing it before the player can finish off the remaining creepers to enter phase 2. In my opinion this is extremely unfun and unfair. I think the fight could be made much more enjoyable with any one of the following changes:
a) increase the minimum distance around the player that he can teleport to
b) decrease the movement speed ramp up as he gets closer to phase 2
c) heavily decrease the teleport frequency ramp up as he gets closer to phase 2 (wouldn't solve the fundamental issue but would make it less likely to happen multiple times in a row)

**Slightly Rework Plantera to be Less Tentacle Focus**

(No reference to Malice) Currently Plantera even in Death Mode is not extremely difficult per se, but the problem is more that it is an engineer fight: have a good and large arena or the fight feels completely impossible.

While many people complain about poison cloud, I think the main problem is more that the tentacles are UNREASONABLY TANKY, to the point that any weapon without piercing/AOE do nothing to Plantera, which is on top of its beefy hp of 100k+. The tentacles massively extend Plantera's hitbox which make it impossible to fight without a large arena.

The following are examples ideas of how Plantera can be reworked:

Nerf the overall tentacle hp - they are unreasonably tanky in current version, maybe move it to Plantera's own hp pool instead
Alternative to 1), spawn less tentacle when transitioning to Phase 2
Since the tentacle hp nerf will be a massive nerf to Plantera, it should be compensated in some way. An example is giving it a proper charge. An example idea from me is to give it the Polterghast screenlock charge/cross attack but come from a horizontal position instead

**Move A Little Bit of Regen From Regen Sources to Give Player Natural Life Regen**

Most notably Cadance Potion and Ambrosial Ampoulse, but mainly Cadance Potion since not everyone will be using Ambrosial Ampoulse

Currently Cadance Potion give +4 life regen, which is +2 extra from its component Regeneration Potion. Considering Cadance Potion already combine useful effect such as Heartreach and Lifeforce, there is not much reason for a potion to have this much concentrated power. It should just give the 2 regen from its component.

Instead, this regeneration can be given to the player naturally so that players do not get punished so heavily for not using Cadance Potion. Considering Calamity already smooth out early game with increased movement and pickspeed, giving natural life regeneration is another way to help with progression.

Ideally the regeneration should scale with progression so that it is not overpowered at any point of the game. Eg: Pre-Hardmode: 1 natural life regen; Hardmode: 2 natural life regen; post-ML: 3 natural life regen

**Turn the Laudanum into an Expert or a Normal drop**

The Laudanum is an interesting accessory, a few updates ago, it used to boost your stats when inflicted by a now removed debuff, Horror.

Nowadays, all Revengence exclusive drops that arent related to Adrenaline or Rage were moved away to other difficulties... other than the Laudanum.
My suggestion is to simply move the Laudanum to either Normal or Expert, as it has no reason to stay as a Revengence exclusive.

**Make Storm Weaver's lightning orbs spawn from the tail**

Currently, Storm Weaver spawns the lightning orbs from the Lunatic Cultist attack about once every 5 seconds in a random position around the player. Now, despite a few attempts to prevent the lightning orb attack from spawning behind the player and unfairly hitting them, the lightning orb can still sometimes spawn behind the player, or at least, very nearly behind them. This can easily result in getting caught off guard and severely damaged out of seemingly nowhere, especially during the chaotic late stages of Storm Weaver's second phase.

Because of this, I suggest that instead of having its spawn be random, that it always be spawned on Storm Weaver's tail. The tail is the part of Storm Weaver which fits the most design-wise, and it could pose as an obstacle during the first phase, and as an effective counter against simply running away during second phase. However, this may require a compromising buff. Perhaps the orbs could shoot and spawn faster, or Storm Weaver could have his charges be faster.

**Change accessories that give bonuses for standing still to fluctuate their stats based on movement speed**

Items like Trinket of Chi, Draedon's heart, Shiny Stone, The Sponge/Absorber provide the player stat bonuses for standing still, and while these effects are strong, the unfortunate reality is their abilities are completely useless as in no circumstance will the player ever be standing still during a bossfight for any significance other than farming stealth. You could argue they are useful for farming regular enemies but nobody actually goes out of their way to pickup these items early or mid-game, and draedon's heart being an outlier, intended use for boss rush where malice exists gives it an additional completely niche purpose.
With the prominence of defense damage, there is no value in standing still as you will just be killed or possibly knocked back, removing the bonus.

I propose that these items provide stat bonuses at a falloff, allowing for the respective stat bonuses to increase based on the player's current movement speed, the lower the stronger, but not completely disappearing if the player moves.

Yharim's Crystal is by far one of the least original and exceedingly boring weapons in Post-ML. It's a challenge drop that just exists as a nearly 1:1 copy of a original vanilla weapon, Last Prism, when most other drops have far more interesting effects. Dark Spark at least has the decency to invert the use of Last Prism, but Yharim's Crystal is not only further in progression, but also a challenge drop with nothing unique. Giving it a more interesting effect beyond Last Prism but differently colored and more damage would go a long ways towards justifying this weapon's existence.

To put it simply the first laser wave (or tooth for AS) after the boss spawned are fired at super fast rate compare to usual (and only the first wave of projectile). Rather than sequentially firing the projectile, the first wave fires from all segment of worm bosses almost all at once.

This creates unfair and most of the time undodgeable pattern, and I assume this is more of an oversight as this don't seem like an intended behaviour. If this behaviour is due to uncoiling/segments too close together, then worm bosses should not fire projectile during the initial uncoiling phase to prevent this behaviour.

**Make the Underworld override the Hallow when calculating Providence’s drops.**

My Hallow generated on top of my hellevator, so whenever I tried to quickly summon Providence after reaching the Underworld for the Elysian Aegis, the game thought she was summoned in the Hallow rather than the Underworld so I ended up getting Elysian Wings at the end of the fight. I had to fight her again to get the Aegis. This seems like more of an oversight than anything, so a fix would be great.

**Show the segments of Desert Scourge, The perforators, Aquatic Scourge, Astrum Deus, Storm Weaver, and DOG phase 1 on the mini map.**

So far, only DOG phase 2 and XM-05 Thanatos have all their segments showing on the mini map, while other worm bosses only have the head showing (and the tail for dog phase 1), i think it would make sense to show the segments on almost all the worm bosses on the mini map just due to its nature of having multiple segments and so thanatos and dog phase 2 arent the only ones who have those showing.
EOW and Destroyer could be put under a maybe, segments showing on the map could apply to just the calamity bosses or could also be applied to vanilla bosses. (Although eow splits, that might be an issue)

DoG has cool sprite and epic music in the game.He also plays an important role in background lore.
But DoG has become one of the easiest PL-bosses in the game now.Especially his phase 1 attack,there is no difficulty at all.You can dodge his lasers and charge by simply moving.
Of course，DoG doesn't show his true power in phase 1.But Yharon still has various dangerous attacks in his phase 1.So it's reasonable to make phase 1 DoG a true battle too.
bty phase 2 DoG is also apparently easier than Providence, Yharon, Draedon and SCal.Maybe we should buff DoG overall.

**Rework the Arcane modifier**

Calamity has been tweaking accessory reforges for a while, and in 1.5 all of them feel equally useful (Menacing, un-nerfed Lucky, buffed Warding, buffed Quick, Violent, and Silent). Arcane's effect, +20 max mana, still feels incredibly worthless and bad, as mage weapons consume mana far too quickly anyway. Mana Flower further invalidates it, because mana potions restore a fixed amount which cannot be increased by any means, so the benefits of more max mana are felt for about one second. Making it do something else, like reduce mana consumption or increase mana potion effectiveness, would give it a fighting chance among the rest of the reforges and line up with what Calamity does to reforges overall.

Instead of it just simply being a 1 block wide box, it could instead be that along side a visual shader that applies itself to the area outside of the box (think of the parallax scrolling effect used by Gruesome Eminence.)

**Have the Skeleton Merchant sell Unsafe Spider Walls**

With the 1.4 update around the corner, and the introduction of (Safe) Spider Walls being craftable at Ecto Mist, I think the introduction of Unsafe Spider Walls, along with making them purchasable from the Skeleton Merchant would be a reasonable change to make. The reason to put it in the Skeleton Merchant's shop table is it has a similar logic to putting Unsafe Dungeon Walls in the Clothier's shop table, after beating Skeletron, Unsafe Dungeon Walls become purchaseable from the NPC that is tied with the thing that locked the progression to that area. Skeleton Merchant and the Spider biome are both associated with deep exploration of the Cavern and Underground layers, so putting them together only seems logical. Not to mention the rarity of the Skeleton Merchant keeps it just as rare as the biome itself. An alternative could be putting them in the Witch Doctor's shop table due to both being associated with summoning, and having a similar progression lock as the Clothier.

The reason these seem like a reasonable item to add is the same reason selling dungeon walls is reasonable. While the Dungeon is more important in Calamity due to being linked with bosses, I don't see any reason to not allow the player to be able to set up this biome just like any other in the mod. Even Brimstone Craig can be move to the surface if the player so desires, so I see no reason not to do it here.

Make it impossible for BoC to basically telefrag.

Basically, he can never teleport within a certain distance of the player.

This change may only apply when Armageddon is active

The reason is because, especially in Armageddon, being hit because the boss literally teleported on top of you is not exactly fair.

The BoC could teleport anywhere else, even very annoying spots that make it a pain to maneuver, but atleast that could be avoided with enough practice. There is no predicting where BoC is gonna teleport, so he can just spawn on top of you....which is not fair when playing Armageddon, and gives the whole fight an element of uncontrollable luck and RNG....which is not good.

So making the boss not being able to teleport within a certain range of the player, with that range being potentially increased in malice to compensate for his increased speed, will make the boss fairer and more balanced.

**Change and or Tweak some of the weird tiering of the new Early HM Changes**

Corroded Fossils
The Corroded Fossil gear is a rather small, yet quite significant one, holding many great and interesting weapons unlocked by Acid Rain's Second tier, after Aquatic Scourge, right?
Well.. not exactly, while you can get the Fossils, and all of the other ingredients for the gear right after AS, which is fightable before any mech boss, they still require Mythril / Orichalcum Anvils, effectively disconnecting these drops from AS and the Acid Rain until you defeat a mech, leading to these weapons being disconnected from the tier their material is achieved at, and so making them become forgotten due to lack of connection to their "roots".
I suggest moving these recipes to the normal Anvil, to allow these weapons to be made right after AS / AR2, due to reasons above.

Cryonic / Daedalus
Currently, Cryonic ore generates in the Tundra immediately after Cryogen's defeat, a boss fightable before any mech boss.
The Cryonic ore he spawns is, however, not obtainable until Adamantite / Titanium AKA Second mech boss.
This leads to another inconsistency in the tiering of a thematically related ore / arsenal, and the respective boss / event its locked away from.

**Provide a New, Weaker Version of Counter Scarf That Is Craftable In Expert Mode**

Ever since 1.5 moves challenge item (CI) to Malice mode, there had been complains on moving them back to RIV which are invalid as the new CI are balanced for the increased difficulty of Malice Mode. However, one item that stands out which is not directly superior to SoC is the Counter Scarf.

The most notable feature of the Counter Scarf compare to SoC is that it is a dash rather than a bash, and allows player to pass through in contact with projectile or enemy rather than bounce back, while SoC provides infinite bash immunity with no cooldown. Most of the time SoC is superior to Counter Scarf (especially for Malice), but many people prefer Counter Scarf due to the playstyle (freedom/zero downside of movement). Another point is that most of the old Rev converted CI are superior version of an item on/around the same tier, with the exception of Counter Scarf having no inferior version of it.

Thus, an easy way to fix both the complains and player's demand and also for the consistency of CI, a new item (such as crafted from Shield of Cthulhu) which provides similar function to Counter Scarf (in that it is a dash) but with inferior effect (such as providing only knockback-immunity on cooldown rather than complete immunity) can be a way to fix both problems with 1 item.

**True melee weapons should have access to a parry option**

True melee is currently very risky to pull off, and leaves the player very open to take damage from bosses and enemies. Giving these weapons the ability to parry would allow these weapons to be far more dynamic in their combat style, as well as test the player’s skills in more ways than simply proper spacing.

The only example of this currently is from the Brand of the Inferno weapon, obtained from the Old One’s Army event. It has a parry function(with a tight parry window), which then turns into a simple blocking ability if you hold down M2. It grants a buff on a successful parry and is generally a fun weapon to use.

This option would open up the True Melee subclass a lot, and it’s potential addition could add a lot of options for players to approach combat.

**Make Malice Mode Duke Fishron and Providence easier**

Me and my friends have been doing malice mode play throughs, and all of the other bosses have been fine, albeit taking up to 10 tries per boss (thanks for the unlimited summons), but Duke Fishron and Prrovidence are just so unreasonably hard.

Lets start with Duke Fishron: When he goes into the invisible faze, being so fast makes him almost impossible to hit. Additionally, most homing weapons at this point in progression (specifically mage), move so slowly the projectiles despawn before they hit him. He also 2 shots you if you're using any build other than max tank melee, making the fight as any other class almost impossible unless you can no hit him (which none of us can). Making a boss need to be no hit is just bad game design. Now you may say, "but malice mode is supposed to be hard." If that's the case, why can I do Malice mode moon lord first try using gear that I couldn't beat duke with? I would suggest making him significantly slower and making him go invisible much later in the fight.

Now onto Providence: I don't even know where to begin. Let's start with it being night time providence. Her moon lord style laser attack does 800-1000 damage through my armor, which is more damage than I have health. This means I just die if you're I'm not playing max tank melee. Me and my friends found providence so difficult in fact that we just decided to do Polterghast and the Sentinels of the Devourer first and then use their gear to kill Providence because we couldn't get any armor upgrades until then. Either this means Polterghast is super easy, or providence is just was too hard. Just reduce her damage so she isn't a boss that one shots people. Providence having a one-shot attack makes the game go from being frustrating and still fun to being unfun. Also, the fact that she doesn't drop both the shield and the wings on a Malice mode kill is stupid.

**Please rework Necroplasm’s clone.**

I must apologize for saying this, but I believe that Polterghast is one of the least fun bosses in calamity. It’s really hard to predict and there’s a lot going on so most of the time it’s hard to tell what’s hitting you, and I’ve admittedly never beaten it without having to cheese it.

I think a big part of this is the clone. Having the boss create a clone of itself to become more difficult just feels really cheap and artificial. I don’t think it should be removed entirely, that seems like it’d be too extreme of a change but I think it could be reworked a little to make more sense.

Even if it’s just making the clone killable or something, that could help a bit. I think it’d be interesting if the clone only appeared during an attack like being launched from the main ghast like a projectile. I think having it pursue you the whole time just isn’t very fun at all, especially if it’s Rev so it appears for 50% of the fight. I do think Polterghast has a lot of potential and it’s a good idea for a boss, but it could certainly use some work.

**Add drill counterparts for the pickaxes that the mod already adds**

Adding them would make the game more consistent with vanilla, considering calamity- although being very different from vanilla- isn't totally against the vanilla style. Due to it being modded, you could get a lot more creative with them. Maybe giving them more of a purpose than a different type of pickaxe. Adding them would also give drills more modded representation, which they don't really have.

In terms of how this would fit with the mod at all, and how they would be implemented, one way
I think it could be added is via the new Draedon materials. With drills usually being a lot more mechanical than pickaxes, having them be added with the new plating and circuitry would allow them to fit that aesthetic. There's also no pickaxes made using the new materials, which is a opportunity for them to fit into place. Not cluttering up any other mechanical tools.

It simply doesn't make sense that a giant dragon who summons massive tornadoes made of fire and spits out bullet hells of flames constantly is associated with the jungle.

However this leads to a circular argument since the only real reason the two bosses are locked to the jungle is because Yharon has Jungle in his name.

Give indicator to Nebulous Core

When I'm fighting boss i sometimems switch to Nebulous Core so i can get revived, but I sometimes don't know if i was revived or when will the cooldown end. It would be a nice thing to see when you use the revive and the cooldown of it. So please add some mark for like it had the Godslayer Armor pre 1.5 passive.

**Make a toggle on or off for the invisibility potion**

Like the rogue armor set, there is a option to disable the visual of invisibility (and the upgrade too) on our character, it would be cool if we have that on the potions we're using because we use theses potions for the rogue class to buff us and invisibility is kinda annoying in this game because there is a lot of bullets to dodge and if we can't see our character during a heavy fight it's kinda lame.

**Make the background pitch-black again during the Boss Rush Cal/ML/SCal fights**

All of those fights have a lot of projectiles, and the black background in the fights is incredibly helpful for actually seeing the projectiles, especially in the Cal/SCal bullet hell phases. However, in the Boss Rush, the background is lit up. That makes the projectiles a lot harder to see, which results in unfair hits. Restoring the black background would be immensely helpful for these fights. (Also, the Cal/SCal bullet hell projectiles look kind of ugly with the Boss Rush background)

**Nerf the Speed or Change the Behaviour of Malice Astrum Aureus**

Difficulty is subjective is an understandable argument for Malice. One fight that stands out completely is Astrum Aureus, the fight is beatable, however the fight incentivize only 1 playstyle so much that it become one of the most unfun Malice fight due to it being tedium and frustration.

This is his behaviour in a nutshell: 1) he constantly outspeed the player (assuming post-Plantera); 2) he adjust his jumps to your current position and slam down the second he arrive on top of you; 3) he constantly fire spreads of projectile that cover a massive area and generally leave no room to dodge between them

All of these combine to become a fight where: i) he always catch up no matter how far you are; ii) spam projectile in your face that is generally undodgeable (due to his positioning being too close to you) and on top of that, slightly predictive; iii) after he jump onto you, if you are not using a slime mount, he simply fall faster than you (and catch up), this means all downward movement are generally death sentence

Because of how the boss behave, the only way to reliably (if at all) to beat it is to have a massive arena due to the large amount of horizontal space required to efficiently dodge the boss; to mainpulate its jump AI so that it never does his superman jump; and to abuse the fact that with maxed out movement speed his attack automiss when running in a straight line. This leaves no room to strategize other than max speed or die.

As it stands, these accessories are not very strong or particularly viable, with the exception of the counter scarf.

**give the class-specific post-DoG accessories that don’t already have it (elemental quiver, ethereal talisman, elemental gauntlet) something more than just a stat blend**

Two post-dog accessories that are class specific (these two being Nucleogenesis for summoner and Nanotech for rogue) give a chance for extra projectiles for be created when using a weapon or hitting an enemy. Though these may not add lots of dps, they make using the weapons of those classes feel more special/unique and powerful just by how it looks, and make it feel like more of an upgrade rather than combination. This change would especially be helpful for mage and ranger, whose post dog accessories (quiver, talisman) are very basic in their functionalities beside stat bonuses. what makes genesis and nanotech more unique is how they combine the bonuses of their parts to create more than just a stat blend of their components: nucleogenesis combines astral explosions and two sets of debuffs into one accesory that inflicts both sets of debuffs and summons sparks. nanotech combines the moonstone crowns lunar flares and moon sigils into nanoblades and nanobeams. the elemental gauntlet for example could have a different projectile summoning or just different effect for true melee strikes, and ranger could have an effect that interacts with the point-black mechanic.

It should be said that this isn’t asking for elemental quiver to be reverted back to pre-1.5 with the splitting projectiles, however.

**Increase the droprate of Cosmilite Bars *or* Add Cosmilite Ore**

Cosmilite Bars currently only drop from the Devourer of Gods, and are used in a lot of recipes, not including the armor (which is needed for Auric Tesla, btw) which alone requires 55 bars, or the many accessory or weapon upgrades which require anywhere from 5-15 bars each. DoG currently (in expert+) drops 30-39 bars. The average player would need to kill DoG at least 5 times for the armor, a few accessory upgrades, and a couple weapons, in addition to the Cosmic Anvil. Completionist players require Cosmilite Bars in the hundreds, necessitating grinding DoG for them.

The easy solution is to make DoG drop about 60-70 bars on death, which would require only about 2-3 kills for the average player, and making the grind for Cosmilite much less timetasking. A harder but more organic solution would be to add a system similar to Yharon and the new Mech bosses where after the Devourer of Gods' death, Cosmilite Ore would spawn underground in large chunks, and could be crafted into Cosmilite Bars.

While this is not a Calamity only problem, it is especially obvious in Calamity with the various potions buffs, cooldowns, armor set and accessory bonuses Calamity provides. The player often have way too many buffs (even just from armor and accessory alone) especially for classes like summoner, which significantly limit the amount of potion they can use compare to other classes.

A solution is to increase the amount of buff slots by combining various similar-type buff slot under one (most notably summoner, such as all summons use the same buff slot) OR to make buff and debuff use independent amount of buff slots so that a debuff applied never override a buff

Make material boss drops able to be farmed with enemies instead of bosses after you beat the boss

An example would be slime god. If you kill slime god, you can either kill slimes for a chance at more purified gel, kill a brand new enemy that drops it, or kill the Blight Slimes for the purified gel

Another could also be getting divine geode from the profaned enemies (scorn eater, impious immolator, etc) post providence.

The reason for this is that not everyone wants to grind the same boss over and over again. It can get quite tedious, and can even ruin a first time playthrough as the initial triumph can be overshadowed by grinding for the boss (such as in the case of DoG)

Again, not everyone wants to grind a boss. Some people are one and done and it wouldn't hurt to be able to have alternative ways of farming some items (such as killing hell enemies for twisted nether, dungeon enemies for dark plasma, and sky enemies for armored shell.)

People had always been complaining about DoG even in Death Mode being way too passive and tend to be way too easy compare to Providence and Yharon. Malice DoG is not as difficult as other Malice bosses yet his difficulty will fit perfectly as a Death Mode fight. It is intense, he is always aggressive and to some degree relentless and don't give the player any breathing room, which are massive improvement over the original Dmode version without making him unfair.

Thus the current version of Malice DoG (except the random close range super speedup as that exist but not as drastic in Death Mode) should be the baseline Death Mode fight of DoG

**Add Non-Consumable or Faster Spawn Methods for Duke Fishron & Old Duke**

Even with recent changes, getting their summons before beating them for the first time is still quite tedious.

Having easier spawn methods will make these bosses less of a hassle to beat for the first time, especially on harder difficulties, and we won't need to rely on QoL mods to fix the issue. The fact that it takes so long to farm their summons just feels overly punishing for losing the fight and for newer calamity players they may end up just skipping the fight because of how much extra effort these fights take to do compared to the required bosses.

Bosses like wall of flesh are fine due to the frequent spawn of voodoo demons which can now be controlled. Supreme Calamitas' summon can easily be farmed by killing Calamitas Clone. The dukes just take so much work to summon in comparison.

Ephemeral already has an indicator for how much damage you're doing, but other enchantments like Bloodthirsty, Resentful, and Withering don't. Since the Ephemeral enchantment already has one, it's difficult to see why other enchantments can't be granted a helpful UI element as well, especially ones that are similar, or even more complex, and don't immediately allow the player to know what the enchantment is doing (like Withering, which is potentially lethal, and Bloodthirsty/Resentful, which are somewhat vague in nature). This would definitely make them less troublesome to use, especially in intense situations.

**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.

**Make Queen Bee's Larva only destroyable though digging**

A large amount of weapons in Terraria, including ones introduced in the Calamity mod, have the ability to attack enemies through walls. When fighting in or near the Jungle, these weapons have a tendency to destroy larva within beehives and spawn Queen Bee. If this happens in pre-hardmode, it both robs the player of a free Queen Bee summon and unfairly kills the player because Rev+ Queen Bee basically requires an arena because of her fast acceleration within blocks and you aren't able to recall while a boss is alive anymore. If this happens in hardmode (for example, while searching for Life Fruit or fighting Plantera/Plaguebringer Goliath), Queen Bee will interrupt what the player is doing and force them to deal with a hazard that they couldn't have predicted would come. While Queen Bee doesn't deal a lot of damage to hardmode characters, she does still deal defense damage and inflict knockback, making whatever enemies/bosses the player is supposed to be fighting much more difficult than they should be.

TL;DR: Nobody likes accidentally waking up Queen Bee with weapons that attack through walls, and there are a lot of weapons that can do that.

Demon altars can be broken with a pwnhammer or above, but this no longer serves any purpose normally.

This would make the early hardmode grind for souls and/or essence less annoying and give a use to these now mostly useless objects.

Edit: They already drop souls of night (I wasn't aware of this) I think it would be helpful to make them drop souls of light as well, even if it's fewer of them.

**Rework the Aquatic Aberration and the Parasea, and prevent them from spawning outside the Leviathan fight**

The Leviathan compensates for low attack variety by spawning minions. However, both of them are quite basic and contribute to little more than boss servant bloat. On top of this, they can spawn naturally at the ocean post-Clone/Plant, becoming a massive annoyance if you’re trying to wait for ??? to spawn.
Aquatic Aberration is the primary offender. Its behavior (Corite AI) tends to force players into a single movement pattern, and hard punish them for not using it by overlapping their attacks with Levi’s meteors. They are also very tanky, so any lack of DPS can ruin your day.
Parasea contributes very little to the fight, as you’ll be moving around so much that it drifts far out of range. I often see them bunched up in clouds stuck on top of Levi, and never get hit by them at all.
Giving these two new AI, such as coordinating their attacks with Levi’s, would contribute greatly to the otherwise bland Leviathan fight (although Anahita is perfectly fine) and make them less irritating to deal with.

**Give telegraphs to the locations that Anahita's projectiles spawn at**

With the way Anahita's ring attacks work, she is able to spawn projectiles directly on top of you (or at least at a distance where dodging is impossible) without warning if you're moving too fast. Normally this is incentive to take a slow and methodical approach to the fight, but that goes out the window when Leviathan is also present and forces you to make large, fast movements; in short, this often results in nearly-unavoidable damage. Adding some kind of indicator (maybe some sort of spark/glow with the color depending on which of her 3 projectiles she's using) that appears 0.5 ~ 1 seconds at the locations the projectiles spawn at before they actually appear would at least make them predictable, encouraging slowing down to dodge them while still making it possible to avoid them when dodging the Leviathan's attacks.

(edit: apparently there's an audio telegraph, but I don't consider it very effective at telegraphing the attack considering that it's not very clear and happens when the attack is fired rather than before it, so the point still stands)

**Move evil islands down a bit or override the sky biome **

Evil islands usually spawn in a place where the sky biome overrides the evil. A large purpose of evil islands is to allow the player to fight the alternate second evil boss(Hive Mind/Perforators) which need a cyst to first spawn. This is hard to get to spawn when the biome most of the time does not permit cysts to spawn. Moving evil islands down maybe around 15-30 blocks could ensure that they are not sky biome and cysts can spawn in them. Additionally, even if you do manage to get the boss to spawn, you still have to worry about gravity which can easily become an annoyance in the fight. If the islands were moved down this would be less of an issue.

A different solution could also be to override the sky biome somehow. It could work much better than moving evil islands down which could cause issues on smaller worlds, however I do not know how it would work or if it is possible. This solution also does not fix the gravity issue unless a gravity override was somehow made but that is completely different territory.

**Make Rev+ Wall of Flesh slower overall.**

The Wall of Flesh is a tricky boss to prepare for because of the horizontal space required for the fight, combined with the Underworld’s terrain and the buildings that can block your path towards the fight’s end. In rev+, this becomes more problematic due to WoF’s speed boosts.

WoF’s excess speed forces constant movement, makes it harder to outrun, discourages hiding behind terrain, punishes trip-ups due to natural terrain, and pushes you towards the buildings faster. However, the potential for trip-ups and running into the buildings only forces more preparation, and WoF’s rev+ dash already discourages hiding and outrunning.

Making rev+ WoF slower overall - e.g. by removing/greatly toning down its speed boost and/or speed ramping - would allow the use of less arena space/preparation with significantly less punishment. Though the fight would shift from constant, high-speed movement to slower and more methodical, I believe it’s a worthy trade-off for less arena preparation.

Angelic alliance is a very powerful accessory but it becomes weak with endgame summons like endogenesis or temporal umbrella, i think it will be more consistent and balanced if the number of summoned archangels be based on used summon slots instead of number of existing summons (for example 1 archangel for half a slot used)

**Either Make Emblems Interechangeable at a Cost or Unify All Accessory Requiring Specific Emblems to Use Avenger Emblem Instead**

Calamity had been adding many vanilla-altering features for the sake of Quality of Life, most notably unconsumable boss and events summon, gems spawn, hardmode ore spawn amount, craftable accessories and so on. However, WoF emblems drop still remain one of the things relying on complete rng drop and have no alternative way of acquisition.

Combine with the requirement for Guide to respawn (which may take time even with boosted spawnrate from mod config) and expending a Guide Voodoo Doll for each try, it may quickly become frustration after 20 tries for not getting the class-specific emblems you need, especially at the start of Hardmode where because of the new Hardmode progression change, WoF is not trivialized at all.

Besides directly using them as accessory for damage boost, class-specific emblems are required for some accessories, listing: i) Yharim's Insignia, ii) Artemis Emblem, iii) Statis' Blessing, iv) Nanotech, and v) Vampiric Talisman. However, the suggestion interpretation can already be seen from Sigil of Calamitas, which requires Celestial Emblem that is crafted from Avenger Emblems (or even Necklace of Vexation for Yharim's Insignia) the idea is definitely not out of the way.

*Add at least one rogue class weapon too the auric bar line*

There are no rogue class weapons that are built with auric bars, which for 1. Makes auric bars somewhat unexciting.

Also, I understand there are two weapons in this tier that are dropped from Yharon but that doesn't give a lot of choice for this class in terms of weapons, so getting some more weapons (least one built from auric bars) would make a material more exciting and also bring it up to speed with other classes.

(And also itll be nice to have a rogue weapon in this tier that isnt FIRE EVERYWHERE)

**Add a visual indicator for the range of holy inferno**

Holy inferno is intended to limit how far you can be from providence, but it sometimes doesn't feel like that. Often you'll just be moving away from Providence and suddenly you'll be blinded and take extreme damage without any warning. A visual indicator, such as a ring of flames, could be extremely useful to prevent accidentally triggering the debuff. It would also help new players figure out why they're taking damage suddenly; on platforms such as Reddit I've seen new players complain about how they randomly start dying without knowing the reason. A visual indicator would tell new players "don't go beyond this point" and avoid a lot of confusion. It would also be nice to have the debuff radius shrink slowly before the cocoon phase starts, instead of just suddenly shrinking and catching far-away players off guard.

**Rework Astrum Aureus ~~again~~**

Aureus’ fight is extremely boring even on death mode where its just running away from it while dodging an assortment of projectiles and the Aureus spawns, the fight is not much of a challenge especially with how fast the player can move now even with little investment.

The fight is extremely simplistic and the only way its made harder is making it faster and rest less; compared it to Anahita and Leviathan’s complexity and area denial, Aureus is just way too simple for a post-Plantera boss as it has few attacks, Anahita herself already has more than Aureus does.

Making it more complex would allow it to be far more intriguing as a post-Plantera boss, distance it even more from the simplicity of Astragledon and make the fight more fun overall.

An idea to make it better could be giving him some form of area denial or disruption, can be another minion or a new projectile so its harder to run away or stay too much time on one spot, that way making the fight more engaging.

**Make the boss phase timer a Death/Malice exclusive (or just remove it)**

The boss phase timer makes bosses enter their next phase early if the fight has lasted too long. For the most part, I like this feature, but its presence in Revengeance feels a bit unnecessary. On bosses with a lot of phases, it can make one extra-annoying phase last an unnecessarily long time, for which the average player couldn't last. If you can't deal damage fast enough, you are often forced into an attack you weren't expecting, e.g. Duke Fishron's final phase in Death mode. Both of these are quite noticeable on Yharon.
The phase timer makes more sense in Death or Malice with the way these modes are designed overall, but Revengeance shouldn't quite have a mechanic this punishing.

Instead of giving bosses like Duke and Yharon invincibility during their phase transitions, just give them 100% dr

When bosses go invincible, that makes it impossible to dash through them using accessories such as Asgard's valor. While changing it to 100% dr would allow some specific debuffs and the coldheart icicle to still do full damage to the boss, It would overall still be good because it prevents cheap hits that would have otherwise been dashed through.

**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 / all class 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 armor set bonus, 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.

**Switch the Boss Rush boss AIs from strictly Malice to being able to be changed (Rev, Death, Malice)**

Currently, boss rush feels extremely unfun and exhausting to play, as the bosses (most notably Calclone, Scal, and Yharon) are extremely fast and demand that they be killed as quickly as possible in order to remain alive or not get knocked by about 90% of your health by single hits.
The Scarlet Devil/Celestus, Eternity, and Universe Splitter appear to be the only viable weapons when it comes to Boss Rush as other endgame weapons such as Triactisus’ Hammer, Murasama, Soma Prime, etc. feel like they kill bosses/get to next phases take way too long before getting hit by random shit or overrun by speed (via Malice AI), therefore rendering a vast majority of even Shadowspec tier items worthless. SCal is unbearable even when not nohitting, as it does not matter whether or not the player is in revengeance or death prior to the start, will instantly convert her projectile speed and quantity to Malice levels of difficulty. Damage/Health should remain the same, as balancing PreHM bosses to endgame equipment should still be very high, though the AI should at least be knocked down to Death (if it were to remain defaulted at a set difficulty) in order to keep the game mode fun and fair for the player at least to an extent

**Buff or remove the Hellkite**

The Hellkite deals approximately 900 DPS per target with a melee build available right after killing Plantera. This sounds decent, but it's significantly lower than the weapons available the tier before it. For example, with the same gear the Ghastly glaive (old one's army tier 2 weapon with similar range and good crowd control) deals 1600 DPS per target, and the floodtide deals between 800 to 1600 dps depending on how close you are to the enemy and how many of it's projectiles hit, meaning that the Hellkite at it's best has DPS equal to the floodtide (previous tier) at range, and close up the floodtide has double the DPS on a single target.

To summarize, the Hellkite has half the DPS that weapons from the tier below it have in most circumstances, and doesn't make up for it with range. It might be better against groups, but there aren't many circumstances with large groups of enemies at that tier

**Make Adrenaline Damage Scale Harder With Progression/Adrenaline Upgrades**

Adrenaline had been a significant balancing concern, particularly in pre-HM where Adrenaline tend to completely melt most of the bosses. While it is not as much of an issue after early-HM as bosses gain more DR, it completely trivialize many pre-HM bosses.

The main problem is that Adrenaline's base value is too high, at +200% damage boost from the get go and only get upgraded to +245% at the end of the game. Pre-HM bosses tend to have no or very low DR therefore they get melted by Adrenaline for more than 50% of their total HP.

The suggestion is that Adrenaline should start off with a lower base value and scale much more significantly with each upgrade obtained. This will not only make each Adrenaline upgrades much more impactful but also potentially make filling the Adrenaline meter against late game bosses (which are considerably harder to no-hit) more rewarding.

Right now there are a good amount of rogue weapons which stealth strikes only add projectiles without any other adjustments (like Sticky Spiky Balls, Seafoam Bomb, Refraction Rotor and The Atom Splitter). This seemed understandable back when stealth as a mechanic needed these as stealth strikes, but now that stealth mechanic is revamped and there are internal stealth factors that help with balancing stealth strikes, stealth strikes can slowly discard the "this but just add more of the existing projectiles in the same event" mindset, and aim towards more creative stealth strikes that would help support the burst damage gameplay in the future.

**Remove or severely decrease effects of Timed aggression**

To quickly establish what this mechanics is, timed aggression sets a timer on every boss after spawn, and forces a phase change if the fight is taking too long, essentially a punishment for having low DPS.
This mechanic and RDR force the player to fit into this small gap to always deal "average damage" no matter the tier. And such designing really limits creative approach, as it forces linear gameplay, something that Calamity has actively attempted to ignore in the past. If you're too underpowered, you'll have to worry about early attack patterns (presumably) making the fight more difficult, when being underprepared already accomplishes this on it's own. Not only that, but it makes learning and understanding bossfights much more difficult. If any newer player attempts a boss and are not properly geared for the fight or prioritize movement over damage for sustainability, suddenly the fight becomes less predictable as phase changes happen at different percentages, all because of a preference.

Every post-Plantera dungeon magic weapon (Spectre Staff, Inferno Fork, Shadowbeam Staff, Magnet Sphere) are all available to be bought from the Wizard after Golem has been defeated, so why not Wrath of the Ancients? Wrath of the Ancients is also a material for The Dance of Light.

**Add a Focusing Ability for homing items, Similar to Vanilla's Summoning Homing. Homing items being Summoning Accessories, Rogue(not the class) homing projectiles, and the like that don't come to mind**

I'm not talking Nanoblack Reaper levels absurd, just a little bit of a bias, as chlorophyte normally goes to the closest, not necessarily the most useful kill. Something that comes to mind is the fungal clump, pretty useless all around unless you just have a free slot anyways. It would be significantly easier to use if you could swap from a main weapon to said suggested item, and tell it to target, for example, one of the slime gods, rather than the random enemy spawns they cause. Another example that comes to mind, that I could easily say has killed me a few times, Chlorophyte bullets. I've been screwed over many times by them focusing a small enemy spawn, rather than a boss. A good example would be targeting Plantera Tentacles as the bosses' health runs down to almost nothing. This part could just be me being very easily irritable, but another thing I can compare it to is Golem's Fist targeting vs targeting the body in phase 2.

**Slime Rain gets buffed as you progress**

The slime rain is boring after early game, but it keeps happening regardless of your progression (at least if RNG wills it).
I think it would be fun in hardmode and beyond (more fun than keeping it as is or removing it) if each type of slime available in the world was added to slime rain as they are unlocked. There could be exclusive kinds of slimes that drop various materials like the hardmode ores and lunar pillar materials as well.

One more thing, an item to summon the slime rain would be useful if the rest of these changes were added.

These changes would let you use the slime rain to farm materials in a way that would provide a nice change of pace every once in a while, and make it at least a little more exciting and challenging when it happens.

**Treat Betsy as a boss for AI changes in different difficulties**

Betsy, to me atleast, seems like a boss. And the terraria wiki, though not putting it on the 'bosses' section of the front page, still describes Betsy as a 'boss' on the page for Betsy. Though Betsy is unchanged (in terms of AI) in any difficulty and always does the same things in every difficulty from classic to malice. I am suggesting for that to change and to give revengeance/death/malice mode effects to Betsy, and maybe even an expert change for Betsy (though that is a base game thing and you might not want to change it) because Betsy is the only boss not to get any improvements, this may not be much added, just a few small things here and there for rev+(/expert+ if you want to) changes but it'd be a welcome change for the mod as a whole.

**Malice Providence should always drop both exclusive items.**

Malice Providence is, imo, one of the hardest bosses of the mod, especially for the point of progression at which you're meant to take her on. Even after DoG, she's far away from an easy fight. However, if you beat her at day time, she won't drop both the Elysian Wings and the Elysian Aegis, in spite of the fact she's the same as at night. If she's enraged anyway, may as well drop both items!
This inconsistency is further highlighted by the fact that apparently, in the code, items such as the legendary Pristine Fury, the Warbanner and basically any other mode/time exclusive drop is checked for Night OR Malice - except for the Aegis and the Wings where this check is missing, and only the Night criteria is accounted for.

Look, I know that they’re the second hardest boss and they’re supposed to be insane but I just think Ares isn’t very fun to fight at all. I love the other 2 (3?) Mechs but Ares is just not fun at all.

My biggest problem is the predictive attacks. It sounds good in-theory but it just feels really cheap and frustrating in-game. The fact that Ares simply hovers above you the whole fight makes this worse. I think just adding a warning before the weapons would make it much easier to handle and a lot more fun. Even if it’s just a sound cue or something would be fine, or a laser pointer like Artemis has would be okay. Also maybe make Apollo’s missiles easier to see, they blend with the dark background.

**Rework Ares' Gauss Nuke and Make Exo Mechs Set an Arena**

Exo Mechs is famous for taking a massive arena to fight (to the point of world-size slanted platform). While such arena is not a hard requirement, the fact that simply falling for the entire world is a viable, in fact optimized strategy is a problem. Alternative solution such as increasing predictiveness of attacks do not solve the problem and will only make fighting Exo Mechs in an non-absurd size arena even harder.

A big contributor to this problem is Ares' Gauss Nuke: it fires sparks in random pattern and also the nuke itself with massive AOE which the only reliable way to dodge it is to move away from it. This purely-zoning attack had become more of a limitation of the fight than just an attack as it forces a massive arena.

On the other hand by setting an arena, preferably one with substantial horizontal space (eg: 1.5k wide on Cell phone display) and sufficient vertical space (eg: cover most of surface to space, around 600 Cell Phone), the Exo Mechs' fight experience can be improved much better. Exo Twins attacks are perfectly dodgeable in a relatively small amount of space; Thanatos attacks, while taking a lot of horizontal space to dodge, is still reasonably executable; and Ares' attack no longer have to cover massive areas just because they will otherwise simply miss without an arena. The lack of arena had became a limiting factor of how the fight can be designed and the solution to this problem is to give it one.

Showcased in this video is an arena similar to the one described (Coordinate: 1500 horizontal x 600 vertical). With by no means perfect performance, this proves that the fight is definitely possible with an arena. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1253540728

**Make iron heart have an alternative way to heal during combat**

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 they use it to meme with acronyms (DADI, MAID, etc)
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, are inconsistent and not that powerful on higher difficulties 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 or anothr method would give a more reliable way to heal across the game, regardless of gear. By making enemies and bosses occasionally give some healing from any way 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.

With Calamity's cross-class summoner nerf, it become super unreasonable for most classes to defend both ongoing waves and fight Betsy all at the sametime. Most classes simply lack both the single target to kill Betsy quickly and the multi-target to clear wave properly.

Betsy items is the main reason for doing OOA besides medal (which do not require beating final waves), and seeing Calamity acknowledge the tedium of OOA by giving a skip option, it seems reasonable to make the final wave not as absurd.

Doing this will also make giving Betsy Revengeance/Death buff or new moves more reasonable.

Bosses that should have block piercing includes: King Slime's Crown Jewel, Perforator Hives projectile (why only Malice), Cryogen, The Twins (cursed flame and laser), Destroyer Laser, Brimstone Elemental's laser (sometime it get stucked on ceiling ash blocks), and PBG's plague nuke barrage (it pierce only if you hide behind a block before it fired, it don't pierce if you hide behind a block after a barrage is fired).

**Rework/Fix the StormLion Summon weapon**

Currently the Storm Lion summon (or the Stormjaw staff) is one of the only viable options for desert scourge as a summoner (the others not having very many piecing capabilities) and is by far the best option, but there’s multiple annoying and fiddly problems with the staff.

Problem 1 is the fact it can’t go through platforms/follow the player down platforms. This is super annoying as whenever fighting bosses like desert scourge I don’t want to be focussing on re summoning my minions over and over again, I instead want to be dodging. It also means it’s very fiddly and hard to work with.

Problem 2, can easily be spawned in blocks and get stuck often. Half of the time while I’m roaming the caves I summon them near an enemy and they get stuck in a block, I can’t quite say when as it happens on so many different occasions but I will say it happens more with hammered blocks.

Problem 3, don’t fly back to player often enough. Once again I’m having to re summon these guys constantly as they always end up somewhere else, get stuck in a block or is still fighting an enemy even though it’s a mile away. The summon should not be able to go this far away from you and should fly back at least when it’s about to go off screen, this happens so many times and mainly when there’s multiple of them out.

**Prevent Reaper Shark and Colossal Squid from spawning in the 4th layer of the Abyss**

Both of these mini-bosses have extremely simple AI overall with much less going on than Eidolyn Wyrm, so they really don’t need the overall space that it gets. Additionally, the multiple trips to the abyss are a teaching method in order to adapt the player to the islands in the top three layers. First trip is to teach you how to move in the cramped spacing, as you only need to quickly get in and grab the shadow chest loot. The second trip teaches you how to fight in the island area, as depth cells and lumenyl from enemies are your main concern. Therefore the third trip would logically have you fighting the minibosses, but instead you just have wide open area fights that has little to do with the other two trips.
Making it so Reaper Shark and Colossal Squid only spawn in 2-3 post polter and Eidolyn Wyrms in 3-4 would allow better control over what miniboss you’re fighting, and test the player’s ability to maneuver in those two middle layers, especially if Reaper and Colossal were to enrage/despawn in the 4th layer.

CC effect tend to completely stop their movement for a split second which end up causing their attack to behave abnormally and the player getting hit (especially apparent on Scal) while CC have almost no benefit on these bosses.

The player should not get unfairly hit because of a supposedly advantage from the player.

**Rework (Some) of Buffs and Debuffs by Galaxia and Ark of the Cosmos**

The following must be clarified for the context: Galaxia and Ark of the Cosmos are different from previous biome blade weapon in that they ALSO give player buffs instead of just debuffs. Galaxia is post-DoG and therefore Elemental Gauntlet is available, and Ark of the Cosmos is post-Yharon and the weapon inflict Elemental Mix. This suggestion also ONLY focus on Galaxia and Ark of the Cosmos, not the entire biome blade line.

Elemental Mix (wiki is not updated yet): Holy Flame, Plague, Frostburn, Brimstone Flame
Elemental Gauntlet: On Fire, Frostburn, Ichor, Cursed Flame, Venom

The main gimmick of Galaxia and Ark of the Cosmos is to apply buffs and debuffs to the player depending on the biome they are in. However, the problem is that many of the buffs and debuffs are either useless or already applied by the weapon itself. This also results in them just occupying additional buff slots with undesired effect (such as Wet for Ocean) or the biome debuff do not matter. This suggestion is so that the biome buffs and debuffs should account for the player's point of progression and for them to be at least somewhat useful.

The following are example of the biome buff list by me that try to at least be thematically fitting and somewhat useful. (Pardon the MS Paint PDF)

**Rework/Flesh out Boss Rush Endgame**

Hollow Knight's Godslayer update introduced the Pantheons. I think it would be interesting to have a couple different themed boss rushes which after completing all of them would unlock the final complete boss rush, similar to Hollow Knight.

Boss Rush by itself is fairly long and a great endgame for a great mod. I think that having multiple smaller boss rushes would flesh out endgame more because you can choose to just do certain groups of bosses like a "worm boss rush" just to name one.

It may be a bit early for this suggestion, but adding more critters, similarly to how vanilla 1.4 adds gem critters, to the various areas of the world could be a nice addition to help liven up these spots. one example I can think of is some sort of brimstone crag critter that explodes when killed, both adding ambiance but also still being dangerous.

Also, stronger versions of the explosive bunny would be funny.

**Give Silva Armor Revive a Cooldown Instead of Once Per Life**

God Slayer Dash is currently just much more superior compare to Silva Revive as it is effectively a complete immunity and Rod of Discord on 35 seconds cooldown. Meanwhile Silva Armors get to stay alive once after they are killed and they don't even get much benefit from it unless they use Draconic Elixir. This is on top of the fact that Silva classes even have less defense.

Silva Armor Revive should have an extensively long cooldown instead of a hard limitation of once per life. A cooldown such as 180 seconds or even 240 seconds will be appropriate considering the expected length of end game boss battle (around 4 minutes for Yharon and 6 minutes for Exo Mechs/Scal, according to Timed DR)

Buff Serpentine's damage value

Serpentine is currently the weakest hardmode magic weapon in the game. I know this is supposed to be a weaker version of Slithering Eels, but the damage value is just too low. When used against hardmode bosses, this weapon can hardly do more than 1 damage due to the high defense those bosses have. I'm sure this is not intentional so, increasing this weapon damage value should fix this problem.

**Make it so Perforator worms, BoC's Creepers and EoW's segments don't drop any materials but the boss drops more**

The whole point of boss materials is for them to being locked until you beat the boss. With Perforators and Hive, BoC and EoW it's kinda scuffed because you can just farm the worms/creepers/segments and get enough material to craft weapons that would be more powerful against aforementioned bosses. Removing any materials from single enemies but adding more to bosses themselves in order to compensate would be more or less a good idea

**Add a small amount of lifesteal to Dodu's Handcannon**

There are two donor weapons crafted from Aeries, and neither of them inherit Aeries' spectre bar trait of healing the player on successful shots. Since that trait is Aeries' best feature compared to other ranged weapons on and above tier, letting it transfer forward would add a bit of sustain to a class that lacks it going into postML. As for why Handcannon over Prideful Hunter's Planar Ripper, Handcannon shoots peanuts. The other most well known peanut gun, Diddy Kong's, drops the unshelled nuts after hitting a target in Smash, which can be collected for a small amount of healing. This tweak would serve, then, both as a bit of extra reference and make crafting the final stage of a weapon chain more worth.

**Move the plague enemies and Plague Cell Canisters to the start of hardmode**

The reason I make this suggestion is that Plaguebringer Goliath is the only boss that is locked after a single boss. Like how Astrum Aureus is fought after Plantera but you can fight the boss at anytime because it's spawning item requires Stardust and Fallen Stars, and Anahita and Leviathan also fought after Plantera but they can be spawned at any time, and even Ravager that require's Golem's defeat but you can craft the Temple Key earlier before Plantera, kill Bohldohrs (in which they drop Lihzarhd bricks at all times) craft it's spawning item and fight the boss at any time. But Plaguebringer Goliath... Is just the only boss that is locked after a single boss. Here are some suggestions which will make the Goliath and Plague enemies moved at the start of hardmode for non linear progression:

The plague enemies will spawn at the start of hardmode, but they will have decreased stats and rare spawn rate
Make them drops Plague Cell Canisters at any time, so Plaguebringer Goliath is spawned at any time
Their stats and spawn rate will increase after Golem
Make some of the weapons that require Plague Cell Canister, also requiring other post Golem material (Like Infected Armor Plating, Scoria Bar etc.)
Hope this suggestion helps, because I think Plaguebringer Goliath needs to be free from progression spawning so we can fight the boss at anytime and respect the non linear progression.

**Make DMode DOG's head oneshot again**

The best part of DOG's fight was the fear and adrenaline of avoiding his head. The entire fight was entirely based around avoiding his head (the most amount of deaths in his Dmode fight are caused by the head), and I wouldn’t have it any other way. That instant kill was the great equaliser and was what made the fight so simple and memorable to a lot of people. It was my favourite fight in the entire mod. The concept was so simple, yet so brilliant. His head can kill you in one hit, but it is also his weakness. So it caused the player to be dangerously close to DOG's head, and quickly weave out of danger. It was dancing with death. Not only did it make him a constant threat regardless of the tier (he's still a menace in Boss Rush), but as I said, it made him memorable from the fear factor.

I feel that iterating further on ways that DOG can trick the player into touching his head is the best cause of action can further improve on that formula—as it poses a challenge to properly identify the pattern and bait DOG accordingly into near misses. Have him pretend to go in one direction only to swap to trick the player, among others.

**Upgrade the pirate invasión after defeat leviathan and anahita**

The pirate invasion at the moment it's near to usseles, only for money that you can get without farming, it would be good that, after leviathan and anahita, the pirates get enhaced and drops better loot, and augment the percent of drop of items that have an absurd low percent of drop, for example, the credit card. This add more value to the fight with ana and levi and could make the pirate invasion useful, not only for money or furniture.
The reason why i think the invasion would be enhaged after ana and levi it's because they probably kill most of the pirates in the ocean, and after defeating them, more and powerful pirates can come.

**Hide Supreme Calamitas From Boss Checklist Until CalClone Is Defeated And Rename Calamitas To "Calamitas Clone" After You Defeat Her**

To put it simply for lore reasons the "Calamitas" boss referred in game is a clone of the real Supreme Calamitas (also known as Calamitas, the Brimstone Witch). However, the player is not aware that the "Calamitas" we fight in Hardmode is not the real Calamitas. It is only revealed to be a clone after it is defeated.

Thus, an approach that will make sense is to hide Supreme Calamitas from Bosschecklist so that the player is unaware of her existence before the "Calamitas" boss is revealed to be a clone. This also fits the current progression which requires CalClone materials to summon Scal.

This will also allow the current "Supreme Calmitas" to be formally renamed to Calamitas (her real name) without confusion to the player.

There are two other mods that have similar function implemented that can be taken as example, particularly:
I) The final boss of Shadows of Abaddon (Nihilius) is hidden as ??? (and don't show in boss checklist at all before you defeat Erazor)
II) Mod of Redemption hide all its infection theme boss from boss checklist until you defeat Seed of Infection (including Infected Eye, all Vlitch Overlords and Patient Zero)

They could be sold at later progression to add a reason to grind for them while not making it tedious for the horribly unlucky to find them and can instead buy them at a later time. These are especially important for the permeant hp upgrades you most likely would want to have as they can help you in a fight and are in general something people shouldn't be locked out of due to bad luck

**Make the Arms Dealer sell the Uzi at some point**

A majority of weapons require little to no RNG to acquire, and when they do it's usually boss killing so you at least have a fun fight to do while you grind for it. That said, one of the most glaring cases of this being false often comes at the very start of Hardmode, where one of the most effective weapons for ranger pre-mechs is locked behind the hellish grind of Angry Trappers. While I'm not saying that it should be stupidly easy to get, it feels like by the time you don't need the actual weapon there should be some way to skip the long grind. The most natural solution to this, at least to me, would be handling it similarly to the Dungeon guns, with the Arms Dealer selling them at some point further ahead in progression. After you've killed one or two mechanical bosses feels about right, as a player will likely be able to access the Megashark, its closest rival, by then.

Additionally, the Uzi is also an ingredient for an important weapon post-Moon Lord, in the form of the Prideful Hunter's Planar Ripper (referred to as PHPR for brevity.) Ranger is fairly limited for options pre-Providence, and one of the main weapons they should have at that time being locked behind a slog of a grind that poses no challenge whatsoever, and just involves running back and forth in the jungle waiting for that tiny chance to get just one ingredient in a recipe where everything else is far easier to acquire.

**Add Shotgun Specific Ammo**

As it stands, shotguns are one of the more unique classes of gun in the game. This having been said, I believe that they could be fleshed out further by giving them their own ammo type separate from musket balls used for single shot guns. The first benefit of this would be that shotguns would become a more fleshed out subclass of ranged weapons, similar to flamethrowers, helping with the somewhat lack of variety in ranged weapon options that was pointed out by someone here a while ago. This would first off allow for more shotguns in progression, though there are already plenty for most stages of the game. Another benefit of giving shotguns their own ammo is that it allows a separation of balancing between ammo for single shot guns and ammo for shotguns. the best example, imo, is chlorophyte bullets, which are good on single shot guns, but amazing on shotguns, since they let all your bullets hit regardless of spread. splitting the ammo types would allow for chlorophyte to be balanced on single shots, and some new bullet to fill its niche in shotguns, if any.

as a final sub-suggestion, if this was added in, there could be a split made between shells (shooting multiple bullets) and slugs (shooting a single high damage bullet that's slow and affected by gravity), though this may result in shotguns encroaching on the ground of single shots. by this, i mean that a handful of shotgun ammos would create a slug rather than a spread, similar to how some rockets destroy blocks and others do not

Since auric bars only need the ore and yharon soul fragments, every bar costs more oreand theres are less ores in the caverns and thats pretty normal, but the thing is there are no auric slimes and yharon doesnt spawn more ores when killed many times, this makes the ore too precious and sometimes i dont have enough to do armor, weapons, auric quantum cooling cell and altar of the accursed, so i have to go get it or mine it in pre update worlds.

**Weaken Reactive/Timed Reduction in Malice Mode**

Too many people in the community at this point want this so it needs to be addressed. This game mechanic has already been removed in rev/death and I think we all know that in malice, it has gotten out of hand. It will now be even worse in the next update because of the increased damage for decreased movement speed trade, but that will be adressed later. In my personal opinion there are only very few instances where rdr is actually good to exist one being night providence, and two being Exo mechs *although I do think the scaling factor NEEDS to be decreased and lets be real, it doesn't take 6 minutes or more time than scal to kill. For everything besides provi as well, the scaling I think should be set at the old revengence value. Maybe even to compensate for decreasing rdr effectiveness, a malice exclusive 10-15% flat dr boost to every boss (minus scal for obvious reasons). There really is no purpose in this mechanic to enhance gameplay/make it a better experience besides instant kill protection.

All in all, this flat dr malice addition with decreasing the malice tdr scaling factor to about rev sizes if not lower can make malice more satisfying and enjoyable by immersing the player in the fight, instead of malice fights consisting of damaging the boss, and then just dodging until dr goes away. Malice really is one of the better remaining additions of 1.5 and it is upsetting to have this one mechanic taking away from its potential as a harder mode than death.

Meteors (and since they use the same spawning algorithm as Meteors, Astral Meteors) can spawn in relatively deeper places than intended (like Corruption chasms), making them hidden at best and outright annoying at worst. This is especially a problem with Astral Meteors since there's a possibility of this resulting in no surface Astral biome upon generation (the entire generation of biome could be underground only), and fighting Aureus takes immensely extra effort to do due to the cramped Astral biome. Having a depth check for spawning these meteors would help mitigating such cases from happening.

**Disable UseTurn on true melee weapons**

When UseTurn is set to “true” in a weapon’s stats, the player cannot stay swinging forward while moving backward.

While not much of an issue in most applications, UseTurn is nothing short of frustrating in boss fights, and stifles the viability of true melee weapons unnecessarily.

While understandable as a nerf to projectile melee weapons, enabling UseTurn on true melee weapons is puzzling. With how close the player has to be to land hits on a boss that requires constant movement to play around, the player’s subjection of themself to more difficult maneuvering and likely more damage as a result of their close proximity is what would balance out the additional damage of true melee hits.

UseTurn makes true melee resort to a frustrating, unfun, stuttery, clunky playstyle of move, then swing, then move, then swing, which in most situations doesn’t make up for whatever extra damage they might be doing.

**Remove pickaxe requirement to mine Cryonic ore**

So the boss checklist writes cryogen down as a pre-mech boss, and obviously his defeat spawns cryonic ore in the snow biome. In previous versions of the mod you could just kill cryogen and go straight to mining the ore, but now (assuming you have the early hardmode progression config setting enabled) it cannot be mined until after killing 2 mech bosses, and obtaining a adamantite/titanium pick. To me it doesn't really make sense to kill a boss and not be able to mine its ore until 2 bosses later, and while I do really enjoy the way early hardmode progression has been reworked with this config enabled, this is one change that I think needs to happen in order for it to make a bit more sense. This also may or may not require a slight rebalance of the cryonic gear.

**Differentiate the Endo Cooper's Modes by its buff tooltip (Endogenesis summon weapon**

In a fight, it's very tedious to tell which mode the Endogenesis spawned. For those unaware, the Endogenesis is an endgame summon weapon that spawns a minion called the Endo Cooper. The Endo Cooper can use four different modes of attack, which you can switch depending on how many times to swing the Endogenesis.

The problem is that it's difficult to tell which mode the Endogenesis is currently using because often times, your minion will fly off-screen erratically to follow opponents. It's important to be able to know which mode you are using because different modes are useful for different bosses/situations (Cooper 1 and 3 are good for bosses while 2 and 4 have uses in crowd control), and the lack of the ability to effectively cycle between them with accuracy makes the weapon slightly annoying to use. This is especially apparent when you want to use the Endogenesis as a backup weapon when your Angelic Alliance cooldown begins and halved-summon weapons like the Ethereal Subjugator can't keep up the pace in DPS.

**Give All Bosses A 1-2 Seconds "Grace Period" When The Fight Just Begin**

Grace period is basically just a period where the boss cannot deal damage to the player and (preferably) player also cannot deal damage to the bosses. A way to do is it to disable the hitbox of bosses and disable boss attacks for 1-2 seconds after a summon is used (the fight starts).

The reason is extremely simple: especially obvious in Malice, many bosses immediately go after the player as soon as the fight start when they are still closing their inventory/find where the boss spawn after using the summon item. At this period of time it is extremely unfair to test the player's reaction speed or get hit within 0.5-1 second after the fight start. This is on top of the fact that some bosses can spawn immediately at a position very close to the player.

The only exception to this is Supreme Calamitas and Astrum Deus as the grace period is the "summon transition".

**Add more situations where hordes of enemies are the main difficulty**

Weapons in Calamity are often judged for their viability against bosses, due to the high threat that bosses pose to the player, and how casual exploration or horde/swarm fights almost NEVER come up when compared to bosses. Realistically, post ml there's a few bad examples of event fights (moons/eclipse/dungeon) and one real example of a good horde fight (Acid Rain T3).
This situation at best leaves some weapons that exceed at dealing with swarms ignored, and at worst entire weapon types (spiky balls, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, barrels) actively trashed due to having no opportunity to truly shine aside from pre-hm or some portions of hardmode. Giving the player more swarms to deal with would allow for weapons to not be balanced simply around single target damage, and allow less appreciated weapons and niche weapon types to show their real power more often.

To put it simply Lunatic Cultist is a boss that have 0 catchup, do not despawn and also have no biome restriction. His arena is the entire world just like Moon Lord. However, all of his projectiles simply can't catch up to the player (except in Malice which he somewhat does). For a boss gatekeeping the vanilla final boss and pillar weapons, he is way too weak compare to even Plantera, since you can literally beat him by not fighting him.

**Rebalance vanilla melee weapon buff against non-boss enemies**

Many of the vanilla weapons seem to do far too much damage against non-boss enemies. A good example is the gold sword which was changed from doing 13 damage to doing 26 meaning that you can kill most pre-hardmode enemies very quickly and easily before even fighting a boss, but the problem applies to the other buffed weapons as well. In later game its more understandable that melee gets a buff since its risky to get up close to enemies since you might take a lot of damage if you don't do it carefully, but in early game you do enough knockback to easily keep enemies away thus removing a lot the risk, and with the current buff you do so much damage that the enemies would be dead before they can do much damage to you anyways. The weapons should still be buffed but some buffs should be lowered a bit.

Since the tavernkeeper inventory gets full after the third tier, the enemies should drop the items or a material to craft the items.

The suggestion is to give an actual purpose to these effects. Currently submerged in liquid effect simply have way too low of utility outside of Abyss (and Sunken Sea but Sunken Sea is not difficult) and cannot really be used without extensive (or even unreasonable) arena setup. The result becomes that these effect are often skipped or used without its intended bonus as the condition is too hard to fulfill.

Making them give a lesser effect while raining will not just be thematically fitting but also make sure that they can at least be utilized in fights. (As many submerged in liquid gears have big numbers, whether to what extend is considered "lesser" should be on a case by case basis)

**Slightly alter a quote from the Guide added by Calamity**

So in Hardmode, the guide can say this:

"Can you be so kind as to, ah...check hell for me...? I left someone I kind of care about down there."

I think that the word "hell" should be replaced with "the underworld". This is because the Guide already has a few quotes relating to the underworld where he refers to it as "the underworld", not "hell". For example, if the Eye of Cthulhu, the Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu, and Skeletron have been defeated, the world is in pre-Hardmode, and the player has at least 400 maximum health, the Guide will say this:

"The underworld is made of a material called hellstone. It's perfect for making weapons and armour."

Here, the Guide refers to the underworld as the underworld, not hell.

This is a very miniscule change, but I feel it would make more sense if the Guide is consistent with his language in his quotes.

***Change Asphalt to reduce cheesing, by significantly reducing speed boost while boss is alive***

Teleporters and other stuff gets disabled to prevent cheesing, so why should asphalt be any different. Several hardmode bosses can be completely outrun due to the recent base player speed changes in combination with asphalt blocks.

Asphalt should give the player a bonus, so I suggest reducing the speed bonus by 75%~ while a boss is alive, that way asphalt is still decent just for getting around in general outside of combat.

This also generally makes asphalt give the player a bonus similar to heart lanterns and sunflowers in terms of tile bonuses (albeit with different conditions)

**Rework death mode's temperature system to be more immersive and not so easy to overcome**

Currently Death mode's weather is barely dangerous once you get outside of pre-hm and even there you can simply avoid it. The idea here is making a new system that divides various of the effects by some system; for instance tiers, and different environments having a different tier of temperature, the goal of this is making the system more immersive and more overall present inside of most of the game rather than being near instant death until you just equip/place/drink something.

Heres an idea on how it could work: Each biome has a temperature tier correspondent to it, and weather also affecting it in some way (most notably blizzards but cases for rain could be done). The effects could go from minor annoyance and not lethal from tier 1, and then incrementing to near instant death with the highest tier.

Gear available through the journey provides a certain tier of protection, the total from all of your armor, accessories and potions is added up and nullifies the amount of tiers they all add up, thus slowing and even impeding death.

Heres an example: The player enters a blizzard (we'll suppose its tier is 4) without any equipment and gets frozen in a couple seconds like it currently is, on the other hand another player enters with an eskimo coat (lets suppose it grants 2 tiers of protection) and just experiences slowness and some negative life regen, he places a campfire and now is perfectly fine

**Remove Cosmic Guardians**

Gameplay wise, they exist just to add "difficulty" to the Devourer fight. They either get shredded making them irrelevant, or are nuisances due to their bloated stats. The main issue is that in phase 2 during "A god does not fear death", it is hard to keep track off them as the player has to focus on the boss especially since it gains a massive speed boost. This leads into cheap shots from them as they tend to be off-screen a lot, with the player not knowing where they'll come from. They are somewhat manageable in phase 1 until you realise they don't despawn upon killing phase 1, making it annoying if you aren't able to finish them off in time before phase 2. Sure it'll make the fight "easier", however i feel that the boss has better ways to be difficult other than spawning minions with annoying stats.

As for lore wise, they don't make sense considering DoG and Storm Weaver are the last of their kind. IMO they don't fit into the fight with the fact that the sentinals already fight for the Devourer, so why does it still have more minions on its side? It also makes the boss look like a joke as its final stand off just spawns minions, making it look incapable of killing the player itself, especially since it states that it doesn't fear death.

**Add a extremely early game accessory for summoner that gives them an extra minion slot if they have only 1**

Currently, early game summoner is immensely painful due to the fact that all early game summons are balanced around two minions slots. If they weren’t, they would become instantly op when you acquired Wulfrum armor. However, this comes with the problem that something like the squirrel squire staff is pitifully weak since it is (essentially) dealing only 50% damage. Thus I propose an accessory that gives you a extra summon slot if you have only the base 1, making early game summoner far less of a drag.

**Upgrade the pirate invasión after defeat leviathan and anahita**

This add more value to the fight with ana and levi and could make the pirate invasion useful, not only for money or furniture.
The reason why i think the invasion would be enhaged after ana and levi it's because they probably kill most of the pirates in the ocean, and after defeating them, more and powerful pirates can come.

To add more salt in the wound, the flame blasts from the stealth strike do an extremely small fraction of the weapon's damage making it overall not good for single target and completely outclassed for AoE as well.

**Move evil islands down a bit**

Evil islands usually spawn in a place where the sky biome overrides the evil. A large purpose of evil islands is to allow the player to fight the alternate second evil boss(Hive Mind/Perforators) which need a cyst to first spawn. This is hard to get to spawn when the biome most of the time does not permit cysts to spawn. Moving evil islands down maybe around 15-30 blocks could ensure that they are not sky biome and cysts can spawn in them. Additionally, even if you do manage to get the boss to spawn, you still have to worry about gravity which can easily become an annoyance in the fight. If the islands were moved down this would be less of an issue.

The tooth balls move at such a great speed and they home in on the player that they are easily the hardest thing to dodge in the whole fight. Making them killable from the moment they spawn would make the fight a lot less frustrating, but also not subtract too much from the difficulty, as it still splits into homing teeth and leaves behind a poisonous clouds (you could also make the tooth balls tankier so that they don't get completely invalidated). It has the same problem as the Plaguebringer Goliath's plague mines and that got changed, so why not this?

Stasis's Blessing

Hercules Beetle - Witch Doctor and only in Jungle

This was before excusable, due to the Perfect Dark / Vein Burster and Shadowdrop Staff / Blood Bath acting the same way, though as of the latest update, both of these pairs have gotten slight variations, like how Rot Balls and Tooth Balls both have different effects, to make them different , namely the Perf counterparts being slower but slightly stronger hitting.
Another weapon combo that was recently changed is the Night's / Carnage Rays, while not directly drops from Hive Mind and The Perforators, act similarly to their drops in theming.
Due to this recent change, the Dank Staff and the Blood Clot Staff remain to be the same weapon with a different skin, which makes them feel a bit off in relation to the rest of the pairs in Hive Mind's and The Perforators' drops.

**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.

Using this weapon I literally beat the boss within about 30 seconds. Which was cool to see how insane the damage was, but realistically it would probably be a lot more rewarding to fight a boss that you don't practically instakill. The lazhar seems to be an otherwise pretty well balanced weapon, but for this particular fight I think it would make sense if either A) Your damage dealt is reduced more significantly after each pierce, or B) Maybe the lazhar should be added to the list of weapons this boss takes decreased damage from.

**Improve Sustainability via Fishing/Crafting**

Something vanilla should’ve done a long time ago was match the Wooden and Gold Chest drop tables to the Wooden and Gold Crates. For some reason, Band of Regeneration, Flare Gun, Spear, Blowpipe, Wooden/Enchanted Boomerang, and Shoe Spikes are completely unobtainable outside of having them naturally generate in Wooden or Gold Chests, yet Band of Starpower and Climbing Claws are both capable of dropping from Crates, Blow Gun is purchasable from the Witch Doctor, and Ice Boomerang and Marnite Spear are craftable pre-Boss.

Band of Regeneration is part of both Ethereal Talisman and Rampart of Deities crafting recipes, and is non-renewable, but Guide to Plant Fiber Cordage is? Enchanted (and eventually Wooden in 1.4) Boomerang are part of the Celestus crafting tree, and Flare Gun for Elemental Blaster, and yet both are completely dependent on world gen. I simply suggest making these drop tables equivalent, and if not, give at least the most important recipes like so many other items.

Also of note is the fact that Perennial, Aerialite, Uelibloom, and Charred Ores do not drop from any crates, yet all of their Bar forms do. This seems more like an oversight than a deliberate choice, but if it is, I see no reason not to simply make a 50/50 chance for the crate to drop the equivalent amount of ore in case someone wanted to make bricks without farming the Ore Slimes. Cryonic does not drop from any crate, but presumably will be put into Boreal Crates when 1.4 eventually rolls around, though I could see it simply being put into Gold Crates post-Mechs + Cryo without much issue, alongside its ore. These changes would align with most of Calamity’s existing design philosophies on sustainability without much issue, as many similar items are already craftable/obtainable in some way.

**Remove or retier butterfly dust in Witch Doctor's shop**

After killing Golem, Witch Doctor starts selling butterfly dust, which is primarily used in Butterfly Wings and Honey Dew, both of which can be acquired as soon as you have access to a mythril/orichalcum anvil. So being able to buy butterfly dust to craft those items only after Golem makes it rather obsolete, since by that point the player won't have any use for the previously mentioned items. So I'd suggest either removing this material from Witch Doctor's shop or moving it earlier in progression. For example, post Plantera would be a good spot for it since it wouldn't be too early, nor too late.

**Remove Adult Eidolon Wyrm From The Boss Checklist (And Only Appear After You Beat Him)**

In a normal sense, a "Superboss" is by all means an unreasonable and often accompanied by overbuffed stat, sometimes approaching impossible to beat opponent that is only challenged when the player have the best gears available in the game. Superboss are also often hidden or basically considered as a "secret boss". All of the above applies to Adult Eidolon Wyrm: it function as a kill mechanic for using Rod of Discord in the Abyss (similar to pre-Skeletron Dungeon Guardian), it requires Shadowspec gears to challenge him and you fight him in such a constrained area of the Abyss.

Thus, Adult Eidolon Wyrm should not be on the boss checklist. He should be something that the player just feels like "wait I may finally be strong enough to maybe kill that thing in the abyss" rather than serving as kind of "THE final boss" after beating Scal and Exo Mechs, simply due to the implication of it being at the bottom position of the Boss Checklist. Boss Rush should be on there instaed.

The best approach to still recognize Adult Eidolon Wyrm as a Superboss is for it to only appear on the Boss Checklist AFTER you beat him.

**Allow Gunk Shot to shoot a unique projectile when using Musket Balls.**

Both Gunk Shot and Overloaded Blaster are themed after Slime God, which is all about slime. Overloaded Blaster takes this concept nicely as its projectiles bounce and fall down after a bounce. Meanwhile, Gunk Shot is just...a shotgun. There's nothing about its design that's significant enough to warrant usage compared to Minishark (Low, rapid damage which is boosted by armor penetration significantly), Archerfish (Piercing, which helps a lot on WoF fight), or Overloaded Blaster. Adding a unique bullet to Gunk Shot while shooting with Musket Balls would make the weapon a slight bit more interesting to work with.

One idea about its unique bullet can be, but won't be limited to making it bounce off enemy hitboxes on hit, with reduced damage after each bounce. Combined with the shotgun mechanic, the weapon could be an excellent crowd control option, especially on tight formations.

**Give Stormlion Mandibles a wider use**

Stormlion Mandibles are a fairly known item, being used in the Summon item recipe of Calamity's first boss.
Contrary to them being fairly well known, be it due to the Stormlions roaming the desert when you explore it or due to the Desert Medallion, this item (and the enemy it drops from) serve little purpose in the entire game.
-Two are needed for the Desert Medallion, which is non consumable and therefore crafted once in a gametime.
-One is needed for the Storm Surge, a weapon that I would argue to be quite often then not overlooked due to its weird placement, and serves little significance to any recipe nor shines in any way due to its behavior.
As seen, Stormlion Mandibles posses 2 single time uses, and unlike other early materials like the Desert Feather, only posses one major use, especially after their removal from the Triumph Potion's recipe, their only resource sink.

After all of the above, I suggest that the Stormlion Mandibles be expanded on.
I could see the Mandibles being expanded on via sprinkling them through various Electric themed weapons, to the likes of Stormfront Razor, the Storm Ruler and etc.
Another way to expand the use of the Stormlion Mandibles could be providing them a new or multiple new resource sinks, to the likes of adding them to Tesla potions instead of the Gold / Platinum Ore.

**Disable the visual effects of a sandstorm during boss fights**

The arena that I've been using for Providence happens to cross over a hallowed desert. When a random sandstorm occurs, it makes it hard when crossing over that area to see what the projectiles are doing. And in the past I've also used arenas over the desert for Scal and it tends to cause a good bit of lag. Alternatively if we got a non-consumable arid artifact that would make it less of an issue, but either way I think it would make sense, because Calamity seems to want the bosses themselves to be the main focus while the player is fighting them, hence why we have boss zen and such.

**Increase the Vein Size of Perennial and Uelibloom Ore or Make Them Spawn More Often**

Calamity added a lot of new ore variety that spawn throughout the game, such as Aerialite, Cryonic, both Hardmode ores for each tier (6 total), Hallowed, Perennial and Uelibloom.

However, this cause a problem particular for those that have a generic spawning location (namely: Underground, Cavern), their spawn place tend to get preoccupied by other ores. This result in them spawning way less often and in little quantity.

The two ores that particularly have this problem is Perennial and Uelibloom ore as they are spawn way later into the progression and are needed in large quantity due to them being needed in many recipes. While ore slimes (or ravager) exist, I believe mining should still be the main source of acquisition for ores, with ore slimes being compensatory.

Their spawn rate or simply vein size should be increase to compensate for preoccupied spawn place by other ores.

Despite of all of the things told to us the players, there is a lack of things inside the world that could relate to such story. Things like Permafrost's castle's ruins, Silva's corpse, Statis clan's remains, Braelor in general among other things cannot be seen at all inside of the world and thus adding more lore-related structures to the world would not only flesh the world we explore out but also generate deeper connection to the lore of the game.

**Buff Old Duke's Scales to provide survivability so that players can use more of its capabilities with far less risk**

Old Duke is a resilient boss while also being aggressive, so why does an accessory related to it only provides offensive capabilities, this item is Old duke scales. The accessory is rarely ever used despite having some nice traits. However theres one main issue: The effects rely on getting hurt (either via dmg or debuffs) and to mitigate the downside it heavily relies on using accessories to mitigate some of the downside to keep the dmg boosts longer such as Frigid bulkwark/Rampart's frozen shield making you able to survive longer at low hp, Community and Astral Arcanum's debuff mitigating properties and/or Chaos stone (or aflame and withering enchantments) triggering the powerful increased dmg under a debuff perk rather than waiting until you get hit.

The idea is to make the accessory also grant some defensive utility to be able to utilize its bonuses without relying so much on other stuff to be useful.
As mentioned Frozen shield effects help it, so why not also give it some other stat (mobility, defense, even DR or something) to aid your survivability when your hp is lower and make it more overall useful accessory and not niche.

Additionally I mentioned that the debuff perk is strong, however without using Chaos stone or Aflame/Withering this effect is extremely risky to trigger due to many attacks hitting for high amounts of damage and the debuffs they inflict also melting your hp. So to make it more reliable to use outside of those specific circumstances it could have a debuff mitigation effect, similar to how Community has so that it can use the effect more consistently without having your hp melted by say Electrified, Vulnerability hex and Godslayer inferno.

there is not much dodging required and the fight is becoming dumb and simple.

When using the Plague Reaper armour it is extremely beneficial to use the Alchemical Flask/Plague Hive to inflict the Plague debuff. However, this makes Acid Rounds essentially never more useful than Hyperius Bullets when using the Alchemical Flask/Plague Hive, as the fact that it inflicts Plague is the only reason it would be used over Hyperius Bullets and the benefits from Hyperius Bullets almost always outweigh the defence gimmick from the Acid Rounds.

**Make it more obvious when you get too far away from Providence**

Back in 1.4, the cue that you're too far away is literally unmissable, but now it just gives you a debuff and rapid hp loss, neither of which are easy to notice if you're busy trying to dodge projectiles. (And the flame effect on your character is identical to the flames from getting hit by her projectiles, so you can't tell by that either)

Some possible solutions could be to bring back the darkness but make it transparent or make the area you can see much larger so you can still see the projectiles. Another way to keep the darkness effect would be to literally just make the debuff darken your vision like the plague debuff does.

However what I think would probably be the best option would be to make an audio cue, like either a deep rumbling or a roaring flame or something to that effect.

**Adjust Empyrean armor**

Empyrean armor is pretty boring, it brings nothing new and unique to the table compared to other equipment of the rogue class, just very rarely spawning some projectiles which do a small amount of damage, which a lot of rogue gear does already and it does nothing to be more unique.
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 or just have the buffs on hit instead, speaking of which they are pretty unnecessarily split into 2 buff slots when they could just be crammed into a singular buff slot, allowing the player to use an additional valuable potion.
Tweaking the armor to address these flaws would overall help it to stand out more and be less unnoticeable and even detrimental in various aspects.

Which can lead to situations like in the image posted https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465195069406707722/938907635120496670/unknown.png

I suggest reworking ethereal extorter to be somewhat similar to the ranger set of bloodflares. spawning a burst of souls on a cooldown that way its not as many souls spawned at once or rapidly spawning souls.

**Nerf all weapon projectiles with infinite lifespan**

Some projectiles from weapons go on literally forever and through walls, like for example one of the star cannon upgrades. These projectiles then break plants and pots creating lots of items in the world and potentially lots of lag. Additionally, using these weapons in the Jungle biome almost always result in multiple Queen Bees after you.

I suggest making these projectiles have limited lifespans. They can still last very long, like perhaps 500ish tiles (very rough estimate), but make them disappear at some point.

**Readd Underworld Shrine (With Different Loot That Is Not Murasama)**

Currently with all of the biome that is generated on world creation, Sunken Sea and the Underworld/Brimstone Crag are the only one that do not have a shrine item (Sunken Sea is not suitable for having shrine due to its small size). This makes the Underworld the only large biome without a shrine item.

Considering the difficulty of the biome in pre-Hardmode and the demonic nature of the biome, Underworld seems to be the location most suitable to have structure like a shrine, which existed but was removed as its previous loot Murasama is moved to the Underworld Biome Lab. It is also for the sake of consistency as stated above (being the only large biome without a shrine).

**Add a visual effect when the town NPC "Brimstone Witch" is enchanting a weapon**

The brimstone Witch, whose enchantments are quite useful when fighting against bosses, can benefit the player as well as can give a counter, such as the enchantment of aflame, his fire does a lot of damage but while holding the weapon does continuous damage per second to the player, now that said I suggest adding a visual effect for when a weapon is enchanted, and that the visual effect can be recognized with the runes of these enchantments. For example, the rune of aflame appearing above the player, or even the rune of resentful depending on the Enchantment selected.

(For the Exhumed one, I suggest that the weapon to be enchanted floats above the player and the rune representing the Exhumed enchantment covers the surroundings of the weapon and then it converts into the respective Exhumed weapon, Metastasis, Rancor etc.)

(For the Disenchantment, i also suggest that the weapon to be disenchanted floats above the player and the Brimstone Witch takes out all the calamitous magic in the weapon.)

**Fix the tiering inconsistency with the Corroded Fossils, a Post-AS material only usable after 1 Mechanical Boss**

The Corroded Fossil gear is a rather small, yet quite significant one, holding many great and interesting weapons unlocked by Acid Rain's Second tier, which would make you think its solely after the Aquatic Scourge, right?
Well.. not exactly, while you can get the Fossils, and all of the other ingredients for the gear right after AS, which is fightable before any mech boss, they still require Mythril / Orichalcum Anvils, effectively disconnecting these drops from AS and the Acid Rain until you defeat a mech, leading to these weapons being disconnected from the tier their material is achieved at, and so making them become forgotten due to lack of connection to their "roots".
I suggest moving these recipes to the normal Anvil, to allow these weapons to be made right after AS / AR2, due to reasons above.

**Make The Devourer of Gods’ teleport fireball blast more relevant**

Currently, the Devourer of Gods’ teleport fireball blast isn’t a very relevant attack. Its cool, but It’s very unlikely to ever hit the player for a few reasons: the fireballs don’t go very far or fast, the attack only starts occurring when DoG is missing a large amount of HP, and the player can easily move away from the teleport telegraph to invalidate the attack.

Making this attack more engaging would help keep the fight interesting, since DoG only has a few attacks.

One possible way to do this could be to have the teleport telegraph follow the player if they get too far away

**Make All Weapons Be Able to Acquire Their Highest Tier Reforge Modifier (Despite Partially Not Affected By the Stats)**

It will be easier to explain with example. Currently weapons such as Yoyo and weapon with fixed attack rate like Murasama cannot obtain modifier that change their speed and size, thus their best modifier is always "Godly". The suggestion is to make it so that these weapons should be able to obtain the highest reforge modifier of their weapon type (such as "Legandary" for melee) despite them not being able to benefit from it (legendary is godly with speed and size so nothing is loss).

The only particular problem with this implementation is "Ruthless" especially on Summoner weapons, which I will suggest to make "Mythical" have the same damage number as Ruthless on summoner weapon or to leave Summoner weapon as exception to this suggestion (therefore "Ruthless" remain the highest tier)

The purpose of this change is for the sake of consistency, as especially for players who are not aware of the mechanic will try to reforge to get higher modifier despite it being the best that can be obtained (especially with the new Goblin Tinkerer's Reforge system). It will also be more consistent with the Changelog as shown in the attached image.

**Improve Pwnagehammer Spectral Hammer Targeting**

The Pwnagehammer is one of my favorite weapons in this mod. It’s slow, but it hits really hard, especially with it’s spectral hammers, which deal double the weapon’s base damage, often reaching thousands of damage on a crit even without Adrenaline. I find that really satisfying.
However, seeing a Spectral Hammer just fly straight up and disappearing even when there are enemies nearby is incredibly unsatisfying. There seems to be little to no rhyme or reason to the Spectral Hammer targeting. Sometimes they will hit the enemy the original hammer hit, sometimes they will fly off and obliterate some enemy far off screen, and other times it will just float up and disappear, seeming regardless of whether or not the original target is alive still or where it is.
And not only is a wasted hammer unsatisfying, but it occurs surprisingly often, and could easily change the outcome of a boss fight from a win to a loss due to the huge amount of damage you miss out on, especially if the spectral hammer would have hit during Adrenaline.

**Make Devourer of God Transition His Passive/Aggressive Behaviour Smoother and More Balance**

Basically beside the Phase 1/2 transition, DoG have 2 different "behaviour": 1) Passive (Blue) - Like Solar Pillar Crawltipede, improved capability to chase air enemy but do not chase grounded enemy at all; and 2) Aggressive (Purple) - Behave more like other worm AI and chase enemy always. The AI alters on a timer.

The problem is that DoG is totally passive during his Passive (Blue) phase to grounded enemy which results in him just flying around not chasing the player at all and is a big contributor to why DoG is considered "too passive". The clip showcased such an example, as he "gives up" the attack due to behaviour transition.

DoG's behaviour transition should be smoother and have less "polar opposite" behaviour, the following are only examples provided by me and by no means the only way suggested to implement this suggestion:

Slightly extend the Aggressive (Purple) behaviour if DoG is chasing a player closely (so he never "give up" on attack);
Slightly alter his Passive (Blue) phase so that he use this phase to "reposition himself" rather than aimlessly flying around if the player is grounded, or even attempting to cut off/intercept the player by flying ahead (as he is incapable of directing chasing the player)
On higher difficulty (especially Death Mode and above where the transition is not visible as the sky stays black), make DoG transition his behaviour more for his need rather than a timer. Basically make DoG switch from Purple to Blue faster if the player is on air and switch from Blue to Purple faster if the player is grounded.

**Make the Calamitas NPC Spawn Earlier Into the Progression (Without her Enchant/Exhume before Scal is beaten of course)**

The reason for this suggestion is for lore reasons. Calamity had been introducing many lore elements into the boss fight, one of them being Supreme Calamitas dialogue and Calamitas becoming an NPC. However, there is an inconsistency issue in it.

In Scal fight, Calamitas have express deep or even personal connection to the player/Terrarian in her dialogue, namely she seems angered by players' kill their way to power resembling Yharim, which do not make sense as the Scal fight is supposedly the first time Scal and the player encounter directly (especially considering she is forced to fight the player in lore).

Thus, an approach for this interaction to make complete sense is for Supreme Calamitas (the Calamitas NPC) to be involved with the player much earlier than the player realise. The point of progression best fit for this is post-WoF as she will be able to "observe" players' fight with her doppleganger, and is also the perfect timing considering Calamitas acknowledge that the player/Terrarian is an entity quickly rising in power, and WoF causes the most drastic change in the world on its defeat for her to have reason to "spy" on the player by disguising as an NPC. She just have to despawn after Yharon for Scal fight to still happen.

Calamitas NPC (pre-Scal) can be visually altered slightly particularly her colour scheme to not give a hint that she is the final boss, and also something like giving her a generic disguised name like "Witch" (Wizard exist so it is not out of the way). This will also make the Calamitas (post-Scal) becoming an NPC make much more sense as she is no longer just an enemy randomly turned friendly. Whether what function to be given is vague as it should not have significant gameplay impact, something like "Calamity Guide" can work. Her function for enchant/exhume is restored after she is defeated in Scal fight.

**Make the DOG teleport based on the player's movement, rather than that of the boss**

Currently, DOG has the ability to teleport in the second phase if the player gets too far away. This I presume is an anti-cheese mechanic to prevent the player from just running away. However, due to a bit of a quirk in the AI of worm bosses, they can kind of just "run off" and go pretty far away from the player. The result is that you're essentially punishing the player for a problem with the AI. So I think there should be a distinguishment between the player moving too far away and the boss just deciding to go somewhere else. Because it adds a lot of unnecessary difficulty to the fight, especially toward the end when it starts firing more projectiles when it teleports.

**Readd Rod of Discord Crafting Recipe (But With Massively Increased Cost)**

Rod of Discord' recipe was removed in Patch 1.5.0.002 in favor of making it purchasable from the Wizard, and it is perfectly understandable that the crafting recipe is removed as there will be no reason to buy it if the alternative is much easier, however several problem comes with it:

The purchase was intended as kind of a "money sink" with the new reforge system (costing less), but reforging accessory and purchasing potion is still pricy.
The purchase method is kind of easier than the previous crafting method, as the player simply have farm (pre-HM) bosses (which they easily can with HM weapon)
It causes disadvantage to player who simply do not read changelog/wiki, the biome specific condition makes sense in vanilla 1.4 but in Tmodloader people do not put NPC in specific biome (no pylon = more walking)

However, the crafting recipe have several advantage the purchase method don't have: 1) it is much more accessible to new player, as it requires Soul of Light, a common crafting material that most player certainly will check recipe upon (Guide or Recipe Browser); 2) It gives Chaos Fish a purpose (than just teleportation potion which is mostly useless) when fishing other useful hallow loots; 3) Simply farming money is not exactly the most interesting alternative way to acquire RoD.

The concern was the crafting method will be much easier than the purchase method, therefore the crafting cost simply have to be increased to match the purchase price. Even increase to the extreme like 50 Chaos Fish and 200 Soul of Light will still at least give the player (especially those who are not aware of the purchase method) better chance at acquiring the item than just "read wiki and get money". The purchase can still stay, just that crafting should also be available.

**Buff Launch and Pull Velocity of All Pre-Moon Lord (especially Hardmode) Hooks**

Currently most hooks are too slow and the extend of their usefulness is just to reset wing flight time/double jump.

The following are general description of their usefulness (from my own testing):

Diamond hook and Skeletron hand can't get you onto platform if drop more than 17.5 blocks below it, hooking directly up. Both are the best pre-HM hook available (Bat Hook is HM in Calamity)
If you want to do any angled movement (while dropping), you have to pre-fire before you drop more than 10 blocks (depend on angle)
HM, directly up: no hooks more than 22-23 blocks below a platform (Lunar Hook barely do 24, "2nd best hook" in game)
Angled movement HM hook: fire before dropping more than 12.5 blocks (depend on angle)
Bobbit Hook: directly up 31-32 blocks, angled around 25 blocks (depend on angle)

The above stat means that most hook is too slow to be use for movement and only as a tool to reset wingflight/double jump when you are already close to platforms by hooking and immediately cancelling the pull.

(Except pre-HM where bosses are slower) Only Bobbit Hook can be realistically used against bosses on tier due to its extreme launch and pull velocity. Serpent's Bite and Bat Hook are better than Lunar Hook simply due to higher velocity. Other hooks launch and pull velocity should be buffed accordingly to make them useful on tier (reach can stay the same and scale with progression).

**Post early game uses for Wulfrum Metal Scraps and Energy Cores**

Wulfrum Metal Scraps and Energy Cores are early game materials dropped by common daytime surface enemies. Early in a run they are the perfect material, allowing you to make powerful tools, weapons and armor faster and better than laborious underground excavation, while also exploring the uncharted surface of a new terraria world. However, as one progresses to mid-pre-Hardmode, the player obtains better alternatives to Wulfrum equipment, which somewhat causes a problem: Other materials from ores or bosses can be harvested as needed, but Wulfrum material comes from enemies obstructing the player during the safest time for surface travel. The player can therefore accumulate large amounts of it through normal play, but it has lost all use other than decorative. Some sort of “sink” for the material that would allow it to be useful later in the game would make killing Wulfrum Enemies more gratifying to dispatch in the later stages of the game, doubly so for energy cores.

**Move Ravager to Post-Provi and make him the only bloodstone boss**

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.

**Give HP Bar Special Effect When Boss Is Invincible/Have Absurd Defense As Mechanic**

Some of Calamity bosses have mechanic where basically a boss is invincible or have increased defense that the player must do something else to disable said invincibility. The suggestion is to give HP bar special effect (an example is "shielded" or something similar) to make it clearer that the player is supposed to do something else (or to simply indicate invincible such as phase transition) and not just keep attacking.

It will be easier to explain with the examples below:

Direct reference to this mechanic:

All worm boss that have temporary DR on spawn; 2) Hive Mind (with dank creepers in phase 1); 3) Perforator Hive (when Perf Worm 3 active); 4) Rev+ Mode The Twins (when only 1 entered Phase 2); 5) Calclone (brotherphase); 6) Dragonfolly (phase transition); 7) Main Profaned Guardian (when other guardians are alive); 8) Providence (out of biome enrage); 9) Ceaseless Void (when dark energies alive and final desperation phase); 10) Yharon (subphase + phase transition)

Also applies to these (though less needed):

Cryogen (when shield active); 2) Calclone (bullet hell); 3) Anahita and Leviathan (phase transition); 4) Rev+ Duke Fishron (phase transition); 5) Stormweaver (phase 1); 6) Old Duke (when not tired); 7) DoG (phase transition + during sentinel phase); 8) Exo Mechs (for non-active mechs); 9) Scal (bullet hell, brotherphase)

**Rework Cnidrion.**

In the very early stages of pre-hardmode, when you don’t really have movement accessories it can be hard to avoid the constant wave of projectiles, even though much of Calamity’s earliest content is directed to the desert where it spawns. This doubly goes for underground, where the lack of space can make evasion almost impossible. However, the projectiles are slow, and can be outsped with proper movement very easily. Making the projectiles fire with more delay but higher velocity would solve this, giving slow players space to dodge on the ground but keeping mobile ones on their toes.

Another issue with Cnidrion is that it rarely drops anything of worth, becoming a minor nuisance later on that rarely drops anything. In hardmode it’s even weaker than many normal desert enemies. A way to solve this would be to make Cnidrion rarer, but have miniboss-caliber health and drop items at a higher rate. To avoid becoming obsolete, as certain bosses are killed Cnidrion could gain higher stats and buffs to projectile speed/rate while also dropping more powerful items, such as forbidden fragments in hardmode.

The sound effect wouldn't have to be anything special, just the regular projectile breaking noise that is used by most arrows or bullets would work.

**Tone down the probes in death mode destroyer. Also slightly nerf its amount of segments.**

While The Destroyer itself is alright on death mode, it's probes are not. Despite the nerf to them (no contact damage), they are still extremely annoying and make the fight that much more unsatisfying; Dodging his laser barrage just to be hit by a cheap laser hit from the probes just suck, along with that it adds randomness to the fight.

Also, nerf the amount of segments he has slightly, it's extremely annoying how long it can take to run across his segments.

***Nerf the Ichor Blobs for Malice Mode Perforator Hive.***

In malice mode, perforator is a rather interesting fight, as there is a lot requiring you to focus on, this being the boss itself charging you, firing projectiles that fall down with tight spaces between them, the three different worms that have greatly increased speed and a bit more damage in malice mode, as well as perforator hive's ichor blobs. i feel that these ichor blobs can punish the player a little too much while trying to focus on the boss, its projectiles and the worms. The ichor blobs restrict the movement area the player has and do contact damage, as well as inflicting the ichor debuff for a few seconds. Hitting one of these leaves you open to damage by the boss itself, whether this be by the player's own error, or getting knocked into one or two by the boss, or the worms, feeling just a little punishing. fighting this boss on-tier seems just a little unfair as the sword dropped by the perforator is sought after by the melee class at this point in the game. I feel that these ichor blobs should be either nerfed in some way, limited, or have their frequency decreased, as there is already a lot to deal with when facing this boss on malice.

Rework or just undo the changes to Destroyer's barrage system

The changes to Destroyer's laser barrage system were meant to reduce rng, but it actually had quite the opposite effect in my opinion. The new system allows for a ton of hits, such as him starting a barrage right next to you, and just doesn't feel rewarding to dodge. In vanilla, it gives a cool feeling when you weave through a barrage of projectiles, which is helped by the small laser hitbox, but when you go through the line of lasers in calamity it just feels like you got lucky. The problem is further worsened by Destroyer's ability to fly during the fight, which makes it easy for him to wrap around you with his excessively high speed and force you between the destroyer body and a wall of lasers. The problem gets even worse when Destroyer gets to low hp and can fire 2 barrages of lasers at once, resulting in a lot of situations that just feel really rng and not fun to dodge. For some examples of when destroyer can get free hits: Did he start the barrage too close to you? cheap hit. Did he coil around you while a laser barrage was going? hope you're feeling lucky. Did he do the first barrage while even slightly curved? hope you have the RoD and really good reaction time. Are 2 barrages going at once? sure hope that the angles they're firing from don't just so happen to make it nearly impossible to dodge.

The reason the barrage system works well with Astrum Deus is because of his small segment count relative to other worm bosses. It provides a quick wave of projectiles that you can react to, effectively treating it as one large projectile rather than several small ones. Combine this with it being really hard to get coiled by him makes the attack enjoyable to dodge. However, this barrage style just doesn't translate well to much larger worm sizes for the reasons listed above.

tl; dr: the barrage system for destroyer just makes the fight worse, not better.

**Retier RTN, or buff it to be viable post-polter.**

As it currently stands, I firmly believe that the RTN is unviable for its stage. 15 armor penetration at the stage where most weapons start dealing damage numbers well around 300-900 damage is worthless, and the 10% is negligible, as it will not only get destroyed by the additive damage calculation, but it's also not as worth it as other class specific/defensive/all-class accessories at this stage. (For example; Gauntlets & Ranger scopes for Melee & Ranger respectively, and Affliction & The Community for defensive/all accessories. Necklace of Vexation for nohitting, along with minion slot summoner accessories can also be added to the list of items that can replace RTN).

I have a few ideas on how to potentially fix RTN.

1. Retier it to pre-ML

Instead of having reaper tooth in its recipe, it would be replaced by lunar fragments, preferably something like vortex for better theming.

OR.

2. Buff it reasonably in post-polter.

Instead of its current stats, it's stats would reflect its pre-nerf stats; Having an upside and a downside.
The stats would be;
Ignore enemy DR (RDR not effected.) By around 20%. The damage bonus would be slightly buffed; to around 15% instead of 10%.
However, as a downside, it would reduce your max HP by 15-20%, along with removing 15% DR.
It would also slow you down, by around a -15% movement speed penalty OR reducing wing flight time by a specific amount.
I will feel like these stats are perfectly balanced for the next boss ahead; DoG.
DR ignoring abilities on this boss can BE especially powerful due to most weapons at this stage doing extremely low damage on its body segments, this accessory would help with overall more damage at the cost of being much, much more prone to the DoG himself, due to the lower mobility and reduced HP granted by the accessory.

**Buff, Rework or Delete Momentum Capacitor**

(https://calamitymod.fandom.com/wiki/Momentum_Capacitor if you don't know what it is, I don't blame you) This obscure and godfucking awful accessory summons a tiny electromagnetic field that gives a 15% dmg boost as well as a movement boost to the rogue projectiles that go through it, an interesting gimmick that is simply not worth using due to the following:
-Its outclassed badly by any accessory available, even ones gotten before any pre-hm boss, if you want projectile speed there are multiple rogue accs do that already.
-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 (which takes too long)
-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).

If you want to rework it here are some ideas:
Redirecting projectiles that pass trough it towards enemies.
Making projectiles orbit the field (similar to Ultrakill's nailgun magnet)
Supercharge projectiles having them have more electric/electromagnetic properties
Reworked to not play around stealth

Alternatively just get rid of it as its gimmick; although unique, is rarely ever useful.

**Give prokectile melee weapons better ways to reach bosses early hardmode**

As of right now many vanilla weapons and some calamity weapons included have a very tough time hitting bosses consistently or just keeping up with them especially since they either do massive damage up close like aquatic scourge, destroyer, or brimstone elemental or they move away from you like the twins, cryogen, and skeletron prime. At that stage you do not have the mobility to be able to reach to the bosses or to keep up with them to go in close enough for weapons such as bananarang, ice sickle, frostbrand, crystal blade, and many more struggle to even damage bosses consistently what so ever.

By increasing the weapons range, projectile speed, or projectile lifespan can greatly increase potential dps as it allows them to hit their targets better and more consistently and allows them to compete with other weapons while not having to risk a lot for such a small reward.

The design of the set is to have high out-of-combat utilization, multipurpose armor through effect like increased pickspeed, tile placement, lighting and so on. However as of currently the set simply provide way too little pickspeed (probably the thing people mainly use it for) for it to be useful.

The Reaver Headgear set provide only 10% pickspeed (compare to Mining Set 30% or even Platinum Set 40%) which is way too low at this point of the game. Most of the time the player will rather just use Platinum Set over Reaver because of that alone. On top of that, the Magic Lantern/nearby treasure lighting effect is simply way too weak post-Plantera, and it should be fine to just give it permanent spelunker effect.

Many recipes (especially those using Spectre Bar and Shroomite Bar) also use them in large amount which again requires chlorophyte bar. On top of that, the mass amount of different ore spawn (6 hardmode ore, other ores like aerialite and perennial) also occupy chlorophyte ore spawnplace making them harder to acquire, which only become worse on small/medium world.

For reference, 324 ores (54 bars) are required to make chlorophyte armor alone, and the player usually need more to make any weapons using chlorophyte bar (especially for things like chlorophyte bullet). Without Calamity ore spawnboost mechanic (like current hardmode ores), the current cost is simply too high.

Another thing that could be done to buff the barracuda gun is to give it unlimited range or longer range since most bosses also go slightly out of range which causes the projectiles to go back and lose a ton of damage

**Tone down the oppressiveness of Ares' attacks.**

Currently, Ares is by far the most threatening exo mech. While this on it's own wouldn't be a bad thing, it's made bad by the fact that Ares' attacks are often simply too unfair. These attacks make it so that:

-It's essentially suicide to go towards Ares' laser cannon.
-It's essentially suicide to go up during mecha mayhem.
-(In malice) gauss nuke can be extremely unfair to dodge if not falling.
-Tesla cannon can make massive laser walls if, say, the player RoD's at the wrong time (not a huge issue).

I'm not saying Ares needs to be completely reworked or made easy, I'm just saying that at this point in time, many of his attacks are unfair, unfun, and some are just plain stupid (gauss nuke having an absolutely massive, almost invisible blast radius, laser cannon either not doing anything or insta-killing you), while others are negligible at best (what's plasma cannon again?). Not only are the attacks unfair, but while these attacks are present, it'll be very hard to balance the fight as a whole, as these attacks essentially force the player to fallgod, invalidating almost the entire fight. While Ares is present, adding new attacks will be redundant due to fallgodding, and adding attacks that force the player to stop falling will be unfair. Ares as a whole has massive potential, but currently it's just too flawed for players to consider this potential.

**Make the Sleepy Octopod, Sky Dragon's Fury, and Dragon Rage deal True Melee damage with the spinning staff/blade**

These weapons meet the criteria to be considered true melee weapons, being close-ranged melee weapons that either don't shoot projectiles or only do so when hitting enemies with the blade (with the exception of the Sky Dragon's Fury's alt-fire). There are also weapons that aren't standard swords/spears that still deal true melee damage like the Arkhalis, Phosphorvescent Gauntlet, and Murasama, so the requirements are flexible enough to account for them. However, these attacks aren't considered true melee attacks, and as a result will not receive true melee damage bonuses or activate true melee specific synergies, such as the Soaring/Titan Scale potions, Hide of Astrum Deus, or Bloodflare Armor set bonus. The Sleepy Octopod and Sky Dragon's Fury are very rarely used, and giving this bonus to them would help increase their usage and viability, although the Dragon Rage would stand a good chance of needing a nerf if received the buff, considering how good it already is against SCal's Brimstone Hearts and XM-05 Thanatos.

**Make Proficiency Grant Useful Non-Combat Bonus Instead Of Mediocre Class Specific Bonus**

Proficiency bonus currently is intentionally mediocre at best and completely unnoticeable at worst (for gameplay balance), especially pre-ML. Proficiency only exist as a "congratulation you use a class a lot, here have tiny amount of damage bonus" and to further disincentivize class switching. It gives no sense of "growth" for its intention as an RPG-like mechanic as its effect is simply too weak.

Thus the suggestion is to rework the type of bonus proficiency grant to non-combat bonus instead so that there is no concern for breaking gameplay balance.

Effects such as Item Grab Range and Money gain (such as more money drop from slain enemy) are desired effect all-game long that the player couldn't get since removal of Lore effects.
Furthermore (though less balanced), effect such as Movement and Flight Speed when not in combat/no boss alive is a big deal for exploration/traversing the world.
Even effect like higher drop rate of rare item or more drops from enemy can work.
This way the player is rewarded for playing the game more rather than only playing a specific class more.

(The following are just an example) Simply unify all Class Proficiency to under an overall/general proficiency so that there is no worry of class-switching will disable the bonus. The intention is so that the above bonus can be granted without limiting the player to only lock themselves to playing a class. Otherwise if class-specific proficiency is to be keep, simply make it so that the player can still earn class-proficiency level but make the bonus granted based on a hidden "general proficiency".

On top of that, it pretty much forces you to spam Kindle Staff to get the "best damage", and overall decreasing the possibility of variety in your minion builds.

**Make Boss Effects, Rage and Adrenaline Not Consume Buff Slot**

Buff slot basically serve as a limiter for how much advantage the player can get through most notably potions (basically stop you from spamming potions), and it is important to not overcapped your buff slot as you can potentially lose some buff if enemy apply debuff to you or cooldown (notably Rod of Discord and HP pot). However, the mentioned 3 buffs should be excluded from buff slot due to the nature of how they exist.

Boss Effects is a consistent buff that (basically) has no effect in the boss fight itself, as in everything it does do not have to be applied in a debuff form. All of its effect can simply be a continuous effect when a boss is alive. The only use of it existing as a buff is to tell the player what it does, which can be substituted with a special UI that functions the same.

Rage and Adrenaline on the other hand, while granting the player actual combat benefit (damage boost), should not be a buff as it can potentially punish the player. They occupy two buff slot which the player is not sure can be accounted for as there is no guarantee that they are able to activate either (especially Adrenaline). The player should not be punished for potentially lossing a potion buff for doing unexpectedly good in a boss fight.

In Metal gear, the fight would begin with the instrumental and during the climax of the battle, would add vocals to the music to enhance the mood of the battle.

**Buff post pl set wings or nerf the post-ml tracers to make the set wings an actual option**

Right now, calamity pretty much forces you to use the tracers, cause their speed is unmatched during flight and taking up two slots for boots and wings in accessories isnt just optimal. This makes the set wings pretty much useless, cause using the boots are always more optimal

How to change this? Well i got a couple of ideas

Make actual custom benefits to the setbonus use of the wings instead of just raw stats. For example, silva could like spawn homing leaf projectiles for a bit of damage (this is just a 30 second made up idea). This adds actual comparativity to the wings, if the buff is strong enough of course. This risks making the buff too strong do, so it would have to be made w care
Make you able to use boots in the vanity slot, nerfing the boots a ton but keeping the sprint effect as the same. This would for example, reduce the wings flight time or something like that a bit when used to not be op, but keeping the sprint momentum and buffing the set wings.
Just nerfing the boots sounds like bad changes, but it could work. Imo patches should be bringing things on to the same level w buffs, not nerfing the good thing cause the tracers arent certainly broken. But a couple of nerfs that could happen are reducing on flight speed on tracers or forcing a sprint delay after landing.

First, I think similar to the Draedon labs, Shrines should have some sort of tracking system, because at the moment, most people who don't use spoilers or wiki wouldn't even know these exist, because most people aren't insane enough to mine out their entire world on the chance that one of these exists. A tracking method would both tell people, hey there's something cool to find, and tell them at least the general direction of where to find it

Also, the loot in them should be more balanced, as right now some of the biomes have really good loot, like the desert, mushroom biome and cavern, and then... there's literally every other biome (besides abyss which is a WIERD case). I think that all of these should at least provide some sore of warrant to use early on, because right now they're usually found so late into the game that they're useless, or even when you find them they already are useless. For example, the trinket of Chi's effect has little to no use, and it's not a generally easy one to find, being spawnable anywhere in the top 1/4 or so of terrain. So I think they should really have some more reward backing up the difficulty to find these tiny structures.

This is also just a small side thing, But I do think some other biomes would do great with shrines (Sulphurous sea, Space, Brimstone Crag, Jungle, Sunken Sea)

**Allow the Clothier to Sell Ancient Cloth after Defeating Plantera**

One of the main summoner weapons that one shoots for after Plantera is the Sand Sharknado Staff. However, one of the ingredients can prove frustrating to obtain. Ancient Cloth. While not a rare drop, Ancient Cloth can still be annoying to obtain. Since the Witch Doctor sells Butterfly Dust after Golem, which is an ingredient in Resurrection Butterfly among others, why not have the Clothier sell Ancient Cloth after Plantera? Not only will this help getting the Sand Sharknado Staff less of a hasssle, it will also help reduce the amount of painful grinding in Auric Tesla armor as the Magic Carpet will be easier to craft.

**Make Wall of Flesh roar before firing lasers**

Currently WoF has a roar sound effect that plays at a set interval during the fight, not really being attached to anything in the fight. If the roar sound effect played before WoF fired his lasers, it would be much easier to tell when he's about to fire and dodge accordingly. Right now you do not have much time to react to the lasers and the timing between them is constantly changing throughout the entire fight. The red lasers could also have the roar be pitch shifted up, similarly to Eye of Cthulhu's repeated dash attack to indicate that the Wall is getting stronger.

**Rework Sand Sharknado Staff**

Don't get me wrong, this summon staff is perfectly okay for when you get it, being post-Plantera.
However, I do feel like it is pretty weird in its concept, because of Tempest Staff, the Duke Fishron equivalent.
While those 2 share extremely similar aspects, they're not linked whatsoever, but why so?
I know that previous versions of Calamity made the Sand Sharknado Staff an upgrade of the Tempest Staff, thus making it a bit less weird gameplay-wise, so would it be too much asked to bring that system back?
If not, why not make Sand Sharknado Staff more unique? Maybe make the Tempest Staff a slow but high damage variant while making SS a quicker but weaker equivalent (or vice-versa)?
Or even take the idea a bit further and change SS entirely, making it function in a completely different way?
Because as of now, Sand Sharknado Staff is in a pretty odd grey area, being very similar to Tempest Staff, a vanilla weapon, but not being linked to it in the slightest, thus creating another situation like Forbidden Sun and Inferno Fork.

**Add a method to spawn the plague pre-golem and by extension PBG too**

Currently, PBG being locked behind golem is weird as every other hardmode boss can be spawned at pretty much any point. This makes PBG and the plague feel a bit disconnected. A solution for this could be having you manually summon in the plague via a crafted item. Adding lihizard bricks into the recipe would add a heavy emphasis on summoning it post-golem but you would be able to craft it any time by going into the temple early. A few ways the plague could better be incorporated into earlier hardmode are listed below.

Reduce spawn rate and strength of plague enemies until golem is defeated
Lock certain plague equipment behind traditionally post-golem crafting materials (example: scoria bars, life allot)
Lock other drops behind plaguebringer goliath (unable to drop until defeated, similar to some astral enemies)

These changes would make the plague more consistent with the non-linearity of the rest of hardmode without nerfing plague equipment so much that it's useless post-golem.

After the first one is defeated, it should drop mithril/orichalcum bars. After the second one, they should both start to drop adamantite/titanium bars instead. Finally, once the third is defeated, they all drop hallowed bars like normal. There would be a 50% chance of dropping either variant from any kill.
This would keep the way the two metals are obtained when the ore rework is enabled consistent with hallowed metal, in that it's dropped from bosses in bar form as well as spawning in the world in ore form.

**provide some larger gaps in the perforator's rain attack**

The perforators provide a lot of pressure with their rain attack, however it is often the best choice to outrun the attack, especially when the worms are out. Every single gap is the exact same size, which is good and consistent, however the gaps are very small. What i suggest is every so often, one of the projectiles in the rain is randomly not fired, leaving an occasionaly larger gap. This could still leave it equally spaced overall, while also providing slightly less pressure with the attack

**change how WoF fires it's lasers, or add some new variations to it's laser attack**

Currently, WoF has 2 actual attacks (besides from being a continuous source of contact damage): shooting demon scythes from it's mouth when summoning leeches (in Rev+), and firing volleys of lasers. The lasers are on a set timer, however this timer is put on hold when the eyes do not have a line of sight to the player. This can make not having an optimal arena quite difficult, as it can make it hard to predict which eye will fire lasers, and when (especially since, in rev+, the <50% hp lasers do a lot of damage). An additional problem is that, when you have a completely flat floor and roof, the boss can become extremely dodgeable, to the point of it not being hard at all.

what i suggest is that WoF gets some varitation to it's lasers, or gets more than just a damage increase to it's lasers at <50% hp. something like Calamitas Clone's old splitting lasers, lasers that can go through blocks and AREN'T on set timers, but have a telegraph, or lasers that start off slow but accelerate over time (like it's enraged form does) would make the fight much less static in terms of it's ranged attacks.

** Add a bit of plant life to the ocean**

This game is built on exploration, the wonder of seeing and finding places you have not seen or ever heard of, almost every biome in this game has that opportunity. Except the ocean.

Now see, the ocean is a very big biome for its size, which further beings up the question if it should get something or not since it is very big, but I think the ocean should get a little love. The shells and tiny corals get a bit boring, well, really boring really quickly, and that means that barely anyone wants to go to the ocean besides bossfights, materials, or just draining it into the underworld. What could change this and better the view of the mod is a bit of life in the ocean. Maybe take those useless items you get from fishing, like seaweed for example, and be able to plant it in the ocean. Or have some grow naturally in it. This would bring wonder to the ocean, something new, something even vanilla players have yet to see. Not just that, maybe add some tiny fish in those weeds, this will most certainly bring more wonder. The seaweeds in the ocean could maybe add a new vanity set. A seaweed skirt would be the most logical. Oh and dont forget the two other items that I can remember, the shoe and the can. Just adding those two sprites, not moving or swaying, could make more sense aince you usually fish them out of the ocean. Of course a rusty can and a abandoned shoe will have no purpose other than to be there, but it is still a nice site. Not much needs to be added to the ocean for it to be a bit more pleasing to see, and I believe these four things could absolutely improve the users experience.

**Rework Dark God's Sheath Guarantee Crit and Replace With a Different Bonus**

Dark God's Sheath had always been a problematic accessory in that it is completely bloated, namely that it invalidate all crit chance on rogue resulting in wasted stats. While the bonus is good, this significantly reduce build variety as you simply cannot build crit in anyway whatsoever (and for weapon that have high crit to naturally be at a disadvantage when used with DGS). This also results in Rogue class in general being obnoxiously hard to balance (as having the accessory or not significantly changes the build and performance).

The suggestion is that DGS guarantee crit should be changed to something that is more universal or a stat that will not be wasted/can be built around. For example just give it better base stat on the accessory, stand still bonus (which is largely forgotten in rogue accessory), make stealth strike apply special buff/debuff and so on.

**Earlier Calamitas appearances**

The recent Dreadon questine did a good job of making it feel like the character is a cohesive part of any terraria world. I feel like other characters could benefit from this. With Yharim in self-isolation, providence regenerating, and Dog and Xeroc paying the player no notice, the character that would make the most sense is Calamitas, especially with her more humanoid redesign.

I'll avoid getting too specific, but I feel that there are several points where she could possibly appear

Beating the wall of flesh for the first time
Entering the brimstone crags for the first time
Beating the Brimstone elemental for the first time
Beating the Calamitas clone for the first time
Killing the first lunar pillar
Crafting a weapon with an extended crafting tree for the first time
Beating Yharon for the first time
Completing the Dreadon Beacon
Any mix of these, or ones that the developers come up with could work

The interactions could be as simple as simply watching the player silently, teleporting away when they get too close/far, or it could include dialogue from her. I will leave that up the developers

If it interrupts gameplay too much, or becomes annoying on repeat playthroughs, a config to disable it could be implemented alongside it

**Alter slime god slightly to make it seem more post-skeletron**

Currently, slime god is in a situation where it does not feel like it belongs post-skeletron but rather post-eater/brain. This could result in confusion for newer players (especially for those without boss checklist) who don't know the slime god should be fought post-skeletron. There are a few things that could be done to fix this.

Adding planty mush to the recipe of overloaded sludge
This would make it significantly harder than it currently is to make the summon, which isn't necessarily bad. Right now there's nothing even discouraging players from making the summon pre-boss. By adding planty mush experienced players could still fight the slime god early by surviving the abyss or knowing that you can fish it up while newer players would probably only craft the summon post-skeletron due to the hostility of the abyss and the obscurity of fishing it up. This also fits with the lore as the slime god's lore states that slimes are made of dead plant matter and water.
Giving the slime god some kind of distance limiting ability
Right now the slime god is so easy to do by running away rapidly that many players will find the summon and attempt to fight the boss as soon as they get good mobility (such as bundle of balloons). Adding the distance limitation would put a stronger emphasis on finding good gear to survive and fight back rather than running away. Experienced players would still be able to fight the slime god early if they're good at dodging but newer players would struggle and most likely fight it at the intended stage.

With these changes, slime god would feel like a post-skeletron boss. New players would be able to understand that you should fight it later on but experienced players would still be able to fight it early and get rewarded for doing so.

This option was overnerfed. While its still very tanky, nerfing its minion slots from 6 to 2 as well as its summon damage bonus from 40% to 30% has reduced its damage output so much that its bulkiness can't compensate for its lack of damage output. At this point it's pretty much entirely overshadowed by Silva which has more than double its minion damage boost, a built-in summon, and 3 additional minion slots on top of lifesteal and a revive. The hybrid class aspect can't save it considering that it has only 11% damage and 5% crit for classes other than summoner, which really isn't enough. I'd suggest moving some of the summon damage bonus to all-class damage bonus and/or increasing the bonus crit chance to make the hybrid gameplay more viable.

What could happen is during certain events(such as day time or acid rain) you can catch Sulphur sea fishing items, and at other events(such as night) you can catch the abyss fishing items. This would add some strategy to fishing there as well, making it more interesting. This could also give the opportunity to add some items detailing more of the lore of the area, as the lore item is very vague.

**Give Dragonfolly's Half-Circle Feather Better Telegraph For When It Turns**

Referring to Dragonfolly's attack where it spawn feathers in a half circle around the player, it will afterwards: i) speed up and moves towards the player, ii) slow down until almost remain stationary, iii) immediately turns and chase towards the player. This attack (iii) looks extremely unatural and hard to keep track of especially considering the drastic movement required to dodge Dragonfolly's charge. The slow down being the only telegraph is not enough because it is highly likely to not be always in the screen for the slow down.

The suggestion is to give it more telegraph to indicate when it will turn (iii). Most notably, a visual telegraph will works well here. For example, have the feather slowly turning brighter/darker (redder/blacker) as it slows down in ii) until it turns (where it is wholely red/black). This way it has much greater visual clarity for when it will chase the player.

Some items require ridiculous amounts of materials to craft, like Tarragon armor requiring at least 2 Providence fights to get enough geodes and even though farming bosses is a good way to get money, it does feel repetitive after a while.
The underground might be a bit charged ore-wise already and tying a material to an enemy might be exploitable, but I'd still like to have the choice of either fighting a boss again, or just mine or farm on smaller enemies the material I need, which would be better in the long run.

**Remove the 'A Desert Nuisance has awoken!' messages from the spawn message of the Desert Scourge**

When I start the Desert Scourge fight, I'm always confused as to why the Desert Nuisances get their own messages, and here's why:

They aren't bosses, and other minions of bosses (like BOC's Creepers) don't get the same privilege.
They don't get a defeat message as well.
It makes the Desert Nuisances feel as powerful as the scourge itself.

`Add in a mini map icon for Cragmire Maw, and Nuclear Terror`

I don't know if this is just me, but whenever I see a health bar pop up on the screen, I open my map up immediately and when I do this during Acid Rain and don't see the icons for the minibosses, I get a tad bit annoyed. And having to search for the cragmire maw before it despawns can become very tedious. And all the other mini bosses have an icon on the map (idk if the cnidrions do bc i run from them or kill them right away), so it'd make sense for the acid rain event mini bosses to have one too.

**Rework the Lead Core and add it to the Auric Mage and Summoner helmets instead of Silva armor**

Edit: Turns out the armor does inherit the effects it’s just left off the tooltip. Still though I do feel like it should be somewhere in the tooltip so you’re aware it’s there and I feel like the accessory could still be made more accessible for the other 3 classes that still need the thing but can’t use it.

The Psychotic Amulet is a bit of an anomaly accessory, in that it only benefits two classes but is still used in all of the Auric Tesla helmets. This makes it purely a filler accessory and another pointless item to grind for when crafting Auric Tesla armor.

The Lead Core suffers from this as well, but even more so as it’s very difficult to obtain after beating Polterghast due to the changed drop rates, and requires going through the full event. It’s also solely used for the Silva armor despite not really doing anything related to it in particular.

I propose that the Lead Core be reworked to be a mage/summoner accessory (and the Psychotic Amulet gaining melee buffs), and add them directly to the crafting recipe of their respective Auric Tesla helmets, instead of the Psychotic Amulet crafting all five, and make them inherit the effects of the accessory they use.

Alternatively the Lead Core could replace the Frost Shield in the Auric Tesla Breastplate and make it inherit the debuff immunity, and maybe rework the Frost Shield to craft the Mage and Summoner helmets, or just make the Psychotic Amulet apply to all classes instead of just Rogue and Ranger (and make all helmets inherit the effects).

**Make the Hardmode Crafting stations obtainable pre mech**

Possibly through WoF drops or an NPC like the merchant, make some way for players to be able to obtain the HM anvil and forge without killing the mech bosses or obtaining any hardmode bars, allowing players to craft HM tier items without having to kill mechs, while still locking out the HM ores themselves, and not requiring all the problematic recipes to just use pre hardmode crafting stations

This would fix the big issue of the new HM changes removing much of the non-linear boss progression, allowing other HM bosses to be summoned and have summons crafted without having to kill the mechs, for example making the brimmy and calclone summons craftable again, while locking down that HM ore progression still

It also fixes the mage not having armor issue, as it opens up the Daedalus set if the player goes out of their way to kill cryogen first

This also unlocks other bosses armor and weapon tiers, for example the ashes of calamity items, now not making the mechs block you out of unlocking the items you just killed a boss to craft

**Buff/Rework Executioner’s Blade**

The Executioner’s Blade has two major flaws that make it extremely ineffective for late-game Rogue builds: like all Rogue weapons, it has wet paper damage output without the usage of stealth, and its extremely fast use speed means that items like the Eclipse Mirror that is essential for Rogues to have a reasonable damage output don’t function properly, because the incredibly low use time will mean you always accidentally use the weapon again, depleting the second half of your stealth meter.

As I see it, there are three ways to remove this problem, which I believe would be enough to push it to a viable level:

The first is to just buff the weapon’s damage without Stealth. It’s the simplest way to make it as viable as its main competitor, the Eclipse’s Fall, however it’s a boring and lazy way of rebalancing and kind of diminishes Rogue’s gimmick of waiting for a stealth strike to deal big damage.

The second is to add a short (like 1/3-1/2 of a second) where using the weapon doesn’t reduce Stealth. This way would preserve the class’ purpose without needing to rework the weapon, and make it more viable, but idk if that system is really in place rn and might be a bitch to code idk.

The third way is of reworking it entirely, but that’s likely unnecessary considering its only real problem exists with the Eclipse Mirror.

**new ammo types for the more unique ranger weapon**

ranger is a class with extreme variety in every weapon because of the ammo "mechanic" you have homing bullets and arrows, DOT bullets and arrows, shattering bullets and arrows, slowing bullets and arrows and that's not the end of it, however this goes just for bullets and arrows when ranger has rockets and darts (and some other even less important/unchangeable in the code) types of ammo for different ranger weapons, but there is almost no variety for these other types of weapon as most of the unique types of ranger weapons have 1 or 4 types of ammo to chose from all of which act pretty much the same with a status effect slapped on to make it different then the rest of the ammo types.

adding rockets that have something different then destroy or not destroy and small blast less damage or big blast more damage,
or making the new types of darts with materials calamity made to have special and new unique effects (like how crystal darts is the only ammo to bounce in the game) effects when used in a dart guns,
these changes can give more versatility and thus a extra reason to use these unique weapons.

**Add a grace period where no bosses can naturally spawn for a few in-game days after starting Hardmode**

Currently, the Mechanical Bosses and Plantera can naturally spawn immediately after beginning hardmode. Depending on what time the Wall of Flesh is killed, this can be as soon as a few minutes after, meaning there is no time to get weapons, armor or even Cosmolight. In my playthrough after the wall was killed, Skeletron Prime spawned in. On night 2, the Destroyer spawned and on night 3, the Twins tried to spawn. This isn't a normal occurrence, I was quite unlucky here, however getting jumped immediately forces the player to either relog (which some consider to be cheesy) or to skip the night somehow. A grace period would allow early hardmode to flow a little bit better, allowing the player to prepare somewhat before fighting any bosses.

While every class has its survival quirks, they are not consistent enough to be applied on every armor in the game, and the difference, in my opinion, is too high and noticeable on some points of the game. Mages have consistently half of the defense of ranger helms without an apparent reason, stardust armor ends up having 40 less defense points than solar armor without even taking into account the defensive buffs that the armor applies, and so on. As the DPS of the classes had been equalised to be consistent across classes, the defense between them should not be so dispar by default unless certain armors give specific classes more survivality than others (life steal, regen, etc)

**Slightly reduce Ares' Gauss Nuke's area of effect**

I personally think the gauss nuke has the potential to be a fair attack. Whereas Skeletron Prime's bombs are easy to get away from by just not being on the ground, this gives the attack a bit more relevance as you kind of have to make sure to stay far away from it, adding an extra level of difficulty to the fight.

However, especially in the higher difficulties, it becomes harder to manage, as even if you are in its AOE before it explodes, it's near impossible to escape that area by movement speed alone. And when all 3 mechs are alive, this becomes somewhat problematic as one can get caught up in the other attacks and not have time to watch out for the nuke, especially for instance if thanatos is in your path. I think either reducing the spread of the shockwave or at least slowing it down slightly would make the whole fight a lot more manageable.

**Buff Stardust Armor (Either Its Defense or the Stardust Guardian)**

Stardust Armor had received harsh nerf for Calamity's system of rebalancing, reducing its minion slot from 5 to 3. While Calamity accounted for the nerf (by balancing summoner weapons with less minion slot required to do on-par damage), the other aspect of the armor received no compensation for what basically nerfed a Glass-Cannon Armor to Paper-Pistol Armor.

The difference in defense of Stardust Armor with other luminite armor is too big (38 vs 94, 62, 71, 46 for melee, ranger, rogue, mage respectively), when other 5-class armor Calamtiy added generally have defense difference (for example ranger and summoner) to be closer to around ~20%, while here is around 60+%
Stardust Guardian is unironically completely useless. It is not automatic (basically a sentry that have awkward control to put it down) and deal pre-Hardmode level of damage. Thus Stardust Armor basically have no set-bonus on top of everything else going on (while Solar Shield, Vortex Stealth, Nebula Boosters and Empyrean Rage/Wrath and projectile are all very useful effect)

Tldr: Stardust Armor is way underpowered compare to other class armor on-tier (except for offensive capability in minion stat) that it should be buffed.

**Reduce the randomness of SCal's attack pattern**

Currently in her mobile phase whenever SCal fires brimstone darts she has a chance to instead launch a fireblast or gigablast. This can cause a difficulty spike and makes it less rewarding for a player to memorize her rather lengthy attack pattern when she can deviate from it randomly. The bullet hells/bros phase already provide a pretty major challenge for reactive dodging and similar skills, so I think it would be fine if her primary attack cycle was more pattern based. The brimstone darts attack could be made more threatening to compensate for this if the devs feel it is necessary.

**Remove the actual invisibility effect from potions outside boss fights**

Invisibility granted by Invisibility potions and their upgrades give a variety of benefits to the rogue class, and its desirable to have them always on. Having your character being always invisible is not only extremely boring since it defeats the whole point of your charcter having access to vanity, dyes and such, but its also a hinderance since it difficults dodging because its quite literally turning your hitbox invisible.

Calamity recognises this problem and adresses this by making your player visible during boss fights, but the two problems remain outside of said encounters.

Adding a semi transparent effect would also arise the exact same two problems, and particle effects can also get boring if they are always applied (see cadance potion), so i suggest to just remove the invisibility effect in favor of gameplay, and maybe rename it so the naming makes sense, ie Light foot potion.

**Make Cryonic and Post-Cryogen Items Premech Sidegrade Options**

An issue we found with Cryogen in this update was a lot of his content became irrelevant or forgotten by the time they we're obtainable due to them requiring the 2nd mech boss to be completed before obtaining them and post-2ndmech opening up many 3rd hm ore armor sets, weapons, and tools. Cryogen is widely considered a premech boss, and before the update, most player often went into the mech fights with Daedalus and Starlight gear. Now with the introduction of reworked HM ores bringing them back to relevance, the rework has put much of Cryogen's gear in an odd situation.

With more reworks to HM ores on way, I say the Cryonic armor and tools should be moved to the same tier as cobalt or mythril, and act as side-grades to supplement the player with more options.

Starlight tools should act as building tools in the same vein as Spectre tools do with their +4 range.

With the HM ore armors soon to be getting set-bonuses to give the player damage based set bonus, Daedalus should become a mobility or survivability option armor set. Bosses around pre-plantera/calamitus have varying amounts of mobility required for dodging and it will likely give players incentives on higher difficulties to swap armors on a fight-to-fight basis, rather than use the next progression armor set.

**add the ability to remove the sniper's scope zoom out ability by disabling the visuals on the accessory slot it's on**

currently the sniper scope is one of the better ranger accessories for post golem, however the fact you got to stay with this giant downside of the zoom out is not only annoying but can be negatively impacting in a boss fight especially in the post moon lord phase where guns like the infinity and shredder exist using both buttons to shoot different types of projectiles.

during combat situations the zoom out can mess your perception by right clicking making your hitbox be on the side rather then the center (like how it is with every other class and playthrough without the sniper scope), as i said before this also makes the guns with 2 modes of fire (one for each mouse button) almost unusable because of how much your camera moves when using the right click fire.
meanwhile during normal base operations like buying and selling this is a huge annoyance because the sniper scope will change the location of the NPCs when trying to click on them making you miss more then you should and the alternative solution of switching the item in your hand from a range weapon to anything else is just admitting there is a problem and doing nothing about it.

this change is mainly a QoL feature to allow players to use the accessory in peace... alternatively instead of making a disable button, making the zoom out function differently by just furthering your view distance without changing location of everything else on the map can make sense as it will do what the sniper scope envisioned in a better way.

Damage immunity should not be encouraged as player should dodge attacks themselves (just like how dodge accessory are reworked to be reliable but have CD). In that sense Spectrail Veil is too much of a low effort, get out of jail card.

DoG switches from Crawltipede to worm AI with little to no warning, especially in Death mode where the sky is always black. Switching to Crawltipede AI gives him increased movement and turning speed. This is further amplified by the “A God does not fear death” phase, which gives him a sizable speed boost already. In cases of being near his head due to weapon ranges, this can cause high damage, unfair hits due to the player not knowing he was going to switch. There should be a subtle warning that he is about to change AI so that the player has a chance to prepare for the increase in his maneuverability. The timer for the switch also seems to be inconsistent when it comes to DoG’s teleports, adding to the unpredictability factor.

A possible warning could be to have DoG himself slightly change color before his AI changes. If he is about to change to Crawltipede AI, he could change to a subtle blue, and a subtle purple for Worm AI.

I suggest making the tooth balls move much faster, but not home in on the player, and when they're close to the player, explode into homing teeth that home in more aggressively but last a little less time, and also the cloud lingering for less time.

Removing them from the recipes (if not from the mod as a whole) will decrease the random item bloat.

**Move the start of the jungle plague and pbg to different points in progression**

"A plague has befallen the jungle" is a pretty exciting message to see, and a number of new enemies are added. And then you grind plague cell canisters and kill pbg and its sort of... over. Because almost all the plague content is basically on the same tier, this no longer feels like as much of a "permanent consequence" of your actions and you don't really get to appreciate the post-plague jungle as much. If plague happened earlier in progression you'd get more time to appreciate plague weapons and enemies and it would feel less shoehorned into one tiny point in progression. It would be more of an exciting moment to finally fight pbg when this is something that's had more time being built towards in the gameplay.

**Remove/rework aimed bullet hell projectiles**

For context, aimed bullet hell projectiles were added in the Draedon Update, with the intent of preventing players from standing still during bullet hells. They express themselves as projectiles shot directly at the player during bullet hells, in addition to the normal bullet hell pattern.
They are present in these fights:
Providence, regularly in the star cocoon;
Devourer of Gods, once in all individual laser walls;
Yharon, very often in all bullet hells;
Supreme Calamitas and her Clone, as horizontal hellblasts in all bullet hells.

This change, much like timed damage reduction and timed aggression, was an awful rendition of a seemingly good idea - to reduce or disencourage passive/cheesy strategies. Both of the mechanics mentioned were removed, so why not aimed projectiles?
Bullet hells in Calamity are characterized by mostly stable patterns that the player can weave through, or dodge by being in specific locations. The aimed projectiles disrupt this stability, forcing the player to be constantly on the run or tank some hits, which, in my opinion, undermines the quality and fun of the fight.

As I've said, the idea is definitely good, but the current iteration is not ideal. The least it could use is a rework that respects the individual bullet hells and integrates aimed projectiles in a healthy, satisfactory fashion. Right now, it's just annoying to most people.

**Increase the homing/turning speed of the Gallileo gladius projectile**

The weapon should be good against DoG in theory and is even recommended in the class setups wiki, but in practice it has less average dps than even some pre-polter weapons. The reason it has such little dps is because the projectile zooms past the head and hits it once, then wastes all it's pierce and lifespan on the body segments while it tries to catch back up with the head. It also encounters a similar problem when trying to hit the tail because it just can't keep up. Increasing the turning and/or homing speed of the projectile would significantly increase the viability of this weapon against DoG.

**Give DoG a Warning Before Laser Wall Attack Begins**

One thing of note is that DoG DO have telegraph for laser wall before it begins, being that he turn invisible.

However, this suggestion is still posted for the fact that DoG is CONSISTENTLY not in your screen for many part of the boss fight, thus the telegraph simply do not do enough.

If the player cannot keep track of when the first Laser Wall begins, they most likely will be hit by it for being unprepared (and the precise positioning required to dodge the attack). Currently the most consistent way to keep track of the attack is to set a timer (as the attack happens on a timer), which is not intuitive and a timer-method should never be required to efficiently dodge an attack, given that telegraph do its job but much better design-wise.

The Laser Wall attack should be given some sort of telegraph/warning that is not DoG turning invisible (which requires DoG in screen), and preferably globally and independent from DoG's current position.

Nerf the Purge Guzzler

This weapon can melt all the sentinels, Polterghast, DoG and still viable for Yharon although it is just a post-Providence weapon. For context, the second strongest weapon for DoG in my opinion is Phantasmal Fury which is capable of 10k dps. However, Purge Guzzler can deal like 30k-40k dps if you fly upward and blast DoG in his face when starts ramming you. With a well timed Adrenaline, DoG can be easily defeated by blasting him before the laser phrase. In Yharon's fight, Purge Guzzler works just fine, still dealing 20k-30k dps, even outperforming the Deathhail Staff or Face Melter. Increasing the i-frames duration of the weapon might work but idk, i'm a player not a developer.

**Add A Brief Explanation Of The Early Hardmode Rework To The Pwnhammer's description**

As many of us have seen in the server, the new hardmode ore rework is quite confusing and easy to miss for new players who are used to the vanilla altar method of generating ores. I propose a brief explanation of the rework to the description of the item they will most likely use to generate ores, the pwnhammer. The explanation does not have to be long, something simple such as 'Hardmode ores now spawn when killing mechs instead of altars' would do. This would allow the player to be immediately notified of the change without having the chat flooded after the Wall of Flesh was defeated, which is invasive and just fills the chat with more status messages. Furthermore, the colour of the explanation could be changed (if possible) to make it stand out compared to the surrounding tooltip text. If this change is implemented, people would have an in-game way to be notified to the unusual change that calamity 1.5 brought upon.

**Reworks to Cal Clone's bullet hells**

Cal Clone's bullet hells added in 1.5 are a great idea on paper, as something to lead the player into the SCal fight later on. However, their execution... isn't exactly the greatest. At times, they can feel super restrictive and/or wonky to dodge.
Firstly, the hellblasts accelerate too early. If you were to stand still during the bullet hell, the hellblasts would barely be passed the player before they start accelerating away. In a way, this makes it extremely difficult to move even slightly with the hellblasts, as you can easily get caught off guard by the hellblasts accelerating. The simple solution, of course, would be making the hellblasts accelerate later. Making them accelerate even a second later would make a crucial difference. An alternative, more radical idea would be removing the acceleration altogether and implementing some sort of aura during bullet hells. This would allow for the bullet hells to feel fairer while also drawing more parallels to SCal and not being restrictive of your arena.
Second, the aimed projectiles in BH2 alongside the early acceleration make the bullet hell nearly impossible to escape from scott-free. BH2 literally just recycles BH1's pattern and adds fireblasts. BH1's pattern is already restrictive enough, so why add fireblasts on top of that? The aimed projectiles are naturally a scapegoat, but a valid scapegoat at that, as they aren't really necessary since the fireblasts will force you to move. Removing them would make BH2 feel more fair while not detracting much from the difficulty.

**Add more free time at the beginning and end of Malice/Night Prov's -300 true damage bullet hell**

Providence's Night/Malice fight has the glittery bullet hell that deals -300 "healing", which is a huge deal of true damage and should be survived at all costs. However, also in Prov's Malice/Night fight is the twin beam attack, and the crystal shower attack - both of which don't seem to quite check for how long they should wait before and after the bullet hell. VERY consistently, the second true damage bullet hell will be cut off by the twin beam attack, while the bullet hell projectiles are still out. This creates an almost impossible situation most of the time, as to read where to be for the twin beam attack, you have to have Providence on-screen; right after the bullet hell, where you want to be as far away from Providence as possible.

TLDR; The damage of the bullet hell is fine, and works on it's own, but it keeps getting messed with by other attacks coming into it when they shouldn't. Add some projectile-deletion or timer that makes this unwinnable situation not happen.

**Make Tier 3 Acid Rain a way of obtaining Bloodworms**

On its own, the T3 event doesn't add much in terms of rewards, with only the two items from Nuclear Terrors and more or less only serving as an Old Duke summon. On the other hand, Bloodworms are incredibly rare, and the spawn rate being halved after encountering Old Duke only makes them even harder to find. As a result, summoning the boss becomes tedious compared to even other bosses that require a consumable item, either needing the player to grind through an entire event or painstakingly hunting down the critter.

Both of these problems could be solved by making Bloodworms serve as the main "material" of the T3 event, whether it be through making the critters spawn much more commonly during the event or making them drop from the enemies, either in critter or item form. This also strengthens Old Duke's connection to the acid rain, as well as solidifying its drops as the main reward of the event at this tier.

📎 0Calamity_Fishing_Yield.xlsx

**Increase the crafting material yield for crates, especially pre-hardmode and early hardmode materials**

Crates' yields for many Calamity-specific crafting materials (such as hardmode bars, Galactica Singularities, Phantoplasm, etc.) is significantly lower than many other crafting materials, with an average of 0.2-0.7 per crate depending on the material. When factoring in the average amount of biome crates the player can catch per minute if they min-max their fishing equipment, the yield of fishing for these materials is lower than all other methods to the point of impracticality, especially when the best rod the player has access to can only cast one line at a time.

Unrenewable methods (a.k.a mining) should understandably be more time-efficient than renewable ones, but the rate from crates is also notably worse than other renewable method: mob farming. Whether the source is from standard mobs or bosses, the rate crafting materials can be acquired from them is higher than what can be achieved from min-maxed fishing by a factor of 5-10. In fact, a good underground mob farm can get every calamity-specific ore (minus Scoria), Phantoplasm, and/or all 3 essences at speeds faster than even mining or boss farming.

Fishing should have a lower yield because it's much easier, but mob farming is so much faster that there's no reason to fish for the materials that mob farming can give. An Excel document is included so that you can see just how little crafting materials fishing actually gets you.

III) the current warning is too light to describe the actual gap in difficulty compare to other modes ("subjective" difficulty set no expectation until the player try it)

Malice Mode tooltip should more accurately reflect the fact that it is a pure challenge modes and also its absurd difficulty compare to other modes.

**Make brimstone enemies spawn based on location instead of tile count**

The brimstone slag and charred ore blocks look excellent, especially for hell-themed builds. However, it's pretty much impossible to use them because even a small amount of the blocks will cause brimstone enemies to spawn and the biome music to start playing, even if you place them on the surface right next a town full of NPCs. I think this is a shame because the blocks have a lot of building potential.

As a result, my suggestion is that because the brimstone crag's location is decided on worldgen, the enemies should spawn based on set bounds. If this is too much, then I at least suggest increasing the amount of blocks required for a biome as the limit right now (~50 blocks from testing it) is too low to do anything with them.

Another idea is making it so brimstone enemies can only spawn in the underworld (and so that the music only plays in the underworld), as this will not compromise people wanting to extend their crag biome while still allowing people to freely use the blocks elsewhere.

**Rework Goobow into a more powerful and standout weapon**

Goobow is in an extremely awkward position as a weapon. It's in the same progression tier as Lunarian bow (even using Purified Gel in its crafting recipe) but is pretty obsolete and uninspired. It's basically just a regular bow but with those 2 horribly short range arcing streams of slime. It honestly doesn't even feel like much of an upgrade over the Galeforce a tier below (if at all).

Considering it uses a very similar recipe to the powerful Gunk Shot (which also wants a unique projectile itself), I feel like it deserves a rework. Galeforce already fires a secondary projectile type from the main arrow, so I don't think Goobow should stay like this.

Goobow is effectively a pre Wall of Flesh weapon. This means it'll typically get used in the fight and then sacked almost immediately after. If we review other bow options at this progression point, we have Lunarian bow (single target), Hellwing bow (piercing), and even Bee's Knees to some extent (swarming). You know what seems to be missing? Explosions.

Sure Hellfire arrows exist for an explosive bow at that point, but it doesn't stop a more unique explosive from shining. Hellwing bow gets used a ton as a vanilla weapon even though Jester's arrows exist, after all.

With all this in mind, the main takeaway and my solution to this:
Rework Goobow into a weapon that converts wooden arrows into a fairly high velocity explosive AoE slime ball (I'm thinking of a blue colored Abyssal Tome projectile visually but following a high speed arcing trajectory). Great for hungries in the Wall fight and should be able to hit both an eye and the mouth at the same time.

Add a hallowed slime to the hallowed biome, which drops a large amount of hallowed ore similar to the bloom slime.

Reasons being; At the mechanical boss progression although possible to farm the bosses, it really is a pain in the ass at that level progression, so they added hallowed ore.

But the ore clusters are very small, and when you actually see how much is available it gets taken up by other ores and becomes quite rare.

I don’t think we should change this, as hallowed ore should be rare, or at most be hard to attain, here’s where the hallowed slime comes in; it allows players to actually farm the ore by killing the slimes, but I think it’s important to keep attaining it hard so maybe make the hallowed slime a mini boss or even just maybe ignore amour.

Instead, this phase has the possibility of actually being a somewhat competent transitionary phase between the main parts of the fight. As far is changes to the phase itself go, you could just start with all 3 sentinels spawning in at once and starting slow, getting faster as each one is killed and maybe limiting the attacks they have when all 3 are alive, similarly to the Exo Mechs as it would be comparatively simple to other solutions. Also make sure that they are always at reduced HP as to not completely screw over anyone trying to skip bosses, while maybe incorporating the sentinel drops into more pre DoG weapons and accessories as to keep an insensitive to fight them normally.

I know this might be a lot, but keeping this phase as is will probably arouse more suspicious as it starts to stick out like a sore thumb compared to the more polished phases of bosses like Supreme Calamitas. If it's too much to work in, completely removing this phase would still be better than having this pointless slog that goes against the whole idea of Calamity and serves no real purpose.

**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.

Notably, The Twins, Calamitas, Anahita and Leviathan, Supreme Calamitas and the Exo Mechs, the latter two being just straight up cruel.

Not only that, it adds for the overall immersion. While Terraria in on itself isn't the most immersive game ever, it's still nice to get your trophy on your first try because it actually feels realistic that you retain that piece for the Boss on your first kill

**Buff Underperforming Yoyos in Hardmode**

(I didn't list the Yoyos in title because it is too lengthy), the following yoyo should be reviewed and buffed accordingly as they are way underperforming for their tier:

i) Shimmerspark (post-2 mech, cryonic bar yoyo)
ii) Quagmire (post-plantera, perennial bar yoyo)
iii) Pandemic (post-PBG, PBG drop yoyo)
iv) The Microwave (post-Astrum Deus, AD drop yoyo)

The file below showcased all the tested stats of the performance of all yoyo on tier against bosses of their tier, showing that the above four yoyo all way underperformed for their tier.

(It is a lengthy file so) TLDR:

i) Shimmerspark is currently around pre-Mech in performance, comparable to Yin-Yo (a pre-mech yoyo) functionally and DPS-wise (worse against more static boss)
ii) Quagmire is comparable to Sulphurous Grabber (post Acid rain tier 2 yoyo), but since SG is kinda overtuned it is more post-2 mech than post-Plantera
iii) Pandemic is post-Plantera (around Anahita/Astrum Aureus) in power, weaker than post-Golem and definitely not post-PBG (which is after golem)
iv) The Microwave is weaker than Pandemic despite being post-Cultist, Deus (which may be considered Moon Lord equivalent) drop

**Make it impossible to teleport outside Scal's arena**

The enrage mechanic obviously exists to prevent players from cheesing the fight by leaving the arena. However, sometimes it is possible to teleport outside the arena by accident, via a misclick. This has ruined several potentially good attempts for me, and not only do you have to deal with the increased damage and attack speed from the enrage, but you also have to endure it for long enough until chaos state runs out.

I think the solution would be to disable the player from teleporting outside the arena while SCal is alive, similar to how the base game disables you from teleporting inside the temple before plantera is defeated. This would make the fight seem more fair to people who are not intending to leave the arena but only do by a minor accident.

**Make Seraph Tracers inherit the stats of the wings used to craft it**

Currently, Seraph Tracers are not too useful since the luminite wings both provide more flight time and even some offensive bonuses. The title of the suggestion doesn't really cover my full idea in detail, but I basically want the luminite wings to only have higher flight time, with their offensive bonuses being locked behind using them to craft the Seraph Tracers. This makes it so that you can choose to use the tracers with less flight time and extra bonuses or the luminite wings with more flight time and no bonuses which can serve as an incentive to use the tracers over the wings as well as a reason to use better types of wings to craft them.

**Rework the Aureus Spawns**

Currently, these minion spawns become active when you "kill" them while attacking the Astrum Aureus, and are really good at hitting you. Seems easy to ignore them, eh? Wrong, for they tend to crowd and teleport around the boss, making it way harder to not trigger them. It's even worse on Summoner, where its difficult to prevent minions from attacking the Aureus Spawns because Astrum Aureus likes to also teleport a lot, resetting the Minion Target and leading to the minions focusing on the Spawns. In other words, the game basically punishes you for attacking the boss, the thing you are supposed to do.
Reworking the Aureus Spawns to be much easier to avoid damaging or have an entirely different gimmick would do a lot in making Astrum Aureus, who is arguably the most annoying boss in the entire game, much less annoying.

**Rework the Exo Mech loot drop system**

The Exo Mechs drop system, with each set being dropped by the last Exo Mech killed, is a very cool idea on paper, allowing players to decide which set they want on the first kill. However, this system doesn’t work as well in practice as figuring out how to choose the final Mech to kill takes a lot of strategy and targeting, made extremely difficult to do in the chaos of the fight with so many Auric weapons targeting huge AoEs or having aggressive homing making whittling down a single Mech almost impossible.

Made worse by this is that the loot drops from that Mech are added to the pool after the boss is killed, so if you don’t kill the right Mech on the first kill there’s a not insignificant chance you won’t get the weapon you want anyway.

I think the most elegant way of solving this problem is to make the Mech you select to summon at the start of the fight also be the last Mech you fight at the end of the fight, so you can decide which weapons you want without needing to tediously focus fire the other two. This would also give more weight to the decision at the start of the fight instead of being a single largely meaningless choice.

Alternatively, the fight itself doesn’t need to be majorly affected by the choice, but the loot still be determined by the first Mech you decide to fight.

For both of these options I feel removing the loot drops from previous boss defeats would be for the better as well, allowing for a greater degree of control over which drops you obtain

I’m sure there are other ways of dealing with this, but I firmly believe that the Exo Mech drop system is heavily flawed in its current state but only needs a couple of changes to make it legitimately interesting.

**Make DoG Head Fireball (Projectile Speed) Start Off Slow Before Accelerating Faster**

Basically make the fireball (in a way) similar to Scal Brimstone Hellblast instead of instantaneous full speed from the get go.

This is because DoG currently fire fireball at a very fast rate, but completely stop when its head is close to the player. However, (possibly due to phase change), it can randomly start fireballing when it already stopped. This is completely random and unreactable due to it going full speed immediately and significantly punish close-mid range weapon for trying to hit the head. This further incentivize the already easy playstyle (of staying away from the head/hit the body) while basically only punish the high risk high reward playstyle (of chasing the head).

Making the fireball start off slow but quickly accelerate (instead of full speed immediately) will make it a lot fairer to closer range weapon while still possing a threat for ranged weapon alike (unlike what it currently is of purely punishing close range only). The acceleration can happen really fast but as long as it is not instantaneous full speed it is reactable.

**Give Yoyo Bag An Upgrade At Some Point Post-ML (To Reduce the Penalty of Yoyo Bag Nerf)**

After testing the yoyos in the post-ML section of the game, yoyo bag (or yoyo in general) suffers a lot from the Yoyo Bag nerf, considering most Yoyo have multi-hit effect that relied significantly on high base damage (to counteract defense) which resulted in generally poor/mediocre performance against bosses on tier compare with other melee weapons.

Either post-ML or post-DoG should be suitable, for Yoyo Bag to be given upgrades so that it is more viable for average player, considering the absurd skill level required to use it effectively against some bosses (particularly Yharon and Scal).

(The following file are test stat, take Yharon and Scal with a grain of salt, but:) TLDR:

Yoyo Bag is nerfed to the point that on some yoyo warrior emblem literally provide better DPS increase
Many Yoyos was balanced around its on-hit (multihit) effect, which usually is a % of yoyo's base damage, so it is a double-down nerf.
Most Yoyo that heavily relies on Yoyo Bag wasn't able to achieve average kill time (referring to previously Timed DR)
With the consideration of Yoyo being completely incapable of hitting outside the screen, for yoyo to be viable for average player, an upgrade of Yoyo Bag (with less penalty) should be available.

**Make bosses have an increased/guaranteed chance to drop weapons from your class**

There are many, many weapons for every class that are upgrades of direct boss drops. This is true for all of progression up to the strongest tiers of weaponry; most of the Auric, Exo, and Shadowspec weapons use boss drops in their crafting trees. So in order to access many of the best weapons in the game (and many good weapons throughout the whole game) for your class, you need a boss to drop a specific item. This promotes grinding bosses until you get what you need, which is unfun and takes away the feel that you're gaining power and getting gradually stronger to defeat new threats. Imagine the pure, utter frustration of having to kill ML 20 times until you get a Utensil Poker for the Seared Pan!

Therefore, I think bosses in Calamity should have higher chances to drop weapons of your class, since most upgrade lines are all the same class (though there are some exceptions, like Tenebrous Tides using Atlantis). If it is possible to code, I suggest that if the majority of the damage (or last blow, or something like that) you deal to a Boss B is of class C, then all of B's weapon drops of class C have an increased drop chance (weapons not of class C shouldn't have a decreased drop chance due to Tenebrous Tides scenarios).

You can mostly solve this problem using mods like Fargo's or Calamity Loot Swap, but I feel this is something Calamity devs should consider adding to the main mod. Not all players use or are aware of these extra mods, and I suspect this would be a very-much-appreciated QoL change regardless.

**rework the tarragon armour's set bonuses**

tarragon armour is available post-providence, however it's set bonuses are either pretty weak or work strangely. these are the current set bonuses:

melee: manually activate-able contact damage reduction, and chance to rapidly regen life when taking damage
ranged: ranged projectiles sometimes split into homing "life energy", and leaves
mage: every 5th crit spawns leaves (from the player), and magic hits occasionally heal the player
summoner: "life aura" minion (invisible), damages nearby enemies that have contact damage
rogue: every 25 crits, you gain 3 seconds of i-frames with a 30 second cooldown, and 10% increased rogue damage when under the effects of a debuff.

the melee effect is good, and suits the class well (especially true melee), but the rest need some readjusting or changing. The summoner life aura does just about nothing, with it's most significant use being instantly deleting Signus' cosmic lantern projectiles. The fact that the only indication it is attacking is by damage numbers makes it even less visible. the ranger bonus is also hardly noticeable, especially with fast or very slow, hard-hitting weapons, as the splits have a 1 second cooldown and are hard capped at 65 damage. Mage's leaf projectiles spawning from the player and having a low velocity means the majority hardly ever hits fast targets. Rogue's set bonus of immunity frames often can't be utilised well, as it triggers at a completely random time, only dependent on how many crits you are doing (which, especially with stealth or endgame rogue, is almost every single hit).

TL;DR, most of tarragon's set bonuses have little to no use, and their effects aren't noticeable in most circumstances.

Thus the dodge while alone isnt that broken, makes it in combination the dark gods sheat packed w functions no other class can dream off. Thus i propose a rework to the dodge, cause in my eyes eclipse should have its predecessors main function due to contunity

Example ideas

-On hit fill your stealth bar
-Make the dodge player actioned, so that you have to take a risk on dodging/make player take a drawback on dodge (like 2s movement speed nerf)
-Make the dodge apply only on specific types off attack, for example only on contact hits.

**Make Resilient Candle More Useful**

Resilient candle is one of the 4 candles sold by Drunk Princess, with all candles having small numbers because they can scale into late game, making them always powerful. However, Resilient Candle is the exception.

Resilient candle makes your defense defend for 5% more. Eg: 100 defense, with resilient candle you are treated as having (roughly)105. This make Resilient Candle scales very poorly with non-defensive build , as even a defensive Auric (non-full warding) build you have about 300 defense. This makes Resilient Candle (normally) only provide around 15 defense end-game, and only providing 5-8 defense (having around 100 defense) for most of Hardmode and post-ML, making it worse than Ironskin potion. This is on top of the fact that defense damage exist, making this candle less powerful after the first hit you take.

Resilient candle is currently the only candle that are not worth using. To make it scale better, one example is to look at Spiteful candle and simply make Resilient Candle give DR (that do not receive diminishing return), or to make it function like Adrenaline Buffer (where you take less damage after calculation of all other defenses and DR).

Aquatic Aberrations are minions that The Leviathan spawns after she's done firing Meteor Vomit and before dashing. My problem with them is that they're the only real threat in the fight, with how fast they move and how sharp their turns are. The Leviathan herself has 3 attacks, vomiting, dashing and summoning these Aberrations, and the other two can be easily avoided.

An easy fix would be to decrease their movement speed or making them do something else other than dashing at insane speeds. Minions shouldn't be the biggest threat in the fight, the boss should be.

The suggestion here being that summon weapons receive their own modifiers exclusively for summon weapons, some possibilities could be summon attack rate, summon movement speed (to those which it applies), perhaps even some wacky stuff like a chance for lifesteal. The point here being that summon weapons simply benefit very little from the current modifiers compared to the other classes.

**Add an indicator of what the next boss will be during Boss Rush**

**Make the cooldown timers go top to bottom (instead of left to right)**

The cooldown timers can be very useful in bossfights for a visual representation of what you can and cannot do. However, especially toward the endgame with tons of accessories/armor bonuses, they tend to stack up and eventually become a bit intrusive. I think displaying them still on the left but going from top to bottom, and possibly a little bit smaller, might make it feel less intrusive in these circumstances. Perhaps there could also be a config option to change where they are located and which direction they go.

**Convert Pre-Hardmode, vanilla ores into astral ore within the initial Astral Biome creation**

Reasons:
-Increased visual interest within the underground astral biome:
The current astral underground is very grey, monotonous, and dreary, adding some brightly glowing scattered ore veins would help add some personality to the area
-Greater reason to actually mine/explore the astral underground
Currently all items related to the astral biome can be obtained by simply digging into a cave and using a zerg potion to grind enemies for five minutes, then never having to return for the rest of the playthrough. Having to actually dig for the ore would force players to actually move around and experience the biome.
-It makes sense from a lore perspective.
The astral infection is supposedly capable of converting anything to itself including inorganic things, such as the Astrum Aureus. Additionally, falling meteors in real life are capable of converting regular quartz into shocked quartz. Having pre-hardmode metals such as Iron or Gold be converted would be a unique way to represent that the astral infection is more infectious than the corruption or hallow.

Currently the four different candles sold by the drunk princess each provide a separate buff, this can cause issues during boss fights when the player is likely to be at or near the maximum allowed number of buffs/debuffs.

**A sizable DPS buff to Ark Of The Cosmos and its components**

I think we can all agree that the reworks to those items are incredible and wonderful, however its a shame because The Ark Of The Cosmos and its entire crafting tree are constantly outranked by stronger items in their own tier by a decent amount.
Those items can also take a decent amount of effort to get compared to other items that are stronger for less.

The Nadir is an item that gets around 85k DPS and can be gotten directly after DoG and does not take much effort to get aside from boss progression
The Ark Of The Cosmos is a post yharon weapon and it is doing 40-50K DPS (55-65K with counter active) making it unviable in damage and effects compared to The Nadir aside from its RMB + UP which can do 150K but that dosnt matter quite as much since the chance to even use its RMB + UP has a decent cooldown and something like the Excelsus can do 100k+ DPS anyways.

In summary, please make this weapon and its crafting tree worth using for anything other visuals and its counter ability.

Make solar flare armor's dash usable even when the shield is fully depleted

When doing bosses that require a lot of dashing such as profaned guardians or dragonfolly,it can be incredibly frustrating to suddenly lose the ability to dash, and not being able to replenish the shield because dodging the boss requires a dash in the first place. This is also made worse by the fact that normal dash accessories such as asgard's valor does not work when wearing solar armor, leaving players no choice but to downgrade to beetle armor to beat the boss. Making the armor's dash usable at all times or alternatively making dash accessories work while wearing the armor makes it much more viable to use on the bosses mentioned while also making it more of an upgrade compared to beetle.

**Stop the Profaned Guardians from firing fireballs as soon as they spawn**

the rework to the Profaned Guardians fight is great, and it's a really interesting, multi-phase fight to do. However, the first phase (where the commando and defender guardians shoot fireball spreads) needs a small adjustment. The phase is most easily managed by slowly circling the guardians, and threading the needle through the fireball barrage. This is made easier by knowing where the guardians are... which is where their spawn is problematic. They fire their projectiles the moment they spawn, meaning as they approach there will be a wall of fireballs that you cannot predict.

I propose there is a small delay for when the Guardians can fire their projectiles in phase 1, either time based or proximity based.

**Stop worm bosses from ramming into you at the speed of sound**

Worms, when far away from the player, will accelerate in order to catch up with the player, to prevent idly running away and shooting things. This is all good and fine until you realize that worms don't actually slow down when they get near you, often ramming into you before you even notice it and even if you do dodge it, it will continue going until it changes direction, charging at insane speeds again.

A very simple way to fix this would be to make worm bosses decelerate when close to players, preventing cheap hits from bosses like Astrum Deus or the Devourer of Gods (as a neat little bonus, DoG can sometimes go so far away that the music stops playing).

**Make Ninja Belt Upgrades Boost Maximum Flight Time**

Asgard's Valor/Elysian & Asgardian Aegis and Master Ninja Gear line both fills the function of dash accessory (therefore you only use 1), but have the complete opposite design. In general, Ninja Gear line have way less utility compare to Valor/Aegis making it much less preferable.

Tldr: Valor/Aegis have more utility and allows room for mistake, while Ninja Gear rely on perfect gameplay and dodge out of the way, but punished heavily with every mistake (aka: just don't get hit). For most player, Ninja Gear line is just way worse in every way compare to Valor/Aegis.

Thus, giving Ninja Gear upgrades to additionally boost maximum flight time not only give it the buff it needs to compete valor/aegis but also fit the overall design of movement over utility and avoiding attacks, and to give a distinctive advantage/reason to use ninja belts over valor/aegis.

In phase 1 she charges at you at completely absurd speeds. She spawns in this phase, and frequently will kill the player before they even see where she is coming from. In phase 2, she fires her projectiles incredibly fast and cannot be outrun due to how well she follows you, and its extremely hard to react quickly enough when she does the shotgun of brimstone darts. Phase 3 seems fine and balanced, so its really 1 and 2 that need to be changed. The only strategy that even seems to have a chance against this fight is making an arena out of brimstone slag in space, summoning her there, and abusing falling to give yourself enough time to react to projectiles in phase 2 and using slime mount to prevent yourself from dying to her phase 1 charge (which yes, is easily fast enough to catch up to a player falling at terminal velocity). This fight is just completely ridiculous and needs major changes, it doesn't even seem intended to be possible at the moment.

Teratoma - "Hive Mind partially enraged on surface and fully enraged outside Corruption biome" (biome/depth enrage)
Truffle Worm - "Duke Fishron enraged outside Ocean biome" (only biome enrage)
Necroplasmic Beacon - "Polterghast progressively enraged with the lack of surrounding blocks and fully enraged on surface" (special enrage)
Star Chunk - "Astrum Aureus do not enraged outside Astral Infection biome but fully enraged during daytime" (no biome enrage)

However, since the boss only spawns at the end of the event, refighting takes a long time, which causes tedium; the other way of spawning it isn't much better on this front due to how rare bloodworms are, and isn't even related to the acid rain in any way.

Thus, players could instead get ways to summon OD outside the event in addition to its natural spawn at the end of the event. A possible way to do it would be to make bloodworms drop from the enemies or to greatly boost their spawn rate during the event.

However, out of all the crafting trees that Calamity expands, like Hermes Boot, Ankh Shield and etc, this is the odd one out. Not only that, this HALTS the game pace drastically, being one of the only moments the game forces you to grind for an specific item on the uttermost edge of the world, and the trip there takes quite a while, it's easy to die in the ocean at the state you're mostly proeminent to farm there, being it the PHM and Post Calamitas, due to, mostly, Mantis Shrimps.

**Move Partially the Crafting Cost of 5-Class Armor Set Helmet to Chestpiece/Leggings (Especially Post-ML)**

The intend is to make class switching easier (or at least not actively discouraged). As class accessory and weapon already have lengthy crafting recipe, class switching difficulty can at least be alleviated on the armor, with helmet having lower cost player can more easily switch class as the Chestpiece/Leggings are shared, while the overall cost of the entire armor set is unchanged.

(File attached basically show crafting materials for 5 class armor)

TLDR: Most pre-HM and HM armors have acceptable cost for helmet, but especially post-ML (notably Auric Tesla), crafting materials with both bars and boss material required for armors become absurdly high which contributed to why 1-class playthrough can feel forced.

**Significantly increase the generation of Uelibloom**

Uelibloom is… frustrating. Put simply, mining for it is the single slowest and most agonizing part of post-Moon Lord, due to the ore’s extreme scarcity, and only generating in one biome that is already filled with another exclusive ore and many, many unique structures eating away at the ore’s room to generate. Additionally, Uelibloom veins are far smaller than pretty much any other ore in the mod.

As is, the only way of getting a useable amount of bars is by chugging some modded ultrastrong buffed Battle pot and sitting in a big hole in the ground for a while. While ore enemies are good in concept, with Uelibloom it just leaves the ore irrelevant because it’s so rare.

Uelibloom should generate in larger chunks comparable to the other ores, and more frequently, so you don’t have to work for ages to get enough for the armor, pickaxe, AND a weapon.

Also, as a suggestion to slightly reduce dependence on Ore Slimes for rarer ores, maybe make the ore generate again after killing the boss if the count of that total ore placed in the world falls below a certain threshold, so if you’ve excavated a world you don’t fall into the trap of Ravager and Slime grinding for hours.

Seeing as most of these sets give minion slots so they can be useful for Summoners, it seems like they should grant stealth as well for Rogue players.

**Rename Rogue's "Stealth" system.**

Rogue has been having "Stealth" as a mechanic for a good while now. But with changes to the mechanic recently, the connection between the gameplay of stealth and its theming is getting weaker and weaker. Not only that, but also the main thematic gimmick of stealth, invisibility, has been a great deterrent to player visibility be it for gauging hitboxes or just wanting your vanity to be seen at all. While the base mechanic has a config to toggle invisibility off, 2 of the main potions related to Rogue (Invisibility and Shadow) both force invisibility when used.

Renaming stealth to be closer to the themes of precision or opportunity would not only make the Rogue theming a lot more defined (as rogues in fantasy aren't strictly stealth, their main schticks are precision and opportunity), but also completely cut ties with the invisibility gimmick stealth as a theme had, which has been more of a deterrent than anything.

**Give worms reactive DR at the start of the fight instead of just cranking their DR to a ridiculous amount**

Worm bosses are pretty much immune to any and all damage at the start of a fight, while they can still attack and target you. From what I’ve gathered, the several seconds of effective invulnerability is rather unpopular, particularly among the tankier bosses.

While Reactive DR was a terrible idea when applied to a full boss fight, it’s not a fundamentally bad mechanic, and is in fact one I think would be very fitting applied to the beginnings of worm bosses.

Hitting for 1’s and 0’s is never satisfying, and feels like an incredibly obvious anticheese and like you have to wait a full ten seconds before you actually get to play the game. If the boss can take a visible amount of damage, it’ll likely have a much better response from the player.

**Clarify the wording on stealth strike threshold lowering accessories to specify that not only do they spend a lower amount of stealth, but also require a lower amount**

Currently, the in-game wording on accessories in the Coin of Deceit’s upgrade line, which is “Stealth strikes only expend 75/50% of your max stealth” only mention half of their functionality, that which lowers the amount of stealth consumed by a stealth strike; however, those accessories have a secondary effect which allows the wearer to perform a stealth strike while above the same thredshold (75% for Coin, 50% for Ruin Medallion, Sheath and Mirror), which can be noticed by the notches on the stealth bar lighting up before the stealth bar is full, signaling that a stealth strike is available. This function was unknown to me unless I visited the wiki, so I ask to update the in game description of those items to better reflect this property, such as changing them to “Stealth strikes only require and expend 75/50% of your max stealth”

**Make Ceaseless Void and Dark Energies Not Deal Damage/Invincible for a Slightly Longer Period of Time During Dark Energy Wave Transition**

This is how it currently is: Ceaseless Void always deal damage (no matter dark energy transition or not) therefore CV can ram into you during transition and dealing massive damage. This also happen at the beginning of the fight, where CV can just bump into you making you start the fight with half hp.

Additionally, Dark Energies also only do not deal damage/invincible for like the initial 2 seconds of each transition (total 4 waves/transition), where each transition usually requires precise movement/positioning due to the complex movement of the dark energies. 2 seconds is not enough and player tend to get hit while still repositioning (on top of that CV's own movement make dark energies ram into the player even when positioned well). Said "grace period" should be slightly longer to make the fight more fair.

**Make Storm Weaver Lightning Orb Not Telefrag**

Storm Weaver is famous for its telefragging lightning orb that still exist in the newest update. While there is a telegraph for when the orb appear (lightning in the background), it is near useless since the position that lightning orb appear itself is not telegraphed. Several attempt to make the lightning orb more fair (such as cannot appear within a distance of the player) didn't work simply because it fails to account for the players' movement, where the lightning orb can just appear on top of the player due to big movement required to dodge Storm Weaver charge.

Either make it have telegraph (for where the orb will appear) or make it appear around Storm Weaver itself instead of around the player, both will make the fight much more fair.

**Add an accessory/potion/other effect that makes Adrenaline charge faster when closer to sources of damage**

As it stands, Adrenaline charges at the same rate no matter what. You can be on the opposite side of the world as the boss and it will charge at the same rate. Since the majority of boss attacks are proximity based, this means the most efficient way to charge Adrenaline right now is to get as far away from the boss as possible, and then run in with full adrenaline to nuke the boss.

But what if... it wasn't? I propose the implementation of a mechanic ~~blatantly ripped off from~~ lightly inspired by Deltarune's Grazing system. Simply put, the closer you are to damaging projectiles/bosses with contact damage, the faster your Adrenaline charges, perhaps up to 2x the speed? This would create quite a lively risk-reward relationship, as well as adding some complexity to no-hit runs ("do i want to risk being hit in order to end the fight faster?"). It would also encourage skillful usage of true melee weapons/ranged weapons at point blank ("skillful" meaning not rushing in suicidally to drop 50% of the boss's hp); not to mention, this mechanic would have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

As for how this would interact with rage? Well, that's a good question I don't have a perfect answer for. Perhaps you could make rage charge more slowly when this is in effect, and then maybe give a boost to your current rage charge when you lose Adrenaline? Ping me if you've got a better idea.

**Rework Thanatos in Mecha mayhem phase**

Currently mecha mayhem is not fun. You have to deal with three separate ai's at once which isn't really fair unless they were doing next to nothing. I propose that Thanatos should not fire their lasers during mecha mayhem AND make thanatos' head always open so you can deal damage. Thanatos not firing their lasers means that the player can actually move horizontally. This would essentially make Thanatos the arena in mecha mayhem. You are still forced to move around or dash through him while being able to deal with Ares, Artemis, and Apollo. The way you would be able to deal damage in this phase is by having Thanatos' main head be permanently open for the entire duration of the fight. This would allow the player to consistently deal dps to Thanatos when he otherwise might not be doing anything. His main head should fire a laser from time to time, so it forces you to move in a different direction other than straight.

**Make Devourer of God Movement More Fair**

Currently DoG is more unfair than it is actually difficult, here are the issues (the following are Death/Malice Mode specific, as both make DoG move at max speed immediately which is the root of these problems. For Revengeance this only happen when DoG is at very low HP):

Phase 1:

Basically DoG has 2 chase AIs now: 1st where he switch to purple (ground) phase to chase the player if they are too far away (old); 2nd where he have a set movement to turn around to catch the player. What happen in the video is he activated 1st and 2nd chase AI at the sametime (note: this is not a 1 time thing).
His AIs switch for 2nd chase AIs is also very scuffed, where DoG often forgot to turn off his 2nd chase AI which results in him attacking the player at extremely fast speed

Both of these need adjustment

Phase 2:
3) His phase start telefrag the player (it always appear in front of player's movement), only solution is time it and dash the opposite way or hope it just miss.

DoG do "small direction adjustment" so the head line up with the player. What happens is the head twiches and can spray fireball that turn into sniper shot at very random position (that is not ahead of the player nor directly at the player) making it completely unpredictable, results in unfair hit.

Both phase:
5) His blue (air) phase speed is way too fast that if you fly even slightly you have high chance of getting charge at unreasonable speed. His phase switch AI (+ later blue phase also charge ground) means he just speed up at random timing or you just have to time it (with a clock), which is unfair.

With all of the above combined, DoG's movement basically become extremely unpredictable (inconsistent) and random at times, and his extreme speed and high damage make it have little room for error for variance like these (1 head hit = 80% of life gone).

**Make Devourer of God Laser Wall Telegraph Last Slightly Longer**

After the recent DoG change, his laser wall now "lingers" until the next wave. What I mean is his 1st wall projectile will stay in the way for half a second during 2nd wall telegraph (same for 3rd, 4th for Malice). This means the player will be unable to move until the laser wall telegraph disappaer, meaning that you have to memorize the pattern in an instant. This become worse when you are on air (where any slight amount of falling can throw you off completely).

By making the laser wall telegraph longer this attack can be much fairer instead of completely relying on players' reaction speed and memorization capability.

**Rework the vanity look of the “profaned soul crystal”**

Notice, I have been permitted to suggest a “vanity” change for the accessory “profaned soul crystal” -permission from “MishiroUsui/Amber.

The profaned soul crystal is an accessory that can be created, but also gotten from a special challenge, when you defeat providence under special conditions.

I propose two changes, both vanity wise; although some may see this as a specific item suggestion, I have no idea how to make it not.

The changes are simple, add a different version that can be gained by completing the challenge and display that you have completed the said challenge. There is no way to tell if you made the item or did that challenge; those who did it can take pride in their achievement.

Another change would be to make the vanity visually better and more unique when you complete the challenge so that it would be a different item than the one you can craft and purely vanity. Change the look of the wings in the vanity to be more in line with larger versions, more similar to the wings providence uses; allow the face of the vanity slot to change depending on time, for example, blue at night, basically upset the vanity looks, and even maybe, if possible when you die using the item in vanity you gave the death animation of providence. Also, maybe add a custom death message alone with these changes; regarding the wings, they should look better than celestial boots vanity wise, more extensive and more pronounced. There changes I have suggested are purely vanity, and I believe they allow for the clear distinction between when you create the Crystal to where you actually do the challenge

This mainly helps the player to evaluate the effectiveness of the accessory without having to rely on the wiki (or calculator + stat meter).

However, this do not have to be just solely reflected on its tooltip.

For example, The Community can show the stat it give in the chat message if right clicking the accessory in the hotbar, or some sort of extendable tooltip like "press shift to show full stat gains" will prevent the accessory from becoming just block of text while still provide greater clarification on its effectiveness.

**Make the summon penalty system not apply to sentries**

The summon penalty system decreases the damage of summon weapons by 50% (or 25% with Fearmonger armor, but that's irrelivant here) when the player is holding a non summon weapon that has a class. This makes the Old one's army even significantly harder for non summoner classes, as sentries become half as effective as they are supposed to be. This also makes the OOA armors less viable, as their multiclass with sentry armors only adds a fraction of the dps that it normally would. Disabling the summon penalty for sentries won't affect boss fights much anyway due to the lack of sentry gear in the game, while making the event significantly more doable for non summoner classes on tier and also increasing the viability of the OOA armor sets.

This also further incentivize Omega Blue Armor to be purely nohitter armor due to its effect being pretty much detrimental for non-boss scenerio.

Re-balance the Summoner Nerf to make it more summoner friendly

One of the changes between calamity from vanilla is the nerf to summon damage while using another non summoner weapon, which may make it more balanced for the other classes, but makes it harder to make summoner a consistent class, because you would deal less damage than other classes, and it prevents you from using other kinds of weapons for effective self-defense in scenarios where the minion is, for example, distracted.
My idea for a re-balance consists in:
Whenever you are wearing a full set of summoner armor(Being an specific set or a class armor with summoner headgear, not a neutral one), you stop losing damage on your summons, BUT you lose half of your damage on non summoner weapons.
This would not buff other classes, but it would make summoners more viable in full playthroughs

It's well-known that having wings equipped slows down the jump from sandstorm in a bottle immensely. My testing indicates that the negative interaction between wings and the sandstorm jump is purely caused by the wings air animation, as the interaction happens even if you only have wings in vanity slots.

Most of the effects of the Gauntlet line are invaluable for Melee players, but the knockback is not only without use, it actually hinders the Melee experience, especially in Calamity where True Melee is such a large part of the class.

If instead, the summons stays behind the player before stopping for like half a second and then charging at the mouse you could actually aim the attacks and take advantage of the massive damage and large hitbox of the summons and making it a viable option, but at the same time, it would make more probable to get hit if you are not moving, keeping the balance of the weapon.

Basically limit how many potion buffs the player can have (eg: buff potions have "You can have up to Maximum 12 potion effects") etc..., but completely uncapped the amount of buff slot the player can have. 11-12 is about the amount of potions player currently can use (without worry), with concern of maximum 22 buff slots and effect like RoD and HP potion CD, Boss Effect, boss debuff, adrenaline/rage, stationary buffs (candles, campfire etc), and light pet/pets.

The advantage is that the player will never worry about buffs getting overriden and some weak potions can potentially be stronger due to them having a proper opportunity cost, most field/stationary buff tend to have arena building cost (eg: sunflower need grass, heart lantern/star in bottle need ceiling, honey slows), although candles and effigies will be much stronger.

Make the maximum (any) positive buff the player can have to around 17-18, and completely uncapped buff slots. Make summoner weapon (and pets etc) buff not count towards said limit.

Basically a different itteration of 1) but with more freedom on what the player is trying to do with the buff slots, and with field/stationary buff balance in mind, although buffs from armor/accessory may need revamp (to not take a buff, eg: raider talisman).

**Add an Arkhalis crafting recipe**

The only way to obtain Arkhalis is through chance, being 10% chance from Enchanted Sword Shrines and a 0.5% chance from Cosmic elementals. While rare chance based items are fine in games, Calamity has trended away from them with the addition of crafting recipes or shop availability to almost all "early game" items.

Victory shards would be the most obvious crafting material, matching the crafting recipes for the Enchanted Sword and Starfury.

**Add a Quality of Life (QoL) crafting recipe and/or increase the drop rate for the Jellyfish Necklace**

Many other vanilla accessories have their own dedicated crafting recipes when Calamity is factored in, therein to such an extent that the Ankh Charm becomes pleasurable to craft (whereas in Vanilla, it's a huge pain in the ass).

One of the accessories not factored in, however, is the one mentioned above - the Jellyfish Necklace. It's considered a very critical item for game progression, as it's used to make the Jellyfish Diving Gear (which later factors into the crafting recipes for the Arctic Diving Gear, Abyssal Diving Gear, and Abyssal Diving Suit).

One of the reasons (presumably) that vanilla item crafting recipes are implemented is due to the natural items being too rare, such as from enemy drops. The Jellyfish Necklace fits this criteria well, being a 1% (1 in 100) drop from any common jellyfish, and therefore deserves its own recipe. Alternatively, increasing the drop rate of the necklace (from 1 in 100 -> 1 in 10, or 1% to 10%, for example) would also be effective at mitigating the core issue.

A preliminary recipe (after discussing the suggestion with @hoary wedge) has been thought out: 15 Pink Gel, 1 Chain, and 2/3 Life Jellies (or alternatively, 25 glowsticks). The aforementioned recipe/drop rate change are ideas, and both are equally as valid for implementation. It should be noted that the proposed drop rate change/crafting recipe can be tweaked where needed.

**Make Hellblasts unable to move vertically.**

Supreme Calamitas fires barrages of Hellblasts horizontally at the player, forcing the player to move up and down to dodge the Hellblasts. However, Hellblasts can accelerate vertically towards the player if the player is not vertically aligned with Supreme Calamitas. As a result, Hellblasts can move vertically towards the player, sometimes creating undodgeable situations since Hellblasts are moving quickly towards the player both vertically and horizontally.

**buff the quantites of all boss drops**

In my opinion, farming bosses for a single drop is incredibly annoying especially if your luck is bad. The first time you beat a boss you have enough to make about one weopon, for example providence needs to be killed 3 time for full tarragon. Although the fights gets easier it is boring after you’ve already done it. My suggestion is that either buff the boss drops or have a different way to get stuff that drops from bosses. An example of this would be having a small amount off divine geodes to drop from profaned enemies as an alternative way to obtain them.

**Tweak the drops of the Cnidrion enemy that spawns in the desert**

As it currently stands, they only drop one item: The Amidas' Spark. Now, this item in and of itself is perfectly fine. It has a drop rate of 25%, and has a relatively useful effect all things considered.
My issue stems from the fact that it is also the only item in the Cnidrion's drop pool. I fully understand removing the victory shard from its loot pool and would like it to remain a Desert Scourge drop only, but I feel like allowing it to drop the shells, starfish, and coral to used to would be fair.
Given that it's a notably stronger enemy than most desert enemies, I feel like it would be fair to at least give it some additions to the traditional drop table it has, and perhaps lowering the drop frequency of the Amidas' Spark accordingly. It'd give more value to putting in the effort of actually fighting them, and potentially make intentionally hunting them down useful to players looking to make victide bars.

It'd also be interesting if you could use victory shards to convert extra Amidas' Sparks into more victory shards, but that's much more of a far-fetched idea that comes from little more than wishful thinking.

-Paladin
-Signus, Envoy of the Devourer
-The Moon Lord

**Buff and/or Rework Vivid Clarity to give it more effects of it's components**

Vivid clarity is terrible against Supreme calamitas because it lacks any amount of pierce or real homing, and even if you hit your shots it's dps is still far lower than even pre Exo Mechs options like Void Vortex or Helium flash. It also has almost none of the effects of it's components, with it only really getting effects from Elemental ray and maybe Asteroid staff, and even then it only copies the multiple beams of elem ray and doesn't have different types of beams to fire, and the only things it gets from Asteroid staff are projectiles coming from the sky and explosions. . It's crafting recipe has:
A weapon that fires 4 different types of beams from behind the player (Elemental ray)
A weapon that fires a flower projectile that splits and homes in on enemies
A weapon that calls down explosive asteroids from the sky
A weapon that shoots projectiles that create yet more projectiles on hit
A weapon that leaves a trail of homing projectiles behind it as well as splitting into even more homing projectiles
and A copy of Shadowbeam staff that does more damage.
Vivid clarity fires beams from behind the player, from the sky, can create an explosion on hit, and summon a few homing projectiles sometimes. That still leaves a ton of effects from it's components unused, which makes it extremely dissapointing compared to how it was in previous updates. On top of that, as stated earlier, it has pathetic dps compared to other weapons, especially the other mage Exo weapons Subsuming vortex. All that combines to make a weapon that's dissapointing to use and has an overly complicated crafting recipe for a result that really isn't worth the trouble. Buffing it or giving it more unique effects would make it more worth the large crafting recipe and make it more deserving of it's status as a post Exo Mech mage weapon.

**Make Summoner Have More Defense**

With how most summoner weapon function, as except for late game summons that generally have longer range (and at this point only matching other classes which have long range way earlier), summoner is actually a midrange class due to minion only hitting the enemy at a limited range (while this do currently apply, it will be further enforced with 1.4 adding whips). Compare to most other classes, summoner have a much more risky playstyle while also having the least defense for seemingly no reason other than continuing what is established by vanilla standard.

Defense balance consideration: Melee (short range) > Ranger (aiming) > Rogue (midrange) > Mage (long range and crowd control) > Summoner (autoaim therefore better dodging). However, said consideration very often become just holding left click for most weapon and do not really apply (especially with many tracking weapon ingame).

The following are class comparison:

Class range (supposedly): Melee < Rogue < Summoner < Mage < Ranger
Class range (actual): Summoner < Melee < Rogue < Mage < Ranger
Class defense (high to low): Melee > Ranger > Rogue > Mage > Summoner

With all these consideration, summoner is one of the most risky and close range class in the game and somehow also have the lowest defense, and this should simply not be the case. I am not saying to nerf other class defense, but rather summoner should have on-par defense with other classes, ideally at least matching Rogue and Ranger.

**Make building the Codebreaker easier to figure out**

Right now, encrypted schematics only have a tiny, hard-to-see color on their sprite which signifies where they are obtained from. It's still hard-to-see after all, and I think they could be renamed to "Encrypted <name of place> Schematic," or the sprite could represent its location more (the jungle schematic can have vines around it or something)

A slightly bigger source of confusion is knowing the codebreaker part and schematic progression. It can be pretty hard to tell the order is "base, computer, sensor array, display, regulation, auric cooling cell" and "sunken sea, planetoid, jungle, hell, ice" without looking at the wiki or sifting through recipe browser. I propose making the tooltips of the parts something like as follows:

Decryption Computer
Can be placed on the Codebreaker
Allows you to decrypt the Planetoid Schematic
Doing so enables you to learn how to craft new things

If previous schematic not found
You don't have sufficient knowledge to craft this yet
The Sunken Sea Schematic must be acquired first

Adding extra tooltips to the schematics might not be as necessary since you could just read Draedon's message to the player once you've decrypted them. Also, when a schematic has finished decrypting, Draedon's message should appear in the schematic's tooltip, like the sunken sea tooltip. This way you know you've decrypted a schematic without having to check at the codebreaker.

Making boss loot chances increase slightly if you have not currently obtained the item (after several attempts)

Currently, if you are grinding for any item (common or rare), there's a chance that you wont get the item after an absurd amount of attempts (e.g a 10% chance after 20/30+ attempts). If there was an implement to where boss drops that currently haven't been obtained increase in odds if you have beaten the boss several times. This feature would only implement if it A: wasn't a very rare item (e.g anything 10% or higher would work) And B: you had odds worse than 2x average (it becomes painful after that and makes the game feel boring and repetitive).

example: If you did not get the aegis blade from golem in 20 attempts, the odds will increase to 11% (from 10%). After 25 it will increase to 12%, etc. This feature would only go up to 1.5x original drop chance, as anything higher then this will rot away the reward felt when obtaining the item.

Valor is significantly worse than other yoyos at or beneath its tier. Just by looking at its stats, you can see that its base damage is lower than almost all yoyos at and beneath its tier (outdamaged by Aorta, God's Gambit, Air Spinner, and Cascade), most of which also fire projectiles that deal further bonus damage. It doesn't inflict any debuffs, and it isn't more agile than the other yoyos at its tier (velocity appears to be around the same as Cascade, which is one of the slower ones). Furthermore, it is one of the only vanilla yoyos that have not been granted autoswing by Calamity, which makes it more inconvenient to use. Essentially its only redeeming quailty is having much longer range than other yoyos at the tier, but this doesn't compensate for having damage so poor. To empirically demonstrate that it is weaker, I've compiled some kill times against Wall of Flesh and Slime God on Revengeance, all times for either boss using the same gear and potions aside from the weapon, and no adrenaline or rage.

Yoyos vs Slime God
2:13 - Air Spinner

**Nerf providence’s holy ray and molten blobs**

This might sound biased as honestly the first thing that comes out on my auto-correct when I type I hate is “providence”. But hear me out here. The holy ray, although is dodgable, you cannot see it coming if u are too far away from the boss, perhaps from dodging other attacks by manoeuvring away from the boss. I suggest they add a warning sound effect if providence is about to fire the holy ray. This will make the boss fight a little easier as to compared as before. My main reason for my claim is that providence is a major obstacle in a calamity run, and I think it’s too big of a boss to fight then it should be. As a ranger, solo-ing this boss is near impossible for me and I would rather die. I understand that providence should be hard as it should be a highlight of a fight, but making this a tad bit easier will really ease my suffering.

On to molten blobs. They are incredibly hard to see especially fighting Providence in daylight. I think most people completing this bossfight has died to it more than once. This is a major issue in my fight against providence, and I would like to see it more visible. To compensate for this advantage, I suggest that the blobs do more damage, as it is actually a good attack as it advises u not to rush the bossfight. I would like to suggest also that the molten blobs fall with more gravity-like physics as it currently just falls at a fixed rate and it really is quite out of place in the entire fight.

**Allow the Hive Mind, Perforators and Astrum Deus's non-consumable summon items to be obtainable prior to their defeat (And additionally give one to Anahita & Leviathan)**

Currently, the only way to summon each of these bosses prior to defeating them is waiting for a random rare spawn in their respective biome. This seems to go against the mod's aim to make summoning bosses less of a grind. I feel like these bosses can take an approach similar to the vanilla evil bosses, who can both either be summoned by breaking 3 hearts/orbs or using a standard summon item (even if the latter mainly exists in case all the orbs in the world have already been broken). In general, relying on a random spawn in order to fight a boss isn't really good game design imo, and a consistent and reliable way to fight them could go a long way.

A similar case could also be made for the Wall of Flesh, Duke Fishron and the Old Duke, who similarly can currently only be summoned by somewhat uncommon single use items, or in the latter's case, alternatively by completing a relatively time consuming event. These methods aren't engaging, and encourage players to just cheat the spawn items in.

Essentially, I feel like the non-consumable summon treatment most bosses received can be expanded to include all bosses, albeit potentially in a way that doesn't render their current summoning methods obsolete.

Nerf DOG

I was fighting DOG rn playing as the melee class with the soul edge and full bloodflare armor, and every time I play the fight, the boss obnoxiously charges at me randomly and there is nothing I can do but get hit. Even when I teleport, he just turns around and hits me with his head dealing 600+ damage and basically ending the fight every time. Alongside this, adrenaline seems to have no effect on him, as every time I have gotten adrenaline it does 2% damage to the boss. Finally, the cosmic guardians have too much health. They spawn in and survive for most of the fight absorbing all the damage and dealing massive amounts with their speedy hits. Either nerf the boss's speed so I can dodge it easier with a teleport or slime mount or its damage from the head so it doesn't end the fight every time. If I am playing the boss fight wrong please let me know. (Am playing on revengence mode for reference)

**Make stats and set bonuses (with Wizard Hat) of Gem Robes equivalent to each other in terms of power.**

Calamity changed how gems are generated in a world, in a way that makes the general rarity of gems not exist anymore (now it's relative rarity to world depth). Changing Gem Robes to be equivalent to each other in terms of power (with vastly different effects) would help different Gem Robes find their niche use, instead of players immediately rushing for Diamond Robe without second thought.

**Disable vanilla NPCs selling potions while AlchemistNPC is enabled**

The AlchemistNPC mod (and the lite version) add NPCs that sell potions, with new potions for different circumstances. However, the Calamity Mod also just so happens to make vanilla NPCs sell potions, with new potions for different circumstances.

This doesn't make any sense and it could cause some price differences that causes one to pick a side. It also feels cluttered and needless, because having two sources of the same thing that don't feel different will become repetitive, the only difference being AlchemistNPC is more interesting because it adds unique NPCs for this purpose, rather than reusing vanilla ones to sell only slightly relevant potions.

The Devourer of Gods is a hard boss, and running into his head can spell your death on many occasions. If you're moving at full speed during the phase transition, he can spawn right in front of you and get a cheap hit, most likely killing you then and there. Making the Devourer intangible for a second or two would make this boss much more fair. The Cosmic Guardians already are intangible for 3 seconds after spawning to prevent the same type of cheap shots that I'm proposing to get rid of, so it shouldn't be hard to see why the Devourer also needs this change.

**Give Profaned Rage Potion Some Additional Different Effect**

It don't have to be powerful, just some different/interesting effect. With the removal of movement speed boost and (previously) rage bonus on the potion Profaned Rage is pretty much just a 2% more crit chance upgrade compare to normal Rage potion, which is comparatively a lot less impactful than Holy Wrath which applies Holy Fire on all attack that only become more relevant due to the elemental debuff rework.

Some example of major effects will be like attack inflict burning blood (which is same strength as Holy Flame), (small) amplification on fire debuff damage or increase the HP restored by heart pickup (considering the link of profaned to Providence/tarragon armor).

For minor effect example will be like granting immunity to On Fire, fire block, chilled/minor frost and fire related debuff which are usually already granted on Asgard's Valor to grant utility for people who spec for Master Ninja Gear line instead.

Whether major/minor effect is given will leave up to the devs, depending on how powerful they intended Profaned Rage potion to be.

Just like how mage has it's mana and rogue has it's stealth, ranger also has it's own ''thing'' that makes it what it is and it's ammo..Calamity adds many different types of arrows and bullets which can be used with bows and guns. However, the flamethrowers and launchers subclasses have very few types of ammo, with flamethrowers only having gel and launchers having rockets 1 to 4. In my opinion, there should be new types of ammunition for these subclasses which can give them a bit of ''specialness'' and a buff of some sort, possibly spawning extra projectiles or inflicting more debuffs (especially with the addition of the debuff system) and acting as an extra quirk to the attack patterns of these weapons which already do differ depending on the weapon used.

***Draedon Arsenal Armor/Accessories?***

Draedon’s Arsenal is a stupidly cool subset of weapons in the game, being very powerful generally but with the gimmick that you need to charge the weapon. Though thematically, thats it really, theres no other items besides the Arsenal weapons that you can make. It would probably be better to add more actual content themed around these old labs. A Suit of armor is one idea, maybe with the set bonus of passively recharging your weapons out of combat or making them more powerful generally. Another idea is some accessory that would be themed around this subset of weapons, but theres kinda the Sponge which fits thematically with the weapons in the Arsenal, along with two other weapons, the SHPC and Karasawa. Generally, More Arsenal themed content would be nice.

**Add an item or setting to toggle between simple stats, and detailed stats for items, sets and more.**

Calamity is full of accessories and weapons that have a bunch of different effects and as a result, you get an incredibly bloated text wall to display the specifics of said item. This is especially prominent in armor set bonuses, even more so with rogue sets needing to explain the entire stealth mechanic. A solution to this could be simplifying the text, but there are cases where you would want more detailed information, like "improved melee stats," which only really affect damage and speed. This ambiguity can get irritating for people trying to min-max certain stats, and are unsure if a specific accessory even contributes or not.
So what's the proposal? A simple mode and a detailed mode for tooltips, along with an item or setting to toggle between the two.

**Add an DoG or Yharon stage direct attacking summoner weapon**

When playing summoner, I've noticed that once you beat moon lord. there's no direct summoner weapon like borealis bomber until endgame which makes the gameplay a more "dodge everyone while trying to stay close so that you dont lose dmg" or "lose 50% summoner minion damage in exchange for using a alternate weapon so you can be more active." The only thing you can do post moon lord is just to stay close and get good dps and make sure you don't get hit when often most bosses don't allow you to get close due to them damaging you on contact or simply they are staying at a fixed distance away from you limiting the amount of damage you can do. i know sentries is a alternate method to get damage but because they don't move along with the boss. It can sometime simply be out of range and making the user place it again just for the same problem to happen again.

The fact that you can't damage worm bosses for a solid 5 seconds after spawning is annoying at best, and if someone is playing with a lot of defense and not as much movement speed (such as with the Mollusk armor against the Destroyer), having that period where players can't do any damage to the boss can be a problem. The feature makes sense in theory, allowing the worm boss to fully extend so that the player can't deal a lot of damage at once, but in practice it just gives the boss a wide open space where the player cannot deal any damage and is completely vulnerable. Instead, it would make sense to add DR to the segments that haven't extended yet and once each segment begins moving the DR is removed one by one.

**Make Astrum Deus Second Phase Start At Lower % HP Bar (Total HP stay the same)**

Currently in Revengeance, Deus have 384000 HP per worm. Once you get Phase 1 to 50% HP (192000/384000) Deus enter Phase 2 where it split, spawning both worms at full HP ( 2x 384000).

This makes it look extremely weird as the boss just seemingly heal to full for no reason, making player feels their effort being trivialized (despite having an intended total hp).

What the suggestion mean is for example, have Deus start at 576000 HP (which is Phase 1 + Phase 2 total hp on 1 worm), then make him phased at 67% (after 192000 damage is dealt or 384000/576000). Deus then split into 2 worms both spawned with 67% HP (2x 384000/576000).

This way while the boss still have the exact same amount of HP, feels a lot better during phase transition.

In a recent update, it got buffed and now adds 15% damage as well as it's 15 armor penetration compared to it's previous 10% damage, but it's still not especially viable. Luminous amulet is a perfect accessory to add to it to give it a buff, as similar to the necklace line it starts as a pre boss accessory which gets an upgrade after Calamitas, a boss which is the same tier as Plantera (the boss that lets you upgrade shark tooth necklace). By doing that and giving crush depth more power after ML is defeated to be on par with other debuffs at the stage, adding Lumenous amulet to RTN could hopefully make it viable again as well as encourage players to follow the Abyssal amulet line.

I was sitting around a couple of days ago zoning out, and the idea came to me of having her name be styled like Yharon's - instead of calling her "Supreme Calamitas" (a title which makes no sense, as she's a Witch, not a rep for clothes worth $300 a pop), we could call her "Calamitas, Brimstone Witch". By keeping the old moniker for her clone, you can differentiate the two of them adequately, while having things actually make sense.

**Reduce the Crafting Cost (notably Lumenyl and Depth Cells) of Abyssal Diving Suit**

To put it simply the timing when you are able to craft Abyssal Diving Suit compare to when it is used, make it very counterintuitive to collect its material beforehand. It is less about unwilling to grind but more about the fact that the player is completely not incentivize to craft the item prematurely and by the time they collected enough materials for it, they no longer need it anymore.

Particularly, it need Lumenyl and Depth cell in large amount, which is needed for many on-tier weapon and is relatively hard to farm (on-tier) due to Abyss enemies having higher power level + not all enemy drops Lumenyl (at T2 which is farmable, compare to T3 where minibosses like Reaper Shark/Giant Squid can spawn).

Abyss exploration timing:

post-Skeletron (Shadow key)
post-Calamitas (new drops, lumenyl, depth cells and tenebris)
post-Golem (scoria mining)
post-Polterghast (T3, T4 abyss miniboss drops)
Endgame (Adult Eidolon Wyrm fight)

Abyssal Diving Suit (upgrade line) timing:

Arctic Diving Gear (pre-boss) > post-Skeletron
Abyssal Diving Gear (post-Calamitas) > post-Calamitas ~ small cost allow you to get materials, craft the item and return to continue. However, you might not have spare after spending on weapons and items upgrade
Abyssal Diving Suit (post-Moon Lord - Luminite) > post-Polterghast ~ you don't need it at Moon Lord (no reason to go to Abyss), when you need it for post-Polterghast chances are by the time you finish farming 40 materials you are done with the miniboss drops

Making Abyssal Diving Suit have lower cost, especially materials related to mob drop will make significantly more sense and make the accessory more useful timing-wise.

Basically make Cosmic Guardian despawn immediately right after DoG reach 0% HP (rather than only when Death Animation ends). The reason is simple, with the current addition of DoG death animation Cosmic Guardian can hit and kill the player during the death animation, which in turn may lead to situation where most notably Treasure Bags might not spawn (or just needlessly kill off the player).

While killing guardian first is an option, it is not reasonable to assume that the player is always able to kill the guardians before DoG most notably because of how tanky guardians can be (and there are 3 of them). The reasonable approach should be them despawning right after DoG dies (which is when the fight should end), not after the death animation is completed.

**Nerf the Blade of Grass**

As of right now, the Blade of Grass is a weapon that absolutely carries true melee in pre-hardmode due to its size and early spot in progression. The Caustic Edge, the direct upgrade to the weapon, is much smaller and harder to use, despite being obtained after the Brain of Cthullu/Eater of Worlds. It does good damage, but due to its small size, the weapon is equal to or even worse than the Blade of Grass.

I killed the Perforators 3 times with each weapon and appropriate gear on Expert. I am playing as aggressively as possible.
Blade of Grass: 1:03, 0:53, 1:15
Caustic Edge: 1:03, 1:21, 0:59
Blade of Grass average: 1:03.67
Caustic Edge average: 1:07.67
With the Perforator's odd AI that makes the boss hover over you, the Blade of Grass and its massive size make it the better weapon.

I also tested against the Eye of Cthullu with the same gear, but I killed it 5 times.
Blade of Grass: 0:12, 0:14, 0:13, 0:14, 0:13
Caustic Edge: 0:12, 0:11, 0:13, 0:11, 0:11
Blade of Grass average: 13.2
Caustic Edge average: 11.6
Most of the damage the boss takes is from the phase change, and as the Caustic Edge does more raw DPS, it kills the boss faster.

**Rework Auric Tesla armor**

Auric Tesla armor has a very serious issue. It strangles the design of its component armors, while leading to Auric Tesla itself not being nearly as interesting as it could be.

Tarragon, Bloodflare, God Slayer, and Silva all have to be designed keeping in mind that their set bonuses will be inherited by Auric Tesla, and be balanced around that. For an example, we can look at summoner. The Tarragon set bonus for them is literally just "deal low amounts of damage to nearby enemies." with no visual except a vague green glow. The Bloodflare set bonus is weird circling mines that are hard to take advantage of. Silva is the only one that gets an actual minion for the set bonus. Auric Tesla inherits all these effects, so none of them can be especially powerful.

God Slayer and is another casualty of this. God slayer gets the extremely strong god slayer dash, then the secondary effects are incredibly boring and uninspired because they have to be inherited by Auric Tesla. Rogue gets slight bonuses to various stats at full health which isn't really that useful unless you can stay at full health for most of the fight. Ranger gets a "god slayer round" that fires a projectile every few seconds that deals some bonus damage and... thats it. Melee gets god slayer darts and thorns effects which only matter if you get hit, and a defensive boost that's only really helpful outside boss fights.

Auric Tesla itself is a casualty of this design, lacking a strong identity of its own. The accessories it inherits effects from don't really fix this. Magic carpet will almost never get used when you have Drew's Wings. Frost barrier effect is fairly unremarkable. Psychotic amulet is vaguely interesting, but you dont get a ton of chances to just sit still during Exos or Scal. The set also gets lifesteal effects, which doesn't really change how you play at all and is just a helpful boost, though its not tied to any interesting effects. Auric tesla could have golden lightning arcs, an active effect as strong as god slayer dash, genuinely unique and cool set bonuses, but instead it just gets to be an echo of the previous three armors it's made from.

Because of all this, i think Auric Tesla, Tarragon, Bloodflare, God Slayer, and Silva could ALL benefit from reworking Auric Tesla and it would help make each armor more unique and cool.

**Make Weapon's Secondary Projectile Be Affected By Worm Piercing Resistance Formula**

Basically, the piercing resistance formula means (for most projectiles) that the more segments a projectile goes through, the less damage it does to that worm. The thing with that formula is that if any projectile creates more projectiles on hit, then those spawned projectiles start with full damage. What this suggestion is saying is to have those spawned projectiles, which I will be calling secondary projectiles be affected by the formula the same amount the original projectile is. To give an example, if an Orichalcum spiked gemstone stealth strike projectile was doing 80% less damage to the destroyer because of the formula, then any petals spawned at or after that point would also have that 80% less damage, but wouldn't be able to go any lower because the damage loss from the formula is capped at 80%.

**Rework Worm Initial DR**

As of right now, worm bosses receive enough DR at the start of the fight to completely nullify any damage done to the boss for roughly 5 seconds. This is so that players with piercing weapons can't melt the boss by attacking the place where the boss spawned before it can completely unfurl. However, there are multiple issues with this system. For instance, for most worm bosses the head does considerably more damage than the body. So, for bosses like the Destroyer whose main AI is to ram the player, this is 5 seconds where the boss can get cheap shots without worrying about taking any damage. This also is a problem with fast paced bosses such as Deus, where numerous boss attacks can happen between when phase 2 starts and when the player can damage the boss. This is especially apparent when using playstyles that require getting very close to the boss such as melee or even rogue or ranger depending on how you play. That, and combined with a tanky build (such as the mollusk armor against the destroyer), means that the player is at a considerable disadvantage during the beginning of these fights.

You can fix it by shortening the time it takes for a worm to unfurl, and thusly how long the DR is active. This would be the simplest solution in theory, and it would solve most of the problem.

Another would be to add the DR to each individual segment and remove it based on how much the segment has moved. This would be the most complex solution in theory, but it would solve the problem very well.

The last idea would be to remove the DR entirely, and put some sort of "shield" around the place where the boss spawns that prevents it from taking any damage there. This shield is removed after 5 seconds. This would solve the problem pretty well, and isn't too complex.

Either way, the DR system needs a rework so players damage the boss when it spawns so that bosses can't get free damage against players who tank or fight very close to the boss.

**Add Config Option for Goblin Tinkerer Rework Modifier Tier Guarantee**

Following the Goblin Tinkerer rework in Calamity, it is next to impossible to reforge into certain modifiers that were added by other mods. For example, my friends and I are currently doing a playthrough with JoostMod, and prefer some of its modifiers on our weapons and accessories. Right now, unless you are insanely lucky enough to roll into one of these before reforging into tier 6, you cannot get these modifiers. One of the only viable workarounds is to load into a non-Calamity world, reforge there, then load back into the Calamity world and drop the item.

A simple solution to this may be to add a config option to disable this tier guarantee mechanic for the Goblin Tinkerer.

I'm unaware whether other mods can specify their modifier tiers to fit into Calamity's new tier system, but even if so, some worthwhile mods aren't frequently updated, and it is unfortunate that the otherwise great Goblin Tinkerer rework makes modifiers from those mods virtually unobtainable.

**Brimstone Hearts should be tankier as they can easily be shredded through **

Every phase in a boss fight should be important... the brimstone heart phase doesn't accomplish that ... it just gets melted quickly within 5 seconds usually and that is it.... most phases last much longer such as every Bullet hell, the brother phase, and when scal herself attack's you, which they all feel impactful compared to the short duration and the easily shredable brimstone heart phase. Like before the 1.5 draedon update the brother phase was easily the weakest and was considered as a "free phase" as it was to easy for most players to deal with, and I feel the brimstone hearts should get the same treatment as sephulcur has little to no impact in the fight what so ever since the hearts are to frail comapred to the power level of most weapons at that level.

**Make the Ankh Shield components craftable at a pre-HM anvil**

To remove the grinding needed to get the Ankh Shield, an important item, Calamity adds recipes for all of its components. Most of their recipes use post-WoF materials, and all these items are obtainable at the beginning of HM anyways as rare drops. But most of the crafting recipes use a HM anvil, which is post-one-Mech-Boss with the early HM rework. Making these items craftable at a pre-HM anvil won't change their place in progression (they're available as drops at start of HM and have post-WoF materials in the recipe) and will let players use the Ankh Shield for most of early-HM exploration without hunting for rare drops.

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

Currently visibility can be an issue especially with night bosses unless with extensive arena setup (which is harder when not using any QoL/cheat mods), most notably all of the mechanical bosses are almost fully shrouded in darkness unless the player place torches and campfires everyway, which can be very resource and time consuming (depend on arena size) especially for higher difficulty (eg: death mode which is much harder than before). This also ruins the aesthetic aspect by basically making it mandatory to place torches or campfires everywhere (night owl potion + shine potion alone is not enough as it only helps when the boss is already at close range).

Since Calamitas Clone already completely lights up the screen (while it do not really need to), this will provide significantly greater visual clarity especially for players who do not use cheat sheet paint tools/world edit to have perfect arena (which is most of the general players) if the same feature were to be introduced on other bosses.

**Put the intro from scals theme video into the game as a 1st encounter prep**

This is just a minor nitpick, but draedon has a long intro setting base for his fight. Calamitas has no real reason to fight us expect yharim forces her. The intro from dokuros theme video could be a fine addition, cause it gives her more reason to fight you and even extends yharims word to you. It is both scal and yharim telling you why she is here to fight you. If for copyright reasons unable to be used (the sounds), just put it as text into the chat.
Edit:

On the take that scal in dokuros lyric vod has a heavy brittish accesnt, we could make the argument that that is just the way she talks. There is no britain in terraria
About how voice acting doesn't fit terraria, I would recommend putting the words from the video and just put it as dialogue, the same as draedon. For this time, the now left out part of the theme (the buildup before melody stats) could play out.

**Make Devourer of God Have Additional Telegraph Before Phase 2 Laser Walls Attack Begin**

While technically laser walls have a half a second telegraph before it hitting the player, the suggestion is referring the telegraph to PREPARE the player for the attack.

Currently, the telegraph that serve this exact purpose is Devourer of God turning invisible right before the Laser Wall attack begins.

However, with the new DoG gaining super significant speed boost, this telegraph is no longer enough as DoG is out of screen way more than before due to its immense speed. This means player have to rely on pure reflexes (for when first wall telegraph happen) or just time it with a clock, which is not the best way to telegraph the attack. Preferably, the new telegraph (in addition to DoG turning invisible) should be global (such as a sound que/visual) so that it is effective irrespective of DoG's current position.

**Make the Borealis Bomber summon Aureus Bombers continuously if the button is held**

Because of the way Calamity handles Summoner and minion damage, summoner players who wish to actively deal damage rather than simply dodging are encouraged to stick to either classless weapons, or a very small set of summon-damage weapons that don't consume minion slots.

From the moment it's obtained (about mid hardmode depending on when one chooses to fight the Astrum Aureus), the Borealis Bomber remains the strongest (and only post-WoF) weapon of the latter kind available until post-SCal. Using it in conjunction with or alternatively to classes weapons (though the only consistently usable one with comparable (not even necessarily better) damage output is the Eye of Magnus, a post-Moon Lord weapon) is effectively the optimal way to play as a summoner (barring maybe the occasional use of summoner weapons with right click abilities).

Yet, despite being a hardmode weapon and despite staying relevant all the way to the final stages of progression, the Borealis Bomber still requires each individual Bomber to be summoned with a separate click. This severely limits the weapon's usability in terms of sheer enjoyment of use, as having to spam click feels like an unjustified nuisance. Despite the weapon being both useful and flavourful, I find myself ignoring it in favour of classless alternatives with autofire.

Put simply, the lack of autoswing/autofire/whatever the correct term should be given the specific type of weapon this is feels extremely clunky, and leads to what is otherwise both a really fun weapon with an interesting design and one of the optimal choices for a summoner looking to do something actively during a fight being a nuisance to use, and making the weapon summon Bombers continuously the way other normal summon weapons also work would be a small but very effective QoL improvement, making the weapon a lot more enjoyable to use without changing much at all about it.

**Add An Alternative Upgrade Line for Angel Treads That Is Just Upgraded Angel Treads (Rather Than Tracers)**

Short functional difference:

Seraph/Elysian/Celestial Tracers - Boots function + wings function, meant to be 2 in 1 accessory. You CANNOT use any other wings with tracers

Because of how they function, this simply means the player who don't want to use tracers (which have significantly less flight time in general) simply cannot obtain the speed of boots, unless they use the significantly downgraded Angel Treads which have drastically less on-ground movement speed than Tracers.

Adding an alternative upgrade line (that is just boosted Angel Treads function, rather than tracers) open up more build options rather than limited to either sacrificing ground speed or flight time.

Currently the weapon Exorcism, a cross, just makes a flash of light upon impact. I suggest instead of a flash of light, it should linger an actual Cross, maybe a bigger copy of the sprite from Exorcism. I think this is needed as the Exorcism isn't a weapon you quickly think of using. And also the damage output isn't as much as the other weapons unlocked at this stage. The stealth strike is perfectly fine, just the regular explosion is minimal. It isn't a real fitting projectile for a Cross. The effect of the projectile being bigger and doing more damage as it drops will be fine for the change aswell.

*Remove Blood Orbs from the Blood Relic's Crafting Recipe*

But later on in hardmode and especially post-moonlord, blood orbs are very useful for crafting strong armor, potions, and health upgrades.

A hardmode mob capable of killing a post-moon lord character in 1 hit. Even if you don't die, it's a 5 second stun and as a person who has done WoW PvP I can say 5 seconds is a LONG stun. I've been getting chain stunned myself and it is VERY annoying. Pocket mirror just sounds like something that fits in the ankh shield anyway so... why not?

**A slime God buff**

In the current state of calamity, even in Malice mod, slime god is weak, by the point you reach slime god you already have accessories that make the fight no challenge at all.

E.G. Frostspark boots essentially make the Slimes pointless as just running in one direction with them will outspeed, not to mention the "slam" attack, which fails to accomplish anything, as by running when it falls straight down, you'll already be far away.
The skyline wings, a pre-hardmode set of wings that you can get after skeletron, help accomplish the same thing as frostspark with the horizontal movement, whilst providing freer movement that makes the main slime god minimally difficult.
And the abyss shadow chest weapons - such as the archerfish -, deal high enough damage whilst hitting so many enemies, that the slime god reaches the final stages of the fight, and proceeds to end, in but a short time.

As a result of such items, slime god has almost no difficulty to it unless you have no understanding of what its attacks and movement are.

**Change Titanium Set Bonus on Revengeance Mode (and Above) to Guaranteed Dodge Effect**

Clarification:
Guaranteed Dodge effect is referring to effect like Astral Arcanum or Master Ninja Gear, where you automatically dodge an attack and then the dodge went into a cooldown.

While this seems like a massive nerf, it is infact a massive buff in the consistency and usefulness of the armor, because the current Rev+ Titanium Set nerf basically make it so that the "Holy Dodge" buff ONLY last 5 seconds, on a 30 seconds cooldown. For reference without the nerf the "Holy Dodge" buff last 30 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds.

This means every 30 seconds, the first (and only first) attack within 5 second that hit you will be dodged. This means you either have no way to use it reliably because you effectively have to get hit in the specific timeframe when the buff is up (therefore rely on luck) OR basically having an armor with no armor set bonus.

A very simple way to buff the armor set on Rev+ (to make it actually usable) is to simply make Rev+ Titanium armor effect to be a full on guaranteed dodge instead. Considering it is an armor set (rather than from accessory), maybe even make it have lower cooldown compare to other dodge items. This way the armor is actually worth using.

(Considering 1.4 port will move the Holy Dodge to Hallowed Armor instead, this suggestion is also referring to it)

**Add Favouritable Item/Potions That Drastically Increase/Decrease Player's Aggro**

This suggestion is purely for the sake of Multiplayer. Currently in Multiplayer, except for classes like Melee (which consistently draws aggro) and Rogue (stealth, which consistently reduce aggro), there is basically no distinction between the aggro level of the other class which tend to make boss aggro super inconsistent, switching targets and frequently unfairly hitting players the attack is not targeting at. For example Yharon's bullethell and teleport can spawn very close (if not on top) of other player that is near undodgeable, or like PBG switching target during dash combos making it super unpredictable.

These item should give way more/less aggro beyond normal options such as flesh knuckles and putrid scent which may still be affected by their distance from the boss, and preferably have different "level" (eg: +-10000 aggro, +-5000 aggro, +-1000 aggro...) just so it is more customizable especially when player count increase.

I suggest limiting the number of times each venom fang can hit a single target, or increase these bosses' resistance to the venom staff specifically, similarly to how AS only takes 50% damage from the SHPC's primary fire.

**Have the same bar as in the hotbar showing how much empowered attacks you have left when using the Ark line of weapons under your character.**

The new rework for the Ark of the Cosmos and Biome Blade line of melee weapons is very unique and fun to use. However, one issue I have is that the only few ways to know how much empowered/parried attacks you have left is either by the sound effect for these attacks ending or by looking at the hotbar, where will you find how much empowered attacks are left. The latter can make some (including me) lose focus of projectiles, and what I am simply suggesting here is to add the same bar which is in the hotbar item slot for the Ark weapons nearby to your character, so you aren't forced to look at the hotbar, or keep a mental count of how much attacks you have left. Besides, in a mod like Calamity, you should be trying your absolute best to dodge boss attacks and projectiles to the greatest of your ability, so having only the visual ability in your hotbar to see how much empowered attacks you have left without listening into when the attacks end, or having a mental count isn't the most effective in my opinion.

This means it has to fight for space with all the other ores that generated before it on top of Chlorophyte and the jungle's many unique structures. By moving to the Hallow and Hell, it gets much more space to generate.

Moving it from jungle also makes thematic sense as Providence, the boss that generates the ore, has 0 connection to the jungle. Jungle already sees by far the most usage over the course of a playthrough so moving the ore gives the Hallow more use while barely taking from the jungle.

**Add Calamity Ores to Fishing Crates and Standardize Drops Between Gold Chests and Gold (and below) Crates**

For some reason, despite basically every Calamity bar being obtainable via fishing, none of the Ores are, so if you want to make bricks, you're gonna have to farm Slimes for a sustainable source. This is weird, and I see no gameplay reason not to simply give crates an equal chance to drop an equivalent amount of ore.

Furthermore, for some reason, Vanilla keeps several items exclusive to Gold/Surface Chests (despite most having parity with their crate counterparts) which are important to Calamity crafting trees, like the Band of Regeneration, Wooden Boomerang, Shoes Spikes, and Flare Gun. Band of Regeneration being the biggest offender, as it is part of both the Celestial Cuffs and Rampart of Deities lines, and if one got unlucky enough, a player would have to choose between the two, or start messing with other worlds, something Calamity likes to avoid with things like the opposite World Evil sky island. If it's an issue with trying to avoid letting the player simply fish for everything, I think locking it behind a certain boss would allow for it to simply function as a method of sustainability, and even then, they could simply have low drop rates like Heart Crystals in Gold Crates.

**Stop Counter/Evasion Scarf dodge from registering as a hit**

The whole gimmick of the counter scarf and its upgrade is that you get rewarded for dashing through an enemy attack. This works because you avoid damage, but there’s a lot of situations where you’re punished for utilizing this mechanic. Even though you don’t take damage, defense damage and debuffs you would have taken still apply. This will get you killed in several boss fights. Slime god core still inflicts you with distorted and you die, Cryogen still inflicts you with chilled/frozen and you die, etc. Defense damage also still applies, so if you try to dash through something like one of the big slime gods, you’re at a severe disadvantage if you’re about to get hit, which is the opposite of the Counter Scarf’s purpose. This is especially true in malice mode, where bosses inflict much more DD, move faster, and hit harder. If the dodge made you immune to these effects entirely, the accessory would feel more fair and its gimmick would be easier to utilize.

**Make Persecuted's portals hold a position relative to the player**

After playing around with it a bit, the Persecuted enchantment is actually quite powerful if you know how to use it. The portals are easy to damage enough and the demons hit hard. However, the problem with Persecuted is that the portals stay in place after spawning. Most of the time, enchantments are only going to be used on the Exo Mechs, which require constant movement, leaving the portals behind and letting the demons aggro.
So I suggest the portals stick to a position relative to the player, similar to Ares. Not only would they be easier to deal with, it would be less irritating to get hit by demons you knew were coming rather than ones barging in from half a mile away. This is also helpful to the demons' relatively short aggro range.

**Remove the extra accessories from Auric Armor recipe.**

Auric Armor is basically required to beat Exos and SCal. Despite this, its recipe is much too convoluted, and bloats the prep time for no good reason.
First of all, Psychotic Amulet is a 2.5% drop from Possessed Armor, or 5% on Expert, which still isn't great. This makes it among the rarest items in Calamity. For one, a Vanilla player going into Calamity would have no hints that these random enemies now suddenly drop an accessory that is vital to endgame armor. Even if they do get it, it only has use on its own for Rangers and Rogues. If you're not playing that class, unless you checked the wiki, you would assume it was only used for a future Ranged/Rogue accessory and trash or sell it. This is easily the most egregious of the 3, but the other 2 are still pretty awful.
Then there's Frost Barrier. For one, unless you check the wiki, there is nothing that would indicate the Traveling Merchant has a special item to sell specifically during a full moon. Finding this on accident is incredibly slim. The alternative method is getting a semi rare drop from an already uncommon enemy. That's strike number 2.
Last up is the Flying Carpet. Now yes, you can craft this if you don't get a pyramid chest, but there's a major problem with the recipe. It requires Ancient Cloth, a fairly rare drop from Ghouls. You need 10 rolls of this to make the carpet, with a 6.67% drop for 1-3 items.
And, the icing on the cake? These accessories barely do much to improve the armor. Psychotic Amulet literally does nothing for the armor, Frost Barrier is too situational, and Flying Carpet can get in the way when out of wingtime. They can easily be removed from the armor effects while still keeping Auric Armor as a powerful endgame armor.

**Make Lunatic Cultist Have A Supreme Calamitas' Style Shield To Expand His Hitbox**

Lunatic Cultist is famous for being obnoxiously hard to hit that renders many weapon unviable for him simply due to inherent inaccuracy or lack of homing capability. On the other hand, to balance this out Lunatic Cultist have low Max Hp for its tier, which makes Lunatic Cultist super susceptible to any weapon that is capable of homing and have decent damage, which easily makes Lunatic Cultist one of the most squishy/cheesable boss in the game.

Thus, the suggestion is so that Lunatic Cultist's hitbox be enlarged similar to how Scal's hitbox work (the shield serving as the hitbox rather than the humanoid inside), max hp should of course be increased to compensate. This solves 2 issues:

i) A lot more weapon will be viable on Lunatic Cultist instead of being limited to selected weapon due to "he is too small you cant hit him"
ii) Lunatic Cultist no longer dies immediately to any weapon with homing or to 1 adrenaline.

As Calamity already significantly change some vanilla boss (Golem's destructible head, Plantera completely losing hook tentacles, Moon Lord true eye have no lasers), this is an opportunity to fix a long-lasting issue with the boss.

**Make DoG's lasers beams instead of laser darts.**

DoG's laser darts make the boss more frustrating. Ever since they were changed so that they linger longer, it is all too easy to flawlessly dodge a laser barrage in phase 1, only to dodge DoG's head and get sniped by those same lasers a couple seconds later. The lingering is especially apparent in laser wall sections. Straying too far from where you dodged the wall will lead to getting sniped by them when trying to dodge another wall or the teleport explosion. This is especially an issue when using the RoD to try to escape a wall.

The proposal here is to do away with the usage of laser darts and replace them with laser beams, similar to the deathhail staff's beams, but thinner (the same width as a laser dart). The instantaneous nature of a beam makes the boss much more fair by preventing you from getting needlessly sniped even though you already dodged the attack, while still keeping the difficulty of the attack. To compensate for the lack of travel time for these beams, the telegraph for them should be slightly longer than the current dart ones. In addition, some laser patterns in phase one should be slightly nerfed to consider the instantaneous nature of the beams.

Also, let's be honest, having these beams instead of darts would make DoG feel a lot more powerful. It's a bit of a letdown when you see the big telegraph for laser walls and then see DoG throwing what is essentially a large number of ping pong balls at you. The beams would fit DoG thematically and cement his place as a powerful post moon lord boss much better than the laser darts ever would.

***Decrease DoG's Intended Killtime***

The Devourer of Gods is one Calamity's Main staple, enough so for it to be the cover of DM Doruko's Soundtrack Album. this big giant purple worm thing that is generally one of the later things you'll fight. Though its... Strangely designed. It has two main ways of killing you directly, Laser Walls, and Contact. Its head does an absurd amount of contact damage, able to kill an unarmored player in one hit and sure as hell can down one in two if they lack the Blood Core. The Laser walls, on the other hand, don't do as much but still pack quite a punch. There's also Cosmic Guardians, which are more of a pest if your not careful and nuke them when you can. Its a really fast paced and intensive bossfight generally and I had to read though how the boss actually works on the Wiki unlike bosses like Plaugebringer Goliath or Providence.

Which brings me to the Intended Killtime. Surely this doesn't last that long... right? For a boss that is able to end you in one hit... that you possibly had to fight Necroghast just to get good enough equipment, then deal level 4 of the abyss, or even maybe T3 Acid Rain and Old Duke, and the Sentinels to weaken the boss itself while getting some good gear from them too.

The Intended Killtime with on tier equipment currently is 4 minutes. 4 minutes of Dodging bullet walls and an 1/2 shot head. At any time, one slip up, and you die instantly. And its a grueling 4 minutes of it. For reference, S-Cal and the Adult Eidolon Wyrm hit 5, a former and current superboss, and the Exos take ~6, which is really 2 x3. The only bosses that rival this earlier on are Calamitas, a boss who lacks effective attacks outside of bullet hells and her siblings, Moon Lord, and Providence, who both dont do contact and one shot you via Deathrays. Generally DoG is... A bit too long and if anything has Older calamity syndrome where its just absurdly hard just because.

**Make Death Mode Brimstone Elemental Fire 2 Lasers (like Revengeance do)**

With the new modified Death Mode laser, the attack basically had been changed into an "area denial" attack where after the laser is fired the player is unable to move into the trajectory/general area of the laser due to the homing brimstone dart. The intended (maybe) way to dodge the attack is to manipulate the homing AI so you can weave through them in a very satisfying way (as video shown)

However, as of currently this attack simply do not work as the player will always have the other half of the arena available to manuever (eg: laser fire at right, you simply stay at left side for a while), this makes the attack much less interesting as the player dont really have to do anything and will naturally dodge the laser (and the aftermath brimstone dart), making it maybe even easier than Reveangeance's laser attack.

To make the attack more interesting, Brimstone Elemental can simply fire a 2nd laser just like how Revengeance does (Revengeance Brimstone Elemental always fire 2 lasers in a row). This way the attack will feel much more satisfying to dodge by having calculated movement to weave among the homing darts instead of simply move to the other side of the arena.

**Change the method of increasing maximum stealth from armor sets to instead be permanent consumables"**

Similar to late game upgrades to health and mana, add consumables throughout the game to increase the player's max stealth. You could also have a toggleable item or some way to enable/disable stealth so other classes don't have to see the meter, and place the description of what stealth does onto that item. This would mainly remove stealth from being directly tied to armor sets so that rogues that use stealth can still use all around sets like Omega Blue. It would also remove the repeated 4 lines of text from every single rogue armor set bonus.

**Add Alternative Crafting Recipe To Allow Chlorophyte Armor To Be Crafted Into Their Turtle, Spectre and Shroomite Counterpart**

To put it simply, instead of only allowing crafting of (example:) Spectre Armor by using Spectre bar, ALSO add alternative crafting recipe to allow Chlorophyte Armor Pieces to be crafted into Spectre Armor using Ectoplasm + the armor pieces.

This approach works super well as currently ALL Chlorophyte Armor (pure bar armor) and the upgraded version (turtle, shroomite, spectre) use the exact same amount of Chlorophyte Bar (12 for head piece, 24 for body armor, 18 for leggings).

This will significantly solve the problem of using (pure bar) Chlorophye Armor being undesirable for the simple reason that you will have to refarm the Chlorophyte Bar cost.

For the different helmet, I propose to allow making any chlorophyte helmet to be crafted into any of the upgraded sets since otherwise there will still be (inherent) helmet recrafting cost.

example:
With any Chlorophyte Helmet + Turtle Shell, you can craft into the Turtle Helmet
With any Chlorophyte Helmet + Ectoplasm, you can craft into any Spectre helmet of your choice (Spectre Hood or Mask)
With any Chlorophyte Helmet + Glowing Mushroom, you can craft into any Shroomite helmet of your choice (Shroomite Mask, Headgear or Helmet)

**A Slime God Buff**

In the current state of calamity, even in Malice mod, slime god is weak, by the point you reach slime god you already have accessories that make the fight no challenge at all.

E.G. Frostspark boots essentially make the Slimes pointless as just running in one direction with them will outspeed, not to mention the "slam" attack, which fails to accomplish anything, as by running when it falls straight down, you'll already be far away.
The skyline wings, a pre-hardmode set of wings that you can get after skeletron, help accomplish the same thing as frostspark with the horizontal movement, whilst providing freer movement that makes the main slime god minimally difficult.
And the abyss shadow chest weapons - such as the archerfish -, deal high enough damage whilst hitting so many enemies, that the slime god reaches the final stages of the fight, and proceeds to end, in but a short time.

As a result of such items, slime god has almost no difficulty to it unless you have no understanding of what its attacks and movement are.

**Make the Living Wood/Leaf Wand compatible with other woods, making new variants of woods and leaves respective to normal wood types**

Pretty simple suggestion, and it should be somewhat easy if I had to imagine. I personally find it very strange that there are no Living Wood variants for other woods, and using paints is very inconsistent and tedious, while not even looking good sometimes. Building a living Crimson tree using paints (for example) is way harder than making a living pure tree due to this, and makes it frustrating to build when it should be the most calming part of the game. In addition to this, maybe spreading evils like the Crimson and the Hallow could change a Living Tree into its own Living Wood/Leaf variant.

I made a house in Pre-Hardmode, and when Hardmode came along, my house got overran with the Hallow. As such, I wanted to make a Hallowed living tree house to make it fit better using paints. It looks off-colored, weird, and in my opinion, worse than the original.

The only thing the belt has that Asgard's Valor or Elysian Aegis doesn't is the ability to dodge attacks (including projectiles) but the cooldown is too long to compensate for the lack of a ram. I suggest making them inherit the frog leg's jump speed stats while making it not stack with the ordinary frog leg (or with the belt too, in the void sash's case) to avoid insane amounts of jump speed and to make it provide a nice mobility boost and to actually compete with the previously stated ram dash accessories.

**Rework Solar Armor**

I know this sounds like a strange suggestion but the pain of it is absolutely terrible. It’s an open secrets that calamity bosses, especially post moon lord bosses are made with dashes in mind. The dashes given to the solar armor is pretty okay not the best but not the worst. The shield also gives huge damage reduction so it really is a good set bonus right? Yes, it is really good, until you get hit 3 times then everything goes downhill. After getting hit 3 times you lose the shield and your dashing ability. This is the issue cause solar armor disables ALL dashes that aren’t solar shield dashes. This is painful especially when the armor you fight providence with IS solar armor. You can wait for the armor to regen the shield but if you get hit the timer resets. While you are shieldless you are a sitting duck just waiting to get hit with just another projectile.

My rework idea is that you make the shield permeant but drop the damage reduction to like 12%

Oddly enough however, these shields do not show the weapon-like stats that the Shield of Cthulhu shows.

The change does make sense given how the Terratomere practically trivialized the Moonlord fight, however with it being post-Providence, it feels useless. In all honesty, it feels like an unnecessary weapon in general as even with its change in progression, the fight against Moonlord is no different given weapons like the Briny Barron exist.

On top of the game sometimes eating your input and refusing to let you dash at all for no reason, this can seriously screw you over on fights with a Bullet Hell attack, like Providence, Yharon, or especially DoG with his laser wall, the game can read your inputs and feed them straight into a dash when you're just trying to make a precise movement.

**Rework Endgame Armor Stats**

Currently, when you reach the end of the run, after defeating Supreme Calamitas and after defeating the Exo-Mechs, you start to get your end game items set up to take on eidolon worm and boss rush. There is a problem tho: What do you do about armor?

This is where the issues come in, as Auric Tesla, armor you get before both SCal and the Exo-Mechs, will almost always out perform both Demonshade and Gem Tech.

Starting with demonshade, you’d think that the endgame armor made from shadow spec bars would be an armor that globally benefits all classes. However, at the moment, even with the 20% melee speed bonus, it feels entirely like a dedicated summoner armor set. I’m not sure if this was intentional, however the fact that it doesn’t give a bunch of class specific buffs makes it undesirable.

Going into Gem Tech. There isn’t a fundamental issue with it such as it specifically benefiting other classes more, however when doing DPS comparisons against Auric Tesla Armor, it does worse. This shouldn’t be the case for an armor that requires you to kill an endgame boss.

I suggest giving demonshade some more class specific buffs and just general stat increases to Gem Tech.

**Add Calamity Ores to Fishing Crates and Standardize Crate Drops**

Despite basically every Calamity bar being obtainable via fishing, none of the Ores are, so if you want to make bricks, you're going to have to farm Slimes for a sustainable source. I see no gameplay reason not to simply give crates an equal chance to drop an equivalent amount of ore, as is done with all vanilla ores/bars.

Furthermore, Vanilla keeps several items exclusive to natural Chests, despite nearly all having parity with their crate counterparts otherwise; some of which are important to Calamity crafting trees, like the Band of Regeneration, Flare Gun and (to a lesser extent) Shoe Spikes.

Band of Regeneration is the biggest offender, as it is part of both the Celestial Cuffs and Rampart of Deities recipe lines, and if one got unlucky enough, a player may have to choose between the two, or start messing with other worlds, something Calamity likes to avoid (this problem only gets exponentially worse in multiplayer). While these issues are typically alleviated by giving the item in question a crafting recipe, I've heard the devs vocally declare their disdain for making everything craftable. This would at least require a bit more effort than the average recipe, and already has a vanilla precedent with how crates typically work.

Lastly, while somewhat unintuitive, the comparable mediocrity of Gold Chest loot to Gold Crate drops, leans me to suggesting the Gold Chest equivalent crate be the Iron Crate, as it is the most in line with its rarity in progression. Gold Crates seem to mostly be reserved for especially rare items like the Enchanted Sword and Heart Crystals (though, both are craftable in Calamity regardless).

**Remove "At the beginning of Hardmode all enemies are weaker. In Expert mode, they have 40% less HP and attack damage to compensate for their higher original stats."**

This is unnecessary, and definitely does not need it to be increased in the harder difficulty. Early-hardmode is made trivial; even in malice mode you can just immediatly walk into the hardmode jungle with pre-hardmode gear and not even bother having to look at your hp because you know that it is impossible to die.
I feel like this massive enemy nerf ruins the spirit of the mode where everything is threatening, as calmity's 0.6 multiplier agaisnt Expert's 2 is 1.2, barely more than vanilla. Probably the biggest issue I have with this mod is that it makes non-bosses trivial, as I think otherwise expert+ non-boss difficulty is great and I do not want it the be lessened by this mod.

**The Devourer of Gods should have animated background effects**

these could be like an actual universe collapse as the battle gets intense
For example the background could start to crack, with more cracks and other effects appearing as DoG's HP gets lower and lower. Revealing his world with some purple clouds or other such things passing by within cracks that appear in the void black sky.
This would allow the fight to feel more intense and have a "fate of the universe depends on this" feel that the lore of this creature gives, This could happen by having the background be effected by the power of the terrain (the player) forcing DoG to show more and more of its power; this would also be fitting due to the lore stating The Devourer will occasionally launch 'sneak attacks' by tearing through the dimensions and eviscerating unsuspecting victims to feed its ever-growing segments.

After you kill it, you've essentially conquered every threat there, so a final upgrade would be fine. Currently, the best you can get is the Abyssal Diving Gear, which while good only gives partial immunity to the depths and air loss.

**Add More Content to the Hallow**

Please add more content to the Hallow as the calamity add-ons to it are rather lackluster and make it feel underdeveloped.

I know in 1.4 re-logic added a ton to the Hallow, however in terms of the Calamity mod, there is very little. Calamity only uses the Hallow for the Profaned Guardians and Providence, however that is it. It is just a biome used to fight Providence. You don’t even have to interact with the Hallow to fight Providence however, which means it’s barely a biome and more of an arena environment.

I suggest making the biome more integral to the game, in any way really. Maybe make Hallowed ore and Uelibloom ore only spawn in the hallow. Maybe add a mini-boss or special enemy that drops a good weapon. Just something to get the player to interact with it a bit more.

Yharon before 1.5, when he got to 10% health, would quickly regenerate back to 100% health for phase 2. Now, it may not have fit in Yharon’s fight, but it did cause a scare, at least on the first attempt, where you would be like “Almost done!” Then Yharon would regenerate and you would go “Oh Crap!” Devourer of Gods also had a similar thing where you would beat phase 1 and then phase 2 would spawn.

I think this moment of despair that this would cause for the player was a very good element as it made the fights more than “Just Kill Its Health Bar”. Especially for the 2 final bosses, have this “Oh Crap” moment would cause quiet the reaction and would make the fights more interesting on the first attempt.

**Properly Decrypt the schematics after putting them into the Codebreaker**

On top of unlocking new items, the codebreaker has a lore message that gets decrypted along with each schematic. The problem is that viewing the message again requires you to decrypt the schematic again, costing the same amount of power cells. I propose that after a schematic gets decrypted, the item should swap out to another one called "schematic" just like the one in the sunken sea lab, and the message of the schematic should be the tooltip of the item. This solves the wasted time and energy to view the message again, and it helps dumb people like me to not accidentally put the same schematic in the codebreaker that I just did 5 seconds ago.

**There should be a way to turn on/off increased base mining speed/walkspeed/build speed buffs in the mod config menu.**

I noticed right away that a ton of buffs get applied to the character when playing the Calamity mod. The only buff that is annoying to me is the build placement speed buff, but I believe others might want the option to toggle all buffs so I'm including other buffs in this suggestion. Because of the build speed buff, I find myself sometimes placing two torches instead of just one with a single mouse click.

Other reasons it should also be in the config menu:

To offer an in-game explanation for those buffs to the player, right now there is nothing in the game that explains that Calamity improves the player's stats by default (I've seen some people confused by this, thinking that something in their inventory was doing it and they had no idea what)
Mod compatibility. Other mods may/do have early-game movement options which become unbalanced due to Calamity's default changes, and Calamity offers no way to turn off those changes aside from disabling the whole mod, which is unhelpful.
It's weird that this is something Calamity changes about the default game and it doesn't have a config option for it. Calamity has options for Proficiency, Boss Zen, the Boss Health Bar, Frozen Lungs , Expert Enemy Spawns In Towns and Expert Debuff Durations. And yet it doesn't have one for this change for some reason.

**Rework Ancient Ice Chunk**

Simply put, Ancient Ice Chunk as it stands right now is pretty weird in terms of its usability. While it can dish out some good damage and is especially effective against worms, the AI is pretty wonky and usually ends up with the minion either dashing past enemies, or not being ale to catch up to them. These factors, mixed in with the fact that Ancient Ice Chunk can be easily overshadowed by other Early HM summon weapons such as Deepsea Staff or Cold Divinity, can turn it into a extremely forgettable summon, not to mention how tedious it can be to obtain.

With all this in mind, a rework to how this summon functions would make this weapon much better. Instead of slowly ramming at enemies, the ramming attack should be improved upon to perform quicker, but smaller charges, similar to how Deadly Sphere Staff charges at enemies, or a slower version of Blade Staff. Additionally, it could also have a secondary attack where it shoots Frost Bolts at enemies, similar to actual Ice Claspers. These changes should make Ancient Ice Chunk a much more memorable summon weapon and much more satisfying to use overall.

change how the Spine of Thanatos targets enemies with it's light blasts

the Spine of Thanatos (SoT), upon use, fires three flails which then fire a spread of rainbow light blasts. If there are no enemies nearby, the light blasts are sent out in an equal spread. However, if there are any enemies close enough, every single blast will be stacked on top of each other. This goes as far as to make every single light blast never attack different enemies: they will always all target the exact same enemy, which makes the fact that it has a spread quite redundant.

I suggest to make the individual light blasts attempt to target different enemies, which should overall improve it's usability.

Upgrades to the MOAB, perhaps a BFB and ZOMG

Currently, the MOAB, an upgrade to the Bundle of Balloons, is very unused as it caps the speed and has a few other changes that make it just seem like a downgrade rather than an upgrade. If there was an upgrade to this (or simply changing the MOAB), it might be more useful, and people would actually use it. Since the MOAB is a reference to the Bloons Tower Defense games, and the BFB spawns MOABs on death in the BTD series, it would make sense to make the upgrade to the MOAB the BFB. Also, as another member of the server mentioned, it would be needed for MOAB-like movement later in the game, so giving it upgrades for later in the game would lengthen the usefulness of it.

I think having another potential dash option would make playthroughs even more varied, especially for true melee players who might enjoy the scarf but find its dash length not long enough. It would also indirectly give more reason for players to try true melee, since they might see the powerful dash accessory, see its melee bonuses in addition to its dodge, and try it out. Evasion scarf, while good, suffers from being an early hardmode item that doesn't last you very long, so I think another upgrade could be helpful.

Suspicious Looking Eye - "Eye of Cthulhu enrages during daytime" (day/night enrage)
Teratoma - "Hive Mind partially enrages on surface and fully enrages outside Corruption biome" (biome/depth enrage)
Truffle Worm - "Duke Fishron enrages outside Ocean biome" (only biome enrage)
Necroplasmic Beacon - "Polterghast progressively enrages with the lack of surrounding blocks and fully enrages on surface" (special enrage)
Star Chunk - "Astrum Aureus do not enrage outside Astral Infection biome but fully enrages during daytime" (no biome enrage)

This way the player will have much clearer idea of the boss' enrage condition without having to rely on wiki and to accidently build arena that end up enraging the boss.

**Give Rev+ Duke Fishron Transition/Visual or Sound Telegraph Before Entering Phase 4 (20% HP)**

Currently on Revengeance and Death Mode, Duke Fishron have a new "Phase 4" that happen at below 20% HP, where Fishron have a completely different charge pattern from Phase 3.

However, in both case, this phase change have no transition, resulting in Duke Fishron simply extend its charge pattern right after it reach 20%.

For example:
In Revengeance Mode, if Duke Fishron reach 20% in the middle of a charge combo, it extend the combo to become 4-5 charge in a row.
In Death Mode, Duke Fishron extend its combo into infinite dash phase.

A simple transition (eg: it can just be a slight pause where Duke Fishron stop its current combo before entering Phase 4) or some sort of telegraph will helps this significantly. It do not have to be long like Phase 1/2 transition, just have to be obvious enough for player to know "something is happening".

The evasion scarf competes with the Asgard’s Valor, which is significantly better by a massive margin.

**if you’re going to change def and dr, just scale it with each difficulty instead of reducing/removing it all together**

What I mean is that don’t just reduce the def and dr all together with the easier difficulties, just decrease it depending on what difficulty they put it in.

For example, the endurance gives like 10% dr in normal difficulty. Up until revengeounce, start decreasing it by some amount. And of course this is just an example so don’t take this seriously.

With each difficulty increase, it reduces the def and dr of items that gives said buffs.

My reason for this is it might reduce the flame in the community and help the dr and def nerf situation because it’ll leave the easier difficulties (below revengaunce) players not worry about their dr and def constantly getting nerf
And hardcore/nohitter players wanting no defense can stay at harder difficulty.

**Make Silva Immunity (from Silva/Auric Tesla Mage or Summoner Armor) Default to Healing the Player to 50% HP**

Currently Silva Immunity prevents the player from dying after taking fatal damage for 8 seconds. Additionally, with Silva Wings equipped or using Draconic Elixir, the player is healed to 50% immediately after the effect proc.

However, there are 3 problems associated with this:

Silva Wings do NOT work with Auric Tesla Mage/Summoner Armor, as the effect is exclusively Silva Armor related.
Draconic Elixir serves as alternative, however on proc the potion's effect will be lose (cannot drink for 60 seconds), and on top of that extend potion sickness by 30 seconds. This basically results in the player not only losing an important buff but also cannot really recover (due to potion sickness), and in some case may be worse than just drinking a healing potion right before Silva Immunity ends.
Silva Immunity is incredibly weak compare to God Slayer Armor's dashes, especially with the 1 time per boss fight limitation. Without the previous God Slayer Revive as buffer, this effect can be proc very easily and wasted. Otherwise, the heal (that already inflict a downside) can also get wasted if the player get hit right after the effect proc (as they effectively still cannot die and just wasted the heal).

For conclusion, Silva Immunity should just have the 50% heal by default without requiring Silva Wings or Draconic Elixir (nor have downside associated with them). This will allows Silva Immunity to be an actual relevant set bonus without screwing over the players' combat ability and recovery after the effect is procced.

**Buff the Aureate Booster's wing flight time, or add a side effect along it**

The Aureate booster is the pair of wings supposed to pair with the Reaver armor sets, these wings (not really wings) have a very poor flight time of 80 in exchange for their great speed, however, these aren't enought to make them really usefull

My proposal here is to increase their flight time by a certain amount, enough to make people use it more (really, no one uses them, even with reaver armor) but not too much to make them the best pair of wings on Hardmode due to the horizontal speed of 8.00 (ingame info), maybe increasing it to a number like 120 (similar to the hadarian wings or cryogen's soul), or, alternatively, adding a special effect to the wings

Since the Aureate booster focuses on movement, instead to make them have increased offensive stats with the Reaver armor, make them have some Glide effect like the Hoverboard (i personally like it a lot), or, make them have an increased ascend speed while holding W, similar to the Jetpack... or simply make them give different stats boost depending on the helmet wore (increased defense, hook speeds or pick speed, for example), or simply making them give more movement speed bonuses when used along Reaver armor

The player should be able to choose their playstyle not be forced into one, and for most people who normally play original terraria the movement speed and building speed that early on in the game (as soon as Calamity is enabled essentially and a world is made/loaded) can seem off

I for example am use to playing the game and grinding for things like the building accessory (that contains essentially all the building gadgets and makes building fast) and being given fast building and fast speed without earning it just seems wrong, if I wanted to download a mod that gave me fast building and faster movement I would just do that, or I would cheat myself in the building gadget and/or best boots in the game.
So having the ability for me to toggle the bonus speed of building and movement would be rather nice and I would greatly enjoy it
(I spent a couple of minutes trying to find out what mod was giving me the speed and when I realized it was calamity I felt like I couldn't even play it anymore, not like that even though I really want to it feels like it isn't terraria)

**Make Thanatos' vents/weak points a more integral part of his boss fight**

Thanatos' mechanic of only being vulnerable while segments are venting heat is a really cool part of the fight, but for something that's supposed to be one of his main gimmicks, it currently has very little practical effect when there's little stopping you from just aiming piercing or AoE weapons in his general direction when he shoots. The main strategy against him is just to line him up with piercing weapons and blow him up, totally ignoring his gimmick in favor of treating him like your usual worm boss. This turns the mechanic from being about targeting weak points to just making it so you can only attack when he's shooting back.

My suggestion would be to make it so attacks against him deal exponentially reduced damage with every segment they hit/pierce (up to 100% reduced after a certain number), like a much more significant version of the normal worm piercing resistance; this would make it so that he essentially only takes damage from direct hits to his weak spots and the surrounding areas. This would make his vent mechanic play a bigger part in his identity as a boss and promote actively aiming for his weak points rather than just raining indiscriminate fire whenever you see him start shooting. Because it doesn't completely disable piercing/AoE, this would also let those weapons still get to trigger their effects against Thanatos, provide some leeway when aiming for the weak points, and prevent him from outright bodyblocking for the other two mechs.
Of course, Thanatos would have to be toned down to compensate for this. The most obvious changes I can think of would include slowing down the boss (making it easier to move around him and aim for his vents), reducing his HP (since you can no longer hit 50 segments at once), and possibly increasing the amount of time his vents are open for.

**Teleport you to where you activated Terminus after WoF in Boss Rush**

The Boss Rush has you teleport to the Underworld when you fight Wall of Flesh, but when you kill it and move onto the Hive Mind, it teleports you to spawn. Nobody builds their primary arena at spawn, thats where people build their villages and NPCs. I've personally never had this happen to me during Boss Rush, but its entirely possible that the Hive Mind ends up killing a few villagers during Boss Rush, and that's simply inconvenient, as is having to run all the way back to your arena after killing WoF. If it's possible, the teleport out of hell should send you back to the space where you activated Terminus, cause literally anywhere else is inconvenient.

As the mod currently stands, polterghast is a bit out of place in the post ML progression, being weaker than other bosses near it in game progression, notably providence, and needs to be buffed.

Providence

providence is fought before polterghast
however, it has bullet hell style projectile attacks that are way more complicated to dodge, high defense stats like damage reduction, and even difficulty from arena restriction especially if you fight her in the underworld, but if she’s fought in the hallow the healing projectiles she can use are near impossible to distinguish from the regular ones.
she even have mechanics like burning you if you run too far away to punish cheesing techniques, and inflict strong debuff on all her attacks

Polterghast

meanwhile polterghast's only threat is its contact damage which can be trivialized a lot with asgard's valor and elysian aegis, and polterghast projectile do very little damage
on top of that, even during the clone phase they attack in sync, making it very predictable and the removal of predictive charge makes it even easier to dodge
this is made even more trivial for the fact that polterghast's clone is killable now, which previously must be avoided at all cost, and even if polterghast enrage after losing the clone, the fight is still become much easier

**Move Ankh Shield from the Asgard's Valor and Make Ankh Shield Have Its Own Upgrade Line**

While seems like a straight nerf, there are several advantage for this:

Asgard's Valor main benefit is its ability to ram and knockback immunity, NOT minor debuff immunity which almost no bosses even apply. Ankh Shield is simply redundant and say replacing it with just Cobalt Shield achieve the same purpose
It significantly reduce the recipe complexity for Asgard's Valor and make ankh shield material farming feel less mandatory. Asgard's Valor will become much easier to craft
Currently the developers are too afraid of further buffing Asgard's Valor/Aegis line debuff immunity aspect, and by making ankh shield into its own line it can be buffed freely and become a defensive accessory specialized in providing wide variety of debuff immunity
Asgard's Valor can be specialized to be even more of a dash/ram accessory, allowing it to provide other benefit without concern of balance/oversaturation on the effect on one item due to ankh shield component

**Increase the size of the Rare Sand Elemental's healing orbs + grant it new healing capabilities**

Despite the Rare Elemental in a Bottle being an uncommon drop from a rare enemy, the Rare Sand Elemental isn't very useful as a summon/accessory. Its healing orbs are difficult to collect due to their small hitbox and lack of homing capabilities. While the homing issue can be partially fixed by using a heartreach potion, the elemental is still inconsistent.

I have two suggestions to improve the effectiveness of the minion. The first is to increase the size of the healing orbs from 1x1 tiles to 2x2 tiles and to increase the health healed from 15 to 20. This should increase the consistency of collecting the orbs and their overall healing abilities. When the Rare Sand Elemental summons the healing orb, it also emits a small aura of green particles. My second suggestion is that any player that has contact with that aura should have 5 health healed. This should increase the Rare Sand Elemental's value as a supportive summon in multiplayer scenarios and increase its consistency as a healer in singleplayer situations.

That would be a nice detail to notice when looking at the astral background for everyone. It would also make the Infection much more interesting as well.

**Move Great Sand Shark to Post-X-Mech Bosses Instead of Post-Plantera**

One of the most bloated stages of progression in Calamity is post-Plantera, with new access to the Abyss, the Pumpkin and Frost Moons, the Buffed Dungeon, and Anahita and Astrum Aureus; players can be overwhelmed with the number of new options available to them.

However, one option that most players don’t even consider is the Great Sand Shark. GSS is in a weird spot, competing with some of the most iconic gear in the game, for frankly underwhelming returns upon its defeat. Of the many possible unlocks, only Sandslasher, Duststorm in a Bottle, and mostly notably the Sand Sharknado Staff are considered viable, which is less than half of it's weapons, and even then, most are overshadowed by their other post-Plant competition.

I’d argue that with the implementation of the reworked early Hardmode progression, now would be a perfect time to move GSS to expand upon the accessible loot in the Post-X-Mechs point of progression, which due to being completely new, is somewhat lacking in items.

Most GSS items have interesting mechanics, and moving them to pre-Mechs would give them a chance to finally secure a niche in progression. You’d likely need to nerf some damage values, and I’d suggest swapping the Spectre and Aerialite bars in Sand Sharknado Staff and Shifting Sand’s recipes (mostly to prevent Forgotten Apex Wand from being completely overshadowed), but overall GSS would fit somewhat comfortably post-1 or 2 mechs I would say; specifically post certain mechs, as this also allows Sand Elemental to still be an important mini-boss right as Hardmode begins, as she would still be the only source of Forbidden Fragments.

**Make oarfish and gulper eel passive until damaged**

Oarfish and gulper eels often tend to hover close enough to the player that they become aggressive even if the player is trying to avoid them. This feels counter-intuitive to how most of the enemies in the abyss work, as they are much more easily avoidable. In late pre-hardmode oarfish can often ambush the player without much of a telegraph at all unless the player is using the hunter potion, leading to deaths that don't feel fair.
Gulper eels are much more visible than oarfish but their higher aggro radius makes them much harder to avoid than the oarfish, and other enemies as well. The issue with the gulper eel is less awareness and much more that avoiding it feels too unreliable. The only consistent options are to kill it or quickly move upwards. This forces the player to react to the gulper eel in a way unlike any other abyss enemies, barring the oarfish.
I feel that if these two enemies were passive until damaged it would give the player more options to avoid or react to them, making them feel more fair.

**Remove the Boss Rush background for bosses who already have a custom background**

The Boss Rush background was a cool addition conceptually, however, it overrides other background changes, in particular, Supreme Calamitas. SCal deliberately has a pitch black background to make it as easy as possible to see her projectiles, but in Boss Rush, the background isn't made pitch black and the filter effect is also applied to her projectiles, and that leads to her projectiles being significantly harder to see, especially if you hallowed your arena to fight Providence. I'd suggest removing the effect for bosses with a customized background, I.E. Yharon, CalClone, SCal, and Moon Lord, because visual clarity comes eons before a cool setpiece.

**Make dialogue during battles easier to read.**

Dialogue during boss battles is cool, however at times it can be very hard to read while also fighting the boss. A very simple way to fix this is by making the dialogue appear when there are no current threats to kill you. For example, Draedon only will say his next dialogue line during a short period of no danger. Another way is to make the text float above you instead of on the side of the screen. Bosses such as superme calamitas and draedon use these types of dialogues. Devourer of gods is a fight which does not have this, however his dialogue when he eats you is usually hard to read because you move away from it too quick to be able to read it. If the dialogue instead stayed at the top of the screen and followed you like a seperate dialogue box, it would be much easier to read during battle.

**Make the lower Sulphurous Sea more worthwhile to check out**

Below the Sulphurous Sea lies a complex network of caves, containing Rusty Chests with their respective loot and small structures remniscent of the Arsenal Labs. While they're interesting to explore and contain decent gear, said gear can already be crafted after defeating the Eye of Cthulhu. The chances of any player reaching and fully exploring the Sulphurous Sea are quite small, due to how dangerous and intimidating the biome can be early on.

Thus, there's little reason for most to check out these caves, which make up the bulk of the Sulphurous Sea's explorable space. Even when the player dives into the abyss, the dangerous debuff will likely drive any players to pass the Sulphurous Sea as quickly as possible rather than to take the time to explore it. In fact, most of the Sulphurous Sea often remains unexplored because of this and the obsoleted gear issue, which is quite unfortunate.

Adding any landmark that is somewhat visible and worth checking out, be it more chests containing better/more lasting gear that is not available during Acid Rain, a unique worldgen structure (such as a run-down arsenal lab for example), or anything else that works better could contribute a lot to making the Sulphurous Sea more interesting and attractive to explore overall.

**Change Malice Mode Tooltip To More Accurately Reflect Its Difficulty**

The previous tooltip worked because there was an incentive to play Malice (to obtain Legendary/challenge drops).

However, several things is different now:
I) there is no longer an incentive to play Malice Mode (legend/chal drop in all modes)
II) Malice stated "only activable on Death Mode", implying it is the highest difficulty mode instead of something completely different in nature
III) the current warning is too light to describe the actual gap in difficulty compare to other modes ("subjective" difficulty set no expectation until the player try it)

Malice Mode tooltip should more accurately reflect the fact that it is a pure challenge modes and also its absurd difficulty compare to other modes.

For example:
"This mode is intentionally overtuned and obscenely difficult, for the purpose of providing the highest possible challenge.

Every boss requires significant commitment and mastery to overcome; for those who dare to challenge expect to die a lot."

Some ways this could be done are:

Yharon gets his signature roar (maybe longer?)
PBG gets something like the 50% phase transition sound
Dragonfolly gets something similar to its scream of sorts?
Polterghast gets something that tells you that the beacon is being used, or maybe multiple screams stacked together?
Cryogen gets something signalling a seal being broken, seeing as it seems to be getting an altar summon later on

**Boost the number of items/goodies that are able to drop from Ravager's geodes**

What it says on the tin. Originally, I had poked #suggestions-discussion on the idea of scaling the amount of items received per geode as you killed Ravager more and more, but this was met with disagreement. I'm still leaving it in, in case devs want to use the idea, but for the time being, a simple boost will more than likely suffice (Ravager's getting a rework in the far future anyway).

The reason this is being requested is because at the current time, too few items per geode drop from Ravager, leading players to farm him too excessively, and it is preferable for this to be tweaked so that just a wee bit of effort is taken out (not all of it, just some of it).

**Make More Accessories and Armor Set Provide Knockback Immunity**

Knockback immune is an important (if not almost essential) stats as not having it often resulting in the player getting bounced around by attacks and chained hit, making it near mandatory no matter the type of player's build.

However, the current source of knockback immune is too scarce (or rather too specific), namely it is only provided by the Obsidian/Ankh Shield line and the Paladin Shield line, and specific armor set like Titan Heart armor set bonus.

Ankh Shield/Asgard's Valor is an amazing accessory but competes with other dash accessory and make half the knockback immune source in the game inaccessible (and contributes to why using Master Ninja Gear is so undesirable). On the other hand, Paladin Shield/Frigid Bulwark is almost exclusively a tank accessory and don't provide general utility until Post-DoG (when it become Rampart of Deity).

Thus, more accessories or armor set should provide knockback immunity, even if it is not really a "shield" accessory. The following are only examples, like Flame-licked skull and some of the Hardmode "shell" items like Giant Tortoise Shell, Hide of Astrum Deus, Core of the Blood God, Absorber, ... While it also make sense for armor sets like Solar Armor, Reaver Tank Set, Fearmonger Armor, Mollusk armor..., and any accessories and armor sets the dev see fits (or even make new lines of items that has kb immune).

The suggested change does not affect lower difficulties, so it isn't a detriment to not play on a higher difficulty while giving a reward to the players who do still take on a challenge. This is especially useful as it reduced the grinding you have to do when on malice mode, more than likely each boss takes more than one try.

On top of the game sometimes eating your input and refusing to let you dash at all for no reason, this can seriously screw you over on fights with a Bullet Hell attack, like Providence, Yharon, or especially DoG with his laser wall, the game can read your inputs and feed them straight into a dash when you're just trying to make a precise movement.

**Give Anahita's Attack (Especially Projectile Spawn Ones like Water Spear, Frost Mist and Music Notes) Telegraph**

Anahita and Leviathan is a duo boss fight. While Anahita on her own is manageable, as she does her attack in a set pattern (Spear -> Mist -> Notes), she is able to randomly mix in detonating bubble (water ball) attack which makes the pattern off timing (her charging also do this). Besides, these attacks get faster and more complicated as she get lower HP, and on top of that when Leviathan's massive size attack get mixed in, Anahita's attack is barely trackable in the midst of chaos. This is also not accounting for the fact that Anahita and Leviathan's attack are dodged by the complete opposite movement (Anahita = you want to be static, Leviathan = you want to be moving large distance).

TLDR: Because of Anahita's attack lacking telegraph, currently the only way the player can dodge them is by relying on pattern recognition (especially when Leviathan get involved), which makes it very unfair considering Anahita is a boss that is difficult to retry (natural spawn only).

Giving her proper telegraph will make her much more a fair fight.

My suggestion to fix this problem is to shove some of the more eccentric items into them to give the player an actual reason to try and obtain them. Some possible candidates I’d suggest would be the Classy Cane (Hardmode exclusive effectless broadsword… need I say more?), Slap Hand (why is this hardmode blood moon exclusive), Red Ryder, and Toolbox. Those last two I think would be the most likely, as they’re both decent items, but are completely holiday locked. Red Ryder is one of a few select pre-Boss guns that would give you access to Arms Dealer, and Toolbox is a convenient little accessory that helps with building. I think they’d give the perfect incentive to Gold Crates, and actually give the player a way to obtain them outside of messing with the clock or waiting an entire actual year.

**Hardmode Combination Mining Accessory and Combination Building Accessory**

The existence of the Supreme Bait Tackle Box Fishing Station begs the question of why a similar accessory doesn’t exist for Mining and Building respectively. The argument for SBTBFS’s existence is it is the player’s reward for reaching Hardmode. I’d argue similar accessories for building and mining would be just as reasonable.

The start of Hardmode gives all enemies a massive stat buff, and I feel the last thing a player would want to do is chunk a massive piece of their protection against these stronger enemies to a couple mediocre mining accessories, as this would only prolong the process by how often they’d die to new threats in the Caverns. This is similarly true for building in biomes more dangerous than just Surface Forest, as Hardmode bring annoyances like Derplings, Gastropods, Wraiths, etc.

Furthermore, most of the mining accessory effects simply get outclassed by using potion effects. If a player goes out of their way to make these accessories, I feel like at the very least they should be stronger than a single potion, but this typically requires stacking, and I already mentioned the issue with that.

I would say the mining accessory could use the Mining Set, Ancient Fossil, Archaic Powder, and/or Spelunker Amulet. For building, taking the Architect Gizmo Pack and adding the Toolbox, Toolbelt, Presserator, and/or Royal Gel.

Give Wall of Flesh the ability to fire its lasers through blocks.

Wall of Flesh has to be one of the most annoying fights due to its eye laser barrages desynchronizing when one of the eyes is blocked by tiles. Making the eyes able to shoot through blocks would make the fight much fairer and more enjoyable. This would of course make the fight easier so to make up for that Wall of Flesh could fire it’s lasers more often, with more complex patterns, and/or add new attacks.

**Make Burning Sky Function like a Melee Weapon**

The Burning Sky, after the change, functions exactly like a magic wand. Not that it is similar to a magic wand, but that it is a magic wand that does melee damage and doesn’t use mana. You hold it out in front of you and it calls down a storm of fire at your cursor like the meteor staff or lunar flare.

I suggest decreasing the projectile damage and making it swing like a melee weapon so it deals contact damage. Additionally, give it some axe and/or hammer power since that is what the new sprite looks like.

📎 0Yoyo_Test_-_HM.txt 📎 1Yoyo_Test_-_PostML.txt

**Make Yoyo Bag Have Reduced Secondary Yoyo Damage (Instead of Having Both Yoyo Reduced Damage)**

To put it simply, this is the current yoyo bag:

You have 2 Yoyos, but both have damage reduced by 33%, therefore you have 67%x2 = 134% damage

However, one thing not accounted for is that low base damage get countered by enemy defense more. On top of that, this mechanic also makes yoyo benefit less from ALL other increase damage source, as the reduction is multiplicative, therefore the more damage you have the worse Yoyo Bag become, which is counter-intuitive for a damage accessory.

Statistically (file below), in many case Yoyo Bag end up DECREASING your damage output compare to even just Warrior Emblem, with the only upside being its longer range (which is literally provided by String accessories). This make it an extremely bad case of subclass specific accessory.

Thus, this is the suggested change:

You have 2 Yoyos, the primary one (the one that always exist no matter if Yoyo Bag is used or not) deal 100% damage, and ONLY the secondary yoyo instead deal less damage (eg: 34% damage). That way you still have 100+34% = 134% damage

That way while the performance of the secondary yoyo might be very minor (due to enemy defense), at least there is no chance for the accessory to make Yoyos perform worse.

(Following are tested data on the Yoyos with comparison of using Yoyo Bag/Warrior Emblem, if you are interested in stats):

**Change the abyss to make its progression more stable, and each layer can stand out from the others.**

the abyss in calamity has a big problem, its very strange progression. some enemies are not supposed to spawn at a layer or sometimes have too high stats.
Also, the adult eidolon wyrm is supposed to be fought in the abyss but they are far too small in width while there is plenty of room.

So here's my suggestions:
Reduce oarfish and gulper eel hp
Eidolon wyrm, reaper shark and colossal squid can no longer spawn at layer 3
The bloat fish can also appear in layer 3 and reduce its hp
chaotic pufferfish can no longer spawn at layer 2
Lumenyl and depths cells are only dropped by enemies exclusive to layer 3 and 4, but drop on death considerably more
Expand the biome in width, for a bigger arena for adult eidolon wyrm

**Make Lunar Pillars Drop Meld Blobs or Meld Construct**

As a enjoyer of rogue, meld construct is a key material to defeating post - Moon Lord enemies including the Moon Lord

Since Lunar Enemies still drop Meld Blobs, materials to craft the items are always still missing and Meld Blobs are always the problem.
Everyone knows how overly frustrating it is to farm Lunar Event including the Moon Lord on Revengeance and Death+

So making the Lunar Pillars drop **Meld Blobs ** or Meld Construct will heavily decrease the stress of farming Lunar Events and making Meld crafting so much easier for players who are crafting a wide variety of Rogue Weapons and Accessories.
Lunar Pillars should drop up to 10-15 Meld Construct

PS: Also since Meld Construct is made from stardust, it fits quite nicely as Lunar Pillars are relatively similar to the "celestial" theme.

**Have Sunken Sea Draedon Biome Lab Generate Inside/In the Middle of Sunken Sea (Instead of to the Edge/Side)**

The Sunken Sea always generate a sea prism structure at its middle so this should be possible.

To put it simply instead of making Sunken Sea Biome Lab generate to the side/corner of the Sunken Sea, make it generate more in the middle/center area of the biome.

The reasoning for this is because Sunken Sea is a large biome for early exploration when player have low pickaxe powers and limited lighting. This means it can be difficult and slow for the players to explore most part of the Sunken Sea before assuming that there is nothing left to gain.

However, this is even worse for new player, as if they got unlucky and didn't explore the literally ENTIRETY of the Sunken Sea, they might very easily miss this Biome Lab, which is made worse in that it is supposed to be the first biome lab to explore, making all future Schematics completely out of order while disabling a tier of Draedon's weaponry.

Making the Biome Lab located in the centre of the biome solves this issue, as due to the centre of the biome incentivizing as the "point of interest", thus more likely that the player will try to reach the centre/heart of the biome.

(The suggestion is not to move the lab to literal centre of the biome, just at a central location)

for reference, the weapon is obtainable before you kill a single boss by simply killing bone serpents in the underworld

Right clicking causes the weapon to charge, taking about 2-3 seconds to reach to max, and this gives your next LMB swing a charged dash.

This charged dash:

deals 500+ damage without any modifiers or equipment
is omnidirectional, completely controlled by your mouse, and can be cancelled instantly by just mousing over your character
HAS FULL I-FRAMES DURING ITS ENTIRE DURATION, ABOUT A SECOND
faster than basically any movement option you get until about mid-hardmode
can be chained into itself to unlock infinite, extremely fast horizontal/vertical flight before you kill a single boss

Make this weapon obtainable after hardmode begins or around slime god/WoF tier and/or nerf its capabilities, this is completely broken and shouldn't be obtainable as soon as you start a playthrough.

So, in it's current state, the stool is a fun, but easily replaced accessory. Right now, even the Slimy Saddle has better reach and jump than it. I suggest we buff it's stats to make it not instantly replaceable, and then also incorporate an upgrade for it. Maybe combining it with the Architect Gizmo Pack, or making some other combination mining accessory, since that's what I feel it's best used for. I feel it can be a really useful accessory if we give it some love! buff it's height or reach, maybe let it move, something like that! It could become something loved and used by many if it could do more than be instantly sold when the player beats King Slime.

i want to clarify, this is not a joke. this is a genuine pitch. this thing has some genuine use but gets outclassed fast, so i think if we buffed it, it could be a really useful accessory.

However, seeing as v2.0 reduce the price from 24 Platinum to 10, it can be seen as Calamity want to make the item more accessible to more players, which is why I think Queen Slime that already drop an item with similar effect to Rod of Discrod: the Hook of Dissonance and is also a Hallowed boss; can be suitable to be an alternative acquisition method of Rod of Discord.

This way even for players who never lookup the wiki and don't grasp NPCs happiness mechanic can also have a chance to obtain the item.

**Add a visual for the Astral Meteor falling to the world in the background. Why?**

Since Calamity is now out for 1.4, people can watch meteors fall during their Calamity playthrough. However, the Astral Infection, one of the biomes the mod adds, does not have an animation for it's spawn. There should be an animation that shows the Astral Meteor falling in the background to add to the immersion of your playthrough after beating the Wall of Flesh. At the moment, the Astral Meteor falls as soon as the Wall of Flesh is defeated, making an animation useless. So I propose the Astral meteor doesn't spawn until after the player returns to the surface so that they can witness it crashing into their world. This could be done by making the code wait for the player's coordinates to be greater than or equal to surface level so that they are able to witness the meteor falling. This change would provide a bit more interest in the Astral Infection and possibly show new players that an asteroid has indeed crashed, as well as increase the overall immersion when playing the mod.

Making a goblin battle standard is extremely difficult as getting the required amount of tattered cloth takes a long time. I suggest increasing the goblin scout spawn rate if a goblin invasion has not happened yet. This way, getting the goblin battle standard is an easier task.

**Make Cnidarian a whip/whip-like item**

Currently, it feels difficult and unintuitive to use, and fills the same role as a whip except somewhat worse, as it doesn't give tag damage or anything like that. Making it into a whip would fix this, and also make it fill a spot between leather and snapthorn that doesn't have anything right now.

**Have bloodfins not get consumed when you press the quick buff key when used in conjunction with Lifeforce or Cadence potions**

Bloodfins are supposed to be a post-Providence alternative to supreme healing potions. While it heals 10 less life, it gives a strong boost to your life regeneration. This is completely fine by itself.

However, if you use your quick buff key (like pretty much everyone does) in conjunction with Lifeforce or Cadence potions, you will not get healed by the bloodfins, and while you will get the life regeneration buff from the bloodfins, you are also given potion sickness. Even with the charm of myths/deific amulet/rampart of the deities potion sickness cooldown reduction, not being able to heal for the first 45/60 seconds of a fight, especially against something like DoG, can be detrimental and unfair.

**Remove the LOS Checking From all Yo-Yos**

There is a relatively unknown mechanic that existed in 1.3 and was retained in 1.4, which is that Yo-Yos decrease in damage and flight time if the game decides that you do not have line of sight to your target. The terraria wiki says that "All yoyos deal 25% less damage if at least one solid block is between the yoyo and its user. The remaining flight time of a yoyo is decreased by 1/3 of a second every time it strikes an enemy. Flight time is decreased by a full second instead of only one third if the yoyo has its damage reduced by being out of line of sight.", and my own quick testing shows that this is in fact the case not only for vanilla yo-yos, but the calamity ones as well. This is a seemingly random nerf to a category of weapons that are already very underutilized, and considering how many weapons can attack through walls without a harsh nerf like this, I would suggest simply removing this aspect of yoyos entirely, as it accomplishes very little besides making early game worse if you decide to use yoyos.
