(Also if the team has a heart fit on shower being resurrection, can you pay with the same?

Could someone give suggestions on the parts that I’m having trouble with 

[jihuang1424]

我认为鱼人要加怕火特性。

鱼人祭坛加速复活可以换成加鱼人的属性

鱼人祭坛贡品换成宝石，宝石可以加鱼人属性，每颗宝石都是不一样的.然后延长鱼人复活时间，让鱼人有薄弱期。

How do you think the quake power should be implemented?

I don't know, but being able to cause quakes (I suppose this means earthquakes?) sounds like a allmighty-mighty ability. I am not sure if this wouldn't be too much strength. But then I don't know in comparison to other skill trees since I usually avoid playing with them.

never mind I realized that the quakes that the gnaw causes are probably caused by the size of the gnaw rather then a power, looking for alternatives

Related question What mobs would it not be unbalanced to give the likeness of the gnaw?

I fear I don't know the full list of mobs yet that exist in DST to make up my mind on this. Maybe someone else has an idea. The only animal that comes to my mind would be the depthworms. But what exactly was the question referring to? Maybe I missunderstood it.

So the only power I can think of is how the gnaw turns things into merms and give more creative liberty+ The blackfly transformation would contradict that if it was just merms I opened it up to the likeness of the gnaw 

Also, by the way that there is a bunch of lore that we probably don’t me to get into

the lore became awfully confusing to me once forge and gorge were added to the game. (at that time I wasn't playing DST at all). So I fear I can't find anything that makes sense for those at all.

But is it the look of the gnaw your have trouble with or is it finding mobs that wouldn’t be overpowered to turn into allies  through the transformation

No actually none of those! I didn't know you were searching for other allies then the Merms you mentioned. I thought the problem was still revolving around the earthquake thing. So your question this time was actually considering whether follower merms should become affected by the gnaw's blessing or not? I fear I don't know enough about skilltrees and wurt to know what exactly a blessed merme follower would be, in comparison to before the 2nd blessing of the gnaw happened. Sorry, I fear I am no help. I thought this ideas on what COULD be added to the game was interesting to read and just wanted to mention that being able to summon earthquakes sound a little too powerful to be an ability to aquire, that was all, actually.

No, what I meant was I wanted to the same power that turned the goat people and swamp pigs into merms on other creatures to make new mobs separate from the merms and the original species to be your allies

Now I get it! OK, then maybe then one could turn tentacles into fireflies. I know this sounds like underwhelming in comparison, but having fireflies following without the need of using a bugnet and spending inventory space could be a little useful after all. (Just the transformation obviously wouldn't look as awesome as the turning into a merm one.) Plus cleaning the swamp from hostile tentacles to make it safer for fellow survivors.

I was actually thinking if I were to use it on tentacles I’d probably use it to make the unimplemented root tentacle but friendly 

But also, there are a few problems to have one icon make the mobs that get turned mobile, also what is a root of it doesn’t seem very gnaw like

But good start, any other ideas?

Hmm I don't know if it can be made possible to turn static mobs into mobile mobs, but maybe if not the tentacles, could then maybe instead of turning a mob into a firefly, could the gnaw make it possible to have fireflys spawn from wurt-selected mosquito ponds? So if wurt gains the blessing of the gnaw, could she get an option that along side "examining" the pond, she could turn it into a firefly-spawning pond instead (maybe additional to the mosquitos to not make mosquitos disappear entirely)

The first gnaw alter skill already turns mosquito spawns into black fly spawns

Sorry that was my mistake. I missread it as the black flys being additional to mosquitos (once again my brain hasn't got sleep for days)

Don’t worry, I have insomnia too. I get it.

So, so far I thought of two things where they also have problems alongside them 

1. Been able to perform the curse on pond fish to create merm pups(they grow two pairs of frog legs scales turn green. Those fans are at the side of merm’s head grow on their head and they act like dogs that will fight for you) the two problems with this one is it’s based off theory I disagree with where the guy said that how was created was by performing the same curse on a fish and that’s how merms reproduce when I believe that they just do it the old-fashioned way if you know what I mean? Two  logistically they’d probably be super weak and I don’t think wurt or any other merm would subject their pet fish to that kind of danger.

The other idea I got from you using the power on depth worms to Turn them into depth wyrms ( there fur will turn to scales and will be green with the mouth of the gnaw) the problem with this is they might be too overpowered, and I can’t think of a way to transport them between shards

@NPCMaxwellHey what’s the wavy for

The wavy in my case means a friendly waving shadow hand. (because you told me you get my trouble with insomnia)

Those sound like two creative new creatures to add, but the problem with depth worms / wyrms being incredibly powerful would still be a thing, indeed. About the merm puppies....that would be more like a critter-follower then? Critter followers are immune to damage as far as I remember, so it wouldn't be "actual" danger for the pet fishies.
