Derpo here, with another suggestion, this time an old one with some new content.

Now, some of you may remember my old Thunder Armor thread on the old forums. Well, I've taken that idea, improved two of the sprites, and added a couple of things.

First off, all of these things will be made with Thundurem (pronounced Thun-doo-rem).

This is made with 4 pieces of Thundurem ore.

Thundurem ore is similar to Chlorophyte in that it is an ore that grows. But it doesn't grow underground, it grows on sky islands. The ore will start to grow when at least one mech boss has been defeated. It grows twice as fast as chlorophyte and 3 times faster while it's raining (idea by @DoktorDare). It can be mined with an Adamantite/Titanium pick or higher, this gives those picks a use. Now, on to the gear.

Turns any bullet into lightning charges. These projectiles look like high velocity bullets and move as fast as high velocity bullets. When they strike an enemy, lightning bolts spread from that enemy shocking up to 3 other enemies within a 15 block radius.

So, what do you think?

Wow, always wanted an amazing armour that increases movement capabilities! Though, I agree to the size issue that mastermage pointed out. Some small worlds might get 3~ veins:rolleyes:

As I said before, all you gotta do is find at least one piece, and then you can start a farm. But now that I think about it, mining Cholophyte is a huge pain...I'll change how fast it grows.

Edit: Fixed.
 
Any chance you mean the Lightning Boots? And if so, any chance it could be the frostspark boots instead?

Edit: Other than that I love the idea, and it isn't much of an issue.

I do in fact mean the lightning boots, thanks for catching that. Also, why change it to Frostspark?

Just because it would make it another step in the boots, instead of a crossroads. Though, choices certainly aren't bad. Like I said, it isn't much of an issue at all, just wanted to see if you would consider it.
 
Heck yeah, perfect exploration armor. I would totally use the thunder Tabi over frostspark boots.

Small suggestion- make the ore spawn in the sky far away from other blocks, so you have to search for it like floating islands. Tiny, ever-expanding floating island.

That's an interesting idea, but there isn't really a good method of traversing the sky at the moment, so it would be really difficult to find.

Step 1: Obtain wings
Step 2: Make skybridge
Step 3: Fly
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!

But really though, wings should be enough to find a chunk of ore in the sky. It's your suggestion though. :p

That's the reason I suggested changing it to an upgrade to the frostspark. Frostspark are extremely situational, they are pretty much only better on ice compared to Lightning Boots. With this, most people would simply choose to make these instead.
