For my submission, the set would look just like this:
For a better in-game look, here is the full set next to a target dummy.
My submission, if not already apparent, is the
Invisible set. While it isn’t the most creative set design-wise, I think that this set will get it’s creativity from players mixing it with other pieces of armour and accessories. This would give players much more options when building their character’s appearance. Floating head? Easy. A shield with legs and wings? Simple. The possibilities this set could create are endless, just like Terraria as a game. The creativity comes from each individual player.
I was torn between designing a interesting-looking set for myself, and this idea, but I figured that this set would benefit other players so much more than any personal design.
So how would it work, considering how different it would be?
These pieces of vanity armour would work just like how invisibility potions + familiar set pieces did before the potion effect was changed. It would make the area where it would be equipped invisible, like it isn’t there, while leaving accessories and such still visible.
“If invisibility potions exist, what is the point of this set???”
This set is permanently invisible, and more importantly it allows you to selectively make certain parts of your character invisible. This set obviously wouldn’t give any benefit the invisibility potion would. It also leaves other things such as accessories and mounts visible.
Another use could be to use it in conjunction with armour stands, making parts of the armour stand invisible. This could create many new possibilities that builders could use in their builds.
How would you obtain it ingame?
I was imagining as an easy way to get it, you could buy it from the clothier after defeating the martians, perhaps as a reference to cloaking devices. This would however make the set unavailable until much later in the game. Another, perhaps more unique way of obtaining it, would be that if you were under the effects of an invisibility potion it would become available for purchase from the clothier.
Other details
Head Piece
Name: Invisible Hat
Tooltip: “Your head doesn’t exist, like the country of Finland!”
Chest Piece
Name: Invisible Shirt
Tooltip: “Your torso doesn’t exist, like the country of Finland!”
Leg Piece
Name: Invisible Pants
Tooltip: “Your legs don’t exist, like the country of Finland!”
Also for multiplayer and PVP, maybe make it so that if you are wearing all three pieces that it appears to other players that you are wearing the familiar set, to avoid giving players free invisibility in PVP.
If terraria PVP needs to be actually balanced lol
