Wurt Skill Tree Ideas

[MrMNWorm]

Got some Wurt skill tree ideas I thought I would toss into the mix... see what kind of brainstorming comes of it.

STAT BUFFERS

King's Appetite
- Increase Merm King's Hunger +25
- Increase Merm King's Hunger +50
- Increase Merm King's Hunger +75

This would add 150 more Hunger for the Merm King. From what I currently understand, the Merm King has 200 Hunger and with full Hunger and Health will perish after 10 Days if no feedings or attacks happen. This would add another 6 Days to that count total, so a player could effectively feed him only once during Summers and Winters without worry. These numbers can definitely be adjusted but the main point is "add more Hunger to the MK so he doesn't require as much maintenance".

Swamp Speedster
- Increase Marsh Turf speed boost 2.5%
- Increase Marsh Turf speed boost 2.5%
- Increase Marsh Turf speed boost 5%

This would add a total of 10% more speed to Wurt's Marsh Turf speed boost. From what I currently understand that number is 7.8 and the base speed is 6. So 10% more would add another .6 to that 7.8, making it a total of 8.4 which is the same as the base speed for WereGoose or WX with two Super Acceleration Circuits... which isn't too crazy but useful if you like speed boosts. The Marsh is her home... I say let her fly in it.

Tactical Tentacles
- Increase Tentacle Spike uses to 125
- Increase Tentacle Spike uses to 150
- Increase Tentacle Spike uses to 175

I always saw the Tentacle Spike as the weapon of choice for Wurt to use... so this would make it more appealing for Wurt players. It would bump the total damage it can do from 5100 to 8925... and we could bump that up even a little further if we stacked it with something from this next branch.

A-FISH-CIONADO

Since fish are sacred to the Merms, maybe we could give some of the other Ocean Fish perks like the Scorching Sunfish has... but just for Wurt. Here are some ideas:

- Golden Koi: increases durability of TOOLS (like Honey Crystals do)
- Dappler Koi: increases durability of WEAPONS (like Wigfrid's sonnet does)
- Bloomfin Tuna: increases Wetness Protection... to like... 100%... maybe? Still susceptible to lightning strikes.  
- Fallounder: Buffs Defense (like Garlic Spice does)
- Dandy Lion or Sweetish Fish: Buffs Attack Damage (like Pepper Spice does)

- If a player unlocks ALL of the A-fish-cionado skills it will unlock a skill that grants Wurt the ability to craft and read Angler's Survival Guide. If chosen, it will no longer give her sanity when read, it now costs her sanity to use like Wicker and Maxwell.

- If a player unlocks ALL of the A-fish-cionado skills AND the Angler's Survival Guide crafting/ability skill... then... and this is long shot... they unlock the 2 Eels + Tentacle Spike ONLY = a little electrical damage buff skill. It wouldn't have to be FULL electrical damage... just a little... and it would require 7 skill points to obtain. That would be awesome... just think about it.

Also, individual fish can't stack the perk they give. So players can't have 10 Dandy Lion Fish and do unreal damage but they COULD utilize up to 3 or 4 different fish-perks at once. For instance, if it was Winter, you could use the Scorching Fish, the Fallounder, Dappler Koi, and a Dandy Lion all at once while fighting the Deerclops.

IF this were to be one of Wurt's branches, then players might like some cute, new boats to go sailing and fishing with...

CRAFTABLES

Quick preface, I'd love to see Wurt be able to build lily pad looking boats using reeds, kelp fronds, and bull kelp stocks, but how these would actually function is open for discussion. Are they stationary floating bridges? Are they boats that have some perks like extra speed (like a Wooden Oar does the speed of a Driftwood Oar) or could absorb impacts better (meaning they don't get leaks as easily)? Maybe a lily flower grows in the middle of them and you can add Lightbulbs to it for light...? How they exactly function, I'm not sure... but I do know that some Lily Pad Boat-Bridges would look awesome for Swamp Bases. Personally I would want them to be stationary as I would mainly use them as boat-bridges. I'm sure there are others who would want them to be full on boats, either way, they would basically be re-skinned versions of boats/grass rafts.

- Lil Lily Pad Rafts: 3 Reeds + 3 Kelp Fronds + 1 Bull Kelp.
- Large Lily Pad Boats: 6 Reeds + 6 Kelp Fronds + 1 Bull Kelp

Now if they were boats that can move... then maybe they would use Boards instead of the Bull Kelp. We'll let the Devs decide, IF they like the idea that is...

Another thing I would like for Wurt to have is a Little Library, which is basically a swamp-y looking version of the those book exchange/free library boxes you see by people's mailboxes.

- Little Library: 2 Living Logs + 2 Reeds + 3 Twigs = a 4 Slot mini-Bookcase that regens her books. Wurt does like books and I'm making some suggestions that would allow her to craft a few books on her own, so this might be nice for her to do.

Finally for craftables, what if Wurt could make some Swamp Armor using Reeds, Tentacle Spots, and Bone Shards. These might have some perks that include Wetness Defense (since Spots are used for Rain Gear) and... HP Leeching if you wear both sets of the armor. Mosquitoes live in the swamp... they leech HP... and many games have Bone Armor or Weapons that also leech HP... so this isn't a huge stretch of the imagination. Just something that adds a fun new armor set + mechanic to the Swamp Princess.

- Bone Shard Crown Cowl: 2 Tentacle Spots + 3 Bone Shards + 2 Reeds
- Bone Shard Breastplate: 4 Tentacle Spots + 2 Bone Shards + 4 Reeds

If she or a player wears both, they get an HP Leeching perk + Wetness Protection. A good downside might be they only have like 75% damage reduction with like 600 HP.

MERM VILLAGE UPGRADES

This where we take some ideas from CotL and the other Wurt posts.

Picture a Craftsmerm House that can be upgraded, each of these houses now has a 3-slot window that will open to accept upgrade materials.

- Merm-maid House: By adding 3 Boards (or 6 or 9) to a Craftsmerm House, a little Chest (or 2 or 3) gets added to the structure (like in CotL) and now if a player plants Saplings, Grass Tufts, Stone Fruit Bushes, or Reeds within a 1.5-2 tile radius around that Merm-maid House... the Merm inside will start collecting the resources and fill the Chest(s) with the resources. The Merm-maid does NOT re-fertilize and will stop collecting once the chest(s) is/are filled.

- Culimermian House: By adding 3 Cut Stones + 6 Charcoal + 6 Sticks to a Craftsmerm House, a little Crockpot gets added... and the only thing the Merm Chef wants to cook are Durian Dishes. So the Chef won't come to cook unless a Durian plus the required ingredients for the dishes are added to the Crockpot.

Here are some actual Durian dishes I found that would work the like Bunnymen Event dishes: one for Hunger, one for Health, one for Sanity, and one that's an All Around dish. Could more be added, sure... these are just a few ideas.

1. Hunger Dish - Durian Salad: 1 Durian + 1 Stone Fruit + 2 Kelp Fronds
2. Health Dish - Durian Fritters: 1 Durian + 2 Corn + 1 Berry
3. Sanity Dish - Durian Ice Cream: 1 Durian + 1 Electric Milk + 2 Ice
4. All Around - Durian Tacos: 1 Durian + 1 Stone Fruit + 1 Onion/Toma root + 1 Corn

The stats would be something like better versions of Beefy Greens, Waffles, Ice Cream, and Fish Tacos... but we don't need to worry about that right now.

AFFINITIES

- Shadow: Wurt can craft and read On Tentacles
- Lunar: Wurt can craft and read Sleepytime Stories

She loses the ability to gain sanity from these and they now cost sanity per use.

OR...
- Shadow: Wurt can spawn Baby Tentacles using a Tentacle Spike
- Lunar: Can Harvest extra Stone Fruit from Stone Fruit Bushes (kinda sucks... but does fit the Lunar motif)

 

So there's a 24-slot skill tree (25 IF the 2 Eels + Tentacle idea gets added) and (I think) these would add some pretty fun/cool game changers to Wurt. Thanks for reading all that, it was a big one... and have a great day!

do you mind if I write down what I think is good in your concept, and what is worse and in my opinion will not work? for these moments, I will offer an alternative. it's just that I don't want my words to be taken with negativity, because you and I appreciate Wurt

[flamboyant wolf]

I think it would be cool if merm maids would also feed the king with appropriate items in their storage/inventory, if he's in their range, so you could semi automate king feeding process by planting some berry bushes/kelp around a king and placing a few merm maid huts near him. 

Also we need fishermerms, just cause. 

oh, also also, would be nice to have some skills related to king trades, like new items added to the pool or overall better trades. 

[MrMNWorm]

@Creatorofswamps by all means, fire away. I post these to brainstorm/get feedback from the forums.

@skile I did have a couple versions of the Merm King branch and maybe 150 Hunger is a lot. So maybe one slot for like 50+ Hunger, one for Increased Items from trades and then one for... "blank" (whatever else).

POND Fisher Merms was an idea I thought about, and I know a lot of people wanted Farmer Merms, Fisher Merms, and even Fire Merms... but those seem a little "development intensive" aka would get shot down by the Devs. So I'm shooting for easy/entry level stuff the Devs could pull off without a ton of work. Merms that could collect and cook stuff seems pretty easy... and... it's on the Devs radar if that interview with Devolver Digital is accurate. I did think about a Feeder Merm but went with the Increased Hunger Branch, since it's easier to implement.

Merms who could fish ponds doesn't seem too bad because they just need a pond and a rod, but Ocean Fishing or Farming gets a little tricky. Like just the amount of stuff a Farmer Merm needs is a lot: Digamajig, Hoe, Seeds, maybe fertilizer, a Watering Can, and an Ice Box or Salt Box... that's a lot of stuff to figure out. And Ocean Fishing needs bait and bobbers... plus the time of day effects those things... so I'm aiming for "simple but helpful".

Just to clarify.

[Masked Koopa]

I really would rather we not get any 3 tier skills they just waste space on the tree that could have been given to unique skills.

Me when my mighty skill tree has 2 skills with 5 tiers and 2 skills with 3 tiers because im a boring character with a boring character loop so I just needed a boring skill tree.

I used to LOVE a mod that spawned lily pad boats around the swamp but it broke with a major boat update. I would absolutely love this, and just general sailing skills for Wurt being the most affiliated with water.

[MrMNWorm]

@Dextops I do struggle a bit with Affinity option ideas...

Maybe for Shadow Alignment she could summon Baby Tentacles while using a Tentacle Spike, like a Thulecite Club does.

And then for Lunar Alignment... she could... hmmm... sheee cooould... get more Stone Fruit from the Stone Fruit Bushes...?

And if she chooses the moon, she will use a spikes to summon lunar spikes ( broken spiders). this is the first thing that came to mind

@Creatorofswamps The Lunar Alignments are tricky aren't they...

Once on the forum, they suggested that when Wurt chooses lunar and shadow perks, shadow and lunar fish will appear (then I tried to create them). In fact, if we just sit down and think, we can come up with a lot of things

[ShadowDuelist]

I really like all suggestions! I’d only tweak that she shouldn’t NEED another character’s item (the wicker book) to continue advancing on her skills, it should be an optional flavor thing.

Unless she learns to craft a merm version of the book (which could be a lesser version). Wurt could very well be on the path to become a swamp warrior-shaman, based on her cultural inheritance and wicker’s teachings.

I'm talking about this and not only, I've been trying to write for the second day in a row, but because of my work and a stupid translator, everything was delayed

《On the one hand, a small library for wurt is cute and original. But on the other hand, I don't want Wurt to be able to create books with a Wickerbottom. So, Wurt can make it so that Wurt can write her 4 books that would be more effective, but they worked. For example, the tale of the swamp, which will give one tentacle, one Mosquito and will allow 4 reeds to grow nearby, has 3 uses and is spent on 50 rasudka per application

The book "At the behest of the pike"

When reading, 1 big fish and 2-3 small fish are called》

Then I'll write to the end, there will be a full-fledged opinion about everything

These are interesting... might be cool to see something like these appear in oceans after the rifts appear.

And then what if she could craft Swamp Scrolls instead of books... scrolls maybe have a one-time use mechanic and could stack... so the books are good because they can regen and the scrolls are good because you could stack them up to 10... but they're downside is they require a lot of resources to keep making them. Just tossing out some ideas after the reading the other posts... scrolls might be a fun option versus books.

Look forward to seeing what you're cooking up CreatorofSwamps!

Scrolls are a good idea. But for me, Wurth's personal books show a good dynamic in the development of relations with Wickerbottom

- Fallounder: Buffs Defense (like Garlic Spice does)
- Dandy Lion or Sweetish Fish: Buffs Attack Damage (like Pepper Spice does)

- If a player unlocks ALL of the A-fish-cionado skills it will unlock a skill that grants Wurt the ability to craft and read Angler's Survival Guide. If chosen, it will no longer give her sanity when read, it now costs her sanity to use like Wicker and Maxwell.

- If a player unlocks ALL of the A-fish-cionado skills AND the Angler's Survival Guide crafting/ability skill... then... and this is long shot... they unlock the 2 Eels + Tentacle Spike ONLY = a little electrical damage buff skill.

I am not a fan of giving Wurt skills that give her Wickerbottom upsides and i believe they should be removed, and the merm king and marsh turf skills can be replaced with other skills since they are a waste of skill points since the merm king already lasts 10 days, and the buffs are so insignificant. The marsh turf could be 1 skill that gives a larger total buff. The merm king skill does not work mechanically

 

The other skills are neat though

 

 

[Dr.Webber]

I think it would became merm queen and what if instead of crafting something that already exist in Wickerbottom’s crafts what if instead she can craft shadow/lunar versions of the merm village stuff that spawn shadow/lunar merms/merm guards 

[Creatorofswamps]

@Creatorofswamps by all means, fire away. I post these to brainstorm/get feedback from the forums

King's Appetite

on the one hand, yes, this is a good idea, but the final ability is a little lacking. For example, when there are all 3 branches, it will change the appearance of the king of the mermaids (it may be thicker) or, for example, for being fully fed, he will create a guard who will temporarily walk behind the Wurt

Swamp Speedster

In my opinion, it is too poor to give a separate branch. For example, you can give extra acceleration in the swamp to the bone-marsh armor that you offered below (+ this will allow other players to speed up in the swamp at the expense of armor)

Tactical Tentacles

This is what I really like, I created the concept of a thorn branch, I think additional damage (as in terraria) and the possibility of getting a thorn from the king will greatly brighten up this branch of skills

A-FISH-CIONADO

This is also a good idea, but it is very difficult for balance + a few fish give buffs that are not directly related to them. And I'll tell you about the books below. I suggest replacing this tab with a tab 

Our smaller brothers

• extreme sewing:

allows you to use Needlenosed Squirt as a sewing kit, BUT when changing it, half of its freshness is spent. and Wurt spends 30 of his mind (it's a bit strange, but it's a good joke + benefit)

•Frogs are friends too:

Allows Wurt to lift frogs the same way Weber does with spiders. she also gets reason from her and cannot be fed.if you give it to the king, he will give in exchange his usual loot + saltpeter 

•Electricity from the depths:

As long as you have Eel in your inventory, each of your 3 attacks will be electric. This is very logical and easier 

•Fish soledarity

: sharks will not attack the boat if there is a wurt

•A good bag is a living bag

 this is the final ability of the branch over which I'm not sure, but tell me how you like it.Now you can open the mouth of the Black Catfish and put 4 items (although he eats food)

CRAFTABLES

Lilies are a nice idea, but I'm not sure what to do with them myself. Or like a bridge. Or like lilies from Hamlet. But what about the boat. You can make a bog boat, it's a mixture of grass and ordinary. It is slightly less herbal. It cannot leak, but it does not permanently lose its strength. You can also add a bumper made of tentacles. It will cause damage to creatures and well-cut rocks.

Little Library

Everything is complicated here. On the one hand, a small library for wurt is cute and ingenious. But on the other hand, I don't want Wurt to be able to craft Wickerbottom books,it is better to make it so that wurt could make her 4 books that would be less effective, but they worked! 

swamp Beasts and Where to Find Them,

prizavet one tentacle, one mosquito, 1 spider, 2 crows , has 3 uses and spent 50 rasudka per application

The book At the Pike's Behest

When reading, 1 big fish and 2-3 small fish are called upon, it has 4 uses and spends 33 rasudka

The Tale of the Turnip

allows wurt to grow 1 huge vegetable, spends 82 sanity and has 2 uses

A collection of merfolk stories 

Summons a shaman's merm, he appears for 1 day (maybe only 1 in the world) can shoot darts like MacTusk, and will also dance by the campfire. When he dances, the folk music of the mermaids plays, and if you use the emotion of the dance, the reason will increase. And the more players dance, the more reason is given.( yes, it 's a little difficult, but it reveals the people of mermaids well ) spends 80 reasoning 3 applications

Bone Shard Crown Cowl,

Bone Shard Breastplate

I like the idea for a personal armor wurt, it's a podchepkivt Wurt because she loves jewelry made of braid and mermaids use the skin of schyupayets. But she should only make armor, she does not need a separate orge, as this will overshadow the spike of the tentacle. And the ability of armor, I offer to give another one. She will speed up those who run through the swamp, that is, and ordinary characters, and wurt will run a little faster than now (this will replace the acceleration perk on the swamp that you wrote above)

 

 

Merm-maid House

This is a good idea , I love it

Culimermian House

Honestly, I don't think that a merm povor is a good idea. I think it won't work from the word at all.

At the expense of houses, I want there to be more houses for separate mermaids. For example, a hiking merm. You give him food (a lot), he leaves for 3 days and brings separate resources from the constant. Merm digger of stumps, will produce a blow with a shovel on the stump thereby digging it out.(personal digging of stumps is very infuriating :D) merm is a fisherman, he will fish on lakes and only if he is fed. Can catch a special rare freshwater fish. And many more ideas. Also, the idea of the final branch of buildings is an idol of an ancient god, 2 mermaids will sit next to him with their eyes closed and while they are sitting with him, all mermaids get 15% armor

Shadow: merma get through protection and attack as well as merma can now beat shadows

Lunar:merma receive through-protection and attack as well as merma now I can raise my mind when they are nearby

I can offer a more insane version of the moon and shadow: 

 

Shadow: The tuletsityvy golem of mermaids

Wurt will be able to create a tuletsityvy golem of merms (only 1) it will be much stronger than a normal merm, has through protection and damage. If you kill him , he will recover in 2 days . Sometimes when attacking, it will release shadow tentacles like an ancient guardian) follows the molule of affection (it's like an eye on the bones of Chester) 

Lunar: a wurt can create a lunar mutogen, if you feed it for a while, the merm mutates into a lunar monster, the damage is greater than that of a golem, but the mutation effect is temporary, as it puts the victim to sleep with 3 attacks.

yes I understand that this is difficult but as an idea why not

I had a lot of problems, my opinion was delayed, if something is unclear because of a bad translator, write to me, I will explain what I meant!

@MrMNWorm special thanks to you for this post

I am not a fan of giving Wurt skills that give her Wickerbottom upsides and i believe they should be removed, and the merm king and marsh turf skills can be replaced with other skills since they are a waste of skill points since the merm king already lasts 10 days, and the buffs are so insignificant. The marsh turf could be 1 skill that gives a larger total buff. The merm king skill does not work mechanically

@Jakepeng99look at my message in this topic at the expense of Wurts own books, as for me it will show well that Wurt studied well with Wickerbottom)

@Creatorofswamps let me highlight a few items/ideas of yours I like.

1. Needlenosed Fish as a Sewing Kit, that is a pretty cute/funny idea, I like that one.
2. Eels = 3rd hit with electrical damage, that's an improvement from what I suggested.
3. Black Catfish as a bag... that's an interesting idea... not 100% sure about it... but I like where your head is at on that.
4. Affinities that would mutate the Merms into Lunar or Shadow versions of themselves... that's an interesting idea too.

Then I definitely would like to see Wurt be able to do some sort of reading-magic. How it works and what she uses to do it... we will leave to the Developers. Let's just hope they want to see that skill added as well.

Bone Shard Crown Cowl,

Bone Shard Breastplate

I like the idea for a personal armor wurt, it's a podchepkivt Wurt because she loves jewelry made of braid and mermaids use the skin of schyupayets. But she should only make armor, she does not need a separate orge, as this will overshadow the spike of the tentacle. And the ability of armor, I offer to give another one. She will speed up those who run through the swamp, that is, and ordinary characters, and wurt will run a little faster than now (this will replace the acceleration perk on the swamp that you wrote above)

@MrMNWorm I had time today so I created the concept of swamp armor. And I thought about its properties: •1• accelerates the characters on the swamp turf (the Wurt starts running a little faster) •2• increases the damage of the spike of the tentacle by 10

I just thought about something, this armor could be perfect for a three-tailed whip, it can increase its damage by 15-20
