Thoughts about the Runemaster class.

We've been discussing on the Discord about it. The goal for me was always to have a true Melee class. Thing with melee in Terraria is that coming to hardmode, it's all about projectiles like everything else in the game. So it's not really melee anymore to this extent. I Love the versatility of Yoyos. It's the best thing in the game! But I feel this gameplay avenue has already been taken by the Clicker class.
I don't think we'll end up creating a brand new super unique class but we'll do it step by step. I want this class to facetank bosses, survive and deals ton of damage like the other ones.
Problem with pure melee is that one has to reach their target and depending on the boss (like the Twins) it can almost be impossible so we will have that in mind, and size/reach of weapon can be a good fix for this (like Yoyos)
Another thing that I want to fix asap is that the Runic Weapons are really just looking like vanilla Melee Weapons but with their unique damage class. It was the goal but this leads to misunderstanding while equipping vanilla items granting power to melee weapons like the Feral Claws or the Magma Stone. Another quick fix we'll do soon is like all the other mods having -Runemaster Class- in the item description as maybe (probably) the runic damage text is not clear enough.

Hey, early on the mod's history you were looking for a simple structure to add to the snow biome that'd play a role akin to the desert's pyramid.

Well, how about making this structure be... Yggdrasil?

Terraria has giant trees made out of living wood or living mahogany blocks, in the forest surface and the underground jungle respectively. Why not do the same thing but for the snow biome? A truly giant tree made of living boreal wood, should be even larger than the giant trees from the surface (trunk thickness could be like 8-10 tiles instead of 4-5 tiles), growing taller and rooting deeper.
 
Interesting idea! I was thinking about this recently of having Yggdrasil in the world but maybe it'll be just a part of it as well, Midgård is either on the tree or the tree is around it.
I will see what I do about it soon enough!.

How do you get frost core items? I just started and don't know where to get them. I'm trying to get the Dvergr Forge.

Frostcore is spawned all over the snow biome. You can see it in a light teal color on the map.

Merge it with frost essence dropped by the Draugr enemies spawned in the ice biome and you'll get frostcore bar.

Thanks a ton! <3

The mod died (put on hold) when 1.4 was released because we decided to wait for a stable version of 1.4 tmodloader.
We restarted working on it this year. So I guess it's not really 2 full years of commitment!
