General Improvements and QOL for Wendy

[ShadyTooOP]

So far, I think Wendy's skilltree is good and balanced imo, but that's not the topic of this post. I want to talk about the Grave part of the skill tree. Of course, graves are a really good source of resources when dug up, and that has benefited many or some players, Wendy or not, throughout the game. I like the idea of digging graves and relocating them. However, that idea is somehow.. impractical. I know the ghosts can be summoned and help you in aid, but you can have 4 ghosts at a time and now they can die I think (Correct me if I am wrong, its okay we are just discussing anyways), but I don't think a lot of people would dig up graves, put flowers on them near bosses or boss summons, and then make the ghosts help them. Maybe there might be a meta that will be prevalent in the future regarding this, but so far, imo, I don't think this is very practical since the ghosts can die easily and although they do help, its not much. So, let's go away from fighting in this category. Why not make Wendy be able to regenerate the graves? I know, I know, some people may say this is OP but we can balance it. We can make Wendy have to do something (Like putting a vase on the grave, adorning it with dark petals, crafting something that is a bit expensive, or anything, this is just a rough idea). After she does the action, the grave would have to wait 10 days (or whatever days it will take to make it balanced, again, rough idea) and after that time threshold, the grave would be renewed and it can be dug up again. This would make Wendy be able to farm some resources while having a good source of Pipspooks near the base.

 

Another aspect I want to cover is Wendy's use of dark petals. Prior to the hotfixes, Wendy could craft her own dark petals. Additionally, these petals could be used to make the vest, which used 20 Dark Petals if I am not mistaken. However the vest was removed, which is a shame honestly but I'm not here to say that it should come back. As of the moment, Wendy cannot craft dark petals anymore, but she can command Abi to haunt and make dark petals. However, this isn't really used is her crafts a lot. I think only for the grave craft. Maybe there could be something that makes use of the dark petals in Wendy's personal tab, since all dark petals can make in the game are the sweeper and nightmare fuel (I don't know if there are other crafts that use dark petals, but I'm NOT claiming that these are the only ones). Maybe there could be something that is crafted using dark petals that would be able to create anything useful, Idk what though, as of the moment. Maybe, just throwing ideas here, it could make a torch or light of some sort that could be placed on Abi or something. Just something to make Wendy's conversion of petals into dark petals useful.

 

Again these are just suggestions and ideas, take this with a grain of salt. I just said something to maybe fill the gab where some people would not use such mechanics.

I like the idea of regenerating graves and giving more use to dark petals. The excavated grave cannot be restored, which is very ugly.

Even if newly built graves cannot be dug up, or if there are no items when they are dug up, that's acceptable. This would be an improvement in terms of quality of life and aesthetics.
