Terraria Ocean expansion Idea By @Baconfry, @Dragrath, @Zesko the Magic Man and later (Wisp), TheQuietBisharp
Thank @Pinelord for the sprites(and some creative imput)
Origonally this began as separate projects however Baconfry organized collaboration in part so that ocean biome weapons could be added.
As of now the following challenges need to be resolved before this can be truly posted.
1)-Finish Gear/crafting (need weapons!) This biome update is to make hardmode Ocean a Post Plantera option for those with RNG issues and need better gear
2)-Sprites
Section in brief(for lazy people)-
-Ocean is lacking compared to other biomes
-Real world oceans full of facinating and exotic creatures
-Ocean harder than other biomes to explore due to water
-Reefstone spawns water when mined below o feet similar to hellstones lava spawning but with an amount of water equal to its volume
-Basult-requires 200 pickaxe power spawns water when mined below o feet
-Powerful enemies and unique hazards ensure the biome will be challenging to hardmode players(scaled to hardmode dungeon)
The ocean is known to be a biome lacking the development of many biomes in Terraria. This suggestion seeks to resolve that by expanding the ocean biome needs an expansion however it faces some unique challenges notably the threat presented by the inability to breathe in deep water and the consequential need for accessories and potions to aid in exploration.
Additionally I have heard many complaints about the lack of exploration in hardmode this suggestion seeks to resolve as many of these issues as possible.
-The notable changes to the ocean would bean expansion underground spreading outward with depth similar to how the underground snow and jungle biomes spread outward on the surface.
-While the undergound ocean can be explored prehardmode and contains some enemies it is difficult to explore prehardmode and will be fairly empty
-To facilitate this change reefstone(better name pending) would be added to serve as a stone counterpart expanding the ocean down to the lava level. Additionally when mined below o feet reef stone would spawn water similar to hellstone. This means that Diving gear and breathing rod will be insufficient to explore the biome. (gills potions aren’t useless anymore!)
A lower area will also spawn below the underground ocean where the lava layer begins. This area would feature a massive open cavern and would be inaccessible pre mech as the primary blocks that make up the biome (basult) would be impossible to mine with less than 200 pickaxe power rendering the biome post mechanical boss.(or they could just not spawn yet?)
Additionally any player sequence breaking in would find all crafting recipes require a Mythril Orichalcum anvil in order to craft and that the enemies spawning are comparable in strength to hardmode dungeon/jungle.

The ocean will also feature its own hazards and enemies to be explored upon later.
Enemy loot (unless otherwise stated all recipes are performed at mythril anvil)
Basal Disk- accessory lets the player attach to walls while attached grants +1 minion capacity bonus fades when not attached
Venom harpoon-used to Craft
Venom Radula
56 melee damage
Functionally identical to KO Cannon (more range, weaker knockback), inflicts Venom
Harpoon weapon?
Generated structures
Shipwrecks-These structures serve as the replacement for underground cabins in the underground ocean inside each shipwreck is a chest as well as some collectables.
(Each chest requires a specific key to open that only drop from Lost Sailors to open.)
Specific loot(Shipwrecks).
Water logged furniture set
Fishron painting
Sunken chest: (need help gear wise )
-Salvage hook-grappling hook
Sharkpedo launcher
Coral Star
(magic weapon)
(Summon weapon)
Sea talisman-pet- summons a whale shark spirit
Eviornmental features
Spiky coral: generates randomly on reef stone deals 100 contact damage to the player. Drops coral when mined.
Clams-background objects they are harmless and can be collected with a pickaxe but there is something similar that isn’t so harmless…
Pots: Found here like other places in Terraria however in addition to glowsticks and other drops for underwater pots they have good chances to drop potions crafted from fish. Also have a boosted chance to drop gills potions as you will need them
sea star
25 ranged damage
acts like shuriken (consumable weapon found in pots in place of shurikens
Bubble trap-an anoxic bubble traps the player and moves up till it hits a surface player takes damage (amount?) triggered by "natural" pressure plates designed to be disguised as coral
Ocean Pearl-crafting ingredient used to make:
Neptunes trident-a unique projectile spear. Has the same length as the trident but spawns a forward moving cyclone that grows smaller as it travels outside of water.(doesn’t weaken in water) Crafted from Trident+Ocean pearl at a mythril/Orichalcum anvil (stats?)
Wave staff-magic weapon-summons a wave that travels across the ground and off screen deals piercing damage high damage and knock back costs 20 mana
Ranged weapon(to fit the triangle need to develop)
-Bivalve staff -summoner staff-summons clams that latch onto enemies(think similar to piranha gun but w/out the auto pursuit on targets)
Chitin-a material I’m thinking it could be used to craft baconfrys Carapiece (accessory +10 defense while standing still) but in needs more crafting than that. Any suggestions?
The abyss
This unique mini biome occurs when the ocean comes to an end at the transition to the lava layer a unique property of the abyss is it would be open similar to hell this region features its own enemies. The borders of this area are made of Basalt a tough black material good for building tough structures (immune to explosives) requires 200 pickaxe power to mine. This area is accessible in hardmode only but holds some goodies unique to here.
Hazards
Black smokers
Passing through these underground structures inflicts blackout and the burning debuff for as long as the player remains in the smoke
Can be collected(because why not?)-only works under water though!
Gear-Toxic ink-Used to craft a magic weapon:
Ink storm features a squirt of ink firing similarly to the aqua scepter and golden shower (basically a post plantera version that lacks the ichor) can inflict poison debuff
Calamari can be crafted into a cooked form and eaten to provide well fed (5 min duration)
Armored Chtin-post Plantera armor ingredient (on to add list but bobbit worm has taken some of its thunder need a bit of inspiration here I think summoner needs it the most)
Shark teeth-Used to craft more shark themed weapons
So far have Sharkrang- literally a boomerang made of shark jaws they chomp down of a victim before returning dealing bonus damage to the last target before the return deals less damage on the return thrown like a chakram, returns like a normal boomerang
shark tooth arrow
damage:17
knockback: 3
chance to break:??
tool tip:chum the water
crafting: shark teeth + 35 wooden arrows at mythril anvil
effect:when it hits an enemy underwater it spawns intangable sharks to home in on enemies(aka horesman's blade/spectre effect but only underwater)
Needle Tooth-ammo ingredient
Needle fang-arrow features a boosted crit ratio to the weapon its fired from (doesn’t stack on multi arrow weapons like Tsunami)
-Needle shot-bullet features a boosted crit ratio to the weapon it’s fired from needles scatter in starburst pattern
Surface:
Sand replaced by ocean sand which has the appearance of bits of shells in it (like a real ocean) must be crafted to get standard sand at a furnace. Shells and other ocean deco will look buried in the sand, and have a chance to spawn when Ocean sand is mined
(many of these were taken from bacon fry's Marine biology thread
Gear
Stingray Barb
A very fast but rather short spear that has a 33% chance of inflicting Venom.
Greater Stingray barb: hardmode version of the prehardmode barb possesses somewhat longer reach (still relativly short) and a 50% chance of inflicting venom
Suction Pad:An accessory that allows the user to cling to background walls by hitting the up directional key. Once attached, you may hit down to fall normally, or space to jump.
Pismire armor(class hybrid armor)
(sprite by Milt69466)
Each piece is crafted using prismire scales and hallowed bars
A classless armor built around the first strike features high offensive bonuses at the penalty of low defense.
+30% crit total
+21% damage for each piece
+2 minion capacity
10% mana cost reduction
10% chance to not consume ammo
10% improved melee speed
Defense 26
By piece:
Prismire Helmet:
7 Defense
+10% crit
+7% damage
10% mana cost reduction
10% chance to not consume ammo
10% improved melee speed
Crafted:16 hallowed bars 4 pismire scales
Prismire Chest
12 Defense
+10% crit
+7% damage
+1 minion
Crafted:22 hallowed bars 5 prismire scales
Prismire Leggings
7 defense
+10% crit
+7% damage
+2 minions
Crafted:16 hallowed bars 4 pismire scales
Set bonus isn't set in stone but will be used for ambush armor
Options(some more advice needed here set bonus two is looking to be the main choice)
Set bonus1: When the user hasn’t attacked an enemy for 5 minutes(arbatraty time right know) they gain a buff that lasts 30 seconds after dealing damage to an enemy This buff grants an additional 50% damage and 21% crit while wearing the armor minions will not attack unless the player has attacked within 30 seconds
Set bonus2: attacks do +50% damage and 21% crit if the target enemy has had full health within x seconds
Other things:
Sharks would as Baconfry sugested drop Shark Gills
-Shark Gills
Slowly restores breath while moving in water. It only kicks in after 2 seconds of movement, though. In real life, all sharks (except bottom dwellers like the Nurse Shark) must continually swim to keep breathing, so that was pretty easy to fit into game balance. 2% drop rate from Sharks.(from Baconfry's Marine Biology thread) This would be a very useful aid to exploreing this improved ocean as breathing isn't easy down there (no air)
-Anchor now found in the underground ocean as a background object
-Coral Furniture crafted at growth accelerator(spawns in water chests)
-Sonar goggles-Tool tip uses sound to see underwater
effect: with these equipped underwater you could see moving silhouettes that try and flee if you approach them catch one and you get a fish from the pool of fish in that environment (basically a more unpredictable alternative method for fishing for those who don't want to perform the fishing minigame by the rules)-Odds of catching what you want are the same regarding the body of water however.
Water Turrent -powerful canon weapon that can only be used under water rare drop(idea by bacon fry)
"Oh yeah, I had a bunch of water-related ideas that spawned off reading a thread by crackshotCerberus. One was a turret that can only be placed on water (being considerably more powerful to compensate). It's just the basic skeleton of an idea, but I think it would be lovely."-Baconfry
items by Zeskiron-not sure what to do w/ some of these but some should make good additions anyone have better ideas to implement them?
lucky bone:
fishing power increase 15%
Fly-fishing Lure(modified by Baconfry)
100% bait power (never runs out)
Crafted: Red Husk, Violet Husk, Cyan Husk, 20 Feathers
Only usable with the Fiberglass Fishing Pole.
To facilitate this change reefstone(better name pending) would be added to serve as a stone counterpart expanding the ocean down to the lave level. Additionally when mined below o feet reef stone would spawn water similar to hellstone. This means that Diving gear and breathing rod will be insufficient to explore the biome. (gills potions aren’t useless anymore!)
The ocean will also feature its own hazards and enemies to be explored upon later.

Remora(link here)
70 HP
Defense 2
Damage 30
Notes: An uncommon enemy in the Ocean biome. They are more likely to be found attached to sharks. Sharks will have a chance to spawn with a Remora attached, which gives them a different sprite), and when such a shark is killed, the Remora is released. Remoras have a 10% chance of dropping a Suction Pad..(courtesy of Baconfry)
Waves: Actually projectile enemies created by a wave spawner enemy that spawns off screen on the surface of the ocean. These waves travel across the surface and crash on the shore, if they hit a player the player takes insane knockback. These waves however deal no damage but are unkillable however disappear upon reaching land. Only one wave is active at a time.
Rough waves-stronger more frequent waves that are dangerous to players these spawn in the ocean during rain. Unlike the pervious several can exist on screen at once. Deal damage to players

Options(some more advice needed here set bonus two is looking to be the main choice)
Set bonus1: When the user hasn’t attacked an enemy for 5 minutes(arbatraty time right know) they gain a buff that lasts 30 seconds after dealing damage to an enemy This buff grants an additional 50% damage and 21% crit while wearing the armor minions will not attack unless the player has attacked within 30 seconds
Set bonus2: attacks do +50% damage and 21% crit if the target enemy has had full health within x seconds
All critters have 5 HP and are passive to the player unless stated otherwise
Surface:
-Clam
Notes:can be used as bait (10%) can drop as an item when digging ocean sand underwater
mussel(Underground)
Notes:stationary
can be used as bait (5%)
hermit crab(surface/underground)
tiny crab(surface)
shrimp(underground)
sea anemone(underground)
Notes: can spawn on walls as well as sea bottom
Anchovy(surface)
Note: Spawns in the surface ocean. Like Baconfry’s Minnow(put link here) when at least one Anchovy is present, their spawn rate becomes quite high. It can be caught with a Bug Net, and either released, stuck in a terrarium/aquarium, or used as bait. (25% power.)
Vent shrimp(critter)
Notes: passive can be caught with the bug net and is not harmed by hazards such as black smokers. 30% Bait power

Other things:
Sharks would as Baconfry sugested drop Shark Gills
-Shark Gills
Slowly restores breath while moving in water. It only kicks in after 2 seconds of movement, though. In real life, all sharks (except bottom dwellers like the Nurse Shark) must continually swim to keep breathing, so that was pretty easy to fit into game balance. 2% drop rate from Sharks.(from Baconfry's Marine Biology thread) This would be a very useful aid to exploreing this improved ocean as breathing isn't easy down there (no air)
-Anchor now found in the underground ocean as a background object
-Coral Furniture crafted at growth accelerator(spawns in water chests)
-Sonar goggles-Tool tip uses sound to see underwater
effect: with these equipped underwater you could see moving silhouettes that try and flee if you approach them catch one and you get a fish from the pool of fish in that environment (basically a more unpredictable alternative method for fishing for those who don't want to perform the fishing minigame by the rules)-Odds of catching what you want are the same regarding the body of water however.
Water Turrent -powerful canon weapon that can only be used under water rare drop(idea by bacon fry)
"Oh yeah, I had a bunch of water-related ideas that spawned off reading a thread by crackshotCerberus. One was a turret that can only be placed on water (being considerably more powerful to compensate). It's just the basic skeleton of an idea, but I think it would be lovely."-Baconfry
items by Zeskiron-not sure what to do w/ some of these but some should make good additions anyone have better ideas to implement them?
lucky bone:
fishing power increase 15%
Fly-fishing Lure(modified by Baconfry)
100% bait power (never runs out)
Crafted: Red Husk, Violet Husk, Cyan Husk, 20 Feathers
Only usable with the Fiberglass Fishing Pole.
Any advice to improve this is welcome!
