⦉ Necromancy Potion ⦊

Bottled Water + Stinkfish + Deathweed + Shadow Scale / Tissue Sample + Bone @ Placed Bottle / Alchemy Table

The concept of a Death Mirror that teleports the player to their last place of death is a popular idea, so I made a potion version. I know some mod already adds something like this, but I'd love to see this in vanilla.

It can be found in Dead Man's Chests at a 33% chance (standalone)...

...in cavern Golden Chests as a part of this loot table:

...in Locked Golden and Shadow Chests (and their Lock Boxes) as a part of this loot table:

...and in Underworld pots at a 10% chance. Like the Potion of Return, the Necromancy Potion can drop alongside any of the potions in this table:

Hmm... I like it. Would you be able to get it renewably? I think that if you can, it should be a drop from Golden/Obsidian Lock Boxes. I'm a big fan of fishing, and this potion is useful enough that you'll want to be able to get more. But something about not being able to craft them just appeals to me here.

Yes, you can get them from Lock Boxes. They are craftable. I think you missed the grey text because that's the crafting recipe. No other potion is uncraftable and this one won't be an exception, but I think I balanced the recipe well enough.

Red’s potion is craftable? Also the recipe should contain tissue sample / shadow scales since this is a rather powerful item so it should be expensive.

I forgot about that, but that's seed exclusive and not an ordinary potion
Scales / samples is a good call though

I like the idea, but adding Princess Fish to the Corruption recipe locks it into Hardmode, since Princess Fish are found in the Hallow. Otherwise good suggestion.

The Princess Fish was a later addition because I realised all the other potions that teleport involved a fish. I did intend it to be locked in hardmode like the Teleportation Potion, but maybe Stinkfish is a better option?

I like it but being renewable this easily makes it too OP, despite being hardmode exclusive it's easier than potions of return to obtain and arguably better, you don't even drop items on death in terraria (unless you're one of the few that plays medium core).

Having to make the trip to recover your coins or continue whatever you were doing is the cost of death in Terraria, I wouldn't try too much to live/get upgrades for better survivability if I have bunch of these with me, so maybe make the recipe involve something more difficult to obtain, currently only somewhat difficult item here is princess fish.

I think an item that has the same rarity of a frost core will do, or make it exclusive to loot chests of any biome so we have a reason to explore and loot chests even in hardmode.
