**Make Drop Chances for Boss Drops increase with Revengence, Death, and Malice Mode**

Currently, drop chances only scale with Expert mode, going from 25% to 33.3%. Because you are adding difficulty, like Expert mode, it would make sense to increase drop chances for the items with Calamity difficulty increases. These chances are obviously left in the air due to it being difficult to understand balance depending on the amount of item certain bosses can drop, but 50%, 66.6%, and 75% respectively would make sense given the increase from Normal to Expert.

**Buff the giant clam mini boss a little, since it just feels so underpowered**

Currently this mini boss is far weaker than any bosses or events fought at this point. The only "attacks" there are, is a simple teleport which can be hooked away from easily, and some clams spawned which just fall down and barely hit you at all. In hardmode the clam becomes a decent boss, but I think, even for a mini boss that our little clam here could use a small power upgrade, dare I say maybe an actual attack or two. Amidias is an extremely valuable npc, with his help and some beginner gear you can easily go into the abyss early game and get really good stuff there. the weapons sold are really good too.

**Increase the range of most spears**

The obvious and strongest trait of spears, usually, is their fantastic range. That's the reason they exist altogether. Yet in this game, spears most often have SHORTER range than a normal true melee sword! Even when they have roughly equal, or even a bit higher range, a sword will have much more effective range and usability in general since they're basically giant hit rectangles while spears are a small line, and the extending animation of the spear means it's not using its full range most of the time.

Increasing their range would play more into their niche and make them a much more interesting option, where true melee swords have more dps while spears have longer range. There's a few ways to go about doing this, from adding shaft to the sprites themselves, upscaling them (lol), or changing their attack animation to utilize their range better.

This might require affected spears to get compensation nerfs, of course.

The fact that it is gone makes me want to keep using the Brain of Confusion as it is. The buff the brain got in 1.4 made it a really good accessory, on par or even better than the DR of the worm scarf. I feel like it would be a good addition to the Amalgam line to make it worth using.

**Astral Pottery**

Since astral furniture already exists, but astral pottery does not, I think it would be cool to finish the set for astral clay to make pottery to go with the furniture. Especially since there is no use for Astral Clay aside from making the vanilla pottery items, which is flatly boring.

I imagine that for some of these pottery items, they'd faintly glow with an orange or teal light, and have an alien design to them (Klein Bottle vase? Mobius Strip plates?). Though of course they'd be entirely decorative.

**Lower the early game movement speed increase and slightly buff early game boots**

The buff that Calamity gives makes early boots much less useful as accessories and makes early game progression less satisfying by making getting or upgrading boots feel much less eventful for those who use them. This can be fixed by making apart of the speed increase be in early game boots instead of the player, which would make them more useful as accessories in the early game since it gives more of a reason to not just grapple around instead of using them. It also would mean that there's more satisfaction in getting or upgrading them for people who use them, but people who don't use them can still be as fast as they need to be since there still is a moderate increase in player speed without boots.

**Allow Lava Waders to be crafted from Obsidian Skull Rose**

Lava Waders have an interesting crafting recipe. In vanilla 1.4.1 onwards, you need to obtain water walking boots, lava charm, and obsidian rose, but you must combine at least one of those accessories with an obsidian skull (they all have combinations with this accessory) in order to craft lava waders. However... they might have forgotten something when adding obsidian rose to the lava waders recipe: they did not allow for obsidian skull rose (obsidian rose + skull) to be crafted into lava waders, meaning if you made OSR, you basically just wasted an obsidian rose.

In Calamity, outside of grinding for the 2% drop rate from exclusively fire imps, there is only one other way of obtaining it (to my knowledge, anyways, correct me if I'm wrong): crafting it. However, the jungle rose is also a royal pain to get, perhaps even more so than obsidian rose. They're very rare to find in their own right (quote: "Jungle Roses appear as 1 block tall red flowers on Jungle grass. Cutting them drops a Jungle Rose, with a chance of 1/20 (5%)."). (Note: I suggested this without knowing that the dryad sells them)

My suggestion is to allow OSR to be crafted into lava waders so that the players who make the mistake of crafting it don't waste their obsidian rose.

**Reset dodge cooldowns when a boss is summoned and there is not a boss active**

Dodges currently work by guaranteeing a proc once, and then going on cooldown, usually for several minutes at a time. This is a great change that makes them consistent and able to be built around.

However, the cooldown is consistent no matter what you got hit by, and so if you get hit by something like a demon eye on your way to summon a boss, it's a great inconvenience because you can now not proc dodge for 2 minutes. With the length of some bosses, that's often the entire first half of the fight where your dodge is on cooldown because you got hit by a small enemy. Where it really matters is for fights like Supreme Calamitas, where she does more damage at the beginning of the fight. That dodge you've lost to a random demon eye can be the difference between life and death if you get hit in the first bullet hell.

Resetting the dodge cooldown when a boss fight starts would remove this issue by giving you a fresh dodge at the start of a boss fight, rather than brutally punishing you for getting hit by a 1 damage slime before a boss fight.
This also wouldn't apply if you summoned a boss in the middle of another boss fight, in order to prevent cheesing that way

**Revamp/Addition to More Interesting Method of Making Ores Renewable (Other than just 'Ore Slimes')**

Ore slimes are incredibly efficient at their job for renewability of ores, but is a boring method and just requires Zerg potion and farm, further amplified by the fact that they are not only legitimate but often the go-to method for scarce ore like perennial and uelibloom ores.

While many of these may end up still being "to kill something", I just want it to be more interesting than slimes. Also I like the Luminite Planetoid idea so you will find a lot of the idea similar to that. This suggestion is to gouge public interest on reworking ore slimes

(This txt file is just for further clarification)

Here are some example ideas that I can come out with (pardon if they are uninteresting, devs will come out with better idea than me):

1. Have Cloud Elementals/other related enemies like Harpies drop Aerialite Ores
2. Have Cryogen spawn crystallined structure of Cryonic Ore on its initial defeat/in a more limited way in subsequent defeat (so you are not forced to mine on each Cryogen defeat)
3. Have nearby Living Mahagony Trees/Leaves Blocks converted into Perennial Ore at the place where Plantera is defeated
4. Have Astral Ore generated further into the Underground Astral Infection (which is currently mostly unused)
5. Have Jungle Biome generate a 'tree' made of Uelibloom block (similar to current Astral Infection altar/tree) structure on Providence' initial defeat

Scoria not included since I feel it already has unique acquisition and is abundant in amount; Brimstone Crag is planned for rework; Cosmilite and Auric to my knowledge is planned so also excluded.

The Mana Cloak is an accessory added in Terraria 1.4 that provides a fun and interesting way to play the mage class, that being having the option to pick up special falling stars to restore mana instead of always relying on mana potions. The item is now one of the possible ingredients for the Ethereal Talisman, being a mana flower upgrade, but its effect does not carry over to the Ethereal Talisman. I'd really like it if it did, that way I can have the effect of my favorite mage accessory in a viable build.

**Make minion summons only cancel through right-clicking the buff icon**

you have no idea how infuriating it is to be in the middle of a boss fight as a pure summoner, only to find that all of your minions have been cancelled due to having too many buffs.

The buff given by summoning minions should be permanent/irreplaceable unless the palyer intentionally right clicks on the buff icon to cancel/remove their currently spawned minions.

**Nerf Malice Mode Desert Scourge's charge attack**

The problem is the strength in which the boss homes in on the player combined with the speed of the attack, you get put in situations where regardless of dodging, it can just turn towards you so you get hit anyways. Grappling hooks work a lot of the time, but sometimes the speed of the charge is too quick to be dodged even that way since there's still the delay between when you click the grapple button and when it actually hits whatever you're trying to grapple onto.

The Terratomere is the upgrade of the Terra Blade/Edge, and is used for crafting the Exoblade. The Terra Blade is also used in Zenith’s crafting recipe, meaning you have to get 2 Terra Blades. The Terratomere is available by the time you would get the Zenith anyway, so why not. Same goes for the Horseman’s Blade, if you crafted The Last Mourning you would have to get 2 of them to craft the Zenith. My suggestion is that in the Zenith’s recipe, the Terra Blade is replaced with the Terratomere, the Horseman’s blade with The Last Mourning, and in the Exoblade’s recipe the Terratomere is replaced with the Zenith.

**Make more variations on Summon Tag weapons**

What do I mean by Summon Tag weapons? I mean weapons like Whips that grant tag damage. I suggest more variations of these because Calamity Mod already has a few non-minion/sentry weapons that are summon damage, like the Slime Puppet Staff and the Borealis Bomber, as well as the mechanically unusual Cnidarian, but these weapons don't have tag damage to boost other summon weapons. Giving these weapons and any similar future weapons Tag Damage to boost summon damage not only solves another consistency problem, but also might make tag damage weapons more interesting than just whipping away at the enemy.

**Give the Blight Slimes a special behavior to set it apart from other slime enemies**

Right now, as it stands, there are a LOT of slimes in Calamity, with not a lot being different at all from eachother besides what materials they drop. I feel like the slime which is negatively impacted from this the most is the blight slimes, as they can be found right off the start of making a new world, and aren't tied to any ore. Basically, the enemy's only purpose is to be a way to obtain blighted gel. I feel like maybe giving these slimes are little bit more of a unique behavior (like having them do something else besides just hop around like a typical slime), would greatly help the enemy not just feel like a necessary tack-on to the roster of enemies of the Corruption/Crimson.

**this might be difficult, but PLEASE add more parry weapons**

A parry enthusiast like myself love this mechanic and want to explore something like this into terraria. It’s a mechanic I love to use because of the satisfaction I get when I counter attack the enemies attack or projectile in other games. Though We do have the ark series, but it doesn’t give me the satisfaction of actually parrying an attack but instead only give me a damage boost.

So I want to see something more like an actual attack come out of a parry. A parry that shoots projectiles, make a slash/stab, deflect a projectile to make it yours, etc, anything else other than a dmg boost to a weapon.

I just want to expand and explore the potential parry can have and have some parry fans like myself can enjoy playing this great mod. I know you just introduce the parry mechanic, but this can be a gate way to making more weapons with this mechanic. It’ll encourage players or true melee players to take risk and practice patience and prediction to deal more dmg.

It’s a really cool mechanic in many other game platforms and hope to see terraria calamity have a take on this and explore this mechanic to the fullest potential.

**make whips deal additional damage if they hit an enemy with the end of the whip**

I feel that a whip might be more painful if you hit something with the sharp tip rather than the blunted sides. The damage could be between 150-300% of the base damage and doesn't affect tag damage. This doesn't have to be applied to all whips, but would be a nice mechanic on a few of them.

• seperates whips far more from melee weapons
• replaces the critical strike the summoner class is missing for 99% of the game
• encourages you to build a distance from the enemy but still stay fairly close, further reinforcing the summoner class play style

**Add a setting to toggle off Quality of Life changes like the Faster Building speed and Faster Movement Speed**

The player should be able to choose their playstyle, and for most people who normally play vanilla 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 overwhelming

This allowing for the player to choose if they wish to have those faster speeds enabled or if they wish to grind for the items which would normally provide those speeds (As in Hermes Boots/Architect Gizmo Pack)

This would allow for those who wish to have the fast speeds to enjoy them but also for those who don't want to be that fast early on/don't want to build that fast to have the goal to obtain the items which allow for such speeds.

**Remove damage falloff of Draedon Arsenal weapons**

Having to charge your weapon from time to time so you can use it is a bit tedious, but manageable. Being forced to do so after and before every boss fight because if you don't your weapon wont be doing as much damage as it could is not.

The damage falloff of Draedon Arsenal makes it so you will not only will want to charge your weapon when they are empty, but also when they are half empty, and some weapons can get depleted that fast in just a couple seconds of usage. Removing the damage falloff would mean you would only want to charge your weapons when they are depleted, which would make it much more manageable.

**Have the Boss Health Bar Indicating Phase Transition**

(The picture is taken from Starlight River Mod, just as a reference of what this suggestion wants)

While most of the Hard Mode bosses have pretty reasonable Phase transition such as 50% HP = Phase 2 and so on, particularly many of the late game bosses can have their Phase Transition happening at seemingly random timing. This especially apply so for Duke Fishron, Polterghast, Devourer of Gods and Yharon (and especially these two), Exo Mechs (less so, but it is good idea for new player to know it is 70/40 and 60 for Twins exactly) and Supreme Calamitas (bullet hell, big phases like Seeker and hearts).

This feature will give a very direct indicator of when the boss will change behavior without requiring the player to either "just know it" (eg: Wiki ed) or only through repeating attempts.

As some bosses like Cryogen, Yharon have a lot of different subphases, I will leave it up to the dev of whether they count as phase transition or not
While the Calamity boss HP bar is no longer default and obviously a reference, it will be appreciated if it get this feature too

I agknowledge that you can buy truffle worms from Amidias in HM, but that still is a consumable summon. If you need to farm for drops from Old Duke or Duke Fishron it takes significantly longer due to the need to acquire the bait.

**Rebalance/Adjust the chaos state debuffs for both the Normality Relocator and Rod of Discord.**

Many of the bosses in calamity, especially the late post-Moon Lord bosses, are made easier using the Rod of Discord/Normality Relocator. While these items are not necessary, they are extremely useful and beneficial. Previously, the recharge time (chaos state debuff) was 10 seconds. In version 2.0, the Normality Relocator now gives a 20 second recharge time, and the Rod of Discord now gives a 15 second recharge time, both in and out of boss fights.

Outside of boss fights, this long delay can hinder one's movement, but inside, it can be an inconvenience, a distraction that can turn the tides of the fight against the player. Even though these items are not necessities, they are useful enough to assist in these battles.

Arguably, the Normality Relocator is extremely overpowered. It can be used without having it in your hand, and it keeps your momentum after teleporting. However, I believe that the 10 second delay was good enough. At the very least, the normal rod of discord's chaos state should be 10 seconds, not 15, as it is less overpowered.

There have been various suggestions about how to fix this in the past, but none of them have received any particular fanfare. The idea of renaming SG isn't very outlandish either, as Goozma has been a name commonly associated with The Slime God (specifically a hypothesized Post-Yharon Superboss variant) in years past, so it would be equal parts a fun callback and a slight ironing out of something many people, myself included, have considered to be one of the hiccups of the 1.4 port.

**Decrease the Amount of Auric Ore Use for Auric Bars**

I suggest decreasing the amount of Auric Ore used for Auric Bars to 20, making it 4 ore per bar. The reason for this is because making it a ton of ore just makes the player have to spend more time searching around the world for Auric Ore. Unlike other major mining points in the game, like at the start or right when entering hardmode, by the point in the game were you need Auric Ore you are already so OP compared to any enemies you may encounter underground that it is just a tedious task to mine for the ore. Decreasing the amount of ore would be a nice QoL change to help speed up the post-Yharon farming process.

Compared to the other Exo weapons like Photoviscerator or Celestus, and even Auric-tier melee weapons like Dragon Pow or Ataraxia, I find that Exoblade feels outclassed and unoriginal.

The most reliable way to see the specifics is to consult the wiki, which some players may not want to always have to pull up.

It would be helpful to have some sort of in-game catalogue where the player can view the specific numbers, source and mechanics of any debuff so they can play around those mechanics and know what to expect from dangers that utilize those debuffs, or even how to utilize those debuffs against enemies (if applicable.) Not everyone will find a use for this, but having an in-game way to see a source of danger can be a useful tool, such as existence of the bestiary.

This idea could be expanded to list buffs as well. While most buffs do have their details written on their sources (potions, special tiles, items), it would be useful to have a centralized location where their numbers, source, and mechanics can be viewed, instead of having to read the tooltip of every one of their source items. This could allow the player to easily plan ahead what buffs to use for future scenarios, or just have an easy way to find what items have the buff they need.

tldr a detailed beastiary but for debuffs and buffs

**Rework the Blood Clot Staff**

The blood clot staff summons a blood clot. This blood clot will act like many other minions and charge at enemies, but I think the blood clot staff should be changed to a staff that summons something else. Also the corruption counterpart is the dank staff and dank creepers are part of the hive mind fight, but blood clots are a new thing that weren't in the perforators fight. Maybe the staff could summon perforator worms.

**Rework Progression of Slime God**

Currently, Slime God comes before Queen Slime which does not make much sense progression wise. Additionally, the Slime God in lore is the ruler of all things slimy, which includes his creations of King Slime and Queen Slime. The Slime God is also one of the first beings ever to be in Terraria. It grew from bacteria and began consuming things around it. An ultimate and ancient existence such as the Slime God should be given a place in progression as such, so I suggest a progression change. In his current spot, you fight just the Crimulan and Ebonian Slime Gods with no Slime God Core, giving you the currently available loot. Later, post-ML, you fight the Slime God Core in addition to the Crimulan and Ebonian Slime Gods in a much harder fight, potentially between DoG and Yharon as there is currently no intermediary bosses there.

This change would truly put Slime God on the pedestal it deserves for how ancient and powerful he should be according to the lore.

**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 only becomes crafty post-SC and Exo mechs. However, it can be gotten from a special challenge pre-Sc by defeating providence under specific conditions The reward for doing the challenge is the profaned soul Crystal which until SC can be used as a vanity item.

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

**Buff Late Game Menacing/Lucky Reforge Modifier (Maybe Make Them Scale)**

(the document is just so I don't clog up the suggestion with all the gear I used)

As of currently Warding completely outclassed both modifier especially for late game. (Lucky is similar to Menacing in performance due to enemy defense)

For reference, this is a (defensive aligned), post-Yharon Auric Tesla Melee build:

• Melee Damage Increase 105%; Melee Crit 65%; Defense: 256; DR: 12.28%

With full menacing you get: 105% + (4x7=28%) = 133% damage increase, which seems extremely good but weapons have a base damage modifier of 100%, so actually you increase your damage from 205% to 233%.
This is about (28/205) = 13.65% increase in damage output, instead of ~28% expected.

Now compare to Warding: you get: 256 + (12x7=84) = 340 defense and 12.28 + 7% = ~17.36% (it is not 19.28% because of DR softcap)
Comparatively you increased your defense by 33% (84/256) and DR by 42% (for 5.08 divide 12.28 ).

This should also be noted that this build is DEFENSIVELY aligned, the % increase will be even higher on a damage-focus build while impact of Menacing is even lower.

While having Menacing straight up scaling like Warding (double/triple even) will be way too much, what I means is they can at least scale a little. For example, make Menacing scale slightly in value while giving Lucky armor penetration and make both values scale with game progression (eg: Menacing = 4,5,6%) will make them actually worthwhile to use other than just to achieve a 'balanced build' or in no-hit situation (considering the cost of not going Warding instead).

**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.

**Slightly rework Malice Mode Brain of Cthulhu**

The main problem with the boss is RNG, specifically with the bosses teleportation combined with the increased speed of the minions. If the boss decides to teleport where you're going to go or across from where it was relative to the player causing the minions to come flying your way, its a guaranteed hit taken no matter what you do. I think what can fix most of the RNG is simply to increase the minimum distance the brain can teleport relative to the player, and preventing the brain from teleporting where the player is going to go. EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE FIGHT AS IT IS, the fight would remain basically the same in difficulty, just removing some RNG.

**Buff the Silent Modifier and make it differ from Menacing**

Right now, Silent and Menacing are exactly equal in terms of their DPS for anyone using stealth strikes as Rogue. The only difference is that Menacing affects all weapons, with or without a stealth strike, while Silent is only usable for stealth builds. It seems unreasonable to have a default Vanilla modifier work better for Rogue than the class-specific one.

Additionally, using Stealth Strikes in a fight is a skill-based strategy as many rogue weapons do not home early on. A missed stealth strike is potentially 9 seconds worth of wasted damage which can be seriously harmful, especially in timed fights. Rewarding the player with more damage/stealth generation for playing a more difficult strategy sounds reasonable.

**Adjust the damage that Devourer of Gods deals on Master Mode**

As title. DoG on Master Mode is a miserable and crushing test of your will to go on, and a far cry from the difficulty, fight length, and lethality relative to player power at any point in a Master Mode run before SCal and Draedon/ExoMechs.

Out of respect for the fact that balancing Master Mode is very low on the dev's list of priorities, I did a great deal of math and have come up with how I would change the damage of the fight.

The first chart is the changes I propose, and the second compares the lethality of the fight on Revengeance Mode and Master Mode, if the proposal were implemented. You can see in the chart that I've kept parity between the lethality of the two modes, which I think is fair due to how much longer the fight is already on Master Mode.

For any further questions on my math or to see the spreadsheet, please ask.

Also, I'd be 100% willing to do the testing of these changes, if that would be an issue

**Make SCal Drop More Ashes of Annihilation**

The SCal fight takes a long time, much longer than any other boss fight in the game, even Dreadon. This is mainly due to that SCal has so many phases where you're just dodging projectiles (bullet hells) or attacks from other enemies (brothers and Sepulcher) and not actuclly fighting SCal, which just burns time. I am not saying this is a bad design, I am just saying that the fight takes a very long time.

When crafting Shadowspec Bars it takes one Exo Prism and one Ashes of Annihilation, however the ratios of the amount of each resource, that Dreadon and SCal drop respectively, don't make sense. SCal takes about twice as long as Dreadon yet drops 18-27 Ashes of Annihilation, while Dreadon drops 24-32 Exo Prisms.

I suggest increasing the amount of Ashes of Annihilation that SCal drops from 18-27 to 28-37 to compensate for the longer battle time so when farming for endgame developer items the amount of each item about evens out.

**The Adult Eidolon Wyrm deserves a Relic**

Clocking in at 5.7 million HP and dealing a whopping 1,182 damage maximum (in Master Mode), the Adult Eidolon Wyrm is the only thing currently classified as a Superboss and it is by far the hardest single enemy in all of Calamity... but it has no Relic. The Cragmire Maw and Giant Clam have Relics, but the Adult Eidolon Wyrm doesn't. It seems a little strange for it, and presumably the future Superbosses, to be left out of the Relic party.

While I understand that Superbosses are designed to be in a league of their own and almost secret bosses in a way; Relics are not just another boss drop like Trophies and Masks (hell, they've been distributed to some mini-bosses in both Vanilla and Calamity, so of course they aren't just a boss drop). Relics are more similar to achievements than Trophies; they are marks of mastery over a deadly opponent in the hardest mode Vanilla has to offer and one of the hardest modes that Calamity has to offer.

Given the fact that (to my knowledge) all Superbosses will require a tough as hell fight to beat, I firmly believe that the Adult Eidolon Wyrm, and all future Superbosses, deserve a Relic. After all; anyone who has the audacity to take out a Superboss on Master or Revengence difficulty certainly deserves that little golden "I'm good at this game" badge.

This is pretty straightforward. The Vampiric Talisman uses a Rogue Emblem in its recipe but has no upgrade. Putting it as part of the Nanotech would allow players to only need a single Rogue Emblem instead of two.

Upgrade chains people, upgrade chains! There's no reason an ultra-lategame accessory should use a downgrade of existing items.

***Potentially add an upgrade to the DCU***

The Drill Containment Unit is one of the most fun mounts in the vanilla game, however it feels like it could use an upgrade in calamity, something(s) to add that Calamity flare that everyone here loves. There's a lack of (subjective here) fun mounts in calamity, and a DCU upgrade could be a way to add some more fun.

Add a way to summon certain minibosses

minibosses such as the Earth Elementals are quite rare, and a way to manually summon them would be very much appreciated. this doesn't even need to be an ordinary summoning item, you can also (for example) have a miniboss spawn when you put a specific combination of blocks together or something. you can get as creative with this as you'd like, but trying to grind these rare minibosses for their unique loot can be really boring and really slow.

Make the elemental stones a separate accessory, and maybe combine with the HotE.

The Heart of the Elements was previously both a powerful accessory and a culmination of the whole pre-ML stage of the game. While the elementals now being more particular to the Summoner makes sense, the stones that are now no longer part of its recipe should still combine into a helpful accessory for all classes. Given that the stones also have an elemental theme, I propose this hypothetical be accessory be called the Stone of the Elements.

Further, this Stone of the Elements might combine with the Heart to combine their functions like in old versions of the mod, or with other elemental-themed accessories for other classes to add its function to those classes' elemental accessories.

**Utilise the new boss telegraphing in older fights**

More modern bosses in terraria such as the DoG rework, the Storm Weaver rework, Exo Mechs, and even vanilla's own EoL now use telegraphing for their attacks. I feel this allows for much more stylish and complicated attacks to be used without feeling unfair. My suggestion is that this be implemented into older boss fights, such as: WoF's laser spam, Polterghast's shots (especially from its little sentries, maybe also for its dashes in phase 2?), Profaned Guardians' spread spears, and etc.

This might be quite a lot of work to implement, but I think it would really help the feeling of fairness for players both new and old, especially those taking their first dip into more challenging modes! Perhaps this would also allow further changes to bosses?

**Make mining easier through the mod's progression**

Mining is a pretty big part of Terraria and Calamity, what with the added ores, the focus on large worlds, and the big arenas that are needed for some boss fights. Despite this, there aren't that many progression for the mining speed of the player until the Crystil Crusher. I think the Fossil/Archaic Powder line should be extended into hardmode and post-hardmode to significantly buff the player's mining speed. There could also be an upgrade line for the gravedigger shovel. Solutions vary, but the crux is that mining speed should scale better.

__**Way to get the Abyss all the way down to the Underworld**__

I know this is a big suggestion and that ya'll aren't working on that right now, but I think it might be possible to get the Abyss biome all the way to the underworld, but with some trickery.

The idea is to turn lava into a sort of void liquid in the abyss. That way you can have it go all the way down. Also see if you can make it so there is no interaction between water and lava whilst in the abyss, to make a clean barrier between the two without Obsidian getting in the way or the water evaporating cause of all the lava. Of course, the mock-up void liquid that is actually lava would have to be regenerating, to keep someone (like me) from draining that out (of course the anti-cheat of the spiiiicccy air definitely works on it's own)

Addendum: This would also make it so the player has a new challenge to overcome with the liquid being lava down there now.

---

As for why I think the Abyss should go all the way to bottom. It all boils down to the theme of the biome itself. It's a place that's implcitly themed as the endless oblivion. The Abyss where all things fall down to the deepest of the deep.

So having it essentially be a rocky test tube that abruptly ends right at the incredibly tame (in comparison) Underworld, it just feels like a let-down and makes the Abyss itself seem lesser for it. The player should not be able to dig to below the infinite depths and poke a hole in it. That makes no sense thematically.

It's an endless darkness that is the end of all ends and literally the place where you go at the very end of the mod. It should supersede the Underworld many times over, and literally not have a floor, just a hole to the void below the map (obviously engineered so the water doesn't drain, of course).

**Make SCal drop a very strong light pet**

SCal and Exo-mechs are foils in many ways, that I won't list here. The Exo-Mechs also drop the best mount in the game (Draedon's gayming chair) so it would make sense, keeping with others parallels, that SCal drops one of the best other tools. Since she is a fire witch, she should be pretty good at making light, so it would make sense for her to drop a very strong light pet. Once the player kills SCal, they're certainly ahead enough in progression to not be bothered by things like "light/darkness" anymore (and it's in the continuity of Moon Lord dropping the suspicious looking tentacle).
Also, currently once you're done with SCal there's basically two things left in the game : Ancient Eidolon Wyrm and the Boss rush. Both have to do with the abyss. So having a very strong light for the abyss as a reward for SCal fight would make sense.

***Make a Rogue station buff***

Every class has its very own station buff, Melee has the sharpening station, ranged has the ammo box, Mages have the crystal ball, and Summoner have the Bewitching table, each station has it's own use, all offensive, in different ways, but.. what about Rogue?

The rogue class is (at least in my opinion) a very fun and unique class, with a whole new mechanic and 3 new ways to play the game, yet, it has no station buff, a bit weird, in my opinion

As for what the station itself could be, i.. have no idea, but i have an idea for what it could grant

-Idea 1
Station buff that grants +X amount of stealth generation

-Idea 2
Station buff that simply grants more rogue damage/attack speed

-Idea 3
Station buff that grants armor penetration on Stealth strikes (could also be just an addon for sharpening station)

**QoL changes to get arenas easier**

Arenas are very important in Calamity, especially in post-hardmode (insert ref to exomech world size arena) yet there aren't really many mechanics to help the player make those arenas. There could be instant build items like there are in Fargo's Mutant mod, or ways to mine and build more quickly/efficiently. There could also be natural arenas to help the player fight. It's already somewhat the case with the Golem room being bigger. We could have a natural arena close to spawn for EoC/King Slime/slime god/etc, one in the underworld for WoF, one in the brimstone crag, a few in the jungle, an arena or at least big room in the Dungeon for Ceaseless/Poltergeist for example. If natural arenas are too much, they could be "pseudo-natural" by being made of blocs that breaks together like the fake dungeon bricks. You could even say those blocs can only be mined/only breaks together after a certain tier to not impede early game, etc.

There are many many ways to tackle this, but the base thing is : Arenas are too tedious to build for something so important to the game.

**QoL change to Providence**

Make it so when she enters one of her cocoon forms, you get some form of audible or visual notification.
Currently i find myself taking the most amount of damage for straying too far away from providence when she enters her cocoon form, and by the time i realize she's in this form, i have already taken at least 100 dmg from the Holy Inferno debuff, for going too far away from her.

I have 2 ideas to solve this problem: Make it so there is a visual ring around providence, that indicates the range that you can move around in without going too far and triggering the Holy Inferno burn.
Or, make it so when she enters the form, there is an audible sound that indicates this. For example, the new Ark swords signal when you are able to use their parry ability again.

I don't think i am the only person suffering from this problem, i feel like it's something very important that was overlooked in the making of this boss.

**Add buffs for other summon weapon types to existing summoner armor sets that don't have them**

In both vanilla and calamity, and in terms of armor, there is next to nothing that benefits two of the three subclasses of summoner, namely whips and sentries. For whips, the only set of armor to benefit the subclass at all is obsidian armor, and the only armor sets to give sentries are available at two specific points in the middle of progression. These are pretty niche for when you obtain them, and I'm honestly saddened that there's no benefit to either whips or sentries in the other armor sets.

This suggestion aims to fix that. I suggest adding a few bonuses to the summoner armor sets, which would benefit these two subclasses (whip speed and range for whips, sentry slots for sentries). Most likely these will only come a little bit later in progression, and if they are closer to when the whip- or sentry-centric armor sets become available, their bonuses would likely not be as much as those. However, it'd definitely be nice to not have to rely on obsidian armor or valhalla armor for extra whip range or extra sentry slots.

Just as an example of what I'm talking about, Silva armor (with the horned hood) could increase whip range by 40% and speed by 25%, alongside the current bonuses. Another example: Auric Tesla armor with the space helmet could give an additional +2 sentries. Not suggesting these changes specifically, nor would these be particularly balanced; I'm just hinting at what it would look like should this change be implemented.

I recognize that Calamity devs are working on adding 1.4 content in the future, so let it be noted that this recommendation is only in regards to wind based weapons, which I feel vanilla Terraria could've had more of

There are only two paper airplanes currently, and they aren't very good as a consumable weapon, these are insufficient for boss fights and hard to collect many of
There could be craftable and consumable rogue weapons, similar to the various throwing knives, which are effected by the winds strength or direction
The "North Pole" weapon is the only non-consumable weapon which is effected by wind
With the addition of the many weapons in Calamity wind based weapons are slim-to-none

**Add noticeable phase transitions to Hive Mind, Cryogen and Calamitas**

Hive Mind's second phase and Cryogen's fifth phase cause the bosses to suddenly move towards the player without much warning, which can lead to hits that feel rather cheap if the player is standing close to the boss as they change phases.
Calamitas has a similar problem in that after the bullet hells she sometimes near instantly dashes into the player. This feels especially common after the second bullet hell, as she changes behaviour after it to constantly dash at the player.
I feel that if these bosses had animated phase transitions in which they cannot harm the player or be harmed they would feel more fair. It wouldn't need to be much, could be as simple as a noise and particle effect after a short pause. Plus, a little movie magic goes a long way in making boss fights feel that little bit more special.

__**Make Yharon's background more appealing (via adding an object like a custom giant warm-colored sun)**__

Reason:
Instead of making the background sky just a recolor, I do suggest adding some more fanciness during the fight, like a custom object that's in the sky. This could make Yharon's fight much more amusing to other people, since he is a fire type of dragon. Also, what I mean by "custom" is just something that isn't from vanilla Terraria (just from the mod itself). This would make the fight more intense since Yharon is one of the final bosses in the Calamity Mod.

Other Options:
If Yharon is not going to have an object in the sky, at least try increasing the opacity of the sky's color a little bit so it feels like you're actually fighting a fire dragon a little more (maybe you can even do both of these options as well).

Amalgam as of currently has emblem-like stat of +15% damage and effect when getting hit by enemy (but not offer any defensive capability), which fits its style of being a super aggressive accessory.

However, this also means that the +100% potion duration effect seems do not fit the item as it really is not accomplishing what the accessory is trying to do, and feels quite just for the sake of giving it a unique effect since its other (previous) counter part, the old Core of the Blood God have special effects tied to it. This effect just seems a bit random and slap onto Amalgam after the removal of its many (previously) strange effect from Leviathan Ambergis, Fungal Clump and so on.

(Worthy of mention is that it might possibly inherit Brain of Confusion's dodge later which currently seems more like an oversight, and fits the effect of the Amalgam much better).

On the other hand, Core of the Blood God have almost pure HP, protection and potion/utility effect, which seems perfect to get said effect instead.

Currently Avenger Emblem is just a nerfed down version of Class Emblem for almost no reason other than vanilla did it; which the downside make everyone just skip the item and only use it in late game item crafting into stronger accessories like Mechanical Glove/Fire Gauntlet and Destroyer Emblem.

On the other hand, it is after all 3 mechanical bosses are down, which is a massive progression in Calamity; and all it does apart from Class Emblem is really that it benefit multiclass more (which summoner multiclass is already nerfed by 50%); reduce RNG of having to farm WoF for class specific emblem; or to stack emblems which have an inherent cost of sacrificing utility. However there are many class accessories that already does similar like Celestial Emblem, Deadshot Brooch, Celestial Shell... which all offers much higher utility in other way.

The nerf just seems unjust for an item to be weaker than many items earlier in its progression.

For some reason these stationary boss spawning entities can be hit by Falling Stars, which are fully capable of killing them in a single hit, and can cause a boss fight to start while the player is completely unprepared and is completely unavoidable.

Furthermore, Anahita is a Hardmode boss, which makes her near impossible to even survive a single hit from without late pre-Hardmode gear or even early to mid-Hardmode gear. This is quite a common occurrence with the increased falling star spawn rates in 1.4, and can make building a chore if you’re constantly worrying about getting one-shot if the game just gives you the worst RNG. This is without even mentioning how much this completely uproot hardcore runs. A simple immunity to Falling Stars could easily fix this issue.

**Remove the ability for Cnidrons and Trashers to phase through blocks**

This “mechanic” is incredibly unintuitive, obnoxious, and unnecessary. If you try to go anywhere lower than surface level in the Sulfurous Sea you get these 100 damage 400 HP defense-damaging tanks falling through the ceiling and bashing you within an inch of your life if you don’t have enough DPS.

Trashers are already obnoxious enough on the surface, but now you have to worry about them falling on you out of nowhere, and if you’re in a cramped space, you’re as good as dead. I’m not even sure what issue this is trying to fix? Is it to prevent players from just towering up to avoid them or something? You can still do that with platforms! All it really causes is for the player to get punished by an enemy they couldn’t see phasing through half a screen of solid blocks because they can just… do that, I guess?

This is just as true for Cnidrons except to an even worse degree due to their semi-miniboss status, their water blast machine gun, and having nearly 600 HP. It used to be understandable because Cnidrons used to spawn in the Underground Desert, it was cramped, and because they have a massive hitbox, made it easy for them to get stuck and get cheesed despite supposing to be a difficulty enemy, but it doesn’t make much sense anymore as they’re surface only spawns now, and it made no sense to ever give it to Trashers at literally any point. They spawn in a giant open sea and move incredibly fast already. It also makes them phase through blocks quickly which only compounds the issue.

Make Shark Fins generally more accessible OR less required in early Hardmode

It's pretty bad (compared to other similar uncommon materials like Trapper Bulbs or Turtle Shells) in the current state. Sharks are already uncommon enemies in vanilla, Calamity takes away one of their natural spawning points by default, then there are other smaller ocean enemies and ??? spawning randomly that further increases the frustration of this grind, and players are required to get at least 5 of these to craft the Aqua Scourge boss item, more if they want Megashark and other crafts. I know that Fins also drop from Sand Sharks during Sandstorms, but should this really be the go to place for Fins? It feels a bit off.

I don't think Zerg potions/Candle combo should be required in order to make the grind for a single boss summon item take less than an hour in the ocean, so I suggest either increase Shark spawn rates in hardmode ocean, make Sharks spawn in Sulfurous Sea (Sulfur Shark?), make Sand Sharks common enemies in hardmode desert instead of Sandstorm only, or make Shark Fins drop from some other Sulfurous Sea or Acid Rain enemy, OR make the Aqua Scourge summon item require less Fins. There might be other solutions for this, of course.

**Buff Ninja and Pumpkin armor**

With the pre-Hardmode ore armor reworks, the new stats on just individual pieces of said armor sets can overshadow the entire set bonus of both Ninja and Pumpkin. Gold and Platinum Greaves alone give 12% movement speed, which, with at least 2 Quick modifiers, already matches the Ninja armor’s entire set bonus, and the 9% crit (3% from each piece) is pitiful when considering it’s basically equivalent to 2 Lucky modifiers (8%), and Platinum Chainmail gives 6% crit alone. This isn’t even factoring in all of the other bonuses the Helmet and set bonus give on top of that.

Furthermore Pumpkin gives 10% damage. That’s it. You can get the same damage (per class) by crafting solely their Wulfrum headpiece. The fact that Pumpkin is all-class does not make up for this at all, considering Wulfrum is considered a joke in the community at the moment, and is constantly getting badgered for reworks, which speaks volumes to how underwhelming this armor set is when this is its only effect.

As a reminder, both these sets (unless it’s the Halloween event) are supposed to be post-Boss. These are supposed to compete with VICTIDE and they’re barely better than Cactus, let alone Copper or Tin. Let me reiterate; Copper or Tin. The starting tool tier. I completely understand if the devs simply say they don’t care, but I think reworking these sets to at least be viable competition like what was done with Gladiator and arguably even Snow armor would be worth consideration.

**Make the Ball and Chain a used item that toggles a state instead of favourited**

The Ball and Chain is an accessory that can be used to toggle double tap dashing items such as the Shield of Cthulhu, Master Ninja Gear and the Asgard shield line. Since Terraria does not possess a way to dash other than double-tapping, this can be very useful for situations where precise left and right movements are desired, such as building platforms or during sections of bossfights, most notably Supreme Calamitas' bullet hells.

Currently the item is implemented such that you must favourite/unfavourite to toggle dashes; however, there are many scenarios where needing to rapidly switch between enabling and disabling your dashes can mean the difference between life and death. It can be quite frustrating to have to open your inventory just to toggle an item, and dying as a result because of your inventory impairing your vision or your cursor being too far away from the desired Rod/Normality Relocator teleport location. I also believe that this is fair to the spirit of the mod, as this would be something players would be able to do in Terraria anyway, if not for the overly restrictive nature of the way the controls are programmed.

To remedy this problem, the Ball and Chain would instead serve as a quickly usable item in some form; examples could include granting a buff similar to Pet Summons, toggling a player state such as the Hermit pet or the Revengeance/Death/Malice items, or having it be an inventory item or equipable vanity accessory with a keybind not unlike the Normality Relocator. Any of these methods would surely make it more fluid to utilize in the middle of heated moments.

What it means is that building a loadout for mages get pretty boring, since you just put your sigil/talisman and call it a day. You don't have the option to use different accessories for different playstyles or different fights. Also, between Vanilla and Calamity there are no accessories that boosts a "no mana potion" playstyle, so that's another thing that might be cool to add.

While it's still a very visually appealing weapon, it being how it is currently holds it back, and I'm of the belief that it needs something of a facelift. Dark Spark as is, while it's definitely an interesting item that plays with the idea of being a reverse last prism, inherently has a number of mechanical issues as a result;

-It's extremely slow to get to the point where it's a technicolor light show, hampering the enjoyment of using it (17 seconds total for it to go from black to rainbow, as opposed to the Last Prism's 3.4 seconds going from diverged beams to single laser)

-Once it gets to that point, it drains mana extremely fast, requiring some form of mana flower to maintain - which inherently nerfs its damage due to mana sickness as well as being extremely resource hungry (common of all prism weapons but it taking 17 seconds makes this especially egregious)

-The only boss it could reasonably be brought to is DoG, due to lying after every other boss in the tier and DoG itself being a progression wall that has an explosion of new items beyond it that rapidly cause it to be outscaled and having an extremely small window of use

-Due to piercing damage being halved, as well as having a specific 85% damage nerf against DoG and DoG now reducing all non-head damage a great deal, it's no longer as good of an option as it used to be for DoG, arguably being outclassed by the much cheaper Phantasmal Fury, which can be made after killing Poltergast a single time as opposed to Dark Spark's minimum 2 on Expert

-Compared to the excellent sound design of Yharon's Crystal, the swooshy lightsaber noises the Dark Spark inherited from its predecessor could definitely be improved upon

All these things combined it's a very pretty toy that disappoints people when they finally do manage to pick it up, and while mechanically it still can do what it used to do, it feels a lot less cool now that Calamity's matured in both mechanics and aesthetic. The item is almost four years old now, and I think it's in need of a meaningful change.

**Make Draedon Lab's Defense System Less Trivialized By Blocks (and More Interesting)**

Obstacles: defense system of the operating base of one of the most advanced alien race/entity in the lore, excavating the resources of the world and building an empire on it; while abandoned still helds significant treasure

Solution: 3 dirt blocks in front of the turret

The current turrets/defense system in Draedon Lab's, both biome and abandoned ones are weak at best and trivial at worst; easily bypassed by even a character with no gear by simply having some blocks in the inventory. This kind of break the immersion considering the lore impact of Draedon as a character and we later face Draedon's creation in the form of Exo Mechs (one of the two current 'final boss' of the mod).

These turrets (or lab defense system) should be made more impactful/less easily trivialized. While the approach depend on the devs, one of my own example idea is to have the turret fires attack much less often and cooldown based but have block piercing and higher damage, utilizing attacks such as Titanium Railgun will give the futuristic feel it needs.

**Rework boss aggro/targeting in multiplayer**

Late game Calamity bosses are very fast paced and have many high velocity projectiles, leading to a lot of cases where a distant player will suddenly be targeted and recieve damage when they had no time to react or no room to dodge. My suggestions for fixes, should they be possible, are:

Bosses will switch targets only in between distinct attacks (Some already do this, it seems, but some bosses like Eye of Cthulhu will randomly switch in the middle of rapid dashes)
Boss projectiles target one player at a time rather than both (Storm weaver seemingly targets both me and my friend with lasers, and we occasionally get hit by lasers intended for the other player while dodging our own.
Bosses switch targets after x attacks, and then roll a dice to see who they will target next. Higher/lower aggro changes the chance of being selected as the next target.

I don't know if these are the best way to go, but they are specific ideas that could be considered, because the inconsistency of boss aggro is a very frustrating artificial increase in multiplayer difficulty.

**INCREASE TROPHY DROPRATE OF SUPREME CALAMITAS, SUPREME CATACLYSM, SUPREME CATASTROPHE**

Building a trophy room is one of the best things to do with calamity, it shows hard work and challenges you have done, especially with relics.

Exo mechs have a 100% droprate for their respective trophies, depending on who you killed last. Requiring you to beat them at least 3 times.

With shadowspec weapons this becomes easier due to the high damage output. So beating them two more times is not that hard.

This is a completely different thing for Supreme Calamitas, Supreme Cataclysm and Supreme Catastrophe.

Due to Supreme Calamitas bullet hells, in which she becomes untargettable. the fight becomes 90% bullet hell. Farming 3 trophies each with 10% droprate is no fun when you constantly have to dodge. Even more so on Death mode.

I suggest making their trophies droprate 50% instead. This way its similar to Exo Mechs where you have to beat them more than once.

**Remove Invisibility potion's rogue bonuses and make a new potion that has them, minus the invisibility and going away on hit that invisibility potion currently has**

Several players have complained time and time again how they dislike not being able to use invisibility (and shadow) potions due to the invisibility, although good situational awareness is useful for knowing where you are even while invisible, most players cannot. This is worrying due to invisibility being pre-boss and most players still not having the skills needed to effectively use the potion. However one issue that does affect every player is that invisibility potion's buff goes away if you're hit, which is annoying as fuck, and causes potion supplies to quickly run out making invisibility potions very bad cost-effective wise unless you're nohitting and we do not want to force people to nohit to best use invisibility. I assume it would be a hassle to IL edit that out so making a new potion available early in the game to replace invisibility potion.
Shadow potion with this would also no longer make you invisible (which again players complain about over and over) and could turn you into a shadow instead.

**Remove invisibility/shadow potion's weapon specific stat bonuses and make them just grant stealth regeneration and the other bonuses**

These bonuses are a completely inconsistent mess that likely cause way so much balance issues and make the potions way too valuable due to how every weapon gets a boost to one stat being the following:

Holding a rogue boomerang boosts rogue damage by 10%.
Holding a javelin boosts armor penetration by 5.
Holding a rogue bomb increases rogue velocity by 10%.
Holding a spiky ball increases rogue critical strike chance by 10%.
Holding a dagger increases rogue stealth regeneration by 8% even while moving
As you can see some of these boosts are fine, some are situational, one is concerning for balance and one is completely redundant once you get Dark God's sheath.
Having Invisibility and Shadow potion just add a flat 10% (or another value) stealth regeneration would be far more fitting (being invisible/concealed makes you stealthy, not stronger) and generalized for all classes and maybe less of must picks, allowing rogue weapons to be stronger without any buffs and more useful outside of boss fights while keeping them in the same vein and possibly having an easier time balancing them against them.

**Give mage more variety**

right now after just completing a mage play through, I find mage to be a class that takes almost no brain power to play, which i think sucks. Thats not to say the weapons aren't boring, they're super cool and they're very original, my problem is that there is no different playstyles, like in rogue for example, you can be stealth based or spam. In mage, there are no variations on playstyle. you just slap on a mana flower (which is obtainable pre-boss) and by a ton of mana potion for like 30 gold which is nothing, and you can spam any weapon indefinitely (yes i know mana sickness exists but still).

When I think of mage it makes me think of crafty genius wizards, not spamming goblins. I feel like mage should have more strategy and choices built in, like ranger getting to pick different arrows/bullets depending on the situation. Also right now accessories for mage are horrible, calamity literally adds one, ethereal talisman, and its just a post moon lord mana flower. 1.4 did add some new mage accessories, but guess what, they're all mana flowers too.

Basically I'm saying mage could use some more spice and at least add some interesting new accessories that are NOT mana flowers.

I saw this natural generation on my first playthough after the draedon update and thought it was a cool design, then looked up the wiki for info and noticed it wasn't intended for a bee hive to spawn like that, only a door leading to nowhere.
So, this idea would be to add both a "lore" connection due to Draedon's tampering on the Bees and also to give a little extra value to the Jungle Bio-center lab outside of the Draedon "questline" like how the Ice lab has the "Ice theme" guaranteed item or the space lab has the herb bags and planter boxes.

**Give an option for the player to either spare or kill Scal at the end of her fight**

I think the player should be able to play choose the fate of Scal. sparing her obviously does the same thing as what happens right now but deciding to kill her means she doesnt spawn as an NPC but perhaps drops more ashes of annihilation. Obv you can just re-fight again to get access to the NPC if you decided to kill her the first time. It could be done similarly to how you spawn the first of the exo mechs.

My reasoning for this is lore implications. The yharon fight can make the player question why they are randomly killing bosses and since Scal is after yharon it would make sense for the player to come to a realization and save instead of kill.

**Change Flowers of Mortality's Holy Flame to Plague**

I recently unlocked the ability to make the Flowers of Mortality, and I noticed something about the item. It does less DoT than it's predecessors. Holy Flames does 25 per second, Brimstone Flames does 20 per second, and Frost Burn (unless it was changed and I missed it) does 8 per second. These combined do less than Plague, which is 50 per second, and reduces defense by a small amount. I do acknowledge that the flowers themselves do significantly more damage than the Wither Blossoms.

But, it's not just a change to make the weapon a bit stronger. It's also a bit of a thematic change, as well. The Flowers of Mortality are made from the Wither Blossoms Staff and the Viral Sprout, two poison based, DoT leaning weapons. I can understand that it's following the rest of the Elemental weapons in using the same three debuffs, but it's not (at least in my eyes) an Elemental weapon. Just like not every weapon that uses the Galactica Singularities is an Elemental weapon.

Plus, if you are using Statis' Blessing, or further down that accessory route, you already apply Holy Flames with every minion. In my opinion it wouldn't add too much additional damage, maybe a couple thousand to one of the longer boss fights over the duration of the whole thing.

Edit: Alternatively; lessen the damage of the weapon itself a tad and make it apply the full Elemental Mix.

**Make Yharon SubPhases (Especially Phase 2) Have More Balance HP Value/Spaced Out**

What I mean by this is that Yharon should have more equalized HP for its subphases, the following are how Yharon currently phases:

Revengeance: 100%, 90%, 75%, 55% = enter Phase 2; 44%, 27.5%, 11%
Death: (immediately enter subphase 2), 100%, 80%, 55% = enter Phase 2; (immediately enter subphase 5), 35.8%, 16.5%

As you can see especially for Revengeance Mode, Yharon Phase 1 subphases last very long while for Phase 2 it is constant Phase transition.

This causes the issue that Yharon is constantly having phase transition which during the transition is very much vulnerable to attack, which causes Yharon to transition to the next phase even faster, and for Death Mode it is worsen by the fact that Yharon have an unnecessary transition at the start of Phase 1 and Phase 2. On a high damage setup, this can even result in Yharon being "stunlocked" from the repeated phase transition.

Yharon's subphases should be spread more evenly, especially the HP distribution between Phase 1 and 2, considering Phase 2 have much more subphases. For Death Mode maybe even remove the unnecessary Phase transition for the subphases that are skipped.

**Make an Alternate Crafting Recipe for The Zenith That Uses The Upgrades to the Swords In Its Current Recipe**

Currently, the Zenith is even more annoying to craft than in vanilla as the swords in its recipe have upgrades and the swords have most likely been converted into those by the time you are Post-Yharon. This means that you must go back and reobtain all of these swords as now you only have the upgraded version. I suggest adding an alternate crafting recipe that changes the swords that have upgrades to the upgraded sword so you don't have to reobtain the items as well as other recipe changes. Here are the suggested changes:

Terra Blade - > Terratomere
Star Wrath -> Galactus Blade
Horseman's Blade -> The Last Mourning
Remove Starfury and Enchanted sword from the Recipe as they are used in another post Yharon Weapon, the Ark of The Cosmos. This would also be balanced as you have obtained the other harder to get weapons.

These changes would work to effectively streamline the crafting process for the Zenith so you don't have to re-farm and re-craft the ingredients. To account for these changes, I suggest adding an alternate recipe for the Exoblade that uses the Zenith instead of the Terratomere so you don't have to reobtain the Terratomere.

Note: The animation can probably be left unchanged as I'm sure most people would not care too much.

A lot of the time, the player wont be able to see storm weaver changing color when the boss is off screen. Even then, where the lightning comes from also isn't telegraphed at all, making what would be a simple and effective attack into something of great frustration to the player. Simply adding telegraph lines for where Storm Weaver and the Lightning it summons will go would go a long way to make the fight feel more fair in the grand scheme of things.

**Replace the evil island with a subworld**

The evil island is a kind of weird way to solve the issue of not being able to access the other world evil. It's very out of the way despite being something that has its use in the early game, it's very small and spawns more harpies than anything evil. You need to spread the evil yourself with what you gather there for it to work well. The best use of the evil island is to get the chest with the evil dungeon item.
I think a more elegant solution would be to make a subworld with the other world evil. That way you get the real experience of the other evil without needing to have it in your world. You can get the shadow orbs/crimson hearts, the enemies, the bosses more easily without needing to put anything in your main world.
Also, and that's a lot more subjective so it's just a footnote, but I think it's way cooler to access the other world evil by taking a portal or whatever to an alternate dimension than by flying around the world like an idiot to find a small island inexplicably inhabited by another world evil. Makes more sense.

**Make Storm Weaver Not Close in (Except During Charging) If Player Is Inside Phase 2 Tornado**

The new Storm Weaver rework (especially Phase 2) feels nice to play, though the snow/wind blast attacks can generally use longer telegraph, one particular attack that I feel can use tweaking is the tornado.

Tornados conceptually basically is meant to change the flow of the fight by completely blocking off horizontal movement that the player is accustomed to for the first half of Phase 2, and must rely on vertical movement only to dodge Storm Weaver's charge. However, as of currently Storm Weaver just close in (non-charging) very quickly towards the player, which just results in the player having no place to move or Storm Weaver charging from a vertical position which puts the player in an undodgeable position. This fully incentivize the player to just slime mount fall/fly out of the tornado, making the attack very uninteresting.

Making Storm Weaver not do this and instead, only close in by charging will make the attack feels much better to fight it.

**Make Death Mode Blood Moon Modifier Buff Enemies Instead of Blood Moon Spawnrate**

Blood Moon fishing is a new mechanic added in vanilla 1.4 Journey's End, and with the addition of Blood Moon fishing enemies/miniboss, they can become a new main source of Blood Orb.

However, currently they are completely overshadowed by the Death Mode massively increase spawn rate in 2 ways:

1. Blood Moon enemies constantly spawning completely disincentivize Blood Moon fishing as you have to constantly fight;
2. Blood Moon enemies just drop more blood orb due to their massive spawn rates.

On the other hand, there are also problem with such significant spawn rate boost early on being unbeatable, and results in chain-death if the player is in an undefendable position.

Death Mode modifier is specifically causing this problem so make it buff blood moon enemies in stats (maybe blood orb drop rate too) instead of just super boost spawn rate will make it much more reasonable early game and making Blood Moon fishing more viable.

**Something to deal with the multiple evil biome patches**

This is by far one of the most annoying things about terraria when you actually think about it. There is only one patch of the Hallow and it's due to hardmode. There should be something that allows you to change how many patches of evil biome there are in a world on world spawn.

This is further backed up by calamity making boss summon unconsumable and crimson heart/shadow orb loot being renewable from crates that make there be much less reason to have many corruption/crimson patches in the world spawn, which would only end up corrupting snow/jungle more often. This is made even worse given that hardmode makes ANOTHER world evil patch spawn.

In a new medium or god forbid large world, theres no feasible way(without other mods/journey mode) you can stop corruption/crimson before biomes start getting infected unless you divulge hours of time early purely to making quarantine zones, which is extremely tedious and unfun to do.

also unless they're tightly knit together it just looks awful esthetically.

**Put some lore in boss summons, trophies and relics**

So I know lore is not exactly a priority, given that it's gonna be reworked and all that. So that's more a suggestion for the future when more lore will be added in-game.
Bosses lore came from... well, lore items. Which are just floating scribbles with two sentences from Yharim. That drops after you kill a boss. Now there is also the bestiary, giving a few blurbs more about the entity we fought.
There are still two obvious items that could support some lore that are already "vanilla" : the trophies and the relics. They could even replace the lore items, the Yharim TED talk could be moved to the Relics for example. That would lock it behind revengeance/master mode though, so it's not clear cut. Another idea would be putting it on trophies. Eventually, the trophies could be a guaranteed drop on first kill. Thus they would just be current lore items but that could be put on a wall. And even if the Yharim TED talk doesn't get moved to there, the trophies and the relics are prime targets to put some more lore about the bosses. After all they're trophies, they're meant to reminisce and celebrate the fight, why not talk about it at the same time ?
Perhaps more useful, it would be interesting to put lore about the bosses on their spawner. Most bosses are fought with spawners, so that would give lore about most of the bosses. This is important because spawners are of course used before the fight, so it gives you an idea of what you're fighting and eventually why rather than just knowing about it afterwards.
So there are 3 more "obvious" places to put lore. Not sure exactly if there is that much to say about Crabulon, but I'm sure there is plenty subject for important bosses like Moon Lord or SCal.

**Make the laboratory furniture functional for NPC housing.**

I love the design of the furniture set, but I can't really use it to make a house for any NPC as-is, because as far as I can tell the set doesn't have anything that counts as a table or a chair.

I would say the crates (Reinforced Crate, Laboratory Containment Box, Aged Reinforced Crate, and Aged Laboratory Containment Box) should count as chairs, since they're the closest thing the set has to something that could realistically be sat on comfortably. The terminals (Laboratory Terminal, Aged Laboratory Terminal, and Exo Terminal) should count as tables, since they look somewhat like a workstation, and most work stations function as tables in vanilla. Several of the objects could count as light sources, since they glow, but the screens and displays would make the most sense.

Those exact furniture items working exactly like that isn't necessary, just what I think makes the most sense- I just want a table/chair/light source of some kind from this furniture set. Adding new items to fit those roles would also work, but obviously that requires more work than just adding a flag to items that already exist.

Note: There is an exo furniture set of regular furniture that somewhat fits the exo laboratory furniture, but obviously that's post-exo mechs, which would mean you can't make an NPC house with it until you're practically done with the game. Also, personal taste, but I think that set doesn't work so much for a factory building as much as a high tech lounge aesthetic.

**Make Rusty Medallion usable (or just give Ranger actual accessories)**

Rusty Medallion is currently at a massive contradiction with its own design. It currently release 3 Acid Droplets from the sky at a 20% chance. These droplets do 30% of the weapons base damage, capped at 30 total. Due to the frankly massive downscaling of the bonus projectiles this damage is pitiful, so it seems to be incentivizing a use alongside a high base damage weapon.

But with how pitiful the velocity is on these projectiles they never hit anything. So perhaps you'd switch to a faster weapon? Well now once the droplets actually hit enemies they do single digit damage. The best it can do is inflict Irradiated, which is actually a majority of the damage the projectiles tend to do. This, however, is also awful because Abyssal Amulet completely outclasses it in every aspect. Not only does it just inflict the debuff on hit of ANY WEAPON, but it deals about 10 times as much damage per second. With a duration of 2 to 6 seconds. And it’s obtained from the exact same location.

This is desperately asking for any kind of buff/rework. Perhaps it’d be better with an effect like Corroded Caustibow, or a large chance not to consume ammo, similarly to how mages have mana reduction on the Mana Flower line; maybe a projectile that scales damage with higher use times? A lot of players have an aversion to slower (both firing speed and projectile speed) weapons due to their high chance to miss, so indirectly buffing them with accessories could help increase their usage. The only other thing I could think of is earlier access to projectile velocity buffs. Obviously these would need to be weak due it mostly being an effect reserved for Elemental Quiver, but it’s a consideration.

tl;dr Rusty Medallion needs to have its projectile hitbox size increased, its ramp-up replaced with something more like Dynamo Stem Cell’s, its projectile velocity increased, and/or ALL of the above. Or just rework it entirely.

**Make High Damage, Slow Fire Rate Weapon (Generally) Benefit Slightly Better With Damage Increase**

Notably that ESPECIALLY those that have no piercing/aoe/additional projectile spawn or defense ignore mechanic. For example this will be weapon like musket and handheld tank.

There are many reasons for this, the file is a lengthy test to show how good ranger weapons of different characteristic scales with damage against DoG, but this is the tldr version:

1. Due to math, high damage slow fire rate weapon scales very poorly the more damage increase modifier you have. This means the more damage focus your build is the worse these weapons scales for your build;
2. These type of weapons are often very hard to hit (and costly to miss), which inherently make these weapons much harder to use and inconsistent;
3. These weapon synergy way less with defense reduction like armor penetration, ichor debuff and so on. It is much harder to buff their damage and usefulness.

All of these results in why often the fast fire rate weapons are much preferred over the slow ones, and the buffs from this suggestion hopes to make them more viable.

To be specific this suggestions is not to say buff their base damage (as most of them perform better than fast weapon at low damage investment), but rather the fact that they scale very poorly with the more damage increase you have comparatively. The suggestion is so they benefit from damage increase slightly more than other weapons.

Boss summon item for Skeletron

There's a boss summon item for nearly every boss in the game, or at least an easy/reliable way to summon them repeatedly, except Skeletron.
Whilst he's not exactly a vital boss to farm, some of his loot has some low drop chances and could take on average ten attempts to get.
Spawning him those ten (or maybe more) times is just an unenjoyable chore, especially compared to just needing an item for all the bosses before him.
The way you fight him after the initial attempt relies on a rare accessory and NPC murder, and I reckon there'd be a lot of value in having a skull or something you can use like any other boss summon item to just call on skeletron to get those less common drops

There is the option to fiddle with configs to make the npc murder faster, but I don't think players should have to rely on buffing their NPCs with a config to be able to farm a boss

**Make the "Tainted" enchantment, actually viable**

It appears that the supposed "5x base damage" doesn't really do what it's supposed to, because the base damage doesn't seem to be representative of the often much higher DPS of the projectile on its own.

After some testing it seemed that every weapon tested performed worse with Tainted (Exxo Blade and Ataraxia for example) and all the DPS of the weapon comes from its projectile rather than its melee damage.

Increasing the damage boost from 5x to something much higher could fix the issue, or maybe transferring the damage its projectile would have onto the melee swings.
(for example, Ataraxia did 7k DPS with Tainted, but over 30k without it.)

(it's also worth noting, that the Elemental Excalibur Right-click function does not do noticeably more damage than it's regular attack, again due to the projectile. If Left clicking while close to the target, it simply does more DPS than right clicking.)

**Add more accessories/buffs/armor sets to benefit Sentries**

Sentries are a bit overlooked compared to normal minions, but in my opinion they can be a really cool playstyle that's different from normal summoner, since you have to keep moving them around during boss fights to make sure they can still hit the enemy and whatnot.

Unfortunately, Calamity doesn't really have anything to benefit sentries specifically- all of the armor sets and accessories add minion slots and mainly benefit minions. It would be nice to have some equivalent to the several accessories and buffs for minions that gives you extra sentries instead, or changing some of the armor sets to give an extra sentry slot or two.

Without getting too specific (since specific item suggestions are obviously a no-no) the easiest thing to add could be something that combines the accessories the drop from the Ogre, since those currently aren't part of any recipes, and are a bit underwhelming compared to other summoner accessories (they give 1 sentry slot compared to the 2 minion slots of an accessory you can get at a similar spot in progression)

What I mean by that is DoG shouldn't hurt the player by contact after Phase 1 laser net and before Phase 2 Teleport for slightly longer.

Phase 1 laser net is the big lasers where DoG turn invisible while does the attack; as of currently it go out of invisible way too fast.

Phase 2 teleport (especially REVENGEANCE MODE, where the teleport is slower) have slightly misplaced timing that causes it to be able to deal damage to the player before the teleport is finished.

Both of these can often cause unfair hit while dodging the lasers.

**Death Mode Boss Relics**

Calamity adds a number of Relics that are obtainable from its modded bosses, which drop in both Master and Rev+. However, Death Mode is considered a higher difficulty than both, so I think a set of unique relics for this mode could be a good addition. They could be differentiated from normal relics by being Brimstone themed, similarly to the Death difficulty enabling item and maybe slightly bigger?

Furthermore, this would also allow Calamity to have Vanilla bosses drop Relics on its own difficulties, which normally isn’t possible due to programming limitations.

Elemental Summon Accessories should be visible in Vanity Slot

The waifus (elemental accessory summons) are really well designed, and their appearance can compliment a lot of vanities (including people who just want a lot of stuff around them)
I propose that, similar to the Howl's Heart, the elementals are still visible when worn in vanity slots.

To clarify, this refers to the-
Elemental in a Bottle, Rare Elemental in a Bottle, Pearl of Enthrallment, Eye of the Storm, Rose Stone, and of course the Heart of the Elements.

Looking at Calamity's Vanities, it seems to make the Heart of the Elements appear in vanity slots, which is nice, but no mention of the precursor accessories. I figured it was worth mentioning that mod adds that feature, though I think it would be beneficial to include it as part of Calamity by itself, including the five prerequisite accessories.

**Have the ability to right click a summon weapon to desummon it instead of retargetting**

A number of people (if not everyone who has played summoner) can agree that desummoning minions is annoying, having to right click a buff slot in your crazy amounts of buff to summon your shiny new summon or to get something else during a fight that is more designed for the phase you are in

And easy fix would be to just make right clicking the selected staff in your hotbar desummon it, since you already have to right click the buff slot to desummon it regardless, so it would make sense that aspect wouldn't change.

Also, with the addition of whips, the r-click mechanic to make a summon target an enemy is redundant now, since the target struck by a whip automatically makes summoned minions focus on it, so there really isn't much of a purpose for that anymore

**Introduce an Anti-"Cheese" Mechanism on Multiplayer for Calamitas and Supreme Calamitas, Specifically the Bullet Hell**

Currently Calamitas and SCal are very easy to "cheese" in multiplayer. This is due to how they focus on one player during their fight. This would normally not be an issue, however it becomes and issues when you get to their bullet hells.

With one player, the bullet hell covers them forcing them to dodge the attacks, however with more than one player, the boss entirely ignores everyone else besides the player that has agro. This allows the player with agro to fly away from the players without agro during the bullet hell phase, taking Calamitas/SCal with them. This means that for the entire duration of the bullet hell, only one player has to dodge. The thoughts of SCal having a box may come to mind, however there are plenty of ways to escape this box.

For Calamitas, I suggest making the bullet hell's vicinity much larger, something like 500 blocks in every direction so that it cannot be escaped. This would obviously require the acceleration of the projectiles to be decreased so you don't get hit by a super accelerated bullet from across the map. Another alternative would be something similar to the Providence burn aura but to a lesser degree so it is like a suggestion more than and order to the player.

For SCal, I suggest making her agro go to the player(s) that are in her arena and ignoring any player that is outside of it. If a player is outside of the arena, they get a debuff like the Providence burn aura but also an effect that makes them do only 1 damage per hit no matter the weapon.

This seems more like an oversight, but Terraspark Boots which is crafted from Lava Waders do not inherit the On-Fire immunity that Lava Waders has, and later Angel Treads do have it.

While it can be argued that it is for balanced reason, since Terraspark Boots will make some boss debuff irrelevant (like WoF, Retinazer, Skeletron Prime), Obsidian Skin Potion, and Obsidian/Ankh Shield still grants On Fire Immunity anyway, so this is basically just an inconvenience more than balancing reasons. Considering Terraspark Boots have lengthy crafting recipe and relatively time consume to craft regardless of its ingredients are craftable, I think it is fine for it to have On-Fire Immunity.

More boot upgrades during hardmore

I think it goes without saying that boots are practically necessary, with how much utility it combines.
From the moment you get hermes boots, you're constantly upgrading them, strapping on more and more utility and mobility until you get Terraspark mid to end pre-hardmode.
Then you enter hardmode, and after the three mechanical bosses you can make angel treads.
Then... nothing, until post moonlord, where you get seraph tracers.

I think the boots could really do with some more love in hardmode.
First and foremost, I think especially in higher difficulties where bosses may act as a brick wall of progression, having a few more steps throughout hardmode would go a long way to making the experience more enjoyable. Something like adding Spectre or Steampunk Wings to boots before seraph tracers. Allowing for the combination of wing + boot a little sooner, pre-moonlord.

That said, I think there are quite a few accessories that also have a place in the Boot Experience™️ but have been left in the dust. For example, Aero Stone, Gravistar Sabatons, Fairy Boots, maybe even Magiluminescence.
Accessories like these wouldn't feel out of place in the boots at all, nor do I think they would dominate the boots progression too much to make it feel like a "catch-all", and at the very least I think they're worth considering and thinking through.

To summarise, I think it would be nice if the boots had a few steps between Angel Treads -> Seraph Tracers, and I hope you agree <3

**Fix Brain of Cthulhu’s Telefragging**

BoC has been a major source of ire for the Calamity community and most of the problems with it stem from its ability to teleport. BoC is unique as it is the only boss who’s ability to teleport is an active part of the fight. Bosses like Duke and Yharon use it as a means of repositioning for attacks, but a majority of BoC’s fight is trying to guess where it teleports. I can’t think of a single other fight in the game that is this RNG dependent.

BoC is also the only boss in the game with no telegraph for its teleport. Bosses like Skeletron and Devourer of Gods who teleport during attacks have blatant, glowing telegraphs, but BoC just phases in. Usually with active hitboxes before the player has time to react.

This has been accepted as part of the fight but makes no sense if one looks ahead in progression. Ceaseless Void is (was previously?) heavily inspired by BoC, yet not once does CV teleport. Furthermore, the more BoC-inspired aspects of the fight were removed recently for being poorly designed. Implementing removed ideas earlier in progression when the player has less movement options and with teleports feels like bad design.

One solution to this is increasing the perimeter BoC can appear around the player. This would help with telefragging but leaves the fight a bit RNG-y and worsens the situation with creepers; with the right bad teleports as BoC’s health gets low and it increases its teleporting, it can give ridiculous curves and velocity to Creeper's movement. Another fix could be to remove the contact damage on Phase 1 and early Phase 2; BoC only really needs its contact damage when charging, as it's when the player should be getting hit by it.

Or just rework it to be more like CV. Calamity has bosses with similar patterns and the two clearly have parallels, so simply using ideas from a fairer fight could give BoC a much needed glow up compared to Vanilla (which is where most of the problems came from).

Simple QoL toggle, while in a boss fight you definitely want to hear if you have either bar, it's not really as necessary outside of combat to have an audio cue that you have rage up.

Currently the only way to disable hearing them is to reduce SFX volume entirely, which I think is a bit egregious.

**reduce the amount of gravestones needed for a graveyard biome**

In vanilla, a graveyard biome is created when there are 5+ gravestones in a 170x125 tile area. Calamity increases the amount of gravestones needed from 5 to 20. This is way too many.

I don’t understand why this change was made to begin with, as graveyards are barely an issue. They only spawn zombies and ghosts, which are not a threat at any point in progression past the first few days. If one doesn’t like graveyards because they are ugly, then chances are this player will be destroying their gravestones anyways, graveyard biome or not.

Not only does this change serve basically no purpose, but it has multiple issues. For starters, it massively screws over builders. It will be much more challenging to create a graveyard-themed build now that you are required to squeeze 20 gravestones into it rather than 5. It is also more tedious to set up a graveyard biome now, which plenty of players will want to do because a variety of useful items are locked behind graveyards. If you don’t have any gravestones saved up for a graveyard, you will need to die 20 times, which is extremely tedious. Furthermore, this change has confused a lot of players. Just search for recent messages with the word “graveyard” in this server, and you will find most of them are players asking why they cannot set up graveyards.

Increasing the amount of gravestones needed for a graveyard was a bad idea. This number should be reduced, either back to 5 or somewhere in between.

**Make Light Disc reforge-able and non-stackable**

Light Disc previously utilized stacking as an archaic “2011 Terraria” way to allow the player to continuously throw even while the initial disc was still airborne, and most likely on its lengthy return which often would lead earlier boomerangs or a single Light Disc risky to miss. This allowed Light Discs to be more reliable in a full stack at the expense of losing its ability to be reforged.

Now that Vanilla terraria 1.4 and additionally, Calamity Mod, have increased the velocity of most boomerangs, with Light Disc now moving lightning fast, missing is much less punishing. However, Light Disc is now so fast that often the first boomerang will return before you have even thrown a second. Therefore, getting a stack of 3 or more, or maybe even 2 is pointless.

If Light discs are to keep their quintuple stacking feature useful, either Light Discs’ range/ rate of fire needs to be increased, and/or their velocity needs to be lowered. But a simpler fix would be to remove the stacking mechanic of Light Discs and allow them to be reforged like most weapons. If the gimmick of stacking boomerangs is desired, there would still be Bananarangs, which are much lower velocity, and their stacking mechanic is much more important. Bananarangs are also obtained in a way that makes stacking understandable, they are dropped from an enemy that allows the weapon to slowly become stronger as you kill and gain more, instead of being immediately and unfulfillingly crafted in a full stack like Light Discs. The recipe of Light discs could optionally/additionally be changed to be slightly more expensive, equal to 2-5 light discs or so.

Arcane accessories are, frankly, pretty useless. Most of the time you'd prefer menacing or warding, even if you're relying heavily on your mana. If they scaled with progression similarly to the defense modifiers (like how warding goes up to 8 defense) they'd probably be a lot more useful. Maybe it could be changed to an extra percentage of mana instead, or reduce mana costs, so it scales directly with the permanent mana upgrades? Or just have it work the same as defense modifiers where defeating certain bosses upgrades them.

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

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

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

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

In order to counteract this and open up the possibility of debuffs and debuff oriented weapons getting more focus, flasks could have a weaker version of the original debuff they intend to inflict. This would allow them to have some version of easy debuff application, without making the original debuff oriented weapons completely purposeless.

Make the Soul of Cryogen quieter

As it stands now, the Soul of Cryogen is a good and useful wing item at the stage you get it. I find myself holding onto it for a while for the free damage boost and projectiles it spawns.
However, anyone who's used it (or perhaps refused to for this very reason) will know that it is REALLY annoying. Every moment you're in the air, flying or gliding, an icy projectile comes out and makes a loud noise when it hits the ground or an enemy. These are good projectiles, but the noise they make is ungodly and obnoxious.

It wouldn't be so bad if it only makes the noise when it hits enemies, so my suggestion is one of the following-

• Remove/Reduce the sound of the cryogen's projectiles so it's not so obnoxious and deterring (especially in multiplayer)
• Make the cryogen projectile only produce sound if it hits an enemy

Give the Tavernkeeper Armors the same "Minion damage nerf is reduced while holding x weapons"

The 50% damage penalty for summons is pretty big, and I like that balance mechanic.
However, some equippables have exceptions to it, which I think plays really nicely into allowing some hybrid builds throughout a run.
I think that the tavernkeep armors (Squire, Apprentice, Huntress, Monk, Valhalla Knight, Dark Artist, Red Riding, Shinobi Infiltrator) should also be granted this exception.
Each of them supports non-minion weaponry, and also give minion damage buffs at the same time. Supporting both Summoner and Non-Summoner playstyles.
I think it would be reasonable to give each of them the ability to wield their respective weapons without a minion damage penalty, encouraging more creative builds at their respective stages.
Otherwise, the sentries they're quite literally created to support do half the damage when you use the class's other weapon of choice.
I.e. the Apprentice using their associated flameburst turret, which they have a set bonus for, when they pull out a magic weapon (which they also have bonuses for) they get penalised for it.
These armor sets are intended to allow you to use their respective sentries alongside their associated weapon type.

During Black Hole Phase, as an anti-cheese mechanic Ceaseless Void will reposition if the player attempt to run away from CV, but this range can be very not obvious and sometimes the player can accidently cause CV to reposition, making the attack much harder.

This suggestion is so that a clearer "out of range" indicator is given to CV during Black Hole phase so that they have a clearer idea of how much range they can work with while dodging the attack. An idea can be something like an aura or darkness effect for outside the range (as in, the area that is out of range are darkened).

**Buff the Amphibian Boots**

Currently the Amphibian Boots completely fall out of progression in the Calamity Mod. In Vanilla, as the highest upgrade for Specter Boots was Terraspark Boots, the Amphibian Boots still had usefulness in their own little niche pocket of the game. However, in the Calamity Mod, due to the excessive amount of upgrades to the Specter boots, with them eventually being crafted into the endgame wings, the Amphibian Boots completely lost all attraction that there could be to crafting them as they have little to no value in the progression of the run. This is somewhat of an issue as it locks the player into using specter boots and its upgrades instead of giving you options.

I suggest buffing the Amphibian Boots by having them be crafted at an anvil instead of a Tinkerer's Workshop so that they are pre-boss and can be made without fighting the goblin invasion. Additionally, they should give increased water mobility and decreased breath loss (not completely negated). This effect would be applied to Sailfish Boots as well, which fits thematically. This change would increase their usefulness as it makes early game world exploration more convenient as well as events like acid rain easier.

She also doesn't seem to aim exactly at the player she's aggroed on, so the point of convergence where the player has to dodge to is already away from the player's original position at the start of the attack, especially if the player is already moving (because of this, in multiplayer she sometimes seemingly isn't targeting anyone when shooting the rays and the rays appear right next to players and are unreactable). I don't really see why she's able to move during this attack if she's unable to move during her cocoon bullet hell attacks, besides the literal "cocoon" concept.
