Items Small rebalance to honeyfins and restoration potion.

[Cobaltrix]

In late pre-hardmode there are two alternatives to healing potions, the restoration potion, which heals 90 hp, but with a shorter cooldown, and the honeyfin, which heals 120 hp, with a normal cooldown.

Both of the these on average heal the same amount

Restoration potion: 90 hp every 45 seconds=120 hp a minute
Honeyfin: 120 hp every minute

Despite both healing the same, restoration potions are much easier to obtain, with you usually getting all that you need from shadow chests, plus they can be crafted pre skeletron. Honeyfins, on the other hand, have to be gotten from honey fishing, which is one of the most annoying activities you can do in this game.

So I just to either:

Nerf the restoration potion slightly:
90 hp -> 85 hp

Or

Buff the honeyfin slightly:
120 hp -> 130 hp

This would make the honeyfin actually worth grinding for, rather than just something you get while trying to catch bumble bee tuna for the angler.

The problem is that Restoration Potions require Pink Gel to be crafted. You won't have many of them pre-Skeletron most of the time. And Honeyfins can be caught at literally any point in any playthrough as long as you have bait and a fishing rod, which is always achievable pre-boss. I think they're balanced.
