A life fish is basically an alternative to Life Crystals. When fishing, you would have a 1/150 chance of catching a life fish while in a cavern. This would be very useful on pre-hardmode multiplayer servers; since the number of players that need extra life is higher.
It would be cool if someone could do a sprite for this.

Great suggestion, somehow it appears to have escaped the radar of "Renewable Life Crystals" until now. Its a great way to give more rewards to fishing as well. Since it is in the caverns, the player will have likely explored enough underground to get a few Life Crystals already, and can't just camp on the surface until they get 400 Life theoretically. Its good for single player as well, since it can allow the player to save more Life Crystals for more Heart Lanterns without requiring another world.

I don't think it should be added. One point of heart crystals in the first place is to explore your land, and this alternative negates that.

So do you also think that crates should not contain bars also? So you have to explore the land for ores?

I do believe there should be a better alternative. But usually people start using this for hardmode ores only, and the only reason I support that is because smashing altars also causes corruption to spread. Also, by then you've already discovered so much of your world.

This is a must have.

Sorry for bumping, but it does sound like a good idea. Wouldn't want the world devoid of Heart Crystals if you want players to be able to get hp.

I referenced this idea in the 1.3.1 ideas thread: http://forums.terraria.org/index.ph...terrarian-mechanics.29865/page-72#post-725295

That makes sense

Sure, why not? The 1/150 chance to catch it rate is balanced to avoid abuse of farming, and it could be good when you are running low on heart crystals, but you aren't in the explorer mood.
Support.

Already made a thread about this.
But its nice to see that more people are suggesting this.

Thank you for altering of this

Interesting idea but honestly not a viable one; it takes 15 crystals to hit 400 health, 2250 fish to get max health purely from fish. Seeing as this is an attempt to remedy the fact that multiplayer servers run out of HCs, expecting someone to fish over 2000 times is a little too much.

You could just make the Angler give HCs in return for quest fishes or something. Far less grindy and even when you don't get the HCs you get SOME kind of reward.
