Vortex Robe: Concept for a Void Robe upgrade.

[BabaFisi]

Just like how the Brightshade Armor has its Brambleshade counterpart, I wanted to come up with a concept for an upgrade to the Void Robe, and it takes inspiration from the Vortex Cloak.

I love the idea of the Vortex Cloak in Hamlet. Yes, the Krampus Sack is still better, and the Piggyback is more available, the Vortex Cloak is a lot more logistically obtainable than the former, and beats the latter by granting the same bonus as the Bone Armor in Together, making it effectively an armor. I think an upgrade for the Void Robe should also reference the Vortex Cloak, albeit, a little less powerful:

The Vortex Robe: Gives 80% Protection, and 10 flat Planar Defense, along with granting the player extra 10 inventory slots, but when Broken, will drop to the ground, and cannot be worn again until the player repairs it with a Void Repair Kit. Its contents can still be accessed while dropped, though.

This item would be crafted with a Void Robe, 4 Dark Tatters, and an Ancient Horn (the idea being that the Horn was hollowed out, and is now where items are stored)

This would fill a small, decent niche of being both an Armor and Backpack, without the downside of the rarity of the Krampus Sack or the sluggishness of the Piggyback.

Technically, in Together, it is easier to get the Krampus Sack by save scumming, but I think this idea would help for giving players a better Backpack in the Endgame that’s also Armor.

I’m not too confident in this idea, and I think the abilities I gave it are a bit too boring. Reply if you have a better idea, I’d be glad to listen!

Thanks for Reading!

From what I understand you’re basically copying the vortex cloak from hamlet. If it’s going to give you the bone armor ability you should add that in the recipe then. Maybe instead of that bone protection, an ability I suggest is to maybe have it give you a small speed boost when hit, I don’t now if this is the best ability but since it uses extra dark taters then what if they had a new animation for when your moving fast with the boost on the vortex cloak. Also maybe rename it to the void cloak instead.

No, this concept is basically a downgraded Vortex Cloak, no 100% damage protection. It has all the abilities of the Void Robe, while just having 10 inventory slots. Basically both a Backpack and Armor in one.

I do like the Speed Boost idea, though. The extra Dark Tatters in the recipe are there because I was thinking “These would be used to make the straps to connect the Horn Backpack thing to the back”

I just realized about the straps, maybe another light but backpack material could be used but the guardian horn isn’t a bad idea.
