Ooh, this will be useful
Grub leather plate, found by analyzing leather chunks (grinder + berry/pupa leather):
Berry leather plate:
Pupa leather plate:
Scraps?
You have to grind grub hide, berry leather, and pupa hide to get 5 scraps each
Still getting set up over here but should be at the point I can start posting unique effects soon
Oh thanks
Thank god, grubs have more uses now
im kinda upset that you have to grind really hard
Grubs only drop like 1 hide each grub you kill
So is this a thing now?😂
so that means for upgrading 1 armor piece to level 5 you need like 30-35 grub hides
You can get 10 - 15 grub hides from near the green shield bug and directly around the Oak tree
Can we keep this on topic? Two weeks from now we want this thread to be useful
On topic?
This is #969368680116936805
I haven't gotten to post unique armor effects yet and users are already going to have to scroll down two pages just to see them
Crap my bad
No because you need grub leather scraps not grub hide. You get 5 grub leather scraps by putting 1 grub hide in the grinder
To be clear discussion about scraps / plates is fine 👍 Because that's relevant, not trying to discourage talk about that
yea, you need like 62 grub leather plates for 1 piece on level 5
Yeah I'm trying to work up all the math atm
2 scraps each grub leather plate = 124 grub leather scraps
25 grub hides
1 grub hide gives 5
yea
grindy
and don't lemme start with level 6-9
that shit is also grindy
Then 6 - 7 would be:
- 30 berry scraps
- 15 bug rubber
- 15 grub leather plate
- 30 grub leather scraps
- 15 sap
- 15 rope
and that is just 1 piece of armor on level 7
8 - 9:
- 30 pupa leather scraps
- 15 bug gloop
- 30 berry scraps
- 15 bug rubber
- 30 grub leather scraps
- 15 sap
- 15 rope
not really fun if you ask me
For a single armor piece up to level 9 (and feel free to correct my math here):
- 6 pupa hide
- 15 bug gloop
- 33 grub hide
- 92 sap
- 92 rope
- 12 berry leather
- 30 bug rubber
165 grub scraps are like 33 grub hides
so you need 99 grub hides for 1 entire armor set to be level 9
like
thats too much
And nearly 300 rope lol
lol
i just abuse grass plates
90 bug rubber
300 sap
?!?!?
ok lets share some grub positions here
i need a good way to farm them
I spent the last two days farming them so I had about 300 hide already
I go to the spot with the green shield bug, there's 10+ grubs in this small area.
Then I go to the Oak tree, immediately around it's perimeter is a bunch of grubs. I've walled the wolf spiders into the trunk so it's very safe for me
I've already edited this in at the top but @jagged sphinx has already updated the wiki with all the effects and beat me to it:
https://grounded.fandom.com/wiki/Status_Effects#Armor_Upgrade_Effects
Most are kind of what I expected to see -- I do like Red Ant having harvest speed, and it's interesting that clover has regeneration but given the cost of upgrading it doesn't seem worth upgrading beyond 5 for anything but lategame armor
Armor Upgrading
so i got 13 now
from the green shield bug area
ok i know what to do now
i will have a armor set of Mother Demon mask, roly poly chestplate and roly poly shoes
i will also use clover armor level 7 for the regeneration
when im not in a fight

These new effects, do you have to wear the full set to get the effects, or can you use separate pieces and gain some of the effects?
Separate pieces I imagine, since unique pieces (Marksman Cap, Termite chest, etc) have them
I'm assuming the effects stack with multiple pieces of the same Sleek set
This is correct. You're adding new status effects to each piece of armor. You're not messing with set bonuses in any way.
As such, each piece's sleek bonus will stack with others, and you can mix and match to get the bonuses from different pieces.
Can we pin this message above me for later?
