#Enchanter's ghast saddle (for when Ars updates)

The idea is a ghast saddle that provides minor buffs to the ghast like speed or health. It could even drain nearby source jars to heal the ghast. But the main thing is that it would be configurable in an equipment table with the ability to add threads.

I'm currently playing FTB skies 2 which uses the happy ghast as an early game transport and exploration solution, I just wish it was a viable option even as I progress through the pack. If I were able to make an enchanter's ghast saddle once I get an EA up, I could slap a Starbuncle thread on that bad boy and have myself a midgame transport option.

The main problem I see with this is that it would lack the same personalization options that the armor has, mostly due to the lower thread count (even if it can somehow hold more than three). The main thing is that I can't imagine there will be many threads that actually have a practical use (what would thread of spell damage do for a ghast anyway?). This could be solved by adding ghast-specific threads, but even then what qualities can be enhanced other than speed, health, and carrying capacity?

This would probably have to be an addon, since happy ghasts aren't in 1.21.1
Vanilla Backport adds happy ghasts.

Note the “when Ars updates” bit.

True

prob more of an addon thing, but things to note:

  • we already have multiple ways to heal via heal, infuse + health pot, and Ritual of Restoration
  • same with speed, we have infuse + speed pots (not to mention AN + other Vanilla movement options already currently obliterate the ghast in terms of exploration speed)

Tbf, Ghasts really seem like building tools, or maybe “everyone has a fun ride somewhere” tools, not speedy movement tools.
