Weapons & Equip A unique set that doubles the effectiveness of potions " Star traveler set "

[Coleyohley]

Yes, the explosion resistance of the ore makes sense.
Also, to balance this set, the number of enhanced effects (+70% effectiveness and + 50% duration) is limited to three. To make the enhanced effects different from the standard ones, they will have a gold-plated frame.

Now you've just made it worthless. 1.7x the potency of only 3 potion effects is basically never going to be worth your entire armour set, especially one without any defense of its own.

I also have an idea to add a "star protection mode" to this kit. It switches in the same way as the "invisibility mode" in the "vortex armor". Entering this mode, all effect boosts are canceled, in return, all the power of the player's equipment will be used to absorb damage from 1 negative effects applied to it.
Thus, the timer of the negative effect will be accelerated three times.

This is also terrible, you cancel out extremely weak boost the armour is giving you for to lessen the effect of one single debuff, which aside from Cursed and Silenced (both of which are very rarely inflicted to begin with), are only a minor inconvenience to the player.

The amount of enhanced effects is due to the fact that this armor set can be obtained before the boss.

Perhaps then in the "star defense" mode the player would receive 6 units of defense and a threefold acceleration of the timer of one debuff or a twofold acceleration of the timer of two debuffs.Also, when amortizing debuffs, priority will be given to effects that deal damage to the terrarian.
When I was planning this, the first thing I thought about was the powerful poisoning effect of the hornet stings in Expert and Master mode.

Limiting it to 3 effects makes this armor set FAR less interesting. People will just use Ironskin + Regeneration + Summoning/Magic Power/Archery/Ale, and there will be no excitement from finding random potions in chests anymore because they'll be useless 95% of the time. Also, being forced to consume potions in a specific order to enhance the ones you want sounds really annoying, and I assume that this is how it will work because anything else would be even more annoying and unintuitive.

You don't need a separate "star defense" mode, you can just make the set passively decrease debuff durations at all times. The only difference is that you don't have to give up your buff enhancements for like 10 seconds while curing your debuff, and that amount of time is basically nothing.

I can't stress this enough: if someone tells you that your idea is unbalanced, don't change anything until they explain why.

Then it might be worth limiting the number of boosts to 5 buffs (+70% effectiveness and 40% duration). The protection of the kit is still 0.How about the "star defender" mode adds 12 units of protection, and, in addition to the above-described system for accelerating debuff timers, this mode would pause all buffs, affecting the attack and defense characteristics of the Terrarian?
This would allow you to somewhat save the effectiveness of potions, for example in PvP, when you want to save the power of existing buffs until the next battle. Whatever happens with these balance edits, I'll be drawing a sprite for this kit the next day. It was very nice that people reacted to this post.

No. the original effect of the set as stated in the OP, is fine enough (double effects and same duration) EXSPESSAILY with no defense

I wouldn't mind the set making all of the potions last 10 minutes too (except for Builder), just for quality of life. The potions are the stats of this armour, and having them all fall off at different times sounds annoying.

Hello everyone again.
This time, this sentence is just a concept.
I suggest adding a new set to the game: "Star traveler set".



A BRIEF DIGRESSION FOR THE " SPEEDRUNNERS OF THE FORUM"

This new set with zero protection is capable enhance the effect power of most potions consumed.
( Potion effect effectiveness and duration have been increased by 70% and 50% respectively ).
It will be created from new ore generated on the flying lake. The ore can only be mined if the player has at least 200 mana.



" STAR TRAVELER'S EQUIPMENT":

- Star helmet
Defence: 0
"Glows a little in the dark".
Crafting: 4 Starstones + Anvil

- Star Cuirass
Defence: 0
"It glows a little in the dark."
Crafting: 5 Star Stones + Anvil

- Star boots
Defence: 0
" Glows a little in the dark"
Crafting: 8 Starstones + Anvil

Set Bonus: " Potion effectiveness and duration increased by 70% and 40% respectively .The limit of the number of enhanced effects is 3 ".

That is, if you drink a potion of iron skin, it will give 14 points of protection instead of eight and will last for and a twelve minutes instead of eight. When calculating the duration and power of the effect, rounding up to one minute, one unit or one percent, respectively, always occurs.
However, there are exceptions to this rule: potions with no effectiveness index (obsidian skin potion, underwater breathing potion), any type of food and alcohol,fishing related potions, unique potions (potion for the worthy, strange decoction). The principle of operation of these items does not change.



" THE STAR STONE " :
This is a unique ore that can only be mined at the bottom of the "floating lake".
This ore glimmers at night, creating a little light.

Resuming this item is similar to generating shells on the beach, meaning it appears if there is a large body of water nearby and there are many cloud blocks nearby.

This ore is unique in that it can be mined with absolutely any pickaxe, but only if the player has at least 200 mana units.
In the process of mining this ore, it takes away the player's mana very quickly, and even if the ore was almost destroyed, but the player ran out of mana, the mining process of this ore will be reset.

The ore is immune to dynamite and bomb explosions.



CONSLUSION :

What problems does this innovation solve?:
1) Rewarding the player for getting the maximum amount of mana
3) More decorations for the floating lake. It looks pretty boring compared to the floating island.
2) Now, the floating lake will have value not only for anglers and the player will have a reason to return to this place later to mine ore.

I am waiting for your feedback.
Translated.

This ore would be fire if it had some other uses and also as you said decorative items made out of it too

Well, that's what I got (Sprite).
Also shown is the expected appearance of the sprite in the dark.
I was thinking about it again, if this set needed a "star protection mode." Since: I have not yet come up with an animation for this mode, and I have another idea of implementing a stop of the active effects and this set can be obtained before the boss, I agree that this set of armor does not need a star defense mode.
