[Kenishjooj]

Chlorophyte dart should bounce back as Chloro arrow :3
Great idea tho.

 

[Pixel]

Really nice idea. I always found dart weapons very lacking and what do you know, SZ the problem solver comes to rescue. Obviously the concept is nice and rather original. The thread format is nice and the complementary sprites only make it better.

 

[SzGamer227]

Chlorophyte Bullets and Arrows don't share an ability, so why should Darts?


Anyways, thanks for the support, guys!

 

[xGodzPlayerx]

That's quite well i never use blowpipes but that is interesting! Quite Support

 

[Youfad]

This seems really good, especially because darts become useless once you craft your third sword.

 

[Krypnoda]

Redigit was looking at this thread.
The moment i see him looking at one of mine is the day I am very happy, happy, happy.

 

[SzGamer227]

Redigit was looking at this thread.

Aw, yeah!

 

[Lecic]

Wonderful suggestion. This would be a great expansion on a woefully underused ammo system.

 

[Miner8625]

Blow dart huh? *wink wink nudge nudge*
That aside, support.

 

[bad_news]

After thinking about those sunflower seeds, I figured I should post here. Right now 1/2 the ammunition for the blowpipe and blowgun is seeds. Why not expand those too? Different seeds could have interesting effects, and allow you to use any extra seeds from farming. Some examples:

• Shiverthorn seeds inflict slowed for a short time
• Deathweed seeds inflict bleeding
• Moonglow seeds pierce and emit light
• Blinkroot seeds inflict confused (remember party girl and pirate? )

 

[stormconure]

Who else saw the dart sniper rifle and thought of Bloons TD5? Lol

Anyway this is really good. Support.

As this idea was originally mine, I was actually planning on adding a dartling gun, but I didn't wanna get too direct. Also, the shroomite darts were originally called airburst darts and were made from crystal shards, but things got changed due to suggestions after Sz took over for me.

 

[CrazyDragon]

Another attempt to necro a thread that nobody ever pays attention to...

 

[Everybody]

The idea is to give weapons like the Blowpipe and the Blowgun more presence in the game. We're just going to throw a ton of possibilities out there and see what sticks. In essence, darts will be a slower, more powerful variant of bows and arrows with cheaper ammo and increased critical strike chance. The downside would be that darts are less powerful than arrows, usually when it comes to the debuffs, if they have any.

Seeds should be sold by the Dryad. Just a thought.

 

[Zwift]

Them darts tho. Pew pew pew.

 

[Everybody]

Seeds should be sold by the Dryad. Just a thought.

I have yet to see this implemented here.

 

[MiltVala]

I have yet to see this implemented here.

Why bother? Seeds are stupidly easy to get. Basically inventory clutter.

Sometimes I have a hard time getting them; And there's not really a con to allowing her to sell seeds.
