Weapons & Equip I believe i speak for all summoners in saying we need an easy to obtain whip pre any boss that isint hard to obtain like Leather or Snapthorn whip.

[Draw2Death]

Heres a few ideas of mine:

'Silk Whip' poor in damage but decently fast

'Chain whip' Slow but decently damaging whip.

'The Living root Whip' spawns in Living Wood Chests, it does decent damage and has a decent speed.


Just ideas for early whips. Im aware were getting 2 early whips for the evil biomes but even those id imagine they whould need Tissue Samples or Shadow Scales. Even if theyre orb drops or require just the ores, theyre still not really any easier to obtain than Snapthorn Whip and Leather Whip. A whip you could craft with early materials that dont need you to beat a Boss with other classes weapons or having to wait for zoologist is what we summoners whould love!

Personally I think the whip selection pre-boss is fine, because Snapthorn can be crafted right from the start with relatively easily-obtained materials from a dangerous biome, and if you're not up to that you can obtain the Leather Whip from the Zoologist pretty early on as long as you explore and collect money a bit.

Why not make Acorns a projectile that summons squirrels at the target? Would be fairly low damage, and not a whip, but a summon weapon nonetheless.

Thats not the issue. Its the fact that all other classes can get a weapon in the first 10 minutes while summoners have to vissit the 3rd hardest Biome in Pre Hardmode to get their First weapon.

Melee has Wooden sword.

Ranged has Wooden Bow.

Mage has Wand of sparking.


Even Leather whip requires Building houses, 54 entries, Waiting for zoologist to arrive and 10 Gold to buy it.

Id be down for that too. Who said all Summoner main weapons had to be whips? Give me throwing dagger acorns lol.

In my idea the acorns themselves don’t deal damage. They cause squirrels to attack what you throw them at. If they were dagger like they would be more ranged.

I actually do support the idea of a weak, craftable whip. But the problem is that making it worse than the Leather Whip is tough.

Thats a simple issue to fix. Buff the leather whip. It allready is a pretty bad whip so i dont see why it coudnt be given a buff.

I believe we're already getting this, in an older spoiler we got an image of what looked to be a whip made of cobwebs.

If thats true then thats great! Well acxually depends. If its a Whip made from Cobwebs then its great. If its a whip you get from spider chests then i dont think its really gonna fix the issue. Spider biomes only tend to have chests in em 1/3 times. Entire snow biome on a small world will have around 7 Spider Biomes. On top that the Hook will make it a 50/50 Change so it kinda has the finch staff issue where if youre unlucky then you cant get it.

Chain whip sounds good but silk whip sounds hella weak (name wise not damage wise) so maybe instead of silk it could be rope

trying to find out if you could hurt someone with it is quite difficult, but silk has some pretty solid tensile strength + durability to my knowledge. plus i mean.. as an earlygame weapon, how strong does it have to really sound lol
