THIS POST HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REDONE: THESE ARE THE IMPROVED VERSIONS OF THE ORIGINAL POST.

I think they look a bit underwhelming, even compared to their Pre-HM counterparts. They look more like alternatives than upgrades, really. Also, when eventually coming up with the stats, do keep in mind that these armours are available from the very start of hardmode, even before Cobalt or Palladium. I suggest making their boosts and defense not too high.

 

[Noobiescrubpleb]

Why? And wait soul of light for hallowed armor? Why are you changing hallow armor recipe? Honestly this suggestion isn't very original. Plus what are the stats? I honestly don't think there's a need for hardmode shadow armor and crimtane armor.

 

[wCrane]

ok, forget these armours, nobody seems to like them, can I just change this to a general new armours page?

 

[neoselket]

i love shadow armor, making a hardmode variant would be great.

 

[wCrane]

hmm.. If anyone could think of any suggestions as to how to make the crafting recipe harder to get materials for that would be great, cause I want them to be around the same strength as the Hallowed armour and to become available around the same time too.
[DOUBLEPOST=1422400126][/DOUBLEPOST]I was thinking maybe replacing the souls with ectoplasm? but that doesn't really seem related to the crimson or corruption..

 

[DestroyerOfTheDestroyer]

Just add hallowed bars and souls. Then change the sprite to something more badass.

I'll make them look better, but hallowed bars seem more related to, well.. the hallow..

At least it makes it post-mech.

 

[wCrane]

At least it makes it post-mech.

yeah, I guess..
[DOUBLEPOST=1422400387][/DOUBLEPOST]or, maybe they could use boss souls? (might, sight fright) maybe 2 of each per piece?

 

[dark matter shark]

this is an amazing idea i love the look of corruption and crimson armor

 

[Brutallama]

I made this quite some time ago

Edit* you can use it in the op if you want

There's your sprite. Use it, if he allows it.

 

[dark matter shark]

what should the name of this armor be?
EDIT:how about. . . Chaos armor and Blood Fury Armor

Thats actually a neat idea to use the corruption chest colours! do you mind if I try that? I won't use your sprite though

I edited it to say you could use my image if you want Also, I think I used the true night's edge for the colors

 

[wCrane]

I think I have an idea for the recipes but i'll share them at around 8-10pm

even better the true night's edge gos with shadow armor perfectly! Making this armor fit with the true night's edge is genius!

Meh, would be interesting, but I feel like we'd have to add a Hallow boss between the mechs and Plantera, with Hallowed being between Hardmode Shadow/Crimson, and before Chloryphyte/Endgame. Cool idea, but overall needs to be part of a much bigger suggestion, on its own its not that great.

EDIT: IDEAS AND THINGS

-Combine Shadow/Crimson bars with Cursed Flames/Ichor and Souls of Night to make new Corruption/Crimson based bars for the new equipment, using the appearance of the True Night's Edge and True Wrath of the Gods (from Tobbald's Tinkering/The Cyber)

OR

-Make the new Crimson/Corruption bars drop from the Mech Bosses (probably better)

-After the mech bosses are defeated, fight a new boss in the Hallow (drops Hallowed Bars). Perhaps King Arthur, or a dragon?

-After the Hallowed boss, the jungle grows restless.

I personally would love this idea if it was expanded like I said, would add more length to hardmode, I feel like post-mech up to endgame goes way too fast.

For Ingot/Armor names, how about Chaos Armor and Bloodfury Armor? Cool idea from earlier in the thread
