Wasp Gun and Nettle Burst removed from Plantera loot pool. Now crafted with Bee Gun+ Chlorophyte and Crystal Vile Shard + Chlorophyte.
As unlikely as it'd probably be for this change to be approved, I would really like to see something like this! From what I remember, Plantera is currently one of the bosses with the most varied loot pools in the game, alongside Golem and Moon Lord, which makes trying to get one specific item a massive chore. With how annoying Plantera can be to spawn, this means that getting what you want may take hours of Plantera fights (or you could just get what you want first try if you end up getting lucky, of course)
Removing even two of the items would at the very least increase the chances of getting other items from Plantera, which could be helpful, especially to players aiming to craft the Zenith and thus needed the Seedler (From what I've heard, it and the Moon Lord swords tend to be the things that are most commonly complained about when it comes to crafting the Zenith)
As much as I would like a similar sort of change to be applied to Moon Lord to give players an easier time getting a specific item, there aren't really any weapons that could be tier-shifted to a slightly earlier (or even later) point like the Plantera drops, at least without a major rework that would be even less likely to happen in this small balance update. A similar issue applies to Golem; while some drops
could be tier-shifted, there aren't any obvious choices like with Plantera. Instead, I propose that
in Expert Mode and Master Mode, Golem and Moon Lord can drop two weapons (and accessories in Golem's case) instead of one. This would have a similar effect to the Plantera change suggested by Mathbrush, in that it makes acquiring the weapon you want easier, while remaining consistent with some other bosses (such as the armor from King/Queen Slime, and Wall of Flesh) and being a smaller change compared to tier-shifting weapons. Since Golem and Moon Lord are the only bosses with more than five drops (after the Plantera change, that is) they're really the only ones left that have a massive amount of potential item drops that could be alleviated with this change. In the case of Moon Lord, its drops could be easily split up into two "groups", similarly to how Wall of Flesh's Treasure Bag drops an Emblem and a weapon; these two groups could each contain one weapon for each class (Star Wrath, S.D.M.G., Last Prism, and Lunar Portal Staff could be one group, and Meowmere, Celebration Mk2, Lunar Flare, and Rainbow Crystal Staff could be the other group, as an example), and Moon Lord always drops one weapon from each group. Unfortunately, Golem doesn't have enough items that could be put into two evenly-sized groups like WoF and Moon Lord, so it would probably just have to drop two items from its entire loot pool, or
maybe one weapon and one accessory (though the latter would lead to one group of five items, and one group of two items)
Granted, I don't expect any of these changes to be applied in this update, but it would be
really nice to players looking to obtain the right items, and they shouldn't be such massive changes that they are beyond the scope of this update (though of course, that depends on how difficult it actually is to mess with loot tables and add crafting recipes, and whether that's something that can be reasonably done right now).
over true melee. 30 more damage than the previous tier doesn't sound like that much, but with how defense works it's a much bigger jump than you'd think. Other classes shoot at the wall from far outside the Super Hungries' range, so getting rid of them will do nothing but make Night's edge more beginner friendly.
