New Item / Item Update / Mutated Antlion Boss Concepts

[Ninja Blue Jay]

Item / Mob Changes

• Beefalo Gloom Bell prevents loss of domestication progress

• Pirate Banners on ships reduces chances of pirate raids

• Brightshade mob cap (20 to 50 perhaps?)

• Shadow Umbralla opens when dropped (similar to lanterns)

• Stackable figure sketch’s and shell bells

New Item Ideas

• Giant Crockpot (allows multiple ingredients in the same slot, able to do bulk cooking)

• Waxed Seed Pack-It (Fully prevents crop seeds from rotting instead of needing bundling wrap)

• Scrappy Werepig Figure Sketch

Upgraded versions of the Thermal Stone that have unlimited durability and longer lasting thermal effects, but can only cool and heat respectively

Frosty Brightstone

• Pure Brilliance + Iridescent Gem + Desert Stone

• Looks like Pure Brilliance sphere with glowing cracks (emitting frost depending on coolness level) and small spikes

Flickering Nightstone

• Dreadstone + Chilled Lavae + Desert Stone

• Looks like dreadstone sphere with glowing veins (with small flames that reflect temperature) and small spikes

New Boss Idea

Mutated Antlion

• When fed either new stone, mutates into a lunar or shadow variant

• Both forms gain new planar attacks and sand pillars / spikes are replaced with Ryftstal or Dreadstone

• Lunar variant uses cold attacks while Shadow variant uses flame attacks

• Creates thermal zones similar to Klaus’s deer (possible small ones around pillars / spikes)

[Well-met]

cool ideas except buffing the shadow bell again

I like the pirate banner idea. The mutated antlion idea is also very good, and adds a lot of depth to a boss that people otherwise despise. It should be very challenging, moreso than the ink blights, but it should in return reward the player with a large amount of planar ingredients. Perhaps you can destroy the sand pillars and spikes for the resources (probably with a limit)?
