Portfolio/Multi-Topic The Guide's Shop - New items, mechanics, and equipment

[Babygoo25]

The Guide's Shop
Have you ever wanted some good, early-game weapons?
Have you ever wanted early-game equipment that could really help you?
Have you ever wanted stuff from the guide?
Then THIS is the suggestion for you!

The Guide will now have a shop button to the left of his "Help" button once the Brain of Cthulhu/Eater of Worlds is defeated. Or his shop can be empty before they are defeated.

Guide Coins (RECENTLY UPDATED)
"Guide coins? WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?"

Guide coins are coins that drop from enemies, depending on how rare they are.

COMMON = 0-1
UNCOMMON = 1-3
VERY UNCOMMON = 5-10
RARE = 12-36
VERY RARE = 40-50
EXTREMELY RARE = 300
EXTRAORDINARILY RARE = 1,000

Bosses instead use the weak-strong system:

WEAK = 25 - 35
ALMOST AVERAGE = 38 - 50
AVERAGE = 54 - 67
STRONG = 99 - 134
REALLY STRONG = 235 - 478
EXTREMELY STRONG = 1000 - 2000
EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG = 20000 - 55555

Guide coins are used to buy....

[Petre10]

Now I'm supporting the idea. Thanks for listening to me.

// Question: should I delet the previous comment?

You can if you want.

 

[Petre10]

You can if you want.

I've deleted it.
One ideea to make the stick more atractive and worth to buy is when you are attacking the same target with it, it will get an increase damage percentage like the target will get traumatized. Or you could do something else... it's your ideea.

 

[SnailsAttack]

But.. why guide coins? They're just regular coins but they make less sense and take up unnecessary inventory space.

Inflicts debuff "Bleeding" for 5 sec.

Why would a weapon made of cardboard inflict bleeding? Also, bleeding doesn't do anything to enemies.

100 Ash Blocks

Why ash blocks?
Anyways, it just seems like a regular yoyo but more annoying. Why would I use a yoyo that can only move left and right? (and with the player)

1. Well it wouldn't make sense if it inflicted On Fire! or Poisoned...
2. That way you need to go to the underworld to get it.

EDIT: And if the stuff was for real coins, you could buy everything easily.

 

[Babygoo25]

Updated Guide Coin sprite and added a new item!

 

[SnailsAttack]

1. Well it wouldn't make sense if it inflicted On Fire! or Poisoned...

Yeah, so it shouldn't inflict a debuff.

2. That way you need to go to the underworld to get it.

But 100 ash doesn't make any sense in the recipe.

EDIT: And if the stuff was for real coins, you could buy everything easily.

How so? Like I said, guide coins are just like regular coins but they make less sense. They drop from enemies just like normal coins.

Okay, now you're just being plain annoying.

It's MY idea, so I can do what I want to the IDEA which is MINE.
Also, in real life you can actually get hurt by cardboard. So Bleeding makes sense.
And I put the ash so it can be hard to get. It also requires 1000 guide coins, which requires a lot of farming.
Also, remember:

IT'S MY IDEA.

also just because it's your idea doesn't mean i'm not allowed to give you constructive criticism

this is the suggestions forum after all

 

[The TechnoMancer]

Some of this doesn't make sense, but okay... Why not?

 

[Flashstriker]

You know, i did like this idea. Then i saw how you dealt with @SnailsAttack . He is a respected member of the Suggestions forums, and has lots of good ideas, as you can see in his Signature. If he suggests something, you should probably do more about it than say

IT'S MY IDEA.

 

[Flashstriker]

Having thought more about it however, i realise a way this could be improved. If you did his tips that he gives you (Build a house, House Nurse/Merchant/Arms Dealer etc.) then he gives you some Guide Coins
