People generally prefer threads with more details, what would be the upgrade? What's to make it not just a damage buffed version of it? You know, that kind of thing.
Personally I think a pink slime staff might be a good item. The slimes bouncing off as opposed to causing the piercing weapon invincibility timer. That way you can use a secondary weapon much easier.
Fundamentally... no, most summoning weapons really are not that different. Aside from minor differences in side effects (i.e fire/poison/other dps) and damage, almost every summoning weapon falls into one of two categories- shoot projectiles or run at mobs.Come to think of it, most of the summons are quite different in mechanics (e.g. the imp doesn't work underwater ...), it would be nice to have a universal upgrade system for Summoning weapons so we can pick what suits us most. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself.

Anyway- I really do not see why the Slime staff needs an upgrade. Balance-wise there are already viable HM summoner weapons with a similar AI to the SS (off the top of my head- spider, pirate and pygmy).
the slime is cute. I like this idea
Obviously we should get a vanity minion slot so we can have hoards of flying slimes shooting lasers at things, or sharkadoes that spew pirates that explode into gore.Cosmetics is also why I would like them upgradable.
Why use a red slime when you could use a lava slime???My idea of upgrading the staff is somehow making it unique.
Maybe upgrade it with 100 Gel and a Dye Color and Herb?
Some would give it an offensive upgrade, defensive upgrade or support/utility upgrade?
Only ones I can think of are Red Slime upgrade using Fireblossom and having the chance of inflicting On Fire! and Yellow Slime using Blinkroot and being able to act as a light.
Well I wasn't thinking of that earlier.Why use a red slime when you could use a lava slime???
Light Blue Dye + Shiverthorn = Ice sclimeWell I wasn't thinking of that earlier.
Though now I can see Slime Staff + Blue Dye + Waterleaf = Water Slime
Lava Slime = Slime Staff + Fireblossom + Red DyeLight Blue Dye + Shiverthorn = Ice sclime
