Brightshade sword too expensive compared to shadow reaper?

[Frosty_Mentos]

After immediately killing the formidable trio I got about 10 tatters and Shadow Reaper seems to cost only 1 along with 3 pure horror
Compared to components that are needed to make brightshade sword costs 4 pure brilliance and 3 husks to where getting those material may feel safer cause of only partial combat but they require work tools to get and time sink to farm.

There's clear unbalance there from my point of view unless decreasing husks needed for making the sword or increasing dark tatters needed for reaper cause primarily they are weapons with very strong damage

Sword is more expensive but also is better, has bigger DPS (because to use reaper you need void armor and enemy that don't attack too often) and more planar damage, plus bonus damage vs. shadows is more valuable than vs. lunar mobs.

Brightshade hammer is more comparable to the shadow reaper. Its has abit less but still decent damage and 3x the uses as a weapon too if you are wearing brightshade armour.

Oddly enough, it's the opposite for me, those brightshades keep growing out of my farm and I have to deal with it. But to get the shadow stuff I need to willingly descend into the depths of the cave.

Now I'm thinking about moving the farmland away from the base

its more expensive but I'd say it more affordable, with how many brightshades spawn and the lunar rifts appearing pretty frequqently yo can make quite a few in the time you go down to the cave, find a fissure and fight the ink blights
