This is a simple suggestion; Shadowflame Bullets and Shadowflame Spiky Balls. Shadowflame Bullet and Shadowflame Spiky Balls are a hardmode items obtained from any of the Goblins during a hardmode Goblin Invasion. Shadowflame Bullets can be bought from the Arms Dealer after you defeat a Goblin Invasion, and Shadowflame Spiky Balls can be bought from the Goblin Tinkerer after you defeat a Goblin invasion (both from the respective NPC in hardmode).

Thanks. <3

I'm planning on adding more to the thread and making it a Shadowflame thread in general.

Did you make these sprites? They are great!!

Anyways, I think the bullets should be bought from the arms dealer, and the damage should go down a little.

Thank you! I don't think they're excellent, but they're pretty easy to make since they're small.
Your suggestion has been noted as well. <3
 
I like this! But I think the Shadowflame Bullets should be sold by the Wizard or the Arms Dealer, and the Spiky Balls should be sold by the Goblin Tinkerer or the Arms Dealer.

I rather want a shadowflame yoyo/flail/other melee based weapon that needs attention, and that the shadowflame knifes goes tho the throwers

I might do that in another thread, or just make a Shadowflame expansion in general. The melee weapons are a good idea, though. In my opinion, we have enough Yoyos.
 
Cool idea! Altough the crafting for these things you should be significantly nerfed, if all goblins drop up to 10 of these "shadow flame fragments" (Which I think should just be called straight up "shadow flame", like livingflame, cursed flames, etc.) you should change to where it either takes more shadowflame or less musket balls (looks like silver bullets?) to create shadowflame bullets. Otherwise, this should definetley be added! :D

Thanks for the feedback! Can do. <3
I would make fire that looks like Shadowflame, but it looks a little too similar to Demon Fire. If I can work something out, I'll change it. :^)

Well it obvioulsy wouldn't be placable, as there would be no reason with that, cuz it would just look like demon fire. So it doesn't have to look to similar to the flame blocks, maybe more like the bullets.. But more "flamey" if you catch my meaning.

I totally get what you're saying- it's actually what I'm trying to go for. :)

EDIT: There it is! <3

Both the bullets and spiky balls should be cheaper, as they are currently too expensive to be practical to use.

You can craft them with easily-gathered materials. Main material is dropped in stacks of 2-4 from ANY Goblin enemy (not Goblin Scout).
It's very cheap to craft them instead of buying them. :p
 
No thanks, Shadowflame was simply for 3 weapons to make Goblin Army viable again. It shouldn't be expanded massively.
