My month-long ban from the Suggestions is over! Here is my first suggestion since my ban: new post armor sets.
Right now, there are 4 Events that are significant in game advancement (not required, but helpful) after Plantera is defeated. Those are the Frost Moon, Pumpkin Moon, Solar Eclipse, and Martian Madness (Post-Golem). Of the events, 2 of them have a furniture crafting material, and 1 of them can be used to make an armor set, the Spooky armor. But I think that each of these could have a fun little armor set of their own:
First off, the Spooky armor. Yes, it already exists, but I think it needs an enhancement to make it more fun, because it is harder to get yet worse than the Tiki Armor. So I think the set bonus should be modified. The set bonus should include a new buff, as well as keeping the original
The new buff could be this:
Getting hit releases 4 bats (from the bat scepter) and inflicts the "Spooky Rush" buff for 3 seconds, increasing movement and attack speed by 30% for both the player and the minions.
Martian armor
Martian Conduit Plating already exists, and has all of the things that Spooky Wood has, except for armor. So, I have of course proposed the following Armor Set.
Martian armor, crafted: 750 martian conduit plating
Overall defense: 28
Increases Magic Damage by 18%
Increases Magic Crit Chance by 20%
Increased Movement Speed by 10%
Set Bonus: All Laser Gun weapons cost 0 mana
This makes Martian armor an improvement to the Meteor armor, as both would make the Space Gun 0 mana. However, the Martian armor is based around the Laser Machinegun, which is also obtainable from this event. Since the LMG already has a low mana cost for this point in the game, that's where the 30% damage increase comes to make up for it.
Jolly armor
The Frost Moon can be seen as the "Twin" of the Pumpkin moon, both occur at night, must be summoned manually, and progress in waves. So why does the Frost moon not have a crafting material? Even if there wasn't an armor for it there should at least be furniture. So, there would be Chrismetal, dropped by SANTA-NK1s-which would also be used to make Christmas Bullets-and Pine Plasm, dropped by Everscreams, which could also make a furniture set
Jolly armor, crafted: 54 Chrismetal and 90 Pine Tree blocks
Overall defense: 58
Increases Melee damage by 25%
Increases Melee speed by 15%
Increases Crit Chance by 10%
Set bonus: Hitting an enemy has a small (10%) chance to give the player the "Jolly" buff, increasing melee damage and critical chance by 15%, for 3 seconds
Eclipse armor
The Solar Eclipse armor set will be the final of my suggestions for these armors, and it is a very similar event to the Moons, except for the fact that it is in daytime and there is no progress bar. Regardless, there should be an armor set, made out of Solar Tablet Fragments, as well as a new crafting material, Solar Stones, dropped from all post-plantera Eclipse enemies and Mothron post-plantera. Solar Stones would additionally have a furniture set.
Eclipse armor, crafted: 54 solar tablet fragments and 250 Solar Stones.
Overall defense: 43
Increases Ranged damage by 20%
Increases Ranged critchance by 30%
Set bonus: Double tap down to activate "Eclipse mode", increasing movement speed by 100% and much less of a chance for enemies to target you but damage reduction is reduced by 33% and you do 50% less damage.
Side note: Eclipse armor will normally be bright yellow (sun color) with a vibrating effect, but when in eclipse mode all of the armor is black, except for the outline which is glowing orange, similar to the sun during an eclipse.
I am making a mod so I will probably add these in but this is something that should be in the game, not exactly what I said but the general idea of adding in these armors and crafting materials.
-------------------------Edit----------------------------------------------------------
If you have a suggestion for these armors I am all open.
Also there should be a present mimic staff to go along with the other events, dropped from Present mimics randomly. It would function different to other minions so that, when summoned, an enemy needs to be nearby in order for it to attack, similar to normal Mimics

Fixed the Martian Armor defense and set bonus and changed the way Jolly Armor would be obtained.
