Posessed Atrium crafts are now locked behind 2 fuelweaver kills, adding the 20-day gateway cooldown to the time to obtain them.

In this beta, I've had a lot of fun doing runs where I fight multiple tier 3 shadow pieces (usually 2 rooks) on night 21, then kill fuelweaver in winter and get the nightmare saddle or shadow maul in late winter, to then continue the run.

With the latest patch, that first possessed atrium now comes in late spring, after 20 days of waiting and a repeat fight. I'd rather not have to wait that long - it feels like an extra 20 days for no real reason.

I suggest making reset chests spawn mimics if you reset the ruins via giving Charlie the dreadstone right away. This way, those of us that want to be rewarded for getting multiple hearts can access the atrium crafts in the first winter, but anyone not wanting to activate mimics immediately doesn't have to deal with them.

 

p.s. thank you for fixing the issue with no blights spawning from the first rift!

I can kind of get why it's like this for the maul, but it's very unfortunate that a simple Beefalo revive takes 3 kills of the shadow pieces to obtain your first of. I agree that it'd be better if the ornery mimic chests spawned when first activating shadow rifts, rather than needing an extra kill.
