More Lapis Jewelry! Also, Bolts!

[mystic olive]

Lapis Lazuli only has the one brooch (stats but not enchanted) and the t1 Ring of Luck, so I figured it could do with some more jewelry options, as well as crossbow bolt tips.

Lvl-1 enchant jewelry
Anklet is made by casting in silver, like with the ring
Bracelet is made by using a bowstring on the brooch

Enchanted Lapis Brooch: Brooch of Two Axes

• Intended as more of a fun item than anything
• While worn, one’s highest tier hatchet will be used as a pickaxe and vice versa at half efficacy
  • A hatchet of a certain tier can be used as a pickaxe of the same tier for mining, but only deals half the rock damage
  • A pickaxe of a certain tier can be used as a hatchet of the same tier, but yields logs at half the rate
  • Does prioritize the more effective option for use, i.e. if someone has a rune hatchet and an adamant pickaxe, the pickaxe will be prioritized, but the mining animation will show the player using the hatchet as a pickaxe

Enchanted Lapis Bracelet: Bracelet of Forestry

• When chopping normal and oak trees, gaining logs doesn’t deplete the tree. Lasts 20 charges before crumbling to dust

Enchanted Lapis Anklet: Anklet of Musical Chimes

• While worn, resting anywhere recharges run energy at the same rate as resting at a musician

While we’re at it, may as well add Lapis bolts!

• Crafted by using Lapis bolt tips on smithed bolts or Bakriminel bolts
  • Idk what bolts to use. Do we go with new smithed bolts and, like, re-tier diamond thru onyx (diamond for runite, dragonstone for orikalkum (VERY apropos if you ask me), moonstone for necronium (whenever that happens), either onyx for banite including tuned, or we skip banite and go for elder runite, leaving hydrix with ascension tips? And then for fun we use lapis for primal?) or reuse bronze bolts? If we go with primal then lapis tips would have to have an appropriately high level to cut the gem into bolt tips
• 10% chance to explode in a puff of smoke, obscuring the target’s vision and reducing their accuracy by 20% for 30 seconds

I actually really like these

pitched at a suitable level of utility but would be genuinely useful early game

[grim mesa]

i like a few of these ideas, but i feel the rate of replacing early game tools (pickaxes/hatchets) esp with the cost of gold per each , this would get replaced very easily.

i do think they should give it some purpose. maybe take the idea of the "brooch of two axes" idea and maybe we can make "lapiz attachments" for pickaxes/hatchets upto rune for some kind of benefit.

Bracelet idea i feel with current trees would be a ineffeciency ESP with wood box. i think wood box/ore box needs to be a tutorial addition so people know they exist early. (please lmk if this exists)

maybe a bracelet of forestry has a 50% chance to auto-bank logs for a duration of time and has X charges/uses till it needs to be recharged with more lapiz gems. i think degrade-to-dust- would be too harmful for its value.

love the anklet idea esp early on

lapiz bolts would be tough because ATM they arent tradebale on GE and would be too strong of a imbalance of supply/demand if too strong. like the idea of accuracy reduction but that should scale off the level of bolt its used on , and make them trade-able on GE.

I actually kind of figured the replacement rate for tools would have an effect on the utility of the brooch, which is why I said it was more intended to be a fun item, like a rubber chicken or ring of stone, something for someone watching the person with the brooch go "WHOA! How are they using their pickaxe on the tree like that!?"

there's not really a meta to it other than if a player were to focus on training mining for a while from level 1 up till something like level 50 and then switch up to woodcutting to use a rune pickaxe to chop logs at a higher rate than a bronze hatchet, which I don't really imagine anyone doing tbh lol
