Bird Up Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Just a thought I had today. This thing is almost never used outside of late late game servers that are more so permanent. The strident trident is only craftable by killing crab king and getting the blueprint. Crab king is a very powerful boss and I don't see the strident trident being so powerful that it needs to be boss locked. This, on top of the fact that almost no one will have 3 gnarwail horns at any point means you never see it in use. I think one solution would be to make gnarwails spawners more predictable. Perhaps a swarm of them could be summoned by the mega flare outside of winter. Otherwise, give gnarwails a biome so they can be found consistently. I don't think that removing its boss locked status will make it see more use because the recipe is too tedious to craft, and I don't think the recipe needs changed because it would render gnarwails more so just a pest, rather than a means to acquire something cool like this trident. So I think gnarwails should be more predictable and farmable.

grm9 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 it'd still be useless because the only bosses you fight on water are malbatross and crab king and there's no reason to kill either of them more than once Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152603-issue-with-strident-tridents-effective-use-in-normal-gameplay/#findComment-1681577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spino43 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 The weapon is god awful. Even if gnarwails can be farmed (you can with wicker's fish books) and the strident can be crafted without beating crap king (can also do this with a RNG klaus kill), it's damage potential is pathetic. 68 damage only on boats and 27.2 on land? I am speaking this item on the weapon utility, because the other uses are actually useful. You can clear tons of sea stacks and EASILY farm massive amount of live fish with it and wicker's dock fish farm.

arubaro Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 people saying that is useless... what a peasant. It comes in handy to fish, fight sharks, other gnarwhales and pirates, you can use sails at maximum speed and cleaning all the rock turds in your way, farm salt, unroot kelp... is a good tool and range weapon, it just needs higher stats like how they treat malbatross oar getting 2 gnarwales horns isnt hard (green amulet) and once you have them you dont have to worry about farming more since you can deconstruct it to craft a fresh one Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/152603-issue-with-strident-tridents-effective-use-in-normal-gameplay/#findComment-1681630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
