swift wadi
#

Possibly, but please read the don'ts doc and write a sugg that follows the rules

frail mantle
#

^

hollow shell
#

You ought to try again, with taking all the rules into account
(and giving a better reason than "I like reference")

swift wadi
#

Maybe then you can make a sugg that can pass the posting phase, and even, maybe, get added to the game

graceful wagon
#

but i read some suggestions above

frail mantle
#

reading the don'ts is the first key to sugg success

graceful wagon
#

they don't have better reasoning

swift wadi
#

From posting?

#

Those havent been sent

#

For a reason

hollow shell
graceful wagon
#

ye

frail mantle
#

(the second is remembering that suggestions should be things more people than just you want)

hollow shell
#

Most suggestions only consist of one line, the one at the top
and everything below is all reasoning

graceful wagon
#

i have seen at least one more person above that agrees with me

civic pond
#

The one line should be able to explain the main gist of the sug

cobalt rose
hollow shell
#

Agreeing doesn't really matter, s'a matter of whether it follows the rules

frail mantle
#

the main idea of the sugg isn't really too important, what really matters is the reasoning

graceful wagon
#

we can do it

swift wadi
#

Yeah you broke like 5 rules in that sugg lmao

#

Including SIS in a way, which is impressive

ashen warren
#

don't encourage him tbh, breaking the rules still brings the ire of mods regardless GloriaHueh

gray nebula
#

ok alright ok :

Rework the determination breaker into an actually useful item

Currently, the determination breaker is incredibly useless : It takes up an accessory slot, only serves as a weird challenge item that's only obtained after defeating skeletron compared to the others being accessible at any time, and the challenge it provides is incredibly niche, and the way it works doesnt feel like the sans fight , which it references. I have yet to see anyone use this item.

My proposed rework would be to keep the immunity frames removal, but to also make all damage taken tick down over time, just like how the karmic retribution works in the sans fight (Maybe based on percentage, so you can only loose x% of your max HP per second). This would turn it into an accessory that is actually useable, and that is a better sans reference instead of a challenge that ends up not really feeling like the sans fight because of the lack of the ticking health to counteract the iframe removal.

#

discuss sadsitsmol

ashen warren
#

so instead of an undertale ref it's now a ror2 ref HDFailure

gray nebula
#

wtf sadcat

frail mantle
#

the challenge itself is related to funnyy bone man though

hollow shell
#

The second half seems a lil specific

#

At least the healing bit

gray nebula
#

i can remove it

civic pond
#

it still confuses me as an item

hollow shell
#

If you could add a bit more reasoning into your rework idea it could work

gray nebula
#

i just wanted to provide an example for the downside

frail mantle
#

it vibe checking i-frames is because Sans' attacks ignores i-frames

civic pond
#

its still seems like a specific challenge hh

#

it basically looks like arma to me

ashen warren
#

like defiled and armageddon

civic pond
#

except not ech

#

does det breaker give any rewards though

swift wadi
#

No afaik

queen sail
#

Det breaker is literally just beta arma

#

Except now useless bc arma exists

gray nebula
#

fixed the thing wegud

queen sail
#

Iirc it existed during like

ashen warren
#

i mean, scal lore also exists

queen sail
#

Before PtD/C existed

#

Yes but do you have 6 inventory slots

ashen warren
#

that's my point

civic pond
#

Does this imply a cal lore rework too br

hollow shell
#

Well I mean...
Current way Sans fight works is via i-frame removal
In Undertale you normally do have i-frames

ashen warren
#

no, doge completefailure

gray nebula
#

yeah but theres also karma

civic pond
#

okey

gray nebula
#

so that's why i proposed to keep the iframe removal

#

100% accurat

hollow shell
#

Well I'm bothered a lil cuz you say current's function is "not even related to sans"

viral ferry
#

Glad my suggestion made it to 50 votes. Didn't earn the checkmark but ok.

gray nebula
#

i can edit

hollow shell
#

better should

queen sail
#

Do we uh

#

Still have anti butcher

hollow shell
#

uhhh good question

gray nebula
#

edited it once again

hollow shell
#

well I mean you still say it in the first paragraph

gray nebula
#

wops

#

here

#

while it actually referneces it, it doesnt feel like itwegu

hollow shell
#

Aight that's better

#

and yes Kirby several bosses still have anti-butcher
In fact we consolidated em into a universal function at some point (I assume that was Ozza's doing)

gray nebula
#

can i post my sugg now,,

hollow shell
#

I think so

swift wadi
#

Oh yeah, I wanted to write a sugg about anti-butcher

#

Why is there anti-butcher

#

It's a single player game, if someone wants to use a cheat to kill a boss why can't they ech

hollow shell
#

For DoG it's thematic reasons
Yharon and SCal, maybe

civic pond
#

i found it weird anti-butcher was only on some bosses br

swift wadi
#

Wym thematic reasons

lost agate
#

Its more a reference than thematics

swift wadi
#

You can also just like, cheat in nanoblack reaper or scarlet devil

ashen warren
#

yharon being the current final boss, and scal being a superboss completefailure

swift wadi
#

boom boss is dead

hollow shell
#

Cuz yknow he has a custom message to accompany it, which is a reference to Fallout 1's final boss doing & saying the same thing

civic pond
#

Having anti butcher would make sense for superbosses I guess

swift wadi
#

But why

#

It's just a pain for people who, for one reason or another, want the boss dead

#

If they want to cheat to kill a boss, they will find a way to do it, that's guaranteed

hollow shell
#

Wanting people to go through the effort of beating the boss, instead of giving up and reaping the rewards anyway

swift wadi
#

But if they have a butcher, they probably have cheat sheet, and then can grab endgame gear

#

Or use godmode

ashen warren
#

then we're balancing around other mods completefailure

hollow shell
#

You're right, we should disable Godmode during endgame bosses HDfailure

gray nebula
#

edgy boss cant be as edgy if you can simply just instakill it

lost agate
#

Whats with the cat emotes

hollow shell
#

I blame Iban

swift wadi
#

Iban got me hooked

frail mantle
lost agate
civic pond
#

check for cheatsheet

#

bruhjaja

ashen warren
#

then that kinda cucks people who use it for reasons other than godmode/cheating peepoShrug

swift wadi
#

then we're balancing around other mods :completefailure:
But you already are, by adding an antibutcher, because calamity doesn't add a butcher

lost agate
#

There is one

swift wadi
#

what when where and what is it

ashen warren
#

it's early hm

lost agate
#

The butcher

ashen warren
#

literally a gun called the butcher yeah

hollow shell
#

.... wow

lost agate
swift wadi
#

Oh my fucking god

civic pond
#

i mean if you have a butcher function implying you can cheat it items, I guess it doesn't matter if they have anti-butcher or not also god damnit

swift wadi
#

Exactly

civic pond
#

so uh

swift wadi
#

Just use godmode, or get scarlet devil

civic pond
#

leave anti-butchers alone? wegud

swift wadi
#

Or install another OP mod and make yourself god

hollow shell
#

Also cool Skoores edited his sugg's mainline
Do we think it's good now?

lost agate
#

Oh

civic pond
#

I think its good

lost agate
#

Lemme check

swift wadi
#

I like it

lost agate
#

Yeah looks good to me

#

So plop

ashen warren
#

anyhow the last time this discussion came up the concensus was not to touch the antibutchers due to it needing actual absurd levels of dps that's difficult to hit even with dev/endgame gear, hence for the most part, it not being a problem for anyone who does not want to kill a boss in half a second

lost agate
#

Uuh

hollow shell
#

well I mean

#

would that not be an argument to get rid of em cuz they're useless?

queen sail
#

Cheat Sheet

lost agate
#

Bot plz?

queen sail
ashen warren
#

yes and no

hollow shell
#

Ah shit do we have another line break fuckery

civic pond
#

pensive

swift wadi
#

What, but, what. Yes they don't get into the way of normal players but we're talking about the people who do want to instakill the boss

#

Did i read that wrong? I don't get it

ashen warren
#

yes because useless, no because people will go back to shoving things in people's faces and aggravate everyone else peepoHappy

swift wadi
#

What how

#

People will do that regardless

#

The main point of my argument is you could just put on godmode

ashen warren
#

that's why i'm saying it's kinda pointless to throw more fuel on that fire, and if you're gonna put on godmode why not just cheat in the drops at that point

hollow shell
#

well then why keep the antibutchers?

#

They don't
do anything

swift wadi
#

"and if you're gonna put on godmode why not just cheat in the drops at that point"

#

What

#

If you're trying to butcher them you could also just

lost agate
#

Also can we please not go agressive on this

hollow shell
#

Point is I think this would be a valid suggestion

swift wadi
#

The drops aren't the problem, it's people who want the flag that says "SCal is dead" to be activated

lost agate
#

It is a valid sugg

hollow shell
#

It wouldn't break rules with its existence

ashen warren
#

i agree that it would be valid, i just don't think it'd get anywhere for the aforementioned reasons peepoShrug

lost agate
#

Worth a shot anyway

hollow shell
#

Just gotta make sure whoever posts the sugg has a lot of good reasons to convince the devs with

civic pond
#

also uh

#

is ibans sug good

swift wadi
#

Which would be me I suppose

#

Yea

civic pond
#

oh alr

hollow shell
#

Also Amber is Skoores' sugg doing that weird thing that other guy's sugg was doing the other day?

swift wadi
#

imo at least

hollow shell
#

With the line breaks

civic pond
#

is the bot not working or am i not seeing something right

swift wadi
#

its not

#

Well, idk if it's "not working" but smth went wrong it seems

ashen warren
#

uh i'll check console

#

nada, try again in 20 seconds

hollow shell
#

aight

swift wadi
#

@lost agate Also yea apologies, I might have worded things a but aggressively, wasn't what I was trying to do I was just confused

hollow shell
#

Aight cool thanks Amber

ashen warren
#

np

hollow shell
#

Now, Iban's sugg

swift wadi
#

Thank you Amber

hollow shell
#

anybody got any feedback before it gets approved?

lost agate
#

Yeah, you really need to keep your chill

swift wadi
#

Lemme re-read

#

Unless I can nitpick the comma that's floating in the air, it looks fine

queen sail
#

Wait

gray nebula
#

,,,;,:,

queen sail
#

I mean

#

Ig ravager premech would mean faster speedruns

hollow shell
#

(Technically it already is pre-Mech iirc)

ashen warren
#

craft a temple key then kill bohldors

crude geode
#

~~I leave for like 10 minutes and both funny sans sugg happens from the creator of "Nerf Yharhar I can't beat him", and a argument about cheating/anti-butcher. ~~
I think Iban's suggestion works.

hollow shell
#

Temple Key recipe only requires early-HM materials, and Bohldohrs always drop Temple Brick and Solar Tablet Fragments

civic pond
#

there's also other ways to get into the temple lole

crude geode
#

^

hollow shell
#

they dont count

civic pond
#

i see

hollow shell
latent agate
#

Wait does that mean you can fight ravager prehm

hollow shell
#

uhhh

queen sail
#

Yes but consider

#

Would you survive

hollow shell
#

nnno, Bohldohrs only spawn in Hardmode iirc?

#

Actually no they can spawn anytime

#

so, maybe

civic pond
hollow shell
#

That'd be a sick strategy
get Hydrothermic gear in pre-HM

#

I'd like to see that

unkempt bolt
#

dont you need a picksaw or smth for scoria

hollow shell
#

Normally you do

swift wadi
#

DoG, Yharon and SCal are the only 3 bosses with antibutchers right?

crude geode
#

Ravager dropping the bars you need

hollow shell
#

but not when you kill Rav

lost agate
#

Yes

unkempt bolt
#

oh right yeah

hollow shell
#

and yes those are the only bosses

gray nebula
#

dont you need a mythril anvil to craft it tho

unkempt bolt
#

i forgot scoria isn't locked behind rav

crude geode
#

Just thought about that ye iban

#

wtf is this convo

gray nebula
#

no sequence break

hollow shell
#

oh fuck you're right

#

damn

#

I guess early-HM is indeed the earliest then

crude geode
#

~~inb4 a sugg to craft hydro at normal anvil HDfailure ~~

gray nebula
#

muh speedrun viablilt,,

latent agate
#

I wanna do a ravager prehm attempt now

crude geode
#

I mean, you still can get the weapons from him

latent agate
#

So yeah, it is a worthy endeavour

subtle oracle
#

Detirmination Breaker is literally just a way to add an extra layer of challenge to your run, and you can use it at your own will... I agree with this sugg

#

Also, what sans fight? The terratale mod?

crude geode
#

Question: Does anyone else think it's weird that Draedon's heart was moved to just using cosmilite and phanto to craft it? Instead of needing his forge?

gray nebula
#

no like the sans undertale fight from undertale

subtle oracle
#

god

#

god

#

Undertale and Terraria differ greatly in Engine terms, but whatevs.. I guess you can compare it to that

gray nebula
subtle oracle
gray nebula
#

no but like im just saying that the challenge is supposed to be reminescent of sans' fight

crude geode
#

^

gray nebula
#

by removing immunity frames

#

however it's only one part of the sans fight

subtle oracle
#

Remininecnt, the Karma Effect that Sans hits you with?

gray nebula
#

yes

subtle oracle
#

oh that... I see

swift wadi
#

Oh my formatting got fucked

#

Hold on I need to fix that, wtf discord

subtle oracle
#

Isn't that the point? A formidable boss like Scal getting easily killed with a butchering effect, sad

#

Scal should still keep anti-butcher imo

#

(You can always use God mode too)

swift wadi
#

The end was from an old draft, dont know why it was still there

atomic badger
#

as you said,you can just cheat in end game weapons and enable god mode,which with all of these bosses will make it last like a minute long

crude geode
#

That's literally a point the suggestion brought up Krastyan

civic pond
#

text files

crude geode
#

The point of the suggestion is that disabling the butcher mod doesn't prevent the cheating, it just prolongs it for about 30 seconds or less.

civic pond
#

honestly you could just

swift wadi
#

It's a hassle though, Yharon and DoG have phase transitions, SCal's fight is always at least 1:15 long

civic pond
#

put it into a google doc

gray nebula
#

boss suggestion + text file

swift wadi
#

Because all the bullet hells take 15 seconds

civic pond
#

i didn't even read boss sugg

crude geode
#

same

civic pond
north path
#

I read call of cthulhu and decided to go balls out dont bully me

swift wadi
#

@north path Boss suggestions aren't allowed

north path
#

fuck fuck fuck

hollow shell
#

Indeed, they aren't allowed

north path
#

there goes 20 minutes

hollow shell
#

mmm should've read the rules

crude geode
#

^^^^^

void kelp
#

you could’ve saved yourself the time w a read

north path
#

Every time i go on this server i fuck something up lollll

void kelp
#

dw abt it everyone makes mistakes

north path
#

im not big smart okay

hollow shell
#

s'fine

civic pond
#

yep

gray nebula
#

god it's also a specfic item sugg

civic pond
#

just be sure to reread rules and such

crude geode
#

^

civic pond
#

wait you downloaded it br

#

i was too slow

lost agate
#

Looks like the antibutcher sugg came out well

crude geode
#

It's best to reread the rules every time before you post a suggestion

civic pond
#

so is it good to go?

north path
#

wait you unironically downloaded my terraria calamity fanfic essay?

gray nebula
#

yeah

lost agate
#

time for 10th approved?

gray nebula
#

i wanted to read it lol

north path
#

lol

hollow shell
#

It is quite the wall of text

gray nebula
#

i wanted to see if you didnt suggest anything we didnt have planned yet

north path
#

i was 4.7k characters over limit

void kelp
#

ooh fanfic essays, we have tons of those on lore disc hellyes

civic pond
#

also if you find a sugg being too long

#

use google docs or something instead

#

e

gray nebula
#

well it's a fanfic essay because its like super specific

north path
#

im not a very graceful writer so i cant shorten stuff well

void kelp
#

writing is a skill, it takes time

crude geode

Writing does take time and practice. As someone whose goal is to be a professional writer, my writing was hot garbage when I started.
byeah. approve the butcher sugg shucks, be the true gamer

north path
#

i agree. too many times ive tried to do loadout testing before crafting large crafting trees and was stopped by an anti butcher plugin

lost agate
#

So i can approve antibutcher sugg then?

void kelp
#

aye

crude geode
#

Ye

lost agate
#

It is time

civic pond
#

very poggers

lost agate
#

Im probably here too often

civic pond
#

perhaps

void kelp
#

nah I lurk here a lot too

crude geode
#

eh, it's probably good that someone's here

hollow shell
#

aight so is Iban's all good?

crude geode
#

I think so, ye

void kelp
#

check!

hollow shell
#

Nice

gray nebula
#

wont even be able to ding dong ditch

#

whats the point

hollow shell
void kelp
#

the person who posted the death mode lighting one never responded to a ping

civic pond
#

wegud kill

hollow shell
#

@ashen warren You got pinged in this channel earlier, go check it out

radiant meadow
#

all damage taken tick down over time
What does this mean?

hollow shell
#

(They basically said you can just disable Death if you don't wanna deal with that)

#

All damage would be replaced with equivalent DoTs

#

if you got hit for something that would normally deal 400 damage
instead your health would start to drain, and then stop once it has drained away 400 health

radiant meadow
#

that sounds kinda eww to code

hollow shell
#

It do sound kinda pain to code

#

but

#

it would be a pretty useful utility

#

for the same reason it is in Earthbound and Mother 3

crude geode
#

Wait I just now realized that mechanic is kinda just stolen from the Mother series wtf.

hollow shell
#

save yourself before your mortal damage ticks all the way down

crude geode
#

ye

#

I don't know how I didn't make the connection

radiant meadow
#

but can I save my sanity?

hollow shell
#

Ask someone else do to it HDfailure

radiant meadow
#

people always point to that as an excuse

crude geode
#

...that suggestion makes me feel a bit of pain on the inside.

hollow shell
#

Seems kinda reasonable to me

civic pond
#

this just confuses me a bit

#

I don't really see any problems with it though

crude geode
#

same

radiant meadow
#

that means astral solution will also change the ores

#

and star struck water

hollow shell
#

It would make Astral Ore less valuable
but I mean
it's still locked post-Deus

radiant meadow
#

and you probably won't be able to revert it

hollow shell
#

Does Green Solution not revert it?

crude geode
#

yeah, cuz coding nightmare.

radiant meadow
#

what would it revert to?

crude geode
#

Trying to store what ore it was originally would be ech

hollow shell
#

m true I spose

radiant meadow
#

you can't store the previous ore type

crude geode
#

at least I think

hollow shell
#

Randomly pick any one of the six ores HDfailure

#

wait

#

eight

crude geode
#

What about hm ores

radiant meadow
#

astral infection is generated before altar smashing

hollow shell
#

Those wouldn't get converted cuz Infection lands right once WoF dies

#

yeah

crude geode
#

ye, fair.

#

This suggestion feels kinda weird to me? I guess it's just cuz astral infection doesn't spread normally

hollow shell
#

Well what does that have to do with it?

#

He doesn't mention spreading

civic pond
#

i think thats more of a lore thing

#

its ability to infect everything

#

h

dapper thicket
#

fixed it

radiant meadow
#

I think the suggestion is alright, but I'm not a fan of it due to the transformation implications and the devaluing of astral ore.

civic pond
#

i mean there's no problems with it ye, but i just dont see it as uh

#

useful?

crude geode
#

Yeah, I guess so, I'm just being weird rn

dapper thicket
#

I'll be honest its mostly an athstetic thing

civic pond
#

Yeah I can see why normal ores would look out of place

hollow shell
#

You could mention something like
almost every other block gets converted, but all the ores remain untouched

#

to emphasize your last point.

#

Nice

crude geode
#

I think it's valid, and alright to go to voting.

civic pond
#

si

hollow shell
#

We think it's aight in terms of validity/completion?

wooden wedge
#

yes

crude geode
subtle oracle
#

Wait, why would this be neccesary? Some of the Pre-Hard mode ores are pretty important and still have use, even in H mode

wooden wedge
#

I mean

hollow shell
#

well you still have an entire rest of the world

wooden wedge
#

the rest of the world exists yeah

latent agate
#

Like iron/lead

subtle oracle
#

Iron/lead, gold/plat

crude geode
#

The astral infection only hits about. 1/10th of the world tbh.

wooden wedge
#

they're talking about only the infection

hollow shell
#

he doesn't mean converting the whole map's store of ores into Astral Ore, lol

wooden wedge
#

which is tiny compared to everything else

civic pond
#

yeah its not that large

subtle oracle
#

1/10th, so the underground astral infection's pre H mode ores will be affected

hollow shell
#

yeah

subtle oracle
#

That makes more sense, now the sugg is valid imo

hollow shell
#

alright, seems like agreement then

#

@ashen warren That's a Don't

gray nebula
#

litterally just disable deathmode FeelsMeowMan

hollow shell
ashen warren
#

Oh sorry, I couldn't view the doc

#

I'll delete it

hollow shell
#

Thank you

ashen warren
#

But yeah it's still annoying -w- Legit I had to go back down to rev

#

Cuz I didn't find a mushroom biome with my two shine potions from the starter bag

hollow shell
#

You can also equip the Mining Helmet, Shadow Orb, Giant Pearl, and/or place down Campfires to light it up more

ashen warren
#

Yeah I know the lighting mechanics

hollow shell
#

aight

#

just wanted to make sure

ashen warren
#

But early game I don't have that supply of cash, torches or gel

#

8 minutes to find a mushroom biome in dmode when you first get into a cave is.. Ouch.

#

You die once and half of your time is lost

hollow shell
#

m, it is indeed difficult

#

Gotta stock up on stuff on the surface

crude geode
#

Question: Does anyone else think it's weird that Draedon's heart was moved to just using cosmilite and phanto to craft it? Instead of needing their forge?

hollow shell
#

I mean
That just makes it a post-DoG pre-Moon Events item

#

There's a good amount of those

crude geode
#

True, but the effect is kind of. underwhelming compared to other similar accessories?

hollow shell
#

and by good I mean there's like
a few

ashen warren
#

Even when you do get armor and stuff from the surface you're not lasting long with 100 hp

#

So yeeesh

hollow shell
#

indeed it is Death Mode

crude geode
#

yep

ashen warren
#

Yeah. The base thing is a pure annoyance though

crude geode
#

I personally think that it needs a buff because, compared to even post-ml accessories, you're not going to really use it too much because of the fact that most of it's benefits are built around adrenaline and rage, which isn't really something you get to use in the moon events.

ashen warren
#

Being locked from doing underground bases is bleeeeh as all heck. Do I really have to be rejected from doing a base in lower depths or locked from doing a mode? That's the real annoying part

#

Takes away from base freedom of Terraria

hollow shell
#

well I mean

crude geode
#

that's kind of the point of death mode.

void kelp
#

what if pots like night owl mitigate the darkening effect a bit more substantially?

hollow shell
#

Unless you're building it near hell it won't be that dark

crude geode
#

also what Rover said.

ashen warren
#

Building it right as the cavern layer starts

hollow shell
#

And it's not like the base is unusable either

#

It's just like
a little bit darker

ashen warren
#

Just to see how it is in deathmode

hollow shell
#

it doesn't directly affect difficulty

ashen warren
#

But its a loooot darker

#

stuff like torches also helps with brightening it up iirc

radiant meadow
#

have you placed camp fires and stuff?

#

campfires should boost light level by 1

ashen warren
#

Praying the merchant comes with ultrabrights rn :/

#

Since they provide more light level than a regular torch

#

Maybe it would be possible to make it so the regular merchant sells these in deathmode?

iirc torches don't boost light level at all, but they do provide light to counteract the darkness

ashen warren
#

Ultrabrights do, I've tested it

#

Ultrabrights do, I've tested it

radiant meadow
#

Light level is a stat btw.

ashen warren
#

Yeah it goes off all light level boosting sources

#

Shine pots, night owl, light pets, campfires, ultrabright torches all add to it as far as I have figured out

radiant meadow
#

I could've sworn no torches boost light level

#

but

#

adding it to the merchant should be fine

#

why is Discord

#

I could've sworn no torches boost light level

#

shine pots and campfires boost light level

#

as do light pets

hollow shell
#

Torches don't boost light level
They literally just
are torches, they emit light

ashen warren
#

Night owl does as well

radiant meadow
#

night owl and darkness affect the same internal stat

ashen warren
#

Huh, then why did the ultrabrights make everything much brighter than regular torches?

hollow shell
#

And because the light level system reduces darkness in the same way that the Darkness/Blackout debuffs and Night Owl buffs do

they affect it, even if not affecting the light level stat directly

#

I don't know.

radiant meadow
#

deathmode torches wouldn't be a bad idea though I think

hollow shell
#

@clever widget You need a reason

ashen warren
#

If anything ultrabright torches should bump light level, since their ultrabright.

hollow shell
#

They already are torches

ashen warren
#

Even if it's by +1

hollow shell
#

They emit light

wooden wedge
#

they do that in vanilla though

hollow shell
#

If you place down a fuckload of em, your base will be brighter, because it's covered in torches

wooden wedge
#

they don't emit a larger range

#

but have a higher light level

ashen warren
#

I'll double check my world that used ultrabright for an arena, the area was bright af even in dm

wooden wedge
#

pretty sure that's how ultrabright torches are

hollow shell
#

If you could post like
comparison screenshots

#

that'd be nice

ashen warren
#

Ye will do, I did note one other thing

wooden wedge
subtle oracle
#

Ultrabright torches, i don't remember if Cal ever buffed them. They seemed kind of useless tbh

ashen warren

Decorative lights ignore the dm affects

Loading onto PC discord to show the thing about decorative light items

hollow shell
#

Yep that looks about right

ashen warren
#

Ah gotcha

radiant meadow
#

I have an idea

ashen warren
#

seemed odd to me that they bypassed it

radiant meadow
#

although it can't be implemented now

#

but maybe when 1.4 tmodloader comes around, darkness can be disabled in towns

#

since that's a thing now

#

although

#

ig we can just check for 2 or more town npcs

hollow shell
#

Or being near Pylons could boost light level by 3

#

or summin

ashen warren
#

yeah that could be the simplest soultion, if two or more town npcs are rpesent in x radius, x radius has no depth lighting effect

sand umbra
#

being near a functional pylon obliterates darkness

crude geode
#

isn't there already a thing where if you have a town hostile spawns are down? Like you can actually get frog spawns in the jungle if you just move some npcs over.

#

God, i am the only one here that doesn't spoil themselves huh smug

#

First time hearing of this pylon feature

hollow shell
#

There's still the one to the lower right but lets assume that's not having an affect on you

radiant meadow
#

it looks the same

hollow shell
#

The light levels are indeed completely the same in both screenshots

radiant meadow
#

other than maybe the fact that ultrabrights are naturally brighter than normal torches

hollow shell
#

You can see the light in the shaft on the left does not change

ashen warren
#

Yeah it might've been that fact and it made me confused

radiant meadow
#

still, I don't think ultratorches being sold would be a bad idea

#

so you could still suggest that

sand umbra
#

aren't they sold to begin with

#

being one of the three (3) torch types to be sold at all

dapper coral
#

by traveling boi

#

the sugg is to get regular merchant to sell them in dm

sand umbra
#

the other two being normal from Merchant and Bone from Skeletron Merchant

radiant meadow
#

traveling merchant is a fuck

dapper coral
#

we don't talk about traveling boi

sand umbra
#

yeah tiger skin is definitely a fuck isn't it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

ashen warren
#

Did some more testing, ultrabrights when stacked with light sources seem much brighter than regular torches

dapper coral
#

when you need tiger skin to make handheld tank HDfailure

sand umbra
#

Handheld Tank is the biggest fuck of them all

radiant meadow
#

make pit bulls drop tiger skins post prov

sand umbra
#

honestly yeah

radiant meadow
#

or any of the skins tbh

#

for consistency

sand umbra
#

make HHGregg Tank actually usable without travelling merchant RNG

void kelp
#

kinda like how celestial magnet can be crafted too ?

ashen warren
#

look how much brighter the UB torch is than the regular one with standard light stacking. (Campfires, night owl and shine.)

#

If I had to guess, it was this situation that made me assume ultrabrights gave +1 lighting

#

@hollow shell any idea why the UB looks so much brighter?

wooden wedge
#

because it is brighter?

hollow shell
#

+1 lighting means that all light sources on your screen get brighter when you're near them

#

Which is what happens with campfires
but this does not happen with ultrabrights

ashen warren
#

Yeah, it's seemingly benefiting from bonus light levels more than regular torches

radiant meadow
#

that's just Terraria code shit ig

ashen warren
#

That's the curious thing

#

Does the suggestion look good?

wooden wedge
#

bold the top part

#

with ** on both sides

radiant meadow
#

the header doesn't need to be bolded

#

as long as it's a separate line

subtle oracle
#

Spacing it out can work as well

#

God, im too slow

wooden wedge
#

spacing it out doesn't matter

#

only if you use it once then it works

subtle oracle
#

one *? for italics

wooden wedge
#

yes

ashen warren

bolding the top part is done automatically anyways, if you use bolding in your header then you cuck yourself out of 4 of your 256 characters CompleteFailure

the sugg bot has a max of 256 characters?

there are some other damage stuff as well i think

my point is: if this was implemented there would be less incentive to play death

because like half of death is the environmental effects

rose latch

that is a fair point i guess

subtle oracle
#

Ita getting renamed soon

wooden wedge
#

@fallow bane you need a header

unreal viper
#

**Make throwing critical strike bonuses benefit rogue. ** Throwing damage boasts benefit rogue, meaning that the devs clearly intended for rogue to benefit from vanilla throwing damage-output increases. However, throwing critical strike chance boosts do not increase rogue crit, which goes against this intention. Because of this, throwing crit increases should be changed to benefit rogue.

foggy plover
#

didnt ozza mention fixing that?

#

or did I misread something

unreal viper
#

Ozza did?

#

Must have missed that.

foggy plover

lemme check

Thanks for that.

you misspelled boosts, meaning, and 2 spaces between damage-output and increases

pretty sure that was a thing he was gonna do already

huh he didnt mention fixing it but he somewhat implied it

@hearty yew were you gonna change that or nah>

@latent agate Thanks for the grammar corrections.

@rose latch wouldn't that config be just... enabling death?

rose latch
#

I wouldn't think so

wooden wedge
#

I mean

#

yes

rose latch
#

Maybe I'll just change it to the temperature effects

void kelp
#

bc like.. the death mode effects are in part, mostly environmental

unreal viper
#

You could turn the modes on and off, but I don't think you should ever have to do that.

void kelp
#

but then, why would the modes be toggleable?

unreal viper
#

I like that they're toggleable so you can turn down the difficulty if needed, but I don't think you should have to turn them on/off just to have/get rid of the environmental effects.

rose latch
#

Whatever

#

I'll probably be playing death mode most of the time anyway

Done. Rogue weapons now benefit from vanilla throwing crit.

sinful steeple
#

I agree. Also spooky armour is honestly bad, it's like sacrificing all of your defence and 1% damage for 1 minion, which is something a summoning potion can do at no cost

#

That is assuming you're using fathom swarmer, which I mean why would you not

cinder spade
#

umbraphile exists

foggy plover
#

tbh I might suggest a fathom swarmer nerf or a hydrothermic summoner buff

#

maybe both

unkempt bolt
#

what is umbraphile an alternative to?

cinder spade
#

rogue armor, post clone/plantera

#

low defense in exchange for high damage

unkempt bolt
#

so like, reaver?

cinder spade
#

guess so

#

you can get it if you kill clone before plantera, unlike reaver

unkempt bolt
#

well just looking at hydrothermic because reaver is kinda ech

cinder spade
#

cool thing about umbraphile is that it's set bonus can inflict daybroken and nightwither

unkempt bolt
#

umbra has 4 less defense than hydro, hydro just seems to have +20 max hp over umbra in the survivability department

cinder spade
#

only 4 less?

#

thought it was lower

unkempt bolt
#

umbra is 36, rogue hydro is 40

#

unless i managed to read the wiki wrong

#

which i seem to have done

#

rogue hydro is 46 i think

#

yeah

#

so 10 defense less, which is still pretty insignificant

#

and then umbra is just offensively better from what im seeing

radiant meadow
#

so what you're saying is that I should shaft umbraphile's defense?

#

I just tried to make it less than reaver armor

#

also

#

isn't brimflame like just post clone?

foggy plover
#

takes ashes of calamity so ye

real steppe
#

I agree with the Alicorn mount one and the glass cannon sets in HM

#

About the Astral Infection one.. I agree with it, but it should only convert the pre hm ores to astral ores when they are within the infection's range

well yeah

#

i think that was the intention

infinite flight on alicorn seems busted ngl, especially since mounts will be enabled for BR next update

dapper coral
#

why is it busted tho, there are plenty of mounts with infinite flight so theyll all be usable in br

#

is it just because of the speed?

indigo fog
#

Mounts that give infinite flight are usually not very fast but the alicorn mount is like super fast

#

It really doesn't need it

ah i see, very interesante

brimflame is post clone yeah but its damage can hold up until post-ML

iirc mollusk gives more damage than both plague reaper and brimflame if you don't count brimflame/plague reaper set bonus buffs

mollusk makes glass cannoning hard because you are slow as molasses

indigo fog
#

the speed decrease is like very easy to get around

unkempt bolt
#

in addition to just being bulky

nimble dock
#

I feel like there should be some sort of upgrade or upgrades to the Architect Gizmo Pack

#

Sure, fishing is made extremely easier later on, making potions a lot easier to get, and even further on, Blood Orbs can be farmed, so you basically don't even need to fish anyways, minus a few exceptions.

#

And yet, even though proper arenas are by far more important than potions, there's really no progression when it comes to said arenas. It just stops once you get the Gizmo Pack.

earnest harness
#

blood orbs suck unless you're post-polterghast tbh

neat citrus
#

I disagree

#

I also disagree that a proper arena is more important than potions

nimble dock
#

It's really not that hard to fight a boss without potions, if you have a good arena and know the pattern.

#

Potions are really only an extra oomph to get you through the boss alive, imo.

neat citrus
#

It's really not that hard to fight a boss without an arena, if you have good potions and know the pattern

nimble dock
#

Not if we're talking a boss like Providence

#

And that's not the only example

neat citrus
#

Stuff like 15% more damage from magic power alone is basically equal to putting some floating platforms over flat ground

#

Imo

nimble dock
#

Either way, it'd be nice for builders to have an upgrade to the Gizmo Pack, which is another reason to add it.

neat citrus
#

Yeah

#

Placing blocks instantly would be nice, as well as really far reach

nimble dock
#

That 15% more damage or even 35% decreased incoming damage isn't really going to help you all that much if you can't really kite the boss.

#

As I mentioned, I think Providence is the best example

unkempt bolt
#

no potion will make up for having a bad arena

#

certainly not in the lategame

nimble dock
#

With many other bosses, your wings can pretty much carry you through a fight

#

With Prov, that's not the case

unkempt bolt
#

prov, yharon, old duke, DoG to an extent

nimble dock
#

A lot of her attacks seem to be more on the horizontal rather than the vertical, making a proper arena almost crucial

unkempt bolt
#

polter and ceaseless void certainly

nimble dock
#

Oh yeah

#

Took me a very decent amount of time to terraform the dungeon, but with Ceaseless Void, terraforming is half the battle.

unkempt bolt
#

without a proper prov arena you'll constantly be bombarded with her large fireballs and her piss puddles

nimble dock
#

Cause now you have to setup walls

#

Maybe an accessory that lets you instantly place blocks or walls in a grid you control with your mouse

#

Something like The Grand Design, but for building.

neat citrus
#

Imo, world-generated ground is not that bad of an arena if you have decent wings. I still make arenas, but i wouldn't put them above a full set of potions

#

Especially for vanilla bosses, minus moon-lord and plantera

sinful steeple
#

Bruh

#

Imagine fighting WoF with potions instead of an arena

neat citrus
#

Oh yeah that too

#

Wof is different though

#

Possible, but not easy

An arena is just better than potions

unkempt bolt

post-ML i'd 100% drop all potions for a good arena

I wouldn't

sinful steeple

You can always fight a boss without potions but rarely without an arena

anyways i don't think he was suggesting a device that removes potions entirely in exchange for easier arena building

pretty sure it was just the arena building part

DoG without an arena would be hell in a handbag

You'd get caught on an anthill and die

Mining gets really fast at some point

sinful steeple
#

You have to place platforms at like -1 mph

Or you fall

nimble dock

ye

#

building, not so much

neat citrus
#

Yeah, i need something that auto places a 2 thick row of actuated blocks with platforms above them

nimble dock
#

Maybe an item that gives you a ton of extra placement speed while in your inventory

#

And you can activate it in some way to go into a sort of grid placement mode

#

So that you can place tiles and walls the old fashioned way, just faster, but also alternatively with an exact grid placement

#

And maybe some way to upgrade the Builder's Potion to give you faster tile placement

#

Guess I'll post that

real steppe
#

Wait, Calcium potions actually don't need bones to craft? I was genuinely surprised by that

#

Good suggestion

earnest harness
#

Just some testing I did, with Zerg potion, water candle, and chaos candle during a blood moon while using tarragon armor, pre-polterghast accessories and an elemental axe with 15 minion slots and constantly chugging ceaseless hunger pots to make sure i caught every drop, i got 286 blood orbs, which is enough to make 5 stimulants, 7 profraned wrath/rage potions, or 7 cadence potions, or more realistcally 2 sets of the above with enough for one extra or 4 more vanilla pots

so you're theoretically looking at maybe 2 boss attempts for 9 minutes of semi-afk farming if you don't use/have the normal materials to make those potions

if this is meant to be an alternative to fishing/farming it's not a particularly amazing one, and if it's supposed to be something that works alongside fishing/farming then it's not great at that seeing as you need to stay in one spot for 9 minutes (and that's assuming you're using summoner or have a summon setup stashed away, otherwise you're going to need to be actively attacking things)

tested again while fishing, similar set up but with a supreme tackle bag, fishing pot, uelibloom rod, 50% bait power bait, got 290 blood orbs from drops (i'm spamming ceaseless hunger potions to make sure i get every orb that drops, which isn't exactly realistic) as well as 40 xerocodiles from fishing, which got 371 more orbs (expect 400 on average from that many) totalling 661 orbs, so i'm going to assume 700 blood orbs for a theoretical average maximum orb ceiling from fishing+killing during a blood moon pre-polterghast (these numbers will probably be much worse at any other stage in the game) (also the world i tested in was pre-boss, completely fresh)

which is 5 sets of stimulants+cadance+holy wrath+profaned rage under what i assume are completely perfect conditions

indigo fog
#

@fading robin

  1. What did you test that DPS on
  2. What gear did you use to kill guardians that fast and did you use rage or adrenaline
  3. I don't think we should move it further in progression because Moon Lord needs a rogue drop
real steppe
#

Assuming that you can indeed kill the Guardians in 2-5 hits with stealth.. I dont know, it's stealth, and you're probably using an all out-offense setup anyway (plus Adrenaline/Rage)

#

But then again, my reasoning is bullshit because I assumed too much.. I'll wait for the answers first then I'll retake

#

Also, expanding out izzy's questions:

  1. In what gamemode had you performed those tests?

I won't be really surprised with that kill speed when in Normal or even Expert, Calamity weapons are wayyy too OP for those modes

onyx river
#

Well there isn't any tag for the other classes so why sould there be for rogue?

indigo fog
#

you could just look at the damage type or tooltip to know if it's rogue specific or not

#

i don't see how this is necessary

hollow idol
#

I was about to say maybe they meant accessories/armor but those also specify rogue ech

ashen warren
#

Thorium's classes also show that specific stats, but they still have tags to specify which class they belong to

tepid root
#

calamity isnt thorium

indigo fog
#

Why do we need to add a tag?

onyx river
#

well that doesn't mean thorium is the right example for everything

indigo fog
#

it shouldn't be because thorium does it

onyx river
#

they serve pretty much no purpose in thorium

#

plus thorium classes are built differently than rogue imo

ashen warren
#

At least it would make more convenience for starters to Calamity, now that Mod Support will be a thing soon

tepid root
#

?

onyx river
#

no

#

everybody can read "rogue damage" in an accessory

#

or anything for that matter

#

the only thing that could be confusing is stealth and one line of dialogue from the guide deals with that

ashen warren
#

Ok, your points are solid, not gonna lie

#

Sure, for most veterans like me and you guys, this is unnecessary

#

But at least it would be a quality if life for everyone, mostly for newcomers anyway.

tepid root
#

i dont see how itd be useful for newcomers

#

just "rogue damage" tells everyone its rogue

ashen warren
#

Not just weapons

#

Also Armor, Accessories and maybe tools

tepid root
#

rogue tools? also armor and accessories usually mention rogue too so h

ashen warren
#

Sure, seeing Rogue damage in weapons will make them understand

#

Let me give an example: Scuttler's Jewel

#

It only says javelins, maybe some people would think normal Javelin and Bone Javelin would count as well as maybe other javelins if they play other mods

onyx river
#

"Rogue javelin":literally the first word

ashen warren
#

Rogue Javelin? Didn't notice Rogue in tooltip, then

#

Blame me for my idiocy

#

Welp, unless a dev sees it and thinks it is purposeless, I won't delete it, I guess

If a dev doesn't see it or ignore it for a long time, I will delete it, then

tepid root
#

itll get deleted on its own after 24 hours

#

anyways

onyx river
#

The thing is calam focuses on being consistent all troughout, including in the way it blends with vanilla content and having to add such az thing for every single armor/wep/acc in the game is way too tedious(not even mentionning multi class ones)

#

tbf it does look nice but it really isn't necessary

ashen warren
#

Well, I agree.

#

If even accepted and added then, maybe devs would add a config to disable it regardless

#

If not accepted, that is still fine, this is not first time my suggestions get mudded

#

By the meaning I refer as mudded, criticized negatively a lot

earnest harness
#

can we talk about blood orbs i feel like blood orbs are some bullshit

quiet abyss
#

First off, no need to spoiler that.
Second, please do elaborate.

earnest harness
#

i wrote up a bunch of stuff before suckerman's suggestion got discussed, pretty much the blood orb droprate is still pretty trash and even the theoretical maximum for the latest point before bloodflare armor doesn't really provide a whole lot of potion crafts

#

which means that even though blood orbs drop constantly from the beginning of the game, they're pretty much useless until at least post-plantera when you get access to zerg/chaos

ashen warren
#

Tbh, if you have Battle Potion and Water Candle during DM Blood Moon, you will get over 500 during the full night

#

From my experiences at DM Summoner run, I had thousands of Blood Orbs

earnest harness
#

i didn't test with death mode, i didn't realize that incrased spawn rates that much, but even then i don't think most people play on death mode

quiet abyss
#

Useless before post plantera? How so?
They can be used to craft any potions in the game, with most requiring only it and a bottled water at alchemy table.
They act like an alternative way to craft potions if you don't have the proper ingredients required to craft them.

earnest harness
#

before plantera you can't make zerg/chaos, if you farm an entire blood moon at that point you aren't going to have enough to make more than one or two decent potions at most

sinful steeple
#

Honestly I prefer to craft potions the normal way so I can craft a bunch

quiet abyss
#

Which...is kinda the point?

#

The regular potions already have fairly easy recipes, with most of the ingredients being easily farmable.

#

Blood orbs ain't meant to replace regular recipes, they're there to be an alternative recipe for every potions.

#

So I don't see all that much harm in it being a fairly scarce resouce before you have access to zerg pot/chaos candle

earnest harness
#

ok so they can't really be used to substitute for normal potion crafting, but even as an extra stimulus kind of thing it seems so extremely minor that it doesn't seem to really have a point of existing

sinful steeple
#

It's an important late game resource

ashen warren
#

Also, Battle Potions and Water Candle offer really high spawn rates, they were the new Zerg for a while until Zerg was buffed again

sinful steeple
#

That also has utility early

earnest harness
#

like why sit out in a blood moon for 10 minutes to be able to make a small set of potions that you could easily get 5x the mats for any other way

quiet abyss
#

Well, in that case you still do have a choice of ignoring said blood moon to go do smth else like mining and exploring the underground. Or just gathering the regulat mats for the pots, like you said.
Whether you wish to farm for blood orbs at that point or not is up to you, and not everyone thinks that it's as pointless as you said.
Some people may still find it worth it to farm blood moons early on for blood orbs even if they're rare, or maybe they could just be farming for something else from blood moon and blood orbs are just nice lil bonuses they'll be getting along the way.
Point is, the blood orbs still have good use pre-plantera and are not, by any means, "useless". And while early on they are scarce enough for you to think they're not worth farming for, other people also have a valid reason or two to disagree.

#

"it seems so extremely minor that it doesn't seem to really have a point of existing" is also a rather curious statement that I fail to understand.
Being an alternative recipe for every single potions is not, by any means, "extremely minor". And that's not even accounting for other things like it being used for making bloodstone core.

#

If I'm misunderstanding anything here, feel free to correct me.

#

Because right now, I'm struggling to understand your complaint.

earnest harness
#

it's not that the recipes themselves are minor, but the amount of times you'll be able to use those recipes is so small unless you're explicitly farming multiple blood moons back to back, i feel like they aren't really going to be taken advantage of, especially if people see that they're used a lot in bloodstone cores, which makes those recipes even less savourable
like why would you spend your entire blood orb supply on 2 swiftness, ironskin and regen pots when you could save those for cores for bloodflare armor and not have to farm for them later?

#

i think i do have an actual suggestion to make regardless of what this conversation comes to, but i need to know, can a blood moon and pumpkin/frost moon run at the same time?

ashen warren
#

No

earnest harness
#

well shit

ashen warren
#

They cancel each other

quiet abyss
#

Well, as you have stated earlier, they become much easier to farm for once you have gotten zerg/chaos candle. Especially in the late game when you can demolish things easily.
By that point, you'd be swimming in enough blood orbs to craft the armor and then some with just a night or two of blood moon.
So, with that, why wouldn't players use the scarce amount of blood orbs they've managed to get in the early games to craft some potions and make something useful out of them right then, instead of saving said small reserve for much, much later in the game and barely making any difference in the amount of blood orbs they'll have by the late game?

ashen warren
#

If I may add on, if you get creative with standard wiring and mob spawning mechanics.. You can get over 10k blood orbs in a single night.

earnest harness
#

in rev/death or plain expert?

ashen warren
#

Deathmode as blood moon is mega buffed.

#

Like the spawnrates in deathmode bloodmoon are through the roof

#

So if you really want to farm blood orbs.. Grab some blood relics and summon a blood moon in deathmode.

quiet abyss
#

If you do the latter, then I can see why you'd think that blood orbs are not useful till mid-game, but you can easily do the former thing of using them to make potions early on, when lacking the proper ingredients to craft pots and not feeling like wanting to gather them, and you'd still only need like a few minutes more of farming for those in the late game to make up for all the blood orbs you used to make potions early on.

earnest harness
#

i feel like "just toggle deathmode" is a reasonable solution to my complaint at this point

ashen warren
#

That's the beauty of deathmode

#

You can toggle it

earnest harness
#

although perhaps a little esoteric, myself i never actually looked at all the shit death does, does it mention that in the tooltip?

ashen warren
#

You can also use the defiled rune

#

To enhance drop rates

earnest harness
#

i don't think defiled works with blood orbs though

ashen warren
#

I mean extra gold LeviKek

#

With my own personal blood orb farm, I can get 14-17k orbs in a night

quiet abyss
#

Mhm, if you have concluded that you can just toggle deathmode briefly when farming blood moon to remedy your problem, then I'd say this discussion is resolved and done with. No need for suggestion after all.

earnest harness
#

"Greatly boosts enemy spawn rates during the blood moon."
huh look at that

ashen warren
#

And honestly, the farm isn't that bad to set up

#

Just clever mechanics used in a clever way to maximize profit.

earnest harness
#

tbh i think the oppurtunity of getting even more blood orbs from a bloodied up seasonal moon is a pretty good idea but if it isn't possible then what can you do

ashen warren
#

You can setup a proper farm that makes mobs spawn in one spot, and die five seconds later

#

And the loot instantly comes to you.

#

It's so op, I can only use this farm once I've beaten ml on a pt

#

So yeah, with some creative thinking stuff can be done enmass

earnest harness
#

tbh i never use wiring or create auto-farms like that, i just do it all manual, might carve out a decent cave area for spawning if i feel the need

fading robin
#

sorry for late reply
tested on a dummy for max dps
no rage/adren max menacing and standard accessories
on deathmode :)

#

@indigo fog

indigo fog
#

What were the accessories you used?

#

also you should add that to your suggestion

frail mantle
#

reminder that dps can vary wildly and dummies aren't the best to test dps on

fading robin
#

i was testing max dps

swift wadi
#

On tier bosses are always the best option for testing

fading robin
#

also tested on providence

#

i will write the updated stuff

sinful steeple
#

If you didn't test it on the Profaned Guardians how do you know it can 5 shot them

vast zinc
#

m a t h s

#

just that

void kelp
#

@ashen warren isn’t that already given when the damage type + boosts are listed?

ashen warren
#

Nevermind, I stopped defending my statement

void kelp
#

is it fine to delete it? @ashen warren

ashen warren
#

Yes

void kelp
#

👍

#

@fading robin do you have data on revengance kills?

wooden wedge
#

For example, Palladium could be centered around life regen

#

doesn't palladium do this

#

and all the other sets have their own unique effects

eternal wind
#

its not good enough to go out of your way for

#

and thats the point, to make the armors better

wooden wedge
#

I mean yeah but your sugg says to give them extra effects to which they already have extra effects

onyx river
#

i mean they could also do what they did to pre-hm ore armors and give them one general buff(not mining speed tho cuz it's useless at this point of the game)

eternal wind
#

i said do that if outright buffing them is not happening

#

or both if that works too

#

i want to give them a use as they are pretty useless in calamity

onyx river
#

well i mean instead of giving them all separate abilities, give them all the same to different levels

distant gyro
#

remove palladium and orichalcum imo

frail mantle
#

isn't palladium armor lowkey chad

distant gyro
#

rapid healing and petals are insanely underrated

eternal wind
#

compared to the tier 3 ores where everyone goes straight to?

onyx river
#

well this wouldn't make sense that they are as powerfull as the tier 3 ores

distant gyro
#

First 2 tiers are more convenient

onyx river
#

plus not everyone even gets t3 ore armor

distant gyro
#

also yea

eternal wind
#

not not as powerful obviously, but make them better than statigel gel at least

radiant meadow
#

isn't orichalcum like chad dps?

eternal wind
#

i just made orichalcum armor and damage is not nearly as good as the statigel

radiant meadow
#

the petals give a good amount of extra dps

void kelp
#

whats the special effect of adamantite again?

onyx river
#

nothing

distant gyro
#

generic stuff

onyx river
#

ye titanium is the special one

distant gyro
#

cobalt, mythril, adamantite are the generic trio

void kelp
#

ahh

#

just stats

onyx river
#

yes

ashen warren
#

I thought titanium armor had invincibility frames when you hit something

onyx river
#

it gives you a buff wich allows you to dodge the next attack

ashen warren
#

ahhh

onyx river
#

after wich you have a cd before you can get the buff again

eternal wind
#

the newer ores are better, but not something you would mine for when you could get Adamantite/Titanium just as easily

latent agate
#

You could also just fish

onyx river
#

"just as easily"

#

tbh t3 ores are way rarer than t2

eternal wind
#

but why is a hm set weaker than pre-hm?

latent agate
#

Fishing is the way to do early HM if I’m being honest

onyx river
#

it's a way

eternal wind
#

yeah its a pretty great method

latent agate
#

And since fishing is good early HM you can just store all your gold crates
