The Storm
Golem
Hello again Ladies, Gentlemen, Derplings, Cubes, Face Monsters ect… I am here once again to propose an idea that will most likely never be added, but I’ll put some effort into it anyway.
Now don’t you think that the current amount of bars required to craft the pre-hardmode ore armour is too much?
All bar requirements are now fewer than half of what they used to be which should make them slightly more viable.
Now that’s not the only thing I’m proposing to be changed, I also feel the defence values and set bonuses could be tweaked a little;
As you can see that while the alternate ores have 4 extra greater defence, the originals have a different set bonus to compensate.
Let’s give some love to these four forgotten armour sets;
Well that’s all for now, I know these probably won’t be making any of you want to craft them, as let’s face it we all skip these armour sets, but perhaps they’ll be more useful for newer players.
So what do you all think of these improvements? Should they be buffed further, are the crafting recipes still too expensive? Please let me know
