Change the Cookie Cutter Cap

[Just-guy]

The Cookie Cutter Cap is a pretty mediocre armor due to it's low damage absortion and small upside.

I suggest to make it similar to the Cactus Armor in Shipwrecked, dealing damage to the attacker. As well as increasing it's damage absorption a bit.

what about this thing though

Is a very good helmet. Has almost double durability than the football one and tye damage reduction doesnt apply if you other body part like log suit

Isnt as farmeable as the piggy one but as an extra prize for farming salt and treasure chest isnt bad

That's the joke.

give it worm's armor perks

I just want the chance to cookie cutter shells to rise to 50% or 75% currently its 25% which is just a bleh drop rate imo.

The same thing that differentiates the Bramble Husk and Cactus Armor.

Both deal damage to the attacker, one with an AoE and other only to the attacker, but while the Bramble Husk has less durability and damage absorption than the Cactus Armor, it has more uses outside of combat protecting the wearer from spiky plants and Bramble Traps.

However the Bramble Husk is only available to Wormwood and the Cactus Armor can be crafted by other survivors.

I know, I suggested to change the Cookie Cutter Cap to something similar to the Cactus Armor and I explained what could differentiate it from the Bramble Husk.

Cookie cutter shells are the modern day batilisk wings

no they're not. bat wings have always been good to have. even before the recipe reduction, it was a reliable way for wormwoods to heal using batbat.

when you cook them, they heal 8 hp even before the drop rate increase.

what you said isn't an exaggeration. it's just incorrect.

[Friendly Grass]

Before the buff, you had to kill an average of 33.3 bats in order to obtain enough wings for the bat bat.

I was saying that the cookie cutter shells and cap should be buffed a similar way as were the bat wings and bat.

I think the main perk of the cookie cutter cap is the fact is has so much durability. And it has a relatively cheap crafting recipe (4 shells and 1 rope)

But even with all that, it's outclassed in every way just because of its slightly lower defense.

I agree that it needs some kind of buff and having that sort of "thorns" ability would really suit it and make people actually want to go out and get it. Maybe they would need to make the recipe cost a bit more to help balance it out a bit more.

But giving it the ability to deal damage to the mob that attacked you would make it a good option when considering what armour to use. And I specify option because that's how it should fit in with all the other armour, it should have it's pro's and cons when compared to other alternatives and shouldn't really be meta defining. 

The only question is if it should be stronger or weaker than what wormwood currently has, the fact that it's a headpiece and not a body slot is already different enough. But a lot of items are known for being a "cheaper and weaker alternative to ___". So I feel like this item should also be like that.
