This is a resource pack that revamps the tooltips of over 700 items and buffs, making them clearer, more informative, and more helpful overall. Items now give more precise numbers, include info on previously obscure mechanics, and in some cases have entirely new tooltips meant to help guide new players. All while keeping as close as possible to the feel of the vanilla game.
"Better Tooltips" on Steam Workshop
Please let me know what you think, and if there are any other items you think should get a tooltip update in this pack. I've hit all the bigger targets already, but I'm still open to including more. Also let me know if there are any inaccuracies, as much of the data came from a combination of the wiki and my own testing, though I tried to be as accurate as possible.
This is an extensive but non-exhaustive list of changes:
- The generic "Equipable" tooltip has been replaced with "Can be placed in equipment slots", for clarity
- Tavernkeep armors now list their boosts to their respective sentries more precisely
- Most items that give life regen now give number of HP recovered per second
- Most instances of "minion damage" are now "summon damage" for consistency
- All instances of "mining speed" are now "pickaxe speed" since drills are unaffected
- All instances of "melee speed" are now "weapon swing speed" since only swung weapons are affected, and whips are also affected
- Spectre armor and Vampire Knives list exact lifesteal rates
- Stat buffs and debuffs generally give more exact percentage increases/decreases
- Solar Flare armor's set bonus now includes its 12% damage reduction, and Solar Shield buff now correctly states only 20% damage reduction
- Items that have or give defense penetration now state the amount of defense ignored
- Wings now state "negates fall damage" instead of "allows slow fall" for clarity, as well as listing their flight time and other stats
- Some developer wings that had hover abilities but not the standard hover wing tooltip now include said tooltip
- Items that affect vertical ascent speed with wings but aren't wings themselves, like Frog Leg and Soaring Insignia, now state their "lift power" boost
- Sentries, as well as Crimson Rod, Nimbus Rod, and Clinger Staff, now state their duration
- "Special crafting" stations now state they craft "vanity furniture" instead
- Items with special setting toggles, like the PDA or Paint Sprayer, now mention where to find those toggles
- Ankh Charm and Shield now actually list all debuffs they give immunity to
- Items that increase underwater breath time now state their multiplier
- Brain of Confusion, Black Belt, and Master Ninja Gear now state their exact dodge chance
- Split infinitives and other grammar errors have been fixed for people who might care about that
- Light pets now state "luminosity" for easy comparison
- Campfires that can be placed in liquids now say so, like torches
- The Magic and Demon Conches now actually say what they do
- The DCU now states its 210% pickaxe power
- Fishing poles now mention that bait just has to be in the inventory, to prevent confusion about how to use them
- Gravedigger's Shovel now states exactly which tiles it can mine
- Magma Stone and its tinkers now actually say they set enemies on fire instead of that they "deal fire damage"
- Key of Night and Key of Light now actually state their function
- More weapons with gimmicks that deal different damage from their default attack, like Starfury's stars, now give details in their tooltip
- Most boss/event-summoning items now have additional flavor text to provide hints or warnings about their purpose
- Pwnhammer and Hammush now mention Crimson Altars along with Demon Altars in their tooltips
- Desert Tiger Staff and Stardust Dragon Staff now explain their gimmick
- The Yoyo Glove and Bag are more explicit about only working after the yoyo hits an enemy
- Moon Stone, Sun Stone, and their tinkers have altered wording meant to imply they aren't stackable, on top of listing their exact stat increases
- The OOA sentry accessories now state that they don't stack with one another
- Mount tooltips contain additional information, including flight time for flying mounts
- Debuffs now state their DPS in their tooltips
- Some items that inflict debuffs, especially ones that can't be inflicted on players, also state their debuff's DPS
- Items that operate from the inventory, like informational items, now say so in their tooltip
- Luck potions and Garden Gnomes now state their luck increases
- Items that affect enemy spawns, such as Battle/Calming Potions, now state the percentage change in spawn rate
