Weapons & Equip Jungle Armor set could have Tissue Samples / Shadow Scales in its recipe

[Heliodoros]

This is probably the best pre-HM mage armor, and you can get it pre-Boss, rendering post-EoW/BoC Meteorite armor completely useless.

Adding samples / scales to this recipe would also make Gem Robes + Wizard Hat build more useful and popular (and this build is actually fire tho, it just has a bit less defense), and also make Meteorite armor a viable choice.

P.S. Don't be too scared. You still can get Ancient Cobalt armor from Jungle enemies, just like Ancient Shadow armor.

P.P.S. My suggestion is actually mimicring original idea of Ancient / "Modern" Shadow armor, which means that this suggestion is actually close to the game's original ideas, implemented by developers.

I like this one

Note: it's Shadow Scales, no Shadow Orb

htis would completely ruin the point. I disagree.

And how would this ruin the point, can you explain?

Yeah, thanks. Gonna edit it.

because jungle armour is just not good enough to be post eow/boc. if its buffed a little bit then I fully agree. just a buff would be better. also, meteor is also post eow, so it would make That less viable.

I like this idea.
It gives more reason for mages to grind for Ancient Cobalt gear, and if they dislike the look of the armor, they can just throw it in the shimmer to get Jungle Armor. Also, Trya, Jungle armor is considered by most to be the best PHM mage armor, so this would work for most.

maybe you're right, I just think that it would kinda overshadow meteor armor. maybe if meteors were post skeletron that would fix it?just that meteor armor is my favorite, as it can be viable in hardmode if youre lucky, as orange zapinator is affected by meteor armor

Meteorite armor is mainly for Zapinator / Space Gun users. Jungle armor is for other mages.

Nuh uh, no way, I don't support this unless they add a different pre hard mode mage set.

Wizard hat and coat do not count.

I mean Gem Robe + Wizard Hat literally has set bonus. Which makes it as a set. Also you can wear any leg slot armor.

I've made comparisons. Diamond Robe + Wizard Hat is actually bonkers. Plus any leg slot for additional defense.

I just did the numbers and jungle legs + diamond robe +magic hat is insane.
