Wagstaff-less changes

[Piekam]

Spoiler

As we all know, Wagstaff disapears after the newest boss fight, so ive come with some neat ideas to make gameplay and everything related to that even a lot more smooth and cool.

• Celestial Champion after phase 3 gets a new final phase, similiar to that of a Scion, but weaker... a lot less hp, no planar damage, no floor attack, just a final attempt of killing you before it expires... could be even a timed thing where you need to survive like 2-3 minutes and then they disapear.
• Remove the Restrained Static from the lunar storms, let it be craftable via scraps, pure brilliance and yellow moon lens (yes, new crafting for moon lenses cuz we needed one.), let the birds spawn naturally while rifts are active from time to time, like frogs from frog rain.
• Mutated bosses no longer just drop the spark ark, let it be craftable by players using scrap, thulecite and wires... bosses now drop the "briliant fang", "briliant antler" and "crystalised fur", which is used in the crafting recipe, so they still need to be killed to craft what you want, but the sparks can be obtained without "the interference".
• Wobot blueprints dropping from Scrappy Werepig after the Scion has been defeated.
• Jewels being able to be socketed into the lightning rod, upgrading it, so that the bright shades cant go near its radius. (maybe another use for lenses, please)

Also-

Just realised, plucked celestial fissures are a thing... maybe the Scion should destroy the shelled thingies, for aesthetic purposes only. To show how powerful Alter is, and that it cant be contained you know.

maybe the wagstaff note can be the crafting machine for these. just like how we use orb

The rest is fine but this would suck a lot, this would limit a server to only getting a singular Polar Bearger Bin per year, since you'd need to kill Armored Bearger every single time. Right now you can just repeat Varg/Deerclops fights to get spark arks and craft more.

Yes, but then we dont have use for these bosses... unless they dropped some idk... lunar essense or something- to make spark arks with, in general, non boss specific. that way they could add more of those too-

You can craft thick fur from fur tufts, i.e you can either farm it from leading Bearger in circles or dupe it with green gem stuff, and get more without needing to wait a full year for the next spawn.

fur tufts are tedious, i think they're just there who's scared of killing bearger cuz of its destructivity, or those that want to be friends with it
